I think about these two moments a lot

of people hanging in each other's arms, being held up when they're overwhelmed (be it in a time of heartbreak or even in a time of joy and relief). And about how so much of Jamie's journey was about him growing strong enough and supported and stable enough to be able to pay that grace forward and hand it out to others.

sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better

What do you think is the most character accurate fic you've ever read??

Ever read? That's an impossible question lmao. I have been reading fanfics since i was twelve. I have read fanfics I don't even remember 🫡

Obviously it's a subjective question to begin with but part of the fun of fanfic to me is exploring different avenues for characters according to different author's preferences and putting blorbos into incredibly un-canon Situations. But in a lot of those settings what is "in-character" is even more thrown asunder because it's so far removed from anything that would even remotely happen in canon.

I guess what I mean by that is a lot of the fics I read and love don't necessarily align with my personal ideas of/headcanons for a character, yet still remain "character accurate" in my esteem, if you will (I'm thinking, for example, of that one Gay!Roy fic which is EXCELLENT and incredibly in-character imo and yet I still don't personally think Roy The Character is gay. But even though that's generally not how I think of his sexuality I still liked exploring that alternative verse and still recognized that story's Roy as Roy. Does that make sense?)

ANYWAY. going to veer off the specific question and instead just list some miscellaneous recent(ish) favs (or at least ones I think were published after I made my last rec list):

Paperwork by @pghumfort (Roy/Jamie)

Tits Out! also by @pghumfort (Jamie/Keeley)

if anything could fall (it's the world that falls away from me) by scarlettroses (Roy/Jamie)

i came prepared for absolution (if you'd only ask) by scarlettroses (pre-relationship Roy/Jamie); I've definitely recommended this one before but it's SO good on character exploration, especially for Roy. really really complex and meaningful look into his brain. I love it.

I should know (what turns you on) by Dancey96 (Roy/Jamie/Keeley)

It's Fine With Me (if you wanna stay the night) by @shortcuts-make-long-delays (pre-relationship Roy/Jamie/Keeley)

screaming crying throwing up by @morethanslightly (Roy/Jamie/Keeley)

that four letter word by @izzyspussy (Roy/Jamie)

5 Times Phoebe Meddled in Uncle Roy's Love Life... by darkesky

An Invitation by Laurasaurus (Roy/Jamie, Roy/Jamie/Keeley, Roy/Keeley)

Not exactly Cyrano by @destinationtoast (Roy/Jamie/Keeley); I may have recommended this before but now it's finished!! go back and re-read it if you haven't finished it yet...it's so worth it!

Also the Gay Roy one I referenced earlier is so afraid that time will take it all from me by LikeAMovieIOnceSaw. Really such a lovely fic 💕

as always please read the tags and story descriptions and ratings before diving in to make sure they are right for you and your needs etc.

Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso Season 3 » Casual Sweaters/Jumpers

[all-chickens-are-trans]

Lol what if Trent just hangs around the office one day and is like "alright, me and Hank are going to grab lunch together, anyone wanna join?" and they all exchange looks like who the fuck is Hank? And Trent frowns and points at Beard's empty desk like "You know...? Hank...? Coach Beard...?"

And that's how we learn Beard's first name??

The film??

T H E F I L M ?!

[aceoflights]

Cause I've seen some people say it. Colin has zero reason to think that coming out to the team would be safe for him.

no thoughts, only Crimm

Since Colin's playing in this next match, this will be the episode where Colin get's outed (s3e5).

They've set up the parallel with Rupert's secrets coming to light at the same time (suggesting 0 public outcry) and since Richmond's down 3 players they NEED Colin out on the field unlike in a normal game where they might be able to hide a player during bad press. The juxtoposition of Colin wanting desperately to play again and simultanously not wanting to be seen (in a match where HE is the player everyone will be watching/judging). He can't be a chameleon anymore.

It's a perfect setup for him to be forced onto a pitch at a moment he'd rather hide...

In all seriousness when is Roy bringing back this hair because he’s genuinely never looked hotter

[wewillbehappyagain]

i had to pause the episode cause jamie’s look of realization when he looks up and sees the entire team lined up behind him, listening to him… full on crying about it

[all-chickens-are-trans]

I wanna rewatch Ted Lasso but I want to watch the version that lives in the collective hivemind of Trent Crimm Girlies 😔

[youwillfindilluminating]

liesmyth's gonna take on the world someday has me in a chokehold.

it's only halfway done, but it's so good that it's melting my brain 😩
