Ted Lasso Finale Spoilers!

Alright! In honor of the beginning of Pride Month and Ted Lasso ending, you're getting a rant that I just screamed inside my house! Yay! And also a drawing, but that doesn't really matter

Ok so people are very concerned about Ted getting back together with Michelle at the end of the series, basically erasing the progress they both have made, which is a fair point but also a bit paranoid unless I missed a ring in that ending sequence or something.

So when Michelle visits Ted after getting with Unethical Unmoral Jacob, you can tell she enjoys talking to Ted and banters with him a bit, which some people have taken as evidence of them eventually getting back together, but here's the thing. Michelle, among other reasons, divorced Ted because he was constantly positive, which is justifiably exhausting, but now that they're only seeing each other in bits and pieces, of course Ted and Michelle will get along well! She's not around him constantly so she isn't fatigued by his positivity, plus he's been working on himself with a NOT HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING therapist (this makes it seem like I am mad at Michelle for choosing Jacob, but I just really really hate Jacob, he's the one who should know this is an unethical relationship, but that's a whole other rant).

Ya know when Trent said that after he came out to his ex wife, they are now good friends? I believe the same logic applies here. Ted moves back to Kansas and doesn't get back together with Michelle, but instead becomes friends based off their incredible understanding of each other and love for their son where Michelle isn't surrounded by his upbeat attitude constantly and they can help each other grow as people WITHOUT JACOB. I still believe wholeheartedly that Michelle no longer has any romantic feelings for Ted, but gained a platonic love for him once they separated.

So, I'm like 90% sure that whole showing everyone's ending scenes is a dream sequence? Why? Because Ted isn't Beard's best man at the wedding, he's not even in it at all. Do you REALLY THINK BEARD ISN'T GONNA HAVE THE MAN WHO SHOWED HIM FORGIVENESS AND LOVE AFTER HE STOLE HIS CAR ISN'T SHOWING UP TO HIS WEDDING? Plus I really don't like Jane and Beard together unless they get some serious relationship counseling and Beard has said before he doesn't really want marriage.

So, I may be entirely wrong and maybe the creators wanted Michelle and Ted to get back together, but it makes sense that Michelle and Ted become close friends after he moves, co-parenting Henry, and who knows! Maybe Ted goes "Hey Michelle I'm bisexual!" And Michelle makes it her life's mission to set him up with someone or Ted visits London and Trent asks if he wants to go out for a drink to which Ted responds

"If you're talking about tea or sparkling water, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to say no thank you, but if it's anything else, I'll be happy to take you up on that offer"

and then they get together and Trent moves to Kansas or Ted does Rebecca's plan of moving everyone to London! And then Keeley and Roy and Jamie get together and become best friends with Dani and his girlfriends who are also in a polyamorous relationship and Colin and Michael can live together in peace and everyone lives a queer happily ever after! You never know! It could happen!

Basically, if we count the ending scenes as a dream sequence, we have a lot to theorize on and make some great fanfiction about, but overall, I don't think Ted and Michelle will get back together but I do believe they'll become wonderful friends who support each other.

Anyway, here's a drawing of Ted and Trent (separately, I have trouble drawing Trent's hair so I couldn't do his head leaning on Ted's shoulder like I wanted) I tried to do

Happy Pride Month!!

No actually Ted you very much SHOULD keep calling him Dr. Jacob. Remind that unethical motherfucker of the exact nature of his previous relationship to you and your ex-wife.

[jay-wasstuff]

Some of you ship tedbecca, tedtrent, and/or roykeeleyjamie and was extremely disappointed that none of them set sail in the finale but none of you will ever understand the pain of my otp not happening,

Dr Jacob X Being Reported/Losing License

[pineappical]

in light of tedtrent becoming so real, im also jumping on the tedtrent epilogue 😊

there's just no way ted wouldn't keep in touch with the others (and have weekly zoom meetings just like in the christmas special) and I just love the thought of the whole team having reunions once in a while.

and going back to trent's arc in s3, the sunflowers conversation, "And your daughter?" "She's never been happier." I think it could go the same for ted.. we've never really properly saw how henry felt about his dad being in london, it's always other people that told ted his son misses him, who's to say henry would rather see his dad happy because that in turn would make him happy too? he was there to win the whole thing, right? I just know ted’s story isn’t done yet when he still hasn’t learned to let others take care of him in return and who else to pair him with than the man who blew up his career because a man was nice to him (and also because they were so. so cruel for the fakeout tedbecca scenes for that finale) 🥺

I'm no writer so just pretend these are snapshots of a slow burn fic where ted visits london for their team reunion and slowly realizes that trent has a crush on him and they kiss about it 💛

Not a day goes by without me thinking about this.

[dollsome-does-tumblr]

god forbid i even dare to hope that ted and rebecca might see each other next week -- i don’t! i can’t! -- but based on that episode summary, omg, would it ever be a GREAT plot for them to start hanging out together in

[shadowytigerperfection]

Let me make one thing absolutely clear:

When I say “Dr. Sharon”, it’s out of complete respect and gratitude.

When I say “Dr. Jacob”, it’s out of sheer contempt and derision.

Marks and Rec: Misc #2576

Surprise, Karina was here the whole time. (Dialogue from Ted Lasso.)

[cabinetofquriosities]

I am going to need Dr. Sharon to meet Dr. Jacob at some point.

Dr. Jacob: Oh! You’re Ted’s friend!

Dr. Sharon: No, I’m not.

Dr. Jacob: Oh.

Dr. Sharon: Because it would be wildly inappropriate for me to have a relationship with a patient outside of the office.

Dr. Jacob: Oh.

Dr. Sharon: Yes. Oh.

[andi-o-geyser]

hey, sorry um. bad news i called the Kansas Regulatory Board on your boyfriend. yeah, the one who started dating you and is now taking you on a trip to Paris after spending over a year with you for individual treatment and then couples counselling with your ex-husband. i'm then going to personally throw a football at his head for being such a piece of shit therapist. sorry.

[lasshoe]

rebecca “i’ll just buy the restaurant” welton should just buy whatever company michelle works for and move it to england so michelle has no choice but to move herself and henry to london

[whosyourdaddienow]

on god if i was ted lasso id continue to refer to michelle’s boyfriend as dr jacob until the fucking day i died. remind him of what he’s doing

[missmagooglie]

Listen. I'm not, like, rooting for Ted and Michelle to get back together or anything. I'm not even necessarily rooting for Michelle to break up with Dr. Jacob.

But watching Henry just snub Dr. Jacob so blithely getting into that car? Just zipped right past him like his presence didn't even register? Watching Dr. Jacob try to connect with Ted's son and absolutely wiff it?

You guys, I am so glad Ted got to see that. Not because Henry getting along with Dr. Jacob would mean Ted's role in Henry's life was somehow under threat. Henry loving someone who occupies a step-parent role would not in any way detract from how special and important Ted's relationship with Henry is.

It's just that Ted deserves to get a little vindictive thrill every one in a while. As a treat.

THE NEW BOYFRIEND IS THE THERAPIST???

AS IN THE RELATIONSHIP THERAPIST WHO TED EXPLICITLY MENTIONED WAS MICHELLE’S PERSONAL THERAPIST FIRST???

THAT THERAPIST???

HEY ASSHOLE IT’S FUCKING ILLEGAL TO SLEEP WITH YOUR CLIENTS

[theheroheart]

I was just made aware they changed what Dr. Jacob's texts to Ted say in episode 3x4, after the episode was released.

Originally streamed version:

Currently streaming version:

"Just want you to know, I feel like you and Michelle are making progress!"

What else have they changed? How can I trust??

[incorrectuksies]

jack: is everything okay?

davey: am i a mess?

jack: of course you are. that's why we get along.
