wait, which Farscape joke?

[fahrbotdrusilla]

I'm guessing the one where the guy he was talking to all night was like "DO YOU WANT TO HAVE GAY SEX WITH ME" and Abed was just like "No, I just really like talking about Farscape"

[rivia]

oh, i thought there was another one that related to the unrequited troy feelings differently, heh. time to go to bed for me then i guess.

[fahrbotdrusilla]

I haven't seen the episode since I marathoned the show, but I think it was implied Abed knew he was trying to pick him up the whole time and kept talking to him anyway.

[rivia]

yeah, abed actually said he knew that he was being hit on but wasn't interested in the guy as much as he is in farscape. i just didn't relate that to the actual secret at first so i thought there was another reference i was missing. like i said, sleep deprivation :v

[(Anonymous)]

Even if your headcanon was correct, that wouldn't make Abed cruel to Troy or to the Farscape guy. If you know that someone wants to have sex with you and you don't want to have sex with them your options are not: a. have sex with them or b. shut down everything. To say that this is the case makes you sound like one of those people who goes on a date with you, and then says "then what was the point of talking to you all night?" when they find out you don't plan to have sex with them by the end of the evening.

[anonymouslyyours]

There is a middle ground. I think the OP is implying they think Abed is intentionally leading Troy on because he thinks that's how to keep Troy as a friend instead of being honest, the way he sort of (by omission at least) lead on SG1 guy because he wanted to talk about Farscape. Or something.

[(Anonymous)]

Right, I have now rewatched the episode. The guy comes up to Abed, and while they are talking tries to persuade him to drink faster. Abed just talks throughout with the usual enthusiasm of Abed talking about sci-fi. Once the conversation takes a turn for the straightforward, Abed says that after a while he did realise that the guy was hitting on him. But he likes talking about Farscape. Then the guy throws a drink in his face and walks away.

Yeah, Abed was the dick in that scenario. He didn't "lead on" the guy; he didn't encourage him at all. Talking to someone whom you know wants sex with you doesn't constitute "leading someone on". Do you think that Abed should have said, "Oh, I just understood why you wanted to talk to me! I won't be having sex with you tonight"?

[anonymouslyyours]

Oh that guy was definitely a dick. But I don't think it's cool to take advantage of someone expressing interest in you to get something you want. I don't see what's wrong with telling someone you aren't interested but you're still interested in nerding out with them.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a hard time getting worked up about it when the desire is "to talk about sci-fi", and when that was the exact schtick the guy was using to chat Abed up. Abed's not perfect but I hardly think he's the one in the wrong here.

(And this is my bitterness rather than Abed's, but the response to "I'd like to continue talking to you but I don't want to have sex with you" is almost inevitably an end to the conversation.)

[biohazardgirl]

After careful consideration I'd have to agree to ayrt. The guy who chatted up Abed didn't start by hitting on him really, he started by talking to Abed about Farscape. The show implies that it was selfish of Abed to keep talking about Farscape with this guy who really just wants to have sex with him, because Abed really doesn't want to and is thus 'leading him on' in favor of allowing the man to move on to a different person to pick up.

But if you stop to think about it, is that really selfish? He didn't start talking to Abed by telling Abed he was cute or something, he chatted up Abed about one of Abed's favorite tv shows and bought him a drink. And Abed makes it apparent later that it wasn't even obvious to him at first that the guy was hitting on him. By the time Abed had figured it out, he was just having such a nice time talking about Farscape that he didn't want to end it by being blunt and saying 'this has been really enjoyable but I'm not going home with you at the end of the night.'

The fact is, Abed realized that expressing disinterest would definitely end an awesome conversation, and Abed doesn't have that many people in his life that could have that type of conversation with him.

[(Anonymous)]

That is sad. I'm glad my love for my bed is completely requited.

[(Anonymous)]

how do you know it's requited when your bed can't communicate with you?

you're just a filthy bed rapist

[(Anonymous)]

You've obviously never woken up with the sheets all tangled around you when you KNOW they were in another position when you went to sleep. The bed's trying to hug you back! Or consume you. Either way, it is very much interested in you. If anyone's the rapist here, it's your lustful dog who just can't stop humping all the furniture. I hope he doesn't spread wood-herpes to his victims or aything like that. Otherwise your living situation gets... interesting, to say the least.

[biohazardgirl]

I love you.

[anonymouslyyours]

Oh Pierce.

[biohazardgirl]

<3

[biohazardgirl]

I might've bought this in season 2, but by season 3 Abed spends a whole episode being jealous of the fact that Troy is on a date. Shipper tinhatting a bit here, but unrequited my ass.

But then I write requited Trobed so I'm definitely biased.

[anonymouslyyours]

Being a rabid shipper while having rational discussions about the characters in your ship is hard, yo. I have to keep reminding myself I can't tell if the call is coming from inside the tinhat.

i am not a spammer

[anonymouslyyours]

Well that episode doesn't necessarily kill OP's headcanon. Being jealous of the date doesn't have to mean Abed wants to date him, just that he wants Troy's attention to himself.
Which would fit.

I know which explanation I prefer though. :D

Re: i am not a spammer

[biohazardgirl]

Oh I don't mean that OP is necessarily wrong, I just mean that I personally don't see it :D But that's cool.

[cherrycoloured.livejournal.com]

I have trouble imagining how people watch Community and don't think that Troy's at least a little in love with Abed. My headcanon is that they are a couple, but yours totally makes sense to me too.

[biohazardgirl]

My headcanon is also that they are a couple but then.

Troy/Britta.

But then anonymouslyyours and I are of the idea that Competitive Wine Tasting and Origins of Vampire Mythology are just nightmares that Britta had while she was sleeping off being really high, so that takes care of most of that.

[sagomudsalad]

100% agreed - that has always been my interpretation of their relationship. I've been the crush-er in a friendship a lot like theirs, and how Donald plays it looks very familiar to me.

I've never looked at the Farscape conversation through that lens before, though. Oof.
