#abed nadir thought

abed getting the hot girl by playing a character like don draper from mad men or han solo from star wars, hooking up while roleplaying. you sound like you like it. all those pretty noises spilling from your holes, getting caught up in the dirty talk, even going so far as to call him by the wrong name during… abed begins to wonder the priorities here. has a talk with troy, with annie, even with pierce. it takes him a while, but knee deep into a makeout session, you’re prompting him to start taking your pants off, and he asks you, “is it okay if i’m myself this time?”

abed, along with portraying many other niche aspects of being an autistic individual, is one of the only characters i’ve ever seen accurately represent what it’s like to feel genuine anger and wish misfortune upon people who harbor incorrect opinions about movies or tv shows. i get it man. i really do.

if i had a nickel for everytime donald glover played a lovable, heart-on-his sleeve, social butterfly who is insecure about his intellect and masculinity and is fiercely protective of his significant other who has a social disorder that makes them seem weird/distant to other people i would have two nickels which isnt a lot but its great that its happened twice

I want to write a big essay on community season 6 and how deeply meta it is and how Jeff and Abed, as usual, perfectly mirror each other.

Jeff is slowly realizing he’s truly in a tv show and freaking out about it because it’s season 6 and most of his original friends are gone and he’s stuck in the show (“Even Pierce got to die!” and “I’m gonna be the last one here!” “But Abed… Six seasons and a movie?”)

Abed is slowly detaching himself from the show, having accepted that change is sometimes a good thing and stepping into “real life” (leaving for university - “Jeff, I know it comforts you to see the world through that meta lense, but this is reality”)

How Frankie represents the studios wanting a less goofy show, transforming Greendale into a more respectable school (tv show) and slowly chipping away what made Community truly weird and only when they “save” Greendale is when they end the series because it’s not our Community anymore.

It’s Community, sure, but through season 6 they keep asking to tone down the bits and the bizarre stuff (shutting down paintball, because they’re just not that kind of school anymore). The Dean being treated like a baby (which he is. Babygirl Dean) and being removed from his position of authority meaning we are not in charge anymore. Frankie, beautiful, headstrong Frankie is, a new era has come.

And that’s okay. Almost everyone left. Britta, the Dean… Everyone is happy. People grow and change and that’s okay. After school ends, you don’t keep in touch with everyone. You lose track of people who saw you grow, saw you become a better person. It doesn’t change the fact that you’re still that good person.

You still drive your friends to the airport and hug your first friend you made almost seven years ago twice before you watch him leave for a better future.

Everybody moves on.

Even Pierce got to die.

"Well, I've only talked to her once while she was borrowing a pencil, but her name is Britta, she's 28, birthday in October, she has two older brothers and one of them works with children who have a disorder I might want to look up. Oh, and she thinks she's going to flunk tomorrow's test so she really needs to focus and she's sorry if it makes her seem cold."

Very emotional about the idea of Troy telling Abed about his grief and Abed suggesting they have a sleepover about it

[yesihyperfixate]

If I had a nickel for every time Danny Pudi was in a show where he sees an alternate version of himself I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice right?

[unbreakablemouserat]

Okay I know I just started to watch Psych but for some random reason I want to put all these characters together in the same room.

ABED NADIR makes you think he’s hitting on you by asking you to star in his movie with a thousand sex scenes. In his mind, he’s studying the art of love-making on camera; in your mind, he’s creating an excuse so the both of you can get up close and personal without inhibitions. He’s like a different person when it’s rolling, talking to you in a different tone of voice, grabbing at you like he needs you. You’re sure it’s not artificial. Right up until he says, “Cut.”

[litrallytyrus]

lowkey i could write pages about the way troy says “i love you” to abed in epidemiology. the shift in his tone. the pause before he says it. the way his eyes fucking soften. like omg this gay ass bitch was being serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the most underestimated friend dynamics in the show to me is Shirley and Abed. They have the cutest little moments sometimes and I think: Damn I want to write that friendship one day (and I will when I figure it out).

I wanna say they get a cute moment per season but only s01 and s02 is fresh in my head because I kind of live there rn (like S01E18 when Abed meets her kids and says she's a good mom and S02E05 when Shirley impedes Abed's Jesus movie after hearing him pray for a way out and by the end both admit they learned/were humbled by each other). There might be other moments but my brain does not retain everything, just moments here or there lol So if I'm wrong about anything I don't mind being corrected lol

Anyway, both moments Abed doesn't object to physical contact either and accepts it from her with a smile. He does with with other characters too but still it's cute. A part of me thinks it's what he misses about his mom because before she left maybe they were close? Or maybe he gets to see the potential of that kind of maternal love that may have been missing? I don't know, hard to tell because she left but then she visited him every year for Christmas but then she just kind of said "you're an adult now, new life and new kid bye" lol So idk how to interpret how close he was with his mom (and any headcanons I have it's usually limited per fic and not necessarily set in stone because I'm not super rigid with headcanons for anything tbh) but regardless I wonder if that correlates with his relationship with Shirley.

Anyway, I know they play on her mom traits of guilt tripping and baking and being the disciplinarian and being sweet but my favorite parts are when she just radiates mom energy in a way that's like a hug or a really good soft cookie. I wish we saw more of this in the show and kind of sad of the could've been for a S04 that doesn't exist where we might've gotten more of that and S06 where Yvette left for personal reasons so no Shirley at all :'c

Community AU where instead of choosing Troy after the valentines dance Mariah says she needs to go on a “real date” with them both before she makes a choice so they end up setting up a date in a restaurant or something. (I’m thinking pulp fiction my dinner with Abed restaurant)

They plan everything out and it’s all very casual and they both make it clear that they wouldn’t get jealous or resentful if the other person “wins”. They even wear the grey suits from Shirley’s wedding and do a romantic movie marathons in preparation.

and then they go to the restaurant at the planned time and wait for a few hours but Mariah never shows…

so basically they decide that they’re already there and the reservation has already been payed for so they might as well just eat there I guess? It’s not a date or anything and they both even act like they’re just waiting for Mariah to get there even though they both know that isn’t happening. They both had a really nice time and Troy realises a couple of days later that they basically just went out. Together. And he freaks out when he knows he had a really nice time, better than all the dates he’s had with women, wait are the movie nights they do basically dates as well etc.

and so knowing this Troy makes a plan to ask abed if they could go out with Mariah again (assuming that she won’t show up so basically they can just go on a date no homo style). Troy asks abed to reach out to Mariah and see if she’s up for it and Abed (who has had a similar level of realisation) doesn’t ask her at all and just tells Troy she said yes so that he can pretend they’re on a date basically. I’m thinking this goes on for a while (like they’re “inviting” Mariah to stuff weeks after this all goes down) and they are both having the same thought pattern of “oh shit he’s gonna notice she’s not turning up soon and then we’ll have to go back to not pretending we’re in a relationship”. and they’re not even that happy with the situation because Troy thinks Abed is genuinely asking Mariah out every time and is only doing these things on the off chance she’ll show up and Abed thinks Troy’s gonna find out any day now that he’s not actually talking to Mariah and he’s pretty sure she left the school like a month ago.

It's about the reciprocal acceptance of a shared reality, no matter how weird it gets

Like if wearing magical friendship hats helps us heal our friendship, then that's what we're doing, but you need the internal consistency of remembering where they were left

If you're in a stop motion Christmas land then so am I

If you say we swapped bodies then we did, and nothing will break this reality until we swap back

If you see lava so do I

If we're clones and that's how you get through this, it's also how I get through my own fears

I will literally tell my celebrity idol that I'm a clone without the slightest hint of embarrassment, because it might not be objectively real, but it's our shared reality and we will keep sharing it even when we're apart

Physical distance will never stop us being in it together

Pretending or delusional or something in between, I will meet you where you are forever
