Ted lasso and Succession. The tumblr content is always making my day better.
me going on tumblr immediately after watching a new ted lasso episode to like every single recent post
ooh and I’m not done obsessing over this episode so lemme just add one more thing re: colin’s storyline. so like. I don’t know what the guidelines are for apple tv+’s content ratings and what ted lasso being tv-ma means other than that roy wouldn’t be roy without it, so idk what the guidelines are on the f slur today (although I do know that it has been said in succession at the encouragement of brian cox, but HBO Max is a whole different thing idek). but that being said… they could have kept it in. a room full of white male writers, mostly straight, middle-aged… it could have so easily been a group of people who made the conscious decision to keep the word in for “authenticity’s” sake or in the name of maintaining the weight of the moment or whatever. but they didn’t, because it’s this group of dudes, it’s this group of writers and creators who recognized that everyone would know the word that was said, and who recognized that they didn’t need to traumatize (or, in some cases, re-traumatize) their viewers just for the show’s sake. and it’s a very small gesture of goodwill that is like, the bare fucking minimum if we’re being honest, but I’m still going to applaud them for it. kudos to ted lasso for keeping it classy as always and focusing on the love more than the hate.
My family had a similar reaction and to this day I don’t feel entirely accepted. I know it could be a lot worse. But sometimes i just wish they would love this part of myself too.
I'm so very emotional about Ted Lasso specifying that "we don't care" is a a bad reaction to people coming out because that's what happened to me. I worked up all this courage and I coordinated to get my father, my mother, and my mother's boyfriend all in the same room, and my mother's reaction was, and I quote, "okay, get that scholarship in on time or I'll fucking kill you". And when I was understandably upset, some of my friends tried to convince me that I was overreacting because at least my parents weren't angry or homophobic. Being queer is a part of your identity, you can't say you "don't care" about part of your loved one's identity. Even if you're trying to show that your feelings for someone haven't changed, you're dismissing them. And just like Ted explained, you're leaving them alone.
PS, the story has a happy ending for me, my pediatrician found out how my family reacted and stood up for me to my mother, who I no longer talk to, and the rest of my family is wonderful and accepting
colin's perfect coming out scenario where the whole team reveals they're gay and then they go on oprah is actually the version of ted lasso i've been watching this whole time

The tomgreg stocks have dropped so drastically this season, I can’t think of a single thing that could happen in the next four episodes that would make them recover. It just really feels like such a letdown after what season 3 built up with the Nero and Sporus stuff. I’m not even talking from just a shipping perspective - but their characters and their whole dynamic. What was the point of all of that? Just for Greg to be more or less a background character with very little on the line, and Tom just being normal about his assistant for once?
It just feels like they were building something up and then went “ah yeah, we forgot where we were going with this”.

I swear to god if those men in the Ted Lasso writers room pull out a sense and sensibility themed plot.
The older more emotionally reserved leading lady who conceals her emotions but desperately wants love.
The younger hopeless romantic who wants to be swept off her feet.
The hopless romantic enters into an exciting world wind romance with a rich attractive partner who showers her with attention and gifts. Unfortunately, they have a public scandal which they had already done once before and they choose their reputation over our leading lady.
Eventually, the hopeless romantic realizes that the grumpy old man who’s been looking out for her and allows her to be herself while grounding her is the one for her and they end up happily together.
Back to our other leading lady.
She ends up with the kind man who does not appear to be agreat romantic lead but boasts a quiet intimacy that makes people attach to him, including a previous relationship that is still prominent in his life. Everyone notes how good of friends they are because no one suspects there could be anything but friendship - they continuly miss chances and hold emotions close to their chests. Both putting others needs before their own happiness. Our leading lady eventually lets her guard down and allows herself to express her emotions to him instead of keeping them to herself. They too end up happily together.
Interesting how he said he *was* a straight man in America ?! So not anymore? ;)
Here is my contribution to the fandom
I call it "The Bi Ted Thesis"
someone who doesn’t watch ted lasso wouldn’t understand why watching a man NOT spit at his reflection in the mirror for once is a deeply moving and personal thing to watch, but it is. it just is. 😭

HE/THEY BUTCH LESBIAN KENDALL ROY 🏳️🌈💖
the entire thesis of shivs character has been that no matter how much you distance yourself from other women and step over them to get what you want nothing will save you from their fate once your purpose is done, she was the token woman on the board that Logan needed after the scandal and the one they needed to seal the Pierce deal but now she's been iced out and it doesn't matter that she silenced the girl that wanted to come forward or that she helped with Rhea or even that she was willing to screw over as many others as she needed to because she's still will never be the son Logan wanted and shell never be part of the boys club
