so uh i just rewatched community for the 3rd, and possibly the last, time, and I'm gonna rant about it, especially because it's being taken off Netflix this month.
Community is literally the #1 best fucking show on this planet (with Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place being a 2 and 3), and no one can tell me otherwise. The writing is so fucking beautiful (except the writing of the romantic entanglements within the group, but im sure the fandom knows that already), and can be so funny yet heartbreaking at the same time.
Let's take "Geothermal Escapism" for an example (which to point out how amazing the writing is, has never failed to make me cry at the end of it). The symbolism of the hot lava game, the fact that Troy had to play into the whole "clone" thing just for Abed to be able to cope with him leaving (which proves yet again how much Troy and Abed do for eachother, and yes that *is* one of the reasons I ship trobed, but let's not get off-track more than we already have lol), the group saying all their good-byes at the end, and the way those good-byes characterize them so perfectly, it's literally a masterpiece of an episode.
And the fact that the viewers as a whole were supposed to just forget all of that the next episode baffles me, like make up your mind Dan Harmon, are you gonna make the best show of all time or ruin it by shoving jeffannie down our throats at the last episode???? (sorry, went off track)
Anyways, back to the writing: it's beautiful, but can be so dumb at the same time. Like, another example: "Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television", a.k.a. the finale, which not only kind of does a call-back to s1 Jeff and Abed (Abed being ready to let go and embrace the future, and Jeff being so against it), but omggg the symbolism towards the end, where Jeff has driven Abed and Annie to the airport, and he's hugging them good-bye, and Jeff goes in for a second hug, because yet again he's afraid of change, and you can tell Abed is confused, but he goes with it anyways, because he gets it (actually I'm making this point based off of a comment under a compilation of Jeff and Abed, but whatever).
Jeff and Abed in s6 is literally Abed and Jeff in s1, and not only then, but literally everywhere in the series, you can tell how alike they are, how their traumas and troubles are so alike, yet they dealt with it differently, one with acceptance and one with denial.
And another point about how the writing can be so dumb sometimes: how can you literally point to jeffannie being an illogical and impossible ship, and literally have both members of this ship finally realize how unhealthy it in the *same* episode as is that ship's kiss scene?!?! Like, how does that make sense.
Anyways, my conclusion to this rant is: there's no conclusion lol, I just wanted to barf out all of my thoughts on this show onto here (and these aren't even all my thoughts on this show lol), as incoherent as they are. I'll miss this show so bad😭😭.

Anyone sort of feel like the boop badges are like meow meow beans from community? Just me? Okay cool
Like it’s cooler if you have all 3, and if you have just one of the badges it’s like “oh you just participated? Not even to 314, wow, pathetic” or something? Also cat theme, idk my brain is ridden with community brainrot lol

I'm sorry. One of the first things that Troy and Abed do once they realize they've 'switched bodies' is to check what either one is packing downstairs????? I'M SORRY?? YOU SAID YOU WERE HETEROSEXUAL???? I'M SORRY???? EXCUUUUUUSE ME????

its very Greendale of them to have the thermostat of the entire building out in the open unprotected for anyone to change. like yeah it was useful for the zombies but now im imagining students breaking out into a ridiculous war over a one degree temperature change

so do y'all ever getting get that feeling when you've loved a specific show for years upon years all by yourself because it's a bit too niche for all your irl friends but it ended years ago and no new content from it has come out in years so you go onto every single social media platform (including tumblr) in search of mutuals of this niche show, and then find mutuals who also like this show as much as you, but are then too socially awkward to reach out to those people and ask to be friends? no? just me then :3

The weirdest and funniest and most unexpected plot twist in the community movie would be all of the marketing himting towards a gay wedding in the final act and EVERYONE is sure that it's Troy and Abed and then. It's Jeff and Craig. I don't how or why it happens, but it has to at least be %50 sincere.
