when I publish my novel I want you all to swear to me that you’re going to write uncomfortably erotic fic about characters I didn’t intend to have sexual tension
Feeling so normal about the thought of ted linking roy and jamie together from the start… roy was falling behind as a leader for the team, but also with his own love of football as his playing career came to and end. And ted saw that jamie needed a strong role model. We learn that jamie has always worshipped roy. And ted instructs roy to become a better leader, SPECIFICALLY by trying to lead jamie to be a better person. The end of Roy’s career as a player is linked, intrinsically, to the rise of Jamie’s career and therefore the start of Roy’s next chapter. Roy can only really become a coach through the work he does with jamie, which also allows him to open up in other areas of his life and become a better man. Jamie only becomes a better person because of what roy does when they’re still teammates, then with roy as a coach once roy sees Jamie’s weakest moment, and then his growth as a player follows obviously facilitated by Roy. They are cosmically perfectly intrinsically linked. I cannot believe this stupid show set up the most perfect star crossed enemies to begrudging coach/player to friends to lovers slow burn and fucked the landing.
it’s actually crazy that jamie thrives on praise like a plant gettin sun, and roy “primarily communicates in grunts” kent who will not give you the time of day let alone a buttered up compliment is who jamie is trying to aquire said praise from. like it’s sooooooooo choice. it’s fucking delicious. mr hotshot facade desperate for attention meet mr emotional constipation. irresistible force meet immovable object literally
i feel like we have to discuss the absolute SHIT that jamie would get when he and roy start dating. the team is like “so the WHOLE time you were fighting each other and making the locker room a horrible place, you just wanted him to fuck you?”
when they eventually visit jamie’s childhood home and see the poster of roy things get 100x worse
Jamie is like I’ve always loved him from afar but I need to accept that he just doesn’t like me like that :( I need to move on and grow up :( and Roy is like I Need To Live Inside His Ribcage
I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.
My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813
*electric guitar riff*
And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like
Some people have been wondering about the raccoon. Listen. Listennn. Don’t ask about the raccoon.
But does the racoon survive the Uruk-Hai? Does he curl up on Aragorn’s head, or does he go straight to Faramir? Does he bite Denethor?
My friend. My colleague. My brother my captain my king. I too have been pondering this question, and in my mind there can be only one ultimate outcome.
A few months later
All hail the High Warden of Gondor.
Epilogue: It ADORES Faramir.
I’m going to wear this on my head like a raccoon and show everyone
I know its fun to be like omg twitter is dying lets goooo
but its really sad that we’re losing yet another form of human communication and years of information because of another ceo baby manchild. I’m going to lose contact with a bunch of friends i’ve made because of this and it sucks
one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.
