#and sassy is going to take him home now good night
Talking about the possibility of jealous Ted and Rebecca with @cecret-with-c and how you have Ted who would hate it cause to quote jake from b99 “It’s an ugly emotion” and him not wanting to unpack that. We might already be getting jealous Ted with the Sam thing (right?? not just disapproving). Then you would have jealous Rebecca who is petty and scoffing at her biscuits and probably being a bit awkward not knowing how to act while Higgins eventually clicks on.
Thes two would be jealous disasters.
Ted would not want to get jealous and would probably feel it’s against his very philosophy. He would never, ever express it but some Diamond Dogs might catch on. And if the person Rebecca is dating is good for her, he’d be happy for her but get a bit jittery or awkward hearing about them. If they’re bad for her, oh boy… I mean, we’ve seen Ted threaten to stab Rupert with a dart.
Awkward Rebecca is the best. I also kinda see her wanting the absolute best for Ted and therefore being a bit wary about anyone crossing his path and thinking no one is quite the right fit. She doesn’t like his love interests even though everyone else does and one day she realizes oh fuck I’m in love with Ted.
OH MY GOD-
What if we get a failed double date like in When Harry Met Sally?!
