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.
one of my favorite things is how hard Glenn always laughs, with his full body and volume out of control, and in my mind it ties really well with how Dennis feels things so much deeper than others. It's nice to think that laughter is also smth that would be amplified for him and not just angst, u know?
I choose to believe that after Abed moved to LA Jeff sent him a text saying "I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you, and hopefully by the next time I see you I'll know how to say this in person, because I'm going to work on my mental health issues and make sure I never take them out on you again" and if the movie shows him acting to the contrary of this promise I choose to believe I can reach through the screen and shoot him 😊
i am not capable of being normal about this
This is for people of Israel/anyone who supports Israel/anyone who wants to stay "neutral" about this genocide, remember that this is how your fav "defenders/heroes/government servants are supposed to be responsible" are talking about innocent Palestinians civilians:
If you choose not to speak on this matter, if you choose to not speak up for Palestinians, then be well assured, 100% guaranteed that what's happening in Palestine can (and will if you let Israel get away with MASS MURDER) also just as easily happen to you, and then there will be other people who would stay "neutral" and silent on this matter.
If you think that the reason you're not taking sides is because you don't really know the situation that well, then EDUCATE yourself. It is your responsibility, as a fucking human, to do your research to stop and prevent such atrocities from being committed.
(I know, I FUCKING KNOW I have at least a few dozen followers from Israel/support Israel/ZIONISTS who are reading this and I know that your eyes may be blind, but your hearts aren't. Don't be a hypocrite, and don't be ignorant)
Random thought that popped in my brain but the way the most two iconic episodes for Jeff/Abed (Communication Studies and Critical Film Studies) are both movie related episodes where Jeff just fully fkn engages in ?? People get stuck on how Trobed have their dreamatorium (and I obvs love that for them) but like Jeff too AGH !!
It's really interesting to see how Trobed relate to each other in a more neurodivergent way, and so they use a more creative mindspace, but when Abed is with Jeff, Jeff kind of plays the role of the bridge between fiction and reality and so you get more open spaces (ie. him renting an entire diner for the bday party)
That way, both experiences are special and unique on their own, and both are so so cool to explore.
The use of Studies in both titles is also interesting to me, because that's now a space where both Jeff and Abed can learn in. It's just so comforting and safe?? Love me some healthy dynamics.
