#me about britta perry

[platossoulmates]

my favorite thing about advanced gay is jeff’s reaction to pierce’s switch up on gay people like how are you to tell me that is not EXACTLY how a closeted person who knows they’re closeted (im looking at you troy barnes) would react in that situation. everyone else just thinks it’s a little silly and fun to be momentarily involved in gay culture but he is offended because he gets it 😭 there is literally no way to watch advanced gay and not come out of it knowing that is the most bisexual character ever presented on television

"Oh, it all starts with a quick look-see into someone's bag, and then it's a brisk peeka-rooni at our phone records, and before you can say "1984," the thought police are forcy-worcing you to bend and spread."

this may be an unpopular opinion, but i personally think that jeff and britta should've gotten married back in season 3 and just dealt with the consequences of that action for the rest of the show

watched episode 3x10 of community (regional holiday music) again and the last part is so well written, crafted?? dunno anymore

but cory trying to convince Abed to go and win regionals just so they can go and win semis and shit is so fucking real because it reflects on the manner in which it was all supposed to be fun and enjoyment and for them to be together and all that and instead the way it's reduced down to a race you somehow inserted yourself into and can't really get out of.

it's like work that you take up because you want to earn enough money to be able to retire but that time never comes and instead you keep running and running and running till you die competing in a cycle and race that you never really wanted to be a part of.

it's like reducing everything you are and can do to something that can add value to you and make you worthy,,, and seeing everyone and everything as a part of what you can achieve so much so that you don't really know who you are anymore because you're too lost in the system

and it's about a system that doesn't care for you and will never care for you because if you don't do exactly what it wants you to do, it will discard you. There might be an unfortunate incident where the bus falls and everyone who couldn't do what was needed of them died and they will be replaced because it's a system that has got to run because it's been running for too long. And still it will be your fault because the systems and structures will make you feel it is, Because at the end of the day you fall because you couldn't keep up and never because someone orchestrated or wrote down your demise by a bus crash/fall.

and that at the end of the day all you need to do to survive, is break the cycle (ish)

Back on my bullshit (im so convinced that abed knows he’s in a show)

Why don’t any of the characters swear when it would be so much more realistic if they did? It’s because Abed censors them. They all just assume it’s because he doesn’t like swearing but it’s actually bc he knows that a camera is somewhere and their audience will be expanded if they don’t curse

The Greendale Study Group's relationship to each other:

It's yours and it's mine, it's wrong and it's right and we're good and we're bad and I love you and I hate you, I want to slap you in the face then kiss it better, throw you off a cliff, let you be the only people standing by my bedside as I die, will you marry me even though we'll get divorced in a blaze of your posessions and mine all burning up on our front lawn as we scream ourselves mute airing every grievance we've ever had with each other as our neighbors watch and record us on their phones, be the best man at my wedding and then sleep with my bride, I'd follow you to the ends of the earth and then slit your throat at the finish line, I could never let you go, but I could never hold onto you forever, because you and I are like a sunbeam, warmth in the coldest of winters, but death in the hottest of deserts with no water around for hundreds of miles, something that slips through your fingers unable to grasp it even as you look right at it, the strongest of drugs and the worst of addictions don't even come close to our friendship and I could never and I would never go to rehab for you, there's no way the life I have with you will ever be worse than the life I had without you and I promised the day I met you that I would never go back, because having you is the best and the worst thing in my life and there's no god in all the heavens and all the hells that could ever make me leave you. The day I met you, I died, but really truly had I ever lived before you?

just went back to watching community again and I cant-

so this time it's about 'Regional Holiday Music' 3x10,, and adhagsjjsb it's so fucking good because in a manner it sort of addresses all the wants of the characters right? because to convince them to join the Glee club they need to be incentivised and the incentive in this case is what's so interesting to me:

because 1. it starts with Abed and we all know Abed and how he's all he wants is to be together and loved and he chases the belongingness that he didn't find before in the study group right? but also literally the only thing that cory had to do to get him on board was talk about making him and his friends feel better and be together,,, but also it's literally because media of any kind be it behind the screens or people singing is so much simpler for him to understand cause they are catered and made in such a way that they are easy to perceive and take in without it being more complicated and involving other people's feelings in it

which is Great on its own but the second person to get 'caught' is Troy (because obv Troy will follow Abed wherever he goes, because even when he can't follow he'll wait for Abed to come back to him and tell him about his side quests or just be there for him, but I digress-) but also it's because there's this one thing he's always wanted to be a part of and could never but then comes Abed giving it to him on a silver platter and letting him do the things he wants even if it is by providing him with a loophole

and then third is pierce who even though I loathe him, i do understand (ish) because at the end of the day he's a man out of time and place, he's within people he doesn't understand and who don't want to understand him because all he wants to do is relive his glory days instead of rooting himself in the present (which in large part the study group help him with) (he'll never be my favourite character or even a liked one but I see him and I feel sad because of what he is and always will be and the way he came to be this way) all he ultimately wants is to be 'cool' maong his peers even though both of them operate on different understandings of cool (and yeahhhh)

fourth is Annie which, is very very weird to me because we never really get to know what her song was, what her one wish/incentive was,,, but also is it really that hard to assume that she would cave in when confronted by one of the first few people that she could safely feel as if in the company of friends with? also and this is a straight up hypothesis but I do feel that Annie didn't really get a song to convince her because it wasn't that hard to do it because it didn't really matter because at the end of the day it started with Abed telling her that he stayed for that experiment despite being angry because she was his friend,, and this was her way if reciprocating that (because it was just that given, be ause some things don't need to be explicitly stated to be explicit) (but then why did troy have one? because he was technically going against his entire belief system and the way he identified and looked at himself and that is life changing in some manners and he was still the second one and yeah)... maybe

the fifth one was Shirley and this one is rather simpler because at the end of the day, she traces and finds herself within her belief system rooted in Christianity (which while not for mez i can understand the way belief systems can be very all or nothing for some people) and she just wanted to educate and empower children and people with things that she herself feels empowered by (she goes about it entirely the wrong way ofc because forcing religion on others is never an answer but I don't think nad never have that she's coming at it from a malicious position or intention

then we have jeff and like Annie it's very curious that he doesn't get something that he wishes to incentivise him (at least that's the way I understand that episode) instead, we get to see what Annie and further the audience thinks or is supposed to think about Jeff. He's still that impenetrable (hehehe) person that no-one can actually understand because yes he's an asshole but he's constructed in a very stereotypic asshole kind of way so that's all we get to see from him at that point in time (that's all we're supposed to perceive him as which is why unlike others he never joins in on the song) instead all we get is that he also succumbed somehow. but we're never told what made him submit and give in,, we're always made to look at him from a distance (at least till that point in time and show trajectory) and he might be the main centre of the show (ish arguably more around Abed but plot more centered around him (also I'm very very biased cause I deeply resonate with Abed)) and yeah

and then Britta who again doesn't get a song at all because,, and again throwing arrows in the dark here,,, ofc she has a bad voice and narrative voice isn't really imp to Cory and his performance but also because much like Jeff, there's an induced sense of distance, wherein she technically is supposed to be the main female protag at that point (at least that's the intention it seems to have started with) but in many manners, she's reduced to just that, they make her dumb and so unlike the other main heroines (and I will never not be angry with the way they changed her character post season 1) that at the end of the day that's all she ends up being (again till that point in the show's trajectory)

and yeah ,, and then then at the end of everything, Abed gives up on what he wanted for the group as a whole because he realises that this is not actually happiness that it's creating in everyone, because it's forcing them into roles that they've been tricked into and that's never what he wanted,,, yes he wants them to be together but not at the cost of the happiness of even one of them or all of them and yeah

also anyone that says community is just a silly little show, it is. But it's also so much more because the way it talks about created families and families of choice and being an outsider and trying to find belongingness,,, and in the end finding a place that lets you be the trainwreck that you are and helps you embrace it, is insane and great. And I love the way community as a whole does all of that while feeling so organic and experimental but also insightful and a well thought out piece of media with actual things to say and yeah

(also very unconnected to anything I've just said but I truly despise Shirley's song with everything in me,, I'd ironically and unironically listen to all of the rest of the songs in this episode but not that one (yes including whatever was going on with that Annie mean girls esque but make it worse and yeah)(they are bops honestly 🤷‍♀️)

i will go now but yeah I love community (also also last thing but this is the only way that I'll ever be able to fully digest random musicals in any show because community just does it better, I said what I said.)
