it’s the way i’d love to hear your thoughts on lesbian annie and jeff specifically lmao it resonates so much a lesbian who experienced crazy comphet
oh. my GOD.
YES!!!! I THINK ABT THIS ALL THE TIME I LITERALLY MADE A POST ABOUT THIS
personally my comphet was never super bad, but even still i relate to her a lot in the ways her comphet manifested
annie edison is the biggest lesbian on this planet and you can never convince me otherwjse. her relationsgip with jeff absolutely REEKS of comphet; the way she seeks out his approval, the way she likes him because he's emotionally unavailable. he seems unnatainable, so in theory, he's the perfect love interest for her
annie HERSELF admits that she doesn't like jeff, she just likes the idea of loving him. she likes rhe idea of making someone like jeff fall in love with her.
even her interest towards troy in season 1 is very heteronormative, because annie happened to pick THE most popular guy in highschool to crush onc because he never would've given her the time of day
her interest in jeff also seems very situational to me, in a way? she likes him when it's convenient for her to like him, and is disinterested when it becomes an inconvenience, or when another love interest shows up (like rich)
thats all i have to say dor now but LESBIANNIE TRUTHERS RISE!!!
abed nadir i hate you why are you so relatable. i will NEVER get over introduction to finality or geothermal escapism because. he went from: "i'm not talking to you, i'm not crazy." to "i don't wanna be crazy, but i am crazy, so.."
i feel like too many people skip over introduction to finality because annie literally says "i'm worried about abed! he hasn't left his room since troy left. not even to play in the dreamatorium!"
like HELLO???
also the next trobed edit will be happy trust. mainly because i pinky promised my moot and i'm a man of my word
brad: really? now i'm confused. why would he say that?
poppy: what do you mean you're confused? have you seen the way you look at people??? you have this... glare.
brad: no, i know. it's just that with david, i actually try to look approachable. i even smile.
poppy:
brad: gives his best attempt at a smile, the way he did at rachel and dana when they announced their relationship to him and he had to give a whole monologue on why he doesn't give a single fuck
i'm back to say i've come back to community and i've been thinking a lot about the state of troy and abed's relationship through the seasons and why they work so well comedically but, somehow, the writers weren't able to sustain their friendship to the end. (not even talking about s5 here. the cracks started showing in s3.)
the obvious answer is that sitcoms tend to go down in quality over time, the characters becoming flanderised versions of themselves and losing who they are, but i can't really say that - barring the gas leak season - abed or troy lost who they were for the entirety of the time they were on the show together.
i think what doomed them from the start was that they were not only comedic partners in a sitcom, but best friends. there was a tangible realness that underscored all their actions, beyond the cheesy heightened melodrama of most sitcom relationships (platonic or otherwise) that audiences could recognise and wanted to see develop. so, develop they did.
but troy and abed both appear in the show at a very interesting point in their lives. every member of the main cast, of course, has major change in the trajectory of their lives at greendale, but troy and abed in particular come off several years of being a kind of half-person. troy spends most of his life playing into the character of the popular jock, someone who is still inside him throughout the series but becomes increasingly diminished, a voice in his ear rather than this all-consuming persona. abed is who his father wants him to be. he's never had any friends, spent most of his childhood bullied and most of his adulthood thus far pursuing his interests in a vacuum and inside his own mind, with no one to share them with. for lack of a better term, troy and abed come of age throughout the run of community. they figure out who they are as individuals.
and, frankly, as geothermal escapism put it best, it's impossible to figure out who you are on your own when you're being consumed by another person. i'm not saying that either one of them is guilty of this, but what started as a close but casual 'fling' of sorts between the two of them became increasingly intense to the point of overwhelm, and as they started moving away from their early-season caricatures and becoming complex and flawed and human, things between them naturally became more intense on a deeply emotional level. the writers recognised this. never crossing the line into romance, they had to express troy and abed's love for each other through every other method under the sun. we see them, in their own misguided and silly ways, sacrifice what they want for each other over and over again. until it's too much.
too much to believe? too much to handle?
troy and abed remind me of that very best friend you have as a queer kid. you're stepping out from your parents' or your siblings' shadows for the first time and here's this person to catch you. you love them more than words can say. then they're gone, because nothing so childish lasts, and you can't really explain why it meant what it did. the person they were, maybe, and who they were to you, but you also know that no one, no matter what they're like, will ever be this special again.
and so even though we can't cling onto those people, because we get older, we change, we grow up and we grow apart, it is really fucking hard to let go of the first person you've chosen to let into your life.
and because the community writers are fantastic at their jobs, we get to see that reality play out in front of our eyes.
have i ever mentioned how pheobe coded they are. like i cant think of a single pheobe or boygenius song that ISNT them. boygenius trobed edits r on the way i hope you guys are excited (I am feeling evil)
they dont even know the “i can excuse racism” and guy walking in with pizza memes are from the gayest weirdest most mentally ill show of the 2000s that got cancelled twice and sent an entire streaming platform into bankruptcy
Fantastic show with a lot of behind the scenes drama. Show creator was booted for a season, one of the actors (CC) was super difficult to work with, and as self aware as it was it still stubbed its toe a whole lot on important issues.
It wasn’t the gayest show, tho, what are you talking about?
yeah for sure, it wasn't perfect and it's important to acknowledge where the media we consume falls flat. as for the other thing, i was referring to the massive amounts of unprotected gay sex the characters of troy and abed were having off-screen and occasionally on-screen as well. if you keep track throughout all six seasons they make out and have gay sex over 300 times, which is way more than we'd consider socially acceptable these days. this was actually a huge problem and as you know contributed to the show's double-cancellation
i lost hope in the east coast by alex g!!!! but make it trobed!!!
thinking about abed post geothermal escapism genuinely makes me feel ill like im not kidding??? he's still abed but he's. self admittedly not the same as he was before troy left
i really wished the show went more in depth on this but at the same time im glad it didnt because i'd feel nauseous seeing abed be so upset
thinking abt abed blaming himself for troy leaving and wishing he didn't let his guard down. thinking abt abed convincing himself that troy leaving was inevitable. thinking abt him changing who he is as a person to prevent others from leaving him.
thinking about annie and abed coming home after troy leaves and abed just. starts bawling his eyes out because he has no idea how to process anything. thinking about annie helping abed with his meltdowns and helping him with his depression after troy leaves
whenever abeds despondent she's able to be there with him and stay with him. i love u abedison you are so bffs
has anyone made a full list of every movie mentioned in community (in order) and if so can someone give it to me im trying to become more media literate
(image ID: a four panel comic with three crudely drawn figures sitting in chairs, and a fourth chair. There is a banner above them that says "community fandom on Tumblr", and a tumbleweed. Another figure walks onto the scene and takes a seat. The new member has a speech bubble over their head with a picture of clone Abed and Troy hugging in the episode Geothermal Escapism of Community. The other members are now crying, one of which has fallen on the floor. end ID)
HELP I was talking to my mum about mythic quest and she said "I wouldn't want to be friends with Brad but I would quite like to be his therapist" I'm dying
it's actually criminal that jeffannie fans STILL exist or that people think annie likes men in any capacity. as a lesbian i'm not exaggerating when i say annie edison is the most lesbian coded character i have ever seen in my entire life, intentional or not 😭
she self admittedly didn't actually care about troy romantically when she had a "crush" on him, and only wanted to feel in control? incredibly interesting that she had a crush on the most popular guy at riverside, who wouldn't ever take an actual interest in her. she liked him because he was unnattainable HELLOOOO??
she's incredibly repressed and uncomfortable around sexual topics, and while, yeah maybe she's just like that!!! but when you read her character through a queer lense, it just seems like shems uncomfortable with the topic of sex with men. a very common theme with her!!
she seemed nervous/possibly even anxious because she was worried paige's friend in early 21st century romanticism would assume she's a lesbian, when given the oppurtunity to kiss a woman she was very non-hesitant and even seemed excited?? annie edison i know what you ARE????
don't even get me STARTED on her relationship with jeff, because i could literally talk about this allll day
all i'm gonna say is. she admits that she only likes the idea of being with jeff, which is a very common thing when suffering with comphet
that's all i have to say today annie edison nation i hope u see the vision
