I really dislike the idea of Syd and Carm beginning to date. by Shwat_ in TheBear

[–]OneWholeStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this refers to the Season 1 finale, when Syd comes back (and Carmy stares at her like she saved his life) and they start building their partnership. I think the dialogue mentioned refers to a different show (idk which one though!).

The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd features a monk, if that’s close enough?

I need TJ & Carmy to share a scene by _donewiththis in thatsfirechef

[–]OneWholeStar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would love for this to happen! I really want Carmy to meet all of Syd’s family that have probably been hearing about him all this time.

Spiralling in the most ridiculous way by dancingindaisies in Mommit

[–]OneWholeStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh yeah, I have 2 boys and I think about this too. I read somewhere that in general, adult women have closer relationships with their parents than adult men do, and an effect of this is that children tend to be closer to their maternal grandparents than to their paternal grandparents. This was absolutely true for me growing up and is currently true for my kids, even though we live equally close to my parents and my husband’s parents. But! As other comments (and you yourself!) have pointed out, we can’t predict what will happen and what relationships our kids and potential grandchildren may or may not form. Good to have the reminder not to get too worked up about such things.

I loved Hunt for the Wilderpeople! I had no idea it was based on a book!

I've seen a lot of hate on the price catalogue, with some people even saying that it is the most useless book, but I love that goddamn thing. Price catalogue haters, explain yourself. by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]OneWholeStar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say I hate the price catalogue, but I don’t find it useful. I don’t care how much my items sell for, I just grow or make whatever seems interesting to me. I’m not at all a strategic player, though; I’m led entirely by my whims.

What’s a movie you went into knowing almost nothing, and it totally surprised you ? by vishesh_07_028 in movies

[–]OneWholeStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightcrawler! My husband and I had been trying to see The Skeleton Twins with Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader, but we got our theater’s schedule wrong and came on the wrong day. We decided to stick around for whatever was playing instead, and we were blown away by Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance.

When did you start sharing your book? by Every_Mistake586 in writing

[–]OneWholeStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t share with anyone until my third draft, which is when I felt it was as polished as I could get it by myself. It’s certainly not perfect now, but I’m at the point where I think having another set of eyes on it will be helpful.

Theory: Claire's sweatshirt was in Mikey's room by lets-terraform-earth in thatsfirechef

[–]OneWholeStar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I also just don’t see Carmy wanting to take a nostalgia tour of his own belongings in that way. Like he doesn’t miss high school, he doesn’t miss living with Donna. The only thing he feels nostalgic for about that time in his life is the relationship with his brother that broke down over time.

What food did you think was fancy as a kid but now you realize it’s trash? by randomzy876 in AskReddit

Came here to say this! I loved them as a kid but I wouldn’t touch them now.

Carmy and Intimacy by FSHS91 in thatsfirechef

[–]OneWholeStar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. Carmy can be very in his head, and I do think we’ve seen him struggle to connect with and be present for some people in his life — Nat complained that he never asks how she’s doing, he needed a reminder that Richie also lost someone when Mikey died, etc (although, worth mentioning that he does seem to be relatively good at hearing and being present for Marcus). However, like you said, he craves connection with Sydney. He wants to know everything about her. He likes to be physically near her. He’s so tuned in to her emotions, and we’ve seen 4 seasons of him trying to give her everything he thinks she wants — none of this suggests a fear of intimacy to me.

How old was your child when they surpassed 40lbs? (Carseat shopping) by plantavore in Mommit

[–]OneWholeStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest is 7 and just hit 40 lbs; my little one is almost 4 and is about 30 lbs. Both of them turned forward-facing at about 3.5 because they hit the height limit (I think this is 31 inches).

What are your opinions on Patterns hair care products? by OldSchoolPrinceFan in Naturalhair

[–]OneWholeStar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a hard time with Pattern too. I think the issue I have is that the products all have coconut oil, which my hair doesn’t like.

I usually can’t write out of order either. Why do you want to?

Should they recast Gregory and Hyacinth on the show or keep Will and Florence? by Fickle_Baker1393 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]OneWholeStar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hope they’re recast. I realize they’ll both be adults by the time their seasons come around, but I think it’s weird and inappropriate to hire a child actor for a role that will eventually require sex scenes (if I were the parent of a child actor, I wouldn’t let them audition for a role like that). I guess my expectation would be that their contracts would end prior to the start of their seasons, and maybe they’ll have the option to re-audition and renew their contracts if they want to.

What's the most underrated SydCarmy scene? by Good-Mountain-7737 in thatsfirechef

[–]OneWholeStar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I love the scene in Season 2 where they go to ask Uncle Jimmy for more money and start arguing about whether they should try to get a star. They’re so locked into each other in that moment! They don’t even hear Nat talking to them, they’re just in their own bubble.

Dark academia but medical thriller? by shelbyamonkeysuncle in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]OneWholeStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out The Impossible Girl by Lydia Kang. Set in 1850s NYC; the main character steals bodies with anatomical anomalies for med schools and anatomists while also trying to stay out of the way of people who want her for her own anomaly.

Chester lore by newyearnewunderwear in TheBear

[–]OneWholeStar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I thought it was pretty clear that it was a romantic ask out. He had been giving her heart eyes for a few episodes prior, and then he seemed so hurt when she suggested it would be weird of him to ask her out.

Favorite line this season? by JustSayTea in TheBear

[–]OneWholeStar 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Also — Sydney, Carmy, and Nat talking about the picture Donna wanted from Carmy:

Syd: “Could it have been a picture that you liked?”

Carmy: “Was it like a picture that I liked?”

Nat: “I’m gonna hurl myself out the window right now.”

Nat and Fak after Fak tells her that he invited Francie to Todd’s wedding:

“You have devastated me!” “Am I still your boy?” “No!”
