Blood Oranges and Cherries.

Carmy took aftercare very seriously. After each session, without fail, he’d slide into his boxers and get to work cleaning Sydney up, hydrating her, and even massaging her tired muscles if she needed it. He’d read once that fruit after sex was great for bringing energy backup and that had been a part of his routine ever since. Tonight he waltzed back into the bedroom, with his satisfied goofy grin and a bowl full of chilled blood oranges and seedless purple cherries, her favorites.

After sex Sydney was chatty and a little inquisitional, so as soon as he got comfortable, she was asking him questions. “When you think about your future. What do you see?” She asked, as she reached excitedly for the fruit.

“I see you.” Carmy answered simply.

A small smile played on her lips as she shook her head. “Beyond that.”

“There’s nothing beyond that.” Carmy couldn’t help thinking how beautiful she looked grinning back at him. Even with her braids in a messy ponytail and her in nothing but some ratty old t-shirt of his (especially then) he couldn’t imagine ever wanting anything else. “In addition to me, then. What do you want for your future?” She clarified, popping a cherry into her mouth.

“I want to make you dinner tonight.” Carmy took a bite of the blood orange he meticulously cut for them. It was sweet but still sour enough to make his cheeks tingle.

“Further in the future, Carm.”

He took his time chewing, then answered slowly. “I want to make your father like me.”

Sydney sucked her teeth.“He likes you. He has the potential to like you…someday. What else?”

“I want to take you to Copenhagen like I promised.”

Sydney sighed. “Very sweet but all of your answers are about other people, well other person. What do you want, for you.”

He frowned. Making Sydney happy was all he wanted. He felt fulfilled every time she smiled at him. But he knew she wasn’t going to take that for an answer so with the bite of a cherry he pivoted. “In the future do you want kids?”

“No.” It was a quick no, an assured one. “Is that a problem?”

“No.” He answered quickly also. It was perfect, actually. He’d decided long ago that he didn’t want them. “I thought you would, you had a good childhood with non-shitty parents—”

“Non shitty parent.”

He nodded. “ I just mean you had a great relationship with your dad and your childhood was relatively happy. I thought you’d want kids.”

“I did have a great childhood and a single dad who spoiled the hell out of me. I think it made me selfish.”

“You are the farthest thing from selfish.” She was the most giving person he’d ever known. He didn’t see how she could think that about herself.

“I don’t want my whole life to change because I have to look after someone else. I don’t want to be out of work for nine months. I don’t want hormones fucking up my body and emotions. I want to cook and I want to come home to you.” She reached for his hand. It could have been his imagination but he felt the tiny rhythmic drum of her pulse playing the same tune that his was. It was like they shared a heartbeat. “I want that too.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Good because I want to do this forever.”

Carmy moved the bowl to the night stand and pulled her into him. He found it impossible to communicate how he felt at that moment. He searched his brain but no word felt romantic enough, no word felt big enough to encapsulate his love for her. So he kissed her, hoping that he could transmute everything he couldn’t say through his lips. If he couldn’t, at least now he knew he had the rest of their lives to try.

#full disclosure I did not adhere to the word limit#went a bit over#I just loooove any scenario where Carmy is obsessed with Sydney#The Bear#had too much to say about it lol#sydney adamu#carmy berzatto#sydcarmy#the bear fan fiction#SAY MORE PLEASE DRABBLE GAME

The first time Carmy said “Syd” and Sydney said “Carm”

I love nicknames, especially affectionate ones. I believe it is a more intimate, kind, and less formal way of communicating when moving from acquaintances to something more intimate.

The first time I heard someone call Sydney “Syd” was Tina, in Brigade, 3x3. It was precisely during one of Tina's worst moments, when she harms Syd by turning up the heat and delaying service. This happened when Carmy asked who was responsible for the onions, which were Tina's responsibility, but she said it was “Syd,” so Carmy asked if it was “Syd,” and then this misunderstanding arose. Although Tina still didn't like Syd at the restaurant, she used the nickname, and Carmy followed suit.

Carmy called Sydney “Syd” directly to her in review 1x7, after Ebra called her Syd and said she had to tell her father about the compliment on the ribs dish delivered to the critic. Syd wanted to know if everything was okay with what had happened, and I think Carmy called her that to calm her down.

The first time Syd called Carmy “Carm” was in episode 2x1, when they made the proposal to Cicero. By then, she already felt more comfortable as his partner, more intimate. This occurred during the debate about them earning “stars.”

I noticed that Carmy only said “Syd” when someone spoke first. It seems that he only felt comfortable saying it if someone else spoke first, as if it were too intimate for him to say it to her. Then, in Braciole, he finally spoke without anyone commenting first; he missed her.

The only ones I saw, at least until Carmy started calling her that, were Tina, Ebra, and Cicero.

ask box etiquette +clarifications

Some anon(s) in my ask box seem to think I hate Carmy ???Yall are paragraphing me to death over there lol. To clarify I don’t hate Carmy. I think he’s frustrating and a bitch sometimes (to be fair I think most men are bitches 🤷🏾‍♀️) but I don’t hate him. I’ve also gotten asks telling me that I hate The Bear??? I have an entire blog dedicated to the show, obviously I like it alot. I don’t think it is perfect and when I feel like talking about that… I will because it is MY blog.

If I truly have a problem with a blog I block it; I invite yall to do the same with @half-bloodorange . If me talking shit and being silly on here is causing you so much distress that you have to cuss me out in my asks (on anon lol) just block me. You will feel better. I promise.

Tone is hard to decipher on tumblr so for future reference: I don’t take much seriously on here. I like to make jokes and fan ouuuut. Sometimes I’ll share my thoughts on acting or writing but even that is not that serious I’m just some bitch on the internet with an opinion (a very educated opinion because I study and teach this stuff 💅🏾but still just a random opinion). Telling me to kms because I didn’t like the writing in a particular moment of the show is CRAZY ( like girly calm…omg) If you send me an ask being rude to me or another blog, you will not get the response you want. You will not get any response at all actually, I am just going to delete your comment.

I don’t mind people sharing their thoughts with me, I really enjoy it, even when we disagree, (my opinions on the show change all the time, especially after a rewatch or really good meta). I love knowing why people think things and I like sharing why I do too. I’m not saying stop sharing with me I’m just saying keep it cute. Most people in my asks are very pleasant (and are looking for the fics I that I take too long to update 😅) but some of yall are are BIG trippin’ and I would love it if you would just chill 😘

#did not know Carmy had shooters like this oml#im still going to be on his head though lmao#idc idc idc#i think this app would be so much better if people regarded everyone as just some b*tch with an opinion#I really don’t think I’m out here saying anything wild either…but I guess that is subjective#sydcarmy#the bear fandom#carmen berzatto

All the ways Carmy shows his love for Sydney….

Avatar

he absolutely loves her and it is so frustrating that the show won’t let it go beyond small moments that can never catch a real wind of momentum because the showrunners grab it and stomp it out before the intimacy can make the impact it should. like what do you mean the scene under the table amounted to fuck all? what do you mean???? did they not hear his tone? did they not hear the words that THEY wrote??

and the show couching these beautiful moments between awful ones where Carmy is so painfully uncommunicative, a bit selfish (season 3 I’m looking you directly in your eye), and outwardly impassive,,,whiplash. Carmy says/does these wonderful things and then goes back to his BULLSHIT constantly and sometimes it really just really gets to a point…

Your feelings valid. However this is apart of Carmy’s journey. The timeline might be aggravating to watch as a viewer but each season he does grow. Carmy is deeply depressed and traumatized and I think his lack of 1 on 1 therapy dictates why his growth has been slow going. Again not fun to watch but also realistic for someone who is actually going through those things.

Even *if* he does realize he has feelings for Sydney neither one of them has been in a place to communicate those where they would be received well. Carmy’s lack of romantic momentum is not without attempts to try and connect with Sydney on a more personal level, even throughout his depressive fixation of s3 where he felt like the only way to prove to Sydney he was worth anything was by getting her a star even if it meant pushing her away. Something you can tell was not his intention.

I just feel like there’s a lack of empathy being missed when the show is trying to get us to deeply understand where all of his negative reactions or traits stems from. This is not to baby him by any means. He needs to realize he needs the singular help of a professional to work through those things and I think him leaving the restaurant is his way of attempting to figure this out.

I don’t see where there’s any stomping out happening at all within the narrative of the show or anything that the showrunners have said. They just aren’t giving away more than they need to. Both characters deserve empathy when it comes to their lack of ability to recognize and verbalize any other personal intentions because of who they are as people it makes sense for them to stall or hesitate or push people away. Loneliness is what they know and are comfortable with even if they both don’t want that deep down inside.

I believe Jeremy said this show is about characters learning how to communicate. They are the only two characters that don’t know how to do that with each other so I think that’s what we’re building up to.

I think we may have differing opinions on how well done the show is. I remember reading some comments of yours about Claire and it led me to believe that you trust the storytelling whereas I really do not (for too many reasons to explain here). I think the writing is messy (not bad), the pacing is actually kind of awful, and the story has structural issues.

That being said, I understand that Carmy has a journey that he is on, Sydney too. I understand that it is supposed to be messy. I agree with you from a narrative perspective, all of what you’ve said makes sense but my issues stem from how that narrative is presented and not really the narrative itself. The show uses the same tactics over and over and over again. It makes it tedious at times and it suffers what is actually interesting (ie: the sydcarmy subplot and the growth of a lot of other characters etc etc). That’s what I mean by stomped out momentum.

Jeremy also said that the show was extended; that is very clear to me as an audience member. Though I wouldn’t use the word extended I’d say the show is being dragged out. It feels to me that they are stretching a story that they could have wrapped in like three seasons.



#story matters but I’d argue how you tell the story is of equal if not greater importance#sydcarmy

I’m kind of to the point where I’m completely abandoning cannon in favor of fannon. I haven’t finished season 4 and I really don’t want to. Like I have no urgency to do so at all.

(this is kind of lie. i wanna watch Goodbye all the way through,,the metas about it are really intriguing and i wanna analyze it for myself butttt I just don’t want to watch all the build up. :((((((((

got wine drunk last night, i showed my roommates the first two episodes of the Bear and according to them I kept pointing at Sydcarmy and saying “she gonna ride his face soon.” over and over until they got annoyed with me.

while this is incredibly embarrassing and a clear sign that i have read wayyy too many fics i am choosing to believe that l the Oracle of Delphi possessed me last night and made me recount a prophecy that is soon to come to pass in Season 5

I’m so sick of Carmy (Storer ! and whoever the fuck else is writing on the Bear) literally give us Sydcarmy or get the fuck out of our faces. These little lame as glances at each other and tiny little baby ass moments…The slow burn has burnt up. I’m sick of it. Piss or get off the pot.

I wanna see Sydney loved out loud, so much so that is deafening. If I don’t get that then fuck The Bear chile. I’m soooo over it.
