listen. as much as i genuinely adore the idea of ted teaching trent to ride a bike (i love that little trope SO fucking much) it is also very funny and wholesome for ROY to be teaching trent to ride a bike. and even funnier than that??? JAMIE
(via @despite-everything) #no i literally love this#ted is an obvious choice. cute and sweet but ROY?#that's also wonderful. thinking about roy teaching trent how to do something he only recently learned#and thinking about the exploration of their new friendship there is lovely (and funny)#but JAMIE??? yeah that's hysterical#especially since jamie and trent seemed to have had a pretty decent rapport for a player and a journalist even back in season 1#but i can just picture jamie being like 'jesus christ how are there so many old men around me who can't ride bikes'#he would be so funny about it#ted lasso
(via @tredcrimso) #okay but. ted wants to be the one to teach trent.#like he has a whole plan on how he's gonna trick trent into it one day.#there might be a picnic involved. it's totally normal to want to take your guy friend on a picnic.#anyway so that's his plan.#but the thing is.#the thing is roy also wants to teach trent#like as soon as he finds out he starts thinking of a way to casually teach trent.#he's not gonna offer. but if like. there happens to be a bike in the parking lot one evening. and they're walking out and trent spots it.#(because *roy* isn't going to spot it. obviously.)#roy can be like. well whatever get on it then. it's time you learned you old prick#so that's roy's plan that he totally doesn’t have#and then meanwhile jamie hears trent can't ride a bike.#not even from trent. from roy and ted. who absolutely have never discussed trent or trent's inability to ride a bike. over drinks.#with beard chiming in.#anyway. so jamie hears that trent can't ride a bike.#and he just straight up approaches trent one day and is like. heard you can't ride a bike. i could teach you. if you want.#and trent is like i'm an impatient student.#(which is what his father told him after their one lesson attempt.)#and jamie is all no worries. i taught roy kent to ride a bicycle. if i can teach him i can teach anyone.#and trent is all *you* taught roy kent to ride a bicycle?#so anyway. they decide to meet after work one evening and jamie teaches him how to ride a bike.#and trent just...cycles past the crown and anchor. with jamie close behind.#while beard ted and roy are having drinks outside.#and ted and roy are both. so crushed.#also since when do trent and jamie hang out?#(they actually start hanging out a lot after this)#and the next day at work ted acts all chipper and excited like. trent you learned to ride a bike good for you!!!#meanwhile roy is like. if you wanted to learn you could have asked me.#to which trent replies why learn from the student when the master is available?
you both have such huge brains
