once again thinking about trent startling easily
#so many possible routes to go with this#from comedic/silly (hes just Like That and its cute) to 😏 to agonizing angst#i wonder what like. people think about this? in universe i mean?#whether it's people he actually talks to fairly regularly (ted and colin and beard perhaps--or#specifically roy who's already got some shit to work through i mean#when he makes jamie flinch i think that's something he could see as like. bad and he doesn't want to do that bc he Knows#but then like. it's funny when trent jumps right? bc he's just that asshole journalist? even if they're cool now it's not like it actually#is harmful or matters. right? but then confronting that like contradiction of like. if it isn't funny when you make jamie jump#why is it funny when trent jumps? just bc you dont KNOW if he was smacked around as a kid? would it matter even if he wasn't?#roy dealing with his anger issues and his way of scaring people around him (even in small seemingly ''harmless'' ways) you know what i mean#im not wording this well but that's fine#or to go back to colin like. just ough. something about that one in particular gets me they've got so many parallels with like. becoming a#bully to stop being a victim? and like. i don't know) ANYWAY all that versus like. just. random players? that trent doesn't talk to?#isaac who reads body language noticing how tense and jumpy he can be (versus how his body language opens up and loosens around ted perhaps)#or just. again. random players! fucking. jamie. ough.#or even like keeley or higgins or rebecca#i don't know can you tell im still obsessed with pov outisder? i just think its neat.#and even like... before. like obviously this is most prominent in s3 when he's willfully taking off the masks and letting down the walls#being more vulnerable--because of ted or even for ted--and like. he's very used to performing the scary cool unfazed journalist thing#so not only is he not hiding behind that persona but he's also more vulnerable and open and therefore its not surprising he'd be more jumpy#but like..... god..... do ythink he was always a little jumpy he just hid it better?#do ythink in a room full of sharp eyed journalists paid to observe any of them ever noticed the ruthless trent crimm badly startle#at loud noises/raised voices/a hand to close to his face? bc like. he would try very hard to make them not notice. but everyone slips up#do ythink one of them did anyway? i dunno i jsut think ough#trent crimm#ted lasso#now this would make a good 5+1 fic but i do i really need another one of those?
