So the three coaches at Richmond post-season 3...

Beard marries Jane

Nate is dating Jade

And Roy is....hmm 🤔

[grey-rkjt]

Jamie deserves to be proposed to so hard

I knowwwww

Most fics have Jamie proposing to Roy (which I do get since Jamie is usually the more eager party in that relationship), but I’ve always imagined it the other way around, since Roy is so much older and I feel like Settling Down would be more at the forefront of his mind if that makes sense? I also think Roy is kind of a hopeless romantic at heart and gets deeply invested in relationships fast (like im a Roy Was Going To Propose To Keeley In Marbella truther) so I just think he’d probably have the idea before Jamie did

Anyway. Yeah <3 Jamie being unwanted is kind of a consistent theme in his relationships, and I feel like he deserves more, and I really really want to see someone profess their undying eternal love for him on one knee and beg him to stay with them for the rest of their life. Is that too much to ask

Part 2 (because it wouldn't all fit into part one): The exceptions and the honorable mentions

Let me know if y'all think I missed anyone

[grey-rkjt]

I know this isn't what I normally post about (I say like I regularly post about anything), but I just watched Ted Lasso with my family and I had to.

Part 1: the people I would (maybe) trust

I do find it funny that even Trent looks at Jamie

[grey-rkjt]

Trent Crimm has so much restraint and integrity. If I had Roy and Jamie at work AND a platform to write about them you’d get hourly updates about everything they say and do.

some roy/jamie things that make me feel very normal and not at all feral:

-Roy's speech when he starts seeing Keeley about how all he can think about is Jamie

-Roy's expression when Jamie said he had a poster of roy on his wall. Roy's reaction to seeing that Jamie STILL has it up on his wall!!! (Like Jamie was no doubt at that house all the time when he went back to City, he kept it up even when roy hated him. "Roy Kent remains" he sure fucking does Simon)

-when Isaac and Jamie talk about roy and keeley breaking up and the camera follows them walk away and we see Jamie follow, expecting that he'll follow Keeley only he doesn't, he follows roy instead and tried to comfort and hug him

-the ugly ugly boy scene 😌😌

-the hug in the Wembley changing room of course

-how roy doesn't let jamie enjoy Amsterdam with the others and instead makes him train one on one with him. And Jamie's reaction is like 🙄🙄 okay granddad in front of everyone but as soon as they're out there on the streets he's like ✨ yippeee ✨ and cartwheeling and info dumping on him

-the entirety of the learning to ride a bike montage after Roy opens up to Jamie about his granddad

-Jamie telling roy about what happened the first time in Amsterdam and roy being like 😨 damn that's traumatising and Jamie being like no, can't even remember it and Roy not knowing how to reply but is like 😰😥 you just know he's gonna be thinking about that for ages and planning different ways to murder Jamie's dad

-the way Roy's sister or phoebe knew Jamie well enough to be able to contact him for the uncles day party, that guy is not a new person in their lives. he is well known enough to be a happy surprise for roy at a small family function

-the uncle day gift Jamie gives roy!!!! and the little smile Jamie has when roy says he loves it. And the Live Sister Reaction of it all

-I don't like beard/jane but when Ted says something about their baggage matching each other and then it cuts to Jamie and roy. That's intentional

TED LASSO | 1X02 / 2X08 / 3X07

[grey-rkjt]

I’ve been to Amsterdam twice. When i was 14, me dad was trying to get back with me mum, and he was acting like some kind of fucking super dad or some shit, and he brought me put here for some father-son bonding time. Anyway, he said it was to watch a football match. After the game, he took me to the red-light district for my real present. He took me to lose my virginity to those ladies behind the windows […] No, she loved it, for me- sorry, me, you mean. No, i don’t know. I don’t remember. Anyway, a couple of years later, me mum brought me back here. And we went to museums and did all the tours, and it’s the first time i had stroopwafel. Never forget that time. Even though my dad weren’t there, he was still kinda there with us, you know?

PHIL DUNSTER as JAMIE TARTT in TED LASSO Season Three, Episode Six — “Sunflower”

[grey-rkjt]

Okay but like, Roy and Jamie weren’t exactly subtle about loathing each other, were they? They fought each other on the pitch and badmouthed each other on TV, none of that keep it quiet for the sake of the team shit for these extra boys, yeah? My point is, anyone who knows anything about English football knows that Roy Kent and Jamie Tartt used to hate each other, right?

So obviously, at some point, during some press conference or post game interview, someone needs to bring this fact up. Maybe it’s as early as after the 2x06 match, because Ted might well have insisted Roy and Jamie be the ones to front that, both because it was them that won that game and because he figures it’ll promote ~their bond~ or some such. Could be later too, after the headbutt/hug thing, or later still, once the pictures of Jamie and Roy’s early morning excursions start doing the rounds on social media.

Doesn’t matter much when, really, only that someone – maybe from the tabloids because they’re a vicious lot – would ask: “Roy, just weeks before you joined the Richmond coaching staff you said, and I quote, ‘Jamie Tartt is a muppet and I hope he dies of the incurable condition of being a little bitch’. Today you described him as the most important player on the field. What has changed?”

And maybe the room goes a bit quiet at that, oooh he fucking went there, and what the hell is going to happen now, but Jamie only cocks his head to the side, making a face but looking at Roy all amused like. “You said that about me? That hurts me feelings, Coach.”

And Roy rolls his eyes, exasperated but in too good a mood after the win to be really annoyed. “Yeah, well, as it turns out the condition was only mostly incurable, wasn’t it?”

And Jamie goes aaaw and the press goes um okay and it doesn’t really explain anything, only adds to the ever-evolving legend of what the fuck is up with Roy Kent and Jamie Tartt.
