Everyday I Think About How Chris Storer Wrote Sydcarmy; One Of The Most Achingly Beautiful Love Stories

Why would you do this to me rn

thinking about lucy gray saying, "the song's not over until the mockingjay sings," and rue's very last word being to katniss and it being a simple, haunting "sing."

Stop arguing about who the most toxic character in Supernatural is, they’re all a little toxic that’s what makes it fun.

All of the other gods:

“Excuse me he asked for no pickles”

A comprehensive list as to why I think Carmy x Claire shouldn’t be together:

It took Carmy a good 10 seconds to remember Claire’s name at the store

Carmy originally gave her a fake number, so she hunted down Fak to get his real one

Claire had to make him repeat his real number to her even though he looked like he was fighting for his life to not hang up the phone

Their dates weren’t dates, they we’re running errands and not the sweet “I love doing mundane stuff with you kind” the “my cars not working so I need a ride kind”

When they attended the house party Carmy was clearly uncomfortable and quite literally pretended to be someone else the entire time (Logan)

Mikey and Richie pressuring Carmy about Claire in fishes even though he clearly just wants them stop and let it go

THE PANIC ATTACK SCENE, Carmy trying to his damndest to picture Claire to help himself calm down but it’s not working and the moment he pictures Syd he can breathe again

They had brief crush on each other in high school and nothing more, they were never close friends if anything Mikey and Richie seemed closer to Claire than Carmy ever was. Their conversation in the car backs this up because Claire talks about knowing and thinking Mikey was cool, but not a lot about Carmy

Every time Carmy was asked if Claire is his girlfriend he couldn’t answer, he even has to ask Fak if Claire is his girlfriend

Not to make this about SydCarmy but to make this about SydCarmy he does all these intimate things with Syd (i.e. the table scene, the monogrammed jacket, you deserve my full focus, opening an entire restaurant with her) but he can’t even bring himself to call Claire his girlfriend

There was no point where Carmy showed any interest at starting or being in a relationship with Claire it was all forced by someone else (i.e. Giving Claire a fake number, Fak giving Claire his real number, Richie and Mikey pressuring him in fishes, Richie and Fak pressuring him even now, only calling Claire his gf after someone told him that’s what she’s supposed to be, hanging out with her only when he runs errands and needs a ride, having to be reminded to invite her to family and friends night)

Their entire relationship felt like an obligation (specifically to Mikey) from Carmy’s part, he never pursued it and never put as much work into it as Claire did

The obvious indications that Claire represents Carmy’s past while Syd represents his future

Claire telling Carmy she loves him for the first time via voicemail after only dating for a few weeks

Carmy unintentionally breaking up with Claire whilst locked in a fridge

I have to give props to the boys for seeing their mistake and almost immediately fixing it, but it’s also hilarious that this how they learned poor people do in fact exist.

I can’t do this rn

When Carmy had that meltdown/crisis and he was literally in the verge of tears in the walk-in, he smiled when he saw the fennel and the radicchio because they reminded him of Syd 🥲

FX please stop playing with my emotions I’m not strong enough for this

“Carmy has too much baggage and Sydney deserves better than that” is such wild take because you’re essentially just saying that “this person has trauma therefore they aren’t good enough to be loved” and that’s such a fucked up ideology because everyone has and/or has had their own issues but that doesn’t make them unworthy of love. A big part of relationships is the understanding that your partner may have trauma/issues but it will never make them any less worthy of being loved. That’s why sydcarmy is so beautiful, because they see all of each others flaws, issues, and trauma and they love each other regardless
