Brad: I will destroy everything you’ve ever loved

David: What if I love you?

Brad: Joke’s on you, I’ve been self-destructive my whole life 

Poppy: Has anyone ever told you they love you?

Brad: Does family count?

Poppy: Yes

Brad: Then no

It’s nice that the kids in Dungeons and Daddies were all able to make the best of their situation and do things they like. Terry spent time with his dad, Nick got high, the twins became cult leaders and watched people fight to the death while plotting to unleash a eldritch horror onto the world, and Grant played fortnight. 

In season 2, episode 1, Anthony accidentally says Lark is Normal’s dad. Do with that information what you will.

So my friend said that Lark and Sparrow are basically Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes and she is absolutely right. The hyperactiveness, the inexplicably advanced vocabulary and grammar, resistance to authority, everything.  

I loved the ethics committee episode because it’s our first look at how Brad’s attitude toward David is different from his attitude toward everyone else. When David finally snaps at Brad in the episode, it was obvious that that was the only thing Brad wanted out of it. In the previous episodes, when Brad messed with people, it was because he wanted something specific out of it like a loot crate or to make a point, but when he was messing with David, he was just doing it for the fun of it. It felt like an ‘annoying your crush because they’re cute when they’re mad situation’. 

I think it also showed how David sees Brad differently from his other coworkers as well because it’s the first time in the show that he stood up for himself and, unlike when he does it the other times, he doesn’t immediately freak out or make a big deal out of it, which makes me think he’s a little more likely to stand up to Brad and not be phased by him being mad like he is with Poppy and Ian.

But most importantly, Brad was definitely into it when David yelled at him and you cannot change my mind.

So when David said “Love you, Brad” after the ‘burlap sack’ speech, do you think that it was the first time anyone had told Brad they loved him?

The long lost brother trope by @dimesandnickels more fan art by me

I had a mental breakdown and decided to drop out of school, so I decided to watch Community for comfort. I just started playing it from wherever I had left off and it was the fucking episode after they got kicked out of school. How dare my comfort show reflect my reality.

I can’t believe they had Troy and Abed sing “Somewhere Out There” without knowing that Troy would leave, it seems like the perfect foreshadowing. After season five, I always imagine them singing it after Troy leaves and the camera cutting between Abed in an apartment alone and Troy on the boat. I can’t listen to them sing it without tearing up.

In 3x16 Virtual Systems, tying shoes is included in things Abed doesn’t understand, but he has laced shoes, so here are some headcanons:

His dad gave up trying to teach him and tied his shoes for him until he left for Greendale

At first, he just tried to put on his shoes without untying and retying them, but they eventually came undone, so he just tucked the laces into the shoe which was really inconvenient because his shoes would fall off or a lace would come out and he’d trip

He actually first met Troy by literally tripping into his arms

Later, after Abed admits he doesn’t know how to tie his shoes, Troy offers to do it for him because he gets confused by things and needs help too

Usually it’s a casual thing and neither of them really notice what they’re doing, but sometimes they’ll be dramatic and recreate Cinderella

After Troy leaves, Annie helps him instead, but it feels a bit like she’s babying him and it never felt like that with Troy

When he goes to LA, he just buys Velcro shoes and they become his signature look

@yourshadow18​ Oh my god, I’m actually crying. Every chapter is now going to include Brad doing chores like this

A good boy

I love how everyone’s doing magic and fighting monsters, and classic fantasy genre stuff and Percy’s just sinisterly walking through a field. He really is living in his own genre

Now has art by me! (Abed’s hands are in his sleeves because he’s excited to see Brad’s house (I like green and am bad at backgrounds) which is probably not actually green 😬)

So I have a depressing headcanon/analysis about Brad’s childhood. (TW for violence and abuse)

Season 6 episode 11 of Criminal Minds, they said that some businessmen have the same characteristics as psychopaths but use their skills differently, such as using corporate takeovers to ruin people’s lives rather than violence.

By the description of psychopath they gave in this episode, Zack Bakshi is definitely one, even without looking at the fact he has already been shown to have one of the three main warning signs of psychopathy: cruelty to animals. Even if Kate’s death was humane, he seems way too happy about it. 

The specific businessman unsub they were tracking in Criminal Minds resorted to violence as an outlet before he was able to be in a position of financial and business power that let him ruin people’s lives. So, if we keep the comparison with Zack going, there’s a real possibility that Brad’s childhood could have been worse than they’ll describe on a show like Mythic Quest. In this essay I will...

Since no one else will talk about it, I will: Brad saying hi to Poppy when he thought she was a little kid in a costume was the softest, sweetest, and cutest thing to happen in the whole show.

Mythic Quest Crew Playing Monopoly

Brad: keeps talking about how he’s going to destroy everyone but ends up only landing on chance, community chest, and income tax. Refuses to give people change so they have to exchange with the bank to get the right amount of ones

David: makes deals that put him at a disadvantage just to keep the peace. Still lasts longer than Brad.

Poppy: absolutely refuses to trade with Ian even if it’s a perfectly fair trade. Always forgets to buy houses when she gets more money

Ian: pretends he doesn’t care but ends up throwing the dice across the room when he loses. Makes people wait at least five rounds before he says he’ll accept their trade. Refuses to trade with Poppy

Rachel: keeps trying to tell everyone about the anti-capitalist origin of the game

Dana: tries to lose so she can leave. Ends up getting second place after being forced to play for hours

CW: keeps forgetting which piece is his. Insists on coming up with a story to explain why he’s in jail

Jo: the winner

Sue: is the banker because there are only 8 player pieces

Carol: pretends she doesn’t know it’s happening because then it’s not her problem

Reid, on his 12th cup of coffee and 0 hours of sleep: “I think I can feel death coming for me.”

Emily, not even looking up from her paperwork: “Tell him I say hi.”

The formula for both the most beloved and most hated characters:

It’s either “I want to help the world at large but ruin individual lives along the way” douchebags or “I may want to help the world right now but I’m also one inconvenience away from trying to set it on fire” relatable gremlins and no in between

I love that Gyro’s character arc made him a better person but not a nice person. The writers were like ‘even at his best he’s a bit of a bastard and one inconvenience away from turning evil and there’s nothing wrong with that’ and that makes him the most relatable character Disney has ever created

*Fighting after Emily was Emily™*

Rossi: Can I just say, this is why you have trouble finding a man

Emily: You know who didn’t have trouble finding a man? Your ex-wife

If I had a nickel for every time a character played by Danny Pudi had someone they care about leave to go sail around the world, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
