“After being benched for Zava earlier this season, back in the starting lineup and today, the Welshman played like a man reborn”

TED LASSO | 2X07 // 3X09

One of my favorite parts of Ted Lasso this season has been the bond between Trent and Colin. I can't tell you how rare it is to have an intergenerational relationship between gay men on TV that isn't painted as bitter, bitchy, or predatory. I'm also glad that, unless the last three episodes throw a huge curveball, they aren't giving us the old routine of pairing them up because they are, up to this point anyway, the only canonically queer men on the show who are regular characters. This is so important. If people tell you this story isn't realistic, all I can say is it's an unreality I wish could become more real.

Assisting both goals in a man-of-the-match performance. Wow, Hughes was sensational, Arlo. After being benched for Zava earlier this season, he’s back in the starting lineup, and today, the Welshman played like a man reborn.

The fact that Ted Lasso cut away from Colin coming out to the team, after we hear him saying he doesn’t want to be a “spokesperson”, is so powerful to me.  As much as I love queer representation in media, I feel like sometimes there is this hyper-focus on the coming out scenes, as the pinnacle of the queer experience that get thrust into the spotlight for the emotional payout from the audience. 

That may resonate for some people, as coming out is obviously a big thing and can feel like a spotlight moment.  But I feel like there are a lot of people out there whose greatest wish is for coming out to not be a thing. To not be a big moment.  To not have to be a spokesperson.

And I love that Ted Lasso gave Colin that.

KAZ BREKKER & NIKOLAI LANTSOV
— SHADOW & BONE

Season 2

“There’s just one thing,” said Kaz, studying the privateer’s broken nose and ruddy hair. “Before we join hands and jump off a cliff together, I want to know exactly who I’m running with.”
 Sturmhond lifted a brow. “We haven’t been on a road trip or exchanged clothes, but I think our introductions were civilized enough.”
 “Who are you really, privateer?”
 “Is this an existential question?”
 “No proper thief talks the way you do.”
 “How narrow-minded of you.”

you ever accidentally create a recurring theme in your writing. you start putting together an outline for something you’ve never written before and get partway through planning, rearrange the pieces, and go “GODDAMMIT THIS IS ABOUT GRIEF AGAIN”? because let me tell you,

the soc specific part of the grishaverse fandom is the only part of the fandom that i think actively ships all the canon ships. leigh bardugo wrote three romantic relationships that were so powerful it killed any chance of discourse. amazing.
