ok this blog is BRAND NEW and I need to flesh this out more tomorrow, HOWEVER
is it just me or does anybody else see a resemblance between Maureen Ponderosa and Ms. Klinsky? Especially with the dark hair + the teeth/mouth.
I need to add more to this later, but I was also thinking about in the episode where dennis marries Maureen, Dennis says to Mac “I’m having feelings again, like some sort of 14 year old kid.” The first time I watched this episode, I didn’t think too much about that line- I just figured it was because he dated Maureen in highschool.
However, it’s said earlier that Dennis and Maureen started dating in 10th grade, and 10th grade students are typically 15-16 years old in the USA. However, they still likely knew eachother when Dennis what 14. But the thing that gets me, is in addition to the vague resemblance to Klinsky that Maureen has, the fact that Dennis associates marrying her with “having feelings like some sort of 14 year old” builds a direct correlation between Dennis’ feelings/ability to feel when he was 14, versus his ability to feel now that he’s marrying Maureen.
At first, I thought that this was maybe just because he’s in love with her/is happy to be married. But the more I think about it, it’s odd that the “feelings like some sort of 14 year old kid” comment is used, rather than just saying that he’s in love with her.
Now, what’s the point here? Obviously, as we know, Dennis isn’t in love with Maureen. But I think it goes deeper than “Dennis is using her because he wants to be married.” I think it’s “Dennis sees a resemblance to Klinsky in her, and now he’s able to gain some measure of weird power over Klinsky via Maureen.”
And he also associates her with the time in his life where he was being abused (and perhaps even started dating her in order to make himself + his relationships seem more “normal.”) Hence why he’s not only associating being with her with feeling emotions again (because he now, deep deep down, from his weird, probably even just subconscious POV, has some measure of control over Klinsky). I don’t think it’s a 100% intentional, conscious thing on Dennis’ part.
I think part of him wants to exert power over klinsky via Maureen, and I think another small part of him is reminded of that abuse, and is trying to put himself into situations that remind him of that abuse, because he’s trying to remind himself that it “wasn’t rape”, and trying to force himself to be around people that remind him of that time of his life/of klinsky.
Also here’s a side by side of Maureen and Klinsky. The picture of Maureen doesn’t show her teeth as much as they’re shown in the show, but I think that the dark hair + teeth are quite similar on both klinsky and Maureen!

Felt like making an IASIP version of the ‘My ____ Romance’ sequence in the MCR ‘I’m Not Okay’ music video. ☀️

Mac: Okay, assholes, I’m here and I’m queer. Where are you guys?
Dennis: I’m gay and I’m on my way.
Charlie: I’m ace and I’m in the wrong place.
Frank: I’m straight and I’m gonna be late.
Dee: I’m a lesbiAN and I don’t know where I am.
(The gang then proceeds to roast Dee on the basis that “That doesn’t fucking rhyme, god dammit, you ruined it, Dee”.)

Started thinking about whether Dennis holds some lingering underlying resentment towards Mac for allowing what happened to him in S1E1.
Did Dennis know that that wasn’t Mac’s intention? Or his idea of a sick joke?
What if the deepest, darkest, most irrational part of his mind felt so hurt and so betrayed that Mac, who prided himself on being this great protector, let that happen to him twice?
I want Dennis to let his emotions just...
Pour all out. Like this.

Dennis Reynolds really was the little boy who grew up and became the Nightman after his trauma, huh?

Holy bubblegum-flavoured fuck, this is amazing.

Just had a thought reading this. I think Mac very likely had a wee bit of a slutty phase after he came out. To be precise, the timelines in my head go like this (I’ve kept this under a “keep reading” because jesus this got lengthy):
Keep reading

Poor Unfortunate Souls - IASIP Edition
I admit that in the past, I’ve been quite dreadful.
They weren’t kidding when they said I was a menace.
But I have grown, matured, evolved!
My wrongdoings been absolved!
And you see, I’m now a scrupulous new Dennis.
And as a Golden God, I’m talented in sorcery.
It’s something I believe you ought to know.
And my dear Mac, it’s not satirical!
Why, it’s rather like the miracles
of this Jesus whom you seem to worship so.
(Pathetic.)
Poor unfortunate souls!
So helpless! So tragic!
They come in masses to me crying
“Dennis, make my wish come true!”
And I do so. With my magic.
Those poor unfortunate souls!
So weak. So mortal.
“I want to find a leprechaun!”
“I want to be a famous actress!”
And in their plight, I find I cannot help but chortle.
