if I had a nickel for every time a show I liked ended with the main character separated from their found family when it could’ve easily been avoidable, a female main character who was in an unnecessary love triangle ending up single so she can be an independent girlboss, a last minute barely fleshed out boyfriend for the one gay character, and a wlw relationship that ends up being broken up in the same season, and one of the show’s creators got divorced which may or may not have resulted in the finale being shit from a butt, I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Do you think the himbos figured out Michael wasn't his wingman or he had to spell it out

i feel like once he came out to them. i feel he would tell them outright cause he knows they might not get it 😭😭

them: do you have a boyfriend then?

colin: uh yeah

them: who is it??

colin: michael, uh the guy i brought to sam’s restaurant

them: YOUR WINGMAN??

ted lasso’s groundbreaking ending to their queer storylines with colin & trent … I honestly had to laugh a little.

- Colin and Michael kissing on the pitch and nobody saying anything? when the whole thing this season was him not wanting to come out to the world? are we expected to believe no one saw that & that didn’t have any real world repercussions? (not that I wanted to see any repercussions, but to have that be a public gesture was certainly a choice)

- Colin never getting a toy soldier from Ted.

- Colin never introducing Michael to the team as his boyfriend officially after the whole ‘wingman’ set up.

- Trent getting a throwaway line about ‘learning to accept parts of yourself’ or whatever.

- Trent never interacting with Colin again or meeting Michael? Despite most of his purpose this season being to gay mentor Colin? And the whole convo they had about Colin wanting to ‘kiss his fella’ after he wins a match?

- Trent still having zero backstory we actually saw in canon? Who did he come out twice to? An ex-wife? His mom? What’s his daughters name? What’s that situation? There was a pic of her on his desk but she was never addressed again after that throwaway line in Sunflowers

- Apparently he was wearing a wedding ring in the book signing scene but I’d have to go back and watch to confirm? So possibly maybe an implied husband somewhere in the background?

Not impressed. Not amused. Though I can’t say I’m surprised.

anyways if y’all are hurting over this finale here’s a fic I wrote a month ago that features: an actual colin & trent friendship, tons of colinmichael moments, mutual tedtrent pining & eventual endgame, ted giving colin a toy soldier after he comes out, and more. because it’s really not hard to write queer storylines. at all.

michael NEEDS to be in this ep fr. if i have one more day without colinmichael i might just kms

so, colin’s story arcs have fallen on the third and sixth episodes and there are 12 episodes this season, my theory is that colin will have more centric episodes but only on the 9 and the finale ep. and in the finale ep he gets to kiss his fella 🥹
