I love how Ray Holt is portrayed simultaneously as a serious, emotionless captain as well as the most dramatic and petty person on the whole team. I live for his deadpan dramatic-ness and I’ve honestly never seen a character like him before on TV

Don’t forget that Kevin and his friends also think he’s the funniest motherfucker on the planet.

Gina: Haha, hey do you guys dare me to kiss Rosa?

Jake: No?

Gina: [shakes head and chuckles] I can’t believe you’re making me do this.

Amy: We’re not.

Gina: [leaning in to kiss Rosa] This is so wild you guys, you’re so messed up for making me do this.

zimmermanns:

me thinking about how jake peralta has been heavily bi-coded since season 1 but because he and amy are getting married and bnn already confirmed rosa as bisexual there is an extremely low probability of this ever being addressed and therefore in canon, this significant setup implies he will be trapped in the closet as an overzealous questioning “ally” apologizing for “straightsplaining” even though he has expressed romantic/sexual interest in men and had an entire emotional coming out speech ready to go (implying significant premeditation that he ultimately decided was not worth it because he found the woman of his dreams so he shafted an entire section of his identity):

tiny brain: brooklyn nine nine isnt cop propaganda

average brain: brooklyn nine nine IS cop propaganda and that means u cant watch it

giant brain: brooklyn nine nine is absolutely cop propaganda and 1 episode about the treatment of black people by cops in no way fixes that, however i still watch and enjoy it because i am a mature person with critical thinking skills who understands that boycotting every problematic piece of media is a fruitless endeavor. especially because boycotting b99 specifically would mean sacrificing the many other great things it brings to tv, including its humor, its diversity, its strong & well-rounded female characters, its presentation of healthy friendships & relationships, its subversion of harmful stereotypes, and its constant social commentary on political issues such as transphobia, gun control, flaws in the prison system etc which other shows wouldnt DARE touch

galaxy brain: BOOOooooOOoooNE!!

Interdimensional Brain: B99 has had plots and subplots about the problems with the police as an institution since it started. The episode that was specifically about racial profiling wasn’t anything new for the show, which has consistently featured “good guys who are cops” as its protagonists instead of a simplistic “cops are the good guys” narrative, making it very much not propaganda. It isn’t “cop propaganda” any more than The Office is “capitalist propaganda” or Parks and Recreation is “state propaganda.” Let’s realize that a workplace comedy being set in an institution you disagree with doesn’t make it propaganda.
