for the sleepover asks: here for one rant please !! <3

!!!! alright alright, so this isn't gonna be a negative rant, it's gonna be probably neutral-positive, but something i feel like isn't appreciated and just talked about enough in general is how good of a guy abed is in terms of like, respecting women? i think it gets brushed over a lot because of the way his character is written, people have this urge to cast him as some mansplaining incel (in conventions of space and time he lowkey is written that way which is so not continuous with his character and annoys me but ugh. season 4 whatever.) but like, it literally starts from the very beginning:

britta invites abed to join the study group. she's invited to jeff's fake study group, she knows he's trying to pick her up, suspects the whole study group thing might not be legit - and she's right, it's not, it's a setup so jeff can get her alone. so she invites abed!! abed is a guy that she trusts to be a genuine friend to her. she knows he's friends with jeff, too, and normally that might raise the concern that he'd just end up wingmaning jeff through the whole study group and making it worse for her, but she knows he's trustworthy and i just, ugh, there's something i love so much about abed and britta's friendship, idek what to say. but moving on!

abed's primary thing, especially in the early seasons, is he just wants friends. he just wants to make people happy. he makes no effort to pursue any of the women in the study group, only friendship (and i mean there's also the whole thing where he's in love with troy or whatever but sdfghjhgf). and when it comes to the women specifically, this gets played off as a joke.

like charting their periods - something he ended up doing by accident, because he just wanted to be a better friend, to make them upset less often because he doesn't always know the right thing to say, that he literally went and meticulously charted their moods so that he could be better? that's actually a very sweet thing to do, but it's more or less played off as an "abed is socially inept what a weirdo charting girls' periods' joke. he's kind of played off as a joke in aerodynamics of gender, too, when the girls figure out that they can weaponize him. and he literally asks them if they're sure that what he's doing is okay (and they lie about it) and he does it because he knows it's making them like him more, and that's what he cares about.

there's also the whole thing of like, being very respectful of their bodies. he's not weirded out by the idea of delivering a baby when shirley goes into labor; he just wants to help his friend, doesn't occur to him at all that the whole genital thing is gonna be an issue, because it's not a sexual context at all so why should it matter? same with when he tries following the girls into the bathroom in the art of discourse when shirley's upset. again it's a "haha autistic kid doesn't know social cues and ends up being accidentally creepy" but like, it doesn't occur to him that it's a problem for him to go into the women's bathroom, because he's not going in there with any bad intentions. he's just trying to console his friend, that's what's at the forefront of his mind. he also doesn't understand the whole keeping panties as a trophy thing (cooperative polygraphy) and asks jeff why he can't just buy women's underwear. he doesn’t get the whole “they need to be won in battle” thing, because that’s gross.

anyway, there are probably more specific examples, but this is getting very long, so i’ll just say: out of all the guys in the study group, abed is definitely the one who has the most respect for the women as people. you’ll often see annie or britta holding onto his arm or his hand in a way that they wouldn’t with troy or jeff, because with abed they trust that it’s just comfortable and platonic, and that he won’t try to misread it and make it into something that it’s not, because what’s important to him is just being their friend. we know from physical education that he does just fine with girls, but no one in the group knows that because he doesn’t go around flaunting his body count like a trophy. i don’t know, there’s just so much i love about him. he’s not perfect, but when he’s not treating women ideally, it’s never really rooted in sexism, which is nice.

ANYWAY this is so damn long, i’m so sorry, thank you for giving me this opportunity <3

[clonetrobed]

omg 👉👈 i feel like we’ll have all the same opinions but 3, 4, 7, 18, and 19 for trobed (or jeff and britta, your choice !!) 💘✨🌸

OH YAY WHY NOT BOTH ❤️

trobed

3) who has trouble sleeping alone?

abed is a creature of habit, so once he gets accustomed to sleeping with troy, it's harder for him to sleep alone. troy is all uwu baby i hate sleeping without you :( but he passes out all starfished in the center of the bed within minutes

4) who swears more?

abed, usually when he's doing a character or when he's just worked up. exception is in the bedroom, where they both swear a lot but troy swears more.

7) who steals the duvet in their sleep?

ooh, abed can't sleep without something over him, so abed. if troy ever happens to steal it, he steals it back right away.

18) who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long?

they both hate being mad at each other :( but troy is more openly emotional and likely to start the healing process, especially if it's a bad fight and abed shuts down.

19) who clings to the other for comfort when they’re sad or scared?

troy clings to abed 🥺 abed finds it comforting too but he's not as likely to initiate physical contact and they both know that

jeffbritta

3) who has trouble sleeping alone?

jeff, because he secretly feels safer with britta than he does when he's alone. britta (like troy) has a great time sleeping by herself, but (unlike troy) she doesn't pretend otherwise

4) who swears more?

britta unfiltered, babey

7) who steals the duvet in their sleep?

britta, jeff gets all shivery without it but he's too malewife to steal it back

18) who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long?

jeff has a harder time staying mad at britta, just a gut feeling

19) who clings to the other for comfort when they’re sad or scared?

jeff clings to britta, but because of toxic masculinity, he tries to make it seem like he's doing it for her benefit. like "i'm not scared you're scared i'm putting my arm around your shoulders during this slasher film for YOUR benefit i'm not shaking in my little boots at all"

thank youuuu!!!
