#virtual systems analysis

i've been autistic my whole life, i've even known i was autistic for several years but i have never, ever in all that time felt as seen and understood as "it's a metaphorical locker, it's a place where people like me get put when everyone's finally fes up with us." "i've run the simulations, annie. i don't get married,"

the writers of virtual systems analysis really gave us “not stupid. just less able to see what i see,” and “this time you’ll never get out,” and “we’re inside a locker. it’s where i spent a lot of time in junior high,” and “it’s a place where people like me get put when everyone else is finally fed up with us,” and “we’re just in love with the idea of being loved,” and “you’re afraid you don’t fit in, you’re afraid you’ll be alone. great news, you share that with all of us. so you’ll never be alone and you’ll always fit in,” and more all within the span of a few minutes and expected me to just go about my life as normal afterwards

oi theh govnuh.. quantum spammuh… up an’ attem innit’…

The fact that Abed used to spend eighteen hours a week using the dreamatorium to try and predict what might happen in his future particularly with his friends though. Like bestie that's not logic and objective observation that's a clinically significant level of anxiety resulting from past experiences of repeated rejection. The dreamatorium's engine is a goddamn rumination machine

Virtual Systems Analysis really is the greatest episode of all time. It's got heavy Troy queercoding (Troy calling Annie to check up on Troy. Abed's Troy impression admitting he's basically attracted to Clive Owen). It's got Annie's "we're in love with the idea of being loved" speech. It's got the most heartbreaking and life changing scene in all of human history "It's a metaphorical locker. It's a place where people like me get put when everyone's finally fed up with us". It's got "You're afraid you don't fit in. Good news, you share that with all of us. That means you'll never be alone". It's a tad too relatable. It's got the ability to break my heart and then put it back together. Episode of all time
