TED LASSO CONVERSATIONS THAT DEFINITELY HAPPENED OFF-SCREEN PART I

Roy enters and tosses a ball of red string on Ted’s desk.

Ted: Mornin’ Roy. What’s the string for?

Roy: First the lads. For today’s session.

Ted: Okay. Expound.

Roy: They need to fucking know where all the others are on the pitch.

Beard: Definitely.

Ted: Agreed.

Roy: So we’re gonna partner all of them up today -

Beard: Right, this is like that Japanese thing where soulmates are joined by their pinkies with red string. Right, Roy?

Roy: Sure, whatever.

Ted: Oh I love that!

Roy: But we’re going to get them to tie the string around their dicks.

Ted: …

Beard: …

Roy: (nodding, 100% seriously)

Beard: …

Ted: Sorry, Coach, did you say -

Roy: Their dicks, yeah.

At this point, Ted and Beard make hard eye contact, shrugging and mouthing to each other behind Roy’s back as he scribbles on the whiteboard and just assume that this was some weird shit that everybody did at Sunderland and Chelsea and hell, he must know what he’s talking about and they just decide to go with it.

Meanwhile, Roy:

I am a fan of the Mulder-Scully dynamic, and a lot of fans get a kick of how they are always in each other's space and have to be close to one another. Was this the directors making them stand so close that they seemed attach at the hips? You rarely see that in other shows if it's not for a specific scene or a romantic scene. I can't imagine that it was the actors' choice to be so up on each other all the time. Was it Bowman who said that he liked to frame their faces really close to one another?

If I recall, DD mentioned (on Kumail's Revival podcast?) that he and Gillian were told to always look at each other during their scenes together-- seek each other's eye out, watch each other, assess each other's opinion, etc.

Take it with a grain of salt, I suppose, because GA doesn't remember this. However, she's admitted to a faulty memory in the past; and David's little memory pearls (for lack of a better word) usually end up being correct.

Personally, I believe it. And after how many weeks reading all of CC's interviews back-to-back, I more than believe it: he wanted that dynamic, that unspoken connection, to be there from the Pilot. (It's also the one place he keeps returning back to when asked this or that fond question-- it means a lot to him.)

Speculation aside, DD has another interview where he explains Mulder's side of the MSR dynamic (interview snippet here):

Interviewer: Do you play it like Fox has impure thoughts about Scully?

Duchovny: No, what I tend to play is that I always want to check with her. Whenever I hear something interesting, I'll look at her. That's sexy to people.

What say you or anyone else? :DDDDD

augh but im not done what kills me (affectionate) about shawn and juliets development is that there are so many moments that they could have gotten together sooner had shawn been less than the man juliet deserved. if he'd pushed a little harder in the early seasons or ditched abigail when juliet asked him out or given in to his impulse to be there in person for juliet when yin took her, they may have gotten together sooner but he would not have been the man juliet deserved. which is why its sooooo insane and delicious that after passing all of those tests he still technically fails her so completely -- but you cant hate him, bc hes kind of earned the right to be called a good man, hasnt he? hasnt he????? (ask the writers and shawn of you the viewer and juliet. and you have to make up your mind for yourself!!!) (of course he has. because it's fake fiction land and he is willing to go to jail to earn back her trust like 2 episodes later. but WHAT a question!!)

Sam says “FUCK” and hits the ground when Jamie gets past him at training in episode 2 and Sam barely ever cusses… speaks to how much Jamie’s bullying was affecting him that he was so mad at himself.. he knew Jamie’s comment was coming (and he was right)

:((

[subtlehaz]

can I share something that might be an unpopular opinion? is this a safe space?

so obvs The Lawsuit™️ gets talked about all the time. and while I understand Buck’s thinking… do I necessarily agree a whole lawsuit was the way to go? depends on the day. but! what I wanna know that I don’t see a ton of discourse about, is do we think Buck forgave Bobby too quickly with the treatment he gave post-lawsuit (and the treatment that led to the lawsuit in the first place tbh)?

the whole reason the lawsuit happened is because of what Buck essentially considered as Bobby’s betrayal. we know about the Divorce Era with Eddie that happened BECAUSE OF the lawsuit, we know Hen was the only one to properly welcome Buck back with a cupcake and not really hold the lawsuit against him, but we also know Bobby was still kind of a d!ck and influenced the behaviors of the rest of the 118 after the lawsuit.

we really just see Buck at the hospital after getting checked out because he cut his arm saving those people on Halloween, and Bobby showing up and being like, ‘hm, maybe you are ready to come back’ and Buck is like ‘wanna get breakfast’ 🤨

am I the only one that kind of wishes Buck like. acknowledged Bobby’s behavior? like I get he was just so grateful to have it all over, to be back to properly working etc. but NOTHING?! I mean maybe he felt so bad about the lawsuit he didn’t care? Idk someone talk this out with me

I think we should bring back basic etiquette lessons such as shutting the fuck up when you’re watching a movie in a group that is not exclusively your friend group 🙂

realizing that it sounds kind of mean for me to be referring to this fic as the “cringe loser” fic if you don’t have the extensive lexicon i’ve created in my head for the lengthy opinion essay i haven’t written about how most people don’t actually want “good” autist-rep, they want “cool” rep even at the expense of ‘accuracy’. just believe me i say “cringe loser” with the highest degree of absolute affection

scott telling liam “you’re right. we are trying to save lives” in 6.14 when liam is afraid of going back to school after what happened to brett and lori… theo bringing up their deaths in 6.15 while trying to make liam focus on his own safety… theo also bringing up what brett and nolan did to liam after he did end up going back to school in 6.16… and then theo saying “you might want to remember what scott’s goal has been all along. keep people alive” in 6.17 when liam comes dangerously close to hurting brett in retaliation… i am dying to know what the thiam conversations where liam admitted what happened to him while theo was kidnapped looked like because obviously they talked about all of it at some point.

My writing slump is still there, but debating the angle of this with the canon scene of Meljay and how, if I want to divert from it cause I love the angst, but hat the execution so will flesh it out some more.

Yes, I will be writing their reunion and posting it before Act III drops.

i can tell you're trying your hardest.

i can tell you're trying your hardest.

HER soft words break the heavy lull in their conversation, surprising him ; lifted from his ruminating thoughts, obi-wan blinks at her, startled not only by her gentleness but by her reassurance.

" your faith in me may be unfounded, " he answers quietly, resting his elbows on his knees as if to retreat from where she sits next to him. glancing sideways, he barks a mild, humorless laugh.

" and, need i remind you — there is no try. " his impression of the ancient master, complete with a cautionary wagging finger, banishes the somber mood for a brief moment only. the heavy darkness wraps back around them like a funeral shroud as his hand falls, a genuine weariness lining worry-worn features.

" i'm worried for him, padmé. i can't seem to— get through to him. he only shuts me out. i don't want to put you in this position, but... will you talk with him? he might listen to you. "

miguel o’hara x reader (fluff) - call

miguel calls you because he misses you

. . .

“Lyla.“

“Yah?“

“Call y/n.“

“What do we say?“

“Oh my god, just call her. Please.“

“You’re in your office, call her yourself.“

“Lyla!“

Lyla scoffs, flickering in and out in a flash of cream and pink. Miguel rolls his eyes, watching as a module is pulled up in front of him.

Lyla flickers in, pressing the obnoxiously green “call” button on the screen as Miguel subconsciously fixes his hair. The screen starts to dial, and Lyla chuckles to herself. 

“What?“ Miguel asks, crossing his arms together. 

Lyla’s hand runs up to her mouth. “Pfft. Nothing.“

And with that, she disappears. 

The screen dials for a few more seconds, and finally, you answer the call. A video calling of you, looking down at at the camera on your watch. You’ve got your spider suit on, chaos seeming to be crashing in the background as you zip through a metropolitan city with your webbing. 

“Miguel, baby, you know I’m busy.“ You say, the man watching on his screen as you simultaneously glace down the watch and look back up to swing your webbing against random architecture. 

“I know. Sorry.“ He says, and you look expectantly down at your watch. 

“Did you need something?” You ask, and your watch suddenly drifts over towards behind you, an anomaly chasing behind you. 

“How long will it take for you to be back?“ He asks, hand slithering to the back of his neck. Even from the shitty camera quality, you can see the slightest tinge of blush on his cheek. 

You fight the urge to roll your eyes, sighing to yourself as you bustle through skyscrapers and towers galore. “Is this really was this was about?“

“Yeah, I wanna see you.“ He states. You watch as he starts tapping on the holographic screen, seemingly zooming in on a particular picture. 

You watch as Miguel already goes to grab his spider mask, clutching it in his hand while he taps at his own watch. ���Where are you, honey? I can take them off your hands.“

“It’s fine, Miguel. I got it.“

“But I wanna see you.“

“You can wait a little longer, right? Jessica sent me out on this mission.“

“No. I’m going out there, where are you?“

You sigh. “Fine, I’m at Earth-681, Queens.”

“See you in a sec, hun. Love you, bye.“

“Love you. Bet I can finish this guy off before you can even make it down here-“

You hang up, and the call screen flickers dark. Miguel yanks on his spider mask, leaping off his office until...

“Wow.“

Lyla sputters in front of Miguel, laughing to herself in a doubled over position. She flashes in a few more times, each one a different frame of her laughing. Miguel tries to ignore her, speeding up into a run whilst tapping at his watch.  

“You’re really that whipped!“ She exclaims. 

“What does whipped even mean?“ Miguel asks, obviously annoyed. 

“You’ll find out later.“

“Hm.“

“Oh and, just so you know. That entire convo was recorded. Thanks!“

Miguel groans, and Lyla vanishes as soon as she came in. 

. . . 

Miguel dives headfirst into the inter-dimensional juncture, leaping directly into the skies of Earth-681. There’s millions of skyscrapers below, all of them almost identical to any other Earth he’s been on. 

He webs a nearby building, slinging himself through Queens in search of you. His spidey-sense picks up, detecting you to be in his far right. Faster than ever, he slingshots himself through buildings, his heart quickening in his chest at the thought of seeing you. 

Unexpectedly, you aren’t where you’re supposed to be. 

Miguel pauses himself onto the head of a gargoyle, eyes flickering left and right to try and find you. You’re supposed to be hugging him, kissing him, teasing him about dates and what not. 

“Boo.“

Miguel doesn’t even flinch, but he’s more excited than ever to see you. He misses you so much. 

You laugh to yourself, taking a few steps forward to Miguel. He rolls his eyes, and you can even see it through his mask. 

“Haha, very funny.“

“I know, I’m the funniest.“

“C’mere.“

Miguel wastes no time, hastily tugging you into him by your waist, until you’re close enough to hear his heartbeat. You tug your mask off, revealing the face that Miguel knows and loves. 

Tenderly, the man presses you into a kiss, savoring the taste of your lips for a moment longer than he should’ve. You can feel the poke of his fangs on your bottom lip, and you yelp a little in his mouth. 

“Ah, I’m sorry.“

“It’s fine-“

And he a presses a few more gingerly kisses to your cheek, stroking your other with his thumb. His big hand lingers on your lower back, threatening to ghost his fingers against your behind. 

“See, told you I’d finish him off before you’d come.“ You say, indulgently resting your chin on his chest. 

“Can’t believe Jess sent you out here, on your break day too.“ Miguel scowls, “Wanted to take you somewhere special.“

“Welp, now I’m free.“ You shrug, and Miguel leans the both of you against the concrete walls of the tower. 

Something sparks in Miguel’s mind. 

“Hun, what does whipped mean?“

“Whipped?“

“Mhm. Lyla mentioned it earlier.“

You chuckle a little. 

“It’s what you are, Miguel.“

“And what, exactly, is that?“

“Absolutely in love with me. Like you’ll do anything, k’know?“

Miguel grumbles to himself, releasing you from his embrace. 

“I hate that she’s right.“

miguel gets jealous oneshot (same universe)
