emotionally spiritually physically mentally supernaturally I'm still here

Ted Lasso’s all about mentorship, right? And different types of mentorship for different occasions. Well, we’ve had Trent as Colin’s ‘supportive queer’ mentor and Roy as Isaac’s ‘manage your anger and express your emotions healthily’ mentor; but now I want Nate to be the ‘do no harm but take no shit’ mentor for both Colin and Isaac. The ‘learn how to be a little bit of a bastard just for fun’ mentor. The ‘teaching you how to fuck shit up’ mentor. The ‘I’m proud that you’re handling public abuse with grace and dignity but also do you want me to kill that jerk for you because I will kill that jerk for you’ mentor.

Don’t know if we’ll actually get it, but I would love so much if Jamie’s arc this season ends up being he’s learned how to take accountability for his actions and do better (arc so far) but now he needs to learn that other people can and should be accountable to him too.

- someone finally telling him why he was really sent away in s1

- Roy making it very clear that Jamie didn’t fuck up his knee (cuz on some level, Jamie probably thinks that)

- actual resolution on the plotline with his piece of shit dad

- Jamie is right about Zava/the team and EVERYONE SHOULD SAY IT

We’ll see how it goes, but I have very strong feelings about how this could go

Can't wait for next week's episode...

[redshoes-blues]

To me the way Keeley’s bisexuality has been written so far has been so realistic. She’s making all of these blatantly queer comments about women, yet they’re treated as jokes by everyone around her, and most of the audience. Which is just…yeah, that’s exactly how it is. People do assume you’re joking if you say stuff like that.

It’s so wild that bi women can essentially be out of the closet, making comments about wanting to have sex with women, yet nobody takes it seriously. They don’t believe you’re bi unless you explicitly say so. I’ve been there, thinking I’m out of the closet making comments about women I find attractive, just to find out years later that those people thought I was straight because I didn’t tell them how I label myself.

Maybe this isn’t on purpose or maybe it is, but either way I’m interested to see what Jack brings to the table. To me it’s blatantly obvious that Keeley has a little crush on her and now I’m wondering if they’re going to go anywhere with that. It would be interesting if Keeley has a little fling with her, especially to see how people react to her bisexuality being “confirmed” — when really it’s been there the whole time but people just like to ignore it.

you can take the girl out of the clownery (the supernatural queerbait), but you can't take the clownery (being 100% sure my queer ships are going canon) out of the girl

manifesting for next episode

No, but what if Trent was still with his wife at the beginning of the show? What if he had already tried to come out to her, but she didn't believe him, and now he was stuck living a lie? What if Ted came along, melted his heart, asked him "Trent, what do you love?" and Trent asked himself what does he love, and realized that he needed to live a different, better life?

What if that simple question set off a chain of reactions that completely changed Trent's life, and, seasons later, now a different, better man, Trent will finally answer Ted's question with "I love you"?

Given that apparently not every character is going to be in the last two episodes. I wonder if that means the finale is Ted already back in Kansas and realising it's not home any more?

He goes to a sports bar and nope, the beer's too cold, the music's not coming from a busker. He keeps using the wrong terms, tries for a diamond dogs meeting but everyone is asleep etc etc.

Finally he talks to Henry who says he's still his dad no matter where. Then calls Beard and gets through "Does this place not feel right to you no more?

And beard immediately says "I have two tickets booked on the next flight out. Let's go."

And the show finishes full circle with them flying back into Heathrow (to find the entire Richmond team, Higgins, Keeley and Rebecca all waiting at the boarding gate with tickets to fly to Kansas).

I am on the clown train and it ain't stopping anytime soon, babeh

BRO WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK

[vrag-veshtica]

we finally have a rebecca who doesn't HAVE TO win and a ted who wants to START FIGHTING to win

[hacash]

Colin realising he can get Isaac to side with him on absolutely anything if he claims he feels he’s being treated unfairly because of his sexuality, coupled with a pout and The Big Puppy Dog Eyes; and honestly wrapping Isaac around his little finger is pretty much a sport to him now anyway

The team beginning to realise that yes, they are supporting Colin but also hang on Colin’s been getting first pick on team activities for two months now and is also the only one given dispensation to play video games before a big match, Isaac what the fuck, bro?

Isaac admitting it might be time to put his foot down after Colin uses ‘don’t drag me into your heterosexual nonsense’ as an excuse to get out of his turn to clear up after team movie night.

God forbid Dani goes off to play for Mexico and Jamie for England and then they meet on the pitch it will just be hugs and giggles and midfield platonic cuddles between plays
