a community edit.. in 2025... where am i....

i very recently finished community and i've been dragged into the pit of obsession 15 years after the show aired if there is a fandom out there please find me i love you

also this is my first ever fully finished video edit so please tell me it's good, you can lie to me i'm ok with that

for my followers- i'll be back to magnussing soon i just needed to fight off the brainworms that got me here

Is this anything? Should've probably added a photo of him talking to Jeff specifically

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

Idk how to introduce this pitch properly, but look at what I've gathered:

Abed - Sherlock

Troy - John

Annie - Mariana

I bet the Sherlock & Co. trio would watch Community on TV nights and I can imagine Troy and Abed listening to Sherlock & Co. and eventually getting Annie into it too for the bit because they want her to know she's their Mariana🧍

This developed from me thinking about how Troy and Abed would dress up as John and Sherlock for Halloween and today I got hit with the connection between Mariana and Annie

Although John is the more "media-reference-y" one, but Sherlock and Abed are both canonically autistic and the way their dynamics work here and also in some other situations/the way they work themselves makes more sense that way I think

(Is there an overlap of these fandoms? Please tell me there's an overlap of these fandoms)

Finally got my girlfriend to watch community and she sent me these

AAHHH I LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH

she's so impressive 💫💖🌠

Why you should vote Abed Nadir in the 2023 autism swag summit

I've seen people do this for other polls and it is vital that Abed Nadir from the 2009-2015 NBC comedy Community wins this one.

Vote him round one here.

Does he fit the first part of the statement? Yes, Abed is canonically autistic.

When he realised autistic fans related to him, creator Dan Harmon did as much research as he possibly could into autism as to not let those fans down.

While doing said research, Harmon realised himself was likely on the spectrum. Meaning that Abed is a canon autistic character created by an autistic person. How often does that happen?

Due to the above facts, he is a very well researched and developed autistic character, with both traits more commonly shown in the media, such as blunted affect and difficulties reading faces and less commonly shown traits, such as hyperempathy and sensory issues.

From the time Abed first appeared on screen to the present day, there have been many blog posts, magazine articles and even scholarly articles written about how good rep he is. I have seen him on many a neurodiversity advocacy Instagram account. (If you want me to link some I will!)

OK, we have established the autism. What about the swag? Well, first of all, as Donald Glover summarised it "Abed fucks". There is a whole episode dedicated to his friends trying to get him a girlfriend and worrying about his self-esteem and in the end it turns out he gets plenty of girls and, as he says, he has "self-esteem falling out (his) butthole." He also gets guys hitting on him. And how can we mention Abed without his boyfriend soulmate best friend Troy. who canonically wants to have his "gentle and mysterious" "other half"'s children. In short, bisexual king.

Of course, swag is not limited to just sexual and romantic prowess, as the amount of aroace people I know with limitless swag testifies to. Swag can also be measured by commitment to the bit, for example. And, boy, is Abed known for his commitment to the bit.

Abed is Batman, Han Solo and Jesus. He is a mafia boss. He is a cartoon man discovering the meaning of Christmas. He is the narrator and the cameraman. Like, not metaphorically or in archetype. He realises a need for these characters in the story and becomes them.

[GIF- Abed as Batman, applying lip balm, possessing undeniable amounts of swag]

9. "How does he realise the need for the these things in the story?" you may ask. Well, his special interest is film and TV. He is a filmmaker. Thus, he frames his life in terms of genre, often seeming aware of the fact he is in a sitcom. However, this often changes, and, the show branches off into completely different genres, which Abed points out. These shifts in genre explore character dynamics and also are super awesome. Abed is so genre-aware, he changes the entire genre of the show. That is swag.

10. The Community fandom here on Tumblr.com, and throughout the web, is quite small. It will make us very happy. Plus, for the first time in 8 years, there likely will be new Abed content this year, due to the release of the movie. (Due to one of Abed's many catchphrases "Six seasons and a movie!")

11. Please please please please I love him so much and i am very cool you should listen to me please please please.

So yeah, that's it! If you have anything to add, please do!

Click below for some Abed gifs.

[GIF- "Evil Abed" (Abed with a goatee and sunglasses) walking through his college being evil. He hangs up someone's payphone call, pops a girls balloon with his cigarette and then dumps said cigarette into a woman's coffee]

[GIF- Two gifs. One is of Troy, topless, leaning out of an airvent. He looks down and says "I love you". Next is of Abed, looking up at him. He says "I know", before being grabbed by a zombie in a kilt]

[GIF- Abed, wearing sunglasses, saying "movie reference". Jeff is there too and also wearing sunglasses]

[GIF- Abed saying "Cool. Cool cool cool"]

Ok there are so many more GIFs I want to put but I kinda have work soon lol. You get the gist, he is amazing. Vote Abed!

a bbc ghosts community au is all I’ve been able to think about recently

i dont reallt know how to make these still

Inside you there are two wolves. One is Abed Nadir. One is Troy Barnes. They're renting ur head as their dreamatorium

bros are hearing some wild drama or sumthin right now (i just wanted an excuse to draw them concernedly sipping from their mugs??)

The deans were totally ex's or at least hooked up several times right?

NOOOO WDYM COMMUNITY IS LEAVING NETFLIX ON APRIL 1ST???

if jeff has a million fans i am one of them. if jeff has ten fans i am one of them. if jeff has one fan that is me. if jeff has no fans, that means i am no longer on this earth. if the world is against jeff, i am against the world.

holy shit no bc like I was literally just supposed to be doing hw but I think I got distracted and suddenly I'm crying bc I dived into David Tennant lore like he's in Good Omens, Doctor Who, and Ducktales, right? WELL, in Doctor Who, they said there were different universes so I'm thinking maybe all the shows and movies that David Tennant are in are just different universes. Like, David and Catherine Tate are both in Doctor Who and Ducktales. HOWEVER, in Ducktales, they are each other's greatest enemies while in Doctor Who, they are best friends. In parallel universes, few things change and what if Ducktales was literally just a parallel duck universe??? LETS NOT FORGET THE DOCTOR WHO REFERENCES IN GOOD OMENS EITHER. Ik it's just stuff the cast put in but pls just feed into my delulu mind. AND LETS ALSO NOT FORGET THAT NINA'S ACTRESS, NINA SOSANYA IS ALSO IN DOCTOR WHO, AS WELL AS ANNA MAXWELL MARTIN IN S1. What if Community, b99, and Parks and rec are also connected to this? BC Danny Pudi, Jim Rash, and Bridget Brewster are all in Communty BUT THEYRE ALSO IN DUCKTALES W DAVID TENNANT. And in Community, it stars Jason Mantzoucas. Ik he only made like one appearance but hear me out. What if it was just Pimento under cover or in hiding? He was also in Parks and Rec. You know who was in Parks and Rec? JEAN RALPHIO. WHO IS JEAN RALPHIO? DEWEY DUCK. BUT GUESS WHAT?? THERES MORE. Jameela Jamil was also in Ducktales as Gandra Dee but you know who her most iconic role is? Tahani Al Jamil in The Good Place. The Good Place also has Marc Evan Jackson but he was also in FUCKING DUCKTALES. BUT JASON MANTZOUCAS IS ALSO IN DUCKTALES???? SO IS STEPHANIE BEATRIZ WHO IS ALSO IN B99. WHO ELSE IS IN BROOKLYN 99? MARC EVAN JACKSON AS KEVIN COZNER. Giancarlo Esposito is also in Ducktales apparently but he was also Gilbert from Community. BUT WAIT WHAT IF HARRY POTTER IS CONNECTED TOO? BC DAVID TENNANT IS BARTY CROUCH JR AND BARTY CROUCH SR IS ROGER LLOYD PACK AND HE IS IN DOCTOR WHO S2. FILCH WAS THE FIRST DOCTOR. ANDREW GARFIELD IS SPIDERMAN BUT HE IS IN DOCTOR WHO AS WELL????????? WHO ELSE IS ANDREW GARFIELD KNOWN FOR? REMUS GODDAMN LUPIN THE WEREWOLF. HARRY LLOYD ISIN DOCTOR WHO BUT HE IS THE FANCAST OF LUCIUS MALFOY ALSO, WASNT MOANING MYRTLE ALSO IN DOCTOR WHO? MADAME TRACY IN GOOD OMENS IS LITERALLY RITA SKEETER, MADAM HOOCH IS CASSANDRA THE SKIN HUMAN THIBG AND THE TENTH DOCTOR LITERALLY SAYING EXPELLIARMUS LORD SEND ME MENTAL HELP AND GIVE ME PEACE IVE CONNECTED THE DOTS OMG AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FACT THAT CATHERINE TATE IS IN THE OFFICE FUCK ME I DRANK A FAT ASS CUP OF BLACK COFFEE W SUGAR

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.

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.

3 middle aged men with similar fears and anxieties spending the night together feeling less alone

Random thought that popped in my brain but the way the most two iconic episodes for Jeff/Abed (Communication Studies and Critical Film Studies) are both movie related episodes where Jeff just fully fkn engages in ?? People get stuck on how Trobed have their dreamatorium (and I obvs love that for them) but like Jeff too AGH !!

It's really interesting to see how Trobed relate to each other in a more neurodivergent way, and so they use a more creative mindspace, but when Abed is with Jeff, Jeff kind of plays the role of the bridge between fiction and reality and so you get more open spaces (ie. him renting an entire diner for the bday party)

That way, both experiences are special and unique on their own, and both are so so cool to explore.

The use of Studies in both titles is also interesting to me, because that's now a space where both Jeff and Abed can learn in. It's just so comforting and safe?? Love me some healthy dynamics.

Inspired by that one Luca promotion picture

Trying newer cartoonier art style ^^ Troy is always my go to character to draw <3

I <3 goth JeffBritta ^^

so on the unfortunate and very likely chance the community movie gets cancelled I've decided I'll just write my own version bc I have no life. Since that means I could just do what I want here's what I would include:

• cannon trobed

• Annie gets therapy (shes quite bad at it)

•takes place shortly after troy gets back, every meets up to reunite and when they're sharing stories and reminiscing Annie convinced them to go back for old times sake

• troy fully convinced pierce is haunting him at greendale and throughout the movie everyone else goes from denying to slowly begging to believe it too and it turns out Annie's boobs was doing it

° bonus scene where they walk into a room and find a ouji board and the door closes, Jeff starts freaking out trying to deny he's starting to believe and he runs out to find who was responsible and just finds someone smoking weed in the storage closet

•abed become a famous director ofc bc he's my favorite

•britta started doing more disability advocacy but she starts talking about it to the group and is infantilizing disabled people without realizing so jeff points it out and that starts a little argument and then Annie is like "why don't we ask abed then" and he starts mentally destroying them with his psychoanalysis

Anyways if anyone's got suggestions feel free to add them
