I wanna add how Jeff in s5 just ? suddenly sucks at law ?? Like 😠the amount of times Jeff joked about it and dismissed his knowledge saying "i teach law at Greendale idk anything about it." This is the man who fooled the entire system for 7 years with no education?! The man who kicked out the Glee club with a cease and desist just for fun cuz he hated their songs?? Jeff practiced law for fun, it came so easily to him. Yeh it was mostly bullshit and 9/11 references, but I doubt that alone led him to be one of the most respected lawyers. They were so adamant on getting him back on the job, they doubled his pay and already had his office ready. It makes me so mad that they turned his law carrier and skills into a joke just to completely separate this "new Jeff" from his shark past. It was so unnecessary.
Also we're never given any reason why his law firm failed. Am I supposed to believe it's just because Abed refused to add Jeff's phone number in the promotional video. And Jeff just?? accepted that fate?? Huh...
to this day i wish that jeff winger had become a defence lawyer at the end of community. like sure. greendale means a lot to him and its cool that he’s a teacher. but he was an excellent lawyer and he clearly loved it! the entire reasoning behind him not going back was that he grew as a person and didn’t want to be a shark anymore. and him being a pro bono small community lawyer that helps people was what he wanted!!! it just didn’t pay the bills!!! i literally see no reason at all for him not to go and become a defence lawyer or a prosecutor or work for a firm that specialises in community or non-corporate cases. like there are so many types of lawyer. so many. corporate, starving or teacher were not his only options here
other favorite actor joins the adhd squad !!
Another day, another time where I see an adhd post on my timeline and find out that the actor of my comfort character liked the post too 💕
Okay I've warmed up to the s2 finale even without the almond coffee theory. If you asked me "do you want to fall in love with the enemy or work with God and do good in the world" I'd answer the same.
Aziraphale wanted so badly to have his cake and eat it too. To have what he has with Crowley but in Heaven, without all the second guessing and doubting. A "nicer" turn of events.
Because this is what finally convinced Aziraphale to take the offer. He was still asking The Metatron about having coffee before the mention of Crowley back to Angel status, and he immediately asks him what would happen to his bookshop after Crowley refuses to join him. Because without Crowley there, Heaven isn't all that worth it alone.
And then he immediately regrets that thought and goes "nothing at all". How could Heaven not be worth everything?
"Pick one reference Abed"
"Sixteen Candles"
This line proves why timepetals works so well
Martha thought like me, like most of us in this situation, let's be honest. She's sharing a bed inches away from a man who traveled back in time to show her Shakespeare. This could be read as romantic.
But The Doctor has always been oblivious to the impact he has on others.
So I'm not going to say Rose wouldn't think like Martha, or wouldn't wish for something more.
But Rose wouldn't act like Martha because Rose would see The Doctor is troubled so she'd try and help him find a solution. She'd put him first.
And that's how their love story can seem as if it's put on hold, how they can both be focused on the problems first.
Because their love speaks through everything they do, every action and thought is out of love for the other.
How Martha felt a little led on isn't selfish, it's natural. But what Rose does is selfless.
the politics of human sexuality was such a good episode about jeff's pathological need to feel young and smart by talking to immature young women and how that will ultimately leave him unfulfilled which he himself realises IN the episode and then at the end of the season he kisses annie yes I am still mad about
When they're alone Victoria lets Joyce doodle with markers on her press on nails and it's okay if they don't match. When one falls Joyce puts it in a jar like a little art museum.
I'm currently rewatching the Rose Tyler era of Doctor Who and all my timepetals feelings are back
Fools fight over who's better between ninerose and tenrose when you can't have one without the other!!
Ninerose was the era of falling in love, it was banter and teasing, and it was mostly focused on the two of them, so it really made it so intimate and special. You see firsthand the impact both had on each other, with Nine's character development. How he doesn't do family but alters the universe to keep Rose's father alive. How he says he doesn't care about idiot Rickey Mickey but he'd invite him on the TARDIS so he can look after her.
You see how they hold each other close to their heart, how they lose themselves in each other's presence. Holding each other's gaze.
Tenrose is an already established love but now with a totally new face, so both of them pulled back a little for the sake of the other. You get such a shyer love, with a lot of physical touch but unfinished sentences. You get promises. Stolen glances.
The way Ten says "and it is gonna be...fantastic" on the first day of his regeneration because he wanted to reassure Rose that nothing much changed.
The way on that same day, she invites him over for a family Christmas dinner, fully accepting him.
The way he asks her on where to go next and gets lost in her expression, still processing the pure joy she has to be traveling with him, that she truly doesn't mind. That he didn't lose her.
And this dynamic works so well because we had ninerose before.
"Just tell her... tell her... oh she knows."
Flare, Volume 36
Nicola Coughlan is the it girl of 2024 but ruining relationships and characters in Bridgerton in order to make her character the sole focus was not the fan service move to make.
1) There's plenty of amazing posts about the absolute horrible writing of Cressida this season. It's so confusing to tell us to root for her in part 1 only to expect us to be happy at her horrible downfall in part 2 with a shitty voice over of Penelope apologizing.
2) I love the writing of Polin's relationship but the final love confession of Colin stands out from all the rest and makes no sense to me. Why would Colin tell Penelope that if he has no dreams, he will be content and happy to be her husband and to love her. What was the point?? The only reason he said that is to flip the gender roles of Portia's sentence when she was telling Penelope that men have dreams. women have husband's. Is Colin's dream being loving his wife supposed to make him a feminist icon? Pen's only wish was partnership, established by her defying Colin's "I'll show you everything" and instead asking him to "teach her". She just wants respect. She kept telling him that his writing is good, why doesn't he genuinely follow that as a passion. It's not a competition, they can both be good? Now it feels like he said "I'll publish my manuscript, and if I succeed I succeed, if I don't it's okay I have my wife." Okay, but you're allowed to keep working on it? You don't have to like, give up? Aim high, aim succeeding. Writing can still be his dream, and he can still love his wife. They can co-exist. Benedict kept saying that love is not finite. Colin can love writing and love his wife. He can work hard on his dream and still support his wife's success with no jealousy.
3) Why did Portia only focus on getting closer to Penelope and not the other sisters. It was literally up to Pen to fund their ball to finally put a smile on Prudence's face. Singling out Penelope like that to shower her with love still outcasts her from the rest of her sisters instead of forging a family bond with all of them.
Cressida losing is not a win, Colin not having dreams is not a win, her sisters not getting motherly affection is not a win. What the fuck.
