As per my username, my favorite Community line ever is in the finale when Jeff says "I'm sort of a hero that way" because it's slightly cocky and perfectly Jeff; it's so simple yet SO impactful and ties the entire show so beautifully.

Jeff starts his life as a narcissist, thinking he's cool and powerful cuz he can fool the juridical system by faking his degree and getting away with it. It's what he tells his father about himself after decades of not seeing him because that's what Jeff deems to be the prideful accomplishment of his life.

But after 6 seasons, Jeff learns that being a hero is simply living everyday. It doesn't take big achievements, he doesn't need to dazzle anybody to feel seen. He doesn't need to write "You're special" on his bathroom mirror and stare at it until he believes it.

He's simply a hero for letting people into his life and learning how to love others. How to love himself. How to continue pushing forward in life.

And it's so simple. Because like Jeff said once, the truth isn't life-shattering. It's painfully obvious.

It's simply living life. And that makes his entire story so deeply relatable.

Because in the end, we're all like Greendale students. Sucky people working on ourselves to be less sucky.

Friends can't carry you, they are there to pick you up and support you but you need to walk your own path. This takes time and it never gets perfect, never gets predictable. But we can still be okay. Because we’re all afraid of the same thing. So none of us is ever actually alone.

Jeff realises that he does indeed have tools to face anything the future throws at him. It's a newly found confidence he can now use as his life ring buoy. He can slowly learn to trust himself and his own capacities again. Not be dependent on others.

Jeff is a hero for having gained those tools. For having worked so hard on himself.

And we're heroes for that too.

other favorite actor joins the adhd squad !!

Another day, another time where I see an adhd post on my timeline and find out that the actor of my comfort character liked the post too 💕

what’s crazy about dennis is that so many viewers probably relate to him but in ways that have nothing to do with each other

Good Omens s2 spoilers

Did the almond theory reach tumblr yet?

I'm believing this with my entire soul, there was too much emphasis on the drink order, there was a music switch when The Metatron walks away with Aziraphale and looks at Crowley, there was manipulation felt for the entire interaction.

With the almond syrup restoring Aziraphale's purity, it would explain why he's so adamant for his friend to end up in Heaven again, an establishment he knows Crowley despises. It would explain why he's willing to give up his bookstore and human delicacies because "nothing lasts forever" while we all know how much he treasures his books and materialistic joys. It would perfectly tie back to the flashback introducing us to Aziraphale's gluttony. It would explain why he forgives Crowley for the kiss, forgives him for not seeing the Greater Good of helping people with Heaven and for preferring such human acts.

i picture a sunny episode where charlie starts a janitors strike and its just him at paddys so the rest of the gang gets to act shitty at him which is always funny. that “awww did somebody get addicted to crack” energy

but it snowballs majorly and he gets other janitors to join

the scene i imagine is him giving a speech on behalf of the janitors that like. starts out with normal strike demands the others all agree with and they get into it all cheering. but as he keeps talking they all realize hes insane “and we janitors demand more cheese for our rat traps so we can have enough extra to snack on while we clean them out” “no longer will you feed your scraps to our yuck puddles they simply get too big and we have enough bones to clean up as it is. and besides we believe its more natural for a puddle to hunt on its own anyway” “the janitors of philadelphia will return to work once our bosses stop purposefully aiming badly at the urinals as revenge for kicking them in our sleep the night before or for taking too much of the blankets”

something. then they question hitching their wagon to him and probably somebody else takes over at that point lmaooo but him assuming normal janitors relate to his life. anyway i want charlie kelly 2 unionize the workers of the world and i want it to end with their demands being met especially the weird ones peace on earth. the rest of the gang 100% spend the episode in filth missing him and the work he does classic them

Please bless me with some headcanons 🥺

Jeff depends on his coffee every morning to fully wake up, and without it he gets really grumpy and annoyed. Abed doesn't drink coffee at all because he hates the taste. Abed starts buying Jeff's favorite brand of coffee and replacing it every time it starts to get low. It takes almost a year for Jeff to realize what's going on, and when he asks Abed about it he says, "I just like it when you're happy in the morning."

Abed is really self-conscious about stimming in public. He always tries to hide what he's doing and Jeff can tell it stresses him out a little. Jeff starts buying stim toys and carrying them in his bag. When he senses Abed getting uncomfortable he hands one to Abed and takes another one out for himself to play with, so Abed doesn't feel like he's drawing attention.

Jeff secretly loves Hallmark Christmas movies and makes Abed watch them year round. Abed only will watch them if he's allowed to give a running commentary of everything wrong with each movie, and Jeff agrees. At actual Christmas time, one of Abed's gifts to Jeff is staying quiet while they watch the movies.

Nothing is more devastating than this. The UN World Food Program has officially suspended aid delivery to northern Gaza, citing violence and lack of safety as major reasons the aid trucks aren’t getting through. Israeli officers are liberally shooting at Palestinians who try to approach the trucks in hopes of getting even the smallest morsels of food, despite the fact that Israel has allowed only one crossing for the already woefully low numbers of aid they’re permitting entry. Reportedly this number has fallen from 140 a day in January to just 60 a day this month, and now 16% of all Gazan children under 2 are “acutely malnourished.” Meanwhile, the US vetoes a call for a ceasefire for the third fucking time. It’s so inhumane in its cruelty it’s actually shocking to see it being allowed to go on and on, and on an international level no less.

Dennis keeping binders about his friends always makes me so sad cuz it appears controlling while it's actually just out of pure love. To Dennis, being known by someone else is what he desperately seeks and he offers that freely to the rest of the gang.
