More Ted Lasso Musings

Before I start let me say once again that this season has contained absolutely wonderful moments and is still a wonderful bit of light in a buuuuunch of darkness. Also spoiler warning.

Cool, so I've figured out what's bothering me this season and its that they're either showing us everything and telling us nothing, or showing us nothing (of actual character significance) and telling us everything. in the showing us everything and telling us nothing category we've got my love Keeley Jones. I feel like we've spent a massive amount of time at KJPR and I still feel like I'm scratching my head as to what they were trying to tell us. They've set Keeley up to be this incredibly competent and bright person, and when they give her her shot it all goes to shit. and I get it "you can't always get what you want" so says the song for this season's trailer, but I'm struggling to understand the thing that she got that she needed that she didn't already have. She had Rebeccas love and support, I mean she has Roy back but this does not seem like the show where the moral of a long story about her starting her own business is that she has her boyfriend back. I actually would love people's take on what you think we're supposed to get out of Keeley's storyline.

Onto the telling but not showing category we got my guy Nate the Great. He has been so totally short changed this season on his redemption arc. It is HARD to become a better person. It is HARD to admit you fucked up. It is HARD to turn against your own knee jerk insecurities and reactions. It is ESPECIALLY HARD to do that in an environment that is actively incentivizing you to act on those insecurities and reactions. So even though I absolutely believe Nate deserving and capable of these huge leaps forward in overcoming his own internal crap, I think we've completely sidelined that narrative of what's pushing him to actually take those huge leaps forward. At the end of season 2, it was clear Nate was really struggling, and I'm not gonna lie I hated the way he treated those around him, like Beard said it was "personal, and weird" but I also felt a huge amount of sympathy and compassion because no one gets that way without something horrible happening to them first. So when the last scene of season 2 happened and he was teased as this big time villain, I was sad, but not surprised. I expected him to get his redemption, but I also expected that to be a really difficult journey for him where he was likely going to get worse before he got better. So now we're in season 3 and he suddenly just makes all these huge leaps forward, they feel from out of nowhere, not because I don't feel like he's capable of it, but rather that should've been more difficult to do, and also it should've been a moment of great personal triumph for Nate! The way I think of it is imagine if Rebecca had just waltzed into teds office in season 1 and confessed about the sabotage with no context. Sure we would've believed her capable of it, sure we would've believed she deserved forgiveness, but we all would've been scratching our heads as to what made her have this reckoning within herself. they would've told us Rebecca changed instead of shown why and how she changed like what they're doing with Nate.

I actually think there's so many parallels between the relationship of Nate and Jade and the relationship of Roy and Jamie. Both Nate and Roy made stupidly bad and self destructive decisions around the end of last season. Both are in a low point in their emotional journeys, almost all of Nathan's emotional scenes have been with Jade while all of Roy's emotional scenes have been with Jamie. The thing is, that's not where their respective internal work really needs to get done? Nate already took the plunge and asked out Jade last season, and Roy already showed real vulnerability when he hugged Jamie after the thing with his dad (not that I think that means everything wrapped up with a shiny bow or anything, but just that each character has much bigger fish to fry in terms of character growth) I do think Nate and Jade have become really cute just as Roy and Jamie's scenes have felt ripped straight out of a fluffy fanfic. but do these scenes actually show us that Nate/Roy are getting better? We've already seen Nate being an absolute sweetheart with the women in his life who he loves, his mother, his niece (even if we didn't actually see her till this season it was clear that they had a very warm and positive relationship) and Keeley, so him being able to be vulnerable and open up with Jade is lovely, but not really that new of a territory. If we could just see Nate having a shift maybe with his coaching staff or the West Ham players, this would feel more meaningful because we saw him struggle way more with people he perceives as part of his own hierarchy structure. Its the same with Roy. We've seen Roy open up to Jamie in the past so their relationship, while fucking adorable, is not doing anything to address the real struggle inside Roy that he's ignoring. It would be way more meaningful to see Roy have moments where he chooses to have joy instead of running away. Instead we get scenes like where the sports pundit squad just says oh by the way Nate left West Ham, in the same way that Ms. Bowen says to Roy that he seems less stuck. Umm what? Since when? what happened? All tell and no show. Or showing only the least character growth relevant scenes and then just be like oh by the way they fixed it.

reblog and comment away because I'm interested in people's take on this.

Haaland's Magic Feet: Turning Goals into Fairytales

He's just 23, but Erling Haaland is already giving defenders nightmares and filling nets with goals. Here's what makes him so good:

Sneaky Moves: Unlike some fancy footwork strikers, Haaland can vanish and reappear in dangerous spots - on or off the ball.

Towering Threat: At 6'4", he wins most head-to-heads in the air, making him a perfect target for crosses.

Ball Magnet: Whether dribbling with both feet or attacking the goal, Haaland always seems to find the ball.

Goal Machine: He sniffs out scoring chances like a bloodhound, and his long-range shot against PSG was pure fire.

Always in the Game: Even when not attacking, Haaland helps build plays and keeps a positive attitude (with a cute smile to boot!).

Smarty Pants: He knows where to be on the field, always staying onside and ready to surprise defenders with sneaky runs.

Future Legend: Haaland's skills aren't just hot now, they show the makings of a truly world-class striker.

Closed starter with @aasia-na

Tw: death, blood, gore, etc

Andy’s breathing is ragged as she falls to the ground. Her vision is blurred, and she can taste metallic blood on their mouth. Their blood. Every breath she takes is pained and haggard, as she reaches for the god who’s made her this way.

Zeus.

Another lightning bolt sends waves of heat and pain shooting through her body. Her vision blurs again, this time with red as blood fills her eyes from the wound in her head. She won’t last long, she knows this.

The ground meets her faster than they expect. It’s cold and hard and unyielding. She can feel her energy draining out of her—or was that her life?

A bit curious of Nights and Balan's kid.

Any basic info about them?

I have a bunch of stuff about them (and their other kids) if you look through the fankid or wonderkid hashtags on my blog! But since I haven't talked about her for a hot minute, I'll give a refresher!

Ambi (full name: Ambivé Balan Jr) is the firstborn of NiGHTS and Balan, and was created when I had originally drawn a fusion of the two characters and liked it so much I decided to make it into a fankid design! She's very much a perfect blend of both her folks, chaotic and hardy from her Nightmaren side and massively powerful with a flair for theatrics from her Maestro blood.

Figuring out how to parent her in the early years was a wild ride, especially with her being the first documented offspring of a dream demon and a theatre god. She came with hurdles. One week it was creating fire from nowhere, the next it was disappearing through random portals, and then learning that manipulating sound means she could set off airhorns at any time she liked. Two a.m. was her preference for a solid week.

Eventually, Ambi grows into a powerful being and decides to go off on her own and be a travelling Maestro, going to places that's more inaccessible for a large, omnipresent building such as the main Theatre. She works a schedule with Balan, so she's in frequent contact with her folks even after she leaves home.

Her voice claim is also Annapantsu!
