i feel so !!!! disconnected !!!! from my friends, family, art and self. how do i ground myself and feel like im me again. i feel like a piece of dust floating around

I hate this so fucking much

ok ok listen i know a lot of people have been bringing up the fact that they dont like brooklyn nine nine because they feel like it’s a “pro-cop show” and it’s “idolizing a gross system” but like?? please try to understand that that is not the point of this show at all?? they have explicitly stated the problem with the police system in one of the episodes, where amy lists real concerns and holt puts up a poster that says “tell us how we can be better.” this is one of the very few shows who i see actually addressing real problems like gun control issues, homophobia, racism, and transphobia (it was just a mention, but still way more than any other show), while still being lighthearted and hilarious. just because this show is set in a cop setting does not mean they are praising anything?? please don’t diss an genuinely funny, good show so quickly because of that. it’s not perfect but it’s trying so much more than anything else on tv right now.

It should also be noted that outside of the squad itself, there are many, many policy officers that are depicted as corrupt, racist, and otherwise not at all praised or glorified. Both narratively and explicitly through character dialogue, the world of the police force that the characters exist in is criticized and challenged – not romanticized. And the point of the show, at the end of the day, is not the great acts of heroism these cops do. It’s about the deeper bonds between the characters and their completely zany quirks; cop stuff is just like, On The Side. So idk just … i completely understand aversion to any cop rhetoric in media that isn’t obviously negative, but maybe before you write off b99 as inherently disgusting or condescend any of its viewers who dare to praise it, maybe actually become familiar with the show itself?

this is important and also just to add on, this is one very small squad (one captain, one sergeant, and like 6 detectives) in one precinct, in one city in the us. it’s known by the characters that, by and large, cops are not like them, and they kind of acknowledge that while they can’t change that, they can themselves be “good cops”. notice how they hate the vulture and wuntch who are portrayed as bad people but also seen as being the kind of cops/captains that the 99 squad wants nothing to do with. notice how in coral palms the cop they run into is all the negative stereotypes of a cop and it truly bothers jake and holt. they know they are not the standard and the show, i think, makes that very clear.

It’s a pretty good visualization of ‘not all cops are bad, but the police system is corrupt’

America is about to be that part in the lion king where where pride rock became all shitty bc Scar became king

have yet to see a better analogy

Are you implying Hilary Clinton’s daughter will assassinate Donald Trump because I’m okay with this

Actually, if we follow the narrative, I think it would be the Obama daughters. Which would be even MORE awesome.

Malia’s gonna fight Trump on the roof of the Whitehouse while it’s on fire.

i have some issues with my past self but she was young and i forgive her my real beef is with present me what is she doing im embarrassed to even look
