if nobody got me, i know edelmandola got me

As a fan of the 2010s Patriots Squad, why do you think Edelmandola is such a popular ship?

For those who might not know: Edelmandola is the ship name of Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. (:

Now, onto the question itself...!!

For one it's because of the INSANE chemistry that Danny and Jules have always had with each other, both on and off the field!!!

I know that they were both (damn good!) Wide Receivers and didn't throw the ball to each other, but that's also what made them so appealing to many. The fact that they held the same position on such an iconic team will never be forgotten!!

Another thing that will never be forgotten is their relationships with Tom and Rob during that time!!!

Those four really had it all goin' on at the time. 🥺🤧💞

Danny and Julian's combined friendships with Tom and Rob also solidified their bond with each other. People could easily tell how much this group of men meant to each other and how much Jules and Danny in partictular seemed to love, enjoy and appreciate each other. (Although Julian also did-and does!!-love to get fruity/flirty with Tom, too!! 😉😏😍)

But anyway, to bring it back to Danny and Julian...

These two were also friends with each other before Danny joined the Patriots and have remained friends long after he left the team.

Julian has always been very loud on social media and made sure to talk about Danny often, which included giving him shout outs on Insta back when he wasn't even on it!!

Addtionally, Julian always made a post in honor of Danny's birthday and also congratulated him on starting another season as a player, even after Julian himself had retired.

Moving on, Julian and Danny have always been on the smaller side when it comes to height, weight and what one typically thinks of when it comes to football players. Though it is true that they both had-and have!!-big muscles, they are also a bit shorter compared to other men in the league.

This aspect set up their underdog mentaility, which they both desperatly wanted to beat. 😊🐿🦊

Last but not least, the amount of peace and joy that these two have when they are around each other is truly unmatched. They love each other deeply and can't help but to share their love with the public sometimes!!!

I have some clips that I need to share regarding them, but am currently very tired and also have a few other things to do before I go to sleep.

That being said, I WILL reblog this later with cute clips of them being obsessed with each other!!!!!

Well, they're not wrong. Get you a man who looks at you like Julian looks at Danny

Teams change, seasons change, retirement happens but Edelmendola lives on forever ✨💙❤️

[patriots1180]

My heart is broken upon hearing the news that Julian Edelman retired. He's one of my two favorites and was the reason I became interested in football jn the first place. He will forever be my favorite ❤💙. I look forward to all his new wacky adventures and endeavors. And of course will be hoping he drags Dola along for the ride.

Edelmendola: One Ex To The Next Lover

I’ve been obsessed with Carly Pearce’s song “Next Girl” lately, so I decided to write a little ficlet inspired by the song.

I also took some inspiration from Maddie & Tae’s song “One Heart To Another.”

There’s some past Bradelman and a little bit of Danny/Tom here.

Summary: Jules runs into his ex’s new flame and tries to stop him from making the same mistake he made.

@spitfiremonk, @squirreledelman, @infinityandcyanide, @sixringss, @amenbrola, @baetriots.

The only thing worse than Jules running into his ex, is running into his ex with his new boyfriend. Julian and Tom still have some mutual friends, so it’s not exactly breaking news that Tom has moved on. It’s an entirely different thing seeing it, though. 

Julian’s emotions are still pretty raw and he’s honestly not close to getting over Tom’s betrayal. Rob asks him if he wants to go to another bar, but Jules shakes his head because he doesn’t want to give his ex the satisfaction.

“I didn’t know he and Danny were going to be here,” Gronk says.

“Danny, huh? You’ve obviously met him if you know his name,” Jules says.

“He works with me. He’s a really nice guy, actually. Too good for Tom,” Gronk replies.

Julian’s expression softens at Rob’s words. He watches the way Danny’s eyes light up as Tom leans over to whisper something in his ear. He remembers when Tom made him feel like that. Things were so promising at the beginning of their relationship, he really thought he was the one. The night Tom proposed to him was the best night of Julian’s life. He was the happiest he had ever been . . . until he found out three weeks later that Tom was cheating on him. It’s been two months, but it still feels like it was yesterday.

***

When Jules walks into the bathroom, he’s surprised to see Danny washing his hands at the sink. Now that he can see him up close, he understands why Tom’s into him. They’re roughly the same height and build. He’s very attractive and Julian notices how kind his eyes look. He feels like an inconsiderate idiot after he realizes he’s staring. Before he can stop himself, he reaches for Danny’s arm. Danny raises an eyebrow and Jules quickly apologizes.

“I’m sorry. I just want you to be careful,” Jules tells him.

Danny looks confused. “Um . . .  do I know you?”

“No, but I saw you walk in with Tom and I know him,” Julian explains.

“Oh?” Danny responds.

“I know he probably seems like a good guy, but he isn’t,” Jules warns.

“No offense, but you’re a complete stranger. Why should I believe you?” Danny wants to know.

“I wish someone would’ve warned me about him. Don’t just take my word for it. Ask him why his last relationship ended. Or better yet, ask Gronk. Tom’s not who he portrays himself to be. I’m Julian, by the way,” Jules comments.

“You’re his ex,” Danny realizes.

“Yeah. And for good reason,” Julian tells him.

***

When Jules goes to pay his tab at the end of the night, he’s shocked when the bartender tells him that someone already took care of it. He knows that Rob is far too cheap to ever pay for anything unless he’s asked directly. He takes his credit card back and then he hands the bartender a $10 bill as his tip. Right as Julian starts to ask who paid his bill, he feels a light tap on his left shoulder. He turns around and he finds himself face to face with Danny unexpectedly for a second time.

“I figured I owed you for helping me dodge a bullet,” Danny tells him.

“You don’t owe me for that,” Julian lets him know.

“Maybe I just wanted an excuse to talk to you,” Danny flirts.

Jules smirks. “Well, tonight has certainly taken a turn. Looks like Tom’s loss is my gain.”

“Was that your plan all along?” Danny jokes.

“Would you believe me if I said no?” Julian asks.

“Actually, yes. After confronting Tom, my faith in men was briefly ruined. Then I thought about how a stranger was kind enough to warn me about a cheating asshole. You were so sincere. Something about you just seemed so honest. I think you’re one of the good ones,” Danny says.

“Did you really just take a selfie while we’re still naked?” Jules asks.

“I’m texting it to Tom,” Danny remarks.

“You’re not as innocent as you look,” Julian teases.

“I think you figured that out after all the things I just did with my mouth,” Danny quips.

Jules kisses him passionately. “That’s a very good point.”

“I don’t normally do this with guys I just met, especially not with ones that I met at a bar,” Danny lets him know.

“That’s funny. I met Tom at a bar. So being cautious of guys at bars is smart,” Julian says.

Danny laughs. “That’s where I met him, too. He probably used the same moves on both of us.”

“We’re both better off,” Jules comments.

Danny leans in for a sweet kiss. “I’d definitely say so.”

I’m glad we didn’t have to deal with this edelmandola reunion twice this year tbh

My heart is barely dealing with just the one
