#someone replied to that post saying that jeff winger is the ‘lead’ #here’s a really crucial distinction/definition: jeff winger is a lead deconstruction #jeff winger is what the ‘lead’ would be like in real life #because that character archetype would actually need to be a anxiety-riddled manic insecure mess #in order to function at at that level of careful narcissism all of the time #because when jeff winger says ‘if crazy people can’t be at greendale’ he says ‘where else are WE supposed to go’ #jeff winger knows he’s crazy because he’s learnt to be brilliant at the things he’s brilliant BECAUSE he’s crazy #jeff winger KNOWS he’s a mess #jeff winger is jeff winger AS A CONSEQUENCE OF BEING A COMPLETE AMORAL HYPER-MANIC MESS #and it matters that jeff winger is on my television because of two entirely interlinked things: #jeff winger starts taking psychiatric medication and is honest about it to his friends #but it also doesn’t change the fundamentals of who he is! he’s still an amoral bastard #HE’S JUST AN AMORAL BASTARD ON BEHALF OF OTHER PEOPLE #he’s perf. from a character construction point tbh
So when the show ends, where are we all going to go?
