I think Syd and Carmy would be that couple who take in a stray cat and name it Fennel.

fan fiction ideaaaaaaaaaa! ❤️
Shadowsan has to trust chief with his life during a caper, and Carmen knows that it’s like the only way to save some sort of artifact or something like that, but she doesn’t trust chief whatsoever, due to the trauma that cheif did kill Carmen’s biological father, so Carm is like super scared and worried for Dadowsan.
I just thought it was a good idea, something that could be used later on for you, but it’s like your choice if you actually want chief to make a mistake and then something happens to shadowsan, and then Carmen is like super pissed…….like dangerously pissed………but it’s totally up to you if you want to make it a happy ending or a sad ending lol 😘😘😘
your amazing and tysm for all you do for this fandom, your pretty awesome and I see ur stuff all the time, you are a writing genius pretty much lolll ❤️
Omg stop it, I'll cry right now-- that was such a kind thing to say about my writing. It really made my day ❤️
Anyways, here ya go! It's not very long and I'm not sure it's quite what you had in mind, but I'm happy with it. This takes place post series.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She was a light stepper, but that's never meant much to him. He raised her from infancy; he knew her presence well.
"Are you going to lurk there all day," he asked, "Or are you going to say hello?"
He turned around, abandoning the task of polishing his newly--and legally-- acquired swords. Carmen glanced at him wordlessly, contributing nothing. She was sullen as stared down at the hotel room's desk, absently running her fingers along the surface. Her lips were slightly pursed and her eyebrows were drawn. He recognized the look well, and seeing it, he may as well have been picked up by the scruff and placed back in time twelve years.
Black Sheep had never been much of a reticent child, but when she wanted something she knew they wouldn't allow, she took her time to work up the will to ask. She would become silent and broody, and Shadowsan always found it amusing how transparent children could be.
"Is there something you want?"
She glared down at the desk, fingers drawing still. He folded his hands behind his back as he waited on her.
"...Let me come with you." She said.
"No."
"Shadowsan."
"You are in no condition," He said, nodding to her arm in a cast. "How did that even happen?"
"I don't want to talk about it." She muttered.
He hummed and made a mental note to ask Player about it later.
"I thought you were out of the game," She said, "What changed?"
He looked at her, eyebrows raised. "I could ask the same of you. Why are you here, Carmen?"
She snorted. "I'm only partly retired. You know I can't sit still."
He considered this. He nodded.
"Point."
"Why are you doing this, Shadowsan? What happened to living a normal life?"
"This operation hits close to home. Various museums around the country have been the targets of often violent robberies. ACME Intel indicates that Matsumoto could be next."
"'Could be,' huh? Give me and Player two hours and we'll get you definite answers."
He frowned at her, eyes narrowing.
"What is this about, child?"
"I'm not a child." She muttered.
He rolled his eyes. "Forgive an old man for his habits."
She turned away from him.
"Carmen."
She stared at the floor, shoulders held stiffly with tension.
He pressed again. "What is bothering you?"
She huffed. "It's just..."
She trailed off, her fists clenching as she spun back around.
"...Why do you have to work with her?!"
He blinked, somewhat taken aback. That's what this was about? She'd come all the way to Japan just to plead with him against working with ACME's chief...? He thought her issue with the Chief had been long resolved, was there something he was missing?
"I mean, what's it even about? Chief doesn't do field work! That's weird! And why couldn't you have partnered with literally anyone else? Fuck! You, Zack, and Ivy have tons of experience working together. You could have worked with Jules, or Devineaux, or even Zari! I don't trust it."
He grunted. "I would not work with that French idiot even if my life depended on it."
"Why her?"
He hummed. "I imagine it has to do with me being ex-VILE. It would make sense if she wanted to make sure of my allegiances herself."
"That's ridiculous. She has both Zack and Ivy's word. If she trusts them then she should trust you."
"ACME's chief is a cautious woman."
"Oh, really. Wasn't very cautious of her when she pulled a gun on my father."
Oh.
Okay. He understood now.
"Are you worried she's going to..?"
She hugged herself, suddenly looking very unsure of herself.
"No... Yes. Maybe... I don't know. Just let me come with you..?"
He sighed heavily and approached her. He put a hand on her shoulder and waited for her to look at him.
"I will be fine," He assured her, "I've been in and out of this game for a long time. Even if she does try anything-- which I know she won't-- I am perfectly capable of defending myself."
"I know, but--"
"--Have you been doing okay?"
"...What?"
"Have you been doing okay? You know I am happy to have you here, but I must admit that I'm worried about you. You flew all the way here, and for what? To accuse a woman you yourself have worked with of plotting something insidious? It's uncharitable, and I hate to say it, but incredibly irrational."
She pulled away from him.
"I'm fine." She insisted, "God, you and Player sound exactly alike."
"Player is an intelligent young man."
She rolled her eyes. "Alright, fine, whatever. Maybe I'm being unfair, but you'll have to excuse me if I trust a little less after all the shit I've been through."
She swallowed harshly and swiped at her eyes. He watched her silently, a dull ache in his throat and a stabbing desire in his heart to vanish anything that troubled her.
"Perhaps I should move closer to you, I--"
"What? No. Shadowsan, that's-- No. You're finally back with your brother, you don't have to--"
"--I don't have a responsibility to Hideo, Carmen. You're like a daughter to me, and if you're struggling--"
"--I'm not struggling."
"It's okay if you are."
"Well, I'm not. And it's fine. I have Player. You don't have to uproot your entire life for me."
He smiled ruefully. Of course she wouldn't understand, it wasn't her job to.
Back in the beginning, years and years ago, he'd never been one to care much about anything. Life had not been kind to him, and so he was not kind to others. But it was in those early days, the first few sleepless nights before the nannies showed up, that he found himself actually concerned about somebody else. Holding the child, wishing desperately that she would just go the fuck to sleep, he came to reckon with his role in her life. He had, completely and irrevocably, changed the course of her entire life. She was his responsibility, and it wasn't about him anymore. Anything he'd ever do would have to be for her. This was the burden he shouldered.
(he'd choose this burden time and time again.)
"I uprooted your entire life, are you sure you don't want to return the favor?"
She snorted, a small smile that she tried to fight gracing her lips.
"I want you to reconnect with your brother."
"And I want to make sure you're happy."
"I am happy, Shadowsan. I just... have a lot going on." Her voice sort of hitched at the end, and ouch. It pained him to see her like this.
She shuffled closer to him and he recognized the action for what it was. Even as a child, she could never bring herself to ask for affection. She'd just kind of follow you around and stare up at you and wait until you got the message. The other three never quite caught on-- or, they did, and they opted to ignore her. Then there was Coach Brunt, and that was just... Ugh.
Understanding her need, he took her and held her close. She threw her arms around him, burying her face in his shoulder.
"I've just been so... weird lately."
"It's understandable after all you've been through."
"I can barely relax."
He had no good response to that. He pet her hair instead.
"I don't want to lose you."
"I know."
"...I um. You know that I love you, right?"
He smiled softly, quiet content spreading warm in his chest. He kissed the crown of her head.
"I know. I love you too."o

Another episode that hurts me in the context of season 1's last episode! This is about Carmen's reactions regarding Coach Brunt in The fishy doubloon caper.
First, and maybe the biggest thing, the scene in the medical tent after Carmen passed out from lack of oxygen.
The way Carmen 1) awakens, notices someone tending to her, and immediately imagines it's Coach Brunt and 2) looks relieved and grateful to have her.
Tumblr media
[Image description : a screenshot of season 1 episode 4 of the 2019 Carmen Sandiego show, The fishy doubloon caper. Carmen opens her eyes and sees who she thinks is Coach Brunt taking care of her after she passed out due to lack of oxygen. Her face is neutral. /End description]
Her look when she says "you", even the way she says it - surprised, maybe, but not afraid.
Carmen is in a very vulnerable position right now, alone and weak. And when she thinks one of the people tracking her down is with her, she seems happy. Because it's her mother figure.
Tumblr media
[Image description : a screenshot of season 1 episode 4 of the 2019 Carmen Sandiego show, The fishy doubloon caper. Carmen talks with a smile about how Coach Brunt found her in Argentina as a baby. /End description]
"I always knew it was you."
Sure, the lack of oxygen can explain why she's not reacting too strongly, but still. She doesn't even look worried.
Next, the very end of the episode, while saying goodbye to Dr Pilar Marquez.
Below, her face when Pilar tells Carmen she "mistook [Pilar] for someone close to [Carmen]" :
Tumblr media
[Image description : a screenshot of season 1 episode 4 of the 2019 Carmen Sandiego show, The fishy doubloon caper. Carmen looks upset. /End description]
Carmen says "a link to my past. We went our separate ways". Of course, she's not going to explain the whole messy story to a stranger, but still. This a pretty nice way to say "my mother figure who raised me goes against everything I fight for today and I indirectly fight her every two days".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image description : two screenshots of season 1 episode 4 of the 2019 Carmen Sandiego show, The fishy doubloon caper. In the first one, Carmen looks to the side with a small, slightly regretful smile, saying "a link to my past". In the second one, Carmen looks at the offscreen Dr Pilar Marquez with the same smile, saying "we went our separate ways". /End description]
Carmen does not seem angry, bitter, or fearful. Her expressions are of sadness and fondness. She still thinks fondly of Coach Brunt at this point, even though she knows they're on opposite sides. She still somewhat trusts her not to hurt her, at least subconsciously (see the tent scene).
...which is why the season 1 finale is so horrifying.

Brain really said "Scara hyperfixation, eat shit" and now I'm thinking abt genshin Carmen & Wanderer.
They've never even met him when he was Scaramouche, and Irminsul wipin' out his existence/memory (or however it works I can't word it right rn) only solidifies that.
I don't even know how they'd meet- doubt he'd ever willingly go back to Inazuma, and vae'd most likely not end up in Sumeru.. but who knows. Probably baffles the poor fucker (/aff) with how kind they are to him once they warm up to 'em- 'cus y'know. Social anxiety's a dick and 'this guy looks both approachable and intimidating as shit what if I fuck up aaaaaaAAAAA-'
I think he knows how to sew?? Not sure if it's canon or a widely-accepted headcanon, but that. Wisp would eat that shit up. Next time the two run into each other they give him a li'l cat doll they sewed. Grows from there.
some similarities anyway (in some ways)
nonhuman
probably technically a few hundred years old (carmen is& it somehow stuck in my head Scara's like 500-something technically)
does it count to say scara has religious trauma via his mother ? bc if so. religious trauma (though carm's isn't as severe)
general closeness with an archon (Venti & Nahida respectively)
vulnerability who's that never heard of them hahaaaa
🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ (dying on hill that transmasc scara. Transmasc Scara.)
a little silly in the head (again not as severe but carm's social anxiety / depression / whatever other shit there is ; & then only recently I've seen the BPD stuff w/ Scara so that too plus whatever else stems from his trauma)
like idk it's interesting at least right now it is- I'll see how long this sudden fixation on the puppet lasts

alright don giovanni seminar was a clusterfuck but i now have a one-week met opera on demand free trial and need recommendations for like two more operas before it runs out
my top recommendations are 2007 il barbiere di siviglia and 2014 le nozze di figaro. i have yet to meet someone who's seen these and didn't enjoy them
after that if you have time i recommend eugene onegin, giulio cesare, and la traviata. i think the met productions of these are all pretty solid and i enjoyed watching them

solar vine / impulse beans for uhhh you decide >:3
for midori :]
solar vine:
me and midori's morning routine is pretty simple. he is already awake, due to not needing sleep. sometimes he charges at night but it depends. nonetheless he will sometimes wake me with coffee or breakfast i will eat/drink it only to spit it out discreetly as it is poisoned and also not very good otherwise. he will display an inhuman grin as he knows ive done this but politely wont point it out. either way im awake now and will make breakfast for shin if he stayed over if not i get ready for work and midori does the same
impulse beans:
my [carmen's] love language is gift giving, midori shows his love in my language by giving many heartfelt gifts [his original human hands]. midori's love language is quality time, i show this by stalking him at work 👍
