I fully juuuusst realized that the gentleman that Rebecca Welton ends up with in Ted Lasso is quite literally a Flying Dutchman. Touché.

Opinion on public transit

Fantastic concept. Way too expensive in my country. My sibling saw a guy sitting barefoot with his feet kicked up on the other seat in the train the other day. At night every bus stop and train station turns into a PVP enabled zone. I can't speak for any other form of public transit.

IDK if Twitter’s r3beccawelton is on Tumblr, but their tweets are ON POINT (& also under the cut because there be spoilers & speculation...)

Squashing any doubts that crept in from that last episode by thinking about this moment in 1x2. I will NEVER get over Rebecca looking at the biscuits and then the look Ted shoots at them in response.

“You got some kind of food or something that can just teleport you right back home, make you feel all warm and fuzzy?”

So I seem to be one of very few people who got bad vibes from gezellig man.

From the “beautiful woman” line at the start, to chucking his phone in the canal, to the ‘accidental’ boo-boo kiss (there’s no way you’d mistake a grown woman’s ankle for your kid’s), to the ‘joke’ about drugging her tea, to the massive Tupperware of women’s clothes, to him failing to introduce himself, to him repeatedly coaxing her to drink alcohol (she said no to the brandy more than once, she said water instead of wine), to the “oh yes” at the end.

And everything else he said to her on the boat seemed a bit ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ - even down to the passive-aggressive “It doesn’t affect me if you stay or go” which has an unspoken “but if you were cool, you would stay”. And so she did.

None of this behaviour is charming, imho, even if the (male) creators of this episode want us to think it is - it feels manipulative.

Honestly, the only use I have for him is that Rebecca got her groove back a little - but she’s still letting the persistence of a man change her mind (cf Rupert turning up to the bar and Sam waiting behind her front door).

Combined with his dad jokes, his Kenny Rogers, his broken-hearted divorce, and the “fuck me” tea, gezellig man just felt like a parody of Ted to me.

In the same way that the Yankee Doodle Burger Barn was a parody of America.

Or Piggy Stardust was a parody of David Bowie (sorry Beardo - you know what I mean).

SHOOT, even Roy was saying Amsterdam was like a Disney version of an old city! (With apologies to Amsterdam)

Maybe ‘Sunflowers’ was all about parodies/bad tribute acts/pale reflections of the real thing!

PS I loved the episode otherwise, for SO many reasons (Colin and Trent! Roy and Jamie! Ted’s epiphany!) and the use of Brian Eno’s ‘Emerald and Stone’ for the Van Gogh scene was a genuinely beautiful moment that made me cry and made my husband very happy.

Round two: Gezellig vs Cafuné

(poll at the end)

Gezellig (Dutch)

Standard Dutch: [ɣəˈzɛ.ləx] West-Flemish Dutch: [həˈzɛ.ləh]

Translation: Gezellig is a famously untranslatable word. The closest translation is probably 'cosy', but it is much more than that. Whereas cosy usually only refers to a place or a setting, anything and everything can be gezellig in Dutch: a place or a setting, an atmosphere, a person, a group of people, an event... Anything you do, especially in a group, can be done in a way that is gezellig. Other ways of translating gezellig are 'convivial' or 'fun', but they also miss a lot of what 'gezellig' entails. Gezellig can also be used sarcastically: "'I'm having dinner with my bigoted relatives tomorrow.' 'Oh, gezellig.'”

Dutch is an Indo-European language belonging to the Germanic branch spoken by 16 million people in the Netherlands and 24 million total. Most speakers outside the Netherlands are from Belgium, which has a Dutch-speaking area with 7 600 000 speakers. It makes up one end of the West Germanic Dialect continuum. Dutch is also the basis for Afrikaans, spoken in South Africa.

Motivation: It is a word I use all the time in Dutch! I can never find a good way to say it in English, because none of the possible 'translations' actually say the same as 'gezellig'. The concept of 'gezelligheid' is also said to be an integral and defining part of Dutch-speaking culture.

Cafuné (Portuguese, Brazilian Portugese)

Portugal: [kɐ.fuˈnɛ] Brazil: [ka.fuˈnɛ]

Translation: The act of running your fingers through someone's hair in a tender way, usually massaging or gently scratching their scalp

Portuguese is an Indo-European language belonging to the Romance branch originating from Portugal. Due to colonialism it is the main and official language of Brazil, where 213 million of its 264 million speakers live. Brazilian Portuguese is considered a dialect of Portuguese as they are mutually intelligible.

Motivation 1: It can be platonic! It can be romantic! It's a cute thing!

Motivation 2: vsjsh affection....... 💞💞 it’s a very sweet gesture it’s very nice and comforting and makes you feel safe

Note: There were two submissions for this word, one in each dialect. Since it’s the same word but with slight pronunciation differences they will compete together
