it's a tedependent song 🙌

I'll record a proper version of this soon, I'm just hyped and wanted to share it 💛🌻

This is not directly based on, but certainly inspired by number four was always you by thefaceofno, which is just the absolute perfect post-S3 fix-it fic. If you haven't read it yet, treat yourself 💛

somethingsomething "I don't know what your beef is with trent, but I'm gonna need you to order off the vegan menu right now" and "Tell your boyfriend if he's got beef, that I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him" somethingsomething

[mykonossalome]

so how are we feeling about the song choice during the trent finds out about colin scene? i mean there's the very obvious meaning of the title "everybody knows" but it's also such a pessimistic song with this "everything just always goes to shit" / "been there done that" vibe and maybe i'm wearing my clown make-up but that combined with the look on trent's face as he walks away makes it seem like he doesn't only know that this is serious but that he *knows* on a very personal level

next up in "the dots connect themselves" series: Paul Newman!

“Some men have a charisma that transcends orientation: Paul Newman, Idris Albra, Norm McDonald.” --Sam Obisanya S3E03

"But I think we can all agree that the Departed is not necessarily his best work. That belongs to The Color of Money!" --Ted Lasso S1E06

"Janelle was added to the story to avoid sexual connotations to Eddie and Vincent’s relationship" "As The Color of Money centres on an enigmatic older man essentially seducing a younger man into a different lifestyle, there is certainly scope to interpret the film as a thinly veiled gay romance." (x)

young Ted watching color of money like “I’d let Paul newman seduce me”

In the first few episodes from the second season made available for viewing, the series takes a turn toward another cinematic sports classic – “Slap Shot,” which starred Cleveland native Paul Newman. “Ooh, I love ‘Slap Shot’ and actually, just so you know,” Hunt said. “I'll be introducing to the room some notions for season three that are even more ‘Slap Shot’ specific, so stay tuned.” (x)

In his book, Paul Newman: The Man Behind The Baby Blues, he quotes Brando as saying, "He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to do it in the dark." (x)

"Thank you for your help, Trent. May a young Robert Redford portray you in a film someday." "Probably Dustin Hoffman." --Ted Lasso & Trent Crimm S3E04

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The uplifting lyrics describe somebody who overcomes his troubles and worries by realizing that "it won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me." (x)

which is coming in the next episode, sunflowers!

also young ted definitely watched cool hand luke with a bisexual gaze that movie is just so

(Such a film might've been equally homoerotic, though; with its nearly all-male cast full of soulful, shirtless guys caked in sweat, dirt and blood, "Luke" is one of the gayest mainstream Hollywood films of the sixties, and Brando and Dean were rivals in pansexual beauty.) (x)

i have this silly little undeveloped au in my brain that's just like. tedependent but it's the sarah jane adventures. sort of. not literally in the doctor who universe necessarily but like. local intrepid reporter trent crimm investigating weird shit except the local neighborhood kids will not leave him alone.

i have so many thoughts about this but none of them are coherent enough for a proper fic i think:

i just think trent being good with kids, generally. go mentor figure trent! (what this has nothing to do with my thesis what do you mean)

trent, like sarah jane pre-series, having a sort of reputation in the neighborhood (or in general, since i'm also incorporating his actual canon vibes/story) as to being standoffish, aloof, cold, etc., and generally anti-social, keeping to himself. and as the kids keep dragging him into things kicking and screaming he might also be dragged kicking and screaming into a community <3

if his daughter is essentially luke does that mean he adopted her under Strange Alien-Related Circumstances? absolutely it does, yes.

see i've got two great ideas for ted/tedependent. on one hand, although in the context of SJA/nuwho i'm not so much one for sarah jane and the doctor as a Thing, ted playing the role of like. someone from trent's Mysterious Past who he won't talk about who set him on this path? someone who was kind and wonderful and changed his life but then--at least it feels like to him--abandoned him? someone who made him a better person--from doing whatever journalism he used to do to this--someone who he's still kinda in love with... but trent can no longer even really talk to......until he shows up again? that's some good shit, not gonna lie. although i'm jimmying that into a happy ending somehow, goddamn it.

ALTERNATIVELY. henry being one of the Neighborhood Kids (as if we're using "canon" kids, we've got limited options) and ted being an oblivious parent. trent is trying to get these kids to STOP POKING INTO DANGEROUS ALIEN NONSENSE PLEASE THIS IS HIS JOB PLEASE STOP BREAKING INTO HIS HOUSE but they're stubborn and smart and they may or may not have saved his life once or twice and oh GOD THIS IS SO IRRESPONSIBLE but he can't just TELL THESE RANDOM NEIGHBORS about ALIENS. but like anyway this just painful secret identity-esque nonsense where ted knows henry's taken a shine to that nice journalist down the street and his daughter but does NOT know that henry is getting into Shenanigans(TM). this could lead into all sorts of drama about, you know, his kid being in danger... or, alternatively, ted has worked with some unit/torchwood-esque place before and is like OHH you know what? this explains that time i thought i heard you speaking an alien language. cool, cool. and trents like. .....WHAT

etc. i'm not wording this well but i think you get the idea.

if you really really wanted to make it complicated you could do both, considering the doctor's whole thing--either a fob watch or a regeneration--but honestly, i don't want to do that, so i won't

some of the adults do definitely get involved though. keeley either clocks that shit right away or thinks she's clocked it but she's actually clocked something entirely different. she's like i know you're mi6 babe ;) and he. is not. meanwhile roy having ten freakouts in a row and then being like nvm i'm fine with this. (is not fine with this, but will be eventually). jamies like yeah aliens. everyone knows about those. and they're like what?? no they dont?? and so on.

is beard an alien? genuinely no one's sure. he's not telling.

HOLD ON can i give trent k-9???? can trent crimm get a robot dog?????? yes please i think he deserves a robot dog

also see the trickster episodes? bet you could do something real fucked up with those.

i feel like i had more when i started this post but i don't remember

this not well thought out at all and i have no idea where everyone would fit in

anyway my point is. trent crimm, intrepid journalist, running around trying to stop alien shenanigans while Those Meddling Kids keep following him around. trent crimm doin a little Breaking And Entering. scooby doo shit. and he has such an interesting mix of seeming suave and badass and then immediately doing something embarrassing. trent crimm--via shenanigans and also Those Meddling Kids dragging him into their lives (aka he tries to keep his distance SO badly and only is involved when dangerous shit is going down but like then it's all. child knocking on his door like IT'S AN EMERGENCY OPEN UP and hes like WHAT WHAT IS IT and theyre like can you help me with my homework :( and hes like. fuck. yeah fine what do you want help with. (some subjects he's very helpful on others he's VERY not) until they're like okay but you're coming to this bbq right. and he's like? no? and they're like you're coming to this bbq right. and so on) ANYWAY the point is they keep dragging him into their lives and now oops! trent actually knows his neighbors and has to go through the mortifying ordeal of being known. but that also means that when he gets badly hurt or sick he's used to the empty hospital room but now he actually gets people showing up and forcing baked goods on him and shit and i'm just feeling a lot of things about this extremely hypothetical au based on my already existing feelings about trent gaining a community in s3/post-canon,

wait does this mean trent gets sonic lipstick? HELL YEAH IT DOES

[tinylilemrys]

I finally properly recorded my song Yellow Bricks which, while not directly based on, was certainly inspired by the breathtaking Number Four Was Always You by @bahoreal.

Because we all know season 4 would have to be Ted coming back home to London (to Trent). 🥺❤️
