#send in more ted lasso stufffff i am begging

[rosiesramblings]

i started watching ted lasso and the brainrot is soooo sosososos bad and the lack of trent tk content (and ted lasso content in general) is criminal so do you (pretty please) have any hcs about mr trent crimm the independent?

I have a confession to make... I didn't really give a shit about trent crimm the independent until like a few weeks ago. But then a combination of his thing with colin and the celebration after the game in the last episode where he is so obviously unmasking around ted for the first time that I was like oh shit ok this character is now allowed to take up space in my brain.

So without further ado:

This man. I don't know how tall he actually is. But conceptually, in my head, he is an absolute beanpole

Obviously autistic (last ep made me go back and reevaluate every single trent scene in the show for clues) and when he's jumping around with ted and beard and freaking out about 'the Lasso way!!' it literally would be less obvious if he had a physical mask to take off lol

All that said, he has a strange relationship with touch

Most places, he's really sensitive to light touches, especially the back of his neck and his knees

Will go boneless and collapse if someone (ted) tickles under his arms

Beard thinks that's hilarious. Roy rolls his eyes but would rather trent be the victim that roy himself lol so he doesn't protest

Is a dad, and so he does have a bit of a ler side

He's terrifying like Beard in that he's a silent observer, and so he knows everyone's bad spots before he even tickles them

I think that he would hesitate to tickle the team because he is so conscious that his presence in the locker room is a privilege he doesn't want to abuse

When he does get comfortable enough to do so, it's mostly sneak attacks and acting innocent after a quick flurry of pokes

Colin is the exception in that he will absolutely wreck him with the slightest provocation

I hope you liked these anon! Anybody please feel free to add on or expand lol
