"They Ruined Britta" By What, Fleshing Her Out? I'm So Sick Of This Take Being Used Anytime Britta Is

"They ruined Britta" by what, fleshing her out? I'm so sick of this take being used anytime Britta is shown as flawed. She's an activist because she's super opinionated and she stands up for what she believes in, and that's her strength as well as her biggest flaw because she also gets caught up in her own perception of the world and fails to factor in other people's thoughts and needs (like when she paid the deaf girl to spoil Abed his book). She gets caught up in her jokes, gets caught up in her need to "treat" her friends, gets caught up in proving she's right. And sometimes she's right and she succeeds, sometimes she takes it too far and hurts people. It's her coping mechanism after having had to run away and to prove herself to everyone. She wanted, no, needed, people to see her succeed so badly, she sometimes fell into self-centeredness, even when her intentions are never malign.

So no, she didn't necessarily get ruined, it always made sense for her arc and she's a much more relatable character that way.

i picture a sunny episode where charlie starts a janitors strike and its just him at paddys so the rest of the gang gets to act shitty at him which is always funny. that “awww did somebody get addicted to crack” energy

but it snowballs majorly and he gets other janitors to join

the scene i imagine is him giving a speech on behalf of the janitors that like. starts out with normal strike demands the others all agree with and they get into it all cheering. but as he keeps talking they all realize hes insane “and we janitors demand more cheese for our rat traps so we can have enough extra to snack on while we clean them out” “no longer will you feed your scraps to our yuck puddles they simply get too big and we have enough bones to clean up as it is. and besides we believe its more natural for a puddle to hunt on its own anyway” “the janitors of philadelphia will return to work once our bosses stop purposefully aiming badly at the urinals as revenge for kicking them in our sleep the night before or for taking too much of the blankets”

something. then they question hitching their wagon to him and probably somebody else takes over at that point lmaooo but him assuming normal janitors relate to his life. anyway i want charlie kelly 2 unionize the workers of the world and i want it to end with their demands being met especially the weird ones peace on earth. the rest of the gang 100% spend the episode in filth missing him and the work he does classic them

For Every Man In Your Camp, There Are Thousands Somewhere In The West Indies Living Under The Same Yoke,

For every man in your camp, there are thousands somewhere in the West Indies living under the same yoke, chained in fields, pressed on ships, sold into indenture. When they see a sitting governor protected by His Majesty’s Navy, deposed by an alliance of pirates and slaves, how many consider joining that fight? How many thousands of men will flock to Nassau, join your ranks, and help you defend it?

Did You Guys Notice How Jeff Entered The Shop Already Looking At Abed And Immediately Pulled A Chair

Did You Guys Notice How Jeff Entered The Shop Already Looking At Abed And Immediately Pulled A Chair

Did you guys notice how Jeff entered the shop already looking at Abed and immediately pulled a chair to sit next to him.

Did you guys notice how Abed wasn't surprised and started opening up.

Did you guys notice that both of them were shocked to see anybody else in the shop and how the others all had yogurt in their hands because that's what they came in for.

But Jeff came for Abed. Because he knows his comfort spaces and where he'd be to cool down. And the easiness they both fell into shows that they've done this multiple times.

Do You Guys Feel Shiv's Total Trust In Tom, But Manifesting Not As Love But In How She Picked Him Over
Do You Guys Feel Shiv's Total Trust In Tom, But Manifesting Not As Love But In How She Picked Him Over

do you guys feel shiv's total trust in tom, but manifesting not as love but in how she picked him over nate because nate broke when she tried playing with him but she said that line to tom with absolute certainty that he's better, that he's stronger than that

people will be quick to say shiv underestimates tom and while that's true for his business experience, she overestimates his toughness as seen by her frequent pleas of "i need you"

to shiv, tom is her rock, tom is the guy she met when she was at the lowest point in her life, tom is strong and he can take being played with and she can "build a home thinking she's strong there" but she also undermines the implications of how a marriage is a teamwork and so nothing important can be build if she doesn't put in her own share of the work

charmac boybestfriends hanging out in abandoned skateparks and after hours bike rides, idiot4idiot. macden is what if we played a really intense game of gay chicken but like with feelings puppy boy in love with cat boy. charden is looking at a distorted reflection of yourself so you decide to be kind for once like they should’ve been to you. It’s knowing how touch is the most powerful weapon. It’s librarians and uncles and no that didn’t happen, it didn’t, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s feeling too much so you explode or dull it down with crack and glue. It’s two cats trying to escape a storm by holding each other, claws buried in each others backs. it’s letting go and leaving the wounds behind and they scar but never really heal. time passes and the pain is so routine you forget about it then you see each other and now your back is wet and you’re standing in blood.

100% Certain This Scene Is The Reason Jeff Went To Therapy.
100% Certain This Scene Is The Reason Jeff Went To Therapy.

100% certain this scene is the reason Jeff went to therapy.

And honestly, Jeff wouldn't have listened to anyone else. Especially s1 Jeff who has a line telling Abed "why are we the only sane ones here". Because yeh, the other characters aren't necessarily better than him. To Jeff, someone else telling him that advice would have sounded condescending. But Abed doesn't pity him and doesn't shy away from saying it as it is. Abed is like hey Jeff that's alarming behavior and I care about you so you should seek a professional for that. And Jeff gets it. And actually follows through. He meant it when he said that Abed in this episode was his wake up call.

They're two sides of the same coin and Jeff finally sees that other side of the coin and goes oh I have the potential to be a good person...yeh I want that.
