CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

[studentofetherium]

if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

when james baldwin said “you think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. it was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” I felt that big, big time

Sydney's search for connection.

The more I rewatch The Bear I can't tell if I'm overthinking or if this show is so layered it's near perfection.

I love the themes of mothers, nourishment, generational trauma, loss, showing up for people, caring for people, mental health. I could carry on...

But I love this small moment in 2x03 Sundae and its theme surrounding mothers, loss, and needing others. We're told that Syd wants to make up for a failed business throughout the show but beneath that is another longing.

This scene tells me about Syd's need for connection. But being with people requires vulnerability which is one of Syd's struggles.

Based on what the show tells us, Syd doesn't have the best experience being vulnerable with others. There are always awkward but funny moments when Syd connects with people.

Since she's experienced loss at such a young age, it's almost foreign to her to empathize, not that she cant empathize she just doesn't express it properly. The first moment in 1x02 when she awkwardly apologizes to Richie about Mikey's death. The second moment in 2x02 Pasta is when she says to Marcus, "It was just a hat?"

A third moment dismisses Carmy's empathy for her mother's passing. Syd's lesson is that being surrounded by people is sharing a loss together. I'm sure in season 3 with Marcus' mom's passing, this is her chance to be there for someone.

We won't always have the most rewarding experience with people but we have to keep trying.

We can't blame Syd for such awkwardness. She's an only child and alone is a safety net. The opposite of having a psychopath behind her yelling, pushing, screaming...

But the safety of being alone fails and she's back to working with people again. This time she works for Carmy. It's a risk but she has ambition and urgency. To erase a past failure. To change the pattern. Because being surrounded by people can make her successful- it fills a void.

What I love about Sydney is that there's more of an awareness. She's aware she has to change a pattern, and be part of a team. Sydney tells her dad in 2x02 that she's at a different place, not alone, in his house. She has a partner. Sydney has a chance to be vulnerable with Carmy and, despite its challenges, she is willing to do so.

But like Carmy, her mental health isn't the best. As the show progresses and what 2x10 gave us I hope we dive deeper into Sydney's head.

[gingerylangylang1979-deactivate]

This really hits hard for me. Carmy’s story with Mikey and now Syd’s story with her mom parallel my own. My mom was an addict, we were estranged when she died, I moved away, I didn’t go to the funeral. And now we now for sure Donna was an alcoholic with mental health issues. So he has mom, dad, and brother issues. 

Now learning that Syd lost her mom young ties me to her story even deeper. My mom was lost to addiction way before she died, so I felt motherless as a young girl. I was raised by a struggling single father. So many people have absent fathers but absent moms aren’t spoken about as much. And a girl missing out on a mom, especially a black girl missing out on a black mom, is a special kind of trauma few can understand. This informs so much about Sydney. Some people thought how she reacted to Mikey’s hat was cruel. But death is something she experienced so young, she doesn’t react normally, she doesn’t know how to process when others are grieving. How can she when she didn’t have a “normal” grief experience? I’m the same. When others speak about their loss I avoid it and can’t fully connect with it or have proper sympathy.

the bear s2 e6 was like what if we made 1 hour 4 minutes 59 seconds of television that was so scary to look at just by the sheer amount of mental illness and family trauma that's being displayed
