fic where losers on the internet start calling Jamie "Barbie" because of his hair and the fact he dares to wear pink sometimes, and Jamie is like Very On Purpose taking it as a compliment ("she's everything, right there on the box innit") and like he's not fronting exactly but it is clearly taking at least a little effort to not let it feel like the insult it's meant as.

until Roy gifts him the Olympic soccer Barbie + a custom England uniform for her. then it's pretty easy.

Lmao imagine for a moment being Colin Hughes, terrified that your teammates and coaches will hate you if you come out, watching as literally everybody on the team believes Jamie to be gay and have absolutely no bad feelings about it, like yep Jamie's gay, we've known for years, isn't that right Jamie, bro? And Jamie's like meee? 😳 you think I'm gay? 👉👈 I'm flattered! 😳 and you know that in that moment all Colin could think was "what the actual fuck"

the creators of Ted Lasso really said we’re going to make a football show using every rom-com trope and beat not about an actual romantic pairing but rather to tell a story about grown ups becoming better people through love, openness, mutual support, and therapy.

DID I CALL IT OR DID I CALL IT

Ted Lasso does not learn the difference between the championship and the champions league until AFC Richmond win the premiership.

Roy and Beard spend an hour attempting to explain to Ted that no, going to the champions league is a good thing, and it doesn’t mean they’re getting relegated again. Ted understands it about as much as he understands the offsides rule.

rebecca praising trent's girl talk skills and then later repurposing trent's most iconic line in the entire show to humiliate a bunch of crusty rich old men in the exact same way he said it way back when....I don't care if theyve only interacted on screen twice rebecca and trent are besties!!!!

okay but also the absolute king move of bringing home both of the people whose posters are on your bedroom wall home to meet your mom at the same time. no one is doing it like Jamie

if there’s one thing this season has done right it’s establish that trent crimm canonically loves gossip

[tedl-ass-o]

I wonder what he needs to get his hair out of the way for

[tedl-ass-o]

Sam: Can I share a hotel room with someone else? Bumbercatch has a really weird alarm.

Beard: What do you mean?

Sam: It's a recording of him going, "Come on Barbie, let's go party," over and over again, but he just gets more terrifying each time.

Moe: Tell me a single time you have been late when rooming with me

Sam:

Beard: He has a point.

the pub boys being Claire’s defense squad.

God, okay, I'm not over it. Next episode I need Trent to do something a little fruity (like, idk, stare at Ted the way he seems unable to stop doing?) and for Colin to look up and laugh because he Knows.

And Trent catches himself and smiles and it's good bc hey, at least they know they're not alone anymore.
