#jamie has accepted the affection but the shock and sheer terror in his veins slowly falling off of him

something about roy tucking his face into jamie's neck during 2x12 as a direct contrast to jamie having fully melted into the hug during 2x08 but still taking a few beats before his eyebrows turn and He tucks in his face and starts hiccuping. yea

#beebles #royjamie #ted lasso #roy kent #jamie tartt #i don't have anything smart or sexy to say about this one it's just like. damn #jamie has accepted the affection but the shock and sheer terror in his veins slowly falling off of him #till he's just sobbing quietly into roy's shoulder and the whole team is just fucken. Watching. #to then roy head butting the fuck out of him because their relationship is sort of built on violence?? #and taking it from him and treating him delicately would be theeeeeee last thing jamie would want from him #especially at that stage in his character arc #tbh in both of their character arcs. #but to immediately follow it up with such unwavering and blinding affection #not even just hauling him into the hug but tucking his nose against jamie's next #directly paralleled to jamie tucking his face into roy's #god. God!!! #roy gave the first affection after an act of violence twice!! in such differing contexts!! #and they were both equally meaningful!!! #roy kent!!! you fascinate me!!!! #so deeply deeply the zeitgeist of their whole relationship #they have to have some sort of violent undercurrent before they can really connect and even when they do that violence persists #in a really compelling way btw i love it #theyre besties they inexorably tied to one another theyre sharing traumas and secrets and they also canonically knock one another senseless #i love it. love their relationships to love and violence and emptiness and consumption #man y'all's baggage just lines right up don't it.
