On that season 4 teaser for The Bear…

It definitely looks like Syd and Donna are talking at a wedding reception and we know by the end of season 3 that Tiff and Frank have a wedding in the works.

I really don’t think Syd is Carmy’s date to that wedding.

I’m thinking she’d be Richie’s +1 to the wedding: as a friend/support person, given how hard the breakdown of his marriage to Tiff has been for him, how close Syd and he have gotten and how fucked his relationship with Carmy has become.

I want Sydcarmy to happen as much as everyone else but I just don’t see Carmy willingly bringing Sydney to an event where she might meet Donna, given he’s spent 5 years avoiding his mother.

UNLESS that scene is from later in the season and Carmy’s done the work to move through (at least some of) his pain with Donna.

CLOCKING SYDNEY: SYDCARMY AND LUSYD

Luca zeroed in on Sydney, the second she walked in

Carmy clocked it immediately

But didn't do anything about it.

Sir! Please!!!!

[whenmemorydies]

I think you’re right about this…Joanna Calo in this interview (around 22:00) also talks about how the show’s creators wanted to talk about recovery and how it’s not linear - how you might think you’re better then realise that maybe you aren’t.

Also, welcome back! We missed you! ❤️

Carmy: Regression

This might be the craziest/stupidest take for s3 of The Bear but whatever. I had talked about how s3 was about isolation and guilt before. What if it was also about regression (at least for Carmy’s character)?

Sydney is (re)meeting a award-winning chef of fine dining. Sydney thought about leaving the bear (officially) but still came back in s1/thought about leaving the bear which lead to the panic attack in s3.

Carmy and Richie are back to fighting like in s1 with Marcus and Sydney between them.

I need more time to think about this but I think the whole purpose was about life going full circle and s4 is (hopefully) about fully breaking the cycle.

I’m basically implying this season was a giant defense mechanism. Don’t take my word for it! I’m just getting back into writing metas after a hiatus.

Carmy was always used to the routine and being stressed in fine dining. He still talked about how that experience was “everything” even when he discussed having stomach problems. He also says that he lost track of time then mikey passed away.

In s3, I’m fairly certain Carmy says that he’s tired or sick of it. That could mean that he’s been trying to get back into that state/routine and it’s not working this time.

“an attempt to achieve something important.” Like getting a star for a restaurant perhaps? “a sense of security, reciprocated love, and trust.” hmm…

I have also discussed how Carmy and Claire are basically reminiscing on their “high school” days in their relationship. Couldn’t that fit for the “feeling of childhood innocence” that’s stated in the article?

I feel like I’m not making any sense but also think i’m beginning to crack the code at the same time so I’ll just leave this here for now.

Authors Note: I wrote this yesterday on Twitter before the promo that just recently came out. This is not a complete meta but I thought I’d put it here so I could see if anyone agrees or disagrees with these thoughts! I’m glad to be sort of back after a fairly long hiatus! @thoughtfulchaos773 made a video with Carl Jung coincidentally enough. I might be closer to the truth than I thought lol.

it's the great comet, richie

you take richie to see natasha, pierre and the great comet of 1812. it's not too hard to convince him because he's trying to get himself more cultured-like, and learn to appreciate art better -

he's nervous. it's a musical. he's not used to this shit where everyone sings how they're feeling all the fuckin time (and all the fuckin dancing) - but you wanted to see it and you wanted him to go with you; so here he is, a little clammy, sitting uncomfortably upright and aware of his height and the first song starts and he's even more nervous because there's so many words being said so quickly and everyone has 9 different names and they are in the programme but is he supposed to read that during? the show? isn't that like, rude - he's trying his best, for you, and slowly he gets into it like, hey, this music's okay

but then, at the end of act 1, pierre sings

and he understands

Is this how I die? Was there ever any other way my life could be? Is this how I die? Such a storm of feelings inside of me?

But then why am I screaming? Why am I shaking? Oh God, was there something that I missed? Did I squander my divinity? Was happiness within me the whole time?

[theroyalmisfitmess]

Since we are on the topic of an actual wedding possibly happening on The Bear, imagine a wholeass episode where Richie tries to have dinner with Tiff and her fiancé for the sake of their daughter. We can see Richie be a good dad and with much dismay finally let Tiff go. It’s gonna be heartbreaking and an emotional rollercoaster to watch but fuck I really wanna see Tiff get all sentimental about Richie and their daughter even if she knows they shouldn’t get back together.

Also a small part of me does want Richie and Tiff to get back together even if I know it’s impossibly realistic. Their “I love you” phone call had me sad and sobbing and it’s nearly impossible to get me at that state. I just can’t find the emotional side of me.

You remember sitting on your couch when Carmy left and then you remember standing at Richie’s door. The middle was a little foggy, all you knew was that now you were standing at Richie’s door at 12AM and needed to come up with a reason. 

He opened the door and immediately you remembered everything just by seeing him. 

“I don’t have a name.” You pushed through him and into his place. 

“Come on in.” He mumbled. 

“I don’t have a name and I just spent the entire night watching TV with Carmy and listening to him talk about fuckin’ Claire. Did you know Claire was back? Apparently Claire is back. Also, do you know if he’s working on the menu with Syd? We were watching fuckin’ Jeopardy reruns and he really should be working on the menu and I should be working on a name and the blends.” 

“You’re throwing a lot at me right now, sweetheart.” Richie’s eyes were closed as he tried to wrap his mind around everything you said. 

“You were asleep?” You turned around and realized you were standing right in front of him. You stood there a minute and really looked at Richie, really took in the sight of him. 

“Yes, I was asleep, it’s 12AM.” He hummed and opened his eyes to look at you. 

“That’s what you wear to sleep.” You pointed to the oversized jersey shirt he wore. 

“It’s comfy and it’s a good luck thing.” He looked down at the shirt and picked up the bottom hem before making eye contact back with you. 

“But the Bulls don’t play tomorrow.” You pointed to the red mascot patch resting on his chest. 

“But the Cubs do.” He nodded once like what he said made complete sense. 

“Soooo, why not a Cubs shirt?” You were intrigued by whatever the hell this was. 

“Because it doesn’t work like that.” He said it so absolute, like you should know exactly what it was that he meant. 

“You’re throwing a lot at me right now.” You repeated his sentence back to him. He smiled at that and shook his head in a touche kind of way.  “I don’t want it to be awkward.” You blurted out without thinking twice. 

“What?” His face twitched back slightly at your sentence. 

“Between us. So what? We sleep together. I enjoy your company. I’d like to think you enjoy mine, so like, it doesn’t need to be awkward.” You were rambling, it was out of nerves but also truthful. 

“You think it’s awkward between us?” Richie asked seriously. 

“I think it’s awkward between us.” You nodded confirming his sentence. 

“Okay so it won’t be awkward.” He shrugged, his voice coming more to it now from being asleep. 

“Okay.” You said with confidence. 

There was a silence that fell over the two of you now. One might have described it as sort of an awkward silence. 

“So you wanna think of a name?” Richie interrupted the quiet. 

“There’s no way I can come up with a name right now.” You let out a chuckle and brought your hands up to your eyes rubbing them as the exhaustion settled in. 

“You wanna stay over?” He asked, you could hear the confidence behind the statement that was quickly sheltered by his following words. “We can brainstorm up some type of business plan and make things not awkward.” Now he was making jokes, the smile on his face was cute, it was flirty, but your lack of response caused Richie to go into ramble mode. “I say that cause like I know my way around a business plan, I helped Mikey out with a few, nothing special, and they didn’t get finalized, but–” 

“Yes.” You cut him off, very eagerly. “Yes to staying over and yes to the business plan.” 

“Alright.” He nodded and moved to clean off the table and grab a notebook.

“Alright.” You plopped into the seat at his kitchen island that was now pretty empty and clean. 

The two of you made notes on multiple pages of the notebook, Richie making points about things you’d likely have to find solutions and answers for and you making notes that either Richie had the answer for or you spent some time googling to get more information. Honestly, despite the exhaustion between the both of you, it was fun. You needed some outline of what to do with your coffee brand and product and this was that. It felt good to be working on it and having someone help you that also believed in it, and you. 

“I get the jersey thing now.” You interrupted your work session. 

“You do?” Richie asked, sitting next to you now. 

“It’s a jinx thing. It’s not basketball season, it’s baseball season, which means you wear the basketball jersey before the Cubs play to stir up the "Chicago magic" because wearing the baseball jersey would jinx everything.” It was a long winded answer and honestly made little to zero sense. 

“Exactly that.” He slammed his head on the table in excitement. 

“It makes no sense.” You laughed and rolled your eyes. 

“But it works.” He shrugged. 

“And it looks good on you.” 

Richie immediately looked over at you, shocked at what you said. 

“You flirting with me?” He smirked, trying to cut his embarrassment with a joke. 

“Maybe.” Your eyebrows raised and you shrugged your shoulders. “Any rules about taking the jersey off and back on in the same night?” 

Richie’s smile didn’t fade as he stared at you. “Not sure, never done it.” 

“What if I wore the jersey?” You stared back into his eyes, trying to say so much to him through a simple look. 

“Again, we’re entering into never been done territory here.” He swayed from side to side breaking your eye contact likely because the flirting was making him nervous. 

You never really did this part of things both times you, well, you know, and all the other times you flirted were mindless, harmless fun. This was intentional, this was direct and clearly new for the both of you. 

“Maybe…” You paused, not sure what Richie’s reaction to what you were thinking of saying was going to be but decided the only way to find out was to say it, “we could test it out.” 

Richie’s reaction was to lean over and kiss you. It was intense, it was thrilling, and it was everything to you. It didn’t take long until you two ended up in his bedroom, but it did come after a vigorous makeout in the kitchen area, one that would have made the health inspectors of any restaurant kitchen provide an F rating immediately. Your notes and thoughts ended up scattered on the floor in the heat of it all, both of your clothes left in a trail as you made your way to his room, jersey included. Not that you were keeping track but this might’ve been the best night you spent together yet, the last two were great but they didn’t feel as effortless as this time, although you would have described each time with Richie as effortless, truthfully. You felt safe with him, you felt comfortable, and even more than that you always enjoyed time with him. 

You remember waking up early in the morning as Richie was getting up for work, you were groggy and still half asleep. At that point you only had a couple hours of sleep so everything was foggy. The memory you did have was of him telling you he had to get Eva to school but that you didn’t have to get up and that the spare key was…somewhere for you to lock up whenever you got up. That ended up being 12:30PM. You were thankful that your co-worker switched shifts with you to the late afternoon time slot and it allowed you to get those extra hours of snooze time, it also allowed you to soak in the fact that you were at Richie Jerimovich’s place. You hadn’t been here, ever. You picked him up a few times, dropped him off, but other than that, you had never been inside.

Getting out of bed, you followed your trail of clothes and placed them back on as you made your way back to the kitchen table. All your notes were in a stack on the table with a k-cup, breakfast granola bar, and note. You couldn’t help but smile at it before picking it up to read. 

All I had laying around, don’t fuckin’ judge me. Spare key is in the light to the right of the front door. Had a really good time last night, also…think you got yourself a business. 

The last sentence made you look down at all your notes, he was right, you had the starts of a business here, the start of your own coffee product and plan. Your smile would have been contagious if you weren’t alone. The idea that this was all happening was making you feel giddy, that mixed with the irony that after all the planning for your own coffee blends you were about to have a Keurig coffee cup was honestly bringing you a lot of joy. 

____

As you left work, you were surprisingly in a good mood for working the later shift. It helped that everything from the night before was still fresh in your mind. Walking home early evening was your favorite commuting time, the streets weren't packed with people, the sun was setting so the sky was oranges mixed with dark blues. As you continued to stroll, you walked by someone smoking a cigarette with a cubs jersey on.

“Hey, sorry but do you know if the Cubs won today?” You stopped walking just to ask him. 

“Yea, 6-4.” He said exhaling. 

“Thank you.” You grinned and pulled out your phone. 

You 7:15PM Heard the cubs won. 

Richie 7:16PM Sox play tomorrow, you should come over.  Richie 7:16PM For the sake of the game. 

You 7:16 On my way You 7:17: For the sake of the game.

NEED richie jeremovich’s reading list like i need air

[whenmemorydies]

You know, now that you say it, I think it makes sense that Tiffany invited Donna.

Because at first my thought process was, well Donna is not Richie’s or Eva’s family, they only spent time together because Richie was friends with the Berzattos. And now that Tiffany and Richie are divorced, Tiffany has no family ties to Donna.

But then I remembered that in Fishes, Tiffany actually seems to have a decent friendship with Donna. Donna lets her wear her robe and chill in her bed and there’s no negativity in their interactions. Tiffany is not traumatized by Donna like Sugar is.

So then that explains why she’d like Donna enough to invite her to the wedding.

Yeah I agree, I think Fishes establishes that Tiff is treated like part of the Berzatto family, like Richie to an extent. In that episode, she appears to have good relationships with Donna, Cicero, Mikey and Nat. We also see her at Mikey's funeral and she looks pretty upset there too.

There appears to be a circle of families who may not be biologically related to them but who form part of the Berzatto's close social circle. This includes Richie, Tiff and Eva, Cicero and his wife, Uncle Lee and the Faks. Given their closeness, even if they're not related by blood, it doesn't seem like a big stretch to me that Tiff would invite Donna and others in that same social circle to her wedding to Frank. We also hear Tiff telling Richie that she doesn't have much family left - which gives her even more reason to keep her chosen family close.

SYDNEY WILL BE MORE PATIENT WHEN RICHIE MAKES A MISTSKE: THE BEAR SEASON 3

In the trailer on FX, Richie says 'Happy Friday Guys'

Sydney looks irritated at first, then says to him

It's Saturday. WITH. A . SMILE.

She looks so radiant and beautiful.

I know Sydcarmy is endgame but if Richie was interested he might have a chance

[escapismqueen]

I love Richie jeremovich. Like seriously he’s won my heart 🤣

[wtfsteveharrington]

Hey, I'm have the worst year of my life and I need Richie Jeremovich to make me feel better. My mom died and I had to go to the funeral alone while watching my brother and sister have someone. I understand if this is too heavy, but if you could write about Richie being there for you, I'd appreciate it.

hi there <3

i've debated answering this for a few days - first and foremost i'm very sorry for your loss.

sadly i've experienced some very, very serious losses of my own over this past year and i'm not comfortable writing grief related stories at this time. i hate to go as far as to say it's a bit triggering for me, but unleashing that side of my life is just a bit too heavy for me. i will updated my request guide to reflect this.

it's not easy to heal but i hope you're able to find some peace. my thoughts are with you

[kneworder]

character trait i wish i didn't share with richie jeremovich is that i fully understand where he's coming from at the end of the first conversation he has with carmy like even if cooking isn't fun for carmy and even if it's literally tearing him apart it's still passion and it's still purpose and living without a strong sense of those things is so frightening and disheartening that sometimes you find yourself wishing you had something you cared enough about to work yourself to death over it. ok. anyway.
