#Reeley

[roamwithahungryheart]

Don't mind me, just putting on my screenwriter hat to dream up Ted Lasso s4:

4.01 - Sleepless in Richmond

AFC Richmond adjusts to life without Ted. Newly-appointed Diamond Dog Roy has some big news to share.

4.02 - All 'Er Nuthin'

Ted receives an ultimatum.

4.03 - My Best Friend's Wedding

Keeley and Shandy's rivalry continues over a wedding dress.

4.04 - The Winner Takes It All

The team faces their toughest match of the season. Rebecca and Bex face off against Rupert.

4.05 - The Parent Trap

Ted & Michelle struggle with co-parenting. In the run-up to Roy & Keeley's wedding, an honest mistake puts Ted & Rebecca in an awkward position.

4.06 - Exes and Oh's

Roy, Keeley and Jamie have a difficult conversation.

4.07 - Ding Dong, The Rich Man's Dead

A shock death rocks Richmond.

4.08 - Girls Just Wanna Have Funds

Keeley finds her feet with her new business venture. Eventful hen and stag parties leave everyone with more questions than answers.

4.09 - Reason to Believe

Ted returns to Richmond. Revelations from Trent's book come back to haunt him.

4.10 - People Will Say We're In Love

Roy & Keeley's wedding day arrives. Ted & Rebecca have some unfinished business to address.

Roy & Keeley

The quote above is from Brett Goldstein from an interview in Town and Country. I feel Brett's comments on Roy should be posted & shouted loud, but I still think it would've been beautiful & complex if Roy could've gone on this journey without them breaking up. Roy & Keeley working through tough things at a super challenging time would have been complex & real.

Keeley is a fighter but also super busy. Roy has self-worth issues, but also a competitor. I get how they're setting it up. Keeley doesn't have the emotional energy to work with Roy on his issues right now and that's fair. It's a lot. Roy's self-worth outside of playing football is zero. No one wants to tell Roy Kent what to do either (as was stated in Season 2) so it'll be awhile before he gets any advice from others. Already in S3E1, I already feel both of them are less "themselves". They are better together. And right now, we are all Phoebe. 💔

[Podfic Link] | Length: 11 minutes, 57 seconds

Original Work: Community Service by nottonyharrison

Ted Lasso: Keeley/Roy/Jamie | Rating: Mature

Summary: 

Jamie snaps his mouth shut. Keeley looks between the two of them again. Roy looks first in Jamie’s eyes then down at the neon mesh that’s glowing under the UV lights, then back up. This time his eyes stop at Jamie’s lips. “I mean like… if you’ve never kissed a bloke before then I suppose it’s just community service.”

Notes: podded for @polypodweek 2024!!

“a lot of folks think its better to quit than be fired”

roy being the one to break up with keeley, roy thinking back on his time at chelsea and wondering if he should have just stayed and enjoyed himself instead of leaving, ohhhh i love the writing on this show

[roamwithahungryheart]

Trying to figure out why Roy & Keeley are sitting on the bed in Jamie's childhood bedroom

[thefatobsession]

“…there’s a part of me…thinking maybe I should have stayed and just fucking enjoyed myself.”

Maybe Roy’s also talking about his relationship, riiight?! Maybe he’s regretting his decision… 😭

What if they get back together?? 🥹🤞

Ted Lasso Callback Fail

Apparently, the horrible Roy, Jamie, Keeley scene in S3E12 was supposed to be a callback to the Roy, Keeley, Phoebe one in S3E1. While it's a visual callback, overall, this is a callback failure. There is a far better one but it would have showed how badly these characters were treated in this scene.

What would have been more appropriate is if Keeley had said, “Don’t use me as a prop in your little fights” - a callback to S1E4 (For the Children - after the gala) when Roy challenged Keeley on doing that very thing to him with Jamie. Then, Roy should’ve apologized (again, similar to Keeley's apology in that scene). Maybe Jamie could've then also showed shame in his behaviour because he would realize how he just walked back so much growth. It would also have shown Roy realizing he was a hypocrite, expecting better treatment in that S1 scene when he and Keeley were mere acquaintances than he was giving to Keeley in S3E12, the woman who he apparently loved.

That’s a proper callback, but it would've called attention to the fact that the show decided to short shrift Roy & Keeley as characters in S3. Not to mention this scene was so gross because Roy and Jamie had always respected Keeley's agency & even in S1 when they hated each other, they respected her wishes. Hey... another callback, when Roy didn't try to stop Jamie from coming into Keeley's house in S1, showing he may have hated Jamie but Keeley's friendship with Jamie was none of his business. And Jamie knew Keeley's love life was none of his. They both knew they had no right to make her choose how she lived her life.

Regression is one thing, but it means Ted’s influence & all their growth meant nothing.

i do hope we get the roykeeley break-up scene in a flashback or something. i want to see how it went down, if only for the angst potential of it all. you just know neither one of them really wanted to go through with it and i can only imagine how soul-destroying that conversation was for the both of them 😔

[witchcraft-and-clownery]

Me, watching Reeley go through a breakup exactly as I predicted:

[randomfandommusings6]

I love how everyone talking to roy about the breakup is basically us as the audience.
