HIS LITTLE SMILE 😭

[nerawrites]

Plated, But Unfinished

Alicia has spent her life in kitchens, using the heat and chaos as both an escape and a proving ground. Known in the culinary world as Lloris, a rising star with an elusive identity, she built her reputation through relentless work, never allowing the spotlight to fall on her—only on her food. But the past has a way of catching up, and after one catastrophic night in the kitchen—one mistake, one outburst—everything she built comes crashing down.

With nothing but impulse and desperation driving her, Alicia abandons her life overnight. She erases Lloris, sells everything, and takes the next flight out—landing in Chicago, a city she knows nothing about. Reinventing herself under a new name, she manages to secure a job at The Bear, an up-and-coming restaurant with a chaotic energy all its own. Determined to keep her past buried, Alicia throws herself into this fresh start, unaware that the very things she’s running from—pressure, talent, and a stubbornly persistent famous chef—might make it impossible to stay hidden.

Uncle Carmy

[alwaysshipping1]

Reupping this in light of the new teaser

Is this Carmy smiling at his niece!?! 😭🥹

That Carmy smile…🥹

At about the 10 second mark, there is a shot of a smiling Carmy. Like a wide wide wide smile! The other shots are all from S3. I don’t remember seeing Carmy smile that wide in S3. Could it be a scene from S4 or am I just forgetting the S3 scene where he smiles with his whole face?!

In any case, this smile is everything! 😍🥹☺️

THE BEAR: 3.05 || 3.09

Carmy fighting through his social terror to help Willow fight through hers

he knows he's gotta lead by example but he fucking dreads it lmao. literally his worst nightmare, having to talk to people- strangers.

he's fighting for his life and he's so happy once he gets to jimmy's house at the end for his halloween party, and willow is less shy.

"teddy beat you down here." jimmy snorts lightly, nodding towards the girl, already on the floor with her cousins trading candy.

"yeah, we, uh, willow wasn't as excited as teddy was about the whole trick-or-treatin' thing." carmen ran a hand over willow's head. "she's a little nervous."

"nothin' wrong with that." jimmy said quickly, grinning down at willow. "it's weird, isn't it willow? goes against all instincts knockin' on doors and beggin' for candy. you just have good survival skills, kid."

Not just that, Carmy 💯 gives the vibes of talking to that baby like she’s his shrink, like really opening up to her, in a way he can’t even do with adults. AA meeting style, but also imagining her answers. Like full on wholesome and heart-wrenching imaginary dialogues between him and her.

My silly goofy headcanon of the day is when Carmy is babysitting for his niece when she’s a baby he feels awkward at first and talks to her like she’s a grown up.

“Do you need anything? Let me know” and she’s just staring at him.

Uncle Carmy

I've seen people lapidating Carmy because he didn't give a fuck about Nat's baby.

Well, we don't know that.

And jumping to that conclusion seems a little harsh and UNFAIR if you ask me (apparently bc he yelled at Syd he's now the devil incarnated and I bet that if he woulda been nice to her, but just as shitty as he was to everyone else, you woulda looked the other way and understood him -AWESOME! You're very kind! Never change!-). But then again, that's all most people have been doing with Carmy since June 27. So... I guess I should have seen it coming.

This is what I saw.

What we do know:

His phone and everyone else's were in the locker.

The next day, or whenever mom, dad & baby were back home and Syd paid them a visit, Carmy was at his place drawing and reminiscing his Copenhagen days, also thinking about The Bear's menu (to get Syd her bullshit star because that's all he thinks about), because he was looking for inspiration in those books. We don't know if he had already talked to Nat or to Pete or if he showed up at the hospital before Nat was discharged at some point, etc. Usually, if you have a natural birth you stay at the hospital 24 hours after delivery if everything is OK, longer if necessary for mom/baby. Also, we know that Donna was there and they haven't seen each other yet, according to Uncle Jimmy. This means that either Carmy coulda possibly have visited Nat and the baby at the hospital when Donna wasn't there, or that he didn't show up because he knew Donna was there and didn't consider that the best timing, as peace and love should be top priorities on those special occasions, so not dropping by to avoid Donna, was actually the most appropriate thing to do, postponing the visit to a more "convenient" Donna-free time. I kinda agree. When rooms get too crowded mom and baby get stressed out and if that crowd includes Donna and Carmy's tension, I actually prefer he didn't show up at the hospital at all. If that was the case, that was the most sensible thing to do.

Nat didn't seem mad at anyone when she sent the baby's pic to the group chat, which leads me to think that everything was A-OK with Uncle Carmy. She was fine. So thinking that Carmy had already showed up at the hospital or at her place once they were back home or even had a text or phone conversation with her to make sure they were ok and schedule a Donna-free visit, doesn't seem too much of a stretch. It's actually what usually happens in dysfunctional families.

My point is: The fact that they didn't show any of these potential scenarios and based on what they did decide to show 90% of the fandom decided to never give Carmy the benefit of the doubt or not even consider that maybe they didn't show a very plausible phone call or text or that Carmy actually was at Nat's place before or after Syd or even at the hospital, only shows how partial your way of watching the show is, and how much you guys miss for being partial. I'm not even gonna go over more serious topics like lack of compassion, empathy, open-mindedness, etc, because I have in previous posts, and even when I'm certainly not here for anyone's amusement but my own, it bores me to tears at this point to repeat the same stuff over and over. Ultimately you only see what you are prepared to see, so whatever I say or not is not gonna change that, and that's OK. But just so you know THERE IS A HUGE CHANCE that what's not on camera, may have happened anyway and we might find out about it later on and you may need to swallow your words reconsider your position taken against Uncle Carmy... Be aware.

Binged The Bear recently and loved it then did some sketches of the cast.

[thoughtfulchaos773]

Controversial. But The Bear 2.0 was for Sydney. (I'll be fair and say 40% mikey 60% sydney).

But I said it. All these questions of Carmy, why are you doing this? His motivation is Sydney. Carmy suddenly wants to be the guy. And what catches Jimmy's eye is that Carmy isn't running away.

He knows that Carmy has a tendency to avoid difficult situations. He also understands, just as well as Carmy does, that Carmy could have simply paid him the money and continued the business for himself and Mikey. He wasn't even willing to sell it before, but this time, he is. He's even open to the challenge of trying to earn a star because his coworker wants one?

Carmy is willing to support her, even if it means accepting losses if things don’t work out.

He's willing to be there. He's willing to be the guy.

Carmy is not avoiding his responsibilities; he genuinely wants to be the committed one his father wasn’t. While he couldn’t fulfill that role for his own family, he aspires to be that person for his work family.

Jimmy, an long time investor in the Berzatto Family, understands that work families can sometimes be closer than real ones. It wouldn’t surprise me if Jimmy mentioned to Donna the changes he’s noticing in Carmy since meeting Sydney.

I believe that in season 4, his transformation and motivation will become clearer to the audience. Jimmy recognizes the risks he is taking, and Richie is also noticing these changes. I think Donna will notice them, too. My only question is whether Carmy and Sydney will acknowledge that these changes are a result of his growing closeness to Sydney.
