Carmy Berzatto - Blog Posts

Headcanon that because there’s fanfiction about famous chefs, there’s probably fanfiction about Carmen Berzatto in The Bear universe and Syd accidentally stumbled upon it at some point while looking up something about Carmy and read it. She went down a rabbit hole of Carmen Berzatto fanfic and now she has the embarrassing secret that she’s read multiple Carmy fanfics and now they own/run a restaurant together

June is not close enough I need season 3 tomorrow

Sometimes I remember that no one in Carmy’s family ever really acknowledged all of his work as a Chef (except for Pete/Nat and that one cousin) and every thing it took for him to earn all of those accolades. They all seemed more upset that he left home rather than being proud of his success in his field. So when Syd came along, full of adoration for Carmy, his craft and all of the hard work he put into it, that must’ve been absolutely jarring for Carmy. Especially when she defended him against Richie when he called Carmy’s experiences in all of the different restaurants he worked in around the world stupid. imagine working in a field as thankless as culinary, working in multiple different restaurants around the world, receiving many awards, giving everything you have, being torn down every single day by your god awful boss telling you you’re not good enough and a million other terrible things, only to go home and be shamed for pursuing your passion and not even receiving an ‘I’m proud of you” or a “good job”. Until one person comes along and she admires you so deeply, she knows you as “the best CDC in the best restaurant in all of the U.S.”, and you made her the best meal she’s ever had. And all of the sudden for the first time in your life someone recognizes all of your hard work, all of your accomplishments, they acknowledge all of your successes in a way no one else really has, and they see you. This is what Syd did for Carmy, she saw every part of him, including all of his work as a chef when nobody else did and that shit makes me cry every time I remember it.

Can’t wait for Sydcarmy to have several incredibly intimate scenes that can only be explained as romantic in s3, so the antis can get mad and Chris Storer can gaslights us

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 🥲

This is an actual conversation they’ve had before

A scene in The Bear that never fails to fuck me up is the scene in the finale where Carmy gets locked in the fridge and Tina is talking to him and she’s being so gentle with him and calls him baby and then you remember how much she loved Mikey and how much she loves Carmy and how she’s probably even more protective over Carmy after what happened with Mikey and how she’s probably terrified of losing Carmy just like she did Mikey and she was there talking to Carmy while he was locked in the fridge and Donna couldn’t even step foot in to the building and and and an-

I finally drew them

The parallels THE PARALLELS

(C’est pas grave translates to it’s not serious/it doesn’t matter)

I think what they mean is, when you find someone you love, it feels like hope-Hot Preist, Flea Bag

Should’ve taken the hint when he gave you a fake phone number

“And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.” - John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Idk if this makes any sense, but to me it’s about Carmy letting go of needing to be perfect for everyone else and learning to simply be himself and the transformation of the beef to the bear being a representation of him letting go of the version of himself he created for everyone else (the beef) and becoming who he truly is (the bear), therefore letting go of the need to perfect and becoming good

Something interesting that I’ve noticed is that Natalie is one of the only people who hasn’t given her thoughts on Carmy and Claire together. We’ve seen most of the people in Carms life give positive reactions and approval to Carmy and Claire, going as far as trying to push Carmy towards Claire i.e the Christmas ep with Mikey and Richie trying to antagonize him about seeing her and Fak willingly giving up his number. Nat’s one of the few people who hasn’t given their insight on Carmy and Claire’s relationship as a whole, besides being somewhat glad he’s socializing with someone outside of the restaurant. I’m hoping this leads to them having a conversation in s3 where they talk about whether he’s truly happy with Claire and Nat being the only person who can see that he’s not. I feel as though Carmy and Syd share a similar relationship to Nat and Pete, Syd and Pete being the one person who isn’t tied to their past, the ones who see all of their damage and want them anyways. And I think Nat sees this too, that Syd is to Carmy as Pete is to Nat. I hope she tells him to do what makes him happy and be with someone who makes him happy and not the person everybody thinks he should be with.

I love him but it’s true

Claire remembering Carmy’s nickname and knowing exactly what he was going to name the restaurant and Carmy not even remembering her name is top tier unintentional comedy

Does anybody have any good Sydcarmy childhood friends to lovers fic recommendations?

More Sydcarmy because they have me in a chokehold

So I’ve seen a lot of speculation that Carmy is going to die at the end of The Bear and tbh, I kinda hate that theory. I get that it may seem plausible with Carmy’s current character arc but I feel like it would be redundant with Mikey’s death (and possibly Marcus’ mother dying). It would also diminish one of The Bears biggest underlying themes, hope. The idea that there is life after death and that you can find happiness and love after everything you’ve been through. Mikey dying, Carmy escaping the confines of fine dining and returning home to run The Beef, to finding his very own found family, to meeting Sydney, to opening The Bear, and to hopefully embark on a healing journey, all of that would mean nothing if Carmy died in the end. Mikey didn’t hide all of that money in all of those tomato cans and leave The Beef to Carmy only for him to end up with the same fate as his big brother. Carmy’s death would do nothing more than rob Natalie of another brother, take away the love of Syd’s life, destroy Richie all over again and leave The Bear with a very void and sad finale. Not every story has to end in tragedy and death, sometimes there can be happy endings too.

Me when I remember that Sydney was the first person to make Carmy smile and laugh

It has been brought to my attention that some of these are wrong and that Carmy is absolutely a male wife so I fixed it

I have no explanation for this

I think that introducing the word platonic into media really fucked people up because now people can’t tell the difference between something that’s platonic and something that can be read as platonic but is inherently romantic. Carmy and Syd aren’t platonic. They can be interpreted as platonic if that’s how you see it yourself, but they’re just not platonic. If your coworker/business partner is the one calming you down from an intense panic and you’re out here telling them that you couldn’t do this without them, that you wouldn’t even want to do it without them and that they make you better at this and not your girlfriend who you won’t even call your girlfriend then I hate to break to you that’s not platonic

I still don't get how ppl watch the panic attack scene and still don't get that sydcarmy is the endgame. LIKE IS MEDIA LITERACY DEAD. NO IT'S NOT EVEN MEDIA LITERARY! IT'S LITERALLY BASIC COMMON SENSE. BRO THINKS OF GIRLFRIEND TO CALM DOWN FROM PANIC ATTACK. IT DOESN'T WORK. THEN HE THINKS OF HIS FUCKING CO-WORKER AND SURPRISE SURPRISE! THE THOUGHT OF HER ACTUALLY HELPS HIM TO CALM DOWN?!?! LIKE HOW CAN YOU NOT PIECE THIS SHIT TGT? IK THIS SHOW TENDS TO BE SUBTLE WITH A LOT OF SHIT BUT WHAT THE WRITERS ARE TRYING TO CONVEY THROUGH THIS SCENE IS SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS?? LIKE ARE YOU CHOOSING TO BE DUMB?? ARE YOU CHOOSING TO BE STUPID??

I have no explanation for this

I won’t know peace until they’re canon

As much as I want to see a moment where Carmy meets Syds dad, I’d like to see a scene where Donna meets Syd. Ofc course Carmy would be terrified that Donna would have one of her freak outs so he’s freaking out, but instead she just glances at her and back at him and just asks “does she make you happy?” and he responds “yeah um, yeah she makes me really happy.” And she just smiles or walks away or something. Because I like to think that after Mikey, she just wants her kids to be happy and loved in the way she couldn’t.
