carmy provides sydney with a platform where she can be her softest, most vulnerable self, and when she is soft and vulnerable with him, he listens carefully and grounds her and assures her, supporting her and in turn providing her with the confidence she needs to keep going🤕🤕

#SYDCARMY
high school smau
in which sydney and carmy have been best friends their whole lives, and it’s only when syd runs for class president that everything starts to change.
carmys family being condescending and looking down on him for his achievements vs sydney being the first person to really acknowledge them with admiration, respect, and understanding :((( and then those words being the same ones that calm him from his panic attack
ships that have their first encounter on screen or even better get a flashback episode where you see how they met or find out something new about that first interaction >>>>>>
whats so jarring about this scene is we have literally never seen them act like this before. they reserve a private side of themselves solely for each other that no one — not even the audience — has fully seen yet (prob because they didnt even really have it before each other)
sydney learning to respect carmy’s boundaries and carmy learning how to set boundaries… then sydney gaining more of a voice and carmy learning to listen and let her in.. their growth🥹🥹🫶🏽🫶🏽
ppl mad in the quotes yall are very stupid people this is a COMEDIC account that EXAGGERATES for COMEDIC EFFECT aint no way yall are on twitter and have never seen an incorrect quotes account before
sydcarmy missing each other… them both bringing the other up themselves and then smiling sadly and reminiscently and then going quiet for a minute :((((
sydney’s 3 of swords tattoo (representing heartbreak and betrayal) being revealed right before clairecarmy kiss / sydney overall being sandwiched in the girlfriend montage (not so much claire taking up space but more so the results of claire taking up too much space)
the “unseen carmy tattoo” in question being a tattoo that says “certain of nothing” (reference to bourdain) with “submit” near the head in a mirrored place to sydneys shoulder tattoo YALL…
carmy helping claire’s mom move / standing sydney up on their food tour (where they were supposed to go to kasama, meaning “together” run by a married couple. how ironic!)
crazy how carmy is miles more emotionally intimate with sydney than fak but still considers fak his best friend😭 if sydney isn’t your best friend then what is she to you, carmen anthony???
and you can tell her understanding really means a lot to him because she doesn’t just acknowledge his achievements but she also understands his trauma and actively, respectfully listens when he opens up, which causes him to be much more vulnerable with her
like im annoying as hell about it. song selection is important. its a song that was specifically established as romantic. when he panics over claire it plays with only “i don’t know” being clear, then it returns to normal when he thinks of syd with “you will be mine” flourishing.
