@Community fans, I just thought of this while eating dinner, and it was too cool (at least, IMO) not to share. Have fun with it!

Okay, so, remember the brightest timeline from “Remedial Chaos Theory?” This episode made me wanna find a group of strangers to be a found family with and solidly cemented found family as my favorite trope in all of media

Well, obviously, the lesson to take away from that is that Jeff can (and does) often go overboard in shutting others down. Kinda like an anchor - he can tell the study group when to stop and reign them in, but sometimes he’s too intense and ends up dragging everyone down instead.

Some people even jokingly say that this is the best timeline because Pierce doesn’t get to tell his Eartha Kitt story. And he even has the perfect segue to do so - whereas in the other timelines, Pierce has to kinda shoehorn the story in there, he doesn’t have to for this one because Troy literally says that Jeff sucks harder than an airplane bathroom. And yet he chooses not to tell the story!

And while I believe that this timeline is the best because of those reasons, I also believe there’s one major player being overlooked: Britta.

Britta is a buzzkill. The show has established this (though personally, I don’t see it) continuously, ever since the season 1 episode “The Science of Illusion.” (leading to one of the most tragically funny lines in the entire series for me - “Knock knock! Who’s there, cancer? Oh, good, come on in, i ThoUGht iT wAS bRitTA”)

But a surprising thing to note is that the best timeline, this timeline, is the only one where Britta is allowed to be herself. Britta, the notorious buzzkill, actually starts the fun. Britta, who is constantly dunked on in the show for ruining things, is the one who lifts the group’s spirits.

I guess one could take that to mean Britta is, actually, the heart of the show, to paraphrase from Jeff in “The Science of Illusion.”

And this is what makes me so upset about the Britta haters in the fandom and the way her character was treated by others in the show. Britta brings so MUCH (the group was basically/indirectly formed because of her) but she still gets so dunked on by the rest of the group and a (significant minority) of the fandom.

But I guess that’s also what I admire about Britta. Her determination. She gets hated on day after day after day (thanks for that, Dan Harmon & co.; look, I love the guy’s writing, but...like...he’s not perfect), but she still comes back, day after day after day, ready to love and wanting, at her core, to be a good person. She could have become so jaded and cynical after being constantly hated on, but she still wants to do right by her friends and be good.

Britta has her flaws, sure, but people often forget that Britta brings a lot to the group because she’s low-hanging fruit to laugh at. And I think the fandom needs to hear this every once in a while: Britta is more than a flawed, hypocritical soapbox Sadie. Britta is a kickass role model, overcompensating for what she lacks with her heart.

I know Britta would hate this comparison, but I’ve always felt that Britta is the Cinderella of Community - a kind and caring female badass trapped in a place that doesn’t (always) appreciate her worth, even though she’s making said place so much better. And “Remedial Chaos Theory” is a good reminder of that.

troy barnes and his forgotten love confession

pairing: troy barnes/abed nadir

summary: troy and abed wake up in the library surrounded by their disoriented classmates with their memories wiped. unfortunately for troy, one look in his friend’s eyes caused the entire forgotten ordeal to play out inside his head-- including the love confession that ended with a scream of agony.

warnings: uh language? insecurities maybe? zzzzombies?

notes: trobed time babeyyyyyyyy B-) also this is sort of a trail run for me writing for trobed? just trying it out with a short 1.3k word fic. lmk how you like it bc i am operating off of feedback. idk i love these two theyre wonderful and i would die for them i think. SPOILERS FOR COMMUNITY S2 EP6 “EPIDEMIOLOGY”

taglist: @simonsbluee

______

The first thing Troy noticed was the pounding headache. The lights were all too bright and everyone was too loud and he felt like he’d gotten hit by a car. It was almost as if he was hungover, but one glance at his surroundings disproved his theory. The library was filled with groggy students and staff, the hallways jammed by sluggish athletes and a passed out Leonard. Troy didn’t really care about them, though, all he really cared about was the fact that Abed was lying on the floor beside him in a torn up Predator costume.

It was Halloween. The dean had thrown a party-- why couldn’t he remember it? It was all a fuzzy cloud of nothingness; for Troy, that’s almost normal, but something about this felt… different. Almost as if the gaping hole in his brain was made by something other than Troy. For a moment, the memories teetered on the edge of his conscious stream of thoughts, but they were quickly dissolved by Abed’s groan of discomfort.

“Troy,” He whined. “Are we hungover or were we drugged by Russian spies?” Abed’s hand brushed Troy’s as he struggled to sit up beside his friend. “Or maybe the dean’s Halloween party descended into chaos to the point where the government had to get involved…” Abed trails off. Troy was too disoriented to focus on anything other than the wisp of a recollection that swirled in his hippocampus. He felt sick, but Abed made it a little better.

“Abed,” Troy asks. His voice is unsure and the sentence is punctuated with a fitting voice crack. “Do you--”

“Remember anything from the past 12 hours? No. I’m assuming you don’t either, which leads me to believe that no one here does. Usually, I’d be more than happy to launch ourselves into an investigation, but to be honest, I feel like shit,” Troy can only smile at Abed’s ability to read him like a book. It’s almost as if they shared brain cells-- Abed was, in every sense of the phrase, Troy’s soulmate. Something in Troy’s brain stirred the moment the word ‘soulmate’ crossed his mind. Something was lurking beneath the fog in his head, he just needed to draw it out.

“We should save the adventuring for tomorrow,” Troy agrees after a long pause. “God, my head hurts,”

“When we get home we can watch a movie and lay down for a bit, that might make you feel better,” Abed assures before rising to his feet. He looked down at Troy expectantly, but Troy was frozen in place. Something about hearing Abed call his tiny dorm their home struck Troy differently than usual-- he held onto the phrase before looking back up at the man above him. Anxiously, Troy took Abed’s hand and rose to his feet. It was apparent that Abed mistook Troy’s silence for something negative.

“We don’t have to watch a movie-- if you wanted to you could just go home. Or we could make a blanket fort and sleep in there,”

“I don’t care what we do, as long as we’re together,” Troy grins. “And, uh, away from the dean. He looks oddly… manic.” They both glance over at their dean and erupt into giggles at the sight of his askew wig and ruffled skirt. Dean Pelton’s costume was great, sure, but in that moment he looked less like Lady Gaga and more like a barbie doll that got caught in a garbage disposal.

Troy and Abed walked hand-in-hand to Abed’s dorm room, small groups of confused students hidden in the corners as they walked. The feeling of Troy’s fingers intertwined with those of his best friend was both familiar and foreign-- they held hands all the time, but this time felt different. It felt less like a simple sign of affection and more like a statement; with every brush of Abed’s fingers on Troy’s knuckles, something between them changed.

“I was thinking something mellow,” Abed cuts through the silence. “I don’t know why, but I don’t think I can handle anything too intense,” Troy nods, a movie suggestion falling silent on his lips as his eyes meet Abed’s for the first time that night. One glance in the spiraling brown irises his friend dawns opened the floodgates of Troy’s mind. It was everything, all at once-- an overwhelming whirlwind of emotion and struggle and pain and confusion. There were zombies and a hot doctor and chaos and the U.S Military, but Troy didn’t care about any of that. No, his main focus was the echoing goodbye in his brain.

He and Abed were cornered. Troy could escape, but it soon became apparent that he would have to leave Abed or succumb to the zombie virus that overtook their community college. And so, Troy said the one phrase he held back every single time he saw Abed-- he spilled his guts before his best friend was torn apart.

“I love you,”

“I know,”

Troy’s eyes filled with tears; the mixture of the overwhelming rush of the past 12 hours and the emotions that rocked him to his core making his tears inevitable. It’s not uncommon for Troy to start crying, but Abed could tell that this time, something was different.

However, Abed had never been good with handling emotional situations. He did his best, hastily tugging Troy into his dorm room. He sat him down on the sofa, grabbing the first blanket he saw and wrapping it snugly around Troy’s shoulders. Abed darted around the room, frantically searching for something to comfort Troy; it wasn’t until Troy grabbed Abed’s forearm that he paused.

“Abed?”

“Yeah?”

“I--” Troy stopped. He didn’t know what to do. He was anxious and tired and all he wanted to do was fall asleep in the middle of a stupid horror movie next to his best friend, but he couldn’t do that because his hellbrain was screaming at him. He loved Abed, sure, but did Abed love him? An offhand Star Wars reference doesn’t count as an ‘I love you’, although when it came to Abed, you could never be sure. Troy thought back to the night he dislocated his shoulders. He thought about how he acted under stress, how he ruined his chances at a football scholarship; he ruined his life and made the best decision he ever had in the same move. He couldn’t take the risk again-- he couldn’t risk losing his closest friend over something so trivial. He took a deep breath.

“I-- uh-- I really appreciate everything you’ve done. For me.” A second passes and Abed doesn’t react.

“Oh. It’s okay, you’re my friend. I’ll always take care of you,” Abed’s voice was calculated and robotic, but his words held depth that only Troy could truly understand. Abed smiled before opening the cabinet beneath his TV, revealing a plethora of movies ranging from rom-coms to thrasher to historical fiction.

“I went through the movie selection we have-- our mellow options include Coraline and--”

“There is no way that Coraline is mellow, that shit is horrifying!” Troy chuckled, wiping away the few remaining tears on his face. The mood was lightening and the natural rhythm the two shared was once again buzzing through the air.

One day, Troy will tell Abed how he feels. He did it once, he could probably do it again. Or maybe he can’t. Maybe he’ll be a coward forever. Maybe he’ll die alone in a ditch with a stray cat named Doug-- hell, even Doug will leave him--

“Troy?” The swaddled man was snapped out of his thoughts. Troy tried his hardest to hide his anxiety, but it was apparent that he was failing.

“Yeah?” Abed paused. He looked down at his palms before intertwining his fingers in his lap. There were three movies laid out on the coffee table, but Abed didn’t acknowledge them. Troy was afraid, but he wasn’t sure why. It was the odd seriousness that muted the buzz from before. Abed knew-- he had to. That’s the only reason why his mood would shift so drastically. He knew that Troy loved him, he remembered the disastrous party and the zombies and he knew. Finally, after three solid minutes of Troy’s silent panic, Abed spoke.

“I love you.”

Summary:

ABED, continuing: I’m bisexual. I know it’s usually more typical on a sitcom to keep any possible deviations from heterosexuality confined to ambiguous jokes in order not to alienate a mainstream audience but most people already find me pretty off-putting, so. Rich and I are going to do Pride and Prejudice at the dance.

At the other end of the table, ANNIE suddenly gets up and silently leaves the room. TROY looks at ABED once, then runs after her.

Long, awkward silence.

PIERCE, having wrestled a long scroll out of his binder: Hey, they’re going to miss my speech for Ay-bed being gay!

Abed takes Rich to a school dance, and Annie and Jeff freak out. Featuring date sabotage and counter-sabotage, more than one coming out, and the themes of Pride and Prejudice. [Fake episode-style script fic.]

Well, I’ve descended into Community fixation so I wrote a fic about it! It’s about being gay.

Advanced Psychological Analysis, a community fanfic

Rating: T

Characters: Abed Nadir & Jeff Winger

Summary: “Jeff understands Abed more than he lets on. Maybe more than he even wants to admit to himself.” Or, a look at the ways Jeff and Abed are similar, and how that forms the core of their relationship. Half-meta half-fic. Warning for a very brief allusion to disordered eating.

Be sure to check out my author’s note at the end.

Read on AO3.

Jeff understands Abed more than he lets on. Maybe more than he even wants to admit to himself. It’s why he rarely pushes back against Abed’s quirks, if you could call them that, with any real force. Like when Abed tries to manipulate the group into a sitcom-worthy conclusion, or sticks a camera in Jeff’s face instead of confronting his own emotions, or goes on about alternate, evil universes. Sure Jeff will tell Abed to shut up, but there’s no malice behind it. Jeff knows Abed can’t really change these things—it’s how he copes in the world.

Because there are things Jeff can’t change about himself, too. He’s not saying he couldn’t be better. He knows he should eat more and exercise less, and he at least hopes there’s a future where he’s happier and more settled in his own skin. But it seems to him that there are fundamental, unchangeable aspects of his discomfort and his insecurity that he can’t so much change as he can learn to live with. Or maybe he’s just been living this way so long he can’t imagine another reality. At minimum, he’s pretty sure not everyone feels the way he does.

It’s the best he can do to hide those things deep within himself. To act and charm his way into blending in with his surroundings. Unlike Abed, who is unabashed in his peculiarity, Jeff comes off as relatively functional and well-adjusted. But the truth is he and Abed have a lot in common. He’s sure a qualified psychologist might have some insight into the ways he and Abed are different, too, but then again, neither him nor Abed have recently been to a psychologist anyway.

Abed always positions himself a little apart from the rest of the study group. He cocks his head as he watches them sit around the study table and analyzes each person’s every move. Jeff never truly feels part of the group either. He has learned to slouch against the wall, half-scroll through his phone, and smile enough so no one notices how he can never quite let loose. Although he understands social cues in a way Abed doesn’t, Jeff can never fully trust that the group likes him, can never quite believe they’ll really stick around, and so he holds them at arms’ length . Even though it’s been years since he was a lawyer, he can’t quite shake the urge to size up each member of the group, analyze what makes them tick and how that might benefit him. Maybe that’s why Abed asked Jeff to help him connect with people—Jeff connects with the study group in a way Abed can understand and replicate. Because Jeff gets it. He knows what it’s like to belong, and yet never quite belong at the same.

Abed just wants to fit in—no, that’s not it exactly. Abed just wants to be accepted. Didn’t Jeff want the exact same thing as a lawyer? Didn’t he seek desperate acceptance from peers who he knew were different from him? They had money. They had gone to college. Out of state, no less. Some of them had even travelled abroad. So Jeff learned to talk like them and look like them until he almost believed he belonged. It’s a skill that he’s thankful for that Abed doesn’t quite have.

No, that’s not true, either. Abed is an exceptional mimic. He impersonates celebrities and movie characters with uncanny accuracy. Maybe it’s just that Abed is braver. He looks around at the study group, at his classmates, at his family, and decides it doesn’t matter whether they get him or not. Abed doesn’t compromise himself for the comfort of others. Jeff can’t do that. Can’t even fathom not putting up a front and showing others only the Jeff they want to see: The dick-who-just-wants-to-get-in-your-pants Jeff. The ripped-leading-man-sex-god Jeff. The smarmy-rich-asshole-lawyer Jeff. Jeff can play them all so well that he has everyone fooled.

Here’s a secret: It’s not that Jeff’s lazy, it’s that he’s not good at school. He isn’t stupid—he really was a good lawyer. But he’s a terrible student. It takes him twice as long as the rest of the study group to read a textbook chapter. And he has to read it twice to truly comprehend it. He hates spelling in English, let alone remembering Spanish verb conjugations. All the convoluted anthropology terms were hell to remember, and that’s not even considering the pages of biology definitions he was supposed to memorize. Instead he pretends to scroll through his phone and waits for Annie to give up and tell him the homework answers.

Most of all, it’s dumb because Jeff doesn’t need to memorize words or write essays to be successful. He’s a good public speaker. He can remember anything after he’s heard it once (unfortunately all of Greendale’s teachers were useless in their lectures). Britta would probably tell him to go to student services and try to get extra time on his exams, but she doesn’t understand how admitting to this issue would open the door to admitting to all his other issues. So the study group doesn’t know: He has had a lifetime of practice in fooling people into believing he’s lazy instead of struggling. If anyone suspects anything it’s Abed, who sometimes wordlessly shares his notes with Jeff. But Abed is a vault when it comes to other’s secrets. (Unless he intentionally uses secrets as leverage to get something; a characteristic Jeff admits they share).

Once Jeff conned his way into a Bachelor’s degree and cheated his way through the LSATs and law school, it got easier. He eventually had assistants to do all his reading and research, but more often than not, Jeff relied on his memory, instinct, and ability to speak off the cuff about anything. Because he wasn’t stupid; he knew he could never fake his way as a high-powered corporate lawyer. But as a well-respected, mid-range defense lawyer no one suspected a thing. Lawyers were a funny, insecure bunch, and cautious flattery and subtle manipulation paved the way for a solid career.

Even Jeff’s decision to pursue law was a careful calculation. He had known since his parents’ divorce case that law seemed to hinge on who could construct the more convincing reality. So when he opened his abysmal results after rewriting his SATs (before he perfected his ability to cheat on standardized tests), he figured law was a career in which he could fake his way to success, all while attaining the best standard of living possible. It was a career that carried prestige. It paid well. And as far as he could tell, he just had to keep talking until everyone believed him. Of course that had all fallen apart when Allen found out about his phony Bachelor’s degree. He had been cocky trying to pass off his degree as from Columbia. If he could go back and do it again, he would fake a Bachelor’s degree from a small, middle-of-the-pack college that’s less likely to grab the attention of colleagues. But he was young and inexperienced then.

He still has a hard time feeling remorseful for the way he cheated his way into a law career. Maybe he would feel bad if he were a bad lawyer, but he wasn’t. (Well, he may have gotten a bunch of grade-A douchebags off of charges, but that was what he was supposed to do). The way Jeff sees it, he still put a lot of work into his career, it just wasn’t the same type of work his peers had put in. If the world’s not going to make it easy for him, he’s going to have to bend the rules so he can succeed.

So when Jeff sees Abed construct elaborate ways to align the outside world to his own TV-infused reality, Jeff gets it. When Abed insists that everyone has magically transformed into Claymation or when he sees the floor as lava, or an empty bedroom as some sort of virtual reality playground, Jeff gets it. It’s weird, and not at all like Jeff’s long history of faking his way through life, but it’s the same sort of underlying coping mechanism. Where Britta, Shirley, or even Annie try to talk Abed out of his delusions, Jeff understands that vital, visceral need to somehow rearrange the world into a place in which he can fit, or at least cope. Because Jeff catches the way Abed looks sometimes as he stands to the side of the study group. It’s not sad, necessarily, but it is lonely. Jeff knows that feeling—that sinking feeling of knowing you might be able to fool others, but you can’t fool yourself into belonging.

And then there’s Abed’s particularity. He eats the same foods, puts his DVDs back in the same precise order, watches the same movies on the same nights with the same people. Abed needs those routines, those islands of solidity in an ever-changing and confusing world. He’s seen Abed break down when those constants are torn away from him—the high keening sound he makes and the way his face goes blank and he doesn’t talk to anyone.

Jeff just avoids ever having to confront his constants changing. It’s one of the reasons he lives alone—the ability to do exactly what he wants at exactly the time he wants. He eats one of the same four or five high-protein, low-carb meals for dinner. He follows a precise workout routine at the same time every day. He drinks the same type of scotch from the same glass with the same line-up of stupid reality TV that he pretends he doesn’t like but really is very invested in. He can’t sleep unless he follows his 30-step skin care regime.

The difference between him and Abed, though, is that Jeff’s particularities are more acceptable, more easily rationalized as things that are normal to fixate on. So everyone looks at Abed and sees a gawky twentysomething kid who can perfectly recite the TV guide’s nightly lineup, but has no interest in polite smalltalk, and who lives in a world of TV tropes and plain buttered noodles. They peg him as endearingly quirky at best, or ridicule him at worst. When everyone looks at Jeff, they see a thirtysomething who’s into fitness and healthy eating—a lawyer who can spin inspirational speeches out of thin air. They call him successful or put-together. People draw an arbitrary line so that Abed is weird and Jeff is normal. But Jeff knows better, and he thinks, so does Abed.

Jeff is certainly not perfect. There are times when he snaps at Abed, because he snaps at the whole study group. Or because Abed has fixated on something at the absolute worst time, and Jeff doesn’t have the patience for it because his dad might be showing up any moment. More than once he’s gotten physical with Abed and had to return and apologize (after having a panic attack in the bathroom about turning into his father). Sometimes Abed’s particularities and Jeff’s own particularities clash, and Jeff just has to walk away before he blows up.

But Jeff likes to think that, even without saying anything, he and Abed have a sort of understanding of each other. A pact that they won’t try to judge or fix one another. When there’s no one else around and Jeff is able to drop his cool act, he lets himself enjoy TV and movies with Abed. He feels his shoulders relax as he lets go of his fear that someone might see through him. Or more accurately, Abed might be able to see through him, but he gets it, so Jeff doesn’t care. Jeff lets Abed’s endless TV analysis wash over him as Abed fiddles absentmindedly with an action figure. Abed smiles, a brief quirk of his lips, and that makes Jeff smile too.

Someday Jeff hopes he’ll be able to tell Abed the truth: That Abed’s casual confidence has changed Jeff’s life. That it made him realize, ever so slightly, that he doesn’t need to work so hard to hide every part of himself. But until then, he just hopes he can be a decent friend.

~fin

A/N: I've sat on the finished draft of this fic for a while, because I was afraid that this fic would come off as trying to diagnosing Abed and/or Jeff. It's not. At the same time, I didn't want to sound like I was purposely avoiding a diagnosis (particularly for Abed who is pretty much canon autistic). I ultimately landed on the explanation that, while this is a character study, it's still a fic from Jeff's POV (or more accurately his subconscious) and he wouldn't have the understanding or resources to give any sort of official diagnosis. It's handy because I also don't feel comfortable doing that. At the same time, much of this fic is drawn from my own experiences, or listening to other's experiences, so I do stand by what I've written.

Secondly, the part about Jeff finding school more difficult than his peers was inspired by interviews with Joel McHale talking about his own experiences in high school/college with undiagnosed dyslexia. I'm very interested in the fact that Jeff chose to fake his whole degree instead of actually going to a school and figuring whatever way to graduate. To me, that can't just be out of laziness - maybe it was a financial thing, but I figured it also could be a deliberate decision to avoid a situation that was difficult for him. Again, I went back and forth about whether I wanted to include this, but I figured that actors do make up a significant part of who the character is, and there are lots of instances of Community borrowing from the actor's lives for their characters.

Community already came up with the perfect story for a potential movie through a storyline from season 5. The comedy series from Dan Harmon originally aired from 2009 to 2015. After running for five seasons, NBC canceled Community before Yahoo! Screen revived the show for a sixth and final season. While there had been rumors of a sequel movie since the show came to an end, interest has resurged due to Community currently streaming on both Hulu and Netflix.

Before Community concluded, a few members of the core study group in focus were written out of the show. With the absences of Troy Barnes (Donald Glover), Shirley Bennett (Yvette Nicole Brown), and Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase), Harmon's comedy encountered a void that could not be filled. Despite their departures, Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), Annie Edison (Alison Brie), Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs), and Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi) remained at Greendale Community College to serve as members of the "Save Greendale Committee." In the series finale, the main characters embark on separate journeys, but it was clear that they would remain lifelong friends.

Related: Community's Donald Glover Spider-Man Easter Egg Explained

Development of a Community movie began in 2014, which was before the show officially came to an end. In the years that followed, Harmon claimed that the ball was still rolling, giving fans hope that it would eventually come to fruition. More recently, multiple cast members came out in support of a feature film, and former Community directors Joe and Anthony Russo expressed interest in taking the helm of the project. As for the synopsis of the movie, Glover was the one who mentioned a fitting storyline. During a charitable table read in May 2020, Glover pitched a movie focused on finding Troy. The actor notably exited the series in season 5 after his character left for a sailing trip. Interestingly enough, Harmon shared a similar idea at a previous San Diego Comic-Con panel.

Following Glover's exit from the show, Community didn't often mention Troy, but it was made clear that Abed wasn't the same without his best friend around. During the table read, Glover added that it would be fitting for the movie to focus on Abed's mission to find and locate Troy. This would allow Abed to round up fellow members of the study group to go off on a special adventure. Not only would the situation call for a reunion, but it would also allow the movie to update each characters' respective lives. Community Season 5 featured a clever nod to Troy's fate, indicating that he was captured by pirates. This detail already paves the way for a shenanigan-filled journey, which is right up Community's alley.

If the Community movie does center on a Troy rescue mission, it would also need to incorporate the community college. The campus could serve as the group's headquarters as they investigate Troy's whereabouts before heading out on their journey. This way, the movie could feature familiar faces like Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) and Ben Chang (Ken Jeong). While it would be unlikely for Pierce to be involved due to his death, maybe Chase would agree to cameo for another holographic projection. Donald Glover is arguably the busiest Community cast member, but a storyline linked to his disappearance allows the actor to still return but in a limited capacity. Only time will tell what Harmon has in store for the future of Community.

I got tagged by @a-mi-zivi

Rules: 1. Tell us your Top 10 characters from different fandoms. (…I limited myself to five, each. Except HP, because it was too hard. Dude, that was hard enough. All arranged alphabetically, not in order of preference or anything.)

2. Tag 10 people.

tagging: @bizeke @donttouchandrewminyard @derekslaura @gentlepromises @girlronanlynch @pansexualpoedamneron @gaylukeskywalkers @scarlettwitchery @saralanceing @bpdrussell & literally anyone else who wants to do it can just do it and blame me (and contrariwise, if I tagged you and you don’t want to do it, no pressure <3)

Community: Abed Nadir, Dean Pelton, Jeff Winger, Shirley Bennett, (my number five changes on a daily basis, usually between Troy, Annie, and Britta, but I can’t pick right now, so fuck it, I pick Annie Kim and Quendra with a QU)

DC: Cassandra Cain/Black Bat, Harley Quinn, Jason Todd/Red Hood, Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow, Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy

But honorable mention nods go to Dick Grayson/Nightwing, Koriand’r/Starfire, Raven/Rachel Roth, Renee Montoya/Question, Roy Harper/Speedy/Red Arrow, Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, Tim Drake/Red Robin, and Wonder Woman, and this list was hard for, “there are SO MANY CHARACTERS, THE FUCK” reasons.

And Sandman technically is a DC title, but whatever: Death, Delirium/Delight, Desire, Despair, and Dream/Morpheus of the Endless, tyvm

Good Omens: Adam “the Antichrist” Young, Anathema Device, Aziraphale, Crowley, Pepper (Pippin Galadriel Moonchild)

Harry Potter: Andromeda Black Tonks, Barty Crouch Jr., Cedric Diggory, Cho Chang, Hermione Granger, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Lavender Brown, Luna Lovegood, Pansy Parkinson, Percy Weasley, Remus Lupin, Zacharias Smith

Sirius Black and Severus Snape get to share honorable mention status because, even though they are actually in my top ten, I know that being on the same point would annoy the ever-living shit out of both of them. Which amuses me because I am easily entertained.

AlSev Potter and Scorpius Malfoy get to share a point because the ones I love are essentially headcanon, since my take on Cursed Child is, “*nods* Uh huh… that’s nice… I’m going to ignore like 99% of it, but okay, it’s nice”

Legit Honorable Mentions:

[this is where i’d list the Dumbledore family and Gellert but it’s Complicated and i can’t legit list them without needing to Discuss it, so let’s just not even bother today]

Bill Weasley

Charlie Weasley

Dean Thomas

Dolores Umbridge

(in a way where I absolutely despise her as a person, but I appreciate her presence in the story because she is, along with Barty Jr., the only fucking COMPETENT villain in the books.

Also, she’s the actual, “repulsive to the core but makes no excuses for it just like white male villains, does her own thing and fuck anyone who tries to stop her, self-determined and she has decided to be awful, feminist on a meta level where she’s terrible just to be terrible without any excuses being made for it” villain that so many people have tried to make out of Bellatrix, when…… lol no, Bellatrix is a total fucking joke, sorry ‘bout it.

Like, man, Umbridge sucks, but she enriches the story and presents an actual, credible threat that has any kind of internal consistency and isn’t just, “I read an entry on fascism in a children’s encyclopedia and made it an OTT cartoon caricature of itself and added some cult leader BS because of reasons or w/e, and named it Voldemort, lol” — I appreciate that, as a reader, even if JKR did it more by accident than anything)

Fleur Delacour

Gilderoy Lockhart

(I blame myself entirely for making up Kingsley/Lockhart headcanons and getting Defensive of him in the face of JKR’s ableism; I should’ve known better, because shit like literally always happens to me, but I did it anyway because I never fucking learn)

Harry Potter

Justin Finch-Fletchley

(……I have post-war headcanons. A lot of them. You probably don’t want to know them, though, bc they’re depressing as fuck)

Nymphadora Tonks

Parvati Patil

Regulus Black

Ron Weasley

Ted Tonks

Viktor Krum

and a whole bunch of characters who are basically headcanon because they are literally just names who do like one or two things and that's it

Hunger Games: Annie Cresta, Finnick Odair, Johanna Mason, Katniss Everdeen, Madge Undersee

Marvel: shit, I did this one last and I have to go to therapy, so this is basically, “the order in which they came to mind and I stopped at eight bc holy fucking SHIT, there are a lot of characters” — Erik/Magneto, Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner (my small blue Catholic mutant son <3), Sam, Steve, Bucky, Natasha, Ororo, and I feel like I should list someone else, but anyone who knows my usual type knows that Loki is exactly my type and I was all but doomed to be Loki trash. Which I am. Whoops. Sorry for my choices.

Sailor Moon: Fiore (……from the “Promise of the Rose” movie. ……I love my gay glam rock alien son), Tenoh Haruka/Sailor Uranus, Tomoe Hotaru/Sailor Saturn/Mistress Nine, Tsukino “Chibi” Usagi/Sailor Chibi Moon/Wicked Lady/Princess Usagi Small Lady Serenity/etc., Tsukino Usagi/Sailor Moon/Princess + Neo Queen Serenity/etc.

Star Trek (DS9): Captain Benjamin Lafayette “the rest of Starfleet are a bunch of slackers, has YOUR captain become space Jesus and saved the entire Alpha Quadrant lately” Sisko, Elim Garak, Julian Bashir, Kira Nerys, Tora Ziyal

Kasidy, Worf, Jadzia, General Martok, and Ezri get honorable mentions because this list was really hard to even whittle down to FIVE, but.

Star Wars and, “Star Trek (Everything But DS9)” were vetoed as categories because picking was hard and I didn’t feel like it.

Steven Universe: Amethyst, Connie Maheswaran, Garnet, Lapis Lazuli, Peridot

Yuri On Ice: Christophe Giacometti, Katsuki Yuuri, Lee Seung-Gil, Phichit Chulanont, Victor Nikiforov

Bonus — My Own Novel(s) bc Reasons: (also done before running to therapy) Sebastian, Pete, Josie, Margot, Lucy.

#memes for ts #fandom shenanigans #mine: memes #mine: shitposting #mine: personal #hi hello i'm trash glad we established that #i'll add better tags later if i need to okay bye i need to go to therapy

Ahead of RBA

Busy calendars in the US, the EU and Asia will keep markets on their toes this week. In the US, further evidence that the recovery is continuing at a solid pace would be welcomed by Wall Street, where more fresh record highs were recorded last week. In the EU, the data will be closely monitored for any drag from the run-up in infections that has accompanied the holiday travel season. Asia has the usual month-end deluge from Japan and the timely PMIs from China, with activity in the former seen as sluggish while markets will look for additional signs that China is further out on the recovery curve relative to the US, EU and Japan. UK markets are closed Monday for a bank holiday.

Australia’s RBA meeting is the very first highlight of a busy calendar. The RBA is expected to hold rates steady at 0.25%. The views widely remain that the policy rate will be held at the current level for an extended time, likely through at least 2021, as the RBA joins the core central banks in keeping policy very accommodative to support the economy. Further stimulative measures remain a possibility if deemed necessary, such as a rate cut to 0.10% or perhaps the adoption of QE to reduce long term rates.

As for economic data, the Q2 GDP report (Wednesday) is expected to reveal a -8.0% plunge (q/q, sa) after the -0.3% dip in Q1. A big drop in GDP is widely expected given the shutdown early in the quarter to control the spread of the virus. The Q2 current account and September building approvals are due out Tuesday. The trade report (Thursday) is projected to reveal a narrowing to A$5.0 bln in the July surplus from the A$8.2 bln surplus in June. Retail sales (Friday) are anticipated to rise 3.0% in July after the 2.7% improvement in June.

In regards to the currency market, the Aussie is the biggest gainer in the softening US dollar environment out of the main currencies we keep tabs on, showing an advance of 1.1% with regard to the former, and 1.3% with regard to the less liquid latter, although a little off their respective highs. Along with Kiwi they are marginally beating the Yen into third spot on the biggest winners table. The Japanese currency was catapulted high on a safe-haven bid following news of Japanese PM Abe’s resignation (creating political uncertainty and marking the end of Abenomics), which catalysed a sharp drop in Japanese stock markets.

The antipodean currencies, meanwhile, have been buoyed indirectly by the Fed’s framework regime shift. AUDUSD is trading at levels last seen in December 2018, making a high so far of 0.7350. Last week’s 2.5% gain marks a re-acceleration in the pair’s five-month rally, which has lifted the pair by nearly 33.5% from the March nadir, which has more than reversed the heavy losses that were seen as the pandemic and consequential global lockdowns sparked a panic in global markets.

Trend following has been in play, which seems likely to remain the case, although the Aussie can no longer be labelled as cheap relative to the greenback.
