‘If coming out is a magic show, and gayness is the rabbit out of the hat, I’m one of those, never ending handkerchiefs.’
“i’m straight” “i’m gay” okay? when I cloned you, I had to patch some missing parts of your DNA with genes from a homing pigeon. you might notice side effects, like a compulsion to come back.
No third answer. There can only be one winner.
🗣️🗣️🗣️JEFF CANT EVEN GET BRITTA
jeff winger facts that make me giggle every time i remember them:
- he knows how to tango and tango well
- his mtv audition implies that he can also play the guitar pretty well
- "the only person i ever really liked was my mom"
- kept a box of well-wishes under his bed from when he was a kid to remind himself of what it felt like to be cared for
- writes letters to astronauts
being in a niche tumblr fandom really skews your perception of reality because all the time i see people post smth about dean and my brain goes Ah Yes, Bald Queer Man With Glasses and Dalmatian Obsession
what if i said jeff and shirley should have had sex. what then. what if i said that their relationship with each other did the most for their respective character developments. what if i said their dynamic is insanely compelling and criminally under-explored. what if.

Get oil changed. Check Netflix for that movie where Greg Kinnear plays a ghost. No, an angel. And something called hu—
Two percent milk, eggs, deodorant, puppy chow, black light, whole milk (not for drinking), cotton swabs. Add Eat, Pray, Love soundtrack to workout mix.
It’s a cold and it’s a broken mamma mia
hallelujah, here i go again
I just love seeing people I follow go through hyperfixations. Like, “you go, you little neurodivergent maniac”, as I scroll past 15 reblogged posts in a row of the same scene but in different gif sets with tiny different nuances.

Okay so we all know how messed up it was for Annie, Abed and Jeff to accept money from and befriend Britta’s parents. Inexcusable. Other than the fact that they’re broke, I kept thinking why.
But here’s the thing. None of them have healthy relationships with their parents. They see Britta’s parents as kind, generous people. They see what they wish they had—parents who are actively trying to have a healthy, happy relationship. Then they see Britta who has the opportunity to have what they want and is throwing it all away. On top of that, Britta’s parents are using her friends to fill the hole Britta left.
Of course Jeff is gonna eat carbs with a Dad who won’t judge him for his weight. Of course Abed is gonna watch movies with a Mom who will let him info dump. Of course Annie is going to have game nights with parents who won’t judge her for her past. Hell, they’re the only ones who care about Ben when he gets seriously hurt.
But that doesn’t make it okay. Because Britta knew them growing up and she’s the one who got seriously hurt by their actions. Annie, Abed, and Jeff didn’t.
i think that when annie goes to a lesbian bar for the first time she stays in character as caroline decker the whole time because then she's not a lesbian its caroline decker who's a lesbian
I like to pretend that Shirley’s character repeating “I have three kids” over and over in GI Jeff is to further emphasize Jeff’s angst about aging. He and Shirley are about the same age. They knew each other as kids. Now he’s an alcoholic law teacher without an actual degree in law at a community college, and Shirley is raising three kids, something that Jeff considers more important than anything else someone could be doing (“I could live a million years, and I could spend every minute of it doing important things, but at the end of it all I would only have lived half a life if I have not raised a son.”) So even in his fantasy, that bit slips through. “I have three kids. I have three kids, I have more important stuff to do. I have three kids, a more important battle than anything you’re doing. Even in your dreams, even when the whole world hangs in the balance, I have more important stuff to be doing because I have a family and you don’t.”
I like to pretend, because it’s such a horrible butchering of Shirley and Jeff’s relationship that it’s more fun to pretend it’s something else. Let’s pretend
