beard: when we first came in we were as wholesome and healthy as the family in the brady bunch, and now we’re as dysfunctional and incestuous as the cast of the brady bunch.

ted: i agree with coach beard, this is getting creepy.

jan maas: no more creepy than when trent crimm wears tight jeans and you say “i’d like to slap those bums on the grill”.

trent: WHAT?

ted: first of all, i don’t talk like that and where i’m from it’s perfectly normal to talk about male friends’ backsides.

ted: but you don’t see me saying anything crazy about jamie and roy’ weird relationship.

[jamie and roy look each other in the eyes and hold hands]

jamie and roy, in unison: they’re just jealous.

I see so much trentted stuff because of you. My algorithm is flooded with it. It’s like the great molasses flood, but men kissing.

I don’t even ship them and I’m highly educated on the ship.

Anyways, much love!

This is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me

From the bottom of my heart, love

The thing about Ted/Trent is that it's such a simple ship that it gives it the possibility of it possibly happening because of it.

Like Trent's the one other person Ted interacts with more times than you'd think for a character that isn't even in the main cast.

And like people have said, they could've easily made Trent the antagonist of the show. A reporter who will do anything for a good headline. And that's what they did, but with a completely different outcome. They made him a three dimensional character, someone who values integrity along with the truth. And as someone who has taken journalism in high school and loved it, his character was very enjoyable and relatable to me.

Fuck this turned into a Trent appreciation post instead sorry guys fbfnf

AirBnb aka Book A Room In Your Heart

Trent's ex-wife has just left the country, her work as an embedded journalist once more calling her away, leaving Trent with an ever-present fear for her safety and full custody of their four year old daughter.

It's not the best timing, if he's honest. It comes hot on the heels of Trent leaving his job in a fit of pique and moral outrage at being asked to do an expose on a footballers health with private medical information being leaked by, Trent suspects, the owner of Richmond himself. Anything to draw attention from his messy, bitter divorce. Coping with leaving the career he worked for since he was a child, and a young daughter missing her mother...it's a struggle.

Unsure of how to proceed, but needing someting more than his old job, something deeper, and frankly needing cash in the meantime, Trent figures he can take in a lodger while he figures his shit out. Within hours of putting his spare room up on AirBnB for a long term rental, it's conditionally booked. With his daughter in the home, Trent has stringent rules about who he'd allow in the home, and an email arrived shortly after with a full police background check on one Theodore Lasso, along with all pertinent certification allowing him to work and interact with children, not to mention three glowing personal references.

He seems perfect. Well, perhaps not perfect. His emails are a little...odd, full of hokey charm and off-topic stories, but the man already had a job waiting in London, and just needed somewhere to stay while he set up his new life thousands of miles away from home. Trent figured the American would barely be in the house between his work and hunting for a proper home and so he accepts the booking, imagining just who this Theodore Lasso might be based off the messages they're exchanged, and what he could glean from the references. The man standing on his doorstep with a backpack and a duffle that seemed to be all he'd brought with him of a past life...well, he's not remotely what Trent had imagined.

Ted is hokey, but he's also disarmingly honest, long-winded but earnest, gentle and genuine. He has a pop-culture knowledge that rivals Trent's own, an exhaustive supply of rhymes and the sort of looks that have always turned Trent's head.

To make matters worse, Ted has the absolute impertinence to be good with Trent's daughter, who is understandably in a funk because her mother is away. Ted includes her when he bakes, setting her up with her own little apron and small utensils, getting all flustered and apologetic that he might have overstepped, while in fact Trent is a)about to jump him b) hasn't seen his daughter this engaged and happy in weeks and, most distractingly c) ABOUT TO JUMP HIM.

The audacity of the man to stand there with his sleeves rolled up and flour in his hair, making Trent's flat smell like vanilla and butter and childhood, while he and Trent's little girl sing absolute nonsense ....

Suffice to say, Trent is not God's strongest soldier. The Lord is testing him and he has not studied. Ted is a man in need of a home, much like Trent. A man searching for a new life like Trent, and a way to fill the aching hole left in him by loss and time and grief.

And Trent? He might well get caught up in the whirlwind
