a mini series of ariel, jamie & layla as text posts

[agir1ukn0w]

ok so I have just now finished ymata and I need everyone in the Mat Baynton fandom to listen to me very carefully:

✨JAMIE’S. NOT. DEAD!!!!!✨

How do I know this? For one thing, the way that his character has been built up over the whole season, not only with the son-of-god thing but also with who he is as a person, STRONGLY indicates that he’s not the type of character you can just throw away like THAT. For another thing, he’s one of the main characters, which should grant him at least a little bit of plot armor. And for a THIRD thing, THEY NEVER ACTUALLY SHOW HIM DIE. We see him crawling towards Rajesh and the cloud of ash moving towards them, just barely covering them. Right after that it cuts to the bunker where the last thing we see is Ariel smiling. BUT THEY NEVER SHOW JAMIE OR RAJESH DYING.

If ymata had been renewed for a second season, do you really think they would just have killed off Jamie FUCKING Winton? The Messiah (supposedly), the hero, husband of Layla and father of Frankie, adopted son of Paula, step son of Dave and (through her marriage to his biological father) Celine, future half-brother of Celine’s unborn child, nephew of Rhonda and Scotty, son of Jude and TWIN BROTHER of Ariel? Jamie is too damn important and this show is too damn good for them to have just let him die at the end of the first season. If there had been a second season, you can bet that the writers (if they had half a brain) would have made sure that he, and possibly even Rajesh, survived miraculously, and they would have revealed this either straightaway in the first episode or later on as a twist.

tl;dr: JAMIE WINTON IS ALIVE and he’s going to find his way back to his family if it’s the last thing he does.

my faaaaavourite movie

[demontoucansam]

OKAY BUT!!!! What if there was a My Best Friends Wedding AU where Jamie, the readers best friend for years, announces that he’s going to marry Layla. As soon as reader hears this, she realizes that she’s been in love with Jamie since high school and can’t let him go! So now she has 4 days to break up the wedding and steal the groom for herself!

[jamiewintons]

I can’t believe that yesterday when I answered those meme questions for Ariel I didn’t put ‘Meant To Be Yours’ from Heathers as the song I associate with him.

[pinketts]

Ariel is sassy and I hate/love it.

going sicko mode for a weird little british tv show from 2015 apparently because the "we had a game called Doofus" plot twist really shook me

[thornethepoet]

was thinking about how hawkwind/layla and ariel give JD and veronica vibes so i drew this 😨

[pinketts]

Just expressing my displeasure at Hawkwind/Layla getting to be with both Jamie and Ariel at some point. It's just plain greedy; most of us don't even get one version of Mat Baynton, let alone two.

[pinketts]

[the-fandomgremlin]

I love Layla too she's amazing but their entire relationship started on a lie. In all the years they were together she never even told Jamie her real name. That's not the healthiest way to start a relationship.

Hey, I was wondering, do you think Jamie forgave Hawkwind/Layla to quickly or was it justified enough ?

I always felt like she was just so easily forgiven for her actions. I mean she literally agreed to ruin her husband's twin brother's life.

Yeah, I often wonder if Jamie forgave her too easily. That's probably why I'm not that sold on their relationship. I like Layla as a character (the scene where she's in court and Jamie sees her again for the first time is AMAZING), but sometimes I think that Jamie loves her a lot more than she loves him. But then I guess it was in character for him to forgive her, because that's kind of his thing (like it took him five seconds to go from "I don't care about Mary, she left me in a car park, I just need info on Ariel" to "I can't leave her here, she made me 🥺")

The thing that really gets me with the whole Layla situation is that she said that she didn't even think of Jamie as a person until she actually met him, which I really don't get. I know Ariel was manipulating her, but she basically admits that she was a willing participant in Doofus, and knew that the end goal was completely destroying Jamie's life. I can't say for sure, but I think if I were in her shoes I would have wanted to tell Jamie the truth, like let him know that there's someone out there trying to sabotage everything he does, even if I was scared. I know she only left him to keep him safe but can he really be safe when he's completely oblivious to Ariel's schemes??

But I'm not sure if he would have ever forgiven her if it weren't for Frankie. Once he found out that Layla was married to Ariel first, Jamie was willing to give up and move on, so if Jude never told him he had a daughter, he wouldn't have found Layla, and they never would have gotten back together.

(Random thought: imagine how heartbreaking it would have been if Layla had never actually fallen in love with Jamie, that their whole relationship had just been part of Doofus and she was actually fully on Ariel's side, and went back to him after 'disappearing' 😔)
