Delightful details from Uncle's Day:
Roy's sister blowing the party horn just as enthusiastically as Phoebe
Phoebe calling her mum 'mummy'
Her mum calling her 'Phoe'
The actress having similar high-note / mannerism to Phoebe when going down the list of Phoebe's Favorite Holidays
"Any day that annoys Roy, holiday for meee~!" with the pointed sibling grin
Phoebe's handmade, handdrawn Uncle's Day sign
A collection of novelty / graphic mugs
Rose-tinted wine glasses on the cabinet
How cosy and warm their home looks. It's not loud but its colorful and bright. Butterfly decals decorating the walls with no rhyme or reason. Full of toys and a big ol' calendar on the fridge and just. Signs of a kid lives here.
"She might be an old soul, but she's a proper fucking dweeb, isn't she?"
The implied agreement between Roy and his sister that Phoebe is an old soul
"Is that your Range Rover outside as well?" I fucking love him so much
The way it looks like Phoebe was dragging Jamie forward by the hand
They planned this
"Hello, Uncle Roy"
His sister not chiming in at all. Just snacking away
"Who's your best friend, Jamie?" "Probably Isaac." "Fuck off."
The gift. THE GIFT
Jamie immediately jumps explain the gift the second it's opened
THE SINCERITY. "I GOT THEM TO CHANGE THE 'E' TO A 'U'."
The fried eggs on the wrapping paper of Phoebe's gift
Roy's sister's face journey at the tie-dye shirt
Jamie's been here for 2 minutes and he's been fined twice

Ngl when I see ppl shipping Jamie and Dr. O'Sullivan I think they're at least a little homophobic and very straight.
well, i disagree with a blanket accusation of homophobia, but I do think it's an opinion that holds a very ~straight appeal~, definitely, lol.
there are honestly a boat load of reasons i hate it but they boil down to:
i kind of get why people (esp. a segment of the general audience) might be attracted to it because it's soooo something (bad) shows/sitcoms would do. Like, my god is it TRITE. Predictable, formulaic...boring as all hell! Of course he's going to get with the nameless sister who has less than five minutes total of screen time, just for a little added spice and drama, sure. That's what happens in (bad) shows. But luckily for the rest of us, Ted Lasso even at its worst is not that brand of bad, lol.
it's completely baseless? Nothing wrong with a baseless ship i guess, but at the same time...literally why this one? lol. Like, Jamie and Roy's sister share one scene together in which I don't believe they even say anything to one another directly? There is no chemistry, no...anything? The entire premise for the ship seems to be Jamie telling Roy his sister is hot. Which was very clearly intended as a way for Jamie to get under Roy's skin. Nothing about the scene makes me want to see those two dating.
the big proponents of it i've seen (often, definitely not always) seem to fit into one of two categories 1) people who don't really like Jamie and/or are upset Jamie "got in the way" of their ship, and thus want him to be written into a corner that pulls him away from their preferred couple/inherently shuffles up their dynamic. they don't actually care to watch a plot between Jamie & Roy's sister, they just want Jamie firmly categorized as Taken and thus Not Interested in Roy and/or Keeley, and this is a convenient and predictable(y stupid) way to do it. lol.
OR 2) people who DO really like Jamie and in fact really like Roy & Jamie, but in a very "no homo" way, who want to see more of their dynamic and have a way to define/further explore their closeness, whilst also justifying their own enjoyment of it, that's well set apart from "they have homoerotic tension." Jamie & Roy's sister dating holds an appeal because it more explicitly puts their relationship into firm "brotherly" territory. And I unabashedly loathe that for the same reason i loathe "Roy is Jamie's father figure!" ...foremost because no really, they can just be best friends!! Even if you do not want to ship roy-jamie romantically, you do not need to slap different familial labels on them (or put them into random other pairings) to make their relationship "more." Their relationship is already "more"...they are canonically best friends!! idk if I'm explaining this in the best way but the mindset behind it often feels very rooted in ~the nuclear family is the most important relationship a person can achieve~ and thus a need to fit everyone into traditional family roles (and in some cases that PLUS blatant homophobia) and it gives me a personal ick. Ew.
If you want to see quirky jamie & phoebe antics or roy and jamie bickering, Jamie x Roy's sister getting it on is in fact not actually necessary for any of that? (and imo doesn't add anything to anyone's arc) Going back to point one...using that pairing to get there feels TO ME very boring and sitcom cartoony.
(i also obviously dislike it for my personal shippy reasons and must acknowledge my bias. 🫡 Jamie dating his best friend's sister when he clearly has a crush on said best friend is a relationship-based mental low point/cry for help i do not actually want him to go through as my fav character, LOL.)
(disclaimer: people can of course feel differently and are entitled to ship whoever they want without even needing a clear reason or explanation! that's totally valid! i want to reiterate I don't think it's inherently problematic as a ship. I just personally think it's a rotten tomato of a plot point and i'm so beyond glad the show didn't waste time entertaining it.)

For word Wednesday-
Word, ask, answer, or accept
I’ve got snippets for each word below the cut.
Word:
‘Shit’ he thinks as that registers. He hasn’t moved this fast in a while. But he can’t feel his knee, can’t feel the tightness in his chest. Because the second the door to the room is open he can hear that the screaming has stopped but now Jamie is just saying “no no no” over and over.
No one is in the room when Roy bursts in, something he didn’t even realize he was worried about until the relief swamped his body. It was short lived, though, because Jamie was trapped in whatever nightmare had its grip on him. He didn’t wake at Roy’s extremely loud entrance.
“Said no. Said no,” is somehow worse than just the single word had been. Is worse than the screams had been. But worse by far are the whimpers that are now scraping from his throat now that he isn’t talking anymore.
“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” Roy allows himself that moment before pushing himself into action. He pulls from the well he uses with Phoebe. Because a screaming child is a screaming child. And whatever torture Tartt’s brain is putting him through is bad.
Ask:
He ignored the silence of the dressing room, didn’t let his brain take in what was probably a sea of stunned faces, and he continued his favored behavior of pretending Ted Lasso didn’t even exist.
His focus was 70% on the girl, 10% on her mum, and 20% on himself because he could be prone to sort of turning whispy as a human if he let himself get too distracted. Best to always know where his body was and what his hands were up to on good days. And a day where Roy Kent had already body checked him was not a good one.
Still, now that the girl’s mum was walking over to them, he could see the way her stride reflected her brother’s. Or, he had no idea who was older, maybe Roy’s stride reflected hers. Either way, now that he knew, he couldn’t unsee it. And he was developing a fear that he’d idly ask Roy something about her in the future and end up murdered for it.
That was a problem for future Jamie, though.
Answer: two snippets that are both from the same fic as this one
“I suspect I know the answer but have any of you heard from Jamie?” Ted had been upset at the Watford FC half to see Jamie had actually left. Someone explained that was a fineable offense, which didn’t make much sense to Ted. They were all rich. But he had planned to talk to Jamie about it during today’s practice. Except he didn’t show up.
“The fucking pre-madonna is probably trying to get back at you for benching him.” Roy grunted in annoyance to punctuate the end of his sentence.
+
Colin whispers to Isaac, “Ohhh Jamie is fucked,” and has a quiet laugh. Not quiet enough, as Ted hears it and orders them both to do a lap. No one else cracks a joke the rest of the day. They barely survive training. While everyone blames Jamie for Ted’s shitty mood, without him there it manages to remain internal. Thankfully. No one wants to miss lunch to run punishment laps.
On the way in, the only person willing to be anywhere near Ted and Beard is Roy. The lads are in front of him, with the coaches behind, and Roy would not admit on pain of death that he was eavesdropping.
“I told Rebecca that this isn’t something that I ever have or ever will find acceptable. So I’ll be joining her for lunch to discuss options.”
“Options?” Beards quiet question still managed to be heard by Roy.
“I still don’t fully know how loans work. But we cancel it from our end, right?” Ted’s voice couldn’t properly be described as venomous, but it was sharper than Roy had ever heard it. Sure, he had wanted to murder Tartt, but he couldn’t be the only reason Ted was so on edge.
“Yes, but maybe-“
“Unacceptable means not accepting it, Coach.”
Which was an extreme that Roy wasn’t aware Lasso was capable of being. He was a little impressed, and under almost any other circumstance he’d enjoy Tartt reaping what he’s sown. But this didn’t feel like a Tartt move. He wasn’t here to enjoy the chaos he was creating. And for all his faults he was a hard worker. He trained like every day was a match day.
Being ahead of them meant Roy had only a few extra seconds to see Rebecca, and Keeley -who was crying- with the entire dressing room silent. Either because of Rebecca, a crying Keeley, or both.
“Hey boss, you ready to-“ but Rebecca interrupted him smoothly.
“Coach Lasso, I looked into what might be delaying Jamie, as you asked, and found out it’s because he’s in hospital.”
He looked gobsmacked and Roy didn’t know if it was because Rebecca was making it appear as though he’d been concerned for Jamie rather than pissed, that he was injured in some way, or if he didn’t understand ‘in hospital’ as opposed to the America’s ‘in the hospital’. He wasn’t even going to try. Instead he focused on the person he actually cared about.
“You okay, Keeley?”
“No, not really.”
“Oh.” He hadn’t planned a follow up for whatever she was going to answer and none came to him with that.
“It’s being reported now, but only because The Sun apparently has someone recording police scanner communications…”
Accept:
The rest of the afternoon went normally. Except while going over his plan in his head, again, he thought of something new to consider. He needed to decide if he should drive himself or get an uber, so looked up the address, only to realize it was for a secondhand charity shop.
He told himself that maybe the listing hadn’t updated, and tried to look that up too. Then realized it would be easier to call the number to see if it got answered and what they’d say the address were.
It was still a second hand charity shop. And that fucking hurt, because he’d never done that to none of them. He was a prick to their faces.
Once he stopped himself from spinning out at that, he had to piece through what his response should be. Figured that just pretending like he forgot wasn’t the best choice. Cause that would make it obvious he knew he was tricked or, worse, that he had never intended to go at all. They’d tell Ted he was being a prick again.
But oh fuck, Ted said he wanted to hear about it. And Ted is exactly the kind of fake tv dad that would walk in the next day and be like “hey, son, did you and your buddies have fun?”
Jamie calls him half back into a panic to ask that he don’t say anything cause then they’d know that they had (kind of) successfully pranked him. That he had actually believed they’d started to accept him.
Ted starts in with “That doesn’t sound like a prank, it sounds cruel-“ but Jamie cuts him off. He can’t deal with that conversation right now. Maybe never.
“I know I weren’t good to them, so they’re still mad. And if they’re still mad, that’s on me, I’ll keep working at it. I’m not trying to get no one in trouble. Just. Don’t make it weird, please?”
And on the one hand, that is a mature thing for Jamie to realize, but Ted had been upset with Jamie when he was being mean. It isn’t any more acceptable for others to be mean now. But in the end, Ted does agree to not make it weird.
Unfortunately, Ted is a deeply weird person.

Because I'm genuinely curious: What do you guys name Roy's sister?
I personally go with Raelyn {Rae for short}. I know a friend of mine loves Lila, and then I know a popular one is Ruth.
Tell me! I would love to know

Spent a very pleasureable hour imagining Roy's sister's face when Phoebe tells her that she wants to invite Jamie to Uncle's Day because unlike Phoebe the good doctor knows that their relationship is hella lot more complicated than just 'best friends' and she is already lowkey giddy with excitement over how Roy is going to react to this because any day that annoys Roy is holiday to her, but at the same time she does adore her brother and wants him to be happy and it's not like Phoebe is wrong, is it, and it's just good to have Roy make a friend and be invested in something/someone again... Grumpy old twat needs it.
Just something about her knowing that this whole thing will both genuinely annoy and genuinly be nice for Roy. It's like a little sister's jackpot, isn't it?
Fucking brilliant. I adore Dr. O'Sullivan and is very happy this happened to her.

I love that the fans already predicted two years ago that Dr. O'Sullivan (I dunno her first name), the nice doctor who treated Sharon after her accident, is Roy's sister. The clue is her eyebrows (and Roy told Ted that her sister is a doc), heeee!

Personally of the opinion that in a "Princess Diana's ex-husband" kind of deal, Dr. O'Sullivan isn't Roy's sister by blood but instead used to be married to his brother and the guy was such a piece of shit that Roy decided to claim her and Phoebe as family and cut him out. His former brother is now simply his sister-in-law's ex-husband. What I'm saying is I think Dr. O'Sullivan got Roy Kent and the rest of her in-laws in the divorce.

IfI Take APicture (Will It Last Forever?)
https://ift.tt/GIR7MzE by badbucky “It’s rude not to look at your dance partner,” Phoebe lectured him as she squeezed his hand, getting her uncle's attention back. “Says who?” Roy scoffed, because what did Phoebe even know about dancing anyway? “Jamie said so,” she insisted, but before Roy could properly react to that, their dance began. “You know I’m not a kid anymore, right, Uncle Roy?” “That’s what this party is about, innit?” “Then you know I won’t mind if you want to date Jamie, right?” Words: 2116, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English Fandoms: Ted Lasso (TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Categories: M/M Characters: Jamie Tartt, Roy Kent, Phoebe (Ted Lasso), Dr. O'Sullivan | Roy Kent's Sister Relationships: Roy Kent/Jamie Tartt Additional Tags: Short & Sweet, Phoebe Is A Matchmaker, Roy Kent Swears, Slow Dancing, Getting Together source https://archiveofourown.org/works/55561924 April 30, 2024 at 02:30AM

Dumb meaningless headcanon-
Roy constantly dunks on his sister because no matter how bad his handwriting is, hers is somehow worse.
What makes him extra insufferable is the fact that he can actually read it, he just pretends that he can’t to rile her up.
Like she leaves him a note for when he picks up Phoebe from school and brings her home, and halfway through her shift she gets a message that’s just a picture of her note—‘pull the chicken out to thaw’—and he’s all ‘’Phoebe’s flying to Thailand?’ Guess I’ll pack her bags.’ She’s texts back, ‘you’re not funny,’ and he replies, ‘no but I am rich and I just told her that you said you’re going on holiday. She’s very excited’
He ends up booking Phoebe and his sister a room at a fancy hotel with a full spa package for the weekend. Phoebe gets to order unlimited room service. She has a blast.

Intense (but good) update to the brilliant @istiz fic Phoebe & Jamie: Best Friends!
This chapter is titled “Sins of the Father(s)”. It features Roy being a dickhead and Jamie talking to Phoebe about shitty dads. But it ends in many hugs!

thinkin bout ruth osullivan. . .how when she got married she was probably a little glad to change her name, bc it was probably around the time roy was at the height of his fame, and as much as she loves him it probably wasn't easy being a celebrity's sister. how roy *kent* being famous probably made her being a kent feel complicated, and changing it was probably a little bit of a relief, bc it would give her a fresh start and a chance to make her own destiny. how when she got divorced, all of those complicated feelings about being a kent were still there, and even if she wanted to go back, phoebe was an o'sullivan. just having a lot of feels about a character we saw one and a half times and whose first name we still dont know lol
I'm still super salty they didn't give that woman a first name when the most minor characters got names (even if only in the credits). Matthijs' daughter has a name, Nate's sister has a name, but Dr. O'Sullivan doesn't get a first name??? Ludicrous!
Anyway I do think it's interesting that she kept her married surname!! I wonder how many people would have made the connection about her and Roy, even had she kept Kent; it feels like a fairly common last name to me where most people wouldn't have thought twice. But I do wonder if she had the perception, when she was still a Kent, that she was always being compared to Roy or put into a spotlight she didn't want. Regardless I think she definitely kept the last name because she wants to share her daughter's surname and she didn't want Phoebe's last name to be Kent.
We have so few details on it, but I'm also curious about how adamant Roy is about protecting Phoebe from the press and spotlight etc. I would say very, and I think the fact that Dr. o'sullivan and Phoebe never attend his games and the team doesn't really seem to know anything about them supports it. But we also know Roy watches her a lot and goes around shopping with her and hanging out with her around Richmond and London, and I kind of find it hard to believe that all that is happening without it getting papped (or if there's rules about children in british media, at least stalker phone pics from fans posted to social media). I imagine "who is this mysterious child with famous footballer roy kent" would've made headlines at some point??? idk
As an aside I remember there was a long discussion in discord when the episode aired with her about whether she and Roy might be half-siblings and O'Sullivan is therefore her maiden name. Apparently in Britain it's unusual that her professional, doctoral name would be her married name with the timeline of when she would have gotten her degree etc. None of that really jives with my own headcanons about them so I personally ignore those details but you know, something to think about as an option if it appeals to anyone!

Find out where you need the extra support.” “Thank you, Uncle Jamie!” Phoebe squealed excitedly down the phone. “You’re the best and I love you!” Jamie laughed at that. “It’s a good thing I’m already sworn to secrecy, else I’d be tellin’ your Uncle Roy you said that.” He snorted softly to himself before shaking his head. “I’ll see you bright an’ early tomorrow, Phoe.

It was not my lips you kissed but my soul
