So What If Mac Was Acting So Strange With His Uncle Donald Because He's Terrified Of Ending Up Like Him,

Usually sitcoms I see barely provide any character growth because that consistent routine is what provides comfort.

But Community... this show did smth else. Every single episode provided growth for the characters, tiny little bits that add up and create such realistic growth. It takes time, it takes multiple tries, but they all do it. And that's how the show provides comfort. Not through routine, through change. And that's SUCH a major theme in this show.

Change is scary, often unpredictable, but we need to let go to be able to grasp new experiences. We need to learn to trust ourselves and trust people and take comfort in how, deep down, all humans are scared of being alone. So even if friends hang out less or move abroad or get married, we'll always have each other.

This show heals.

HELP ME I HYPERFIXATED ON THE OLD ASSHOLES 😭 Imagine liking Rand Ridley ahahahahahahahahahahaha TT

Okay here's my silly Inside Job art dump

Sometimes, your favorite character is someone who gives you joy by daydreaming of yourself running him over

(oh yeh the dipshit drawing is inspired by that one good omens scene)

it’s December 10th!

you know what will live rent free in my head until the end of time,,,

the deleted scene from cereal defense where dennis goes to strangle dee and she de-escalates by grabbing and massaging his hands. and it works. he immediately calms down and listens to her.

hot take this is how Jeff Winger did his lawyerly things and STILL how he grades papers

thinking about mac again. thinking about ‘this is about families getting back together and raising little boys so they could be happy again’ and how all mac wants is stability. thinking about ‘my guess is that you’ve been confused for a very long time’ and how he couldn’t even come up with a retort because, it’s true, he had been confused, but up until that point he probably didn’t even know what was confusing him. thinking about how he was neglected by his parents and then the catholic church instilling the belief in mac of ‘the original sin of being born’, and how, in his mind, the logical conclusion was to give up every part of himself for everyone else so that he could finally earn redemption for sins he hadn’t even committed.

thinking about him realising in the arbitration office that his friends actually genuinely didn’t care whether he was gay or not. how, for the first time, he realised he had unconditional acceptance.

thinking about how the gang may not be functional, but at least they are stable.

Nicola Coughlan is the it girl of 2024 but ruining relationships and characters in Bridgerton in order to make her character the sole focus was not the fan service move to make.

1) There's plenty of amazing posts about the absolute horrible writing of Cressida this season. It's so confusing to tell us to root for her in part 1 only to expect us to be happy at her horrible downfall in part 2 with a shitty voice over of Penelope apologizing.

2) I love the writing of Polin's relationship but the final love confession of Colin stands out from all the rest and makes no sense to me. Why would Colin tell Penelope that if he has no dreams, he will be content and happy to be her husband and to love her. What was the point?? The only reason he said that is to flip the gender roles of Portia's sentence when she was telling Penelope that men have dreams. women have husband's. Is Colin's dream being loving his wife supposed to make him a feminist icon? Pen's only wish was partnership, established by her defying Colin's "I'll show you everything" and instead asking him to "teach her". She just wants respect. She kept telling him that his writing is good, why doesn't he genuinely follow that as a passion. It's not a competition, they can both be good? Now it feels like he said "I'll publish my manuscript, and if I succeed I succeed, if I don't it's okay I have my wife." Okay, but you're allowed to keep working on it? You don't have to like, give up? Aim high, aim succeeding. Writing can still be his dream, and he can still love his wife. They can co-exist. Benedict kept saying that love is not finite. Colin can love writing and love his wife. He can work hard on his dream and still support his wife's success with no jealousy.

3) Why did Portia only focus on getting closer to Penelope and not the other sisters. It was literally up to Pen to fund their ball to finally put a smile on Prudence's face. Singling out Penelope like that to shower her with love still outcasts her from the rest of her sisters instead of forging a family bond with all of them.

Cressida losing is not a win, Colin not having dreams is not a win, her sisters not getting motherly affection is not a win. What the fuck.

Did you guys notice how Jeff entered the shop already looking at Abed and immediately pulled a chair to sit next to him.

Did you guys notice how Abed wasn't surprised and started opening up.

Did you guys notice that both of them were shocked to see anybody else in the shop and how the others all had yogurt in their hands because that's what they came in for.

But Jeff came for Abed. Because he knows his comfort spaces and where he'd be to cool down. And the easiness they both fell into shows that they've done this multiple times.
