wish they kept this in during the suburbs montage
"...m'course I love you, dude."
ok mac...
it is so sickening to think about mac's desperation to be loved and how the neediness that radiates from him is ultimately what inhibits him from forming healthy relationships.. the gang is so tired of him constantly questioning his self-worth ("you guys like me, right?") that they've given up on giving him any attention whatsoever ("it's really a cry for [...] attention, [...] ignore those" / "treat it like a baby / "we don't like you either way"). he needs validation but seeks it in a manner that is so off-putting that nobody wants him around. he writers letters to chase utley. he visits his mom and dad, even though they never want to see him. he threatens suicide as a cry for help and is encouraged to follow through. self-worth is in the body, so why doesn't anyone care that he's been working out? he smothers his dog with affection but can't even get it to stay.
the beginning of the gang misses the boat is one of my favourites: mac is vibing to hollaback girl, frank and charlie are eating worms, dee has a fake mustache and pretends to be a captain and dennis is applying mascara and then he rides into the river
MAC AND FRANK BURNING THE SCHOOL DOWN? 😭

If I ever have a child I will accept them no matter what. If they're Gay, Trans, Neurodivergent, even if they want to convert to a different religion unless they're gonna be a protestant then I'm kicking them the fuck out!!!,!!!.!.!!.!
when it comes time for them, who do you guys think dennis, dee, mac, and charlie are putting in their wills… and to receive what….
sunny is my favourite show ever. it’s the worst thing i’ve ever watched. it’s woke. it’s problematic. the characters are completely irredeemable horrible people. the characters are multilayered and complex and misunderstood and even though they’re bad people they can still have good qualities and intentions. they’re evil and you shouldn’t ever relate to them otherwise there’s something wrong with you. every human has bad qualities and something wrong with them and its natural to see any part of yourself reflected in fictional characters. you shouldn’t sympathise with them. the characters have deliberately emotional moments in the show and trauma that deeply affected who they are which should make you feel sorry for them. macdennis is canon. macdennis isn’t canon. my interpretations of the show are delusional and completely off the mark of what the show actually is. i literally understand the show on such a deep level. its hilarious. its tragic. you’re crazy if you try to analyse the peepee poopoo show beyond surface level jokes. the show has a lot of details intended to be critically analysed. sunny is my entire personality. being into sunny goes against everything else about me as a person. i love rcg. i hate rcg. sunny ruined my life. sunny was once the only thing keeping me going. i hate sunny. i love sunny. etc etc etc
the greatest will-they-won't-they in television sitcom history. i guess.
My ability to make everything about my special interest (It's always sunny) should be studied frfr,,,, I could be watching literally anything and one of my first thoughts will be "how can I make this about Sunny?" asdsyhjuguguj,,, the blorbos will not leave me alone
Right now I'm writing a Sunny x Severance cross-over fanfic which started out as just a jokey silly idea, but has now evolved into a multi-chapter story with so many plotlines and details and references to both shows that it's sometimes hard to keep up :DD And I have so many more Sunny cross-over fic ideas after I'm done with this aafshffjggj the grind never stops,,,
Recently I also rewatched TGWDLM and I realised how similar Ted and Mac are to each other,,, they're both religious, they both do karate type moves, they both quote Borat and they're both assholes asdsyfhgh
I don't know what the point of this post is, I'm just haunted by the gang no matter how hard I try to get into other pieces of media adfdyfyghj,,, not that I'm complaining, of course :>
He makes me so ill,,, He just wants affection aaaaa!!! My evil blorbo come back to me meow.
macdennis - affection
if my trans guy friend ever pisses me off im telling him charlie day died
All of Charlie’s art in Dee Made a Smut film has always fascinated me. But today I want to focuses on a couple that really stood out to me and why I think they help teach the message of the episode.
This painting shows a woman with dirty blonde hair and a halo ripping out a man’s heart while he’s wearing The Boy footie pajamas from Nightman. I think when Charlie painted this, he intended it to be him and the Waitress—she ripped his heart out when she rejected him after his play but he still sees her as an angel.
But doesn’t it also kind of look like Dee and Dennis? Especially with the messy makeup on the woman, the way the man’s face looks like it can have facial hair or be clean shaven depending on how you look at it. In this scene where the painting is shown, Dee is confronting Dennis with his trauma, showing everyone his bloody ripped out heart and acting like she’s doing him a kindness (killing him while seeing herself as an angel). Also super interesting in hindsight when you consider that in DTAMHD Dennis fantasizes about eating a bloody heart to sooth himself, taking the trauma back into his own body in a sense.
Let’s look at some more.
A painting of dogs barking (at a human shape maybe? Hard to tell) and a rat covered in blood. To Charlie, I again think these are pretty straightforwardly about his life—he was illustrating Cricket’s dog orgy and the rats he bashes at Paddy’s.
But in the scene they’re framing Dennis, who is in the middle of trying to make excuses for the CSA he suffered. He’s trapped like a rat who’s being bashed, he wants to scream and howl like those dogs but he can’t. And the dog orgy is literally Cricket being assaulted by dogs and then playing it off casually so that’s also a pretty obvious parallel.
In this scene Dennis also explains that he thinks good art is just whatever the “right” people say is good art. Because he’s never been able to connect with his feelings due to his trauma, Dennis has always had a hard time connecting with art on a personal level (in sharp contrast to Frank, who sees himself in art depicting WWII so deeply he has an out of body experience). Like most things in life, Dennis only sees art for its social and commercial value, not as a way to feel connection. That’s why he’s so dismissive of all art that isn’t porn, because porn at least has an obvious tangible use. But even then, even then, when he tries to make “artistic” porn, his mind immediately (subconsciously) tries to express his trauma, using art to express his deepest wounds in a way he isn’t even aware of. And I think Dee sees that and tries to help him through her own interpretation of his art, continuing the metaphorical conversation he started, but she’s also petty, and bitter about him mocking her art at the beginning of the episode, so she does it in a way that’s vicious and public. Art can hurt you, make you think about things you don’t want to, and Dennis hates that. He doesn’t see the emotional connection he could make with Charlie’s art or Dee’s or even his own because he won’t let himself.
How Dennis was so averse to Mac touching him last season- “I don’t want you touching me at all” compared to this season. Amazing!
Mac trying to lift Dennis in Frank’s Pretty Woman vs Mac lifting Dennis now
