#plus gender and Jamie's feelings of Roy's expectations

[goodmorninglovelies42]

New from me. Jamie has the flu. Jamie goes to training, anyway. It does not go well.

Many thanks to the @thetarttfuldickhead, @catalogercas, @fanficfanattic, and @troublegoblin for their thoughtful and helpful comments on an earlier draft.

For the character asks: Jamie ofc <3 Also Roy if you wish!

Jamie:

Sexuality Headcanon: Generally Queer or Bi

Gender Headcanon: Cis Man probably but I've got some he/they nonbinary Jamie thoughts brewing.

A ship I have with said character: Do I need to really tell anyone what my Jamie ship is. JAMIE/ROY 4EVER.

A BROTP I have with said character: idk jamie/keeley lolol i want them to be besties forever.

A NOTP I have with said character: probably like jamie/ted or something if that exists idk i don't really think about ships i don't like

A random headcanon: When Jamie got to Richmond he was super fucking excited to play with Roy, who he'd spent most of his career looking up to, but Roy was immediately, well, Roy. So Jamie kind of went well I'll just keep doing what I'm doing then. Clearly being a dickhead is what gets you successful, my dad is right, etc etc. So he just ....acted like a dick because everyone expected to be one and Roy already hated him so what was really the point in trying to be someone else.

General Opinion over said character: LISTEN JAMIE TARTT IS MY FAVORITE FICTIONAL CHARACTER OF ALL TIME I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND HE IS MY BOY AND HE DESERVES THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD SOMEONE GIVE THAT MAN A FUCKING HUG.

Roy:

Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual

Gender Headcanon: Cis Man

A ship I have with said character: Jamie/Roy

A BROTP I have with said character: Roy and Ted, tbh. I love watching Ted slowly win him over and I love the way they respect each other and just. I'm into it.

A NOTP I have with said character: I generally don't really think about ships I don't like. Sorry my question for this is always the same.

A random headcanon: Roy has a couple of teammates from the past he's hooked up with. He's never really dated a man in a serious way but sometimes it was just easy to like have someone on the road and someone who understood, and maybe there was one that he had some feelings for here and there but it was never anything he really thought about making official because queer in male sport and everything was already complicated and hard to navigate. Plus he just didn't really have room in his life for a Relationship, no matter who it was.

General Opinion over said character: I fucking love Roy Kent so much. Not as much as Jamie, but I just - I love watching this man with so much anger in him slowly warm up to everyone around him. I love seeing him in his softer moments and watching the way he learns how to channel his anger and emotions into positive things. I love the way he interacts with Phoebe and the way he just - is.
