The Dennis Doll - Tumblr Posts
mac and new dennis
Cinematic parallels
Man, it would be *great* if always sunny parodies a parody movie (a very brady sequel) with the whole deal of mac carrying around his dennis doll.
Have them each in coordinating clothes as a direct tie to that scene - mac in floral yellow and white as jan with the doll, dee in purple with white shoes as marsha, and charlie in a blue striped shirt and brown pants maybe with the blue back pockets too as greg
They each even sort act the roles and move like these members of the gang in that scene
Dee and Charlie walk out of the bar as Mac trails behind shouting “Wait for us!” hauling his Dennis doll to catch up as the legs fall from its torso
Okay, is Charlie reacting like that to leaning down and sniffing The Dennis Doll while he and Frank are carrying it/him?
...have they stored something inside that you’d be able to smell?
another new promo!
oh my gosh so that is what we see in the trailer.
Hey cowards where’s my fic of Charlie eating dennis’ a
Stumbled upon what people are describing between Charlie and the dennis doll... in what context would Charlie be willing to do this...? I can’t wait hahaha
Without having seen the episode, I think the reason Charlie would want to deeply smell The Dennis Doll so much is that it had a strong, new plastic/chemical smell he likes and can try to get high off of
The hole that needs something dennis-shaped to fill it is the empty space by his side ;’(
thinking abt how mac and dennis slept in the same bed for years at dee’s apartment, and were so comfortable w it that mac didnt even question that it was gonna continue when they moved back into their apartment and even followed dennis to dee’s told the gang he had to sleep w dennis
I’ll admit it, this made me a little emotional
alright so i have a macdennis theory please everyone gather around and turn your phones on silent for the duration of my lecture
(s13 spoilers ahead)
it’s pretty obvious at this point that mac has Big Feelings for dennis so the biggest question now is whether dennis feels the same. everything between season 1 and 12 has been discussed already so i’m gonna focus on a very specific time frame instead, the last two minutes of season 13′s first episode
so dennis returns and the gang goes back to normal, he calls dee a bird and she’s visibly upset by it, then he asks if mac’s gained weight, which we saw earlier in the episode upsets mac. basically, dennis comes back and insults mac and dee. that’s nothing new, dennis has been a dick to these two for a long time, but this time it’s a clear focus in the short time he was present in the episode.
but why? why mac and dee? because he hates them, right? at least he says he does, but we know he doesn’t hate dee. in the gang broke dee, dennis is the only one not in on the joke and ends up chasing his sister down to say he loves her and begs her to stay. later in the gang goes to hell part 2 dennis tells dee he loves her again when he thinks they’re all about to die
so when dennis insults dee, he’s doing it to cover up that he holds familial love for her. a symptom of BPD is that a person will go to great lengths to avoid perceived rejection or abandonment, so dennis distances himself from his Big Feelings by minimizing them and insulting the people he loves because he’s already expecting rejection from them (something that actually happened both times he said he loved dee). it’s self-preservation
what about when he insults mac? it’s not reasonable that he’d expect rejection since mac is very clearly in love and dennis knows this. newsflash, asshole: BPD isn’t reasonable. actually, mac’s feelings make it worse. if dennis acknowledges them and his own feelings as well, there’s a chance that down the road mac would stop loving him. so instead of accepting his love, dennis rejects mac before mac gets the chance to reject him. this has already happened a few times on the show, most notably in flowers for charlie and PTSDee where he leads mac on to get the validation that those feelings are there but rejects them before anything can happen. again, it’s self-preservation
alright, so back to the last two minutes of season 13′s first episode. dennis returns and insults mac and dee. if this has happened so many times before, why is it meaningful now? because the first episode sets up storylines. clearly season 13 is gonna be different and will most likely delve deeper into the characters. for example, the camera focused on dee’s reaction after dennis called her a bird, showing how affected she was, and while she’s always been upset, the focus hasn’t been on that because it wasn’t going to be addressed.
regarding macdennis, a big focus of the episode was how badly mac had been coping compared to the others. the sex doll could’ve been a cardboard cutout, but it wasn’t because apparently it’s important for the audience to know that mac really wants to fuck dennis. the jokes go on too long and too consistently to be just jokes. so if there was a focus on mac’s feelings for dennis, and dennis insulting him along with dee, it’s not unreasonable to conclude that those feelings are gonna be addressed. why focus on them otherwise?
as a non-macdennis sidenote, i am so down to see dee standing up against the bird jokes and against dennis. something about dennis’ behavior is definitely gonna be addressed this season
anyway macdennis gonna kiss or i resign
