I just think Carmy going from “I’ll never leave you alone again” to “I’m leaving the restaurant” is a little fucking crazy 😭. (It’s actually not that crazy it seems he’s following the same patterns of running away when things are too good)

(The exact interaction is this: C: I left you alone. S: so… don’t let it happen again. C: it’s never gonna happen again.)

i think a lot of comfortable liberals, esp in the imperial core, balk at the critical analyses of politically conscious people because they are genuinely fearful to grasp the degree of mundane cruelty necessary to fuel the current ruling order. it offends their sensibilities. it is disturbing and it disturbs. it would require grappling with the reality that they benefit from it, and it would require active effort to try to comprehend the genuinely incomprehensible level of bloodshed which maintains the status quo. when, for examples, liberals ask such questions as "well, during 'the revolution,' what about how [x tokenized demographic who is vulnerable] will be harmed?", they do so because they refuse to accept the reality of the mundane and normalized level of violence essential to the state of affairs.

the reality that must be contended with (and, certainly, the unignorable, compulsory reality for the vast majority of the peoples of the world) is that the state of affairs is saturated with more blood than anybody in their single lives could possibly wrap their head around. comfortable liberals seem to want to believe the world is, on some level, good, or at least neutral. undoubtedly there are good things in this world, but that is true in such a trivial sense, like saying "the sun will rise the next day," that it amounts to nothing more than trite aphorism in the face of unimaginable cruelty.

the gears of this system are oiled with more blood than we will ever know. genocide and devastation and war and extraction and exploitation and slavery and humiliation are the norms of this system. this system innovates the most imaginative cruelties in service of shaving fractions of pennies off of costs to elevate profits and consolidate capital. to have any kind of real, or, genuinely, even optimistic understanding of the world requires contending with this reality of status quo.

Said this in a reblog of @melfinawins post but also now making into a post cuz it needs to be reiterated going into s3.

As I’m doing my umteenth rewatch before s3, it’s clearer every time that Syd as a character is allowed no grace for her flaws, whereas the incels constantly worship Carmy and Richie regardless of their flaws. They overlook Carmy leaving the cigarettes next to the stove, Richie’s unsanitary proxy job, Carmy starting the brigade and dumping everything on Sydney, the way Richie is literally an asshole to everyone and super microagressive to Sydney, Carmy’s toddler level meltdown during the to go mess. No, allll of that is understandable because they are the (yt men) heroes of the story. But god forbid Syd have a vision for making the restaurant thrive, “Syd is overbearing and overstepping.” Syd doesn’t let Richie get away with being an asshole and defends herself, “Sydney is a b*tch constantly putting Richie down.” Sydney quits after Carmy lets the kitchen devolve into a toxic hellhole following an honest mistake, “Sydney is a POS that leaves everyone hanging after her unforgivable f*ck up.” Yall are EXHAUSTING. Let Syd exist and allow grace for her character flaws the same way yall do for Carmy and Richie.

I know it’s probably not gonna happen but it would be so wonderful to have a scene in Season 3 with Syd and Carmy shopping at the store together for some new menu idea, and to see Carmy be absolutely infuriating.

(ie: They’re stopped in the spice aisle for twenty whole minutes bickering. Carmy is crouched down looking at something expensive. Sydney is looking at him like he’s crazy. “Carmy. Carm. We do not need a spice that costs twenty whole dollars.” He looks up at her: wide eyed, brows furrowed. He’s taking this search too seriously: “We need quality, Syd.”)

Went out and bought the vanity fair issue that has Ayo on the cover, truly an innocent act I saw it and was just like woah! And bought it. But now I can’t stop thinking the phrase “which could mean nothing” over and over again in my little pea brain, that author is EVIL

The Interview with a Vampire show… I’ve read most of the books already… I smell a new obsession on the horizon.

[stinkybrainquincy]

I just think that is pretty interesting that most of the Claire shots we see in the trailer she’s being told by other people what Carmy feels, and the one time we see her alone she’s surrounded in that creeping blue light again!
