#Ted x Sassy

[skulandcrossbones]

I kinda wanna grab him by the ears and ride that little mustache like a Jet Ski.

Thinking of all the parallels between Sassy and Trent, in relation to Ted. And also the contrast between them. Sassy just tolerates Ted's sense of humor, while Trent actually enjoys it. Sassy doesn't wanna go out with Ted because he's a mess. But Trent went to dinner with him even though he had a low opinion of him in that moment.

Ted spells out what he wants out of a romantic relationship. And Sassy can't fulfill his emotional needs, but Trent can, and he did throughout the series. Trent gets Ted in a way no one else does.

These scenes... I think they says a lot. The way Ted watches Sassy leave compared to the way he watches Trent leave. "You don't need a line, you don't need words, it's all moments, actually".

And now let's talk about:

Sassy compares their relationship to the movie "Friends With Benefits", but she was actually talking about "No strings attached".

I think that's really interesting in retrospect considering that later in the season, we have an episode called "The Strings That Bind Us".

So if Ted and Sassy have "no strings attached", who is Ted's red string actually connected to?

1x01: Pilot

1x07: Make Rebecca Great Again

3x03: 4-5-1

Ted's outfit in 3x03 mirrors the one he wore when he & Rebecca first met.

Rebecca wore the burnt orange silk vest twice in s1 - when she first meets Ted & when they travel to Liverpool (and we all know what happened in Liverpool). She wears the same color when lighting a candle in the kitchen in 3x03, the matchbox she drops back into the drawer lands next to one with a karaoke logo (more on those matchboxes in another post).

Sassy's animal print dress - both variations worn at a time when Ted is at a low and she shows interest in him.

MANY THOUGHTS HEAD FULL

forever thinking about “we have a good time together, yeah?” “they’re called simultaneous orgasms, ted.”

This, and also it’s not that she looks for him when he’s sad because he’s sad and she want to manipulate him; she looks for him and he happens to be sad (not that he’s that happy the others day but ok). On the contrary, I think it’s nice that he chooses to be vulnerable around her and having sex is a better coping mechanism than getting drunk

OK I keep seeing these "Sassy keeps finding Ted when he's sad, she's a bad person for wanting to fuck him when he's down in the dumps"

And truly, are all the people reblogging this under 20? Because there's this weird infantilization of Ted going on, like he's some high schooler getting seduced by the teacher's assistant or something.

Ted is a middle-aged man going through some tough times. He is not being preyed on, he is not being harmed. He, like pretty much every allosexual man on the planet, enjoys sex; he specifically enjoys sex with Sassy.

Sassy is not some conniving bitch who's exploiting or otherwise hurting Ted. She, like pretty much every allosexual woman on the planet, enjoys sex; she specifically enjoys sex with Ted.

Please for the love of fucking god knock it off with this "She should leave Ted alone!" Ted does not want Sassy to "leave him alone," as evidenced by Ted telling Sassy something that he possibly hasn't even told Rebecca yet. True, it's clear he doesn't want a romantic relationship with her, but that feeling is mutual, and they are still GOOD FRIENDS WHO LIKE AND TRUST EACH OTHER. There is nothing unhealthy or unethical about their relationship; just because they fuck doesn't mean they owe or expect anything more — or less — than friendship.

This show has been very careful to make its relatively few female characters into whole, interesting, and mostly good people (with the possible exception of Jane, who is clearly written as an excuse for Phoebe Walsh and Brendan Hunt to improv their scenes together and go hog wild). Disliking some of them is fine, everyone's got different tastes. But making up an entire sinister reason for Sassy to want to fuck Ted other than "he's cute, he's sweet and he's hung like a horse" is weird. (Aside from which, what... exactly is Sassy's nefarious plan, here? Having a satisfying orgasm or three?)

Plus, the puritanical thread through this is creepy as fuck. Casual sex is not unhealthy! One-night stands are a fine way to live your life! Fucking your friend is not inherently manipulative or wrong! Because I tell you what, if I had a friend like Sassy (or Ted!) who offered to fuck me when I was down in the dumps? I would buy them a little award that said "BEST PAL EVER" or something.

・Was he a prick when you first knew him? Fuck yes. But did he grow and become a better man? HELL FUCKING YES.

・You knew Jamie from your school years, he was always the prick, the jock who would tease anyone just so no one would see the hurt he endured

・You used to stand up to him all the time - putting him in his place

・The funny thing was, that later in your life, your brother was chosen for the Richmond team

・And you were forced to go to every game by your mother, and see your former bully play on the same team as your brother 

・It was such a weird situation, and yet you tried to make the best of it. 

・Somehow you became incredibly close friends with Keeley. She saw you trying to find the locker room, to wish your brother good luck. And you became fast friends. 

・Your relationship with Keeley became really important, and once you found out about her and Jamie (after they split up), you were shocked.

  “But, but you’re so - you!” 

“What are you talkin’ about?” 

   “You’re so ... gorgeous, and funny and open-minded...the complete opposite of Jamie!” 

・She just shook her head with a sad smile, “there’s a lot about him that people don’t see. Or understand.” 

・Keeley actually became one of your biggest shippers

・It was a slowburn romance. A lot of stolen glances, baseless insults and light-hearted complaining about the other. 

・Everyone could see it but the two of you

・And you both denied your feelings over and over and over again

・Even Coach Lasso could see it, and it wasn’t until Roy told Jamie to stop being suck a twat, that Jamie realised his feelings 

・Keeley gave her blessing, because you’d never go breach your friendship over a guy 

・When you started going out, Jamie did everything he could to impress you - take you on the most expensive dates to restaurants; one of his ideas was to take you to Disneyland but Keeley said ... that was overdoing it a bit. (She said maybe after a year of dating you’d be comfortable with that idea)

・You were hesitant with the relationship because you didn’t want an immature partner. But although he can be childish at times, he really developed as a person. 

・He’s accountable for his actions - and actually went and apologised to everyone he bullied at school

・You made him watch the Prince of Egypt and he response throughout was “woahh babe, babe what-” “um...why aren’t more people talking about this?” 

・And he basically cried throughout the movie, especially at the end. And then he asked what happens to them after they escape and you’re like ... “babe c’mon. It’s - they’ve literally written...”

・Calls you “babe,” “sexy,” “sweetcheeks” 

・Actually really likes the show Outlander, like ... a lot. To the point that he binge watched it and wanted to dress up as Jamie Fraser for Halloween

・You go to all his games (I mean...your brother is on the same team, so really two birds one stone, right?)

・He always spots you in the crowd (easily done - you sit where Rebecca, Keeley and Higgins do) and when he does, he blows you a kiss. It’s always good luck when you catch it and place it on your heart

if you're still doing ship bingo, nate/jade?

I know they’re kind of controversial but I really like them! I loved Jade and I thought they were very cute together and balanced each other well.

Sassy as coping mechanism, confirmed. ✅
