Chapter 9 of The Gang Gets Severed is out now!! It's inspired by one of my favourite Sunny episodes, Chardee Macdennis!! I had a lot of fun with this one. Maybe a bit too much fun, since it's 5,2k words long :DDD I got carried away, I just had too many fun ideas and I wanted to do them all afgdgusbdu,,,, I promise the next chapters won't be as long haha :DD

Some cut dialogue and character directions from the nightman cometh script that just speak to me
CANON ITS CANON THATS CANON BLOOPERS COUNT TOO ITS CANON NO TAKE BACKS 🔫
mac's love for dogs, who are seen as companions and often deemed "a man's best friend", contrasting his parents' physical and emotional absences in his childhood vs. charlie's love for cats, who are typically solitary creatures, contrasting bonnie's overbearing parenting that suffocated him.
"If you believe it to be real, then it’s real."
(Dennis, Mac and reality)
FX when I get my hands on you ...
images that haunt me because they imply frank's brother was a better episode at one point
villain origin story
can’t justify anymore time on this but i love my babies
hey. hello. why is glenn howerton's script writing debut literally just charmacden softcore
so mac was known as ronnie the rat in high school and in "Mac Kills His Dad" even his parents know him to be a rat and specifically tell him NOT to be one. what if it was mac who ratted out his dad, not even on purpose just by saying the wrong thing and never knowing when to shut up, and that's why luther got sent to prison. and that's what ruined his relationship with his parents forever (not that it was a loving healthy relationship to begin with but from the christmas episode we know it had its nice moments that mac latches on to as proof that his parents love him). anyways that's just a theory #mytheories
after mac comes out he starts watching rupaul's drag race cause he's a gay man and gay men like drag but very quickly he realizes he's not interested (he was into the pit crew tho) so he stops but dennis who had been lowkey watching whenever it was on screen WAS into it so he starts watching it by himself and that's how you get dennis yelling at the screen during the lip synchs for your life cause the queen he's supporting isn't serving enough cunt
Chapter 8 of The Gang Gets Severed is out now!! Go read it!!! It's called Charlie Gets in Trouble!!! Oooooo I wonder what that's about huh?
I had a tough time with this one for some reason but it's finally out I'm so gladdd. It's also currently the longest chapter with 4k words haha :DD I got a little excited sorryyy
Here's the link!!!

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:
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!
Dennis is funny because Macs tried to heal a relationship outside the gang (his dad) but it failed immediately (rejected, unfair) and Charlie's done it too, even planned to leave, but also failed straight away (loser father up and died on him) and Frank doesn't want to leave, and Dee is not permitted to leave (not even to go bowling! they need their punch bag!) but Dennis has actually been out there. He's gone and tried it. He invested in a life outside of Paddy's Pub, he left and tried to go be a dad, be a better person than Frank was, and... it did not fuckin work! Couldn't do it. Came crawling right back after being gone for months. Which means he's the only one out of all of them that knows for sure there's nowhere else to go. None of the rest have really tested it—it's just a pipe dream for them—they can imagine it however they want! And that's a pretty useful psychological pressure valve. Their own places in the gang are inherently lower stakes for them because they can still believe if it all falls apart they'd figure something out, they got plenty of other options, definitely. They may worry there's nowhere else for them, sure, but you know what you can do with a worry? Move past it. Except for Dennis. Who knows he can't afford to rock the boat, or deviate too much from his assigned role, i.e. still very much the "leader" of the Freight Train, still their new psycho, even if he is a little mellowed with age. So he left because he wanted to quit all the delusional bullshit, wanted to try something real. Then found out "real" didn't want him in it. And came back to the gang, and for a little while he tried to make a change: The Gang Escapes, "let's keep this between us"; Times Up, "I don't want you kissing me" + [extensive instructions in how to not get caught]; Even up to New Wheels he's trying something new, til he embarrasses himself in front of Frank. Til fate hands him his old car back. And if reality don't want you, you're not gonna say no to fate, are you. At least he's got a place in the world. At least somebody wants him around, some kinda way. It's good actually. Who cares if it's not who he really is. He knows there's nothing else out there. The others don't, but he does. So he can keep his secrets, play his part, don't dwell on it, it's cool. It's whatever. After all it's not like you can just "move past" reality, can you. Can you?
hug the homies goodnight. maybe even a smooch
i’m not saying this is healthy or good, but i do think there’s something comforting to mac about having someone like dennis in his life who “hates him” and still talks to him, lives with him, shares a bed with him, etc. it’s so unlike his parents who mostly just ignore him no matter what he does
The greatest proof of Macdennis canon isn't all the psychosexual shit the two of them have going on, but the fact that Dee and Mac's relationship is best characterised as "siblings-in-law"
thinking about the gangs social media usernames and this is what i've come up with.
dennis – @/thegoldengod of COURSE.
dee – @/jokesondee. she just like. cannot let it go. maybe one day her comedy will get rlly popular and this username will make sense to normal people... but probably not.
mac – either @/macmcdonald or something absolutely ridiculous like @/badass.ass.kicker. but his first username was @/jesusjackedme. he had to change it because dennis was like, "dude, this sounds like ur saying jesus jacked u off!" "no dude! thats disgusting! jesus jacked me UP, spiritually, physically and mentally!"
charlie – charlie doesn't use social media. he can't read or write much less TYPE and its just overall too confusing. however the gang tried to set something up for him and just asked him what username he wanted. he picked @/nightmancometh and never used his accounts a single time.
frank – @/richdaddy69. he bought this username. he also pays for verification!

New Macdennis fic, yippee!! It’s a little fan episode afcdibiebe I had a lot of fun with this one <3. I love writing in script format, it almost feels more intuitive than normal prose. I really wanna be a screenwriter someday. But for now, I have to put my talents into making toxic yaoi fanfiction :D.
