Hi. I know you've been wondering what the chances are that Jimmy will be back for tomorrow's performance. Unfortunately, it would seem like he hasn't come back yet as of today, based on an Instagram story posted today by user stadnyk_natalia that shows another man in Vanya's costume. I think it would be a good idea to call (or to tweet @) Orange Tree Theatre and ask them point blank if Jimmy will be back for tomorrow and if not, maybe try to get a refund. I'm sorry.

Thanks for this! We wound up taking our chances — and happily he was back last night. What an incredibly nice human being and an incredible actor on stage.

Somewhere, elsewhere at Nelson Road, is Trent Crimm... on deadline, double-fisting energy drinks with a pile of already finished cans stacked around his desktop.

If you see him vibrating at his desk, no you didn't.

reblog if you are ok with mass booping

And sometimes you just want to boop a sleeping corgi’s snoot.

“Colin, you better have a damn good reason for showing up at 7 am.”

“Why, you got someone here?”

“Of course not.”

Meanwhile, the not-someone upstairs…

Not saying this would have been a better ending to S3 — but I’m not not saying it.

Happy Anniversary AFC Richmond!

I can't believe this little place just turned one year old today. <3

I'm more than a little emotional about that. (Honestly I'm a lot emotional if I'm writing all these words about this server...) Over 300 members strong, and still the chattiest and best group I've ever been a part of in all my years of fandom.

What started as a "I need folks to flail at" has become the most vibrant community. We started out as TedTrent and RoyJamie, and have wound up branching into most of the slash ships (shoutout to TedBeard and RoyTrent and the entire AFC Richmond polycule).

We're (still) planning events — including a big bang this summer. For authors, we do lots of sprints for those who like to write "together". (And a long-awaited re-watch when we can figure out time zone math...) It's just an all around chill place to talk about our favorite horny middle aged men who found each other in the most unlikely of places: Richmond.

So if you're still just as obsessed as us (and still just as delulu that S4 is coming one day and will involve Ted getting to smooch a journalist) — come hang out. Lurkers are always welcome, too. We'd love to have you! 💖⚽️

I owe a bunch of fic updates over here — but I think this was a pretty damn cool one IMHO.

AFC Richmond Server

Hi folks. If you're like me and *still* losing your mind over that certain edit AppleTV posted earlier today, TedTrent wedding what? come join us! We're a super friendly group of folks over on these parts!

Primarily the TedTrent server, but we have morphed into a general slash (and femmeslash) server catering to the Tedependent, TedBeard, RoyTrent, RoyJamie... and just about everything in between shippers!

We're planning a server re-watch and just had a Holiday Prompt challenge on AO3... so lots of events coming up soon too. Come join us, we'd love to have you — no matter if you've been sailing this ship for ages or just discovered it and the show yesterday. 💖⚽️

(and huge love and thanks to @gaytedlasso for the edit that's our current server invite banner <3)

I will never write a better line than “show the class what the rest says”.

And BELLY.

Trent's sitting at their kitchen table, flicking through emails and notifications while his cup of tea grows colder by the minute. It's late and he should be getting ready for bed but damnit, he needs to finish a few more things for the day before he can curl up with Ted—

"I can't believe she went through with it."

He picks his head up — *fuck*. He's seen Ted in just about every state of undress over these past few months. Why does *this* have his mouth going dry? Those faded blue KC Royals sweatpants slung low on his hips — arms crossed in front of his chest, hiding *something* (AKA, whatever is on the bottom half of the shirt).

Trent's unabashedly staring while he waits for his brain to reboot. Anyone who thinks rockhard abs are the peak of masculine form have never laid their head on Ted's belly and fallen asleep.

"Who went through with what?" Trent's asking, trying to make out the rest of the words behind Ted's forearms.

"Keeley. Though I think this might've come from Roy — hard to tell these days. They're a bad influence on each other."

Trent motions a finger at Ted. "Share with the class what the rest says."

Ted drops his arms.

A slow smile spreads across Trent's face. "Prove it."

FIC: When All the Stars Were Falling

Hey Tumblr! It's been a hot minute (because summer has been... something or other.) Fics are coming I swear — but in the meantime, have a piece of cavity-inducing fluff that was inspired by my lovely AFC Richmond server 💖

TITLE: When All The Stars Were Falling  PAIRING: Trent Crimm/Ted Lasso  RATING: unrated (though it should carry warnings for tooth-rotting fluff with not a hint of angst anywhere)  SUMMARY/EXCERPT: 

It's hot. Disgustingly so.

One of those nights where it's cool and comfortable when you go to bed but by the middle of the night the air-con has kicked off and it's sticky and miserable and you wouldn't have known it was so disgusting other than you dared to wake up in the middle of the night for some godforsaken reason. It's been months since Trent's had the desire (let alone the ability) to even wake at 4:44 in the morning so 3 AM feels especially cruel. Even wearing a pair of too-big sweats slung low on his hips — Yes, they're Ted's. We're not discussing why he forgot to pack his other than he had a hundred thousand things on his mind and pyjama bottoms, apparently, didn't rate that list — he's hot.

Legitimately one of the best gifts I've ever received.

(if you're wondering, yes, it's possible to hear an image.)

Ted: “Diamond Dogs dismount!

*various howling and barking sounds*

Trent: woof!

*Audience (and Ted’s) hearts’ melted*

I have the best internet hubs. 💖 (Trent take notes and stop gazing so lovingly at your boyfriend.)

Trent you’re supposed to be writing a book, not just journaling about how good Ted’s hair looks today

I. I don’t have time to write a turn left fic set during Amsterdam.

Whelp. Add it to the list.

Feeling so unwell... Had Colin not left the group, would Ted and Trent have had a fateful encounter at the museum? Would they have grabbed dinner at the Yankee Doodle Burger Barn together? Would Ted have found the something new he was looking for, something to break him out of the box that he was stuck in (in terms of his personal life)?

There are some parallels between Ted's dinner at the American-themed restaurant and his meal with Trent in S01E03... And Trent is dressed in a yellow shirt and green trousers, sunflower colors... Meanwhile, Ted and Collin are both wearing solid orange tops. "Right by this big pink triangle"... There's so much! Why? Why is the missed connection between Ted and Trent this episode so obvious? I have been thinking about this for months.
