#and then trent shows up

[tomlinfonda]

TedTrent + having conversations in establishments that serve food and drinks, during which the word "love" is said exactly 3 times

+ bonus:

the word "love" being said at the beginning of the scene by the person serving them:

#ted lasso #trent crimm #tedependent #tedtrent #ted x trent #ted/trent #ollie #mae #this is sooooo specific #both scenes literally start with a person serving ted something (indian food/beer) and saying the word love #as if announcing that love is about to happen #ollie says gonna love it and later in the conversation ted wins trent over #in jimmy's words #trent's heart goes BOOM #and then in the pub mae says if music be the food of love play on give excess of it #and then trent shows up #bumps into ted #love walks in #also... rule of 3s? #have i missed a scene in season 3 or should i expect one if season 4 ever happens?

I find it fascinating to witness the straight audience of any media not being able to pick up what the makers of the movie/show puts down.

It’s like when people reacted to the “You wear fine things well” scene in Our Flag Means Death with “aw, they’re such good friends” whereas the queer audience went “omg, this is happening”. We all had access to the same scene, we’d all watched the build up to that scene but the straight audience wrongly read it as friends/straight whereas the queer audience had suspected they were building up to a romance but this was the confirmation. Even the creator of the show was baffled that people were surprised that Ed and Stede fell in love. Because he thought they had made it obvious.

And as I said, we, the queer audience picked up on it. And I feel like the same thing is happening with Ted Lasso. Do I know that Ted and Trent will get together? No, I am unfortunately not a writer on Ted Lasso. But you can’t deny that there are clues pointing to it. But the straight audience barely pick up the fact that Ted and Trent like each other, be that in a platonic way or romantic way. I’ve seen several reactions to the last episode of season 2 and ONE of them included the scene where Ted reacts to Trent not being in the press room. All of them severely cut down the scene in the parking lot. One of the scenes most of us Ted/Trent truthers point to as a huge piece of evidence for it going canon. The parallel of them meeting in an empty parking lot, just like Ted and his ex-wife and Roy and Keeley. But because Ted and Trent are both men it couldn’t possibly mean anything. And Ted has an ex-wife and a kid so he can’t possibly be into men, as if there is no such thing as being bisexual. “But I’m pretty sure Trent has a family, he has a kid right?” So? He could be divorced, we also have no idea if his daughter has another dad or a mum. And the same thing applies to him, it doesn’t mean he can’t be into men (take also into account all of James Lance’s interviews, and his choice of shirt in one of them, friend of Dorothy anyone? He's the captain of this ship, we're just along for the ride tbh.)

Then we have the wonderful “I’m so not homophobic, in fact, you are homophobic because you think Ted is gay just because he likes musicals and has ‘feminine’ traits” um no… it’s the fact that he kind of acts in a way that an ally wouldn't. Yeah, he called himself an ally in that one episode. But every single person who is now out as queer who at one point considered themselves an ally because "I’m not one of them but I sure think they're neat" raise a hand 🖐️ (been there, done that. Was very into queer things before I realised I myself am one of them). What it always comes down to is "it's pandering", "it's tokenism" (having the main character on the show be queer wouldn't be fucking tokenism), "not everything has to be gay", "why can't men just be friends, there is a severe lack of male friendships on tv". And like the last one makes me go??? There are a MILLION friendships between men on TV. There are even multiple friendships between men in Ted Lasso. Beard and Ted, Ted and Higgins, Ted and Roy, the himbos and so on. Having Ted and Trent become a couple wouldn't really change anything because there are still friendships between men. They also claim that Ted is needed as the "straight without toxic masculinity" representation. As if Beard isn't right there. The man who has no problem going to an immersive show about the menstrual cycle. Has no problem with shrieking when he's surprised and so on.

I also like that if we'd get Ted and Trent together, we'd get two middle aged queer dads. Which isn't that common. It's not even super common to see people realising they're queer late in life on TV, and yet it happens every day. Because let's face it, most queer men on TV kind of look like Colin, and I don't mean that as a bad thing. And I'm looking forward to his storyline. But it's also nice seeing middle aged or old people finding themselves and being allowed to be who they are (see Ed and Stede from OFMD). Also would enjoy seeing people lose their minds when they realise they've been fooled this entire time. It'll be like Black Sails all over again.

I do not have any doubts about the fact that, had Trent or Ted been a woman and they saw Trent give up his career because of Ted's influence, they sure as hell wouldn't protest people thinking they'd become a couple. But because it's two men it's just delusional for some reason (homophobia).

What I'm saying is, it's clear that the straight audience has a hard time picking up subtext and clues that the makers are planting. Because they've never had to do that. Because they are always clearly represented. They don't have to look for minor side characters and hope that they might be queer. Because the main character is straight and most of the supporting cast too. When you've grown up with a lack of representation or with representation that is meant to be subtext, you'll learn to pick up on it. And you do look at media differently. I just wish that the straight audience could listen to us for once, without getting defensive and dancing around the fact that they are uncomfortable relating to a character that turned out to be queer.

#tedependent #ted lasso #trent crimm #there are so many times where I'm watching something and I go... hold on that is... is that a queer character... yes it must be #and then they do something small that confirms it and I'm like I fucking knew it! #I have 0 gaydar in real life but when it comes to media I tend to pick up on it #I wish that all straight people would learn about the way queer people have been represented throughout history #so that they might be able to understand why we have to look for subtext even today #hell we got ''representation'' in star wars and beauty and the beast and it was blink and you'll miss it #and they wonder why we have to make everything gay?? #because we want to be represented in a show that isn't strictly about being queer #yes it's nice with a ''everyone is queer'' kind of show #but it's also nice to be seen in a mainstream show that is loved by not just a queer audience but also a straight audience #nicole watches stuff

thinking about situationship with trent based on you’re losing me by taylor swift :( especially where you guys were friends before. he says that he doesn’t want any ‘label’ on you guys considering the spotlight that he is currently under. so you guys aren’t dating, but you guys do things that a normal couple would do, but no commitment.

at first you were fine with it, his job does mean that one slip up can mean your personal life being on blast, paparazzi, articles & such.

but lately all you wanted was to shout from the rooftops at how you wish he was yours.

you guys talk, laugh, sleep, joke, act, like a couple, so why are you not?

the situation went downhill when you have taken notice at how loosely trent used the term ‘situationship.’ at clubs or parties or just getting coffee in general, he would always get hit on by gorgeous women.

you weren’t insecure, because why would you be? you guys aren’t together.

so why does it hurt like hell every single time he would entertain these women and flirt back?

one day you finally had enough and decided to call it quits on whatever terms the hell you both are on.

trent didn’t understand, it was going fine. but then when he sees your teary eyes, the way that your lip wobbles and your scratchy voice when you said “you’re losing me, trent.” his stomach dropped. he royally screw up.

his heart ached, all he wanted was to be yours, and you wanted the same. guess the timing didn’t work out very well.

he tried to argue, at the same time invalidating your feelings and how much it was affecting you. so when you repeated, “stop. you’re losing me.”

his hands started to shake because he knows deep down that he already lost you. so when he left your house, you knew it was the last time you’ll see him. until your paths cross again.

he lost you and you lost him.

#lets talk trent <333333 #he just doesn’t want you to be under the pressure that he was in :((( #he cares but he doesn’t really know how to show it :(( #im in my feels :( #the dress x you’re losing me mash up really inspired this #got me sobbing and shit #maybe youll get together again one day #when you both are mature #and grown #and he realises how much he misses you ☹️ #and maybe you guys work out #trent alexander arnold #trent alexander arnold blurbs #trent alexander arnold fluff #trent alexander imagines #trent alexander arnold x reader #trent alexander arnold fic #trent alexander x you

Zava leaves the team for whatever reason and it’s drama and chaos just like we were promised it would be and everyone goes home that night feeling the full weight of mid season trauma bearing down upon them.

And it’s not until Roy is getting ready for bed that he he stops to wonder ‘are we still doing this?’ Because everything sucks right now. It feels like he’s spent the past few months beating himself up about every decision he’s ever made. Except for his offer to train Jamie. That’s the one choice he’s made lately that’s settled on his shoulders as easily as his favorite leather jacket.

It’s a leap of faith, setting his alarm for 4am.

And he hesitates when he’s at Jamie’s door, just for a minute, but he doesn’t get any further than a knock before the door is swinging open-

“You’re running late grandad.”

Trent Ikithon, joke villain

Spoilers ahead obviously

Can I just say that I found Trent's threat about Essek and him having to wait for Caleb in Blumenthal overnight weirdly hilarious, and not just because he's almost certainly years behind the news?

Trent leaving message: "hahaha, I'm going to tell the Bright Queen Essek was the traitor, Caleb" *casts* "Your Majesty, I- "42 psychic damage*"

Trent builds his trap in Blumenthal and hides behind a tree: "Okay, any minute... now.... any minute now... might as well cast Sending to the Bright Queen again while I wai- *27 psychic damage*"

*hours later*

Trent: "he's not coming tonight, is he? I've been hiding behind this tree all evening and my whole body hurts and I have a killer headache ... Well, let's try sending agai- *34 psychic damage* *passes out behind tree*"

.

I genuinely find it hard to believe that he deserves the Int stat he has, lol.

Vitally important Ted Lasso question, brought to you by seeing Brett Goldstein live recently (he took some audience questions, and this was one):

Trying to prove something to Brett, who got this wrong, and who will definitely -- hopefully! -- never read this poll, but at least I'll know I'm right. ;D

(Also btw I love them all and can't actually stand the thought of killing any of them, so I'm going to assume this is like Films To Be Buried With -- whoever gets killed is off watching their fave films for a while in heaven and may later be resurrected)

#ted lasso #leslie higgins #trent crimm #coach beard #polls #brett goldstein #fmk #films to be buried with #the show was awesome #another question: #how hairy is your arse actually? #XD #op #I just know I've somehow probably messed up this poll despite proofreading and won't be able to edit later #please forgive me if I accidentally killed your blorbo extra times or something

objectively the best and funniest decision the will trent showrunners made was to have a show set in georgia with like 2 characters max who sound even remotely southern, but both of these characters

a) have so absurdly over the top southern accents that it almost makes you forget the rest of the cast is from SoCal

b) are played by someone who was on The Wire

#the actor they have playing a younger version of ramon rodriguez doesn’t even have a southern accent it’s so funny #like did he just wake up one day and think y’know what. time to become the offspring of benoit blanc + andre 3000 #if no one else is going to post about this show. I will #will trent

oh both trent AND orange have their own matches during zero hour? chuck tweeting about airports? I wonder if there'll be something that happens ha ha hee hee (i hope there is) (please)

#talkzon #I took a nap and dreamt I was lb-ing the show but then woke up in my dream and realized it was too early for it so I was posting nonsense #then woke up for real so unfortunately even my nonsense posts never existed #most notable bit was that there was a somewhat psychosexual segment going on #and I made a comically stoic post that was just like ''hey do u think they're gonna do chuck vs trent 3 :)'' #anyway the time for dreams is over the time for real is now
