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
