Trent Crimm - Tumblr Posts

Laughing my ass off imagining that Trent asked Ted why he ran off during the match because he didn’t want to have to spell diarrhea

The problem with Ted Lasso S3

It doesn’t feel like the last season.

Let’s imagine Ted Lasso was like any other show, slated to keep running until it eventually concluded after 5 or even 10 seasons. If we as viewers knew this, would these episodes feel so lopsided? Would the missing thematic tie-ins feel so odd? Would new characters and plot points feel like frustrating distractions?

Even with the entire season written and filmed, Apple is still not letting anyone doing press for the show say outright this is the last season. Why? To make space for a spin off? Or....maybe this isn’t the last season after all?

Either way, it definitely seems like the writers room were given the directive to not make these episodes feel like they’re leading to an end. And they certainly do not. However the strength of Ted Lasso has always been the foresight of the writers. Every character, line, and scene felt meaningful because they were - everything lead to an inevitable end. Without that, we’re left with a show that doesn’t feel bad per se. But definitely off.

trent crimm, “the independent”. :D

such a great character, luv him

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! 💎

annotations being a love language for beard means so much to me, he’s the type of person to gift an annotated book to a friend

It's a nice touch that Ted's main feedback was a (thematically necessary, imo) title change, but I love what is implied by Beard's heavily annotated copy more. He really put in the work. Heavy annotations don't imply a lot of criticism even if that's what we were led to believe, they're a conversation between the reader and the writer.

Beard is a serious reader, but the show has shown us that, in some ways, he's a very shy man who struggles with vulnerability, hence being able to reveal so many niche interests and details about his sex life while being oddly defensive when someone asks for a seemingly innocuous detail like where are you from originally? Which might lead to other questions like, how did you and Ted start working together? And we know that this particular story is still a source of shame for Beard. That's why the annotations are great: they're not personal, but they're still a precious means of communication for Beard, and they're a safe way for him to keep a conversation going with Trent, which might be especially important for Beard with Ted in another country and Beard trying to navigate that shift and a new marriage to Jane jesuschrist.

Tdlr: Beard's heavy annotations in Trent's manuscript are his way of saying he wants to be better friends.

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

Since loving James Lance as Trent Crimm I’ve been scouring his work on IMDB and as far as being type cast, apparently in the early 2000s all casting directors really looked at him and thought ‘yes, this man is a slut’ 😭

(Context: ‘Teachers’ season 3 and ‘Absolute Power’)

Update: This is exactly the same in ‘No Heroics’ except now he’s gay and Spanish 😭

gay little trent crimm + his rainbow mug (let the good times roll)

I love how Trent Crimm is always wearing his converse. That's so cute to me. Always converse.

So funny to me that Ted, speaking to Trent, goes "yes sir" and then "no ma'am" within the same phrase

and then trent walked away from the alley with barely any reaction and without taking pictures or anything because he’s a homosexual himself and he’s no longer a journalist who only valued the story over the person and he would never out someone like that and in fact believes sexuality shouldn’t be a headline and it’s a red herring ending and they aren’t gonna do that storyline—

Me, sat in front of my computer refreshing ao3, waiting for the tedtrent fix it fics after the finale

3x07 of Ted Lasso was pure unhinged chaos for a majority of the episode and I loved every second of it.

Also I would die for Ola Obisanya cause he is such a breath of fresh air in a show with a bunch of shitty fathers (with the exception of Ted and Trent- we may not have seen Trent with his daughter but I just know that he loves her to death).

Edit 1: how could I forget about Higgens?!? From the few scenes we got of him with his kids, he seems like one of the few good dads on the show as well

I love him so much.

saw that little leopard print shoe stopping the door total james bond style and i FUCKING KNEWWWWWWW
