it's me, i'm people
[screencaps and dialogue taken from the original Sunny pilot. Crazy that the nature of Mac and Dennis' relationship was already coming into question before the show even existed.]
he is never beating the babygirl allegations
Boy math is when you've been your roommate's boyfriend on three separate occasions, but you were a different persona each time, so you've never dated him and definitely don't have feelings for him
hmm.... hand placement......

In all honestly, my ideal ending for iasip is a simple one. The gang would play Chardee Macdennis one last time, bringing back a beloved concept with lots of references to the show brought up in the trivia portion. It'd be fun and light. It'd give us one last glimpse into these characters' dynamics, playing a game they invented in their 20s now in their 50s. Still a gang, still together, in the bar of Paddy's on a slow day, passing the time with a game they invented out of boredom.
Maybe they'd invite some old friends to form new teams. Maybe we'd see Cricket, the Lawyer, the Waitress, the Waiter, the McPoyles, Artemis, Ponderosa, and Gail the Snail all join in on the fun. Surprisingly, everyone shows, probably because they have nothing better to do. Maybe Frank and Pondy would form a team. The Waitress, Artemis, and Gail would group up, bringing the Fridge-It Bitches back. Maybe we would finally learn the Waitress' name. We'd get to see each member of the gang at their best, deranged, manipulative, and evil as always. Charlie would probably fail a task because the Waitress made him nervous. Cricket would join forces with the McPoyles because they're the only ones not disgusted by Cricket. Their group would be really good at the pain and endurance portion. The Lawyer and the Waiter would form a team, bonding over the years of strife the gang had caused them. They would grow very frustrated at not understanding the rules of the game. They're the only group that is normal enough to find the whole thing preposterous, but for some reason they see it through.
The episode would wrap with Mac and Charlie finally beating Dennis and Dee after losing to them for 30 years. We'd close on the pair stomping on Dennis and Dee's dolls, victorious at last. Dennis and Dee would be sore losers, complaining that Mac and Charlie must have cheated. Frank would be celebrating with Mac and Charlie, telling them he was proud of them. Mac and Charlie would realize that perhaps Frank really had become a father figure to them. They would allow Frank to smash Dennis and Dee's dolls with them and Frank would be over the moon. We would pan out, through the front door of Paddy's, still able to hear the gang rejoicing and bickering, only now from a distance. The last thing we would see is Paddy's sign, old and decrepit as ever, never to change, as the gang's arguing begins to fade out, transitioning into the final end credit theme.
u think we’re gonna get the pod back soon.. not that i’m like fiending for it or something it’s not like i need it to survive haha i’m .. i’m just wondering
its so funny how when in 5x01 mac tried to dress gay to pretend to be a couple with dennis so he shows up wearing this gay ass outfit
and its just the way that dennis actually dresses
it's always sunny in philadelphia is no way an underground indie show but feels like it. feels too niche to be mainstream. too unpacked. so many little moments that worth a life in the eyes of a couple of dozens of queer people. love and hate's flirty blur, the narrative of not suffering alone but with the only family that accepts you, understanding that it is a curse to be this codependent but knowing it's the only thing worth seizing, homoeroticism lurking behind every single character's relationship with each other. how did this show survive till now. a beautiful cockroach smoking a cigarette in her ruin balcony watching the flames grow bigger
this shit was gayer than if they actually had sex
"charmac this, charden that." i'm waiting for charlie to get with the lawyer
charlie copying mac
perhaps the real macdennis canon was the friends we made along the way
i'll never get over dennis' hand placement here
they are so afraid to commit anymore.....dee moving in with charlie and frank couldve been such a romp
Probably been said before but what if dennis did use Johnny to get Mac out of the apartment because that was when he was bringing home the guys he had gotten with the S.I.N.N.E.D. system and he knew Mac would be weird about it so he sends him to the motel until he’s done his thing, but also discreetly picks up his phone because using the beads during that time maybe gives him the illusion that when he’s having sex with some other faceless nameless guy he’s actually having sex with Mac but he can’t *actually* have sex with Mac because what if that messes up the delicate balance they currently have, or what if it’s then suddenly too real, all these random people you know it doesn’t mean anything, anyone can get a guy to bang them once, but with Mac it would mean something, something he’s not quite ready to face, something they’re both maybe not ready to face, because Mac’s moved on and Dennis is just catching up, so he hides behind Johnny and the beads, and when the truth comes out, Mac hides behind them just as much because the connection they have through the phone, through the app, it’s safe, for both Mac and Dennis, who’ve never had a genuine relationship, who are afraid to take the leap into one, but it’s still not real and at the end of Frank vs. Russia and continuing through to Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day, Dennis starts to realize he wants it to be... he wants a real connection, he wants to take that leap because he knows Mac will be there to catch him if he falls, but then Mac’s not. Two ships passing in the night or whatever.
"you're right, dude, we don't need dads. we're gonna be fine."

Thinking about the way Mac misremembers Dennis leaving. In his own mind, he wishes he left with Dennis, but in reality he didn't. He let Dennis walk away and out of his life. He didn't chase after Dennis, but he wishes he did.
A theory for why Dennis acts different towards Mac after returning from North Dakota is that Dennis is resentful towards Mac for this very reason. Mac let him walk away. He had always thought Mac would be there by his side, to catch him when he faltered, but Mac had failed him. Dennis was waiting for someone to chase him, and it should have been Mac, but Mac didn't. Mac didn't even bat an eye. Mac let Dennis slip away, and this is something he will never forget.
When Dennis was away, he never checked in with Mac. We know he gave Mac a fake number, so Mac couldn't contact him, but Dennis has Mac's number memorized. He could've called Mac, but he never did. Maybe he was avoiding Mac. Maybe he didn't want to show that he cared for Mac when, in his mind, Mac didn't care about him.
I wonder if Mac is aware of this. I wonder if this is why Mac wishes he had chased after Dennis. I wonder if Mac remembers that night this way because it's what he so badly wishes had happened. He wishes he had followed Dennis, but he didn't.
Maybe he thinks Dennis would love him if he had.
i need them to bring back brian jr just so i can watch him kneecap dennis
