so i’ve been binge-watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine all day and I am totally on board with the “John Mulaney should guest star on the show as Jake’s high school best friend/lowkey boyfriend” idea, but I raise you
Once everyone putting it together that they weren’t “just friends”, Amy (out of confusion more than anything) asks “Wait, Jake, you dated John Mulaney in high school?”
And just as Jake is responding “Uh, I guess so?”
John Mulaney says “Wait, your name is Jake?”
Turns out John Mulaney spent the entire time thinking Jake’s name was John (and, of course, this is at the end of the episode, and John Mulaney has only ever referred to Jake as “Peralta”).
John as in “Salt & Pepper Diner” John. As in “Scatter” John.
As is “Jake Peralta has been featured in half of John Mulaney’s best bits over the years, but nobody put it together because of wild misunderstandings”
the scariest scene for me in the show is when annabeth is aggressive toward the police officer. i was so afraid for her life. because she doesn't know to be wary. because she and her dad never had that conversation. hand downs. scariest scene.
God! Miller, just kiss me already! No, not like this! That, that… What? What does that mean? No, I didn’t… Nothing. I just, I didn’t mean it like that. I just, we can’t like that because that’s not… Do you know, like…? It’s very, like, you don’t… That’s not what it…
New Girl (2011 - 2018)
Got back from seeing the movie again and a tiny theme I liked was the solidarity in the younger POC generation vs the older gen.
Margo, Hobie, Pavitr and Miles all had eachother’s back. They fought together, they helped eachother in small ways like Hobie telling Miles to use the palms, and big ways like Miles saving Captain Singh and Margo letting Miles go “home”.
They could’ve stopped him, they could’ve not helped eachother but they did. Because they understood and they all realized what was wrong with the Spider Society. All of them at the end came together to support and help Miles, in the way the rest of the spiders couldn’t.
And when you put that into perspective with Miguel and Jessica, older POC that gave no support. They believe that Miles has to suffer in order to become Spider-Man, that pain will always have to happen.
But the others don’t believe that, they know that best way to be a hero is uplift and help eachother. Often the parents, the older generation compromise their morals and others for the future, for them to grow up safer and yet the future generation always has to reckon with the consequences of those actions without even having a say in the first place.
That’s a damn message, and I love that they used the younger poc generation to show that because this does happen in real life, there is a difference and our parents, our grandparents believe that pain has to happen for our identity to be created.
Now that Colin is safe from the threat of a previously bully journalist outing him and can more objectively pick up on queer-coding cues in the club, who's going to write the fic where he goes full tedtrent conspiracy theorist, trying to figure out if Ted is available on his new mentor's behalf?
Oh Trent's got it BAD for the gaffer, this is perfect... yeah, yeah Coach has freaking HEART EYES whenever he looks his way! ... wait... shit... did Coach just say he's straight? fuck, oh no ... hold on, he 'WAS' a straight man? what are you now?? ... Roy says Trent went full dork on Coach and was glowing afterwards - though I think Roy said something more along the lines of 'Looked like there was fucking sunshine spewing out of his ass' - alright, alright, I think we're still on track!!
Colin, the second Trent walks into the room: You are a strong and capable man, Trent. You are not a piece of shit. Ted would be lucky to have you.
Trent: ??!!????!!!?

Jamie Tartt with all the braincells in this episode
Also I'm obsessed with Richard and Jan; they're both insane and I demand they do a Paris episode so Jan can be the bitchy Dutchman he deserves to be
