#game winning goal

[itslucyhenley]

the creators of Ted Lasso really said we’re going to make a football show using every rom-com trope and beat not about an actual romantic pairing but rather to tell a story about grown ups becoming better people through love, openness, mutual support, and therapy.

#they said fuck toxic masculinity #they said fuck toxic sports culture #they said fuck winning being the ultimate goal #we’re playing the game of life and being better is the only clear way through #ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers

i've seen people leaning heavily into the watcher lore say that scar's win was all orchestrated and endorsed by the watchers, that he's their favourite and they wanted him to win and now he can be theirs - but isn't it cooler, doesn't it make more sense if he won in spite of the watchers? they've been trying to fuck up all his plans the whole season, they've done their best to make everyone hate him, and he still came out with alliances at the end. they tried to make him a villain, and he succumbed and embraced it, but still showed goodness in the end when he refused to let pearl sacrifice herself - and that's why he won. not because he did what the watchers wanted him to, but because he went against the big plan and won all on his own merit. he didn't win because the watchers like him, he won because of his own quirks and strengths that he used to his favour. he won because he's scar and he doesn't follow the rules and is simply good enough at the game to win.

i don't know, i just. the idea of everything being under the watchers' control and there being no real free will in the series is an interesting one, but a) as many have mentioned, this is the season of defying curses and character development, and b) scar is not just a toy for the watchers to play with. he's a person and the reason why he won is not because grian or anyone else wanted him to, it's because he's bloody good.

#scar's win was not an accident #he won because he played the game like he wanted to win and played the last session especially with the goal to win #it's so interesting to watch him use different strategies to his advantage #and saying that he won because of the watchers undermines that #plus like i said. this is the season of defiance. no one is doing what the watchers would want/expect them to do #let scar have his win - not just of the game but also against the powers that be #he hasn't been taken by the watchers. he's not theirs now. he's free #after all the suffering he did. he's done it. he's won. he's had no friends and won and now he can heal. he's free #gtws #gtwscar #goodtimeswithscar #secret life #secret life smp #slsmp #trafficblr #life series #textdisaster

#listen I had to skip the part w the leg thing #medical body horror that way messes w me #like idk seeing the freeze frame of his leg twisting in the wrong way #I skip that page and the scene in the anime #like I just can’t do it I’m sorry #but THIS?👀 #chigiri hyoma #bllk chigiri #chigiri x reader #would this be pre blue lock or post? #bc imagine he’s in a manshine game or whatever well into his pro career #and he like falls on his knee or something #and he’s thinking for the sec time his life is over #hmmm #maybe this happens during the World Cup? #would it be cruel for him to not get to play or have it happen when they win #like he scores the winning goal and rip his leg

gonna literally throw virtual knives at the next person who says 34 & 16 need to step up in playoffs as if half the problem in previous years wasn’t management not surrounding them with complimentary players. like there is only so much two players can do. a team wins a cup, not individual players. like there’s a reason people you wouldn’t assume have a cup, have a cup, and that’s because they were part of a team that was built to support the name players.

i don’t need flashy deadline adds because a lot of the time it ruins team chemistry and things fall apart after a round. i just want a team that will go to war for each other, a team where people know what role they’re there to play and do it well, a team that has depth players they can call on when injury happens, because those are the kind of teams that win cups.

like yeah some of the greatest players have cups. but so do a bunch of guys you’ve probably never heard of. because it takes a whole team.

#the rhetoric from pundits and some twitter fans is just Annoying #literally HOW MANY YEARS did they do the big name splashy deadline add #and it’s never worked out #like literally never #people can talk about ror last playoffs but look at who was actually winning games for them #he wasn’t the one putting the team on his back and scoring goals to tie the games to drag them to overtime #he was good but the revisionist history about him making all the difference is exhausting #also no one ever wants to admit that a good chunk of winning a cup is luck #because it is #sometimes it’s just dumb fucking luck #because that’s sports in all its heartbreaking reality #you can do everything right and still lose #a goalie can go on a heater #players can get injured #everything adds up #so anyway i’m fine with the adds the leafs made and i’m fine with it being a quieter deadline #cards are set and we’ll see what happens #toronto maple leafs

ough i feel like the bad boys are a split disaster waiting to happen. grian hitting joel off really nailed down the idea that when push comes to shove, he’ll choose winning over them and meanwhile joel and jimmy have become increasingly, fiercely, loyal to one another. and while they’re still loyal to him, obviously, it feels like there might be some oncoming strain as priorities shift

#i feel like this is why at the end of the day scar and grian end up on the same side #like Most of the time #because they have priorities and people but at the end of the day to them its about Winning #or whatrver their Goal is #so they end up pairing together- two sides of the same dreadful coin #the only time scars given up the game was for grian. so #limited life spoilers #limited life smp #sorry just rambling
