Got Bored And Started Imagining If Dennis Had Social Media

You know, since it's Pride Month (and also I miss them), I feel like reminding everyone how fucking important Ruby and Sapphire were.

The way they were both unambiguously conceived as queer characters and let the writers make an established character queer retroactively. The fact that as soon as they share the screen, they immediately show how in love they are, without any ambiguity to please the censors, and they do that almost every episode they're in.

How their relationship isn't always 100% perfect, and they do conflict and fall out, but make up in the end because they genuinely love each other. How they were allowed to be iconic parts of the show, not just through being the focus of two of its most famous songs (Stronger Than You and Here Comes A Thought) but also through the book version of The Answer.

The fact they got the first gay kiss...

...and the first gay wedding in the history of kid's TV.

The way their reception showed networks that yes, people do enjoy media with queer characters, and so they contributed to many other series with prominent LGBTQ characters getting greenlit.

I honestly don't think it's exaggerating to say they're among the most important queer characters in the history of fiction for all that. And people need to say it more, and demand stuff like them more.

they’re so cute someone shoot me please 😭💔

also, peep the drawn on tattoos on mac’s arms (charlie drew them) they’re so tuff 💪

Heyooo.. Interested in testing your Sunny episode knowledge? I made a quiz where you name the episode purely based on the last frame before it cuts to title:

sporcle.com

Name the Sunny Episode (Cut-to-title)

How many episodes can you correctly name based on the last shot before the episode cuts to title?

There's 65 pictures/answers and I tried to make it so they get harder as you go (but you can skip and come back, regardless). Give it a shot and lmk how you do (if this is too easy or too hard)

Keep in mind punctuation counts (colons and ampersands) and possessives align with how the actual titles read in-episode (i.e. Dennis' not Dennis's)! Imo IMDb is the fastest reference to use if you know the episode but are stumped on its legal name :)

i see so much toxic dennis content but can we talk about toxic mac. obviously mac’s trauma runs so deep and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being closeted but i’m just saying. imagine being in a 20 year long codependent, semi-sexual relationship with your roommate and after all that time he STILL refuses to admit he’s gay. he hates that part of himself so much. but the person he’s really denying is…. dennis! can’t imagine it feels good to build an entire life with someone just for them to call said ‘lifestyle’ a sin over and over again for years on end. that’s gotta sting a little bit! is all i’m saying!

One last edit before I go to icbiballtay and my life changes forever

i just think it’s so brilliant that the show about emotionally stunted codependent losers is also the longest running live action american sitcom.

i don’t think i’ll ever be able to articulate this fully but. they could have very easily made something short and cynical. something strictly satirical. something like veep, or arrested development, which, don’t get me wrong, are both shows i love, but they are shows where the audience just laughs at the main characters’ misery. and yeah, most of it is that. most of it is traumatized kids who aren’t kids anymore drinking themselves to death in a dive bar. but it’s also mac coming out to his dad after so many years of shame and dennis finally getting something for valentine’s day and dee telling a joke that actually lands and charlie alone in the rain until he isn’t and all of them walking off of that mountain together with their arms wrapped around each other. sometimes it’s that. but you only notice those brief, saccharine moments when you’ve been watching something long enough — living with something long enough — to do so, and suddenly you’re crying on the couch because dennis bought mac a dog even though dennis hates dogs. i would take something breathing, something with empathy over something bitingly satirical and efficient and short any day of the week.

there is probably nothing in that crate outside, but hey, let’s look in it anyway. there’s a stain on this wall and it looks like a miracle.

All my shit’s getting disqualified from monetisation on TikTok because the Brad’s of their universe hate me.

Uhhh.. so the Abbott teachers DO go to the bar???
