#soooo cuteš«š«
I spent entirely too long on this comic version of my super soft established relationship Macdennis fic
Turns out reconfiguring a written narrative to work as a comic was a challenging but interesting process!
Nerdy details under the cut!!!
1. Deeās āUseless Femmeā t-shirt is from Sapphic Southerner
2. Charlie has always given me Toynbee vibes so the ~classic Toynbee Tile seemed like an appropriate graphic tee for him lol
3. Mac needs to get into shonen anime and he would love Yu Yu Hakusho because itās literally the greatest anime of all time
4. Dennisā shirt in the last scene (actually Macās shirt) is from 12th St Gym, which was a fixture in the Gayborhood for years and years. Mac was totally going there out of ācuriosityā in the same way he was going to the Rainbow before he came out. Unfortunately 12th St closed right around the time Mac came out for good :(
5. (VIEW FULL SIZE!) Lots of little details in the bathroom cuz there needs to be clutter! Itās mostly Dennis-focused items, cuz the thinking here is this is Dennisā bathroom (cuz I subscribe to the belief that their apartment has two bathrooms)
A: Mid-2000s Phillies ticket
B: Charmacden at the bar :)
C: Literally a printout of this Aquaria Instagram post! I think drag would be a very healthy and constructive outlet for Dennis to explore, and I think Aquaria specifically is sort of an idealized version of what Dennis would want to look like in drag. (Also sheās originally from Philly!)
D: A Lamborghini Countach, ofc ;)
E: Cute lil Macdennis selfie
F: Lipsticks (stolen from Sephora)
G: A mug he stole from a Green Line Cafe and subsequently broke
H: An origami elephant that Mac made to demonstrate Finesse
I: Recently I learned that Rite Aid is Philly-based (although not exclusive to here) so those bandages are specifically store brand for additional local flavor lol
J: Lil figurine of Gobo from Fraggle Rock
K: Drugstore foundation (stolen from Rite Aid)
(I guess this version of Dennis shoplifts a lot?)

#macdennis #macanddennisbreakup
mac, who wants to get closer. dennis, who keeps moving away. yet dennis only retreats as far away as the chair here.
the way dennis winces after saying "maybe we ARE spending a little bit too much time together". but this is a moment of pain that dennis does not let mac in on. he doesn't want mac to see how much this hurts him to say. he wants to pretend like he's strong when he isn't.
the way dennis' face changes when he says "[i feel like i'm not...] flourishing" & shoots mac this gaze...
i think he's waiting for mac to fight back. to try to "save" their relationship. to prove that dee's wrong. to go "no, that's bullshit dennis, our relationship is so awesome and you know it!". but mac doesn't
look at how hurt dennis is by mac's defeat. he's thinking "really? you give up on me just like that? but i thought..."
"WAIT! ...don't do that"
look at how surprised mac is that dennis DOES try to stop this break-up from happening, that he finally touches him after moving away from him every time mac tried to get close on the couch
Itās the ājealous Dennisā arc weāre all craving, but the stupidest possible version of it.
