i have this really stupid idea in my head that im frankly a little obsessed with and the idea is this: trent crimm doing a drunk history episode on ted lasso's first tenure at richmond. is that how drunk history works? i don't think so. do i care? absolutely not. it's a special episode who cares because this image is not only hysterical to me but treasured. i treasure this image. i hold it close in my heart and also laugh and laugh and laugh.

#ted is played by what is very visibly a butch lesbian in a huge fake mustache. #roy is inexplicably played by himself in a wig. #ternt drunkenly and passionately explaining this whole thing. he says his own line and the trent actor (who also has a wig) gets to act it #trent waving his hands as he's explaining all this. the host being like 'not very often we get to have someone include the part where They #come into the story' and trents like [dorkiest finger guns] #also yes i said first tenure bc this scenario lives in post canon fantasy fix it land where ambiguously ted comes back to richmond #at some point. and also both bc my tedependent heart is obsessed and bc it's really funny #marries trent. just bc i want this to end with trent--hammered and pleased as punch--being like AND THEN I MARRIED HIM!!!!! #[falls back on couch happily] :) #also in the line of that great 5+1 social media fic #by jessjessthebest. a sequel thats just like a youtube video like #'we made ted lasso and trent crimm watch that episode of drunk history about them' and trent is just. head in hands the whole time. #ted is DELIGHTED. #anyway i rotate this in my brain fucking DAILY. it's so goddamn funny to me. #ted lasso #tedependent #tedtrent #trent crimm #the line in question being 'is this a fucking joke' i just realized i did not clarify that #no but really im obsessed with this it's so fucking funny #also any image trent had left of being a ruthless ex journalist is thoroughly ruined #all of his former colleagues have seen him and drunk and giggling and fully admitting what he was thinking at the time and oh boy #hes a disaster <3

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.

The fact that Colin and Nate are such narrative foils for eachother. The amount of psychological damage they’ve done to eachother because of their own insecurities that they were projecting on the other.

Colin bullying Nate because Nate was perceived as “weak” and not fitting in with the traditionally masculine environment of football (while he himself did that to fit in with the very toxic environment that was the team at the beginning with Jamie leading the charge - and I could write an essay on the insecurities of Jamie Tartt) vs. Nate bullying Colin because he is not as skilled as other players on the team, he is not the name people recognize when talking about Richmond, he is not the star (while Nate feels like the least important member of the coaching team, he is constantly told by his dad that he will never amount to nothing even tho he is having a successful career at the club, he feels put aside by Ted after the arrival of Roy in the coaching staff to the point he snaps and goes to the dark side, joins Rupert at west ham, not seeing he is just the newest toy for Rupert to manipulate and eventually discard, falling into the trap of a narcissist just to feel valued, not realizing that Rupert does not value him, just the amount of damage he can do to Richmond by taking him away from there).

Both of their arcs so far have been about how their insecurities are influencing their lives, so I really hope we can see it evolve into them learning to manage them, learning to not be consumed by them, and to really grow away from them, with Colin fully being comfortable in his sexuality and Nate learning to see the worth in himself and coming back to the “light side” aka getting away from Rupert’s influence (and back to an healthy environment)

Basically I just want them both to have a happy ending (and to apologize to eachother about the nasty shit they have done)

#boy I didn’t realize I had so much to say about a football show #ted lasso #really giving me the material to psychoanalize football players that actual football does not provide me #I love seeing sport shows about sports i actually enjoy watching #and the numerous literature exams I’ve taken really come in clutch in situations like these #fictional football team that makes me want to chew glass #also this might not be coherent because is past midnight here and I am tired and not going to be getting any sleep #thanks f1 for being at fucking 3am here #colin hughes #nate shelley

For word Wednesday: care, anyone, call, and/or send

Care from thought i wanted love (‘til you showed me what it was):

“Will do love, you rest up,” the nurse said, gently patting his knee. “Let that father of yours take care of you.”

That’s what Jamie was worried about.

Anyone from here for a reason but you don’t know why aka false confidence:

All free kicks will be taken by Zava.

All penalties will be taken by Zava.

All corners, anyone to Zava.

That’s who Jamie Tartt was now, anyone. He never thought he’d miss being a reality television starlet. At least then, he was someone. Now, he was just another player trotting around. Now, he was nothing.

Call also from here for a reason but you don’t know why aka false confidence:

“Docs here, thanks Doc, I’ll uh, call you later,” Ted lied.

He hung up the phone, focusing on his breath. It was a bad idea to call Doctor Sharon. He latched onto her like a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, but the lifeboat made you reexamine your feelings before you were allowed on board and Ted couldn’t handle that right now with an unconscious Jamie lying a few feet away. Ted didn’t have time to work through his trauma in time to show up late to Rebecca’s father’s funeral. Jamie needed him now.

Send from the untitled Jamie hides an injury because the team is out of substitutions fic.

Dani eyed him but didn’t comment further. Zoreaux wasn’t going to be able to stay in the match, not when they were already calling for the stretcher. Thank God he still wore the protective mask. Roy would have to send in O’Brien and use their last substitution.

#thank you thank you my lovely and talented friend #word game wednesday #wip wednesday #fic: here for a reason but you don’t know why #fic: false confidence #fic: TIWLTYSMWIW #fic: thought I wanted love (‘til you showed me what it was) #untitled ac milan fic #interestingly enough when I watched ac Milan last weekend something similar happened where the opposing teams goalie and player crashed #heads on a corner kick and the goalie had to leave #ask box is always open #:) #jamie tartt #ted lasso #zava #fuck jamie’s dad

[altschmerzes]

Im like. Seething in rage about that episode lol. Like five episodes ago we have jamie detailing a story of james sanctioning him being sexual assaulted (because that’s what it was!!!!!!!!!!! james could literally be convicted of sexual abuse) and now we have the show saying “well actually jamie should forgive his dad and he should explicitly reach out to him and invite him back into his life” like????? I believe in forgiveness but there are limits. And those limits are important.

yeah literally, everything about jamie’s dad in that episode was nothing short of infuriating and extremely painful to watch. like yeah, the violent asshole who arranged for his fourteen year old to be assaulted is exactly who we should be pushing the Forgive Them <3 For YOU <3 shit with, i guess. as if it’s a universal truth that forgiving someone who profoundly harmed you is healthy for every single person ever. especially still actively in the midst of a pretty serious trauma-induced mental health episode.

like that’s what gets me about this - or a couple of things that do ig. we get an (absolutely infuriating) ‘feel good’ shot of james in rehab smiling and proud or whatever watching the match but he has not said fuck-all to jamie. he has not made any kind of effort to apologize or take accountability for everything he did. what they showed jamie doing, reaching out like that? that’s extremely dangerous for him to be doing with no information about how it’s gonna go especially given the last time they interacted went the way it did. i KNOW that because ive BEEN THERE and it’s shit like this being the only narrative society at large will endorse that led me to being there and it fucked me up worse than id already been by an order of magnitude.

forgiveness is for YOU <3 is not a one size fits all maxim. sometimes it hurts people to do that. especially when they’re doing it because they’ve been told that’s the only way to be healthy or free or whatever. sometimes forgiving someone is dangerous and toxic and harmful. and there’s nothing showing THAT story. it’s all this one. it’s all ‘everyone’s needs are exactly the same and they’re ‘forgive your abuser, no it doesn’t matter if they’ve done anything to demonstrate they understand or regret what they did, after all it’s for YOU! no i will not be asking if that’s what you need or doing any work to verify that, just blanket prescribing it and this will be portrayed as the correct and good thing to do.’

it’s not that i think it’s inherently wrong to show someone wanting a relationship with an abusive parent as an adult. i still talk to two of mine, not that i have much of a choice, and i get that it’s very complicated and everyone has the right to make those choices for themselves. but once again i'm at the place of like, characters are not human people making complex decisions for their own reasons, they are narrative figures that are being written by writers making choices, and writers do not ever make a different choice with that narrative and it is blatantly transparent to me that this is largely because society at large does not give one fuck about abuse victims and is stuck in the perspective of the parent and going ‘what makes a good, happy ending here? oh i know! if this person gets their kid back and improves their life <3’ no thought at all as to what a happy ending for the abused adult child might be, or if that’s even a safe situation, which it often is not.

just. disappointing and hurtful and awful but not at all surprising. i keep seeing people expressing surprise that the show would extend its radical forgiveness and second chance approach to james sr of all people and without a fucking minute of work for it because apparently we lost sight of ‘accountability’ somewhere along that road, but i wasn’t surprised at all. because every show does this. every single one, every single time. abused children do not GET the luxury of walking away from their abusers, or saying fuck it, no forgiveness, that’s NOT what i need actually. and characters choosing to reconcile or forgive wouldn’t be nearly as troubling and upsetting to me as a survivor who got pressured by people in my life and by society at large to trying to do that and suffering a lot more for it if there was literally any depiction of other choices existing and being healthy and permitted.

combining the stuff with james in the same episode with the stuff with beard and nate and with ted and his mom was irresponsible, messy storytelling at best. these things are not the same and they are not comparable. people are complicated, and so are parents, and we deserve grace and understanding but abuse changes that equation significantly and that is a hill im going to die on every time.

#gav gab #gav answers #sorry this is so long lmao I have thoughts. on this. #this was an irresponsible and harmful and deeply hurtful and upsetting choice for that narrative #and it hurt me a lot to watch #especially because it was just. tossed in there with no thought or gravity #just oh yeah obviously! #man. there were some really great parts of that episode but fuck that shit so much #they did jamie dirty in that ep. again. #this show does not do abuse justice at this point #ted lasso spoilers #abuse cw #long post #rape mention #csa mention

[vole-mon-amour]

Sometimes I see comments about Jamie and "if you told me back in s1 that he'd become my fav character" and I'm so :') As a person that saw the potential, that fell in love with him and his personality, that shipped him with Roy straight off the bat at the auction episode where "Used to love watching you play" but also "To you dying" and it wasn't only about shipping but about his personality as well. The way I could see trauma from the way he talked and acted that early on in the show. The way I felt there's more to his behavior. He was charismatic and fun to watch, sure, but it's his depth that drew me to him.

Like, I'm not gonna lie, I tried to stop myself from loving him or at least not to show it much—he's mean, he's a bully, he can do better. I didn't see much support for him, but a lot of hate instead & I didn't want to get hate for openly loving him as well. Once he's nice enough, it's gonna be ok to love him and talk about it with other people, that kind of thing. Insecure, I know. Well, I was. But then with every episode I saw more and more of him & I couldn't resist. Couldn't help myself.

He's one of my fav type of characters. Jerk with a heart of gold. Traumatized. Deserved better. Wonderful. Genuinely good. Can be a brick. A precious baby boy. Can do the right thing. Self-aware. Would punch you in the face if you really deserve/need it. Soft and gentle. Like, for me, he has everything. He hits all the spots.

I knew I'll love him when I saw him. I knew how wonderful he could be. And I'm glad they went there. He is, unironically, has always been my fav. "Coach, I'm me. Why would I want to be anything else?" And in the end, he is still himself. Just loved, appreciated, and respected now. Matured (and understanding so much more about himself and the relationships he has with other people.) No longer a bully, but a good friend to the entire team.

The sky really is his limit.

And he deserves to be cherished every day of his life and be reminded what a good, precious, amazing, wonderful boy he is. He deserves the entire world. And he deserves a partner (partners?) that will treat him right and will share it all with him.

"...she wants me to be a good lad. Wants me to be happy." Exactly that. And if Jamie wants both Roy and Keeley (or either of them, or neither of them (but we know that he does)), they better fucking treat him right. Because so far, Jamie really has been fucking amazing & he should give himself some credit for that.

#jamie tartt #ted lasso #i know it's easy to say now but somewhere on twt i have a live watch thread #and i fell for him that fast #I'm deep in my jamie feelings #and if it wasn't obvious: #i love him so. fucking. much. #roy x jamie x keeley #just in case #and when toy is being a prick to him I'll have to fix it in fanfiction i guess #i really just ship #roy x jamie #tbh #i love me some traumatized characters

[cloudluvs]

it was incredibly frustrating to see keeley once again be the pacifier between roy and jamie. it's been three seasons and she's still having to deal with their jealously and conflict. like, why do the writers oppose her having healthy relationships romantically and platonically?

#the only one they got right was keeley and rebecca #and even that dynamic was rocky and stretched in season 3 #keeley would NEVER ghost rebecca #anyway. just watched the finale and truly what the fuck #im just. baffled #but about roy and jamie #it was so disingenuous to make them fight in a half-assed dick measuring contest #fucking pick me losers. and im so mad because the writers treated keeley sl terribly this season that the roykeelyjamie conflict #felt like another slap in the face to keeleys arc and characterisation #shes just once again reduced to love interest or boss bitch #cant be both. nope #and it was RLLY insulting to see jamies regression this ep too. bringing up the video was disgusting and i hated that whole scene. #again a slap to keeley #also roy getting therapy should have been established in the first episode #First few episodes at the MOST. Not the last one???? #god. this finale was stupif. hated most of it #ted lasso #ted lasso season 3 #jamie tartt #keeley jones #ted lasso finale

[mitchmarner]

Me in theory: A weekly release of episodes is way better. The binge watching model is ruining the way we experience television.

Me when I actually have to wait another week for the next episode: What the fuck. What the fuck is this injustice. Where the fuck is the next episode of my program.

#* #content not made for my hockey blog but is going on it anyway #this is an indirect ted lasso post #spoilers ahead in the tags lol #the colin storyline is making me FERAL #homophobia in sports is my favorite topic in the entire world #the colin/trent solidarity is everything #colin finally has someone to talk to even if trent can’t FULLY grasp what it would mean to be a gay footballer #and jamie…. jamie the loml the joy of my world #casually dropping dad trauma like holy fuck #the amsterdam story broke my HEART #and miss KEELEY #like the gays never lose #either we get jack/keeley or keeley/roy #and either is a fucking slay #she’s THEEEEE bisexual of all time #also adore seeing rebecca have happiness #i just love this show so goddamn much #and the amsterdam episode was the best episode of tv i’ve watched in so so so so so so long #i was just thriving the whole way through #i can’t wait for the next episode like i am GIDDY

[trentcrimminallybeautiful]

it would be really funny if ted's internal monologue actually has a lot of swearing he just almost never says any of it out loud bc like, he's a polite midwestern dad

#ted internally seeing rupert: oh not this fucking bastard again. jesus fucking christ i wish he'd fuck off. piece of shit. #ted externally: hey there rupert :) #ted lasso #i dont think this is canon btw i just think it would be very funny #ted when high as balls for real this time: HEY WHATS UP FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!! #the entire team: [WIDE EYED BONK EMOJI] #trent after a press conference in like s1: okay off the record i have to know. you say 'golly gosh' and 'gee willickers' just to fuck w/ us #right? those aren't real? like i understand you don't swear that tracks but you're fucking with us on the 'golly gosh' right? #ted looking both ways and leaning in: off the record? trent i swear all the fucking time in my head. and shit trent! #i've never said 'gee willickers' unironically in my whole goddamn life. but god isn't it funny to watch them buy it #and trents like (wide eyed with awe) why are you telling me this #and teds like (most cheerful smile) because no one will ever fuckin believe you :) #trent (somehow more attracted to ted than he's ever been): .....ᵒʰ

[v0idwraith]

what the fuck? please someone explain how it makes ANY sense to push the time back by 3 hours. i’m gonna stay up until midnight (i fucking guess) to watch it but this is such bullshit. from the bottom of my heart, apple tv, fuck you.

#in what fucking world does this benefit anyone #no i’m serious if anyone has a possible explanation please tell me #because right now it just looks like they’re being massive dicks #midnight isnt even that late for me but by the time im done watching it n shit its gonna be like 4am #and for some people the ep is gonna DROP at like 4am #ted lasso #ted lasso season 3 #ted lasso finale

What were you doing in Australia???

Actually I'm busy this weekend and can't watch Ted Lasso with you any more.

#you come into MY house #also this would have much more impact if you didn't tell me how hot i was constantly #for like a year you told me i was hot once a month sooooo #fuck you and your cows #actually not your cows they didn't do nothin #but you're skating on thin ice #now if you want me to watch ted lasso you gotta give me TWO snacks #and a coffee
