I stand outside the building of the Administration with a comically large boombox. I click play and lift it over my head. The audio is so ear-piercing that people in the front of the building feel as their ear drums rupture. Deep within the Administration the music has reached its intended recipient. The manager of the merge displacement team.
The audio blasting is Gary Come Home from Spunchbob but Gary’s name has been replaced with a text-to-speech voice saying “Jay”.
I am immediately served an Administration Restraining Order filed in triplicate.
#IM. having a moment I’ll be back#I saw a thread on twitter about jays underutilized potential and went yeah so true and started crying#I’m mostly joking#it’s 3am#I’m so. tired#jay#jay walker#spinjitsu screams#Ninjago#dragons rising

The thing I love about Protective!Ted in relation to tedbecca is not the whole ‘caveman angry because someone upset his woman’ but rather, how his anger and dislike for Rupert, and the way that he handles it, signals to (a very mistrustful) Rebecca that his charm and his kindness is not some farce he shows absolutely everybody.
Over time, we learn that Rupert started out charming. He told Rebacca all he wanted was to talk to her, he made her feel special. So when Ted comes in every morning to bring her a batch of homemade biscuits and just, hang out with her. She’s understandably hesitant, because that’s how Rupert got her, and she doesn’t yet understand the difference between charming and nice.
But when Ted faces off against Rupert (eg the gala, playing darts) his responses to her being insulted, belittled and spoken down to, all reveal a level of uncontrollable, genuine care.
Rupert would’ve easily brushed off any insults towards his wife with some charm and good natured teasing, he probably even joined in, the fucking guy. Meanwhile, Ted’s reactions to Rupert insulting Rebecca are always abrupt and defensive. He loses his cool, he says something he’s not supposed to, he reveals something he’s not supposed to, he becomes a guy that even we, the audience, are not used to. But his protectiveness never comes from a place of typical, masculine possessiveness or jealousy. (Okay, maybe a little jealousy. A girl can dream)
In the charity-gala episode, Rupert causes immediate stress for Rebecca. So Ted, not even knowing the full extent of it yet, visibly dislikes this guy from the moment they meet. Even when Rupert’s charming the pants off the crowd and raising charity ‘for the children’ Ted continues to react uncomfortably in his presence, no matter how friendly he is.
Then, when he does get the extent of it, (Rebecca crying, Rupert being the one to cancel the musical guest) he lets that dislike out, openly taking Rebecca’s side. Which isn’t surprising, but is still very sweet.
In the dart episode, Rupert reveals he’s gonna be in the owners box everyday. Ted doesn’t like this at all, but he doesn’t go off his own reaction, he observes Rebecca’s reaction to gauge her feelings on the matter. Rebecca is clearly unsettled and uncomfortable, and you can kind of see Ted mentally go, ‘yeah no, she’s not cool with that, that’s not happening.’
And then even before they play darts, first and foremost, Ted checks if Rebecca would like to leave. Now, we know his character hates conflict, especially after his train-wreck marriage, so we know that he would like to leave. But when Rebecca decides to remain in a bar with her horrible ex-husband, his child-bride and a room full of people who adore him, which is a little masochist-y even for me, he doesn’t even hesitate.
Her reasoning is very English. ‘Make yourself suffer out of obligation to polite society’ type shit. But instead of making her feel silly or ridiculous or forcing her to leave, Ted goes out of his way to ease Rebecca’s suffering and make Rupert leave her alone, even if it causes him discomfort.
Now, I know that Ted is a very caring character and a lot of this can be chalked up to him being a good friend. But with the way they present Ted and Rebeca’s relationship (he calls her boss, she calls the shots, she’s more authoritative) To see him take over for her, without thought, whenever Rupert upsets her, reveals more intimacy and depth to their relationship than we previously understood. And to have her be grateful, and in some instances, downright delighted by this display of care and protectiveness, reveals something else entirely.
Anyway I read twelve protective!Ted tedbecca fics last night and this is what’s left of my brain.

It’s stupid, petty, and downright nonsensical, yet I regularly find myself seeing mutuals reblog posts from someone else that I’ve already reblogged and thinking “you should’ve reblogged that from me 😢”

yes, it is time. the job market is failing me and i am tired of filling out applications. my ancestors may have gone to the town square to beg for a farthing while rattling a can, i’ll do essentially the same thing but without a northeastern american accent.

Ok but if Junpei had lived and was able to go to Jujutsu High School he for real would have become besties with Megumi. Like they both have their little emo philosophies on the world. They both have a crush on Itadori. And Junpei was severely bullied and Megumi beat up bullies for fun like Junpei would have worshiped the ground Megumi walked on lol I fr want an AU where they went to the same school and Megumi beat up all those bullies who did that to him.
Anyways this will never be so I guess I’m just sad now 😔
#jjk#jujutsu megumi#jujutsu kaisen#jujutsu junpei#jujutsu sorcerer#jujutsu kaisen au#jjk megumi#jjk junpei#jjk headcanons#a joke but accurate 👀#i’m mostly joking#kinda kidding about them having a crush on Yuji I just mean that they’ve both never met some one so selfless and kind who cares about them

Me: Violence isn’t always the best solution, and sometimes will fix nothing. Let us be calm, collected, and rational 😇
Also me: Mmm you never got your ass beat before and it shows in the way you’re acting so bold 👀
