Obviously Trobed is the main love story of Community and is practically canon in one way or another and I adore it, but I must say on this rewatch I'm nursing a little flicker of a fond and curious spark about the possibilties of Jabed

#No one throw tomatoes at me I'm allowed to multiship!!!#anyway something about Jeff occupying a persona out of fear and Abed occupying many personas out of love #something about Jeff being a man in his 30s so terrified of being unlovable that he crafts the persona of a man too cool for love #vs Abed a man who's been told he's weird/alien so many times that by his 20s(?) he's fully abandoned any shits he might have once gave #Jeff who makes out like he's a smooth ladykiller who has beautiful women throwing themselves at him #vs Abed who ACTUALLY has women (and men) throwing themselves at him because he's weird and it's hot #Jeff who's still not convinced he's a real person at all under the facade #Abed who's so confident in who/what he is that he can take vacations from it and step into totally different personas but always snap back #I think it's genuinely so important that they're the first two of the Greendale seven to meet/hang out #Jeff needs Abed to call him on his shit and show him it's possible as an adult to be weird and playful and loved for it #Abed needs Jeff to ground him a little and to take the group spotlight so Abed can observe and play to his heart's content #anyway i think in the best timeline we got an ep subplot like the han solo!Abed and Annie subplot #wherein Abed embodied a character Jeff has a buried crush on and briefly had a whirlwind romance with him and rocked his world #and Jeff has a crisis for like a week bc he considers himself a pickup artist who knows all the tricks #but the study group TV nerd just swept him off his feet and then strolled away like it was *nothing*#anyway don't mind me. Trying to prepare myself for a difficult day with some harmless blorbo thoughts #mr. bees speaks
