RoyJamie Writing Challenges and Hangout

Come say hi, hang out, chat about your favourite blorbos, join our Ted Lasso Watch Parties, watch 9-1-1 with us, join livestreams of other Ted Lasso actor projects (Superbob, Pink Mist, Strike Back, what have you).

We have a neat 'Fix that old man' writing challenge going on right now too: 

The rules are simple: 

1) The central theme of the fic needs to revolve around Roy finally having his knee surgery, but what you do with it is up to you!

- Whether it's Roy and Jamie have steaming hot sex in that hospital bed, Roy having an anaesthesia-induced nightmare, heartbreaking hurt/comfort, or the sweetest caretaker fluff ever, that's all up to you, so long as it revolves around fixing that old man. 

2) Minimum word count: 2,500 words 

3) The fic must be completed by 19 May 2024

The response has been beautiful - like I can’t tell you how many wonderful messages I received from people who are openly queer and people who are not openly queer, which has been really amazing for me to see. I’ve received messages from firefighters who have said, “I’m not out and seeing this means the world to me.” I could never in a million years of expected to be getting those messages, so it’s very humbling and just a really amazing experience for me to get to be a part of that.

This is the end of the Wembley locker room scene in Man City, without music

Like when the camera is on Ted just before he walks out, you could hear Jamie sobs even harder

(but you obviously have to turn the volume up and press the sound to your ear but still)

Social media headcanons for Ted Lasso (taken from a prompt on Twitter).

Jamie, Keeley, and Roy all have official instagrams. Roy does not have the password to his account; just Keeley. Roy doesn’t want the password, and if she’s being honest, Keeley doesn’t trust him with it anyway.

All three also have finstas, but Roy only uses it to follow Jamie and Keeley.

Roy used to have a Twitter account, but he called Elon Musk a racist cunt who didn’t know his arse from his elbow, and then he got banned. Keeley can’t even blame him really.

Jamie has a TikTok and it stresses Keeley out to no end because that’s where he posts his most unhinged shit. Roy knows it exists and that he sometimes features in it, but he refuses to engage.

Jamie also has a burner Reddit account that he only uses to sock puppet in the football RPF threads. It brings him no end of joy. When he’s bored, he drops bits of RoyJamie RPF fic. It’s *extremely* filthy.

A murder mystery film set in a medieval village. After an outbreak of plague, the villagers make the decision to shut their borders so as to protect the disease from spreading (see the real life case of the village of Eyam). As the disease decimates the population, however, some bodies start showing up that very obviously were not killed by plague.

Since nobody has been in or out since the outbreak began, the killer has to be somebody in the local community.

The village constable (who is essentially just Some Guy, because being a medieval constable was a bit like getting jury duty, if jury duty gave you the power to arrest people) struggles to investigate the crime without exposing himself to the disease, and to maintain order as the plague-stricken villagers begin to turn on each other.

The killer strikes repeatedly, seemingly taking advantage of the empty streets and forced isolation to strike without witnesses. As with any other murder mystery, the audience is given exactly the same information to solve the crime as the detective.

Except, that is, whenever another character is killed, at which point we cut to the present day where said character's remains are being carefully examined by a team of modern archaeologists and historians who are also trying to figure out why so many of the people in this plague-pit died from blunt force trauma.

The archaeologists and historians, btw, are real experts who haven't been allowed to read the script. The filmmakers just give them a model of the victim's remains, along with some artefacts, and they have to treat it like a real case and give their real opinion on how they think this person died.

We then cut back to the past, where the constable is trying to do the same thing. Unlike the archaeologists, he doesn't have the advantage of modern tech and medical knowledge to examine the body, but he does have a more complete crime scene (since certain clues obviously wouldn't survive to be dug up in the modern day) and personal knowledge from having probably known the victim.

The audience then gets a more complete picture than either group, and an insight into both the strengths and limits of modern archaeology, explaining what we can and can't learn from studying a person's remains.

At the end of the film, after the killer is revealed and the main plot is resolved, we then get to see the archaeologists get shown the actual scenes where their 'victims' were killed, so they can see how well their conclusions match up with what 'really' happened.

The story of the Distant Goddess is absolute proof that it’s a crime that Ancient Egyptian mythology hasn’t entered the popular conciousness in the same way as Greek stuff.

Holy shit someone finally leaked what went down with the Hugos and from a quick skim it appears to be the worst possible scenario: that is, Western award-runners PREEMPTIVELY censoring anything they thought the Chinese government might not like. Clownery AND fascism.

No thoughts just Brett Goldstein and Phil Dunster in their favourite pose in 2021 vs 2024.
