There was drama behind the scenes in Community? Do you feel like you want to elaborate?

Oh my gosh there was so much drama 😭😭

I'm surprised you haven't heard about it, it's like the biggest dark cloud that hangs over that show.

Okay, so here we go this is going to be such a long post,

Dan Harmon and Chevy Chase were both competing to be the biggest dick working on the show, in the end Chevy won, mostly because Dan recognized the error of his ways and worked to change, but the point is Chevy saw himself as this big time Hollywood legend due to being one of the first cast on SNL, and so his over inflated ego did not enjoy the long hours on set or the way they were writing his character (of course a lot of how they wrote his character was in response to his own bad behavior) and so he acted like a little bitch all the time, if you've seen the show there's an episode where Pierce throws a tantrum and then goes to hide in a trailer the whole episode, that's basically how Chevy would act on set, most of the cast ended up hating him too because of his behavior and the writers had to find ways to limit his on screen time replacing him with a body double because he did not want to work as long as the rest of the cast and because Community was this insane show that had off the wall concepts for their episodes and scene concepts that would only last two seconds in the final product but would take entire days setting up filming locations and dressing the sets the days and the hours were Long af and so the more crazy concepts the show ventured into the less Chevy wanted to be there and so in turn he ended up clashing heads with Dan Harmon the other dick in this story, now Dan Harmon was the show runner and creator of Community, he is the mastermind behind the whole thing, but at this time he was pretty much at rock bottom for his entire life and his behavior, he was an alcoholic, he was sexually harassing a woman who worked under him, and he happily provoked Chevy Chase's little bitchiness in public, going as far as to play an angry voice message Chevy left him into the microphone on stage at a fan convention to a room full of fans and the media.

In response to all of this bullshit the studio fired Dan Harmon and replaced him with two guys whose only experience running a show was a racist show called Aliens in America about a white family that wanted to get a hot cool European exchange student to make their nerdy son cool, but instead got a brown dorky foreign exchange student with a funny accent and weird food, the show lasted one season and was promptly forgotten by the entire world for very good reason 😬

Anyways these two guys were brought in to showrun the infamous Season 4 of Community, otherwise known as the gasleak year. Now, these new showrunners weren't enough to make Chevy happy and he was still a little bitch most of the time and his coworkers were very unhappy with him for getting the guy who turned this show into a cultural icon fired. But they did season four and it was a big pile of shit, there's a couple episodes from that season that are worth watching, the body swap episode written and directed by Jim Rash is one, but for the most part this season is a write off, it's not that it was bad, it was honestly a lot better than most shows out there, but it was really really bad in the context of the rest of Community. It was a season desperately trying to be the show that came before it and it just utterly failed, trying to capture the magic that was Community without knowing how to do that.

Anyways, after this Joel McHale, the actor playing Jeffery Winger and a man who calls Community the best thing that ever happened to him went to the studio and said, "you gotta bring back Dan Harmon" and ultimately, the new showrunners were sacked, Chevy left, and Dan Harmon was brought back to the show.

Season 5 premiered with an episode called, Repilot that brought our now Greendale six instead of seven back together in a way that felt like coming home again after your first semester at college, bittersweet in that way that makes you feel like everything has changed, but nothing has moved. They lost Donald Glover in the fifth episode of the fifth season playing Come Sail Away by the Styx and now the show only had five of the original cast that made up the community we follow and by the end of season five the show was canceled at NBC and even when the giant cult fanbase raged at them they still refused to bring the show back for that iconic Six Seasons and a Movie Abed so often proclaimed in the text of the show

Until of course a streaming service that no longer exists called Yahoo!Stream came in and spent $42 million dollars for one singular season of Community (and two other shows apparently) and the fans were overjoyed to get their final season even if we also lost another key part of the main cast Yvette Nicole Brown to get it. Now the show had lost almost half the original cast, lost its showrunner, had a shit season, then got its showrunner back, got canceled at its original network, and now brought back for an internet streaming service in the days when Netflix still mailed people DVDs, and so this is the mindset they went into Season 6 for. The final season of the show had lost the fun whimsical tone of the golden age of the first three seasons, but still had the wacky zany adventures now couched in this sad feeling of reality that the end is coming soon, but then the last episode flashes a black screen that says "and a movie" and the fans had hope

Of course until Yahoo!Stream goes bankrupt and blames Community for it and that movie never comes.

Dan Harmon goes on to make Rick and Morty and a podcast called Harmontown where he admits to his horrific behavior on the set of Community and apologizes to his victim in a way that makes her feel vindicated and satisfied that he has changed his ways and moved forward with his life crawling his way out of his rock bottom to make a career far surpassing anything Community ever gave to him. While Chevy Chase has all but fallen into obscurity as he still does not accept that he did a single thing wrong ever. And now in the year 2023 we are getting the final chapter of the Community story in the form of a Peacock streaming movie that will most likely bring back almost every character and actor except for Chevy Chase

And that is the very very abridged version of the bts drama that haunted Community for six seasons and now a movie 😭😭

A mystic woman clad in robes appears before you in holy light. She offers you one of three gifts, which one do you take?

1. A golden amulet made of crystalised unicorn tears that is said to keep your secrets hidden.

2. A blanket made of woven sun rays that will forever bring peace of mind.

3. A book made of compressed twilight that collects all your dreams and fantasies.

Definitely the blanket! I need the blanket actually. When is this woman coming to visit me?

Hi, just curious. Since you seem to like both undertale and fonts have you seen the fanmade animtion of Sans vs fonts?

i am in fact a big fan of typefaces. not as much to be excited about when it comes to fonts, though. most typefaces only have roman, italic, and bold fonts. most of them haven't even got a proper small-caps font! the nerve of designers these days, i swear...

anyway no, i don't tend to watch fan-made animations. they are often technically impressive, but they're not my thing. i'm more into playing specific songs on loop for 7 hours straight while i do completely unrelated stuff. i also enjoy remixes that make the songs that go hard go even harder, and remixes that make the songs that are slow and sad go hard instead.

Hi! Your reviews are really good. Keep it up and have a nice day!

Thank you! ☺️

Sorry, dude, but will something bad happen if Sweden doesn't send a pop song?

sweden and switzerland always qualifying no matter how mediocre their songs are has to be the longest running cruel joke of eurovision

There's shipping in the Silent Hill fandom?!?

i think i've seen it but people otherwise do weird fandomfication stuff like you don't need to lgbtq-ify james sunderland he is what he is and that's integral to the purpose of his story...silent hill characters aren't blorbo material. silent hill is not a blorbo story.

Is the real tiger’s curse to read that book?

Yeah, the real curse was the Colleen Houck books we read along the way

@esevik

depends on the circumstances it happens in.

if it was a planned assassination, he's been suspicious of kakashi's behavior for a while and starts trying to convince people that actually he did it. gai learned chidori! really! no he won't show you.

if kakashi just,,,, snapped, gai would be looking for him to give him a hug and also scold him for orphaning his student. kids like their fathers, kakashi, even if you were having a bad day you owe naruto an apology!

alternatively, team gai is way far away on a mission doing whatever and by the time they get back to konoha they've heard so many conflicting accounts of what happened that the image they have of the situation is completely detached from reality. gai doesn't even remember which one gelato was anymore

if minato had been able to seal the kyuubi without dying and had survived to the start of the manga i think eventually kakashi should've been the one to kill him

Welcome to the larger worldbuilding chapters of One Piece. Don't worry, it's only going to get bigger. :)

Not gonna lie, I’m genuinely starting to get those Gintama feels now. The excitement of realizing just how vast and interwoven this entire story is... yeah, I dig it immensely.

Usopp and Chopper: fishing

“This is so exciting!” Chopper said. Usopp opened his mouth to reply, but a yawn came out instead. The sun was beating down them as they perched on the rail of the Merry, their fishing lines out but their baskets empty. 

“What do you mean?” Usopp said, with a hint of grumpiness. There was barely any breeze to be had, and the Merry was moving through the waves with all the expedience of a fat sea slug. 

“It’s the anticipation!” Chopper said brightly, his big black eyes fixed on the surface of the water. “We could get a catch at any moment, and then Sanji will make us something delicious out of it!” Usopp gave his friend a lopsided smile, he had only just taught Chopper how to hold the fishing rod in his little hooves, while Usopp himself had been fishing long before that. He had to learn how to fish before he even left his village, otherwise he didn’t eat.

“What kind of fish do you think we’ll catch first?”

“I think-” Usopp paused for dramatic effect, “it’ll be a six-foot long, seven-eyed Shubunkin with golden scales.”

“Huh? You think something like that exists?” “I guess we’ll find out!”

Chopper muttered something about hoping for Red Mullet before falling silent.

Usopp had nearly nodded off, tipping dangerously forward and almost falling into the sea when his line twitched.

“Woah!” Usopp cried as Chopper shifted into Heavy Point to grab him. With Chopper holding him in place, he managed to struggle with the fish until he reeled it half out of the water.

It was a rather large Shubunkin, with golden scales and-

One, two, three, four, five…

Usopp and Chopper stared at each other.

“We can’t really eat something like this, should we?” Usopp said quietly.

“I think it would be a sin…”

“Maybe we should throw it back…”

Favorite type of mermaid?

The fairy tale kind with bright colors or the horror kind were they lurk in the deep waiting to rip flesh from bones?

Oh definitely the horror kind, like don't get me wrong I love a wholesome multicolored fantasy mermaid as much as the next sea obsessed bitch, but there's something about the ones that are closer to animal than man that speak to me in a different kind of way

Who would you rather go on a date with, share an apartment with, and get bullied by of Harley, Poison Ivy and Catwoman?

I would date Catwoman, because I think she's creative enough to take me somewhere interesting. I'd share an apartment with Poison Ivy because I would want to live with someone who mostly aligns with my sociopolitical mindset. I'd prefer to be bullied by Harley, because of all three, she's probably the nicest and would have the worst insults lol.

Hi. Sorry if I blew up your notes, you have a lot of good posts. I'm thinking of following you (if you're fine with that) but I have one question. In your about page with trigger warnings you have a list of things you want tagged, is this list only meant for mutuals or do you want your followers to tag these things too?

those are things i want tagged by people who i follow or who i "manually" follow (ie: i go to their blog and check it periodically because they have some stuff on their blog i enjoy, but they post enough other stuff that i'm not interested in that i don't actually click the follow button. that, or they're friends i talk to on other platforms and i don't need to follow them on tumblr to keep up with them, but i digress)

if you feel like tagging some of those things that would be totally cool, but if you're just a follower of mine and i'm not following you or checking your blog (and i don't think i will be; nothing against you, i just have limited mental bandwidth) then you don't need to worry about it

(you didn't "blow up" my notes, btw, dw about it! i've had way worse)

Hi read your recent Azula meta and it's very interesting, but I have a question when you talk about Ozai being a narcisstic parent that he self absorbed or that he has NPD? Because the latter is a trauma induced personality disorder.

I’m emphatically not diagnosing Ozai with NPD. I’m using it in the way this licensed psychologist describes in her YouTube video. My reasons for doing so are deeply personal, and I don’t care to discuss it in detail with strangers on the internet.

[thebibliosphere]

Don’t need to answer. Just wanted to say that you’re great and I hope life gets a little easier for you.

Thank you! That’s really kind of you to say :)
