If you’re having a bad day I highly recommend picturing Roy Kent kicking the living shit out of James Tartt Sr

one of the things i love about the show is like.
in s1 he's supposed to save this terrible team from relegation, but oops it's a taller order than anticipated and oops maybe he's not quite okay himself
in s2 he slumps back through the door with his tail between his legs and has to admit yeah maybe he fucked some things because yeah maybe his father damaged him a little more than he wanted to say and okay okay, maybe he's actually got a lot of work to do
in s3 he's putting the work in. he's making changes in himself, he's facing his problems and he's doing so well with it that he.....has a complete emotional breakdown. because hey uh *nervous laughter* what do you do once you start letting go of your maladaptive coping mechanisms?? haha no seriously haha how do you be okay now??? and the man he loves has no idea how to help him and can only try to be present with him while he struggles and tries to figure it all out. and ultimately he has to fucking rally and he's gotta pick his whole self up and tell people thank you and tell people fuck you and make the daily choice to move forward with his life.
now am i talking about jamie or am i talking about ted?
#truly i love it#i know some folks really wanted jamie to be ted's surrogate son or ted to be jamie's father figure and that's *absolutely* fine but Y'ALL#they are so much just same shit different generation#ssdg#like. so much#ted lasso#ted lasso show#jamie tartt#and a little blink and you miss it#roy x jamie#royjamie#tedbeard#ted x beard#*screaming* IT'S ABOUT LETTING GO OF THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS YOU DIDN'T GET TO HAVE#*sliding down a wall* AND MARCHING FORWARD TO MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL OF THE TIME YOU'VE GOT LEFT ON EARTH#*cough* im fine dont look at me

okay. i have finally finished my rewatch and i think i've finally made sense of my thoughts vis a vis ted and jamie's relationship.
i think it's very interesting that the exact moment ted pulls away from being directly involved in jamie's development is when he realizes that what jamie needs is a father. like in season one and arguably the first half of season two he is very hands on in trying to get jamie to realize his potential/the error of his ways but like. things are noticeably different after he sees him and james through the door, and then after wembley they do not really interact again in a meaningful way until mom city. roy literally picks it up as ted sets it down, like. he can't be what jamie needs he doesn't Want to, he can barely even handle what he feels for henry like we see in mom city, he's not picking up a bonus son you know
i really do think it's a very interesting way to handle their relationship specifically. they're so so intertwined in their character arcs and they're constantly setting each other's off but they can't really meet in the middle because ted can't/won't connect with him on that level. they're a son without a father and a father without a son and they can't click into that relationship because ted pulls away from him the minute it becomes clear that's what jamie needs, and we see it come full circle and see why in his monologue during mom city
#beebles#ted lasso#jamie tartt#idk it FASCINATES MEEEE#i think it's also very meaningful that we see ted give jamie dog shit advice about his dad in this same episode#because ted hasn't engaged with jamie much and he Doesn't know the extent of james' fuckery#and ted's own daddy issues are clouding it too like#he spent so long with sharon learning how to forgive his father for what he did#why Wouldn't jamie benefit from that same forgiveness you know??#but we are all in agreement that it was dogshit advice.#and it was dogshit advice precisely because he won't engage with jamie on that level#and i think whether or not jamie even wants ted to fill that role is very debatable#i love their weird relationship#they're not father and son to me they're mother and daughter#and the tying jamie and henry together was also fucking fascinating btw#like when they interact in s1 whatever that episode is#and then in we'll never have paris when henry is playing with them it's him and jamie that are celebrating together first#and he's wearing jamie's number???#so jamie gets to haunt ted for the rest of henry's soccer career?????#fascinating stuff. fascinating stuff.#you'll literally never get away from the sound of that boy who loved you ted.#because that's exactly what they do they haunt each other's arcs

you know it’s bad when i’m unironically getting fucking outfit inspiration from father ted
#he was wearing this really nice anorak with a black jumper and he just looked so nice and warm ????#and i was like i have GOT to get a jacket like that#one thing about me is if someone looks cosy i instantly think i’ve got to get on that shit#the scenes where they go outside in father ted and it’s all dreich and foggy and wet#it’s EXACTLY what the weather is like here at all times#so when they go outside and look all warm i’m like oh yeah that’s some good stuff#i feel similarly about jamie’s jacket in that one episode of ttoi. big ass padded anorak ???#i’m like YES‼️i need that‼️

14TH BIRTHDAY
WARNINGS: SEXUAL ASSAULT, smoking, trauma, nightmares, james tartt is a shit father
Leaning on the balcony, I smoke a cigarette, taping to ashes off over the side. I sigh before taking another drag, lost too much in thought. I don’t notice Roy open the balcony door.
“Y/n.” I just hum in response as I look out into the night.
“Another nightmare.” He asks. I just nod as he wraps his arm over my hunched shoulders.
“You want to talk about it? Your therapist said it would be good, too.”
“Remember how I told you how James would constantly try to get on my mom’s good side after he cheated or did some shit stuff? Well, it was mine and Jamie’s 14th birthday and James did god knows what and wanted to get back on mom’s good side, so he took us out for our birthday. We did all this stuff, then at the end of the night he took us to sex workers to lose our virginities so we could officially become real men. It was one of the most traumatizing night in my whole life. I couldn’t even look at any women without feeling ill. I couldn’t even look at my own mom. My mom, for christ sakes It took so long to be able to look at or be touched by her without feeling sick. I avoided her at all coast, she gave me space which I’m glad she did but when mine and Jamie’s 15th birthday came around. She mentioned our father was going to take us to see the football game for our birthday instead because she had to work. I woke up feeling absolute dread and before our dad came to pick us up, I ended up having such a bad panic attack that I passed out and I had to go to the hospital. Thats when I first met my psychiatrist, and I was urged to talk to him by my mom. I hated the thought of telling anyone, but eventually I told him everything and we worked together for a year and got me back to the point I could look at and talk with women without being sick to my stomach. That was also the year that me and Jamie started to drift apart. I still think he holds a grudge against me for making us miss our birthday that year. We were supposed to go see you play that year. We were both so excited, but I ruined that. I know I shouldn’t feel guilty after all the years and after mending our relationship, but I can’t help it.”
“I’m so sorry.” Roy says, pulling me into him. I slowly let my guard down and cry into his neck as he rubs my back. We stay like that for god knows how long, but eventually Roy leads me back into the house and to bed. We get into bed and he pulls the covers over us before kissing my forehead and I slowly fall asleep in his arms.
I stare up at the ceiling, running what Y/n told me over and over again. I can’t believe a father would do such a thing to his own fucking son. God, if I could get my fucking hands on that fucker, he would be dead. Calm down, Roy, calm down. No need to be going to jail. You can’t help or protect Y/n if you're in jail.

Jamie’s aftermath of the mental abuse from his dad needs to be talked about more. 
I’m not sure I can explain how hard it is to deprogram yourself, it’s a shocking process, you learn you are so much worse then you think you are.
You have to live with the knowledge that your father helped make you, no matter how much you don’t want that truth, you have to accept that he is forever part of your dna.
It’s brutal.
Going no contact feels so freeing. Then you get the first text that you know you aren’t going to reply to. The guilt you feel is numbing. It’s crushing. You think about that text for the rest of the day. Fuck week even.
I’m still surprised by the writers that they made the choice to put Jamie’s dad in rehab and had Jamie visit.
Frankly I hate it, the whole show I thought he was a narcissist. No I don’t care that he had a drinking problem, he said and did horrific things to his child. You don’t do that. He is irredeemable in my opinion, Christ, Amsterdam? Like we threw that out the window. Stop redeeming his dad in fics.
The switch back and forth of him being around and fabulous to being around and cruel would have greatly impacted Jamie growing up. He would always want to make him happy, never knowing if the thing that made him happy yesterday will today makes for a minefield of a relationship. It’s exhausting.
You end up expecting every relationship to be that then, and when it’s not? You don’t always know how to react.
It’s hard to get your dad out of your head. I’m sure he’s chanting at Jamie on the field in Jamie’s head. Things your dad says to you in anger stick around, especially when they are said with such force that it makes you shutdown.
—
This isn’t very clear and it’s a bit jumbled but I needed to say it. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
#ted lasso#jamie tartt#I’ve got a lot of options about shit fathers#also I will block people if they start saying narcissists are the victims#god made a block button for a reason

Anyway James Tartt should rot in hell and making Jamie’s ending be forgiving and reuniting with the man who orchestrated his rape at 14, inflicted an additional decade of child abuse on top of it, and has shown no signs whatsoever of even acknowledging that let alone atoning for it is a horror story, not heartwarming
How is this even a discussion
#oh and lest we forget - he assaulted and tried to MURDER BEARD#like???????#jamie reaching out to his dad? sure. i'd say that's in-character#he never got closure and still has that little-boy craving of his father's elusive affection#but presenting that as a GOOD thing? as the RIGHT thing?#as though jamie's suffering is his own fault because he harbored ill feelings towards his abuser?#as though jamie's mom is just bitter and cold-hearted and ted is the one who knows best?#fuck all the way off with that shit#jamie tartt#james tartt#ted lasso#tl

Sorry, yeah. He’s a living piece of shit.
#yeah Jamie sure loves expressions of rage that trigger a reminder of his abusive father#how many times did Jamie’s dad break something and force Jamie to clean it up?#how many times did Jamie’s dad love bomb him; just to turn around and lose his absolute shit at Jamie#if I was Jamie; Roy’s genuinely psychotic and hot headed rage would trigger me into oblivion#not a single thing about how Roy treats Jamie is quirky or funny or cute or romantic#Roy’s lack of empathy and respect for another human being is so damning#especially a human being that Roy KNOWS has been physically abused and who is a very traumatized person#ted lasso#jamie tartt#roy kent

Thinking about the fact there was a time where Jamie didn't have to unlearn and grow away from everything his father's said/done to him.
I'm sure when he realised he could go pro in soccer and was training with a bunch of other talented kids, he probably thought a bit highly of himself. But it's cuz the way his father treated him as a means to show off without caring for his son's feelings that he became the asshole we were introduced to.
I think, if his father hadn't interfered, yeah he'd probably be a bit full of himself but I don't think he would've bullied Nathan and Sam (and ofc his whole team) nearly as much if at all.
Still probably would've been a lil shit tho. (just not to the same degree)

#ted lasso#ted lasso season 3#just watched mom city and im gonna go bonkers#the moments where rupert and jamies dad had something almost soft about them#rupert and Rebecca cracking up when no one else was#jamies dad smiling softly when jamies scored a goal#like!!!!!!!!#it doesn't erase them being HUGE pieces of shit#it just shows that even the worst of us are still human#and the best way for you to heal is to understand that and move on#like.....#i get why the word forgiveness makes people upset especially when it comes to jamies dad#but you gotta understand forgiveness doesnt me absolution#it just helps you let go#like i hate them both dont get me wrong#but i think its important to understand that they can get second chances even if its just on themselves#rupert can let his ego go and become a good father and the people he hurt dont have to let him back itto their lives l#jamies dad can get sober and better amd become a good man and jamie still doesn't have to let him have a go at being a father#both of those things can happen together

some of the takes on this webbed site. good lord you people will not be seeing the pearly gates
#beebles#cw james tartt#<- im about to start talking about my own relationship with abuse also#i understand where people come from when they talk about how maybe jamie forgiving james isnt the worst outcome#but. um. sorry#you want me to believe Ted was in the right here???#over Georgie?? the woman who's been dealing with james tartt sr longer than jamie's been alive??#sorry. i don't believe you.#like. obviously my relationship with abuse and with violence isnt the same as jamie's but its like#sometimes all you are to your parents is your successes#and when you don't succeed!!!!! lord help you!!!!!#and by succeed i of course mean only by their standards#i am full no contact with my mother for this exact shit#i cannot watch the jamie&georgie scene without getting chin wibbly about it because like#your father. he is who he is. and he is never ever ever going to change.#yeah. lol#sometimes all you give your parents are chances from the time you were barely a teenager and all they do is throw it back in your face#to put that up against ted being like nah. gotta forgive him. gotta do it for you big boy. idk#just feels so violently irresponsible to say to a victim of abuse#and i talked about this already but it is also deeply in character for ted in the least malicious way possible#he worked so hard to forgive his father for what he did. jamie may benefit from that same forgiveness#but its just so fucking ridiculous to show jamie giving him Another chance even after we've seen every attempt blow up in his face#maybe im just like. sensitive about abuse narratives and how they fucking ALWAYS have to end up in forgiveness for some god forsaken reason#but fuck that ending dude. sometimes going no contact fucking sucks balls and its also the only thing you can do for Yourself#interpret the text however you want but if you think james tartt deserved the grace of forgiveness you are fucking wrong#disrespectfully#idk. idk! none of this makes sense probably we are going through a category five Moment with my own mother rn so maybe i am extra sensitive

the kids on the stars are so interesting bc they’re being raised by 2-3 pretty normal (as much as an nhl player can be) veterans and then also tyler seguin. like yeah they have a normal dad who teaches them responsibility and professionalism and then also like the mom from mean girls.
#whenever robo does weird shit im reminded of tyler giving him rides his rookie year#roope is his fathers daughter like him and tyler are the same but one of them is finnish#i said 2-3 bc my brain was just on pavs and esa but i Guess i’ll give credit to jamie#like if i have to#yap yap yapping#you know when people have super conservative dads and then like hippy moms#i’m having a weird tyler week just roll with it

Since I’m getting to write Roy giving someone a hug in a thread I need to think about this scene ಥ﹏ಥ Isaac gives amazing haircuts once in your life. Roy gives hugs when they’re most needed and I love that. Anyways. Thinking about how I HC Roy with some serious father issues too so he recognized what that sort of relationship with your father does to a person and didn’t waste anytime with seeing exactly what Jamie needed in that moment and didn’t hesitate to put aside any issues they’ve ever had over the years to make sure he was given support.
Also shoutout to Beard for smacking Mr. Tartt into the door lol
#IM EMOTIONAL OK#i think it was so important that it was Roy who went to Jamie immediately because of how much they were always at each others throats#you know damn well Roy is one of the last people Jamie would have ever wanted to cry in front of but he felt safe enough to do so#and I CRY#anyways. roy giving jamie the support he never had as a kid. lemme just say that#roy knows what its like to have a father who seems to only give a shit about you because of what you can do on the football pitch#VIDEOS.
