"you're better at this than me. you just are." "he isn't that way. he's better than that."

"you make me better at this." "you make me better at this."

The show is definitely still exploring how parental figures influence our choice of partners. If that's the case, the writing shows not only Claire being similar to Donna but also Syd and Carmy being drawn to each other because they are the opposite of each other's parents.

Sydney is different from Donna. Carmy is not like Emmuel.

Even though it's a good thing Sydney is nothing like Donna- it's the opposite for Emmanuel and carmy. Carmy has to be like Emmanuel to win Sydney over. Because some legacies must be followed and grown on the family tree, Sydney and carmy know this- which is why carmy still struggles to be that rock for Sydney and just as reliable. Reliance is the character's main obstacle. Healthy masculinity - Carmy is learning to be a solid and stable man but can struggle.

It's explained early on why Carmy struggles to embody a healthy masculine figure. Carmy has a deadbeat father, an inconsistent brother, and an uncle who now regrets not being there more. However, as the season progresses, characters like Pete, Steve, and Emmanuel are introduced. They are men who can express their emotions healthily and don't feel the need to exhibit bravado to prove their masculinity. The three men also express their love openly, something carmy never learned to do.

So they establish early on that Carmy did not have a solid male figure in his life, and they point out early on that Sydney has a steady male figure in her life.

So Sydney is attracted to a man who doesn't have the same traits as Emmanuel, but she sees something in him that makes her want to try.

Just like Carmy wants to try, he's always asking for Emmanuel because he wants to be like that kind of man.

Because he's someone who sydney relies on:

And for Sydney to mention this in 3x05 Children that it's scary to rely on a person, I don't think she's just talking about her dad.

On the first watch, I thought of Carmy and 2x02 Pasta. when he mentioned relying on her dad.

I might be biased as a Sydcamy shipper, but it's clear that Carmy wants to express his love for Sydney by letting her rely on him. However, he's not equipped to be that guy for Sydney.

We see a glimpse of the reliable Carmy under the table, who could be there for Sydney when he was completely present and serene. He promised Sydney that he'd be the man she could rely on- looking back now, I can see how significant that was- enough for them to take a long moment of silence and hold a long gaze.

If anyone else can see what I'm seeing, why is it platonic when they continue to make this opposite attraction? Is this one of the reasons for these vibrant collaborations? Do they show signs of who Emmanuel is and who Carmys will be? That he promised Sydney he'd be?

What moment made you a SydCarmy shipper?

Or at what moment did you realize they were heading in that direction?

For me, it was S1 ep5 when the episode opens and ends with Syd and Carmy prepping in the kitchen together. And then when she asks him to help her strain the broth and they play that song in the background that says something like "This is how I show you I love you" or something. That's when I realized that the show might be heading in that direction.

When I became a full blown SydCarmy TRUTHER though was the frickin panic attack scene. It's like everything came together for me. All those longing looks, all the tension and passion. It makes sense. Honorable mention goes to when Carmy introduces Claire to Syd. Poetic cinema.

What about you all?

since twitter wants to be so mad abt carmen’s potential love interest being a black woman, i’m making my oc a black and hispanic woman. HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

[katiethelmie]

“You will be mine”

Day 5 mutual pining/realization for Sydcarmy week! Wanted to at least do this prompt (and maybe the last day, keep an eye out on ao3👁️) because I had this pose in mind for them. Imagine them finally accepting eachothers feelings and just kissin it out ya know? Enjoy!

I beg of someone anyone please point out to me what makes the Sydney and Carmy relationship so interesting? I don’t even mean romantically but like just in any way that isn’t professional? I personally have my own idea of what it COULD be, like I think they have this amazing opportunity to learn from each others mistakes and learn how to better work with each other but I also feel like a lot of those opportunities, in my opinion, have just been skipped. And like their scenes don’t really give me the impression they’re personally close? I thought it was great when they were at the apartment going over dishes and cooking together but I really can’t think of much else? At least that’s positive and like a genuine bonding time that isn’t them trying to make some kind of important decision or just giving feedback.

Like this in comparison to what I can remember with Sydney and Tina or Sydney and Marcus. I really like watching Sydneys interactions with Tina because you can really see their relationship change and what they like about each other. And Sydney and Marcus have that time outside of the kitchen to talk and the moments inside it that really genuinely make them feel like they like each other. It feels like a friendship that would actually last outside of the kitchen.

My point is I can’t think of more than MAYBE a single time where Carmen and Sydney felt like they were even slightly actually close in a personal way. The table scene was really really sweet of course but it just feels like they’re business partners, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but again I beg what makes their relationship interesting outside of work.

If they don’t expect me to ship them, why do they give me scenes like this?!

"you could do this without me." "I wouldn't even want to do it without you."
