Ted Lasso Polycule Explained

[python-nebula]

The four horsemen of throuples that should've been canon that contain an assertive woman with a strong british or spanish accent, and two guys who bicker a lot - one of which has dark hair - and they all love each other a ton + work together to help the world (whether that be through time travel, football, podcast crime-solving, or vampire hunting)

Ted Lasso: We'll Never Have Paris

[renatapatata]

so like whats... happening...

keeley x jamie? keeley x roy?? roy x jamie??? roy x keeley x jamie???? keeley x jack with a steel chair?????

[lokiiied]

ALSO just to follow up on the fact that keeley has been openly bisexual since season one and her relationship with jack is no surprise to rebecca or her exes!! rebecca showed no surprise when keeley told her jack was waiting for her with a private jet to go to norway (plus we know she probably told her all about the details earlier) AND more importantly leading to my next point, when roy said “i think keeley’s got a girlfriend” there was no surprise from jamie. jamie knew. because keeley told him she’s bisexual when/before they were dating. (and cuz jamie told her he’s bi too)

Keeley’s journey this episode played out entirely on her face in microexpression after microexpression, reaction after reaction, small bits of shame and surprise and pain and relief.

All I’m saying is that Juno Temple f%#king killed it. Give her all the awards.

[thepunkmuppet]

guys i think a trend may be developing

[twobrokenwyngs]

no but i just have to keep talking about it actually

because i am convinced that the keeley/jack stuff is intentional. she's broken up with roy. them getting back together now isn't feasible, because their circumstances haven't changed, and aren't going to change. and they keep throwing these suspicious red herrings in there, like keeley thoughtfully observing roy from across the room, or going on that soft little tangent about how jamie is different than he used to be. but getting back together with jamie would be a narrative step backwards for her. roy and jamie are the usual suspects, but they don't make sense.

and then... in comes jack. they have a literal meetcute. immediately, keeley is stricken into wide-eyed staring, breathless flirting, nervous giggling and rambling. they keep finding each other across the room, gravitating into each others' space, shooting each other these tentative smiles. keeley watches her while biting her fucking lip, for god's sake. it's being written like a romance. all the beats are there. THIS is the fresh start keeley's been looking for.

i'm telling you. if they don't kiss by the end of the season, i'm buying everyone here a round of drinks.

RJK 1 or JK 8?

"I want to hear you beg."

Jamie and Roy sit on either side of Keeley's dining table, as before. Roy's arms are folded tight over his chest defensively. Keeley's are folded angrily. Jamie is ragdoll relaxed. A year ago that would have driven Roy fucking mental, but now he knows it's just a put on attitude. Chances aren't bad with him that belligerently limp he could be even more nervous than Roy is. They've been sitting here in tense silence for- fuck even knows. Roy and Jamie have apologized, they've handed over their small gifts of attrition, and now Keeley is letting them stew. As is her right, after what they pulled last week. Finally she speaks. "I want to hear you beg." Roy doesn't... really know how to do that - isn't really sure if he wants to learn either, come to it - but Jamie leaps right in. His fake nonchalant air evaporates off him in an instant and he leans forward over the table with hands clasped. "Please, Keeley," he whines softly. "Please, we're so sorry, we'll do anything." Roy has a moment of surprise that Jamie has taken it upon himself to beg for both of them, but that too fades off in a blink. Jamie goes on and on, and the longer he goes the stranger the tone of his voice turns. He sounds like- Well, he sure doesn't sound like no one's touching him. Unsubtly, Roy looks under the table to check if Keeley has her foot pressed into Jamie's lap. She doesn't. When Roy sits back straight, Jamie has fallen mostly quiet again behind a bitten lip, and Keeley is looking with cool expectation at Roy. He shifts in his seat - uncomfortable in more than one way. "Please," he rasps, and his voice too comes out like the situation is different. Or maybe just... a little further along. Jamie makes a small, cut-off noise in the back of his throat, then lets his head drop down between his still outstretched arms. "Anything?" Keeley prompts pointedly. "Anything," Roy agrees. She smirks and gets up. "Well," she says leadingly. "Let's see what I can come up with."

Smut Dialogue Prompts

3x10, a mix of everything, part 1

didn't expect it to happen that fast but HELL YEAH. there's nothing for Nathan to do next to Rupert. Rupert keeps switching his lovers like socks while his wife is still at home with their daughter. come on!! villain arc for Bex and Rebecca when? when is Rupert gonna get killed die and leave Bex all the money??? and then Bex and Rebecca become best friends and raise a daughter together?

Trent being the heart of the team? do you remember how it all started and how wary everyone was of him? do you? it warms my heart, but it warms it twice bc of the clear bond we see between Colin and Trent. like, older queer with younger queer, helping each other out and bonding. their friendship does things to me tbh. it's so very important and intimate and—

in other words, representation matters.

yaaay! also, Trent <3333 again, this warms my heart.

sometimes I really have no idea what this season is doing. i miss them being a dramedy, not a full on sitcom. i'm enjoying this season, but sometimes it's borderline too much. it's out of nowhere and it's not necessary at all.

besties unlocked <3 Trent is such a sunshine, I love him. the way he and Ted share a raised eyebrows look. there is something so wonderful happening between Ted and Trent from the moment they met. it's like they're connected and are being drawn to each other.

girl talk, especially when it involves middle aged men <3 Rebecca as their leader is really something. i love it.

I think Rebecca is being mean to the actual devil. also, why do iphone users love their matte screen cover? why not the regular one?

Trent is so in love with Ted, my goodness. that cute smile. Ted is so freaking oblivious, I need the show to do something about it. i need Ted to learn Trent is in love with him.

this is such a nice shot. something something, the idea of press taking pics of Nate's gf leaving. which at first I thought was kind of nice, but then she leaves with a suitcase and it looks like a breakup of some sort, so not that nice. hm. still, the shot is pretty.

this is such a nice look & I like her hair a lot, but my GOD, how do people wear those minies? it's beyond good and evil for me. shorts i can kinda understand, but skirts? that's... yeah, no.

there you go Jack's "me and Keeley are dating" without asking Keeley first if she wants to announce it and then Jack totally ghosting Keeley. *frustrated high pitched growl* I hate that plotline. if it's their way to push Keeley back towards Roy bc she will no longer be that busy so Roy can't come up with that excuse again, that's a very shitty thing to do. so far I don't see the bigger picture of this. they've been messing up Keeley's storyline this season just like that.

"the board" oh, fuck you, Jack. (in Grace Le Domas' voice) fucking rich people.

Dani crushing Van Damme's chips is such a dick move, ESPECIALLY since you're trashing the airplane!! you're not the one who's gonna have to clean it up, you asshole.

can somebody connect this parallel for me pls? it's just within my reach but it slips away.

sooo, Beard isn't getting out of a toxic relationship? gotta say, this plotline concerns me. idk where they're going with it and WHY in the first place. Beard deserves better & Jane needs some serious therapy.

#fired immediately

I'm here for Rebecca standing up for herself against Rupert. I hate that asshole so much.

I don't remember, have we seen Roy's sister before? it's so rare.

go fuck yourself. yes, i'm quick to jump to conclusions and violence.

Leslie is NOT having a good tea time this season. let him enjoy his tea 2k23! however, the fact that he knows every friend Rebecca has. some friendship between him and Rebecca developed along the way since s1.

[toxicroyjamie]

When Roy gets around to apologising to Keeley, she should have been like ‘yeah listen, I’m seeing your sister. I was visiting Phoebe and… well she’s a really fit doctor’

KSNBCNNXSKKS..... it's what Roy deserves after that shit he and Jamie pulled

[swiftiefirefighters]

the queering of ted lasso, in this essay i will...

[longlive-verona]

trying to figure out why keeley keeps talking about jamie but won’t even say roy’s name
