A Bit Different From My Typical Asks, But Heres A Hatchetfield Idea That Came To Me During Class.

A bit different from my typical asks, but here’s a Hatchetfield idea that came to me during class.

Okay, so basically, an interaction I would like to see is Peter going to Ted for dating advice and revealing his crush on Steph. Naturally, Ted is his usual self and starts busting Pete’s balls… but then it dawns on him, Pete genuinely likes this girl and is actually coming to him for brotherly advice. It takes a minute to collect himself, but Ted thinks back on his past conquests, his repeated attempts at starting legitimate relationships, Jenny… and when he finally sort out his thoughts, he actually manages to muster up some sound advice and words of encouragement for his brother.

Honestly, this scenario could go any number of ways, but I keep coming back to the cruelly ironic idea that Ted, despite helping Peter, can’t take his own advice and falls back on his usual tendencies.

I’m sure other people have had the same/similar ideas, but I just thought I’d share my take on the matter.

Really like he idea that Ted, on some level, knows that his usual lessons and techniques aren't healthy, but still uses them.

I think this is because Ted doesn't consider himself worthy of happiness, even if he doesn't know the whole truth about Jenny, he still considers it his fault, so he punishes himself. In his own words from TGWDLM, he refuses to be happy.

Another thing that might play a role in this is Ted's religious beliefs, I'm serious. Ted is a Presbyterian and takes his religion at least seriously enough to refuse to die in another denomination's church. I know this was probably written as a joke, as in "haha, the horny asshole cares about religious minutia", but it's really interesting to me.

I almost wonder if Ted is trying to redeem himself in some roundabout way. His projection onto Bill in that infamous rant, the fact that in Black Friday he spends his last moments trying to bring some small comfort to Peter and Charlotte, the two people he cares about the most. There's something there, a want to do something good, and also a fear of making things worse again.

As you can probably tell, I ponder Ted a lot, and I really hope we see more of his relationship with Pete in the future.

I know most of this wasn't about the ask, but I just wanted to get some of these thoughts out.

Round 1

Bout 2

The setup I'm getting here is that, Ted is in an off mood so calls in sick and spends all day in front of Inner Beauty Rhinoplasty trying to pick up every woman who goes in or out, but as one of the women is leaving and Ted puts on the Spankoffskit charm, Gerald also ducks out of the office to get some coffee and overhears Ted being gross, he goes "I'm not gonna let you treat my patients like that!", and just like that, it's on

Round 1

Bout 1

So, Mayor Lauter has just banned a brand of highly controversial toys that Sherman already has a complete set of. A full recall is being carried out, but Sherman isn't letting his collectibles go. He holds up in the Young mansion in a stand off until Solomon himself goes down to the mansion to sort it out, he forcefully enters and as soon as Sherman sees him, it's on!

Round 1

Bout 8 (final bout)

Out final match-up for the first round.

I think what happens here is that one day Grace gets home and mentions a scandalous encounter with a scrappy, college age faux-greaser offering to carry her books. Come a few days later, Karen encounters Ethan at a grocery store and he overs to help her reach something at the back of a tall shelf and when she gets a good look at him, she realizes he's the same guy Grace mentioned and it's on.
