hello everyone here's my very late and very humble contribution to swiftie powerpoint night

[blairwaldcrf]

Hold on, actually. Colin. We do care. When I was growing up back in Kansas City I had a buddy named Stevie Jewel. Now he was a huge Denver Broncos fan, but we were all growing up smack dab in the middle of Chief's country, so he used to catch a lot of guff for it. But me? I told him it didn't affect the way I felt about him at all. I told him that I 'didn't care'. And I didn't. But then he had to watch back to back superbowls all by himself [...] The next year he did the same thing all by himself. He must have thought it was good luck or something, I don't know. Because I wasn't there. 'Cause I "didn't care". But I should have cared, you know? I should have supported him. I should've been at his house both those years.

TED LASSO - 3X09

[everyday-is-uncle-day]

Not only do they not show Jamie’s goal 🥅 …..but focus on him & his reactions.

When they show his mother, she’s framed by pictures of him not as an athlete.

The balance is the key. Fantastic details.

Crooked Love // a Ted Lasso fanfic

There were four things that Kiara Otterly was certain of:

1. Tom Holland was the superior Spider-man

2. Taylor Swift’s best song was All Too Well (the ten minute version obviously!)

3. Coffee was way better than tea

4. She hated Jamie fucking Tartt

She used to hate him anyway. Things were different now though. He was different now.

Roy.

There’s a fault line along Jamie’s chest, the jagged edges splitting his body into two separate halves, along with a heart that hasn’t felt whole for a decade and a half. Roy meets his eyes and the cavern widens, Jamie’s sternum breaking in two. It’s no wonder Jamie can’t remember how to breathe anymore.

or: childhood best friends, a study.

Tessa Williams and Jamie Tartt in Let Me Down Easy - a Ted Lasso fanfic.

Growing up, it was always safe to assume that wherever you found Jamie Tartt, you’d find Tess Williams not too far behind him. The two were practically inseparable. Whether it be sitting together in class or training together on the pitch. They were the best of friends and that didn’t change even as they got older. Even when Jamie became the golden boy of the Premier League, he never left Tess behind. She kept him grounded and reminded him of his roots. Which is why she was the only choice he had in mind when he decided he needed a fake girlfriend to help his brand and improve his image. No longer wanting to be labeled as a fuck boy, he knew “dating” someone from his childhood was bound to help his image.

They just have to make sure that their feelings remain the same as they always have been, and nothing evolves.

Pretty easy…right?

i wonder if a lot of the ted-as-jamies-father-figure stuff comes from the fact that he's SO heavily contrasted with james sr anytime he and jamie interact. and then you get a two roads in the woods situation. on the one hand, compared to how james treats jamie, it's easy to think "yeah ted! that's how a real dad acts!" when he's doing things like giving ted the army man or being gentle with him in the crown + anchor. but on the other hand, if you get past ted's mannerisms and look at his actions/words, what he's actually doing is, uh, not great!

Excellent point! I very much agree (and it's super interesting that the vast majority of their interactions revolve around James Sr. on some level.)

@goodmorninglovelies42 said Ted sees Jamie as a son-figure but Jamie doesn't see Ted as a father-figure and I think there's a lot of truth to that!

(although personally, I also think even that is very much mixed up in Ted's own Henry & Dad stuff. IMO, Ted sees many of the boys as substitute sons he can focus on guiding and leading in lieu of his missing actual son [and as a way to work past the guilt he feels at leaving said son behind]. He isn't there for Henry but he can be there for Jamie, Sam, Nate, etc. Like, I totally do think Ted sees Jamie as a son-figure, but in a 'Jamie can easily fit into the son-shaped hole in my chest' way as opposed to like, something specific about Jamie himself/Jamie's personality that has Ted caring for him like and thinking of him as a son. If that makes sense? To me it all boils down to that I do not think Ted actually comes to ever understand Jamie on a personal or deeper level, it's moreso the idea of Jamie/what Jamie represents that gets into Ted's head.)

I feel like i'm at risk of coming off as way too harsh on Ted lol so I also want to clarify that I believe in all of the following:

Ted genuinely cares about Jamie and Jamie's well-being (as he does about all the lads). Ted's just genuinely a good person who cares about the majority of people, Jamie included!

The (terrible) advice he gives to Jamie always comes from a well-intentioned place. Like, I think Ted really believes he's bestowing vital wisdom upon him. It's just always...misguided. Because Ted does not actually know what works for Jamie or how to effectively help Jamie, despite thinking he does.

so much of this boils down to Ted's very real mental health struggles which are not his fault. However, I do wish the show had grappled with the potential consequences of his words/actions for others. Like... I would have loved for someone else (Beard) to find out what Ted told Jamie in Mom City and call him out on that being Terrible Advice. Because it's something the show never makes Ted reckon with and I find that annoying lol.

Jamie respects Ted as a coach and appreciates what he's done for Richmond. He just sees him as a coach/authority figure, not a dad.

@destage   :    no one has ever kissed me the way that you do.

kissing marianne had always felt like coming home   &   it was a feeling he knew he could never get tired of .   and as much as he made him feel safe ,   there was always something else about it too .   thought he was in love before   (   and maybe he had been .   )   but it hadn’t been like this .   nothing ever came close .   the light trickling across her features from the candles lit around the livingroom   &   the smile lingering upon lips and the way she looks at him like he is someone special .   but he knows it’s not for the usual reason .   knows it’s not because he is a great football player or because he has money or fame or     .  .  .     she see him .   the good and the bad and she still look at him like that .   tip of nose lightly brush against hers   &   eyes near close ,   hint of a smile tugging at lips .   something a little bit cocky perhaps .   because she is special and he wants her to know that .   how special she is to him .   how much he cares for her .   how much he     .  .  .     he loves her .   hand go to the side of her neck ,   thumb brushing along her jawline   &   there is another kiss pressed to her lips .     ❝   and how is that ,   exactly   ?   ❞
