#presenting Dennis Reynolds : A Mood™️

is it any wonder that everytime troy’s hurt, he calls out for abed? after all, abed’s the first one who looked at troy and said “i see your vulnerability and i love what i see.” abed’s the first one who said “i know you don’t want to be strong, and i know you don’t yet have the strength not to be.” and finally, abed’s the one who told troy “when you’re ready, let me be strong, let yourself be delicate, and you will see your beauty in us.”

do you have any jabed headcanons to share with the class ??

I SURE DO

Their first couples costume is (predictably) the Inspector and Thoraxis. It fits perfectly with Abed’s hyperfixation and Jeff’s need to be shirtless as often as possible. 

Jeff is so convincing as Thoraxis that leaked video footage of them making out causes a not so small scandal in England. Nigel Cuthbertson has to give an interview on the BBC showing that he has his wife were on vacation in the Maldives and not anywhere near Greendale, CO

Abed knows that Jeff is a huge nerd after he crashed in the dorms that time, but he doesn’t know how huge a nerd until he spends the night for the first time. He finds Jeff’s stash of ultra-rare Marvel comics and gets so excited he may be physically vibrating 

Jeff has an amazing comic hook up, and spends way more money buying Abed rare favorites than he would ever admit

Side note: Jeff is so excited about playing Hot Lava because he wants that fucking comic; not for the $50k, but because it’s actually missing from his collection 

One time they’re holding hands at the mall when Jeff gets tackle-hugged out of nowhere by Willy Jr. Jeff nearly has a complete and total panic attack when Willy zones in on their hands, but rather than parroting the William Winger homophobia Jeff has been fearing for years, his little brother loudly exclaims “SEE I TOLD DAD REAL MEN HOLD HANDS.” 

 This is how Jeff gets stuck spending the rest of the day holding hands with his little brother at the mall while Abed takes pictures and spams the group chat with them

One time Abed forgets his stim toys, and his tapping on the table is making Annie look homicidal. Jeff texts him asking him to info dumb the entire plot of Kickpuncher: Detroit via text. The movement of his thumbs across the keys and the focusing on on a truly shitty movie helps keep Abed grounded

Jeff doesn’t speak to Britta for a week after he learns Troy and Abed know about his more embarrassing kinks

After Abed and Jeff start dating, Jeff ends up buying Britta a bottle of really nice vodka. Turns out Abed really took the nickname “Nipple Play Winger” to heart

i am not capable of being normal about this

because I have been watching my way through IASIP youtube keeps giving me "iasip autism comps" etc and they always include dennis' reaction to the buzzer in the family fight ep but what about this

As per my username, my favorite Community line ever is in the finale when Jeff says "I'm sort of a hero that way" because it's slightly cocky and perfectly Jeff; it's so simple yet SO impactful and ties the entire show so beautifully.

Jeff starts his life as a narcissist, thinking he's cool and powerful cuz he can fool the juridical system by faking his degree and getting away with it. It's what he tells his father about himself after decades of not seeing him because that's what Jeff deems to be the prideful accomplishment of his life.

But after 6 seasons, Jeff learns that being a hero is simply living everyday. It doesn't take big achievements, he doesn't need to dazzle anybody to feel seen. He doesn't need to write "You're special" on his bathroom mirror and stare at it until he believes it.

He's simply a hero for letting people into his life and learning how to love others. How to love himself. How to continue pushing forward in life.

And it's so simple. Because like Jeff said once, the truth isn't life-shattering. It's painfully obvious.

It's simply living life. And that makes his entire story so deeply relatable.

Because in the end, we're all like Greendale students. Sucky people working on ourselves to be less sucky.

Friends can't carry you, they are there to pick you up and support you but you need to walk your own path. This takes time and it never gets perfect, never gets predictable. But we can still be okay. Because we’re all afraid of the same thing. So none of us is ever actually alone.

Jeff realises that he does indeed have tools to face anything the future throws at him. It's a newly found confidence he can now use as his life ring buoy. He can slowly learn to trust himself and his own capacities again. Not be dependent on others.

Jeff is a hero for having gained those tools. For having worked so hard on himself.

And we're heroes for that too.

.......can we talk about jabed

YES ANYTIME you can DM me, spam your thoughts, anything ! If I take a day to respond, I'm just focused on finals rn but I'll always always respond 💕

do you guys feel shiv's total trust in tom, but manifesting not as love but in how she picked him over nate because nate broke when she tried playing with him but she said that line to tom with absolute certainty that he's better, that he's stronger than that

people will be quick to say shiv underestimates tom and while that's true for his business experience, she overestimates his toughness as seen by her frequent pleas of "i need you"

to shiv, tom is her rock, tom is the guy she met when she was at the lowest point in her life, tom is strong and he can take being played with and she can "build a home thinking she's strong there" but she also undermines the implications of how a marriage is a teamwork and so nothing important can be build if she doesn't put in her own share of the work
