Darko’s Studio

🐻 They have a staff potluck after a good service goes well and bring tons of dishes, Carmy makes Mikey’s spaghetti and it gets him to try and tell one of his brother’s meandering stories. It’s the most animated he’s ever been with the most smiles they’ve ever seen from him. Now they do it twice a year.

🐻 Carmy starts saying ‘Yes Dear’ whenever he wants to fluster Sydney, so she’ll stop ‘nagging’ (I.e. running the restaurant) she quickly leaves the room whenever he does.

🐻 Sydney tried to start calling him ‘Bear’ to kinda establish a solid friendship start, but his brain automatically resets whenever she does. They’re booked on the line, but he’s red and stiff like a frozen tomato.

🐻 Whenever Carmy gets close to riled up, Richie and Marcus pretend they “can’t hear him from down there” and look over his head like he’s disappeared. “Carm? Where’d he go!” “I’m right fuckin’ here! >:(“

🐻 Tina put Carmy’s hair in pony tails while he slept in the office once.

No one tells him, they just snicker until he goes to the back and looks in the mirror. “Syd!” “It wasn’t me!”

🐻 Carmen gets sick once and he’s coughing all over the office until Sydney bans him and Sugar has to take him home.

• He feels like shit, like he’s stuck in the freezer all over again, useless and pathetic.

• The entire crew stop by his apartment bringing blankets (Tina and Ebra) Casserole (Sugar) Snacks (Marcus and Fak) Get Well Soon Card from Eva (Richie) Soup and Medicine (Sydney) and he no longer feels like shit.

🐻 The crew thinks it’s funny to burst into song hours before and after Service even when Carmy is in a bad mood. If he snaps, they’ll just sing quieter or “stupider” until he starts laughing.

🐻 Sydney makes ALOT of TikTok and Vine references until Carmy starts to get them. Richie will never get them.

S: “Who that lady over there… in the chair?”

C: “… WHAT FUCKING LADY??”

R: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO SAYING!?”

🐻 Sydney boops Carmy’s nose whenever he starts getting smart w her.

“This is what you asked for so I’m giving it to you—!”

S: 🫵🏾👃🏻!! “Boop!”

C: “…. •\\J\\•”

🐻 Carmy is never beating the “Bear” allegations. So much so, Sydney begins to genuinely think he’s secretly a bear, when they start dating. He’s but a cuddler as much as he is a huge snoring weighted blanket that’s impossible to move. He snores like a bear, he gets grumpy as it gets hotter like a bear, and he starts asking her to scratch his back and play in his hair…

“Are you… are you a bear?”

“…My whole family’s the Bears. You know this.”

“No, are… are you secretly a grizzly bear.”

“Fuck off.”

🐻 Sydney bites Carmy because of her cuteness aggression, Carmy’s reaction to Sydney’s adorable face is just staring with that dopey look on his face at first, then he starts kissing her whenever she’s being cute.

Yes that includes when she’s yelling at him and her cheeks puff up and her lips start moving so fast her teeth make her lisp, yes he kisses her then too. And yes she attacks him.
