EY, there's a jjmarr version

(i did think they were the same height but i have Googled and apparently justin is one (1) inch taller)

[realtapiocafan]

ja'marr didn't even dance before he met justin

Toeleah is quiet and reserved, qualities that became a large part of Ja'Marr's personality. That's why she was so surprised to see her son dancing in the end zone after touchdowns this season, often celebrating in dance-offs with fellow receiver Justin Jefferson. Jimmy said they'd never seen Ja'Marr dance before. Not at family functions. Weddings. Nothing. Not even at his own high school graduation party. "I laugh when I see the videos," Toeleah said. "So, I'm just happy he's happy. You know what I mean? And I always told him, 'Enjoy it while you can, baby.'"

jjmarr and teemarr - in the words of ja'marr himself

y'all- ja'marr TRIED to make his relationship with tee like the one he had with justin. like you will not understand how utterly insane this made me feel. my mouth dropped when i read this shit. i originally put my Thoughts in an ask bc i was trying to finish it, but i had More thoughts. so.

ok, if you hadn't heard of ja'marr's recruitment, it's freaking wild (i had no clue ja'marr had a HOLE in his heart wtf) (also it makes my heart ache to hear ja'marr described as quiet and shy)

but to put the recruitment story short, ja'marr was the Guy that everyone wanted. florida, georgia, auburn, lsu -all of these schools were basically chasing this four star recruit down. he was that good and he knew it.

in the end, he goes to lsu and well. like i just said, ja'marr was the Star at high school, the Star that all the colleges wanted.

i just. i don't think he ever had someone on his level, you know? not until he meets justin at lsu. justin was probably the first wide receiver around ja'marr that could actually keep up with him. the first person who was just as good as ja'marr is, if not better.

this is ja'marr's first friendship with another elite wide receiver! and god, all they did at lsu was compete. there's entire articles about how justin and ja'marr used to bet on touchdowns and yards and basically everything. even with terrance marshall, ja'marr was still competing. that was their whole thing, their relationship. always seeing who's better, always pushing each other to be better.

above, i said baby ja'marr was described as soft-spoken (🥺) and yeah. it tracks. if you watch his interviews from college, he's quieter than he is now, still a little unsure of himself . i'll always think about that quote, that ja'marr had to start speaking up and demanding the ball because justin was. and once he started getting the ball, he showed everyone (including himself) what he was capable of. the confidence we see today? i think that's mostly bc of justin.

anyways when ja'marr got to cincy, it does make sense that he would try to go back to what he knew best, because again. jjmarr was probably ja'marr's first relationship with someone equal to him.

it just. it speaks volumes about ja'marr and justin's relationship. it says so much about how important justin was to a rookie ja'marr, that he was basically using that relationship as a freaking template. i'll always think about the effect covid had on ja'marr... the impact it had on his family... to be forced to isolate when he's basically been on a team all his life... to sit out the season and feel like he's failing his team... to only helplessly watch, all alone, as justin and joe ripped up the league...

(how much did that isolation affect ja'marr god)

justin was the first person that was on ja'marr's level, and he must've thought everyone would be like that. he must've thought that everyone who could compete with him, would want to compete.

so imagine a second-year tee in training camp, being befuddled and helplessly amused by this hyper and small rookie who keeps on following him around and trying to bait tee into betting on touchdowns, like wtf is the kid going on about 😭

then ja'marr has to slowly learn that. oh. it doesn't have to be about competing. not with tee. he doesn't need to prove he's the best with tee. he can just breathe. just exist.

it was important for high schooler ja'marr to have justin to pull him out of his shell, to give him confidence in himself, but it was equally important for rookie ja'marr (who just spent a year in quarantine and was suddenly tossed into the nfl) to have a safe space.

like, gentle reminder that ja'marr was being absolutely ripped apart in his rookie preseason (sooo unfair of the media btw he was a baby! a rookie! 😭😭😭). and everyone always remembers joe's press conference, but no one ever mentions that TEE made his own little protective comment:

imagine second year tee in preseason, who's walking down the hallway and hears sniffles from a random closet and opens it to a sobbing ja'marr reading mean stuff on the internet. and tee instantly realizes what's going on and ignores ja'marr's wrecked voice asking him to go away and just. sinks down and engulfs ja'marr in his arms and whispers that "it's all bullshit", "those idiots know nothing", "you're not a waste of a pick you're the best decision this organization has ever made".

and ja'marr just... folds into tee, closes his eyes and feels utterly safe.

(and when ja'marr proves everyone wrong, tee remembers that moment. remembers all the words that were said about ja'marr. sweet, sensitive ja'marr who cried because of those words. and he presses send on the tweet. the next practice, ja'marr is attached to the hip to tee and no one but joe realizes why. joe stays quiet but is pleased as a clam that his star receivers are not just getting along, but defending each other.)

i said teemarr is about comfort and i stand by it.

[chasedeys]

i've decided to lump all my shippy rpf au/non au thoughts together so. some nsfw btw, some non bengals, and like several ships you'd maybe have to brace yourselves for idk.

(also feel free to ask abt/share your thoughts on these or even other ships hehe maybe i'll get inspired! there's like 15 ships here goodness)

joemarr:

avatar au - airbender jamarr, firebender joe i knowwww some of you would think its the opposite but no i am finitely correct. the way jamarr would be bouncing around leaping around that man is an airbender!! not of the acolyte variety though 😭 while the deadset focused single mindedness of joe is for sure giving firebender hiding his scalding inner feelings. highly talented jamarr running away from the air temple in a very its-not-a-phase-nobody-understands-me-esque way and joe never getting the due diligence over his abilities in the fire academy so post graduation he's training hard under some obscure master (coach o lol) and getting outrageously good at his bending from sheer petty stubbornness and need to prove himself. they team up for that avatar korra organized bending fight thing i can’t recall and kick ass. and make out etc etc.

time travel au - old and greying married joemarr heaved with fresh out of the oven just won a natty joemarr. jamarrs tearful face clutching his ball staring in shock at ja’marrs unimpressed face clutching a margarita bowl in the middle of his and joes fucking kitchen. baby joes on top of the kitchen island bc somebody high up fucked up the calculations. older joes in the back trying to water their honestly dying plants. comfortable in their skin older joemarr reminiscing their years together tangled on a love couch while ten feet apart in the L shaped couch baby joe and jamarr red in the face just would not look in each other's direction like at all. jamarrs still clutching his ball. they’re still wearing their gear. joe would not stop staring at their gigantic ass framed wedding photo on top of the fire place. the emotional rollercoaster of being faced with the reality of possibly not playing together again steamrolled by the slap of imagery of them being married. being in one team. being a team. being more than what they thought they were together. and that time travel is real joes nerdy ass quantum mechanics enjoyer would be pissing himself in excitement probably. some crazy 'im gay for my qb/wr?' dilemma.

joemarr endgame with jjmarr fuckbuddies fwb extraordinaire :) except jamarrs very obviously to everyone but joe in love with joe, but he’s a slut (affectionate) so him and justin fall into bed very easily. one morning joe randomly dropping by jjs apartment greeted by justin making coffee etc he’s sitting in the kitchen island and jamarr walks out of justins room in just boxers yawning scratching at his belly with marks all over his body very obviously having gotten laid (pressing his hands against his eyes so he doesn’t see joe he just smells coffee and asks aloud if he can suck justins dick as a treat this morning lmao). cue horrific faces all around! cue misunderstandings! angst! why would you two hide this from me me! feelings realizations! tee having to suffer through joes breakdowns!! justin being exasperated through it all as joe be his stupidly loyal self congratulates him for his and jamarrs thing before cutting the man off by saying he’s in love with his coach fuck of jb fr. joe avoids jamarr for a hot minute before suddenly getting pushier and handsier with jamarr and that somehow leads to a cinematic fight and subsequent Great Big Confession in the middle of nowhere in a field of orange and purple flowers and green grass and hiding peeking woodland creatures and rain falling down heavy on them when they’re yelling only for it to suddenly clear and a rainbow to shoot right above them when they kiss end scene. cut scene to them sitting on a couch knees touching very bravely telling an unimpressed tee how they got together as tee shits on them for getting the flu of all things.

others (bengals/bengals or /nonbengals):

23 rookies poly - suchhh interesting dynamic between them alllll. drunken night of celebration of their touchdowns calling each other little tiny baby leading to chase getting spitroasted. waking up horrifically sticky and spent the next morning but charlie just goes right for the kill and climbs on top of yoshi for round four. social admins favorite targets yoshi and charlie being scrutinized heavily by the admins the next day wondering if they should be on that days segment 😭✋ (they really shouldn’t)

tee/justin - that one vikings vs bengals game where justin points/pokes at tee saying that his insane tuddy was crazy. that he was crazy for that one (it was. he was. tees sooooo). help me. help meeeee. (justin jamarr competency kink do you feel me) I’m thinking sonnets and ballads here guys they just talked and complimented each other for 1 (one) minute but I’m hearing wedding bells. no but okay so they just casually like each others posts and reply emojis to each others stories and start dming cute shit like hey heard u like this guys music or hey whyd u make a face like that in this one ad lol or hbd bro keep grinding or joe and jamarr said this insane shit abt u is it true or hey u in la right lets link up etc etc finally having each others numbers and texting near 24/7. joe and jamarr get suspicious when justin knows exactly what they’re talking abt tee when they have their random catch up sessions with him before it clicks like hm. theyd be good for each other huh. justin erratic yet pin straight demeanor vs tees calming affectionate accepting nature huh. both their outrageous babygirlism. huh. the two promptly get down to business (setting them up) but like all their efforts are literally already done by those two. making and faking cancelling plans only to find out they carpooled together and were planning on spending the night together anyway etc etc.

joemartee oughhuhguhhuhhh secret established relationship joemarr being disgustingly in love but nobody knows they just think they’re like that or like oblivious and bets running around if they’re actually together/getting together/Very Good Friends etc while tees Going Through It falling for joe that one year first (on no he's a hot jock nerd) and getting close with his paramour the next year (oh no he's a hot semi-stereotypical jock) and they're both just oh so sweet and just genuinely going through the wringer with these insane feelings and joemarr oblivious asses oohing and aahing and blushing over tee higgins crying as i picture this i lvoe them your honor. it ends with them holding hands together in the middle of their home field on top of the tiger print b logo (which they all were in college. tigers that is. in college. where they faced each other for a natty. crazy).

tee/tb - both too pretty not to be obsessed with each other tbh. the angst aspect of ducking out of the bengals is there lol but what i want is tb pure class of dining and wining tee higgins like he deserves!! except he’s also a freak so tees constantly getting hit with random sensual touches and the dirtiest innuendos he’s ever heard of in his 20+ years of living.

joe/evan - the afc smoooocchhh being all that evan could think about 😭 joe being absolutely enamored by evans competency and confidence (that guys crazy he’s like looks like we're going to the afc championship or smtg i forgot but joes smile talking abt him is burned into my gyri) while on the other hand evans in his head thinking joes with jamarr and like am i really going to go for a man clearly in with his college bf only to be bamboozled by jamarr barging into his hotel room one night and yapping abt joes adoration for him and how all his 'why doesn't he like me' woes annoy the ever living shit out of him so he drags evan to joes room and locking them in together (how he does it nobody knows)

bayou trio poly - THSI SI SOOOO. there’s actually so many thoughts abt them but i cannot for the life of me even begin to word them out. joe being very obsessed with his receivers is like the entire precursor to this if I’m being honest because this man just would not shut up about jj and jamarr like that one interview about olympics flag football and his first thought is he’s playing with his guys shutttt your faceee. but just him relentlessly pursuing his guys and them fucking with him right back and with each other is so <33

trey/ja’marr - this bitch/bitch pairing has me by the throatttt trey being outright fucking wooing the shit out of jamarr but also unable to keep his smartass comments to himself and jamarr getting his feathers absolutely ruffled but the wooing he’s actually kind of oblivious to is working so well 😭 trey making an effort to be interested with jamarrs likes interests and hobbies, semi perfect gentleman because again he can’t help himself he has to be a smartass, one scene in my mind i can’t let go of is of trey dragging jamarrs plate of chilli he was handed off by someone unknowing for himself and giving his own plate filled with jamarrs favorites to him and that shit flusters jamarr bad but trey just has to make fun of him for his anti chilli agenda. he complains to tee and joe they each have to hold his hands very gently to tell him that that giant man is trying to wife you up and the world rearranges itself in jamarrs head so the next day he flirts disgustingly shamelessly outrageously with trey who’s flustered as all hell when jamarr actually just puts his entire hands all over his belly and waist. tee and joe 20 feet away from jamarr shamelessly feeling his man up with hands over their faces because oh my god jamarr be normal would you.

mims/erick - i don’t actually know them that well but their one instagram interaction, the fact they’re both rookies, and their beauty compels me so.

keon coleman/ja'marr i know this makes ZERO SENSE but let me tell you something x3 😭😭😭 the fact that jamarr stingy ass follows him on insta??? from like a single training (?) session??? this notoriously unwilling to just follow anyones ig followed keon from when is probably the first ever interaction they had together????? adorable. both from nola!! keon being such a sweet emotionally and intellectually intelligent sweetheart people on tiktok calling him dumb just from the way he talks (sincerely and honestly, yall nasty people wouldn't get it) get behind me 𝖎 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚. no do you get me jamarr getting lowkey obsessed with keons cute ass funny ass 6'4 ass goofy chill ass self and keon slightly starry eyed at jamarr guahagauahuh hear me outttttt (this is literally all i have in me to say sorry)

others (non bengals)

micah/cj - i keep getting these twos interviews and events together in tiktok its crazy micah says the most delusional shit and cj has to stop himself from cussing him out in disbelief its sooo funny. getting ‘casually fucking’ from vibes alone, the sexy way they debated on an imaginary cj offense vs micah defense play in micahs podcast (?) was also very compelling lol. like cj definitely fucked this man from annoyance of his bullshit but also of his brain and also bc he's hot okay.

cj/bryce - watching glimpses of their high school (?) lore and now the black magic shit going on….insane….the angst…..have they met up or talked at all this season. what would they say to each other. the tender angsty horny aspect of it all. haunts me i won’t lie.

bryce/andy - the panthers qb disasterland angst aside, bryce went after that old man like crazyyyy. the ethics of fucking a much younger man youre mentoring whos looking up to you for guidance and going through a very vulnerable moment in his life while you're also weighed down by a franchise calling for blood is so. soooo.

fred/brock - lowkey into the 49ers but their situation rn is. very dire. i wish them the best truly. heal quick and completely. but freds suchhh a gorgeous man and all his mic'ed up moments are adorable and brocks lore of being the absolute last pick and outperforming the other qbs drafted before him just stokes the fire in me and theyre just so. the slight curdle knowing youre the last pick the sudden responsibility shoved into your hands the star player backing you up relentlessly. learning each others ways during training camps and on the road trips gradually realizing theyve talked more about anything and everything that theyve ever talked to anyone before, brock freaking the fuck out while fred gets incredibly down with everything etc etc

koc/jj - constantly getting the vibes of ‘he fuckeddd that old mannn’ when i see gifs of those two with jj just being 🥰😘💞🎀💓🌸💖💝🩰🌷 aughguhgh outrageous levels of besotted he’s WORKING he’s GETTING HIS MAN he’s FLIRTING hes using EVERY weapon in his disposal (competency, beauty, babygirlism, etc) you have to respect that shit. stupid fic idea that won’t leave my head is of them getting into a scandal caught by paparazzi romantic ass dinner holding hands and ending the night clubbing close but they really aren’t anything at that time but ahaha you get where I’m going with this right FAKE DATING!!! except this isn’t really feasible bc lets be real a coach dating his player = fired. period. or the player traded to a different team which. WHICH. but theyre both like invaluable to the vikings so they just go ok fake dating have at it (that makes zero sense but whatever). anyway super fun idea can’t lie justin upping his cutesy lovey schtick and koc quietly dying from it. joe legit reaches out like 'ur not being coerced or anything right' while jamarrs like 'get that silver dickkkk' (hes like 39 but whatever) etc etc.

stosh - i can’t say it. i just can’t 😭😭 the point is stef is definitely vicious as all hell and josh is rightfully protecting himself and post week 5 game they fucked one last time racing against time before joshs flight back to ny and there were tears bitten back words and just like a final goodbye for both of them. for good. forever. or is it. (it is.) (they still think of the other.) (josh sees the ghost of him in every corner of his stadium. in every stool in his kitchen. in every tightened smile around him when he says he's practicing throwing to a receiver.) (stef feels the ghost of his touch every time he throws a ball perfectly to a fan in the stands. when cj tells him to snap his wrist correctly when he jokingly plays the quarterback. thinking of faking not being able to throw just to feel his touch in a crowd of people.) also stef saw that is it in ad meme and has a visceral reaction he barely stops himself from tweeting heinous shit about joshs dick game

okay so brace yourselves:

lamar/ja’marr - LMAOOOO don’t come for me but jamarrs competency kink. the shit he said about playing lamar in madden. lamar being witness to the sexy as all hell 82 yard td and 70 yard td annoyance against his team and being driven to do SOMETHING about it. guys see my vision. see beyond team sports for a minute and seeee myyy visionnnn. but yeah that’s the thing that compels me abt them lol

pat/ja’marr - HEAR ME OUTTTTTT the sheer distaste jamarr has against the chiefs is sooo ???? them randomly meeting each other one day and ja’marr instantly has his hackles up -> pat responding right at jamarrs vibes and annoying ass heckling the shit out of jamarr (his intentions were playful. jamarr does not see it that way) -> ja’marr fight mode activated -> straight up making out and fucking dirty in the backrooms -> never speaking of it again. the narratives!! that’s basically it

joe/pat - lowkey compelling 😔🤚 just imagining absolutely disgustedly affronted ja'marr in the back as joe and pat do a shy blushy demure 4 feet for jesus between them vanilla ass flirting light hearted 'haha i beat you' jabs 'good game bro pal buddy' dance is so 😭😭😭 jamarr spritzing water at pat pushing joe away behind him 'really. right in front of my salad. get the fuck away i swear.' joe trying to advocate for his feelings while jamarr shoots them down saying thats the most toxic shit hes ever heard (its not even remotely toxic hes just saying shit) somehow getting roped to helping set them up and he burns (slight insane thoughts of him and pacheco working together and then ehehe etc bc of that one time pacheco gassed up the crowd to the background of jamarr Going Through It and like. pachecos fucking gorgeous yall look at him. pacheco needling at jamarr like ‘u in love w joe or smtg’ asking semi seriously bc jamarrs like super funny and cute and absolutely incapable of being chill about his team wow and jamarrs dying everybody quit asking if hes in love with his qb he swears esp this gorgeous ass annoying prick)

joemarrpat. no i will not elaborate. (dirty hate fucking. jamarr right in the middle btw shut upppppp)

ok bye

Ever wondered why he holds Tee so near and close his heart ?? This is why and the dynamics being completely different where Ja’Marr basically says he’s more relaxed and unguarded because, it’s not a competition with Tee 😭🥹

!!! I have. so many thoughts regarding justin and tee and their different relationships with ja'marr. i wrote a lotttt

ok, ja'marr and justin reallly were attached at the damn hip. we all talk about the handshake and the dances and shit, but like. they used to share airpods. airpods, for fuck's sake. and the slushie/icee thing? 😭 how many of us used to have dumb arguments like that with our friends? it's those little things that really define jjmarr for me, the things that you'd only do with someone you love.

all of that is beautiful on its own, but it makes the ending hurt even more, doesn't it? you used to talk everyday and do everything together, now you need to schedule around practices and time zones and it's so much work. and then you get home and you're tired and before you know it, you haven't talked to them in weeks.

ok, pardon me for going on a side rant here, but i did try to use the twitter interactions as like a microcosm of the entire jjmarr relationship, to show how a friendship that close can fade over time.

the first three tweets (bantering about practice, making fun of justin's first down celebration, sharing airpods) are all in the lsu era (2018-2019) when they were still doing dumb shit in practice and hanging out and coming up with their silly celebrations

the next three (justin rolling his eyes at ja'marr flipping, ja'marr teasing justin's attempt to get into the nba, reminiscing about what they used to do in practice) is set in 2020-21 (when justin was in the nfl and ja'marr was not). and you can see! they're STILL bantering. still making fun of each other with delight! but it's about what they used to do, not what they're doing now then.

then the last time ja'marr mentioned justin on twitter, was last year (before justin signed his extension and everyone thought he might go to a diff team). justin never responded (on twitter, at least.) again ja'marr's said a few times that justin's the one that doesn't answer his texts. while i take his words with a grain of salt, all of the throwback photos and birthday posts are from ja'marr. i catch myself thinking about justin's most toxic trait being communication all the time.

now, do i think justin is at fault for the 'breakup'? no, i really don't think so. unreliable narration aside, they live in different states, different timezones. they have different schedules, different practices. justin has a c, ja'marr doesn't (yet). justin is like, the sole Face of The Franchise, whereas ja'marr has joe to carry the burden with him. my point is: justin has a different life and different responsibilities and it's understandable that a friendship would fade under those circumstances. it's life. it happens.

but for ja'marr... you can know that it's perfectly natural for friendships to fade. you can know that it's not anyone's fault. you can know that's just how life goes. but it still hurts, because of what you shared together. the friendship was still there! the memories still exist! the love didn't last, but that doesn't mean that it didn't matter. it mattered! it mattered a lot!

justin changed ja'marr (and ja'marr changed justin!) like all friendships do and especially with college friendships. in college, we still have no idea what we're going to do, who we are, and that's fine, because that's what college is for. it's just... when you don't know who you are, how are you supposed to tell where you end and where your friend begins? (there's a reason why college friendships can sometimes seem almost codependent and why so many fade out. when you grow that close to someone, the only direction left is away.)

so, getting back to tee, anon. yes, i do think the past jjmarr weighs deeply in ja'marr's mind with the current tee situation. he's clinging onto tee with everything he has, because he already knows how easily his best friend can slowly slip out of his life. like arguably justin and ja'marr were just as close, if not closer, than he is to tee rn (ARGUABLY). and if justin can drift away from him... in ja'marr's experience with justin, once you're on different teams, it'll never be the same. it'll never be what it once was. so if it were up to him, he won't let tee go on a different team, won't let tee become a stranger the way justin has.

then the competitive aspect bc i DO also have lots of thoughts of that. above, i said justin changed ja'marr. if you look at videos and even tweets of ja'marr before college, it's like a different person. he just seems so much more shy and quiet in those old videos 🥺! a baby! i don't know exactly how to describe it, but he's definitely not confident the way he is now. i do think justin was one of the main reasons why this is the version of ja'marr that exists. there's a quote somewhere, that ja'marr had to speak up and demand the ball because justin was. because justin was there, ja'marr had to learn to speak up for himself and come out of his shell.

it's always a competition with justin and ja'marr, that's part of their relationship. maybe they'll forget about the slushies/icees, about the airpods, but that competitiveness will always be there, pushing each other to new heights. now, ja'marr knows himself. he knows the heights he's capable of reaching, and you can see that. would he be the same without that competitive aspect in his relationship with justin? i don't know. i don't think so.

but with tee, as much as i've compared jjmarr to teemarr in this post, they're two entirely different relationships. tee... ugh, how do i phrase this? tee's... tee's gentler than either justin or ja'marr. whereas justin's reaction to ja'marr leading in triple crown stats earlier this year was "don't count me out", tee's was "i'll get to tell my kids i played with a triple crown wr". justin pushes ja'marr. tee supports ja'marr. they both affect ja'marr, help him get better just in different ways.

jjmarr hits different for me, bc i just love that drifting-apart angst, but really, teemarr is so so very special. in lsu, justin helped bring ja'marr out of his shell. in cincy, i consider tee to be the safe place for ja'marr, away from all the cameras and reporters. it has to be a lot -the social media trolls, the talk show bs, even the expectations of the fans. i have thoughts of an overwhelmed rookie ja'marr being found and comforted by tee. because having that one person that you can lean on, that one person who gives you peace... that makes a world of a difference.

[chasedeys]

not the original anon to ur recent ask but… that post just made me go crazy for joemarrtee and lsu trio. joe is absolutely obsessed with his teammates esp his wrs. thinking abt that shirt he wore with tee tb and ja’marr’s faces on it. arghhhh he makes me go insane. and that bit you put on the whole tee’s agent situation🫨😵‍💫 and joemarr and jj… yeah they’re linked together forever. sorry im just insane rn. ur post did a number on me. so many thoughts.

side note has anyone made a name for joe and tee? and also yes to the tee and jj. yeah. okay. love ur yaps.

RIGHT????

I THINK. IT'S BECAUSE. joe just. falls in love with every weapon he's ever close to. just straight up grows terrifyingly attached and just refuses to let go. it's like he really can't he's sooo attached to everything of his past it's all in his wrists and his clothes and his offseason adventures and the way he speaks to everyone even when he tries to hide it it's also in your face that kind of paradox is so fascinating to me. and he's such a giver he gives and gives and gives and that makes them fall in love right back you know. and ja'marr is just. he has this incredibly ridiculous standards that is insane and only he knows and refuses to tell literally anyone and they're honestly impossible to reach but once you do you're set for life he takes care of you period he will never be able to be chill about you ever he will say and do insane things about and for you and you can't refuse for shit. that bit of devotion is just so insane to me how did he grow into this. what made him like this. while tee is just. he's a sweetheart. have you ever seen or read a lick of his childhood i shit you not that shit moves you you will not recover and after all that tragedy he ends up as this absolutely beautiful soul with such a beautiful heart and beautiful smile and beautiful everything it's no wonder his team and the entire whodey nation falls in love with him really. and justinnn i know he's like not part of the bengals but he's so intertwined with everything because of joemarr and lsu it's kind of hilarious. and the amount of talent in him is crazyy and when you find out his lore of like. not being Noticed as a good receiver and flash forward being The receiver itl? but just the way he speaks? he's sooo humble about himself but he also knows he's leagues beyond everybody else. absolutely compelling. gorgeous.

LIKE YOU CAN WRITE SOOOO MANY NARRATIVES AROUND THESE FOURRR and i have so many. so fucking many. any possible combination of these 4. even fucking jjtee that's like basically strangers originally. any possible ship with ja'marr who is my no. 1 (guilty sorry truly coming clean here ja'marr really is that bitch to me if it isn't that obvious yet lol) i can go absolutely crazyyyyy with as you can see from all i have written in this blog god what is wrong with me 😭

I ALSO THINK this is because. i'm too in love with them?? i fear i write like i'm in love with them. do you get me. like who even knows if they're actually like this. but i write them like this. and i write like they're in love with each other so. well. there's that.

AKFLAJSLK I DONT ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOUR ASK IS ABOUT IM SORRY I JUST RAN WITH THIS I YAPPED ABOUT THESE 4 FOR LITERALLY NO REASON

thank you for loving my yaps 😭 i just wanna say that like. sometimes i yap with just. no thoughts. zero thoughts. please don't expect much when you ask truly i don't have much thoughts sometimes really 😭😭😭😭😭😭 but do ask anyway LMAOOO i do love getting asks

oh ship names! like generally i guess? like joemarr, joetee, teemarr, jjmarr, jjtee. what's justin and joe joejj? jjjoe? jjoe? 😭 the classic joe/justin?? the bolded ones are the ones i use personally.

oh and ja'marr ships are usually tagged with <'> too like joe'marr! but may i have a very guilt ridden confession of just tagging shit as joemarr because <'> messes up the tagging system :')) like if you search up the ja'marr chase tag link there's the 'tagged/ja’marr%20chase' and also the 'tagged/ja%27marr%20chase' :) that fills me with so much agony nobody touch me please i try not to think about it too much or i'll try to kms ahaha.

NFL Tiers

@cazluvsu and @chasedeys did one, so i wanted to do one (and didn't want to do the stuff i actually should do lol)

it gets longggg

omg it's my team!

BENGALS (!!!): what it sounds like. they're my pookies <3. the team i hyperventilate over and has already shaved a few years off my life. ja'marr chase, my fav, an icon. won the fucking triple crown, opoy idc idc! joe! my mf qb and i'll defend him with my life. teeeeeee! god it's gonna kill me if the fo manages to fumble him. and trey! the lone bright spot in our defense, ahh, he tried his best! chase brown! heal fast and hopefully we grab another rb to split the workload. yoshi! great year for him, hopefully he keeps on improving! mims <3 <3 <3 and orlando! bright spots for the o-line! i think karras also had a really good year (just need to work on our guards...) jordan battle... i'm really sorry, but i cannot forgot that dropped defensive td. it's funny in hindsight, but i think my watch sent me a few warnings over my heartbeat at that time. i really hope cam bounce back next year! he was on an upward trend at the final five-game win streak! there's more that i'm forgetting, but i should probably stop here lol.

i'm so very fond of you

Vikings: oh Justin, genuinely pains my heart that minnesota sports team seem to have a curse upon them. justin deserves a playoff win! also never will i ever shut up about jjmarr and their specific brand of insanity. i really enjoy tell us with metullus and their defensive cellies were 🔥. camryn bynum copying the australian break dancer was gold. special mentions: white chicks, camp rock, parent trap, and high school musical! i also love watching jordan addison! hopefully jj mccarthy works out for them Lions: i love so many people! ah amon-ra! i loved his upside down celebration so much. sonic and knuckles, the nickname is so cute, i can't get over it. i love love love the dynamic of both people being Very Good at their positions, but Choosing to stay together on the same team (cough cough jayson tatum and jaylen brown). helplessly fond of jamo lol. the touchdown celebration was deserving of a fine, but like. it was hilarious. also dj reader! oh and i'm insanely jealous that they like. randomly picked up jake bates from the xfl who is turning to be one of the best kickers in the nfl. i was really sad when aidan hutchinson got hurt. hopefully next year, they'll have better injury luck. Commanders: jayden, jayden, jayden! oh, rookie of the fucking century. he will come back next year, i believe deep in my heart! and the moment that terry realized they won the bucs game, ahhhh, that was sooo sweet. finally experienced some postseason success after Decades of Torture. also i'll never be able to think of frankie luvu without That Moment. Bills: 0-4 in sbs and 0-4 against the chiefs, ah, the Curse narrative pulls me in. also my brother's a bills fan. josh deserves a SB idc idc. love james cook (even if i think he should cut his hair, i've seen so many defenders try to take him down by pulling on it). kincaid, it was not on you and you! will! bounce! back! i also root heavily for keon coleman! yet another louisiana boy! and i will forever root for damar!

your storylines intrigue me...

Texans: ooh cj! if you've been following my tags, you know i'm completely obsessed with jayden/cj (and jayden/cj/bryce) and IE shit. he seems worse than the clips i saw of last year, but how much of that is on the o-line and the horrific wr injuries? i want to see him bounce back next year! and poor tank dell. prayers 🙏. i think stefon's a free agent? it'd be interesting if he stays or. not. i also love nico! hopefully next year all the wrs will stay healthy! great to see joe mix thriving! and derek stingley ahhh! i really hope we see him and ja'marr interacting in the pro bowl! Panthers: ooh bryce! that video of him turning around before the td was caught, like steph curry's look-away threes -i loved that so fucking much. also as said above, this trio of cali qbs has my hearttt. the Narrative that when cj loses, bryce wins... oh that. the angst potential. and omg, xavier legette. he did an interview with a european reporter who def had no clue what xavier was talking about. ah, his thick southern accent <3. i also saw a video where he skinned a squirrel to eat it (yes you read that right) and like. what. Jaguars: go BTJ! been obsessed with their head coach debacle, hopefully it works out for liam coen lol. also duval is objectively an awesome chant Giants: go Malik! i do hope they find a qb... Ravens: divisional rival but alas i do find their players intriguing 😔. lamar <3. so fucking good which is. unfortunate when we play them. but fun to watch against other teams. watching derrick henry run never gets old! he just never! ever! goes down! which also, fuck this division -four of the opoy candidates (lamar, derrick, joe, and ja'marr) are from the afc north. i'm getting pulled into marlon humphrey's twitter. if there was anyone who could give ja'marr a run for his money as 'chiefs greatest hater', it would be marlon. also kyle <3. also very funny. who else... ooh zay! best wishes for a speedy recovery! Cowboys: really CeeDee is too pretty for that franchise. i suppose i also like micah too (is this a safe space to admit that i like ceedee/micah?)

I have history with you

Packers: dad's a fan and rants about christian watson's drops. i made a birthday card with a packers helmet one year 🙂. i'm also a fan of Weight of the Franchise narratives, and honestly it has to be hard for Jordan Love, with the legacy of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers (both of whom I Hate for different reasons but were. objectively. good at football). and Josh Jacobs 😤. very unpopular opinion probably and i'm probably evil for this but jaire griddying in front of justin... sparked some thoughts in me ngl... Niners: mom's a fan and I like fred. also i feel soooo bad for them this year. like it wasn't just injuries and whatever tf that campbell thing was, but some players lost CHILDREN. a player got fucking shot. a year from hell fr. Falcons: in fifth grade we had to choose a football team for -actually i forgot why. learning more about different states i think, being like. 10. i wanted the dolphins, got the falcons instead. i remember watching the falcons-patriots superbowl and when the falcons choked, well 🙃. i have a weird relationship with the falcons bc of that. i do think their socmed team is funny as hell. also jessie! keep on balling! Patriots: the Venn diagram of celtics and patriots fan is practically a circle so I see a lot of grousing of the state of the patriots o-line. do i think drake maye is the Savior? no, the patriots are kinda shit. but for their sake, i pray he won't be the next mac jones. i'll admit that i'm impressed by christian gonzalez. also sometimes it's fun to cheer for a team that has no real expectations.

I don't mind you

Saints: their cap situation is hell, omfg (my worst trait is that i take a sadistic pleasure in teams doing worse than my team). not on the team anymore, but lattimore-evans 😮‍💨 (hate sex. i'm thinking of hate sex). i thought the 'no murder in nola' for the two weeks the saints were winning, was very funny. Jets: that garrett wilson catch was insanity. the davante-rodgers storyline Intrigues me in so many ways. going to a loser franchise just to reunite with your ex qb... other than that and being amused by their inability to make the playoffs, i don't really have strong feelings on them. oh sauce, i suppose. he's funny! had a bit of a down year, hopefully he bounces back! Raiders: just looked up and remembered the black friday debacle ughhhh. we'll see if tom brady can save this franchise. afc west needs to become more competitive! i almosttt forgot about brock bowers but holy fuck, what a rookie season from him Bucs: again lattimore-evans... just 😮‍💨. also good on mike for getting his 1000 yds again! Titans: brian callahan good luck selecting a qb from this bunch. i also do root for tyler and chido! Dolphins: not fond of them on the mere fact that they're from florida (fuck the h***) but i don't hate them. i am so looking forward to the drama of tyreek trying to force his way out. also, their streak of not being able to win a playoff game is very funny, just like the jets being unable to get into the playoffs. fail once, fail twice, keep on failing (again, i take sadistic pleasure in seeing other teams struggle). i'm also fond of waddle from that youtube series with ja'marr and najee. Chargers: not the biggest justin herbert fan (ducks behind a wall). i do root for kristian fulton! and ladd mcconkey! Rams: i love saying puka nacua! and i am. so jealous of their d-line omg. aaron donald retired and look at them, fuck i want that for my team. Colts: anthony richardson saying he was tired was kinda crazy ngl. that's literally the only thing i can remember about them. that and drew locks legacy win against them. Seahawks: continuously baffled that geno's cousin is actually jeremiah love. genetics man. oh also! i like charbonnet. no reason, i just perk up when the announcers say his name! Cardinals: no one ever mentions them and for good reason. just as dysfunctional as the titans, raiders, and saints, but no one cares about them enough to bash them for it. i find that funny ngl. they're like the kid who sits in the back of the class and does nothing!

I hope you get relegated

Steelers: ugh, bumblebees. something about the yellow and black triggers something in me. i blame it on the divisional rival bs. sheer annoyances i can't stand to watch them. can't believe we let russell wilson drop 44 on us. 44. i do like najee (again bc of youtube series). i want to study george pickens like a bug. Bears: it gives me joy when i see another team doing worse than mine, but why the bears you may ask? one of those corners said shit about jayson tatum being benched in the olympics and in the following weeks, their field goal got blocked by the packers, vikings won in OT, and the infamous thanksgiving debacle. who said karma doesn't exist 😇. i do wish the best for caleb (those assholes making fun of him for painting his nails 😡)... hopefully next year, he just stops holding the ball so long... Broncos: no excuse for this one. i just get annoyed by them. also jayden is roty, get outta here with bo nix (that was mean, bo nix had a good season, just jayden has a historically great season). also the broncos game was so damn stressful i hold a grudge just because of it. we may have won that game but i nearly collapsed to my knees in public. i do like ps2, i admit.

I hate your fans

Eagles: I'm fond of a fair bit of their players actually! Saquon SB MVP is veryyy compelling to me. smtg about saying🖕to your shitty organization and then showing them how they fumbled you by winning a damn SB... idk what Jalen Hurts ever did to deserve the amount of hate i've seen. like yeah, he's not that good, but he's not that bad. i thought it was very funny that AJ was reading in the middle of a game and I saw a clip about his suicidal thoughts that fucked me over. I was crying. I find it hilarious how cooper dejean is one of the only white cornerbacks like. ever. Like the Rams d-line, i am very jealous of their o-line. Really, the Eagles could've been put in the Intriguing group -however their fans suck. Was watching the Commanders-Eagles game beatdown and there were some Eagles fans and I stfg I have never been so annoyed in my life. They get their own category.

i'm a human with morals

fuck deshaun watson

there exists a special place in hell for you

as always fuck the chiefs

Yes yes yes !!! Everything about this is so true and devastatingly accurate. They are two very different , but important relationships in Ja’Marr’s life and I can’t help but ache at how much he reaches out to Justin and not have the same love and energy reciprocated 😭😔

i am. so. so very sorry for how long it's taken me to answer this and apologies for the yapping (was NOT supposed to be this long but when i was writing this, i came across the most insaneee quote about ja'marr himself comparing jjmarr/teemarr and HAD to include it.)

i'm always a little cautious when it comes to statements like 'oh one of them was ALWAYS the bad guy', bc in my experience, relationships are a two-way street. i think that's probably the hardest part of rpf, remembering that we're only seeing what they CHOOSE to let us see. we see ja'marr reposting these throwback lsu photos, we don't see if justin is looking at those same photos on the verge of crying and unable to press repost bc he knows its gonna get analyzed and reanalyzed by the media (which is my headcanon bc i simply refuse to think that anyone can forget a relationship like that).

but Narrative wise, yes, the Public view of the jjmarr relationship is sooo heartbreaking. to be that close and to drift apart anyways... head in hands. just devastating.

like it's so beautiful and tragic to look back at them, bc you know. you know how it's ending. but at the same time, can't you see how much they loved each other? and they loved each other so damn much and they might not know each other the same way anymore, but that love is still there!

and then the jjmarr-teemarr comparisions 😭

ok look. look at this shit.

ja'marr TRIED to make his relationship with tee like the one he had with justin. like you will not understand how utterly insane this made me feel. my mouth dropped when i read this shit.

the thing is: ja'marr never had someone like justin before. he was always the Star at high school, the Guy. justin was probably the first person who was as good as ja'marr is, if not better. and all they did at lsu was compete. there's entire articles about how they used to bet on touchdowns and yards and basically everything.

so when he got to cincy, it does make sense that he would try to go back to what he knew best. it just. it speaks VOLUMES about ja'marr and justin's relationship, how important justin was to a rookie ja'marr, that he was basically using that relationship as a template. i'll always think about the effect covid had on ja'marr, to only watch as justin and joe ripped up the league, to feel utterly useless and alone...

so justin was the first person that could compete with ja'marr and he must've thought everyone would be like that. but here comes tee with his huge gentle hands and like, imagine a second-year tee being befuddled and helplessly amused by this hyper and small rookie who keeps on following him around and trying to bait tee into betting on touchdowns, like wtf is the kid going on about 😭. that's the image that i keep thinking about.

and when did it hit ja'marr, that realization that he doesn't always need to compete? that he doesn't always need to speak up and demand the ball?

and what was that moment like, ja'marr just closing his eyes and feeling utterly safe in tee's arms... tee's huge 6'4 body practically engulfing 6'0 ja'marr until it feels like tee's the entire world... i said teemarr is about comfort and i stand by it.

UGH. i have actual BRAINROT when it comes to these three
