Roy Kent - Tumblr Posts
If the idea of Jamie falling in love with Roy’s sister and literally becoming part of his family doesn’t make you feel like a helium balloon...
For folks frustrated by Ted going back to Kansas, it might be helpful to think about this story within the framework of the hero’s journey
There always has to be the return, to go back to the start BUT go back completely changed. Why is it the hero must always return? Why has this story structure existed across cultures and the world for thousands of years? Many answers but...I think in life we can transform and grow meet new people and lovers and the most beautiful thing is we can never lose those things. Ever. Even when we go back to the beginning. It will never be a reset. It will always be a new beginning.

Ted Lasso Polycule Explained

i need to read the “very brief foreword” from roy like it’s very necessary
THE LASSO WAY. THE RICHMOND WAY.
💎 Time to round up the Diamond Dogs! 💎
i love roy kent because he's so sad he just wants to play football he just wants to be around his girlfriend 24/7 he just wants to feel needed. he's angry and sad and he loves so much but he's scared of being left behind so he leaves everything before they can abandon him. he's so caught up on it being what's best for them that he doesn't consider what they actually want. he's such a complex character. he's childish and immature when he's upset and he's scared of most people seeing the real him. he's so so sad i love him so so dearly (also he's hot :)
Roy, yelling more profusely and sadistically than normal
Isaac: what crawled up his arse and died there?
Dani: maybe he is cranky because he hasnt been sleeping
Colin: no, no he has a very strict sleep schedule. I once texted him at 8pm and he didn't answer for two days
Jan: he needs to have sex
Everyone: what the hell jan maas
Jan: it is statistically proven that lack of intimacy results in irritable mood and coach kent has not been intimate with anyone since keeley
(Colin: how do you know that)
Jamie: i'll do it
Everyone: what the hell jamie
Jamie: no, i'll take one for the team yeah? I'll have sex with coach
Sam: literally no one is asking you to do this
Jamie: I'll be the sacred fish or lamb. For all of our sakes
Everyone: the what
i love how the in the royjamiekeeley dynamic keeley and jamie are like barbie and ken and roy is the gi joe/action man you used as a love interest
it’s a real serious need for brett goldstein to grow out his hair again
In all seriousness when is Roy bringing back this hair because he’s genuinely never looked hotter
roy and jamie’s entire relationship is funnier if you pretend they hooked up once before jamie came to richmond and they have to act like it didn’t happen
“no, roy doesn’t like me like that.” jamie insists while the team is at the bar. “roy hates me still. love ain’t on the table.”
everyone shares a glance, unable to really believe that.
isaac watched as jamie wordlessly walked over to where roy was eating lunch and handed over his clementines. roy peeled them without breaking conversation with beard and nate, going so far as to peel the little white bits off too before handing the clementine back. everyday jamie does that, and everyday roy peels them without complaint. if that’s not love, isaac doesn’t know what is.
sam overheard as jamie talked for several minutes about something so random and inconsequential to their daily lives, but roy listened. he didn’t say a word, didn’t interrupt other than to add a little tidbit of his own to the story. there was a small smile on the corner of his lips and his eyes were bright. it didn’t matter how boring the topic was, roy wanted to hear it. if that’s not love, sam doesn’t know what is.
the whole team witnessed roy coming into the locker room before training and saw jamie wasn’t there. they all watched as roy began to pace around his office, head down and not speaking to anyone. that is, until jamie came strolling into the locker room a minute before training started, drinks in his hand; one for him and one for roy. jamie knows roy’s coffee order by heart. if that’s not love, the team doesn’t know what is.
keeley pointed out that whenever roy says something that causes the team to laugh, he always looks at jamie to see if he’s laughing. if jamie’s not, roy adds to the joke until he does. if that’s not love, she doesn’t know what is.
“and,” jan says pointedly. “the two of you were kissing in the boot room yesterday.”
“yeah, out of hate!” jamie defends even when everyone starts laughing uncontrollably.
I have never done a Ted lasso post despite the fact that when I first made my tumblr this was like, the first fandom I was apart of lol. But! I’m so fucking pumped for season 4, I really feel like the finale just didn’t do it justice fully for the show. Some thoughts I have so far:
I would love to see keeley, Jamie, and Roy be a thing but realistically probably not. Especially if it’s stays true that Phil Dunster will be too busy. But I hope they’ll repair Roy and keeley and Jamie and keeley relationship after the weird and awkward fight they threw in. I personally always thought that was a hamfisted ending for them, not to say people can’t relapse into old toxic behaviors but I just felt it was a lazy and overdone trope to end or have a conclusion to a love triangle
Speaking of, it’s still possible Phil dunster could reprise his role, everything is still be worked out and nothing is too set in stone. Hell, an actual season is not set in stone. I would be greatly disappointed if he couldn’t be in it, it wouldn’t feel the same. But if he can’t, at the very least I want a good reason and some cameos, over FaceTime if they have to.
Which brings me to Ted, idk if he’s actually going to be fully in it or just over zoom or something? Is he fully coming back? It would be interesting if they do something similar to the plethora of fanfics of Ted getting hit with mental health issues because “home” doesn’t feel like home anymore and causing conflict in his life and moving back with Henry. Adding to that, I want the ex wife (can’t remember her name rn and I have too much energy to look it up) to break up with the fucking therapist. Dump! That! Man! I don’t want them to get back together, I just want her away from that fucking unethical creep and move to England for her son. But maybe that’s wishful thinking.
Speaking of break ups, break up Beard and Jane. Point blank. One of the worst relationships in the show, toxic as fuck, and Beard deserves better. And get that man some therapy too
I also would like to see Roy’s progress with therapy on top of that. And more keeley with the crew again, I always wished she was included more in the show and not on a side quest. Bring her more in the fold again
We better see Trent Crimm, you can pry that man from my cold dead hands
Seeing Ted get in a new relationship could be fun since I think it’s been long enough distance and he’s grown enough for that. But tbh, I don’t care if Rebecca and Ted get together, I like seeing a platonic hetero friendship that doesn’t need to automatically be romantic. Sometimes people can vibe and just be friends and I always liked that about Ted and Rebecca. But I’m not opposed either if they write it well. Though I highly doubt they’d go down that route since they built up to the Dutch guy and with Rebecca possibly developing a relationship with his daughter, it’d be kind of heartbreaking if they breakup just to put her with Ted. So, if they don’t go the Ted and Rebecca route, I hope we see her relationship more and the daughter
More of Roy’s sister please, I love her. Also more Phoebe
Would love some of the other footballers get to shine. Want to see the women’s league. Love to see Roy struggling with being a new coach
Would like to learn Roy’s family situation since I feel like that’s an untapped well for trauma and issues that probably created and contributed to his anger issues
And I think as a final thing to this long ass post, I’d like to see the after affects of Collin essentially coming out and being the first openly gay player while playing in the league. People had to have seen him kiss his partner and while it was happy, it’s also going to open a floodgate so I hope we get to see that properly addressed and well written
I’ve decided to allocate each character of ted lasso a pet , I’m starting with the main team players but I plan to do all characters, including Higgins, Rebecca, Keeley etc, and I don’t want to go with the generic combinations, so if anyone has any thoughts of who should have what pet, the inspo would be appreciated.
