“guys, the way to make a man fall in love with you is to make him feel like you are are.. his mommy”

jeez dennis i wonder where you got that from what events in your life have brought you to this conclusion for your “foolproof” system

macdennis 🤝 romencken = canonically texting each other eggplant emojis and acting like it isnt explicit gay sexting

How can someone read this and Not think that they’re dating

“Our relationship” “I massage your pecks” “all this work for us” “so I can enjoy a smile on your face at the end of the day” macden is literally canon at this point Fr

So do we think Charlie made the meerkat hats, or did they buy them somewhere? The part where they show up at the zoo with them, plus the lack of visible branding, makes me think homemade.

if they find the weak one, they start pissin all over it

realizing on my ##### rewatch of The Gang Texts that in the end, Mac goes “im gonna do one from the heart im gonna do one from the heart” then sends this:

🥺👸👅

sunny cubby is coming together 😋 just need to figure out how I want to display the charms (from @triviamurderparty2 !! tysm for the stickers)

The Gang Texts. I don’t know why exactly but that episode makes me feel like my head is going to explode. I can’t stand miscommunication and I also don’t like when Dennis is written like he isn’t equally dependent on Mac. The ending is good but everything leading up to that makes my head hurt. Interested to hear your thoughts!! Especially if you disagree because I’d love to hear a more positive take on this ep.

That a very interesting take! Good news I do disagree with it lol. But as I said when I was rating fanfic tropes, I love miscommunication and think it’s extremely human so I’m sure that makes me like it more.

I love the Gang Texts! It’s fascinating to me that you interpret Dennis as being not very dependent on Mac in the ep when I see it the complete opposite way lol. The whole reason Dennis gets mad at Mac in the episode is because he’s convinced Mac purposefully sabotaged his chances to see the lion feeding (which he only missed because he left to go look for Mac because he wanted to be able to watch the feeding with him. Boyfriend behavior) because Dennis always thinks people are pushing his buttons on purpose. As Mac points out in his (amazing super shippy and hilarious) text messages to Dennis, Dennis is EXTREMELY dependent on Mac even after all these years (I still can’t get over that he has Mac regularly rub his pecs after a work out like. Talk about scenarios that make me feral to think about lol) and that’s the whole reason he gets so upset because he does rely on and trust Mac a lot so the idea of Mac doing something purposefully cruel to him (which lets be real Mac HAS done before) makes him legitimately sad which makes him angry. That’s why all it takes to calm him down is looking in Mac’s eyes because before when Mac was talking and texting it felt like manipulation to Dennis but seeing the love in his eyes makes Dennis realize Mac didn’t hurt him on purpose and idk I think it’s really beautiful! Big win for macdennis!

And I get why Dennis just refusing to read Mac’s text could be seen as annoying and going in circles, but to me it feels very in character like it feels like the exact kind of fight those two WOULD have, y’know? And the scene where they meet in the bathroom and Mac tries to make it up to Dennis with the petting zoo just makes Dennis think Mac is fucking with him, which again only hurts him more because he is so reliant on Mac and does trust him to make him happy most of the time. Also the sexual tension during the pissing scene is absolutely insane Mac looks down at Dennis’ dick and Dennis just bites his lip like if that guy hadn’t walked in they totally would have fucked (hence the “you guys grindin?” joke). The Gang Texts is just macdennis all the time just pure macden goodness. Even though they’re fighting most of the ep it’s such a couple fight and I love it.

Also Frank in this ep? Hilarious. I love him trying to fuck with the gorilla and ending up the one fucked with. I love that Charlie can understand Frank’s texts even though he can’t read because of their weird little bond. I love that Charlie is way better at texting than Mac in general because and not in spite of the fact that he’s illiterate. I love that Mac is here writing fucking letters when everyone else is texting as short as possible (relatable). I like that Dennis calls Dee out for being homophobic but plays along when Frank does the same thing like ughhhh moments that remind me Frank is Dennis’ dad. There’s a lot of little moments in their texting I feel like you only notice on rewatch. I honestly liked the episode a lot more after I’d seen it a few times because of that lol.

It’s just a such good episode to me I love so many things about it. I hope I can give you a new perspective on it!

i’m going to the philly zoo w some folx and am making vague IASIP references that nobody else will get

Meerkat scene was perhaps the greatest scene in sunny history

Hi Dennis. How was the lion feeding? Please let me know where you are and if U R OK...i don't want 2 sound annoying, but I really want to be happy when you witness it. You are my best friend and this trip to Da Zoo is really important to me, and us as best friends...i know Dee can be a stupid bitch but you should not take that shit out on me. I just want what's best for U and to make sure u are happy....i love you so much....like a good friend would love another good friend. Not in a gay way though....even though I am gay. Actually, I am really really gay. But not for you necessarily. I just like alot of your qualities as a man. Anyways, not to get off topic. Text me back please!

i love it when characters are unfair, actually. i love it when they’re uncouth and cranky and hypocritical, i love it when they have cognitive dissonances, i love it when they make good and bad choices for the wrong reasons. i love when they’re short to anger and hard to understand. i love it when they’ve destroyed themselves for nothing but can’t even see either part of it yet. i love it when they’re messy and selfish and bad at communicating. i love it when they get convinced of their own ego and stuck in a feedback loop regarding their own warped paranoia. i love it when characters actively make their lives unknowingly harder for themselves. i love it when characters don’t know they’re in a story. i love it when characters are like real people
