moodboard: carson x max

[carson-chapman]

Carson Shaw who had one best friend growing up and thought that’s all love needed to survive. Carson Shaw who we never learned her maiden name but we know that she was given a unisex name. Carson Shaw who was told that the only good thing that she could contribute was a pie. Carson Shaw who brought a pie to church every Sunday because she didn’t have kids to show so she had to do “something right”.

She started making pies after her mother left, it was the only thing that she remembered about her mother. The one thing that her mother liked and her father loved. She wanted to be connected, even if her older sister Megan thought she was beating a dead horse. Holding onto a ghost. But Carson could do it. Pies can start a conversation. Pie and coffee is even better. They show skill, some version of “homemaking”, that she’s capable of “wifely duties”.

Carson Shaw who runs to baseball, forgets her pies, leaves her duties. Carson Shaw who is in foreign territory and has no one to lean on, not even her annoyed sister who is one of the last people she has. Carson Shaw who tries to bake for Dove Porter because that’s how people give her attention and she’s good at it. Love, attention, care and conversation through food. Carson Shaw who’s always been made fun off, who continues to get made fun of by the people close to her and her coping skills.

Carson Shaw who brought a pie to Max Chapman and she wasn’t ridiculed. Max Chapman who had been asking the universe for a pie since the pilot episode, because it shows good manners. Max Chapman who gave her the time and conversation. Who didn’t make fun of her. Who recognized and appreciated the gesture. It worked. Carson Shaw, who never seen her coping pies work before, but it worked on Max Chapman. It worked with her soulmate and maybe that’s enough.
