I don’t want Ted and Rebecca to end up alone, I don't think they will, but I've read some comments about interviews that are scaring me.
I usually ask for more platonic relationships, I still truly believe that Holmes and Watson are one of the best representations of this (Elementary was great showing it). With Rebecca and Ted, tho? I believe they have strong platonic relationships already, Rebecca with Keeley and Ted with Beard, those are great relationships, pillars to them, they have other friends as well and people that care about them, including themselves. But both of them are searching for romantic love, this is something these characters want, it's not that they need it, they are both living well without it, but they are searching for it, they want a romantic partner to share their lives with, and it is not news.
Do they need to end up together? Well, no, they don't, but I think the show has told us that there's something there, they have seen each other at their lowest, they have helped each other to get over their exes, they are loyal to each other, they have changed each other, and I know that there's all that shit about the soulmatism of it all, and it is there, just I see it from a slightly different POV, like, they are not soulmates because they were born soulmates, they are soulmates because their lives to this point in time have mold them to be kind of perfect for each other, and not perfect in the "and they never struggle with anything ever again" kinda way, but perfect in the "oh, I think I can help you there, yeah, we can do this together" kinda way... like they have been doing.
Ted has a panic attack, well, Rebecca has had them too so she immediately knows what is going on and how to help; Rebecca has gone a bit dark side and now is crawling back to the light, well, Ted knows how to forgive her and help her stand because he knows where she is coming from. They give each other space but also constant support, and they are the ones they ask for what they would not ask of others, Rebecca asks Ted to fight for her, this woman that has been fighting alone all her life, ask this man to do it for her, and he does it, in his own way, but he does it. Ted asks Rebecca for help in personal matters, Ted does not asks for help, that's one of the big things he had to learn how to do, and he asks her, and she does it, in her own way but she helps him. Yes... this could be pure friendship, but there are also friendships that add another aspect to them sometimes, and I think this could be one of those.
Now, I know we have dutch guy going around, and Trent as well, these two could also work for the purpose of Rebecca and Ted not ending up alone, but I don't know dutch guy that much, so I'm not invested in that relationship at all. Trent is a different matter, I do care about him, and his happiness, and I do believe he has a crush on Ted, I just don't think Ted has one over him? Like I've read the fanfics and I love them, I just didn't interpret scenes in the same way many people have done it, like when Ted accepts Trent writing the book, the way I read that was this: Ted likes Trent, Ted knows Trent loves writing, he also knows Trent has been fired, fact over which I bet you all he had a bit of guilt over... it is Ted after all, Trent has a little kid that Ted knows, Trent is asking basically for a job opportunity here, Ted never ever was going to say no to that. I can roll with the takes that speak of love (romantic) here, I just don't think it's what the show is telling us? Course I could be wrong, but honestly, I don't think they have been building Ted/Trent as much as they've built Ted/Rebecca... which still can all be in the platonic side of things (I just hope it isn't).
What I'm saying is... please don't send Ted back?! I know that he has helped the club, and the players, and Rebecca, and everyone, so some people are saying he is done with his work, it's time to go. But Ted is not a magical being, he is not Mary Poppins going back to whatever magical kingdom she lives in, he is human, with pains, traumas, loneliness, and so much fear, please, don't send him back, let him find a new home in Richmond, let him to form another piece to add at the shape of the family he has with Henry and Michelle, please, I'm beggin here!
The reason I speak first of both Ted and Rebecca, it's 1) because I want Rebecca to find the love she is looking for, 2) because I believe the only thing that could prevent Ted from going back to Kansas is if someone loved him as a partner, if someone wanted him to start a life together, any other kind of love he would think those people could get it from somebody else, but not romantic love, specially if it is someone he loves back, that would make him think, try to come out with an idea that could work for everyone, because as Ted has said, if he could do or say something that would make someone he loves happy, he would do it, and if that is for him to stay in Richmond... then he might start looking for ways to make everyone happy, including himself. And while Trent, the only other person that might be in love with Ted, we know, and we can trust, I do not trust dutch guy, we don't know him, and I don't want to leave Rebecca with someone we barely know.
This show started with Rebecca front and center, it's ending with Ted front and center. It seem's to me like the writers have put so many details hinting at them ending together, if they do not, I would need to start reading material about how the fuck to interpret media content!

genuinely don't get why people are being so nasty to you lol if haechan was offended it'd be obvious. it's also possible it's a mistranslation but who knows, not us. people are ridiculous and need to calm down "!!!!They're so mean to haechan!!!" if he was actually being mean this would be making headlines. A majority of the fandom literally are not upset like a bunch of others are.
it's one of those things that people get upset about on tumblr but not irl. i really should not have engaged but it really started getting ridiculous in the tags.
i have so many friendships where there's random teasing back and forth and if anything it's made the friendships stronger. especially because there's a lot people can use to make fun of me lol
