Usually Sitcoms I See Barely Provide Any Character Growth Because That Consistent Routine Is What Provides

Usually sitcoms I see barely provide any character growth because that consistent routine is what provides comfort.

But Community... this show did smth else. Every single episode provided growth for the characters, tiny little bits that add up and create such realistic growth. It takes time, it takes multiple tries, but they all do it. And that's how the show provides comfort. Not through routine, through change. And that's SUCH a major theme in this show.

Change is scary, often unpredictable, but we need to let go to be able to grasp new experiences. We need to learn to trust ourselves and trust people and take comfort in how, deep down, all humans are scared of being alone. So even if friends hang out less or move abroad or get married, we'll always have each other.

This show heals.

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

do you have any jabed headcanons to share with the class ??

I SURE DO

Their first couples costume is (predictably) the Inspector and Thoraxis. It fits perfectly with Abed’s hyperfixation and Jeff’s need to be shirtless as often as possible. 

Jeff is so convincing as Thoraxis that leaked video footage of them making out causes a not so small scandal in England. Nigel Cuthbertson has to give an interview on the BBC showing that he has his wife were on vacation in the Maldives and not anywhere near Greendale, CO

Abed knows that Jeff is a huge nerd after he crashed in the dorms that time, but he doesn’t know how huge a nerd until he spends the night for the first time. He finds Jeff’s stash of ultra-rare Marvel comics and gets so excited he may be physically vibrating 

Jeff has an amazing comic hook up, and spends way more money buying Abed rare favorites than he would ever admit

Side note: Jeff is so excited about playing Hot Lava because he wants that fucking comic; not for the $50k, but because it’s actually missing from his collection 

One time they’re holding hands at the mall when Jeff gets tackle-hugged out of nowhere by Willy Jr. Jeff nearly has a complete and total panic attack when Willy zones in on their hands, but rather than parroting the William Winger homophobia Jeff has been fearing for years, his little brother loudly exclaims “SEE I TOLD DAD REAL MEN HOLD HANDS.” 

 This is how Jeff gets stuck spending the rest of the day holding hands with his little brother at the mall while Abed takes pictures and spams the group chat with them

One time Abed forgets his stim toys, and his tapping on the table is making Annie look homicidal. Jeff texts him asking him to info dumb the entire plot of Kickpuncher: Detroit via text. The movement of his thumbs across the keys and the focusing on on a truly shitty movie helps keep Abed grounded

Jeff doesn’t speak to Britta for a week after he learns Troy and Abed know about his more embarrassing kinks

After Abed and Jeff start dating, Jeff ends up buying Britta a bottle of really nice vodka. Turns out Abed really took the nickname “Nipple Play Winger” to heart

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.
