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.

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

when your best friends boobs are soo heavy he can barely carry them so ur like hey man do u need a lift? and u offer support because thats just what friends do u know

Anytime I watch one of these incel coded movies that only portray male mental health with anger issues, I get reminded of Dennis Reynolds and the fascinating decision to give him BPD, the disorder of feeling too much. It's such a fkn fantastic idea that completely strays away from the usual apathy as a solution to anger. And with this new knowledge, the narrative around his character is shifted. Dennis is still an angry misogynistic character but it's explicitly a coping mechanism and an exaggerated facade to try and fit in within this culture.

What is glamorized in bro culture, here it's carefully developed against it. Bro culture strives to have control, to have no-strings attached sex, to be angry and strong and the leader of the house. When it comes to Dennis, he would need the total opposite to truly strive. No control, a meaningful relationship where he feels seen, to feel the totality of his emotions, to not have responsibilities.

Another day, another time where I see an adhd post on my timeline and find out that the actor of my comfort character liked the post too 💕

i didnt put an "other" option on purpose but please expand in the tags. also i am talking about LIKING someone, NOT loving someone.

Glenn Howerton is a grown ass man who says oopsie and oh dookie

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.

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)

Thinking about Frank vs Russia again. And about the confirmation that the SINNED system was created at the same time as the DENNIS one. We know Dennis perfected his system for women but we haven't seen him ever date a man or keep a man. We have no confirmation of what he's done, and based on Dennis' eagerness in knowing if Dee and Mac got 2nd dates, I like to think he's never even tested it before. It was all based on observations. He kept it secret all these years and finally saw potential now to test it out through them. When's the second date? He's eager to know. Does it work.

And it does. Ofc it does. It was foolproof. He knew that.

Dennis isn't against a romance with Mac. The system exists since s6, Dennis clearly WANTS to keep a man. He just doesn't understand how that's already happened. Mac likes him? Wdym, he hasn't done the steps yet. Dennis just confirmed that the system works.

We know Dennis' outburst basically meant "You can't be in love with Johnny because he doesn't love you Mac, I don't love you. Move on."

But it also meant "You can't be in love with Johnny because Johnny is me! And you're not in love with me!"

Dennis is rejecting love on all grounds, in both directions. This isn't part of the plan, part of the scheme. This isn't his goal, not now. He's not ready and Mac isn't either.

The goal was simply to get Mac's attention back. To bring them back on equal footing. To be friends again. Dennis is fixing the friendship first, and Mac is being impatient and an idiot and jumping at romance and ruining the careful pacing Dennis is creating.

The things I would do to read any of your big fics even unfinished are so bad. I feel like they would rewrite my brain.

FOR CANADIANS! Here's two links to contact your representatives. Pre-written emails!!

Here's a link for a gofundme by someone I know who works with people inside Gaza! Although now with the blackout, we need all the help coming from the West !! WE have the power to speak still. Let's use it I'm begging.

If you are unable to afford donating, this link allows you to click a button every 24 hours in order help donate to Palestine.

American mutuals, I seriously urge you to tell Congress and Biden to stand with Palestine, and do not stop sending this message. You can also donate here.

This is not a war; what Israel is doing to Palestine is genocide. Do not sit idly by and do not stay quiet. Now more than ever is the most important time to not look away.

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

READ

You cannot hide your islamophobia and xenophobia behind Hamas. The frequent use of "Palestinians are oppressed by Hamas" only serves to divert the attention away from the full on genocide happening BY Israel.

What's been happening is Israel throwing sewage water on Palestinian homes to force them out. What's been happening is Israel calling apartments to tell them "Hello, this is the Israeli military. We need to bomb your home."

What's been happening is churches, hospitals, refuge centers getting bombed. There is no where to go.

What's happening is the UN Assembly calling for a ceasefire winning 120-14 votes. But assembly resolutions are not legally binding like security councils are. So Israel completely disregarded that "despicable call". They're "expanding operations" and launching a ground invasion.

What's happening is that Israel shut down connection inside Gaza since Friday. The skies have been lit up the entire night by intense airstrikes and nobody can call medics or ambulances. Nobody knows what's happening.

The world asks for a ceasefire and Israel removes connection to stop the world from knowing the truth.

There are some accounts left on Instagram with Wi-Fi because they use Turkish SIM cards. Here's two I follow.

There's no electricity. Hospitals don't have fuel. Children don't have bread. Wounds and pseudomonas infections are being treated with vinegar. The death count has reached more than seven thousand.

THIS IS TERRORISM

girl/girl dont like dont look

old iasip animation i never finished. i might at some point idk

Christina Aguilera started singing Guy What Takes His Time in Burlesque and all I could think about was Victoria

We're all aware that Dean Pelton repeatedly harassed Jeff and stalked him right.

The thing that gets me the most is that nobody would brush this off if it was anyone other than Jeff. Imagine the Dean's behavior on ANYONE else than him. Stalking Shirley's house to move in next to her. Putting his hand on Annie's chest. Reading Abed's private emails.

Jeff constantly gets objectified and it's easy to brush it off because it's built up in his character.

He's the definition of the "you're just a pretty face with nothing underneath."

Because he's terrified of showing anything underneath, because even he has trouble accepting and understanding what he needs.

So he objectifies himself. Hot male lead that gets the girls and gets hit on by men and women. It's to be expected, it's the formula, and if the Dean sexually harasses him, it's probably not a big deal.

Jeff has been making excuses for the Dean for years. He is too forgiving, often at the expense of himself. On one hand because he's self destructive. On the other because he spent too long without friends and family to hold grudges or be mad at them. But he has to stop running away from his emotions and cope properly. He's allowed to be hurt.

ladies and gentlemen, victoria von hemen

(on stage vs after hours)

When they're alone Victoria lets Joyce doodle with markers on her press on nails and it's okay if they don't match. When one falls Joyce puts it in a jar like a little art museum.

i know victoria is glam but she should also get a bit silly with it. she has lipstick on her teeth and rips in her tights and joyce pierced her ears with a rusty sewing needle and she had to take antibiotics for it and when they kiss their teeth click together and they cant keep from giggling at how good life can get

i am not capable of being normal about this

i still think its funny how people misinterpret the gang chokes as dennis wanting mac to Take Charge, take care of, and control him rather than just wanting mac to be more self-assured and reliable (ie. able to save someone from dying of his own free will) when one of dennis' common complaints in early seasons was that mac was too bossy. if you ever find yourself talking about power struggles, remind yourself that dennis doesn't want real power, he just wants the illusion of power. he only needs this because he doesn't want to be out of control. he's happier when he and mac are on equal footing.

I'm sure there has to be meta surrounding Dennis and keeping the cameras constantly rolling but I haven't seen any (feel free to direct me to them), do we all think he's doing this in some part out of self protection?

Not to undermine how creepy and invasive it is for the women to be filmed, but I really do believe he feels safer with video footage.

We know Dennis has control over every particle in his life and he's tired, he's fkn exhausted, he wants to let that control go sometimes, he wants to be bound, but it's scary to be that vulnerable, he can't fully allow that for himself, so he keeps some sort of power advantage with the cameras. Just in case. So maybe, maybe, those cameras Dennis has in his room are proof for him that he's safe, he'll be safe.

And then he shows the footage to his friends to make sure it all went well, that everyone's happy, to receive praise that he did a good job.
