📓 give me a glimpse into ur mind

Let me tell you about the Greater Richmond Pet Acquisition (aka Give Jamie Tartt a Cat)

So it starts here with Jamie, having just joined the team again in season 2, and he is struggling. He basically blew up his life and its in pieces and he's having things that definitely are maybe panic attacks

He accidentally ends up befriending Higgins.

Higgins who back in season one through poor late Cindy Clawford's collar into the curse fire. Since then they've gotten a new cat (who i had the perfect name for but i can't find it in my drafts and my tagging is shit), and just like Higgins shows Jamie pictures of ducks and the memes his kids use that he doesn't understand, he also shows Jamie pictures of their cat.

So Christmas rolls around, yeah? And Jamie fucked up secret santa, and Higgins invites Jamie to his house for the team Christmas but that doesn't feel fair to the team

(and him and his mum are still on the outs, have been for years, and one of these days he's gonna be accountable but he's not so much of an asshole he's not so much like his dad that he'd just drop in on her unannounced at Christmas)

So he spends Christmas in Richmond alone with the bottle of champagne that he got at secret santa and it's brutal and he's lonely and he sees an ad on the telly for an animal shelter and decides screw it- I'm gonna get a cat. If I'm gonna be miserable and lonely like an old cat lady then I might as well have a cat.

So he goes to the shelter and he's thinking 'yeah i'll get a nice sleek cat one of those cool posh ones with the markings' and then he finds this ginormously rotund squash faced orange fat bastard and just. laughs.

His name is Big Ben and he's a surrender. His previous family up and moved, and they decided they didn't want him anymore. He came from a house with three kids (responsible for the kinda lame name) but no one ever really gave him any attention. He was kind of a nuisance. Always underfoot. Always yowling for attention. Too needy. They were a bit relieved to have an excuse to get rid of him to be honest.

Jamie is weirdly upset by this and can't pinpoint why. He gets the cat.

He gets a bunch of cat stuff - beds and toys and a robot litterbox that cleans itself - and he takes the cat home an he's like 'wait what the fuck did I just do?' Because he's never had a cat, or a dog, or any sort of creature relying on him to keep it safe. So he looks up Youtube videos on 'what to do when you've fucked up and bought a cat' and they're like 'well start them off in one room in the house' and Big Ben hates that.

It's a horrendous first few hours for both of them, Big Ben yowling at the top of his big unhappy cat lungs while Jamie is about to lose his goddamn mind, spiraling and on the verge of a panic attack because oh god he didn't just fuck up his own life now he's hurting this big giant fluffball cat the cat is crying fucking hell what do I do I can't call Higgins it's Christmas

So he breaks. He lets the cat out of the room and Big Ben barrels into his legs and starts purring. Loud. Like the loudest a creature has ever purred in its life. And he's looking up at Jamie with it's big green cat eyes and it's making little chirpy noises.

"You wanna hang out with me, buddy?" Jamie asks, and he feels stupid, talking to a cat, and Big Ben leans against his legs and-

-tiiiiiips over. Flops right over on Jamie's socks and looks up at him with his big adoring face like Jamie's the best thing that's ever happened to him.

Jamie could get used to someone looking at him like that.

if you’re still doing these -

🌹

Thank you! I am still doing these (and I'm always happy to share snippets even when I haven't reblogged the rose post recently). Since I mentioned the Higgins kittens in my last writing update:

“Here they are,” Higgins said. “That’s Tim Purry on the left and Olivia Mewton-John on the right.” The kittens were proper tiny; two little blobs of jet-black fur with huge green eyes — and, in Tim Purry’s case, one white sock foot — stretched out in a patch of sun. They were brave little things, too, scaling up the side of a cat tree that nearly touched the ceiling and leaping after feather dusters and kicking at each other with their tiny, clumsy legs as they wrestled.   “That’s fucking adorable,” Jamie said. “Er, sorry, Higgins.” “Oh, I’m not precious about swearing. Part of my job description is talking to Roy Kent, after all.” Higgins clicked on another video and they watched as the kittens — bigger now; it was fucking uncanny how fast they grew — scaled up the curtains. One of the older boys stood up on his toes on a kitchen chair to fetch them down while Higgins’ voice in the background fussed at all three of them to be careful. “They’re little demons,” he said fondly. “You know, after our Cindy Clawford passed away, Julie and I were planning to wait a few months before we adopted another. Of course, that only lasted two weeks before we found these little terrors under our porch.”  “D’you ever get angry with them? For fucking up your curtains and breaking shit and that?” Jamie asked. His voice came out weird, sort of shaky. In the video, Higgins’ son unhooked Olivia Mewton-John’s claws from the fabric and set her gently on the table, then straightened up to fetch her brother. “I suppose sometimes I am a little annoyed,” he said. “They did knock over quite a nice vase from my mother-in-law, and when she was a young lass, Cindy Clawford sat in our wedding cake right before the ceremony.” “Oh, fuck,” Jamie said.             “Yes, quite,” Higgins agreed. He turned to Jamie, eyes serious behind his glasses. “But that’s part of pet ownership, isn’t it? You get a lovely little creature, and every so often something you like very much or worked very hard on or paid a lot of money for gets knocked over. And yes, in the moment, I might be upset, but I know they don’t mean anything by it.”

Dearest cutest Demetrius Meech!

Hello!

I am so sorry disturb you, I won't bother long. I am sure you have a lot to do. Lots of things that are far more important than answering such a simple, unimportant letter as this one. I like how your hair smells. What I wanted to ask you - and you can choose to ignore this question (pleasedon'tignoreitIamsosorry), erm, is it true, and again, I am so sorry if this question is too private, that the male Gryffindor students like you, you strong strong lion, don't have a bathroom? Anyway! Who really needs to know, right? Certainly not me. Maybe, yes. You look great, my dearest Meech! I love your goggles!

Okay! ADIEU!

Cindy Haggarty Clawford

Cindy,

In short, of course we have bathrooms. As for the rest of your letter, I am a little confused. Why did you phrase it in such a way? If there is anything else on your mind that you want to ask, then please ask.

Demetrius Haggarty

*Meech once again remembers Theodora's advice about unwanted advances. He is too nonconfrontational. The Gryffindor sighs and adds the following:*

P.S. Please, refrain from smelling my hair in the future or maybe rewrite your letter on a clear parchment in the future? I can read what you crossed out. It makes me uncomfortable confused scared uncomfortable.

*In his true Meech fashion, Meech doesn't want to waste another parchment just for the words he crossed out at the very end. Instead, he dips the tip of his finger into the ink bottle and properly covers up his writing where needed. Unlike how Cindy did it.*

My Ted Lasso Re-watch: S1E6 (part 3)

Two Aces

Keeley makes a Pavlov's Dogs reference. But if the only good thing about her relationship with Jamie was the sex, then I can understand why she ended the relationship.

Keeley dropping truth bombs on Jamie. Because he doesn't recognise people genuinely helping him because his dad was always pushing him to dominate. He's thinks it all manipulation because that's probably what his dad does.

1st proper conversation between Sam and Rebecca. Sam just wants to do good and earn his fame and money legitimately. And Rebecca only considers joining midnight bonding session because how much of a sweetheart Sam is. I mean you try and say no to him, it's impossible and why the hell would you?

Roy is secretly a softie. And leaving home at 9 to move to a new city, yeah that's scary. I like hearing stories about Roy and his Grandad, he's seemed like a good figure in Roy's life.

Sam wanting to join the Nigerian team. He'll get there but isn't helped by one annoying, rich prick.

Richard kept sand from the beach where he first slept with a supermodel? Okay, you do you, buddy.

Nate values something because a girl was nice to him once. Something that probably does not happen all that much.

Rebecca putting in that day's newspaper because she is trying (and failing) to move on from her marriage. I say failing because people who do successfully move on don't plot revenge against their ex that involves a whole business being destroyed and a lot of innocence people getting caught up in it as collateral. That's not moving on, that's being a fucking bitch. It's all well and good saying fuck the haters when it comes to the press, but if her plan worked she would be even more despised by the press.

Cindy Clawford is a fantastic name for a cat. Sorry for your loss, Higgins.

Isaac and his duck pen is fucking adorable. Please can he have a new one?

They speed through the rest of the background actors, though I am interested in all the stuff they put in and why.

Colin putting the keys to his current car in, is peak himbo. Beard's question is valid. How did he get home?

Jamie joins in. His mum is wonderful, as we find out in season 3 and a better influence on Jamie than his dad. Jamie is the way he is because of his dad's need to look good in front of other people. He's not trying to get Jamie to win because he cares about him, he's doing it so he can look good and claim Jamie's accomplishments as his own. His dad's abuse towards him over shadowed his love for the game.

We never got to see what Ted and Beard put in? We were robbed.

Yeah, don't burn stuff inside, do it outside, and safely. Don't need anymore forest fires in the world, because I know that's been a fucking thing.

Higgins cares more about the team the longer he spends time with Ted. He might have been hesitant to go along with Rebecca's palm in the beginning, but after spending time with the team and Ted and Beard, he genuinely cares about them.

Dani is back and he's fine. Good, because I would go full Dean Winchester on any ghost who hurts Dani.

Jamie being the one to start the chant shows him wanting to be apart of the team. Ted was getting through to him, with Keeley's help.

Rebecca shrugging off the coat because she doesn't want to be associated with the team in anyway, and is off to get rid of Jamie.

The team is happy and and all seems well until Ted finds out what Rebecca did. And he is pissed off for the second time this episode.

Ted let's slip that he bakes the biscuits for Rebecca. I think we should have gotten a more shocked reaction from her. She went to lengths to find out where the biscuits came from and finding out that the man you've been trying to ruin has been baking them for you all along, that's got to be a bit of gut punch. All I'm saying is we needed a couple more seconds on Rebecca's reaction.

Everyone is devastated that Jamie is gone, because the team needed him, despite his shitty behaviour. And Dani is a sweet cinnamon roll to try and cheer up Ted, Beard and Nate.

fandom ask meme: ted lasso?

Yay! Thanks, friend.

the character i least understand: Probably Keeley? She has a confident stylish vibe that I'll never understand. Like, I'm the exact opposite of a person who excels at running a PR business.

interactions i enjoyed the most: ALL OF THEM okay fine I know that's cheating. Any scene with Sharon Fieldstone and Ted goes at the top of my list. I loved their season 2 stuff so much and I missed having her around full-time this season. I love anything where Higgins is awkward. Anything with the team, especially with Sam or Dani.

the character who scares me the most: Oh god, maybe Nate's dad? Or Jamie's? But I feel like Nate's dad has way more judgmental authoritative vibes.

the character who is mostly like me: Definitely Ted. With a little bit of Higgins, maybe?

hottest looks character: Rebecca.

one thing i dislike about my fave character: Oooohh. Dani used to be my favorite till I got really annoyed with his unquestioning acceptance of Zava. After that, he couldn't even win me back with his weird tulip enthusiasm.

one thing i like about my hated character: I liked that Nate's dad appreciates his music, I guess? Oh and I like Rupert's swishy Darth Vader coat.

a quote or scene that haunts me: Oof. Gotta be Jamie's dad bullying him in the locker room in "Man City." Also just, the last scene in the entire series and Ted's fourth wall break look to camera. Ouch.

a death that left me indifferent: Rebecca's dad, I guess? I was definitely more upset about Cindy Clawford.

a character i wish died but didn’t: lol I was so excited during that split second when I thought Jamie's dad died.

my ship that never sailed: Oooooh. Jamie/Keeley/Roy OT3 for sure. I would have loved Ted with Rebecca or Trent. Ted/Beard would have been nice too. This is more niche, but I always kind of liked the idea of Sharon/Rebecca. I feel like I need to come up with a good crack!ship to answer this. Zava/John Wingsnight?

[jamiesfootball]

Oh oh oh oh! I noticed you did not list the Jamie falling asleep 5+1 fic, does that mean the title is there??? 👀

And as much as I’m always begging for posts from the others hit me with some info about Heaven Sent a Hurricane and/or The Greater Richmond Pet Acquisition!

Yes it does mean that. You are keen sighted. The 5+1 has now been named 'I still feel like the same person I’ve been' and I am quite happy with the title (it works on every level I wanted it to!) Bonus: I think I may get into edits on ch 1 for it this week (pray pray pray I did not jinx myself by saying that)

Heaven Sent a Hurricane - this is my darker timeline that is based off of this idea I had that is basically 'what if Roy and Keeley never broke up, so Roy never trained Jamie, and then Amsterdam happened?' This one interested me for two aspects:

1) I love angst, and Jamie in the Zava era with no hope in sight? Endless possibilities.

2) The Roy and Keeley relationship, and particularly the idea that they would have to learn and grow as a couple but with the fun addition of the exploration of non-traditional relationships. Keeley is coming to terms with the fact that she may just be polyamorous, specifically in terms of Jack coming around, and what does that mean when she is trying her hardest to make it work with her boyfriend who she really does love?

In its original iteration it was a not-the-way-you're-thinking Roy/Keeley/Jamie endgame, with Keeley being poly, Jamie being aromantic, and Roy's poor search history being sacrificed in a fucking bonfire after all the googling he's had to do. But I also go back and forth on how much fucking effort that sounds like, especially since I would start in a depressing angsty place and end up in a somewhat crack-tastic place, so it very well could end up one series called Jamie Going Through It (Zava Style) that would focus only on Jamie and his mental state, and another series called Everybody's Incompatible Bitch; Let's Go Eat Some Fruit (Who Has the Wi-Fi Password?)

The Greater Richmond Pet Acquisition is that other damn thing I blog about that begins with Give Jamie Tartt A Cat but eventually has spread to me assigning animals to the entire team. The main story in this one is that Jamie comes back in S2 and befriends Higgins, who shows him pictures of the late Cindy Clawford, and then Jamie decides to go out and adopt a cat. THE GIANTEST AND FLUFFIEST CAT. PURE SEROTONIN IS HIDDEN IN THAT FUR.

It's positively fluffy (when it's not absolutely gutting you with feelings), right until Wembley happens and after his dad leaves and the hug is settled Jamie has a complete fucking panic attack that he has to get home now or his dad is going to hurt his fucking cat. At which point like, they got to talk about the abuse, man. Fuck.
