#roy kents sister

[snappysprinkledog]

It's not the popular interpretation, but I truly in my heart believe Roy's sister is older than him

He just kind of gives 'has a big sister' vibes to me, if there is one thing he is from the start of the show it is like, respectful to women, and he just kind of grumbles along, which reads to me man who was made to sit still while his big sister treated him like a large doll

Also the way she looked at him on uncles day was not giving shit head little sister that was knowing older sister enjoying watching little brother squirm

[pinazee]

Randomly wondering if Roy’s sister became an ER doctor because she was in there so often because of Roy she figured she might as well get paid for it

[izzy-hands]

Roy’s sister, internally: Oh my god, this is happening.

[jamietwat]

I could 100% see Roy’s sister seeing Roy and Jamie bickering over the stupidest most inconsequential shit just for the sake of bickering and her deciding to stir the pot by saying “Wow, you two really fight like an old married couple…”

And then Jamie making a face like that’s the most ridiculous thing that he’s ever heard and scoffing as he argues “We ain’t married”

And then Roy’s argument dying on his tongue as he full body turns to shoot Jamie the most incredulous look like he’s completely lost his mind and sounding confused and offended as he adds “We’re not a couple”

And Jamie would brush that off with a wave of his hand like “Yeah, sure, that too. But more importantly, he’s the old one. You can’t be an old married couple if one of you’s ancient and the other’s a sexy little baby”

Jamie would not think once about this interaction after it was over, but it would rattle around Roy’s brain annoying and confusing him for weeks

Your sister is fit.

It only just occurred to me. But Jamie knew the cursing rule without us seeing it established during Uncle’s Day. So now I’m imagining how that exchange went.

I could see Roy’s sister initiating the call. Explaining who she is but that Phoebe can explain it best. And then that proper little dweeb gets on to explain Uncle’s Day; that they have tea and then themed presents* and it ends in a two-person play.

But then also about the fine system, that they don’t offer milk with their tea because of Uncle Roy being lactose intolerant. Like she gets to talk to someone N E W who also loves her Uncle Roy. She gets over/excited and just info dumps about her uncle.

And of course Jamie is charmed. He’s an excited about things info dumper too. And a Roy Kent stan. And a just-some-bloke-named-roy fan too.

So he puts some change in his pocket and shows up for Phoebe. It being about Roy is just icing on the cake.

* “This year we’re making shirts!”

Jamie *pen leaking ink into his mouth thinking “does it count if I come up with the idea but someone else does the actual work?”

Phoebe *tapping her capped pen against her Uncle’s Day 2023 plan* “I suppose so…”

[thetarttfuldickhead]

”Well, I fucking love it,” Jamie says while Roy stares at Phoebe’s gift in mute horror and you know that Jamie is just as genuinely impressed with the shirt as he is ecstatic at it being gifted to Roy who will now have to a, grit out a thank you bc adorable niece, and b, wear it because – again – adorable niece.

Ah. Called up for England. Called Roy’s best friend. Getting to see Roy squirm. Jamie Tartt is living his best life in 3x10 and I fucking love it.

fave Ted Lasso moments 14/? : Hello Uncle Roy!

[jamiesfootball]

Delightful details from Uncle's Day:

Roy's sister blowing the party horn just as enthusiastically as Phoebe

Phoebe calling her mum 'mummy'

Her mum calling her 'Phoe'

The actress having similar high-note / mannerism to Phoebe when going down the list of Phoebe's Favorite Holidays

"Any day that annoys Roy, holiday for meee~!" with the pointed sibling grin

Phoebe's handmade, handdrawn Uncle's Day sign

A collection of novelty / graphic mugs

Rose-tinted wine glasses on the cabinet

How cosy and warm their home looks. It's not loud but its colorful and bright. Butterfly decals decorating the walls with no rhyme or reason. Full of toys and a big ol' calendar on the fridge and just. Signs of a kid lives here.

"She might be an old soul, but she's a proper fucking dweeb, isn't she?"

The implied agreement between Roy and his sister that Phoebe is an old soul

"Is that your Range Rover outside as well?" I fucking love him so much

The way it looks like Phoebe was dragging Jamie forward by the hand

They planned this

"Hello, Uncle Roy"

His sister not chiming in at all. Just snacking away

"Who's your best friend, Jamie?" "Probably Isaac." "Fuck off."

The gift. THE GIFT

Jamie immediately jumps explain the gift the second it's opened

THE SINCERITY. "I GOT THEM TO CHANGE THE 'E' TO A 'U'."

The fried eggs on the wrapping paper of Phoebe's gift

Roy's sister's face journey at the tie-dye shirt

Jamie's been here for 2 minutes and he's been fined twice

[roykentschesthair]

Sooooo…..I realize that you can’t base character age off of the actors age, but, there’s a significant age gap between Brett Goldstein and Sofia Barclay, who plays his sister.

Does that gap exist for the characters? Because if it does, that opens up so many possibilities for the family dynamic.

There’s 18 years between the actors, if that translates to the characters (which it might not) then Roy was already professionally playing when his sister was born.

Was his ability to be financially secure and therefore take care of his family a factor?

Did he take care of her in certain ways because he was independent and could?

They obviously have a solid and loving relationship if for no other explanation than his intense love of Phoebe and her idolization of him.

Was she an oops baby? Change of life baby?

Is there not meant to be a huge age gap between the characters?

I dunno. But I think about a young Roy Kent, angry and self conscious and doing the best he can and it makes me want to cry. A Roy Kent who was sent away at 9 (which is insane and not at all typical no matter someone’s talent)

Roy Kent, young and grieving his grandfather and feeling so alone.

Roy Kent, who now has money and fame and people he doesn’t know smile when they see him, say his name with joy and admiration and buy him a pint.

Roy Kent, who feels just as alone in that crowd of people as he did as a boy who never learned to ride a bike.

Roy Kent, who looks at his infant baby sister and rearranges his entire life to be able to be the solid, stable family that she needs and he never got.

I just cry about Roy Kent a lot.

maybe a Jamie x reader where the reader is Roy’s little sister??

"What'd you do?"

"Hey, Jamie, how are you this morning, Jamie," Jamie parrots annoyingly, earning himself a look from Keleey. He only grins. "Where are ya manners, Keeley?"

"Good morning, Jamie," Keeley says pointedly with little glee to the sentence. "What'd you do?"

"What makes you think I did anything?" he splutters, shoving things into his locker. "I'll have ya know, I'm a reformed little angel boy. I have broken up with trouble, yes ma'am. There's no room in me life for mischief, Keeley."

Keeley raises a perfectly shaped thin brow. "Is that why Roy looks like he wants to kill you?"

"Have ya met him?" Jamie scoffs, unconcerned. "The day he doesn't look at me like that is when I'll worry."

"He doesn't look mad, Jamie, he looks murderous. Like you stole his dog or killed his family."

Jamie suddenly tenses, looking all around for Roy and finding him in Ted's office, glaring daggers at Jamie from afar. He looks like he's been caught committing a crime, and Keeley's suspicion only grows.

"Jamie," she says, slow, when she sees realization dawning on Jamie's expression, then followed by horror. "Oh, Jesus, Jamie, what is it?"

"Nothing!" he pipes up extremely loudly, catching the attention of some of the guys. He hurries to close up his locker and pats all his pockets for his phone, which is laying on the bench, and Keeley hands him with hesitance. "Just gotta- there's a call- someone I need to-"

He doesn't finish a full sentence on his way out the locker room. Keeley expects Roy to follow him but he stays posted on his spot looking like a freaking hitman.

Jamie tries to be quiet about it but Keeley's an expert in many things, one of them being Jamie's mumbles. He hisses into his phone, voice panicked. "Please tell me you didn't tell your brother about us."

Keeley's eyes widen, looking between Roy and Jamie with anxiety building in her belly.

Shit. Oh, shit.

[valdomarx]

"Don't sleep with Jamie, alright?"

Roy blurts it out in a rush, the words sharp and heavy on his tongue. His sister blinks at him and slowly raises an eyebrow.

"I wasn't planning on it."

"Yeah, see, I knew you'd say that, but just don't, okay?"

"I really wasn't going to."

"Because he already said he thinks you're fit." He shudders at the memory. "And he's got this. I don't know. This thing which women find inexplicably attractive. I don't want to pull that misogynistic brother crap on you but please don't."

She's looking at him like he's losing the plot. "I'm really not interested in Jamie."

"Yeah, right." Roy huffs. "Why wouldn't you be interested? He was so sweet and fun with Phoebe. It's a pleasure to have him around. He's actually really considerate these days. And he's really fucking handsome, obviously."

She looks like she's hiding a smile. "I see."

"Everyone wants to sleep with him."

"I''m not sure that's strictly true."

"Of course they do! He's Jamie fucking Tartt! It's not enough that he's a fucking god on the pitch, now he's gone and done all this growth and shit and he's a really fucking decent person as well! What the fuck!"

She's definitely laughing at him now, her eyes dancing with amusement. "Have you been worrying about this since the party?"

"No! Yeah. Maybe. A bit." Roy sulks.

"Because it makes you upset when you think about him being with someone else?"

Roy squirms. This talking about feelings shit is unbearable, but yeah, he'll admit that the thought bothers him.

She pats his hand. "Roy, you know I love you, right?" He nods. "So listen to me when I say, with love: you're a fucking idiot."
