what’s the best halloween special of all time and why is it Community’s S2 halloween special Epidemiology

[darkesttimelinedean]

I haven’t watched Community in months even though I’m literally in my freshman year of college, now’s really the time. Still love it, still bring it up every day in my television class. I’ve started it up again today (from the beginning) and it reminded me to post a little tidbit I got from Chevy’s daughter when we met: Everyone was new, mostly getting their first big break except for Chevy (seasoned actor) and Donald (who had worked really hard to get here). Donald was very shy, but Alison, ever the ‘really sweet’ and boisterous theater actress, engaged everyone and brought him out of his shell. Joel is very similar to how he presents himself in real life and had an interest in the ‘business side’ and ‘very cool things,’ whatever that means. Also there were tons of group chats it’s so cute.

“Every man should be punched in the face. It's a rite of passage. In my day, Friday night was smoke a doobie, feel up a gal, and then get your teeth knocked out by a Republican.”

If Pierce really lived it up when he was younger, then I have no choice but to think he was a little cool (but I hate him more than anything ever).

It's so funny to me that while Pierce slowly got some good character development Chevy was slowly going insane behind the scenes 😭

the funniest thing is chevy chase was also hated by the cast for similar reasons, to the point where joey mchale had repeatedly gotten into fisticuffs with him. the strangest thing is pierce as a character had so much space for growth in a good way but he keeps being used (and to be fair if his actor shared his views then i see why the views did not change). i wish they used another actor to play this mf so that at least we'd have gotten some character growth,,,, iirc him dying was the copout because chevy chase did something too egregious and everyone came together to say no thank you fuck off

i never really understood why pierce was there. like he was just there to be laughed at for being ignorant and creepy, then i guess he was meant to be a kind of villain. but then he supposedly redeemed himself at the end of season 2, but is still kinda just an asshole in seasons 3 and 4. it got to a point where he just wasn't funny (that point came very fast) and he just became a nuisance. to me it's a lot like how i view ren yamai in komi can't communicate, a character with no real meaning but being there for me to utterly despise and for me to hate reading any chapters that she appears in. back to pierce, why did he get so many chances for forgiveness? it started in episode 2, where he directly rejected the assignment given to him, to the point where jeff repeatedly telling him that they should be doing the assignment did nothing to sway him, then suddenly it's jeff's fault? and then that makes jeff get an F on the assignment?? and pierce is still not in the wrong??? literally made jeff fail and we still gotta forgive him. and why are we supposed to feel sorry for him in economics of marine biology? my guy you have been consistently a racist, a homophobe and all around an asshole throughout this entire show i do not feel sorry for you. when shirley said he died in basic intergluteal numismatics that was some of the biggest relief i've felt in my life istg.

Controversial Community Hot Takes:

Peirce made the show funnier (even though I hate Chevy Chase)

Annie and Jeff DO NOT BELONG TOGETHER. he met her when she was a naive teenager.

Abed and Troy have the best chemistry throughout the show (romantic or platonic)

Yvette Nicole Brown's character Shirley deserved better!! They turned her into a hyper religious, manipulative, condescending person, which I think its super unfair.

Abed isn't the only one with autistic traits!! In many ways everyone in the group displays similar traits, especially Britta and Troy :P

Britta isn't a loser or a bad person, she just doesn't know how to do things properly or communicate her emotions and feelings because of her childhood trauma. She is a complex character that has been dumbed down into a caricature.

Season 4 is incredibly witty and funny and creative, and is better than seasons 5-6 put together

Chang is one of the best characters in the show. He ties the show together.

Gilbert should have had more screentime!!!

Please do not attack or harrass me for any of my opinions, this is just for goofs and gaffs!

stars in a line - robert 'bob' floyd x f!reader

Word Count: 1,207 words

Summary: Chicken's in the skillet, ice in the drink, head's in the clouds, diamond's in the rough, he's in a Chevy and I'm in love // Tips in the apron, hair's in a braid, Mercury's all in retrograde // He's in a T-shirt all cleaned up, Good lord almighty, mama don't wait up // Chills down my spine, hearts on the line, He's all mine and I'm in love

Content Warning: fluff!! also note of animal abandonment

Author Note: another round for @ohtobeleah 's galentines writings :))))))

the familiar rumble of the older engine makes your features split with a smile. when bob had told you he was gonna drive his truck from montana to california you thought he was losing his mind.

then he'd explained why he was so insistent.

that he'd taken you out in that '87 Chevy all those years ago. after weeks of coming into the diner you worked in after school, dozens and dozens of milkshake and fry basket combos (and subsequent heartburn) just so he could hang out with you. he'd gotten up the nerve to finally ask you out. that truck had been your front row seats at the drive in watching a rerun of some old army movie his dad had recommended.

he'd taken the two of you to prom in that truck. to high school graduation, your college graduation. when the engine died on you while he was stationed in atlanta he'd taught you how to fix the thing via facetime.

beverly the chevy had been there for so many of your big moments. she'd been the reason why bob ended up buying the house that you stood contently in.

'bev is gonna need a place out of the elements if she's gonna stay top notch.'

this house had been the only one with a two car garage. one side for bev and one side for your car.

now when the engine rumbles echoed in the garage and made the older house vibrate, you couldn't help but grin. the sizzling of chicken in a skillet on the stove greets bob when he steps into the kitchen. he's greeted with the smell and a bottle of wine in a pile of ice in the sink. the door to the garage shuts, and you glance over your shoulder. when you do, you're witnessing the brown paper bouquet in his hands, white t-shirt on his shoulders, levis hugging his waist, trucker cap right where it belongs. he knows what this does to you. it's a simple look, nothing more than the basics but that's what does it. it highlights him. the man you love, bare bones and all.

the same man you fell for in that truck bed all those years ago.

he slides his boots off and wraps his arms around you from behind you, showing off the flowers he carried in. "happy flowers to you," he's humming now, making you giggle as his arms tight around you start bouncing you back and forth as he sings to the tune of 'happy birthday', "happy flowers to you, happy flowers, happy flowers, to my valentine youuuuuu" he punctuates the end of the song with a sloppy kiss to your cheek as you ease the weight of the florals from his hand.

"these are stunning, bo." you grin as he lets go, letting you turn to face him fully as he smiles.

"i know, i picked 'em cause they remind me of you." bob grins before pressing a quick kiss to your lips, barely pulling back when he speaks again, "happy valentines, sweet girl." you repeat the sentiment before he takes the arrangement and starts to get them into water.

you can't help but stare as he begins trimming the ends of each stem, easing them into the vase. you can smell the freshness of his body wash, having showered on base before he came home to you. couldn't waste time on your night together - and he knew it. the combination on him is near lethal to you. if you weren't actively cooking dinner, the counter would have been supplying a different kind of heat to the kitchen.

"i bought you something!" you nearly startle him with your sudden announcement, the reminder of your gift hitting you as you watch him. running down the hall causes the pup in the living room to chase after you, causing you and bob to both laugh.

shadow had been an unplanned addition to your lives because the poor pup appeared on your back deck one night. the collar on his neck held your current address. the previous owners had barely been involved with the process of the sale, so you didn't have their contact information to tell them hey assholes, you left your dog.

so, you and bob joked that the house came with a guardian, a black lab and german shepherd mix (bob got his dna tested out of infuriating curiosity). he quickly clung to the two of you - thus 'shadow'.

you lug the box into the kitchen, where bob has kept an eye on the meal you had recklessly abandoned. looking at you he huffs a gasp. "sweet girl, this is unnecessary." he laughs, taking the wrapped gift from your arms and sliding it onto the counter. still, he tears into it and reveals the milkshake maker, making him laugh, looking over at you with a grin. "that why you got your hair all done like this?" he grins, his fingers moving over the braid you'd plaited this morning.

"maybe." you hum, kissing his cheek as he looks over the box holding the machine. that diner the two of you met in had closed not long after you moved to san diego. you'd spent hours there and he'd once complimented the ribbon in your hair when it was woven into the braid on your head. recently, bob had mentioned how he'd missed those milkshakes they'd always made him.

he grins, before tucking his hand into his pocket. "hold out your hand." you hold it out as he asks, palm up. what he sets into your palm catches you off guard.

you'd been expecting something small, likely a jewelry box or something, like the years before.

instead a little metal circle is dropped into your palm. shining and glimmering. diamonds along it like stars in a line. your spine is electrified with chills, as your jaw drops as you look at him in awe. "bob, what-you-"

"i can get on my knee if you want, i'm just- i'm so in love with you. i'm truly in awe of you and how valid you make me feel. how valued and cherished i feel - how you listen," his head nods to the machine on the counter, "and you care and you never fail to be the best. just simply the best. i hope that i am for you-"

cutting him off you speak, "and you are," he laughs.

"then i wanna continue being that for you. for forever." you're sliding the new piece of jewelry onto your ring finger before he can get the words out, your arms slinking around his shoulders and linking your lips with his.

when you pull back, you grin.

"you're mine. i'm all yours and i'm in love. i'm so in love with you. with our life and the path we're on." you whisper. his hand takes a hold of your arm before the two of you jump at the sound of a smoke detector, both of you scrambling to clear the kitchen of smoke.

when the alarm is off and the burnt chicken is tossed, you smirk as you pull ice cream from the fridge.

"ice cream for dinner?" you try. bob grins.

"how about milkshakes instead?"

[the-dreamatorium]

for example: Abed is good at running like Danny Pudi, and how his ethnic background is partially based off of Danny Pudi's

and Chevy Chase is a bigoted asshole in real life and as Pierce!

it's interesting that some of the traits community characters have are modeled after the actors who played them
