ok TED LASSO EPISODE 2 THOUGHTS:
keeley wanting to take a blood oath with her coworkers on ayahuasca is so funny like these writers really understand girl culture 😌
dani is the unsung hero of this episode because his lines have such an innocence to them even as he’s telling trent to fuck off which honestly takes talent to portray with such naïveté so kudos to cristo for that!
THE TEAM BEING UPSET EVEN BY THE RUMOUR OF ROY AND KEELEY BREAKING UP hands down the funniest and most amazing scene of the episode like they all know roykeeley are precious and the king and queen must be protected at all costs i love those himbos 🥰
trent is doing his best and honestly we love him for it. I mean look at that face, what’s not to love?
I do think his book will cause some ground to rumble at richmond though. rebecca and keeley and higgins were right in nodding vigorously at ted because it will not be good if it blows up
also rebecca saying yes while seeing a bunch of no gestures just after ted did the same thint mhm yeah soulmates I do believe
roy is being his usual self this episode and you can so clearly see how his mindset with his career last season set the tone for his mindset in his relationship with keeley which led him to break up with her. he’s being stupid because hello, she’s keeley fucking jones, he needs to get over the insecurity, but I also get how his it’s valid as he’s felt it in so many aspects of his life before. him holding onto the news clipping is proof of that. the whole “some people would rather quit than get fired” thing just is so layered with him dumping her out of fear that he would end up dumped one day and have his insecurities about not being good enough for her confirmed. this also means he’s growing and will get over it though, trust in endgame everyone !!
zava is more of a diva then jamie was in season 1 and it is going to be a BLAST watching jamie perhaps revert back to his old self just a *little* bit out of jealousy and watch these two have one big ol’ diva-off (in my head it plays out like a “lip sync battle for your life” on rupaul’s drag race kind of moment but that’s just me)
THE PUB BESTIES ARE BACK OMG
jamie trying to hug roy and roy shoving him away cause he was freaked out was absolutely hilarious like it’s giving fleabag when claire tried to hug her (if anyone hasn’t seen fleabag pls go watch it on amazon prime)
Rupert Mannion is a slimy turd and I hope Rebecca murders him in a violent and unspeakable manner and then gets away with it
also Rebeca yelling at Zava in the bathrooms paralleling when she told Keeley that men give each other jobs in bathrooms all the time!!! Haha!
give me a ten hour episode of Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso batting his eyelashes and making comments about Hallmark Christmas movies and I will be a happy woman
BONUS: the amsterdam snowglobe!!! THEY KEEP TEASING THIS TRIP AND GOOD LORD IT IS GOING TO KILL ME!!!

ted and y/n go visit dottie for the holidays and she keeps nagging at ted that he let himself go since she last saw him and y/n jumps to his defense 🥰
It's getting close to the holiday so I wanna squeeze this in. I think this could be really sweet with a little angst. So let's gooo!
---
Relationship: Ted Lasso x reader
Warnings: Angst + comfort + cuteness
---
Ted took a deep breath as he parked the rental car in front of his mother's house in Kansas.
"You okay, babe?" you ask, squeezing his big, warm hand. He tries to smile but you can see the worry bunched between his brows and in his deep hazel eyes.
"We'll be okay. I promise," you answer, kissing his hand, his smile growing.
Everything goes alright at first. Dottie wraps you both in a big hug, she's smiley and pleasant. You have a lovely dinner she made -- homemade barbecue and cornbread, Ted's favorite. Afterward, she offers coffee or something to drink, and you and Ted take your seats in the living room.
You smile and marvel at the photos of a younger Theodore Lasso, his eyes bright with round apple cheeks, all over the walls in various sports uniforms and photos with him and his mom.
Ted starts to relax on the sofa, his hand still holding yours, when Dottie brings out coffee and sets it on the coffee table in front of you.
"Thank you," you smile, and she gives a terse, rigid smile in return.
A little icy. But let's proceed.
"So, how was your flight?" she asks brightly, taking a sip. "I can't imagine a flight that long."
You chuckle and smile. "It wasn't so bad. We had one layover that was short and sweet, but we got here in once piece and that's what matters."
Ted smiles.
"I like the color you painted the shutters," he says, leaning forward a little. "Looks nice."
Dottie waves it off. "Oh, that? Mrs. Benson's son Robert did that for me. He's always home doing handiwork on her house."
Ted clears his throat. "That's nice, Momma."
Dottie continues, "Yeah, he's there all the time. He visits her often, actually, even if not just for home improvements. She's really lucky."
Ted clears his throat again and looks down, his hands wringing together nervously.
"It's too bad I can't say the same for you..."
She takes a self-confident sip of coffee and smiles tightly at us again and I take a breath.
"It's hard for us to get home, with Ted's job and my job. I'm glad Mrs. Benson can have that time with her son, but some jobs just aren't so flexible," you offer. Dottie's face goes stern.
There's a beat of silence that feels like an hour.
"Robert also has been running in some local charity 5Ks," she say, talking about this woman's son as if it were her own.
Ted looks up at her. His breath is stalled as he waits for what he assumes is coming.
And it does.
"You could use some runnin' in your life, Teddy. You're gettin' a little tire in the middle there. London food that fatty?"
Nope. Not on your watch.
"Excuse me. Mrs. Lasso," you offer.
"Dottie," she corrects.
"Fine. Dottie. Your son is just fine the way he is. He's handsome and brilliant. He's brought an incredible skill to this team of young men they never had before," you offer, she interrupts.
"Ha! What's that, showin' how to feel sorry for yourself?"
You take a deep breath in your nose.
"The opposite. How to heal yourself. How to be better. How to move forward. How to be honest with yourself and with each other," you start, and you let the next words tumble. "Something you could stand to learn from."
"Excuse me?!"
"You heard me."
Dottie sits and stares at you while you glower at her. How dare she rub Ted's face in all these things -- not visiting enough, not being trim enough. What kind of mother is she?
"I am madly in love with your son because most of all he's a good person. He puts everyone first except himself!"
She sighs, feels a tinge of guilt rush through her body, and sips her coffee.
"And above all else, he's perfectly exactly as God or the universe made him. Every inch of him. Inside and out. He's perfect," you say the last part softly, looking back at Ted, who's leaning against your hip now, his eyes teary at your defense of him.
Your fingers stroke his hair and he sucks in a breath.
"Momma, I've been goin' to therapy back in London," he starts. "And she's been..."
"Lemme guess," Dottie holds up her hand. "I'm the root of all evil?"
"Let him finish," you scold her, and she shuts her mouth.
"No, but there's a lot of things from... after dad died that I didn't get to process then. And it's affectin' me now. And I think it would do you some good to see somebody, too."
Dottie laughs.
"Ted, I'm just fine. I took care of you, raised you, and I didn't need any help."
"You did though, Momma. You just didn't know how to ask for it."
Dottie takes a breath but doesn't answer.
"I'm learnin' that nothin' I could've done could've saved Daddy," Ted says, tears in his eyes. "And all I can do now is show up for the people I love, and show up for myself. Not live to some standard that can't be reached."
"And you're doing a lovely job, sweetheart," you whisper, sitting next to him and grabbing his hand. "You've come so far."
Dottie watches the dynamic between the two of you -- how comforting you are, how much he's grown, how honest he's being.
"When your daddy died, Teddy... I had one job: To raise you. I didn't stop moving until I knew you were safe and grown and headed in the right direction," she admits. "But you're right... I didn't take time for myself. And I probably shouldn't have tried to get things back to normal. I should've asked you if you're okay."
Ted nods and you squeeze his hand.
"Everyone can benefit from therapy, or at least talking to someone," you answer. "And we aren't all good at asking for help. Ted here was very nervous about starting therapy."
Ted nods and agrees. "Marriage counseling left a bad taste in my mouth."
Dottie nods, understanding what he means since Michelle and Dr. Jacob are dating.
You look at Dottie again.
"I know you feel like criticizing people is the way to help them, but it's not. We have to help ourselves first. And love each other for all our flaws and differences. But to me? Ted is perfect in every way. I wouldn't trade him in. I wouldn't change a thing about him."
Ted's eyes marvel at you while you say this with full confidence. He squeezes your hand and you squeeze back.
Dottie smiles and sits back in her chair, a look of defeat.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you with my unending love for your son," you chide, trying to lighten the mood.
Dottie smiles after a breath. "No, I appreciate ya sayin' all that. I really do. I guess... I just assume since he's not here much anymore..."
"Ya know what they when we assume, Momma," Ted says, smirking. "Makes an 'ass' of 'u' and 'me.'"
She smiles brightly at his joke. Eventually, the conversation returns to normal. Dottie listens to Ted's stories about the team, life in London. About how the two of you spend your weekends. You offer her to come out and visit sometime.
By the time you leave, she gives both of you a big hug, grateful to have the time, grateful to be together.
"We'll be back over tomorrow for Christmas dinner," Ted says, pulling away. Dottie nods and smiles.
Ted is quiet in the rental car on the drive back to the hotel.
"You okay there, sugar bear?" you ask, trying to use a rhyming nickname. He looks at you and grabs your hand, kissing it again.
"I'm happy. For the first time in a long time, especially here in this town, I'm happy."
...
Once in the hotel, Ted changes into some soft joggers and a tshirt, and you do the same. You curl up on the bed together, showered and clean, ready to sleep comfortably.
Ted crawls up to you, his head on your chest so you can rub his back and play with his hair.
"You did good today, babe. I'm proud of you," you whisper, kissing the top of his head. His long arms squeeze around you a little tighter.
"Couldn't have done it without ya, sugar," he replies quietly.
"Yeah, you could. If it had been you there alone, you could've."
He takes a breath and moves to pull you into his chest now.
"I'm not sure how this journey'd go without you by my side."
You smile and kiss his chest gently.
"Well I'm here for a long time, not just a good time," you answer with a smile, his own painted across his face as he pulls you closer to his body, turning out the lamp.
---
I wasn't sure how this should go but I've met parents who brag about their friends' children as a way to get their own child to do something. It's real shitty, and something I could see Dottie doing. So... there we have it.

Roy x Jamie x Keeley & Roy x Jamie fic recs - Part 3
Part 1 is here
Part 2 is here
These recs cover the fics I’ve read from about 6/19/23 - 11/23/23, but some of them were written earlier. Sometimes there are spoilers for the fics themselves in the descriptions/quotes, but not too many. (They're all happily-ever-afters anyway. 🥰)
-
Roy x Jamie x Keeley:
Heart Trouble - MoreThanSlightly (cadignan) - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 7k. Set post-S3-fist-fight at Keeley’s. She asks them to reenact their fight and basically physically shoves them together in a NOW KISS situation. It’s fantastic! Roy working through his feelings, figuring his shit out in the moment - with lots of help from Keeley. Keeley directs R & J, and then she kicks them out to shower, and they still get kebabs and talk about their feelings.
family, right - jedusaur - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] @jedusaur 3k. Jamie and Keeley go to a Pride parade with Phoebe and the team. Roy stays home and bakes them a rainbow cake, because he wants to be private about that kind of thing. It’s all very sweet! (No pun intended.)
There are so many quiet people Roy could have fallen in love with.
Triple blend - Dancey96 - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 7k. Holy SHIT, this is fantastic. An OT3 fic set right after Keeley kicks them out in S3. Roy and Jamie go to the kebab shop and talk about what she meant by “mixing their coffees.” The feelings and the way they take care of Jamie and just everything about it is so perfect. This could be canon.
Jamie licks the corner of his mouth, tongue poking out as he smirks at Roy. “You’d have sex with me, then?”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” Roy groans.
-
“That I was queer?”
Roy snaps his head up to look at Jamie. “You can’t say that.”
“Yes, I can,” Jamie says. “We’ve reclaimed it or whatever. That’s the word I use.”
-
“What are we gonna do with this one?” she asks.
“You tell me,” Roy offers, fingers scratching at Jamie’s scalp absently.
“You’re gonna make me come too soon, is what your gonna do,” Jamie manages to get out, teeth clenched under the strain of staying still.
we start and end as one - Chapter 1 - FlYiNgPiGlEtS - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 8k. An OT3 established relationship fic where Roy and Jamie get in a fight after Jamie is asked to come back on Love Conquers All (he says no, obviously). I love a good fight and make up fic! The last chapter with the convo between Roy and Jamie is so great.
the body of someone you love - goodmorninglovelies - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] @goodmorninglovelies42 2k. OT3 h/c where Jamie gets rear-ended by Colin when leaving practice. He gets stitches and Roy is all pissy because he only knows how to express his worry as anger. Then he and Jamie fight a bit. Keeley draws Jamie a bath at home and Roy apologizes. It’s lovely!
-
Roy x Jamie:
so afraid that time will take it all from me - LikeAMovieIOnceSaw - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 10k. A really good fic about Roy being gay. Starts from when he was little through all the Ted Lasso seasons, basically. Kind of an AU/rewrite. The scene where he and Jamie finally kiss at his house is really, really sweet. Roy starts crying because he’s so overwhelmed and didn’t think he could allow himself to have this. Also some cute stuff with Phoebe like Uncle’s Day and Roy and her going to the England match. I’m always impressed by Roy fics because the man will forever remain a mystery to me.
let your hook be always cast - Literatus - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own]  @literatus-ao3 25k. The fic starts when Jamie joins the team. There is SO much good pining, from both of them, although Roy doesn’t get it yet. And there’s a good amount of angst because obviously Jamie’s loved him forever and Roy treats him like shit when he first gets to the team. Then Roy starts to have sex dreams about Jamie, and they’re hot. Jamie is also super cute with Phoebe. He’s her favorite player and there’s a cute scene where Roy introduces them, and Jamie suggests they play a little football.
“Her mum is bringing her around in thirty minutes, and you’re going to be nice and fucking charming and you’re not going to upset her. If you do, I’ll rearrange that pretty fucking face of yours.”
Jamie blinks at him slowly. “You think I’m pretty.”
absolutely definitely nota - Chapter 1 - talkfast - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 12k. Roy watches Lust Conquers All with the yoga mums. Sort of a speed run/AU of S2 and S3 where Roy hugs Jamie after his fight with his dad, and starts training him much sooner (I think).  [Stefon voice] This fic has everything - Magic pancakes, tunnel hugs, Jamie finding out Roy watched Lust Conquers All and being self-conscious about his nails being painted on the show, Jamie painting Roy’s nails, the yoga mums meeting Jamie then making Roy a cake about it, and a tandem bike gag gift!
The moment feels too gentle. Like Roy should set the volume to maximum and startle Jamie awake.
He doesn’t do that.
Instead he just fucking sits there until Jamie shifts and stretches out his limbs with a hum. Jamie blinks blearily at the ceiling and turns towards Roy without lifting his head from the couch cushion. When he sees that Roy is still there, his mouth curves into a sweet smile.
Roy’s heart stops for a second.
I could be violet sky - liesmyth - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] @liesmyth 9k. Sadist Roy and accommodating Jamie written by one of the best authors out there! Jamie finds out Roy gets off on hurting him. Everything is consensual. In the end they talk more, and Roy admits he likes it even more because Jamie isn’t into pain. But Jamie likes it when he slaps him because it “means he’s his.” ROMANTIC BDSM MY BELOVED.
That’s kind of a trend—after Roy’s rough with him, he likes to hover, oddly solicitous, and Jamie’s not above taking shameless advantage. If Roy really wants to attend to his every need, then good for him—Jamie’s got plenty of those. He sends Roy running round the house to get him freshly squeezed orange juice or Jamie’s favorite pillow that he left in the bedroom, and Roy tells him to fuck off but he still does it, and always tilts down his chin to accept a kiss.
-
“I can be great all the time. Watch me.”
“I’m always watching you.” Roy’s voice is raw, frightfully open. “Leave me no other choice, do you?”
Roy Kent's Dramatic but Inevitable Jamie Tartt Induced Bisexual Awakening - chelicerata - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own]  8k. This is part 1 of a lovely set of fics. Roy kisses Jamie when they’re on the couch after he makes dinner for them, they fool around, and then Roy freaks out a bit and Jamie leaves. There is a little bit of angst here! Eventually Roy apologizes (after talking with Keeley about bi stuff), and then R & J have dinner and fool around but this time with feelings! Poster talk. Light D/s. All things that are good.
The thing about him and Jamie - the worst part, the absolute worst part, the part he thinks about when staring up at his ceiling at four in the fucking morning is that Roy doesn’t just want to fuck Jamie, and doesn’t just want to be his friend again. He wants to kiss his stupid pouting face and tell him what a good job he’s doing and fucking cuddle with him at night and sink his teeth in and never, ever, ever let him go.
-
“I’m not doing anything to fuck up my star player,” Roy says, aware that he’s being completely fucking mental about it.
“Your star player, am I?” Jamie looks immensely pleased and at least a little turned on.
Roy Kent's Long and Incredibly Fucking Irritating Coming Out Saga - chelicerata - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] Part 2 of the above fic. 10k. Established relationship from Roy’s perspective. The process of coming out to various people – Phoebe, Georgie and Simon, etc. This fic is so gorgeous, and you already know I’m impressed by Roy meta!
“You’re… out?” The words feel awkwardly shaped in Roy’s mouth, like he’s mimicking lines that he’s only seen in films, lines that shouldn’t belong to him.
better than dreaming - Literatus - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 16k. Get-together fic. Jamie buys Roy a Garmin watch and it tells him every time Jamie jerks off (via his wrist). Lots of talk about how Jamie used to be obsessed with him (which I love!). And Roy telling Jamie he can keep a house key. And Roy wanting more than sex. And just!!! So many lines in this made me want to scream with happiness.
“Easy,” Jamie soothes, like he’s coaxing a skittish animal. “Bet you’ve not been wanking. Probably afraid you were going to think about me, right?”
Roy’s skin heats. “Shut up.”
“I think about you,” Jamie says, conversationally. “Have done for fucking years. That poster on my wall I told you about—we had a beautiful relationship.” His eyes are dark and lovely. “I had this fantasy ‘bout you.”
-
Roy could fall asleep like this, standing up and with Jamie in his arms. “I don’t yell at you.”
“Yeah, you do.” Jamie presses in closer, dipping his head so that his entire face is pressed into the curve of Roy’s neck. “Like it though. Makes me better. Feels like you care.”
There’s so much to unpack in that, too much for when there’s Phoebe in the other room. So he spreads his palm across Jamie’s back instead, letting it settle right between his shoulder blades while fighting the urge to dip the other beneath his jacket to touch skin.
where it goes from here - Literatus - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] A 12k fic where Jamie gets hit in the butt with a ball, and that leads to them getting together. FULL of fanboy Jamie (he gets fucked in the trophy room). The dialog is really good, and the ending is so sweet. Roy tells Jamie he wants a proper relationship. This particular bit has been stuck in my head ever since:
“I’m…a lot. I don’t mean to be, but I’m…Keeley said I’m suffocating.”
“I’m not Keeley,” he says, relaxing, happiness spreading through him and making his toes tingle. “Fucking suffocate me, coach. More suffocation.”
run it up - immordelle - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 16k. Roy accidentally becomes Jamie’s sugar daddy. Or rather, he shows his love through gifts. This is one of those fics that I read basically having to stop and whisper-scream into my hands, it’s so good.
The cologne, the necklace, the way everyone at Richmond and every journalist at their press conferences know, without needing it to be said aloud, that Jamie is Roy’s pet project. He’s been Roy’s this whole time.
-
“Are we going shopping?” he asks. […]
“I’m taking you shopping,” he corrects, and Jamie’s eyes widen.
7 for Roy x Jamie. Also, I adore your writing! ❤ - do i dare disturb the universe (tumblr.com) A tumblr ficlet by @reinvent-and-believe where Georgie teases Roy for being like two years younger than her and she also teases Jamie about his crush on Roy when he was younger. Love at first sight! Pure fluff. <3
A Sure Thing - smashthatlikebutton - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 14k. Jamie meets the yoga mums. Fake dating, kind of. I usually don’t like fake dating that much, but I read this and OH BOY I’m so glad I did! Roy brings Jamie to yoga night, and when the ladies assume they’re together, neither Roy nor Jamie corrects them. When Roy calls Jamie “love,” … I will NEVER RECOVER. This has the feel of a romance novel in the best way, I don’t know how else to describe it.
“Uh, no thanks,” Jamie says, looking at Roy for permission first. As though Roy would let him drink on this diet, let alone in the run-up to the Everton match. Christine raises her eyebrows at the two of them, like ”I didn’t know the two of you were like that.” Roy is incredibly surprised when Jamie flushes all over, “It’s not— he’s my— it’s part of my training.”
-
Jamie stares at him. “You’re nothing like him, you know that, right? You’re not an arsehole. Well, you are, but not in that way. You’re nice, even. In your own way.” 
Roy isn’t choked up. He is not going to cry. He stares straight ahead of him and blinks rapidly.
a little of what's going on - Literatus - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own]  A 10k fic where Roy convinces Jamie to do coke at Ted’s going away party. The hotness and the sweetness are truly cranked up to 11 here.
“Oi,” Jamie laughs. “How d’you flirt then? Is it all—I’m Roy Kent, fuck me?” “Let’s find out,” he says, lowering his voice and leaning closer. Jamie freezes, eyes wide as Roy’s voice turns into a velvet rumble. “I’m Roy Kent, fuck me.” Jamie whimpers. “You prick.”
-
“You’re fucking important to me. Muppet.”
Jamie huffs a laugh, hands fluttering light and hopeful against Roy’s side. “You love the Muppets.”
I love you, Roy thinks, but he’s not going to put that out there. Not now.
suffering, the optional pain - Literatus - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 10k. Fuuucking Christ, I loved this one. This one might not be for everyone because it isn’t that fluffy, but ohhh boy, if it’s your thing it’ll hit just right. I love a fight within an established relationship, and this one doesn’t shy away from Roy being a bastard and really snapping at everyone. Roy fucks up his knee when playing with Phoebe and gets real pissed about it. Treats everyone like shit for days. Yells at a player, snaps at Phoebe when she runs into him and it hurts his knee again. Jamie has to set him straight. Bottom!Roy, D/s, very mild dub-con.
“I deserve a fucking medal for putting up with you. Fucking hard work, you are. Making everyone walk on eggshells around you. It’s rude, is what it is. What the fuck am I going to do with you, huh?”
-
Gen:
Something to be said - macaronicism - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 6k. A really great fic from 2021 that deals with post-Man City stuff. Jamie’s nervous to go back to practice and face the guys, but he does and it’s all fine. He talks to Sam and Ted and finally Roy. It’s all very sweet and protective and really well done. This needed to happen in canon!
Lemons and Lavender - LivingProof - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 8k. A Jamie h/c fic from 2021. He ends up in the hospital and at first his dad shows up and is a piece of shit, then Roy and Ted show up and save the day. It’s SO precious. It’s technically gen, but it could be read as pre-slash. The writing is fantastic. Fuzzy Jamie written in a believable way.
Letting go, holding on - Chapter 1 - macaronicism - Ted Lasso (TV) [Archive of Our Own] 8k. Another amazing h/c story that is technically platonic. Set after the finale. Roy apologizes to Jamie about the beer date thing being about Keeley. Then finds out Jamie is planning on talking to his dad, and tells him he’s against it. Lots of emotional h/c!  Jamie stays the night at Roy’s in the spare room and gets some good sleep, and Roy gets Ted to come over the next day and talk to Jamie more about his dad, etc. <3

MONSTER MANIA CON POST!!
This weekend was an absolute dream come true! Everything I had hoped and dreamed for my very first convention. And I'm incredibly grateful that I got to be there with @ghoulgeousimmaculate @bloodsuckingfiends & @silvermaplealder (and his friend Jess). Everyone was so kind and fun to be around. I'll give the rundown of who I met in this post and I'll add another post later on with more pictures!
💜💜💜
The first day Ghoulie and I checked in early and got all dolled up to meet Alex Winter first. I got both an autograph and a photo op with him. He seemed a little tired/out of it and I assume that's because he JUST got back from the U.K. and went straight to the convention. His photo op was super quick and I was only able to pose next to him, not with him.
But still, he was super cool and was very happy when I told him how I introduced my fiancé to the Bill & Ted trilogy. I also showed him an art commission I requested of Ricky Coogan! He was a nice dude overall 😄
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The second day Maple and I dressed up as David and Michael! I even got the honor of doing his makeup to make the cosplay extra authentic. He gave me some of his amazing, homemade stickers as a "thank you"! He was hands down the best looking David cosplayer in the whole convention.
Tumblr media
I got to get an autograph from Heather Langenkamp before doing a selfie with her. I was the last one to see her before she left for photo ops. She was an absolute delight! I talked about listening to her episode on the Dead Meat podcast and we had a bonding moment over that. When I posed with her, I did a peace sign and she copied the pose.
Then she said "that's such a coincidence because I wear THIS every day!" and she pulled out a necklace with a peace sign charm. She was just so delightful 😊
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Billy was an absolute dream. He has the most warm, caring look in his eyes and was very interested when I talked about how The Lost Boys got me back into writing. I was getting a little emotional, and I could tell he was on standby if I needed some help.
I had a photo op with him later, but I paid an extra $10 for a selfie with him. My hand was trembling from my nervousness and he was kind enough to hold it steady so I could take the picture. He made sure I was comfortable the whole time I interacted with him. 🥰
Also, I picked out a picture of Paul and Dwayne to be signed as a way to honor Brooke. When Billy saw it he said "awww I love this pic! 🥺" I was fighting tears ngl.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kiefer was an incredible guy!! I decided just to do a photo op and not an autograph because people were lining up at 3 IN THE DAMN MORNING and I wasn't about to do that lol. He loved the outfits that Ghoulie and Maple wore, and it was such a delight seeing his smile. He was so kind with me. Very welcoming and didn't hesitate to shake my hand or wrap an arm around me for our picture! I think he was still is a great mood after seeing Maples perfect cosplay lol
Tumblr media
The last celeb I met was Jason, and I gotta say, I think he was my favorite. Jordyn wasn't exaggerating when she said he was so nice. He was by far the kindest person I met at the whole convention (and that's saying something considering everyone was a delight to meet). I felt like he truly cared about meeting every single fan and was genuinely listening with interest when I told him the story of how @michael-after-hours got his name from Michael Emerson.
When I tell you his face LIT UP when he saw my cosplay. He was so overjoyed and it made me even happier to be dressed as Michael. The joyful energy was just so infectious. 🥰
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm so incredibly lucky to have met all of these wonderful icons in horror. They truly did care about their fans and made the whole experience extra special. I would do it all again in a heartbeat if I could.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

ted keegan's last (scheduled) phantom performance 😭 i'm uploading the final lair to also include john, since he's back for his last couple weeks as raoul 🥰
some finale notes for anyone who cares for it: - audience was lit tonight. clapping and cheers all over the place. - ted and julia are aggressive coming onto the stage. he's really tugging her and she's heavily resisting. - "which poisons our love" the way he gently holds up the veil to her is so sad, you want to weep - he gets so gleeful when raoul shows up lmao "and now, my wish comes true..." ted's opens his arms wide with a mockery welcome - john is back to breathe life into raoul again, i missed you riddle <3 - ted's acting feels so desperate, especially once raoul is in the noose. he really grasps julia tight during "start a new life with me..." - he does a higher pitched "this is the choice!" yessss!!! - "why make her lie to you..." ted is full on cradling the veil and throws it at julia when she touches him. - the kiss is so so good wow. he's in so much pain and shock when she kisses and hugs him. by the end of the second kiss, he's almost eased into it, then pulls away very slowly. they both softly look at each other for a prolonged moment, then he walks away holding his hand to his lips. - NO CANDLE 😩 i was so excited when i heard it was back but i guess it was a one night thing? or maybe i was just on an off night... - ted crying after "go now and leave me" omfg 😫😫😫 - he's so happy and has his chest almost puffed out when he thinks she's coming back to him 😔 - he says his classic three "i love you"s. you can hear the third one after julia sings the first line of the aiaoy reprise. - he took the veil and smoothed it out gently before cradling it, it was so sweet and pathetic i teared up 😢 - anyway, he's an icon and a legend for a reason. we love you ted <3

Hi! Can we have some context (and a lil' snippet of course 😉) of the evolutionary theory of attraction? Thank you ❤️
Oh yes, absolutely! It's inspired by this sequence from the Imperfects, a Netflix show where one of the characters' superpower is emitting very powerful pheromones. So everyone in her vicinity develops an unstoppable attraction/obsession with her. Specifically, I was inspired by the scene where she sprays a bottle of air freshener at her pursuers to break the pheromone smell and run away. 🤣 Well, I was thinking - our little Monegasque croissant already has VERY. DEVOTED. OBSESSIVE. FANS. What if we just turned that up a notch?
(Also to everyone else, I see your requests in my inbox! Have to bolt after this one but I will get back to you! 🥰)
title: the evolutionary theory of attraction (aka. Charles Leclerc and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Race Weekend)
summary: Of course, it would be typical Charles Leclerc luck that his body would pick the 2022 Monza race weekend to start uncontrollably emitting pheromones. And of course the only person immune to his scent is his very secret crush rival Max Verstappen.
Later, upon reflection - after he prevented a near apocalyptic event on planet Earth, and that was hardly a hyperbole - he would say that it all went to shit in the media pen after free practice. The week had started brightly enough, and Charles at the very least thought he could hold onto some measure of hope until Sunday - as history would suggest for this calendar year, but it seemed like his race weekend took its usual plunge much earlier.
To his best recollection, it started with an innocuous moment with Max Verstappen (typical, as far as unforeseen important events in his life went). Not that Charles willed it or anything, but the contact was initiated by the Dutchman, who brushed an arm against his in the “zoo.” (A term for the media pen that Alex coined affectionately in the drivers’ WhatsApp group, comparing them to animals to be gawked at, poked, and prodded for commercial gain. Albeit, very privileged and pampered animals, as Guanyu pointed out.)
An accidental touch, of course. Out of politeness alone (Max later insisted, while Charles rolled his eyes), the Red Bull driver paused beside him, which was not usual, and Charles waited patiently to receive his usual smile and greeting, but Max didn’t do either. Instead, he scrunched his nose - still slightly sunburned from the summer break - and sniffed twice at the air around Charles, which was unquestionably unusual.
Frowning and suddenly self-conscious, Charles looked down at his slightly sweaty team polo and gave a tentative sniff of his own. Sure, he was a little sweaty, but he didn’t notice any scent other than his usual anti-perspirant.
Max blinked once, twice, and then broke out in a wide smile. The one that scrunched the corners of both of his eyes, which was not something that Charles would ever admit to noticing, but nevertheless had the resulting effect of Charles forgetting whatever thoughts had preceded that moment.
“New body spray?” teased Max. “It’s not bad.”
Charles shook his head. “Flirt,” he muttered under his breath, after making sure the nearest microphone was well out of pick up range, earning both a soft chuckle and even deeper eye crinkles from his rival. If his heart thumped a little loudly, well - he would deny it with his dying breath.
Before either of them could get another word in, Max was promptly whisked away by his press officer to attend his next interview.
Ignoring his poorly disguised disappointment, his own press officer, Mia, beckoned him from a few metres away, directing him towards Ted Kravitz from SkySports. “Last one.”
Plastering a smile to his face, Charles made his way obediently towards Ted, who started off predictably with a question about Ferrari’s recent troubles. He was about halfway through his rehearsed answer about the team working hard to fix their setup issues when it happened again.
Ted, eyes almost half glazed over with a bead of sweat forming on his hairline, turned his head back and forth and… sniffed the air.
Charles was now really starting to feel self-conscious. Faltering mid-sentence, he glanced towards Mia, wondering if she should maybe call for medical assistance for poor Ted, or at the very least give Charles an excuse to leave and take a shower. But she too scrunched her nose and stared at Charles with a half-blank expression.
Ted broke the silence first. “You smell amazing!” exclaimed the reporter.
“Uh, thanks -” he stuttered, bewildered, but Ted cut him off swiftly.
“Charles, how does it feel to be the most handsome driver in the whole paddock?” Without waiting for a response, Ted leaned in - close enough that Charles could smell the other man’s… shampoo? Hair spray? He really didn’t want to know. It took every bit of his media training to not recoil dramatically at the sudden invasion of his personal space. But the SkySports reporter was undaunted, and added, “We must get a drink together after this.”
Deciding that he no longer cared if Head of Communications Silvia Hoffer Frangipane (Mattia may be the Team Principal but Sivia is - well, the boss) showed up in the zoo herself and strangled him then and there, Charles took two stumbling steps backwards and tried to unlock his half-open jaw. Then he tried pinching his arm to wake up from this bizarre nightmare. All that accomplished was a sore arm and a wave of disappointment at the realization that he was very much awake.
Fortunately, Mia intervened. “That’s an inappropriate question -” But Charles’s relief was short-lived. “What you should be asking Charles is how it feels to be the most handsome man in the whole world.”
Charles gaped at her. Either Andrea put hallucinogens instead of vitamins into his breakfast juice, or Twitter was correct and this season has caused him to lose his last shred of sanity.
“Of course,” snapped Ted, clearly annoyed by her interjection. “Charles, I will tell you how handsome you are over dinner. And then we can go back to my hotel room.”
“Over my dead body!” screeched Mia, lunging at the reporter. “I work with Charles. I love him! I have always been in love with him.”
Charles laughed - a hollow, humourless, desperate sound - as he started backing away in earnest.
Noticing his sudden movement, Mia and Ted advanced in his direction, still clawing at each other, and he was suddenly reminded of a scene from a zombie film he dearly regretted watching. Half of the people in the media pen, drivers and reporters alike, had paused their own interviews to stare at him.
Before he could lose his nerve, Charles decided to make a run for it. Ferrari can afford paying the fine.
Predictably, with his lack of luck this season, he managed to barrel straight into Max in his haste, almost knocking both of them to the ground.
“Charles?” He sounded concerned, not grumpy, despite Charles’s best attempt at bowling. “What’s wrong?”
Charles could hear his own rapid breathing and was all too aware of how close Max’s face was to his own. The blue eyes that stared back at him were confused but not unfocused, and the warm hand on Charles’s arm made his skin tingle.
“There’s something going on -” he started, but a new unwelcome touch on his cheek caused him to flinch.
Max’s press officer was no longer next to her charge, but pressed against Charles. “Oh my darling,” she tittered at Charles. “Are you hurt?” She nuzzled - actually nuzzled - his cheek, and Charles nearly swallowed a strand of her hair. “Show me where,” she cooed, unperturbed. “I’ll kiss it better.”
“Okay, what the fuck -” cursed the Red Bull driver, eyes wide in disbelief.
Wrenching his arm out of Max’s grasp, Charles bolted.

Hii! Can I pls request a Eddie Munson x fem!crybaby!reader? Like she’s such a softie that even if she sees a little flower all alone she’ll cry. Or if Eddie says something very nice she cries. If she’s hungry? You guessed it! She cries! And when Eddie gives her like takeout she cries cause she found Eddie adorable!🥰😅
Ngl-it is very self centered cause I’m a real crybaby😇😅
Hi there! This is such a cute request 😍 It made me think that I should probably introduce a fluff-o-meter for my work on a scale of 1-5 😂 I wrote it in blurbs so I could include more scenarios! I hope you and enjoy, and as always, please show love and support 🤗💕
Word count: ~800 with a 200 word bonus
Warnings: 5 on the fluff-o-meter, mentions of marriage
For @fieldofsecretss 💙
😭 Crybaby
Tumblr media
“Hey, sweetheart, sorry Hellfire took so long, but I’m home now-wait, what’s wrong?” Eddie rushed over to you. You were sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, tears streaming down your face.
“It’s… it’s just the movie,” you said, sniffling. 
“Sweetheart… you’re watching Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” Eddie replied confused, but still tried to soothe you. “What’s sad about it?”
“Nothing, it’s just so sweet that they have each other, you know?” you cried. “Friendship is so beautiful.”
“It sure is,” Eddie smiled, holding you tight. Every once in a while, well, more than once in a while, you would get into a weepy mood, and Eddie tried his best to comfort and understand you, but it still caught him off guard at times. 
“I’m better now,” you sniffled, kissing him. “How was your time?”
“It was good! The guys say hello as always.”
“Hello to the guys,” you smiled.
“Oh! Mike wanted me to give this to you,” Eddie said, handing you a small box. You opened it to see a small pin with a flower on it. 
“Awww,” you whimpered. “He’s so sweet! I remember telling him I liked roses, and now… and now…” you started to blubber and cry, and Eddie brought you back into his arms, kissing you all over your face until you laughed.
“I’ll tell him you said thank you,” he chuckled. 
“I’m sorry, I’m such a mess! You’ve only been here two minutes and I’ve already cried twice. I’m such a crybaby.”
“But you’re _my _crybaby, and I would never want you to change!” Eddie said, kissing your temple. “You feel emotions strongly! If people don’t get it, then screw them and their insensitivity.”
“You’re the best,” you sniffled, kissing his forehead. 
-😭-
“Okay, I think we have everything on our list,” Eddie said as he scanned the grocery list. “You want anything else, baby? Baby?”
Eddie looked up to see you sniffling at the bakery section, peering into the pastry window. As he approached you, he brushed away a tear falling down your cheek.
“We need to buy that cookie, Eddie.”
“Which one, honey?”
“The one… all alone.”
“Oh, okay, that makes sense. It needs company?”
“No! Don’t you get it? All his cookie friends have been deemed edible, and he’s here, waiting to be eaten.”
“Well, let’s buy it and split it so it can feel twice as loved.”
“You know me so well, baby.”
-😭-
“How was school today?” you asked Eddie as he walked inside. 
“Eh, not too bad,” he said, lifting your legs so he could sit on the couch. Draping them across his lap, he gazed at you.
“That’s good,” you said, setting down your magazine. “Any news?”
“Well, the school announced prom, and I don’t know if I wanna go. What do you think?”
“Why not?” you shrugged. “It could be fun, sort of a last huzzah with your friends before you graduate.”
“Yeah, I see what you mean. Would you… would you want to come with me?”
Your eyes filled with tears as you looked at him wide-eyed. Your bottom lip began to quiver, and you took a shaky breath or two.
“Eddie, baby, I would love to go to your prom with you!” you cried as Eddie pulled you into a hug, kissing your head.
“I had a feeling, but you never know,” he chuckled. “I talked to Robin and Nancy about it, and they said you can join them for dress shopping this weekend.”
“They’re so sweet to let me join their group,” you blubbered. 
“Well, they love you!” Eddie smiled, making you cry more. “You’re a really great gal, you know,” he kissed you.
“I love them too, and I love you! How did I get so lucky?”
Eddie wiped the tears from your face as he smiled softly at you. His eyes shined as he looked at you in admiration. 
“I’m the lucky one, sweetheart.”
-😭-
“Eddieee,” you whined as you plopped on the couch. 
“What’s going on, princess?” he asked as he moved the hair out of your face.
“I’m hungry.”
“Yeah?”
You sniffled, tears starting to form. “Yeah.”
“Aww, baby, come here,” Eddie said as you lifted your arms for him to pull you up. You sniffled into his shoulder as you whimpered. 
“Can we call to get some food please?”
“I’m sorry, sweetheart, but we can’t.”
“Why not?” you cried.
“Because I called for pizza twenty minutes ago to surprise you. It should be here any minute now.”
“Oh, Eddie!” you sobbed, then looked at him seriously. “Did you get extra cheese?”
“Of course I did, my love, it wouldn’t be a Y/N and Eddie pizza without it.”
“Have I ever told you you’re marriage material?”
“Ha, I don’t know, but you’re marriage material too, baby.”
“Don’t make me cry more!”
-😭-
(this is the little bonus blurb!)
You and Eddie were taking a walk in the park, holding hands and breathing in the fresh autumn air. You loved walking with Eddie; you always found new food to try, new places to explore, and you always left with a story. Eddie spun you, pulling you back in to kiss you softly. He smiled as he gazed into your eyes, both of you feeling helplessly in love.
“I have something for you,” he said sweetly.
“Oh?” you said, your eyes starting to water. From a flower petal to a car, anything Eddie brought you was worthy of a full bawl-session.
“Here you go,” he smirked, handing you a stack of tissues.
“Okay, I don’t cry that much,” you laughed, but caught your breath when you looked at Eddie down on one knee, a box in his hands.
“I don’t want to say much because I don’t want you to cry too much and get dehydrated, but I promise to always love you and always keep tissues in my pocket for whenever life is too sweet to handle. Y/N L/N, will you marry me?”
Your face was wet with tears long before you leapt into his arms, saying “absolutely yes!”

the premise, for those who don’t know the show castle: michelle “mike” wheeler is a famous horror author, murdery mystery type stuff. willow byers is a detective assigned to a murder case that mimics scenes from mike’s books. mike helps solve the case, is intrigued by willow, and decides her next book is going to be about a character based on willow. she uses her friendship with the mayor to invite herself along on all of willow’s cases, which willow is NOT happy about. they fall in love of course 🥰here is a snippet
Nor does she give into the urge to snatch every copy of the new book that she sees. She pre-ordered. It can wait.
Even if she’s dying to know–
Flashing her badge at one of the hovering waiters gives her an approximate location for her target, and she makes a beeline for the bar. At the far end, there’s a blonde girl who looks far too young for that glass of champagne that’s being nudged toward her – and, with their back to Willow, a tall woman in a burgundy dress, with a mass of thick black wavy hair haloed around her head.
As she approaches, she catches the tail end of the conversation. “Just once, I’d like someone to come up to me and say something new.”
Willow bites back a smile. She can certainly provide that. “Ms. Wheeler?”
“Where would you like it?” she’s already saying, turning around with a pen produced from somewhere, a broad smile on her face, when Willow holds up her badge.
“Detective Willow Byers, HPD. We need to ask you a few questions about a murder that took place earlier tonight.”
The blonde teen reaches around and plucks the pen from Wheeler’s frozen hand. She gives Willow a small, devilish grin before turning her gaze back onto Wheeler. “That’s new,” she quips before settling back onto her stool.
Willow has no idea who she is, but she likes her already.
-
An hour later, after letting their guest stew for a bit in an interrogation room while she gathers what she needs, Willow braces herself for a moment, calming her nerves with a deep breath, before finally entering the room herself.
“Ms. Wheeler,” she greets, closing the door behind herself and making her way around the table as she peruses the file in her hands. “You’ve got quite the rap sheet for a best selling author. Disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, public indecency…”
Wheeler shrugs. “I liked to have a bit of fun in my youth.”
“The last charge is from two years ago.”
A melodramatic gasp. “Are you calling me old, Detective?”
Willow ignores the borderline flirting tone. “But every time, the charges were dropped.” She snaps the folder closed and tosses it onto the table before finally settling down into the seat across from Wheeler.
The grin Wheeler flashes is dangerous. “What can I say? The mayor is a fan.” She leans across the table, settling into an unmistakably flirty tone as she says, “But if it makes you feel any better, I’d be happy to let you spank me.”
Willow's genial expression morphs into a smile of her own, dangerous in a completely different way. “Ms. Wheeler,” she begins, voice deceptively calm. “Maybe that kind of lazy half-assed flirting gets you somewhere with the socialites or your fangirls. But me? I’m a detective. I deal with people like you on a daily basis, and I’m very good at what I do. Now, we can either sit here while you lay some more pitiful one-liners on me, or you could help me catch a killer.”
Wheeler holds her gaze for another long moment, the beginnings of a sort of grudging respect in her eyes, then nods. “Okay.”
so in the show, the author character has a daughter and his mom lives with him, but in my version karen and holly move in with mike after karen divorces ted

This is it. This is how I die.
NSFW, MDNI 18+
All the powers have mercy on my soul. Have a request, looking for something, or wonder who I write? Check out my master list. If you are wondering why there is no Caitlyn or Vi? I am in denial about the breakup in the rain and I refuse to see them with other people because they are perfect together, thank you for coming to my TED talk
•🐀Silco
-Is a dirty talker so when you turn it around on him and call him a good boy, it throws him for a loop. Silco.exe has stopped working
-You do this while riding him and he loses it mentally. His mind cannot function and his grip on your hips tighten
-He very much likes it and will reward you. "Tell daddy how good he is, my darling."
•💣Jinx
-Praise? How do she accept praise?
-Goes feral and tries to prove to you that she is not 'a good girl'
-The sex only gets rougher, and it was the whole point, that and to tell her how you felt
-"Tell me who's a good girl now?" She'll hiss through her teeth.
"Still you."
•⌛Ekko
-He is a good boy, and he knows it. You know it and so do most of the Firelights. Almost every night they are reminded that he is a very good boy
-Likes it when you talk dirty or praise him, will return the favor happily
-The best time to tell him this is when he is coming. It just makes it so much better for him
•🦇Scar (bat guy from the Firelights)
-He is a what? Will stop everything he is doing and need a moment to process
-Like Silco, his brain will just stop. But then he decides he likes it and he aims to please.
-He is your good boy and your good boy wants you to feel good
-You will get the best head of your life and will need a couple days of 'down' time until you can walk again
•💪Vander
-Tug his hair while you say it, you get a free ride to pound town
-Enjoys the praise, but he likes to praise you more than he gets it
-And let's face it, he isn't a boy. This is a whole ass man, and he will remind you of that
•🔥Finn
-Put a gag in his mouth because he will talk back to you
-He is NOT a good boy; how dare you insinuate that he is
-You will be punished dearly, little blossom, as soon as he gets out of these ropes. You better believe it.
-Stop laughing
•⚒️Jayce
-Will nut immediately because he loves it so fucking much
-On his knees, doing anything to please you, he wants to be your good boy so much
-Does whatever he can to get you to say it to him
•📖Viktor
-That is Mr. Good Boy to you
-And you better believe he is gonna love you calling him a good boy, especially when he goes down on you
-Acts like he is all good but really *internal screaming*
•🖌️Mel
-No, you are and mistress didn't say you could talk
-Now put this gag in your mouth and do as you're told, slave
-Mommy isn't done with you yet. Will get her whip
•♣️Sevika
-If on the rarest of occasions, she lets you top, praise her and maybe you'll get an extra reward
-*SPANK* "Say it again."
-Biting and scratching after saying it is her preferred, like she is being punished for being too nice and she needs to be naughtier

Love to Hate You
Part 7
Pairings: Max Phillips x f!reader
Warnings: Smut 18+, explicit, unprotected sex, oral (both receiving), angst, mentions of drinking blood, cursing, enemies to lovers.
Summary: You and Max have been working together for the last year and there is only one thing you have in common - you both hate each other! Now you are both in competition with each other for Ted’s job. Who will win? Who will lose? Will you both realise that’s there’s a fine line between love and hate?
A/N: ahhh ok so we are at the end of this series!!!! BUT it is not the end of these two 😜😈 (you will know what we mean once you’ve read it) Chloe and myself have had so much fun writing this and cannot wait to continue working together 🥰🥰
Part 6
Co written with @misspearly1
Comments and reblogs really appreciated 🥰
Tumblr media
Exhaustion took its hold over your body as you pushed the button for the elevator; having spent the entire night working on your presentation - the one you had thought wasn’t needed anymore but Max made it very clear that the race for the company directors position was still on.
You’ll be damned if you’re going to let a vampire make a fool out of you. Making you fall in love was a step too far on his behalf and you're beyond the realms of being pissed off about it. Max had tried to call you last night along with a slew of messages but you’d ignored him, and planned to ignore him when you stepped out of this elevator. If he wanted to play dirty then fuck it, so were you. Although it hurts, it really does, you’re going to march out there with your held head high and nail this presentation, claim your prize and kick Max fucking Phillips to the curb.
***
The doors open with a ding and you emerge from the elevator to be met with a gossiping crowd lingering outside the main conference room, each of them making a fuss over something. What the hell is going on now? You wonder while walking towards Elaine, who looked surprised to see you. “What’s happening? Someone getting fired?” You ask, to which her eyes practically bulge out of her head in reply. “You don’t know?”
“Know what?” Confused, you shook your head with absolutely no idea on what she was referring to. Were you supposed to know about something? Instead of shedding any light to what on earth was going on, Elaine places her hand on your back and begins to push you forward through the crowd, prompting you to demand answers. “Elaine, what are you doing? What’s going on?”
“Just trust me ok, you need to see this.” You finally make your way to the front of the small crowd and shock causes a gasp to escape past your lips. Turning to Elaine you can feel your throat go dry, “What’s-”
“Max is having his presentation.” She cuts you off, wearing a proud grin. “He came in real early looking for you. I told him you weren’t here yet and, well, he looked worried. What’s going on with you two?”
“Nothing.” you say a little too quickly, prompting Elaine to raise her eyebrows in question. “Sure don’t look like nothing.” She narrowed her eyes, before explaining what was going on - finally. “Anyway, he pulled everyone into the room and started his big speech about the job position- you know what, just listen to him yourself, that would be so much easier.”
You turn away from Elaine and locate Max again, hands waving around in the air dramatically in typical Max style, before flicking your eyes over to Ted who’s sitting up poker straight in his chair looking rather aghast, confusion once again furrows your brows. The skin on your neck tingles and you can feel Max’s gaze on you and sure enough when you look towards him once more, his brown eyes are staring straight at you with a smile on his lips. Why the fuck are you smiling right now! Do you think this is funny Max?
“So as I was saying.” He begins. Now that you’re actually here to listen to what he says, Max turns his attention back to the panel briefly before maintaining your eye contact with his next words. “I’m handing in my resignation effective immediately.” What?...He’s resigning? “I’m gonna level with you all, this isn’t how this was supposed to go. I had planned to sweet talk to you all and show you this amazing plan of how I was gonna lead this company into the future but a couple of weeks ago things changed.” Still looking at you while he says this, your eyes begin to water while he remains serious. “I got to know this woman who I thought hated me and she completely changed my world. She’s stubborn as hell, she’s irritating at the best of times but she’s also funny and kind and would do anything for the ones she loves.”
Holy shit. Your eyes widen with surprise. Max means that, he really means everything he has just said. If the man had a heart in that chest of his, those words came from right there. You love this man, and he loves you. So much so that he is willing to give up the position for you to take over and lead the company to victory. Max sees your worth, though it seems others do not. Ted stands from his position, finger pointed at Max. “You mean to tell me you're giving all this up for a woman?”
“Exactly.” Max turns to face him with two affirmative nods. “But, she’s not just any woman though, she’s the woman.” Then, he turns to face you again, the smile reappearing on his lips. “The woman I’ve grown to love and realised how much she actually does for this company. Y/N is far better suited to this job than me. She has a passion for it that can’t be replicated. So therefore, I am out of the race. The job is hers.” With that final statement, he fixes his suit jacket and strides across the floor towards you. Eyes blown wide with lust and adoration, his hand comes to cup your cheek as his lips crash onto yours in a passionate, and really hungry kiss.
This isn’t how you thought today was gonna go, but you aren’t complaining in the slightest. It’s perfect. The way he delivered the news to you and everyone else was perfect. Mixed reactions about the decision scattered across the room behind his shoulders, but you didn’t care. Even if you wanted to care about what your fellow co-workers had to say about you being their boss, you couldn’t as Max began walking you backwards to the elevator like he has some place to take you. “Maxie?” You mumble into his mouth. “Where are we going? I have work to do.”
“I glamoured Ted to give you some time off.” Max breaks off the kiss to urge you into the elevator and as soon as the doors are closed, he reveals why he did that. “You and I are going travelling, toots. Everything’s ready for us to leave, all we have to do is get your suitcase packed then head to the airport.”
“What, really? You mean that?” You ask with an excited smile spreading across your face to which he nods in return. Multiple questions sprung to mind but you couldn’t let one spill as the doors reopened and Max hurried you towards his car, sounding more excited than yourself. “You’ll have a lot of work ahead of you with the new job position, but I want to show you the world first, baby.”
“Oh my God… Max.” Gasping with glee, you plant one kiss on his cheek then another on his lips before he is ushering you into the passenger seat of his car. In the backseat you could see two large suitcases, indicating that it’s going to be a long travelling trip that you’re taking. “How long?” You ask as Max climbs into the driver's seat and starts the car. “Six weeks...” He shrugs. “...Six months. Who knows toots. However long you want it to be.”
“Max, how long did you tell Ted? You can’t do that.” Worrying that you might not even have a job when you get back, Max leans over the partition with a smirk. “Baby I can do whatever I want. I don’t work there anymore.” He chuckles. “I took care of everything, don’t worry. Your job is waiting for you right here when we get back.”
“God I love you.” Smiling into the kiss on his lips, he kissed you back harder and nodded. “I love you too, toots.”
Six weeks or six months of travelling around the world, who cares? So long as you’re spending every second of it with Max Phillips at your side.
***
One hour later you stood at the front door to your home ready to start your new adventure. Max had just finished putting your suitcases in the car when makes his way towards you like he had ants in his pants. “Baby, did you lock your door yet? I need to take a leak.”
“No, not yet.” You reply with a giggle, but then gasp when he delivers a smack to your backside - a playful reprimanding. “Who’s laughing now?” He said before rushing into the house and you smiled. You found it funny that Max looked like he was a second away from his bladder bursting, but the fact that just a few weeks ago you would have despised Max for spanking you like that and now you love it is most amusing. Even now as you look back on the way you two once were with each other, you smile again.
Mentally going over everything and making sure that you haven’t forgotten something, nothing came to mind and you were really starting to get into the vacation mood. You wondered where Max is taking you first. He won’t tell you, opting to make it a surprise instead, you’ll find out once you’re at the airport and about to board the plane - in first class! All the effort he went through to make this happen makes you… aroused, and pleasuring him to express your gratitude is something you’ve been thinking about for the last hour, and that spank to your ass just a few moments ago has turned you on.
The door behind you opens quietly with Max taking a tip-toeing step outside. You don’t turn around and let him play whatever game he was up to because you liked it. You liked the suspense creeping up on you, but were taken by surprise when presented with a single red rose. “For you, my love.” He whispers against the shell of your ear, pressing his chest into your back. Taking the rose from his hand, you brought it up to your nose and took in the aromas with a hum. “Thank you.” You murmur, resting your head back to his shoulder and looking up into his beautiful brown eyes. “Did you really need to take a leak, or did you just go in there to grab the rose?”
A warm smile and a slow wink answers your question before his hands come up to rest on your hips with a gentle hold. You lean in, closing the little gap between your lips to kiss him, however he stopped you before they could meet. “Are we ready to go?” Max asks rhetorically, kissing your cheek once before moving away, but taking your hand and pulling you along with him to lock your front door. “Yes.” You nod, now pulling him along to the car hastily. Once inside, Max leaned over the partition and clipped your seatbelt in. “Safety first, toots.”
“Stop being such a gentleman.” Blurting that out upon feeling overwhelmed with arousal, he was making you feel so special with the little gestures and all you want to do is climb onto his lap and kiss him passionately like a cat in heat. “I hope this flight is a quick one.” You wink, shooting him a nuanced signal that he instantly picked up on. Crooking one brow and looking down at your body once, Max hummed ‘me too’ before starting the car. With his vampire abilities, he will certainly be able to tell that you're horny right now.
The car journey was thankfully a short ride, but with Max holding a hand to your thigh the whole time which only seemed to worsen your current state. Though, your vulgar thoughts were pushed aside when arriving at the airport and taking the suitcases out of the car to head inside. Checking in and going through customs can sometimes be a harrowing task to complete, airports are a crowded place, filled with thousands of vacationers, but that too was a short-lived experience. You and Max were sitting in a restaurant after thirty minutes waiting for the announcement to come through the tannoy. Europe is the direction you're heading for, Spain is the country you’re visiting first and it’s due to take off in an hour.
“We have time to eat something, what would you like?” Max asks, lifting up the menu to browse. The man was once human and he does enjoy food, but his preferred choice is blood, therefore you ask him if he is hungry. “Not for that just yet, toots.” He shakes his head before lowering the menu and waiting for you to figure out what you’d like to eat. “Maybe later.” Smiling as he winks, you took a look over the menu once and chose something light to eat. Consuming a heavy meal before a flight doesn’t sound appealing and besides, you can eat something on one of the two plane flights if you get peckish.
The hour passed by quickly and before you knew it, you and Max were boarding the front of the plane first. The smell of leather instantly enters your nose and you skim your fingers along the seats Max picked out for you both. It looked like a cubicle, a cosy cubicle for a couple to snuggle together inside of. A double white plush faux leather seat with a panel at the side for privacy, inside was lit up with soft lights and a small tv, with two cup holders and a long desk, which even had drawers for you to put stuff inside. It was the dream; even better than you expected first class to look like. Taking a seat first with Max joining you second, the amount of leg room available prompted you to slump in your position with delight, but then you found a handle at the side of the chair.
“Oh my, Max, look at this.” Pulling on the handle with excitement, the seat reclined. Feet lifted off the floor, your shoes were the first to be discarded and Max only chuckled as you got comfy before flagging down the stewardess for blankets. He too pulled his seat back and discarded his shoes, then thanking the stewardess and closing the little panel door, you both were satisfied to relax while everyone else boarded the plane. A short while later, the stewardess came back to ask that you wear your seatbelts as the pilot was preparing to take off.
As soon as the plane was up in the air, soaring above the clouds, you and Max took your former position of comfort and lay back in your chairs again, but this time putting the TV on to watch a movie. You had a short flight ahead of you first before arriving at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in one hour, where your next flight will take you to Madrid, Spain, and that flight is seven and a half hours long. Max should feed before that flight takes off as the last thing you want is a vampire going crazy thousands of feet off the ground. Lifting your head from his chest to ask him about it, surprise brings a smile to your face when seeing that he was asleep.
Looking peaceful as one can be when sleeping, the muscles in his face were still and beautiful, prompting you to place a kiss to the corner of his lips then rest your head back onto his chest. You didn’t want to sleep just yet, but you weren’t about to disturb Max’s deep slumber just to ask about taking a drink of your blood before the next flight.
I’ll ask him later instead…
***
Ten Hours later
Max startles awake beside you, eyes searching frantically until they land on you. “Hey, is everything ok?” The corner of his lip curves into a small smile as he stares at you. What is going on with him today? His eyes flicker along your face before meeting your gaze and he’s looking at you like he hasn’t seen you in years.
His hand gently cups your cheek, his thumb rubbing along your bottom lip. “You are so beautiful, amor.” A small laugh passes your lips and he looks slightly confused. “Max, did you just call me amor? Have you been practicing Spanish for our trip or something?”
His eyes blow wide and he quickly pulls his hand back before standing abruptly and rushing off to the toilet. He’s acting really strange. Maybe he needs to feed?
You shuffle out of your seat and make your way to the toilet knocking on the door softly. “Max, baby it’s me. Let me in.” After a beat, the lock on the door clicks and he opens it slowly just a crack - enough for you to push your way inside.
“Hey, you really need to feed. I haven’t seen you drink anything in hours. You can feed off me if you like?”
“No! I mean…I’m ok toots, honestly. I’ll feed once we get settled into our hotel.” Your eyes roam his face searching for answers but he pulls you into a searing kiss and all thought goes out the window.
Taking your seats once again, you order some food and drinks. He may not need food but I’m starving. You ask him questions about where you're going and he fills you in on all he has planned. Every once in a while you catch his gaze and he looks at you with such devotion. Like your the love of his life.
“I can no believe I have you in my life again.” He moves slowly towards you, his eyes focused on your lips until they meet in a soft gentle kiss. The kiss is like nothing you’ve had before. It’s slow and sensual and not at all like how Max usually is. He’s normally devouring you, hungry for sex.
Pulling away he kisses along your cheek before sitting back. “You sounded funny just then.” He hums as his eyes flicker to you. “You sounded like you had an accent.” Your eyes are narrow in suspicion but all he does is laugh. “Oh toots I think you’ve had too much to drink. Maybe you should slow down.
“Yeah…maybe..” Wait! What did he mean by again?
***
Max unlocks the door to your hotel room and you are in awe. He’d gone and booked the penthouse sweet and it was breathtaking. Opening up the balcony doors you stand against the railing and take in the beautiful scenery. Crystal blue sea and mountains off to one side.
You can feel him behind you as he wraps his arms around your waist. There is a faint sound of music from the street below and the cool evening breeze swirls around you. God, this is heaven.
He rests his head on your shoulder and lets out a contented sigh. You can feel the hard press of him against your ass and you push back a little, a groan falling from his lips. You have been waiting all day for Max to take you and you were so fucking horny, you’d let him take right here and now.
He pulls away a little and turns you into his arms so you are facing him. His arms slide around you again pulling you close, but instead of kissing you passionately and ripping your clothes off - typical Max style - he begins to dance. Dance?
Although, this isn’t how Max normally acts you can’t seem to find it in you to care. It’s sweet and romantic and you love him so much that this moment is perfect.
Max pulls away, just enough that he can look at you. He gazes into your eyes, rubbing his thumb over your cheek. His other hand slides along the curve of your waist - touching, caressing - like he hadn’t done this for an eternity. Like he hadn’t just had you writhing beneath him just 72 hours ago.
His eyes focus on your lips and you can feel the tension coming off him in waves as he leans in closer. His lips crash onto yours and what starts off slow and gentle soon turns hungry. You both pull away panting and you twine your fingers with his and lead him back into the room, where you begin to take off your clothes.
Once you’re bare before him his visibly gulps as his eyes take in your naked form. Your eyes flicker down to his trousers and you can see he’s painfully hard beneath them. You slowly walk towards him, reaching out to help him remove his clothes but before you can actually touch him, he mumbles something about freshening up and rushes off to the bathroom.
A worrisome feeling settles in the pit of your stomach. Max had been acting so strange all day - well, since he came out of your bathroom - and you needed to ask him what was going on.
When you approach the bathroom you notice the door is ajar slightly and you hear him mumbling something. Is he speaking Spanish? Peeking through the gap you can see him clear as day in the mirror but what you see makes you stumble slightly.
He has scars littering his chest and he is currently trying to cover them up. You don’t remember Max having scars. Or was I so caught up with lust I never noticed? You look closer and you think you can make out a faint scar over his left eye. What the fuck?
“Mierda. Deja de ser un idiota. Esa es tu esposa” Fuck! Stop being an idiot. That’s your wife. Once he has covered the few scars littering his torso he looks in the mirror, giving himself a pep talk. “Get a fucking grip, Pero. You have finally found her. After all this time. Do no fuck this up.”
Who the fuck is Pero?

TED LASSO 3.07 THOUGHTS
this was by far one of my FAVOURITE episodes of the season… and maybe ever????
something about it man oh my god… the perfect balance of comedy and heartfeltness, it truly felt like the show found its heart again and things don’t look so bleak for the team’s future
roy being thrilled and impassioned by the idea of tying the team’s dicks together is actually so maniacal and hilarious
SAM MOTHERFUCKIN OBISANYA Y’ALL OH MY GOD first of all he’s just so adorable with that big heart and big smile like major boyfriend material there but apart from that he’s just such a class act??? he’s so generous and caring and seeing him break for a second, being torn down by bigoted xenophobic trolls who trashed his restaurant, was so heartbreaking. whoever did that is gonna catch these fucking hands
THE TEAM CAME TOGETHER TO FIX UP HIS RESTAURANT AND EAT TOGETHER FUCKKK I LOVE THIS FOUND FAMILY SO MUCH and you could really see the big personalities of ALL the players shining through this episode
nate!!! oh my sweet misunderstood nate!! he’s finally gaining some courage and growing as a person, and WE GOT TO SEE HIS FAMILYYYYY oh my gosh his sister and mum seem so sweet
I was worried when his box thing got crushed for a moment but then it all worked out so yay, it’s nice to see he’s going on this journey
the jack love bombing conundrum was very easily resolved and it felt like just a temporary blip but also keeley apparently has something leaked about her in the press next episode or something???? and I’m… very concerned for my best girl, to say the least. I don’t know what the vision is for their relationship and I selfishly miss roykeeley but I don’t want her to be put through some traumatizing nonsense just to split her and jack up. we’ll have to wait and see though idk
kitman will cosplaying as beard was ICONIC
underrated comedic line was roy making puns like ted and immediately hating himself like ASSQUATCH TELL ME THAT’S NOT THE FUNNIEST THING YOU’VE HEARD
the team flipping off jamie to give him permission to be a prick is something that can actually be soooo personal 🥹🥰

Fluffy idea w ted 🥰✨ painting your child’s nails and your own to match and ted walks in and asks to join the club + shows off his nails to the boys the next day
I love putting the Lasso baby in stories. Marie Lasso, as I've named her, is such a daddy's girl and he loves it! This would absolutely be a Lasso family thing. Let's gooo!
---
Relationship: Ted Lasso x reader x child
Warnings: All fluff
---
Marie wasn't quite four years old but she was taken with watching you apply your makeup and paint your nails.
"Momma, can I try?" she asked one day, pointing at your bottle of nail polish.
You smiled at her, her big, dark hazel eyes like her daddy's staring back at you.
"Sure sweet, come here, put your hands out like this..."
You lay Marie's hands on the table, splaying out her fingers.
"Now hold still, babycakes..."
You brush on the baby blue polish and she smiles wide, already feeling so pretty and special. You ask her about her favorite things. She rattles off a story she makes up as she goes, and you beam with pride. She got your creative streak.
"There's my girls," Ted says as he walks in the door from work, putting his bag down. "Whatcha up to?"
Before you can answer, Marie holds up her one finished hand: "Daddy, look! Momma painted my nails!"
Ted looks at her with a shocked face and a smile, making her giggle at how he shares her excitement.
"Look at that, my little princess is all grown up," he jokes. "Can you help me paint my nails too?"
Marie looks at her daddy, then at you. You nod. "You wanna paint daddy's nails?"
Marie beams brighter than the sun. Will it be a sloppy paint job? Probably, but she can't wait.
Some newspaper is laid down on the table and Ted puts one hand down for Marie to work on, and with her tongue between her lips and focused attention, her little fingers grasp the wand as she slowly and meticulously paints Ted's hand.
When he twitches, she presses down on the back of his hand with her little palm. "No wiggle."
"Yes ma'am," Ted replies, looking at you with a grin.
Marie continues her attentive work, painting Ted's fingernails on both hands the matching baby blue as you and Marie.
"All done!" she says, clapping her hands. Ted marvels at his fingers and wiggles them.
"Well, would ya look at that. Thank ya, pumpkin. They're beautiful! They look like your momma's eyes..."
Ted looks at you and winks as he gives Marie a big hug and a kiss.
...
The next day at work, Ted is unpacking his backpack for a hard day of drills and practice ahead. Beard whistles.
"Nice color. Man City blue, eh?" Beard jokes, crossing his arms.
"Wife's eyes, actually," Ted chuckles. "The girls had a nail polish party and they let me in on the action."
Beard smiles, happy to see his friend so smitten and in love with the new life he has.
When Ted raises his whistle and approaches the team on the pitch, Jamie lets out a chuckle.
"Coach, what's that?" he asks, pointing at Ted's hand, which he proudly holds up and shows the team.
"I'mma tell you boys this once: When you see the people you love most in your life having fun without ya, you'll want in on it. I think Marie did a dang good job!"
Jamie smiles and lets it go. The team smiles, knowing that Ted's family comes first and he'll do anything for them. For you.
Roy approaches Ted's right side.
"You let 'er paint yer nails Man City blue?" he gruffly replies, as if he's insulted.
"Naw, Roy-o. This ain't Man City blue. It's my wife's eyes and my baby girl's favorite color."
Roy smiles and slaps Ted's back.
"Just kiddin', mate. Looks good," he smiles before returning to a stern look and walking onto the pitch. "WHISTLE!"
---
This was fun and cute - I love these little stories. Ted would so be proud of Marie's handiwork. Thanks for this prompt, friend! Hope you enjoyed!

9 people you’d like to get to know better
thanks for the tag to the amazing and so, so talented @notjustjavierpena ✨💖✨
last song: Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen
color: purple.. in all its nuances, variations, undertones
currently watching: actually nothing. An unfortunate combination of lack of time, lack of motivation and battle with not the best headspace. I have so many titles between movies, series and animes in my "to watch" list that it's kind of embarrassing… 🤦‍♀️ Last things I actively watched (months ago now) was Ted Lasso. Kinda binged it in two days and LOOOVED it!
last movie: I rewatched Up From The Poppy Hill by Gorō Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli movies are my go to when my anxiety kicks really hard)
currently reading: the wonderful works of the stellar authors here on Tumblr. I'm kinda new in the Pedro Pascal / The Last of Us fandom and I am constantly amazed by the absolute talent of the writers. You guys are really all rockstars. In particular I'm slowly reading and rereading the works by: @notjustjavierpena : last amazing author I had the luck to find. Her Husband!Javi series is extraordinary, emotional, superb.. 🥹 @wheresarizona : first author I've found in the fandom. I know, I started with a bang..😃 All her works are absolutely stellar. Her Learning To Live series is breathtaking.. 😍 @kteague : the one who introduced me in the incredible world of Francisco Morales. The day I've found her Because of You series I've thanked the algorithm Deity! 😆 That series is truly one of my happy place.. 🤩 She also has series about Javi and Joel (this last one I still have to read it but I'm sure that it will blow my mind.. 😊) @macfrog : the Queen of cliffhangers and (sometimes) angst. She has a unique way to write about Joel... just unbelievably exceptional! 😌 @undercoverpena : if you are looking for a master author that will make you tear up, cure your soul, put a constant smile on your face and blow your mind with a Javi and/or Francisco story.. well you have found it... 🥹 @softlyspector : her writing is distinctive, special, unmatched... Her Honeyed series is a precious, rare gem.. 🥰 @bageldaddy : she's is the kind of author who manages to transport you to other places and other times with her writing. Her I Know It When I See It series is just astounding. It's more than a fanfic. It's a screenplay of a wonderful movie where while you read you can hear sounds, music, voices, noises, reactions. Just.. wow…🤯 @hier--soir : all her works are exceptional.. and her A Lover's Pinch series?!? Stuff to scream into the pillow for its greatness… 🫨 (and she has a detail of the painting "Narcissuss" by Caravaggio as a header in her blog! How 'effin cool is that!!) @darkroastjoel : stumbled upon her talent for her Javi fics. Her Javier has distinctive and specific "voice" that is just incredible. 🤩 Then I've found out that she also write for Joel.. and she has one series that I still have to read but, just from the summary, I am sure it will rip my heart in two. In a superior way, of course. 😬 @fuckyeahdindjarin : a valuable voice in the fandom who has my gratitude to introduce me in the weirdest world of Dieter Bravo and the magical one of Jack Daniels.. 😍 (still have to read her last installment of her Palomino series. It's just.. I'm not ready.. I'm not strong enough..🥺)
sweet/spicy/savory: erm... I can I say all three?!?!?😂
relationship status: single af
current obsession: is it really an obsession if makes you happy and helps you in the hardest of time?!? 🤔
last thing i googled: synonyms of the word amazing.. 😅 oh the joy to be bilingual (or at lest trying to) and having a brain that farts most of the time.. 😂
currently working on: being present... and happy.
tagging: well.. the ones up there. no pressure at all, of course.
Side note: Just realized that I most likely got the purpose of this tag game wrong. Or, at least, I probably didn't interpret it to the best.😶
I should do a proper fic/author rec list... I need to do a proper fic/author rec list....... I'll do a proper fic/author rec list. 😬
Ok... byyeeeeeeee!!! ✨💖✨

My Series 2 rewatch thoughts that no-one asked for. Mostly random thoughts and things I've only noticed since watching series 3. Series 1 rewatch here.
The bit of Jamie on This Morning feels so wrong. There is nowhere near enough giggling on the part of Phil and Holly. The vibes are so off.
Jamie's eyes light up when he sees the little Richmond fan asking for his autograph. He is super cute with kids, actually.
Tumblr media
Ted says his favourite book is The Fountainhead. I haven't read it, but from what I understand the philosophy of that book really does not seem to line up with Ted's at all. If anyone has read it, I'd love to hear any insights as to why the writers chose that as his favourite.
The way that Phoebe's team looks at Roy 🥰
Tumblr media
There's Isaac in glasses again (I might be slightly obsessed, but in my defence, he looks so good in them).
Jamie x Dani shippers be like:
Tumblr media
This is the most unconvincing email I've ever seen:
Tumblr media
Love hearing some Queen on the soundtrack.
There has been a serious lack of Trent so far. We truly are spoilt in series 3.
Instant chemistry between Ted and Nora. I love it
Bring it On references and is that pom pom shaking, Mr Crimm? They are so embarrassing. I love them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bumbercatch as always asking the important questions:
Tumblr media
The whole British Doll thing is soooooo weird to me. I guess this was a thing for the Americans?
There is no way that many people would be outside on Christmas day in London.
Dani and Zoreaux playing with Higgins's kids is wonderful. They really commit to the bit.
Tumblr media
Julie Higgins / Dani BFF agenda starts here, they are so cute.
Mr Shelby! (Damn you really do have to rewatch it all to get all their little references, huh?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh interesting. Jade is actually not particularly rude to Nate the first time they meet. It's only after he pulls his demanding shit. I had remembered her being worse. Or maybe I've just come around to her after she took none of Rupert's shit.
Kids looking at Roy with heart eyes Part 2.
Tumblr media
The pub lads' Bake Off chant 😂
Tumblr media
Gifs and screenshots truly do not capture the adorableness of Colin and Will's camouflage interaction. Will's laugh is So. Cute. (Sorry. Michael, I am still holding out hope for these two)
Also, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but under the camouflage is a rainbow trim on Colin's jumper:
Tumblr media
They truly did such a good job casting Jamie's dad.
How is Sam so smooth a) at his age and b) in the presence of Rebecca??
New headcanon: The scarves that Beard and Jeremy get from the lost and found at the Crown and Anchor were Trent's.
Tumblr media
Jamie helping Dani walk in his dress shoes 🥰
Tumblr media
The lads all look great at the funeral (especially Isaac). I am living for Colin's waistcoat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hearing Roy say "service station" is painful. At least he said aeroplane. (I am telling myself he was talking about a service station in America, because I don't think I have ever seen an advert for a petrol station in my life)
Ted is so happy when Trent texts him! (Maybe because he wrote 'The Independent' and it seems hella flirty if you don't know what's coming next and if you think about the fact he's texting at night)
Tumblr media
I'm sorry, but Trent's byline photo is so funny.
Tumblr media
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, it still hurts so much.
WILL LURKING. 💖
Tumblr media
FOLLOW THE MONEY!
Tumblr media
Well this makes me nervous for the end of series 3....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Still the best shot of the entire show.
Tumblr media
That theory about leopard print indicating a character is queer? Don't forget Mae:
Tumblr media
Dani giving Will a piggyback!
Tumblr media
Why were we surprised to learn Sam named the restaurant after his dad? He is credited as Ola:

Ted Lasso of course! But also all the amazing fanfics and ideas and creation from all of you guys. This writing community is the best I've been the part of 🥰
22. Share an excerpt from your favourite scene
Last time I answered this with the plum scene from ATRDM so I'll pick my next favourite and that has to be the Phoebe and Jamie chats in History Repeats
“Phoebe, I need you to promise me that if you see your dad again you’ll tell whoever is the adult in charge at that time. Whether its me, your mum, Uncle Roy, Keeley, Miss Bowen, your coach, whoever. Promise me Phoebs,” Jamie looked her in the eye and she looked away and nodded. “Use your words Phoebe I need to know you got this in that amazing brain of yours,” Jamie emphasised. “I promise Jamie,” Phoebe nodded more firmly and Jamie nodded too. “You need to promise that too,” Phoebe blurted out and Jamie looked at her with a frown. “You’ve been trying not to say it but I’m good with feelings and shit apparently and I can see that your dad is still mean to you. So if I have to tell the nearest adult in charge when I see my dad then you do too,” she was so determined and if she didn’t already have Jamie wrapped around her little finger then that there just sealed the deal. “Sure thing munchkin. Now let’s get you to bed,” Jamie picked her up in one fluid motion and threw her over his shoulder. “Jamie!” Phoebe shrieked giggling and kicking her legs.
