my favorite sitcoms

After the last game of season 3 when they’re all so excited about winning, Keeley being all excited and rushing over with a grin and launching herself at Jamie to hug him and getting caught up in the excitement and kissing him without thinking

Then internally panicking because oh SHIT what is she doing, especially in front of Roy and why did she not think at all before acting and oh god this is going to fuck the good dynamic the three of them have had going on

And then in her panic, overcorrecting and pulling away from Jamie just to immediately turn and grab Roy’s face and give him a congratulations kiss too publicly and right in front of Jamie and in front of practically everyone they know

And the second she’s doing it, her internal panic getting so much worse and she’s mentally like shit fuck fuck fuck that definitely fucked it so much worse why the fuck did I think that would fix anything that was so fucking stupid

But they’re both filled with adrenaline and riding the high of winning the game and they’re both just thrilled from that and getting kissed and still grinning

And instead of fighting, they’re both grinning. And Roy’s still reaching over and grabbing Jamie’s shoulder and squeezing it and giving him an affectionate shake. And Jamie’s still turning and slamming full body into Roy to give him a too tight hug and lift him off the ground. And Roy’s hugging him back and letting Jamie lift him up without complaining and then they’re apart and turning and still just as happily exciting with the rest of the team

When Roy takes over as gaffer, he stops the private training with Jamie to avoid accusations of favoritism. Within two weeks the team beg him to start back up again because:

1) him and Jamie are sniping at each other again and while it’s not loan season bad, it’s making everyone anxious and clearly the two of them need that time together to get it out of their system everyday, and more importantly,

ted lasso: also mother somehow

And thinking about how a big part of season 3 was Keeley moving on with Jack at the same time as we were seeing Roy figuring out what to do with his single person time by volunteering to help Jamie get even better and reach his career aspirations…

Also thinking about season 1 and how Jamie was portrayed as a big man baby who couldn’t do anything by himself and constantly needed Keeley around and to do things for him by the way Keeley made his appointments for him and picked him up and went with him and how he brought a backup date and was sleeping with someone else right after the break up with the whole what was I supposed to do shower alone thing

And about how in season 2 the issue we saw with Roy and Keeley was Roy enjoying spending every minute together and doing everything together while Keeley felt smothered by his constant presence

Summary:

“I’m sorry to barge in on you like this,” Laken says, shoving his hands deep in the pockets of his sweatpants. “But I had this conversation with Jamie, last night, at the pub and I… I can’t shake it, something he said.”
