something that tends to pop out at me a lot whenever i rewatch community that i feel goes somewhat underdiscussed is that its a recurring aspect of Troy’s character that he just really does not want to think for himself or make his own decisions. I mean in football feminism & you he straight up says “i miss being told what to think” and then his entire relationship with Abed is… don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t say abed is controlling of troy to any sort of toxic degree since abed just very much wants the best for troy forever, but troy does kind of attempt at times to give up a lot of his decision making agency to abed? mostly thinking of advanced gay & the whole thing where he tries to get abed to determine his entire career path for him . i feel like the way that scene plays out when aligned with troys previous characterization indicates a consistent pattern of behavior. plus his whole speech to the rest of the group in contemporary impressionists about abed being ‘better than reality’ kinda feeds into this (hopefully thats pretty clear by itself cuz i cant quite phrase why right now) as well as the fact his career plan as of repilot was just ‘be financially dependent on abed forever’. i personally think this habit results partially from troys insecurity over his level of intelligence— i.e. its possible he just doesnt trust himself to make decisions— and also from the way hes been taught his whole life just to be & do whats expected of him; in fact i think the latter reasoning is definitely what football feminism and you was getting at, considering the episode’s general focus on troy’s highschool-era maladaptive behaviors.

its worth noting that during the contemporary impressionists - pillows and blankets arc troy directly tries to reject the follower role and argue that he should make some decisions for himself when it comes to his relationship with abed. however ive never really gotten the impression from watching those episodes that troy’s real motivation was not wanting to be a sidekick or a follower; obviously he does want some level of agency but i think his issues were more A. he really Really does not want abed ending up in danger & the possibility of that made troy pretty anxious that it might happen in the future if their dynamic remains as is and B. he’s really, really scared that abed doesn’t care about him at all. most of what troy does in pillows and blankets comes across to me as him redirecting his fear of abed hypothetically not caring about him into anger at ‘being used’ or something of the sort (which, none of that is happening & obviously abed cares about troy an indescribable unquantifiable amount, but troy is currently being manipulated into thinking otherwise and also has a base level of insecurity & fear that actually maybe nobody cares about him at all so its understandable why when that line of thinking is triggered he would jump to such extreme assumptions) and i think the fact that there’s pretty much zero change in their dynamic post-pillows and blankets kinda confirms this; troy is convinced abed cares about him again, and since that was his big problem, everything is Fine Now (even though it realistically probably isnt, but the show doesn’t address any of the tension there again (until it’s kinda indirectly addressed in cooperative polygraphy-geothermal escapism but that could make a whole other post) so they’re at least functional) and troy just kinda goes back to the way he was previously, and none of this ever gets treated as a serious issue again. (for the most part)

i need to post on here more instead of twitter cuz it is genuinely a site engineered specifically to make u the worst version of urself. somebody attacked me 4 one of my takes for the sake of propping up their opinion and i, instead of doing the responsible thing and going ok well its my opinion and stepping back as to not descend to their level, started arguing abt why my opinion is truer than theirs when the whole thing was fucking entirely subjective and i was getting absolutely nothing done by arguing with them. its not like i was gonna convince them or anything nor that their opinion was in any way objectively/morally wrong the toxicity of that site was just genuinely poisoning me i think . im not even like that normally i dont do shit like that i am most of the time a rational individual who is able to sympathize with other sides WHAT r they putting into that website 😭😭😭 tumblr has its issues but i am at least able to function rationally on here. i need to get over my fear of posting on here so i can cure myself of the twitter mold

Something about troycommunity is he is always touching all over abed for no reason god they still hit like crack . troy wanted to have his babies in fact was distraught about not being able to . they filmed a sex tape . they confessed their love In abeds language In their language and then They both lost their memories .

it always flabbergasts me when I see anyone talk about not realizing Leafy or Golf ball or any of the bfdi girls voiced by Cary or Michael weren't boys because I assumed that all the contestants were girls until half way through bfdia. And it wasn't because of voices, it was because I finally paid attention to pronoun usage for Coiny of all characters. Coiny ruined my cast of beautiful women.
