I will always defend Troy when it comes down to the text he sent abed in pillows and blankets s3 ep14. When it comes down to it, what Troy did is in fact justifiable.
Troy wanted to build a blanket fort so he could get this cool record for largest blanket fort ever. Abed didn’t wanna, he called it stupid and Troy moved on.
Then here comes the air conditioning repair man on his way to make Troy insecure about his role in his friendship with abed and make him feel like he’s just following abed around and listening to his every order.
So - he goes back to abed and expresses his feelings only for abed to say “yeah sure you can build a blanket fort, just don’t connect it to my pillow fort.” Maybe I’m just sensitive but I would of been upset over this If I was Troy.
Troy makes his blanket fort, gets a bunch of people on his team, has a war, and then gets shown an email his best friend wrote.
“Troy will hold on until he’s broken emotionally. Fortunately this will not be hard.”
“He’s insecure about his level of intelligence”
“His greatest vulnerability of all is his emotionally frailty. It’s incredibly easy to make him cry, and he’s incredibly ashamed of that fact.”
And all of this plus abed listing all of troys weaknesses.
Troy reacts emotionally to stuff
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So after finding out his best friend told what feels like the entire school his insecurities and weaknesses he acted emotionally.
He reacted in a cruel and mean way because he got his feelings hurt by someone he trusted, this “someone” was the person he liked the most.
Maybe I’m bias because I react the same way, if someone is mean I’m also gonna be mean, I’m gonna react emotionally.
Abed knew this was wrong, he did. Abed knew this wasn’t an ok thing to do. He didn’t want Troy to see it, Troy wasn’t supposed to see it. Abed knew and you can’t convince me he didn’t. Don’t infantilize abed more than he already is.
And the cherry on top of all of this, Troy and abed didn’t even have a conversation about troys insecurities about beings abeds sidekick.

Troy Barnes is known as the funny, out of pocket, and immature one of his little study group. But because I’m insane and love to over complicate thing, here ya go.
He has said it was hard being popular in highschool, it’s canon (kinda..?) that he purposely dislocated both of his shoulders in a keg flip because of fear and pressure.
it’s canon his family beat him with a switch. if you don’t know what that is, it’s a a literal stick you get spanked and beat with.
Not to mention we find out his dad kicked him out of the house purely for selfish reasons regarding his dads new girlfriend. this means his parents were divorced or his mom is dead, both of those options aren’t great.
Another scene that comes to my head is when levar burton comes to see him and Troy decides to curl up in a ball on the bathroom floor and gently rock himself back and forth while singing/sobbing.
All of this along with other stuff like his mom lying to him about his age, his repressed sexuality, the way he can’t handle his friends fighting so he just starts screaming till his nose bleeds, how he says in one ep “yeah I screwed up, classic troy”
he has a quite insecure nature about him that he hates. And not to much on how easy he cries.
Along with other stuff I’m to lazy to write about rn.
so - obviously his life wasn’t perfect. I just want to know what else happened in his life. I would like to know more details and more stories of his shitty high school experience.
