#tagging characters after all because I crave attention more than I fear being pilloried in the fandom square

I love the season 1 scene where Jamie meets Henry Lasso so much because like. Yeah he’s good with kids despite being an incredible asshole and that’s always fun, but also crucially I think he’s currently being passive aggressively good to Henry and Ted is stood there feeling like a frantic teakettle because now he can’t finish scolding Jamie and Jamie has pretty much won their struggle by virtue of Henry coming into the room but obviously he can’t be upset that his son came in (at least now that he sees Jamie won’t be a dick to him) although he still wants to hurry this asshole away from his son (and this person he’s fighting with away from his son so he doesn’t show anger in front of his son) but he can’t do that because Henry’s excited and Jamie’s not doing anything wrong and -

I just think Ted’s head almost exploded in that scene for very understandable reasons that don’t feel understandable in the slightest and it’s delightfully layered.
