Parks And Recreation - Blog Posts
I’ve decided I’m only going to answer my dads texts with pictures of Ben Wyatt
another Parks and rec/DBZ crosover just for valentine’s day!
also goku seems like the kind of husband who would awkwardly giggle like a teenager every time it’s mentioned his wife loves him even 30 years into their marriage
I hate feelings
I've been sorta dating this guys for how weeks and recently (today) we began to talk about tv and he said he's watched Sherlock my favorite show...
Let's go!!!
Parks and rec intro gives off The Sims build mode vibe am I right?
I need Ben Wyatt religiously right now
Who broke animus magic?
A while ago I saw a little animatic on YouTube with a similar concept, but it was made with the WoF Roblox game. I said “it would be cool if this were animated” then I said “hey I should animate it” so I did
Tumblr only lets me add a certain number of images onto a post, so consider this part one!
Apologies the lineart is messy, I don’t really know what happened 🤔
Leslie Knope is my favorite person & one day I want to have her passion & her drive & all that shit
Tedros: "I love you so much."
Agatha: "I love you too."
Tedros: "This is real."
Agatha: "I know."
Tedros: "You're my wife."
Agatha: "You're my husband."
Tedros: "You married me in front of people."
Agatha: "I did. I was there."
This episode has no business being this funny
"I don't need a friend like Leslie Knope, I want to be a friend like Leslie Knope."
It is the oldest lighthouse in the United States, which is more than 250 years old. It was built in 1764 and is still in use.
You know an interaction I’d love to see that will never happen?
Chris Traeger and The Tick
I just feel like they’d clash together pretty well and Chris would teach Tick about the healthy things he could eat. He’d probably listen to the Blue Yonder talk about Arthur and they’d share stories about their friends.
And Tick would totally catch on to the last name thing and try it on everybody he knew had a last name

Henley Monday -
Something about ComicCon is so exhausting even from thousands of miles away. It feels like every day there are at least three things over which to completely lose your mind in excitement and awe. But I love it. But I'm pooped.
So let's all just take a few moments of peace and stillness together as we behold the majestic beauty that is this still of Chris Pratt in the upcoming JURASSIC WORLD. He is getting hotter by the second and won't stop wearing henleys, being adorable, and french braiding girls' hair. I can't wait to see him back as Andy Dwyer on the last season of PARKS & REC coming up too. And even sooner in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.
Chris Pratt, you on fire, boy!
Henley Monday -
It's still ungodly cold in much of the northern United States, and now more than ever we need men in henleys to warm us right up. Enter the fourth man named Chris to be presented as the weekly Henley Monday: Chris Pratt.
This is him last week at the Parks & Recreation PaleyFest panel. He....has gone through quite the transformation for his upcoming role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. It's pretty special. I mean, come on THAT FACE. That ADORABLE man. His character on Parks has always been one of my favorites and now that he looks like this, I might just be in full blown love.
Keep it up, Chris Pratt! We love you!

Happy day after Cinco de Mayo everyone! I bet when you woke up today you did not regret one single decision you made yesterday and felt like not just one million, but FIVE million bucks!
Haha, jk guys, I know you're all totes hungover and full of shame and regret for participating in a vaguely racist, meaningless holiday that serves as an excuse to binge drink.
Rergardless of your actions yesterday, you're stuck in a Monday now. A Monday that seems to drag on and on, and so here is Garrett Hedlund looking FOINE as Tom Haverford of Parks&Rec might say. His eyes, that hair, the suede on that jacket over a simple grey henley make Hedlund one very sweet sight for some very sore eyes.
Que se sientan mejor de pronto, mis amigos queridos.
Henley Monday -
Yesterday was MLK Day and many of you had the day off to relax and reflect on the accomplishments of that great man and maybe watch some inaugural ceremony. Today is different though. Today is the Monday of your shortened week and sad, post-long weekend heart.
Worry not. I know how rough it is to get through shortened weeks sometimes. Sometimes they can feel the very longest of all, but Adam Scott is here to just listen. His cute, tiny face will stare directly and serenly at yours as you tell him the troubles of your work week.
This guy. He gets it. He knows how to be a man in a sweet, cozy henley and be a man who can support you. That's my kind of guy.
Tribute Time: Parks and Recreation
I know you've all been dying for me to speak in more hyperbolic terms. So here you go: The greatest show on television right now is not Game of Thrones or Mad Men or even Modern Family. Though, holy crap, I love those shows.
No, the greatest show on TV is Parks and Recreation. In a vast sea of ensemble mocumentary shows, this one stands out because it's populated with the most likable group of characters in the most likable fictional small town of Pawnee, Indiana. It is an unabashedly happy show without being saccharine or twee.
If you aren't watching it, you should be. It will do nothing but bring you happiness. If you haven't given yourself this great gift, or you'd like to compare your list to mine, I bring you my top five favorite episodes of the show:
Season 3; Episode 13 "The Fight" - Things get a little heated while everyone's at the Snakehole Lounge pimping Tom's latest business venture Snake Juice.
Season 4; Episode 6 "The Treaty" - A Model UN conference sets off Ben and Leslie, bringing their internal conflict very, very external.
Season 3; Episode 5 "Media Blitz" To promote the upcoming Harvest Festival (also a great episode) Ben and Leslie set out to talk to local Pawnee media giants, and it turns out Ben is a little camera shy.
Season 3; Episode 2 "Flu Season" A pretty violent strain of flu sweeps through Pawnee and manages to take down even its strongest citizens. Chris (Rob Lowe) is really the star of this one.
Season 2; Episode 9 "The Camel" The whole department sets out to submit a mural, but butt heads when everyone has their own, very personal, idea. It showcases each character perfectly.
As a general post-script, this great show is also home to the greatest character ever written for film and television: Jean-Ralphio Saperstein.
Tribute Time: 90s Foof Hair
Men in the 90s had the best hair. It was full and wavy and reminiscent of the hair of the Greatest Generation only less stiff and motionless. Before faux-hawks, before the Bieber, only slightly before frosted tips and spikes, these are some of the best examples of luxurious and sexy 90s foof hair.
I, personally, love Bill Pullman. I know a lot of women who find him creepy and weird, and I think this is because their entire point of reference is him as Ghost Dad in Casper which is unfair. Look at how pensive he is here in "While You Were Sleeping"! He's captivated by a smart woman's charm and beauty.
The bookends of this picture are prime specimens. Sean Hunter (Rider Strong) was a ladies man from the start, and from the start they attributed it to his wavy, shiny locks. He had a 2 mile radius of lady-slaying with a single run-through. But let's not neglect Eric Matthews (Will Friedle). Before he was the lovable, brain-dead goof, he too was quite the ladies man, and it was 100% because of those long and shiny strands framing his darling face.
I could do an entire tribute post to the life's work of Michael J. Fox. He's an objectively incredible guy. Also objectively incredible, his hair here from a promo-shot for his 90s sitcom Spin City. Man, even when he's put together, he's adorable and flopsy.
Steve from Full House. We already loved him for being the sweet, fun-loving, always eating boyfriend to DJ Tanner, but then he voiced Aladdin who is arguably the hottest Disney prince. The slight wave to his hair gives him considerable, dashing volume, no? (When searching for his image, a comparison shot of him to Steve Holt [STEVE HOLT! \o/] came up, which is...pretty spot on.)
And, of course, the best for last:
That is Adam Scott 20 years ago as "new bully in town" Griff on Boy Meets World, and him again as Ben Wyatt from an episode last season on Parks & Recreation.
He is magnificent. Stay gold, Adam, stay gold.
Dreaming of Parks and Rec
It’s Anne Perkins wedding and we’re at a grocery store to pick out something for her fiancés bachelor party when we find out that he cheated on her. This is the same moment when I realize that I’m still in love with her. Leslie is super excited for the wedding because she doesn’t know anything and starts dragging me towards the bathroom but I tell her she has to let me go since I can’t go in the girls bathroom. I go over and all the guys are showing Anne that we picked out fish for the party and I’m super depressed so it just comes out as “yeah, fish”. I leave them and go to the men’s room where every stall is taken by guys standing up on the top of the walls and peeing down into the toilet. Ron gets down from doing that and I start to take his stall but he tells me he has to poop too. I start to pee at a urinal and a guy on top on a stall says “geez can’t anyone stand anymore?” And I reply with “geez can’t anyone sit anymore?”. So I’m having trouble peeing and then all of the sudden several of the guys at the urinals and I get peed on. We all start freaking out and I go over to the sink and start splashing myself with water and saying fuck as I try to dry off with a towel. Then all the emotions start coming out and I shout fuck and throw the towel right as this dad and baby walk past. The dad gives me a dirty look and I start apologizing. I pick up the towel and lean against the hand dryers. Just then Mark Brandanawitz steps out from behind a ring of sinks with Anne. She’s also soaked and holding back tears. I know she knows about her fiancé and I start to have trouble holding back the tears because I love her so much but she thinks it’s because I feel bad about her fiancé. Then she walks forward and we hug really tightly and both burst out crying.
That was a dream I had few months ago that was so vivid and emotional I woke up just short of being in tears. I wrote down everything I could remember and even now I can remember just how I felt waking up that night.
Pour one out for Ron Swanson, stuck in 94 meetings today.
