#Bi ted lasso

[tomlinfonda]

TEDTRENT + checking each other out

[ohdeargodwhy]

Ted being attracted to men in Seasons 1 and 2 of Ted Lasso

[ughhhdavid]

Something about "sport, it's quite the metaphor" something about facial hair in reference to hidden sexuality something about a mustache being a best of both worlds between clean shaven and a beard something something

what does it MEAN. what does it ALL MEAN.

[vrag-veshtica]

ted lasso could be the first show to actually straight-bait their audience and I find that beautiful

[randomfandomss]

Something something Ted calling Trent ma'am (out of seemingly nowhere?!?!)

Something something "was a straight man"

Much to think about...idk which but SOME dots are being connected.

[phyllistines]

I know we all love the reactions from trent and roy when ted claims to be straight, but i feel like we’re sleeping on this:

this is the shot we see when ted says the infamous line, “i was a straight fella, in middle america”. While colin might not be in the center like he was in ted’s earlier speech about shame, he is still in focus, while richard and jan are both blurred slightly. Seeing as this is exactly when ted says he was straight, there is definitely a reason we are supposed to focus on colin. this could mean multiple things. it could just be alluding to the fact that colin isn’t a straight guy in football, (ted using the word fella when colin just did in the last ep also lends to this) and seeing as ted needed to stand out, colin knows being straight is the norm and he shouldn’t stand out.

however, my tedependent brain is always firing on all cylinders and i think this can definitely be hinting to a bi ted. let’s think about the scene, ted says he was a straight fella, and we get that colin shot, the roy side eye, and trents “i know what you are” stare. the last two have been joked about, and they both have a little credibility, though they are mostly jokes. But with colin added to that list of reactions, it isn’t really a joke anymore. ted gets looks from a closet gay footballer, an openly gay ex-journalist, and a manly man coach who spends most his time with another man, and just spent practice tying men’s dicks together with “soulmate string”. to have all of the reactions in that scene when ted says he’s straight be solely from the queer (or allegedly queer) characters isn’t a coincidence. to look at it in canon, they’re just claiming him. they all have gaydar, and they know teds either lying to them or lying to himself when he says he’s straight. to look at it from a cinematic standpoint, the only people that are really focused on during that scene are colin, trent, and ted. one of these things is not like the other. or is it?

this man is bi

I owe a bunch of fic updates over here — but I think this was a pretty damn cool one IMHO.

so subtle,guys

[meat-huge-pain-endless]

i know better than to get too hopeful about it actually happening but GOD it would mean the world to me if ted was bi

other than the fact that i’m bi and i personally see so much of myself in him, it would be HUGE for them to make the main character canonically queer

like the name of the show is literally his name!! i don’t think i’m rlly exaggerating when i say that they have the potential to do something so monumental for queer rep in tv, especially for shows that aren’t focused on/about queerness or aren’t marketed towards a queer audience

i also want to be clear that i’m not saying that the rep we‘ve already gotten this season isn’t good enough or anything like that, the fact that there are three queer characters, one of whom is bi, is amazing and i’m so happy about it! but i also don’t think i’m being greedy or demanding by hoping ted will be bi as well, especially when the signs are all there!

i just think theodore lasso should have kissed one man — any man — on the lips before leaving for kansas. beard, roy, higgins, trent, nate, kenneth, rupert, one of the pub trio. doesn't matter who. the dude was robbed of his bisexual slut era the day before pride month. i wish the writers would've given him his gay short-shorts and a fruity little drink and would've let him sing some shania karaoke which then would've let him get lucky
