“Brooklyn Nine-Nine manages to address gay rights thoughtfully with little fanfare. Other mainstream shows strike a self-congratulatory tone when taking on gay issues.” (source)
“While Nine-Nine’s inclusion of a gay man of color who’s over 50 (Holt’s age is not directly mentioned, but Braugher is currently 51) as a lead on a prime-time comedy would be enough to pique our interest, the show actively combats the homophobia that has become standard fare in buddy-cop comedies.” (source)
what if during halloween 5 jake tells holt and gina that he plans on distracting amy with the heist so he can propose that night so they all seem to be fighting against each other when in actuality they’re helping jake and then at the end amy thinks she wins but then jake gets down on one knee and proposes and he goes through the whole explanation of how he pulled it off like every year except this time it’s how he fell in love with her and everyone cries

this is his son – he literally thinks of jake as a son. and that son, whom he’s mentored and nurtured for four full seasons, through defiance over ties and even a stint in witness protection, has been unfairly convicted of a crime holt *knows* he didn’t commit because he was trying to help him make the bust. now that son, a damn good cop according to everyone who knows him, is going to prison. his prize mentee is in love with his son, and they’ve just been sentenced to a 15 year separation. and holt has to watch, knowing that the police system he fought to make better is still deeply flawed and having to come to terms with the fact that as a cop, he just couldn’t do enough to stop this.
anyways come find me dead on the floor
