"It's All-terrain, Dummy!"

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.

saw traps ranked on how much i would like to see dennis in them

Do you think there's any importance to Mr Tibbs being called mister instead of a normal plushie name. Like is this a deliberate and desperate attempt from Dennis to get any adult comfort.

i'll be honest i think it was just a reference

MY SCHOOL CAMPUS IS SO PRETTY IN THE WINTER OMGGG

Also this scene from the book, knowing Dennis runs and using it against him. Putting words in his mouth and cornering him.

not a dennis apologist but a ~dennis defender~ when i see everyone somehow missing the fact that mac is literally fucking stated to be the one pulling the strings from the shadows and has been for years while dennis, naïve, known idiot and chronic underestimater of his friends, is the one being played.

Thinking about s2 ep3 where Jeff has his whole freak out over cholesterol and Duncan is the one to come up after class to him and check up on him.

"Mind if I ask what happened in class today?"

It's so simple but Duncan clearly noticed something was wrong and it shows how their friendship is genuine. I seriously wish we saw more of it because while horny loser Duncan is hilarious, he also deeply cares about his friends and can give genuinely good advice.

"While claiming to have no religion, you were actually devoutly worshipping yourself. And now that your God has high cholesterol, you're trying to kick Pierce's in the balls."

And it's so rare to see people worry about Jeff because he always convinces people that he's got it, so people brush it off. But Duncan has been a stable support for Jeff since the pilot when he cared enough to teach Jeff a lesson.

He sees through Jeff's bullshit but he also deeply respects him.

I wanna add how Jeff in s5 just ? suddenly sucks at law ?? Like 😭 the amount of times Jeff joked about it and dismissed his knowledge saying "i teach law at Greendale idk anything about it." This is the man who fooled the entire system for 7 years with no education?! The man who kicked out the Glee club with a cease and desist just for fun cuz he hated their songs?? Jeff practiced law for fun, it came so easily to him. Yeh it was mostly bullshit and 9/11 references, but I doubt that alone led him to be one of the most respected lawyers. They were so adamant on getting him back on the job, they doubled his pay and already had his office ready. It makes me so mad that they turned his law carrier and skills into a joke just to completely separate this "new Jeff" from his shark past. It was so unnecessary.

Also we're never given any reason why his law firm failed. Am I supposed to believe it's just because Abed refused to add Jeff's phone number in the promotional video. And Jeff just?? accepted that fate?? Huh...

to this day i wish that jeff winger had become a defence lawyer at the end of community. like sure. greendale means a lot to him and its cool that he’s a teacher. but he was an excellent lawyer and he clearly loved it! the entire reasoning behind him not going back was that he grew as a person and didn’t want to be a shark anymore. and him being a pro bono small community lawyer that helps people was what he wanted!!! it just didn’t pay the bills!!! i literally see no reason at all for him not to go and become a defence lawyer or a prosecutor or work for a firm that specialises in community or non-corporate cases. like there are so many types of lawyer. so many. corporate, starving or teacher were not his only options here

charmac boybestfriends hanging out in abandoned skateparks and after hours bike rides, idiot4idiot. macden is what if we played a really intense game of gay chicken but like with feelings puppy boy in love with cat boy. charden is looking at a distorted reflection of yourself so you decide to be kind for once like they should’ve been to you. It’s knowing how touch is the most powerful weapon. It’s librarians and uncles and no that didn’t happen, it didn’t, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s feeling too much so you explode or dull it down with crack and glue. It’s two cats trying to escape a storm by holding each other, claws buried in each others backs. it’s letting go and leaving the wounds behind and they scar but never really heal. time passes and the pain is so routine you forget about it then you see each other and now your back is wet and you’re standing in blood.

Woahh does Glenn know he's credited alongside Mike Patton how didn't he cream his pants
