#Charlie/Mac is definitely the dynamic of these two idiots

[cinemaocd]

Will it please or distress anyone to find that I started writing a scene for my Stephen/Thomas fic and then realized it was a situation entirely borrowed from Always Sunny in Philadelphia? It was Charlie/Mac of course...

[prettysymbiosis]

the gang gets cursed

“how long’s it been?” “too long” 🙊

“what if they edit it to make me look stupid or something?” yeah what if charlie was in a show that made him seem dumber than he actually is? that would really suck

does mac consider the good luck to be that someone could come in and save them from themselves? like does mac just want to be on tv or does he want to be fixed?

dennis: “how the bar comes across is a reflection of how I come across” charlie: “yes!” the bar is the show… they don’t want to make a silverfish show. they’re finally trying to clean up the rot inside their characters :)

charlie is mad at mac for messing things up as he’s trying to fix them - in a literal sense I know that’s an old charlie work dynamic but also charlie in an emotional sense has been getting his shit together this season, like he is doing the real Charlie Work and he’s sick of the gang sabotaging themselves and him!!

charlie’s face when he realizes he might’ve called an old lady a cunt too… I’m telling you he’s becoming a better person

I love this magical, mysterious side of sunny btw! it’s more playful and cinematic

“well if you’re gonna whip it out, we’re on the clock” you tell him cricket! that line makes me laugh every time

also cricket telling mac he’s gotta pick a lane like bro you don’t even know. this guy finally admits he’s gay as hell but he won’t stop eating nuts and believing his mom loves him

big mac lol

CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (this was when he was telling uncle jack to fuck off and that was my only note)

“do I look like I’m at sea, mom?” “I don’t know…” I think this has metaphorical significance

dennis saying “I get that now” about what leads to curses… okay so maybe you should try being a better person and then you’ll feel better idiot :)

I really liked the way the storylines came together via the pet cemetery, definitely got a kick out of the writing there

I almost forgot to say anything about maureen but rest in power and the fact that dennis is finally burying her and everything she represented seems pretty significant!!!

“cause what they believe influences their actions. but actions do have consequences. like lying, mac.” YEAH MAC (and then he gets lied to next episode... when will it end)

“we know we should be at work” I love when the gang acknowledges never being at the bar

mac may or may not be lucky, but he sure as HELL is devoted. we know this!!!! it’s crazy he’d really be perfect for a guy like dennis… huh weird

there was never any luck one way or the other was there

the ending 😎

so far two mentions of mac having kids and two mentions of “the bigger picture”... not sure what to think yet but I am paying attention

[globrights]

How do you think macdennis will happen in the canon of the show?

okay, since we know that iasip is getting a s14 (maybe even a s15, who knows), and assuming that rcg does have a Plan to make macdennis canon, here’s how i think it can go down:

something has to happen in Mac Finds His Pride, or if rcg is planning to really shock us out the waters, they could have something happen in The Gang Wins The Big Game, and then follow up to it during the s13 finale

if they choose to do something in the superbowl ep, im thinking mac and some really good looking dude get caught together on a kisscam: mac dives in, because hes so starved at this point he’ll really take anything and this guy is cute as all hell. they make out a little longer than kiss cams should be and thats apparently all that is to it. until we cut to dennis—who’s watching the game in North Dakota. for some strange reason, he gets all pissed off and shuts off the tv, makes a lot of noise as he does, and Mandy comes in and demands to know what’s going on. He reacts badly to her and then apologizes, but she kicks him out bc she’s had enough of his shit, or maybe she’s not even there and he just. walks out and leaves a note/voicemail

OR dennis could somehow be at the superbowl. maybe he caved too early into his run as a dad and family man, and he’s been hiding out somewhere in philly, and he somehow landed tickets and is treating himself to a good time. he sees mac make out with some dude and gets jealous and yells HEY in a very menacing voice, or tries to stop them in some other dumb way, or maybe mac is brown/blackout drunk n making out with any dude whos up for it, and some guy tries to steal his wallet, maybe dennis had been watching and intervenes, and mac, brown/blackout drunk, kisses dennis

so yeah, could go a million ways. and then in the next ep they’d have to follow up, or maybe dennis isn’t in the superbowl episode at all (which would be disappointing and mean we’ll never find out what happened with nd but i digress), but either way, we hit Mac Finds His Pride!

okay so i had completely no idea about the full plot of Mac Finds His Pride until i googled it like 5 seconds ago so that sucks on my part bc im an idiot but yeah so we know that frank tries to recruit mac for their float at the pride parade, and the fact that the gang has a float and that frank cares whether mac is involved means that this is most definitely a scheme. frank thinks mac’ll jump at the chance to be part of a pride parade and also to show off his muscles that he keeps insisting on maintaining!! the gang has a use for his muscles now!! but mac says no

so obviously, frank tries to do things to butter mac up into saying yes. idk if this will be the first, last, or just one of the few things that frank’ll try, but theres a possibility that frank will pay dennis to make out with mac. dennis protests it at first to some degree but caves (either because of the money or frank says something that has dennis being like fiNE) and then mac makes out w dennis n it seems that dennis seems to enjoy this a lot more than he claimed to!! he even takes charge of the kiss at some point!!

but when frank asks mac the answer is still no, and so frank MARCHES into the bar n demands his money back from dennis, who insists that he does deserve the money bc he kept up his part of the deal and made out with mac. at this point, charlie and dee happen to be there and hear this, and go all omg “you kissed MAC?” “IT WAS FOR THE MONEY!” “frank, you paid dennis to kiss mac? doesn’t that make dennis a hooker??” “no it does not make me a hooker!” “who cares if it makes dennis a whore, its not like he didnt want it-” “what are you talking about?? i made it clear i didnt want that SEVERAL times!” “oh come on, i was doin’ you two queers a favor anyway-” 

yeah basic shit like that, anyway frank demands that dennis prove the two of them kissed, and dennis says no, but after being pressured bc the gang knows mac n dennis have cameras in their house, dennis admits that he does have video evidence BUT he claims that its too graphic to show, BECAUSE mac drops his pants in the footage and dennis failed to stop him in time, and in order to ensure that a video that is free of mac’s penis is produced, he needs to go edit the video, which takes time—”we don’t care if we see mac’s dick man. we’ve all seen mac’s dick” “yeah. dude’s pecker is something else, but i’ll choke myself to death before i go near it or... see it again, so maybe it’s best if dennis-” “why have you all seen mac’s dick?” “weird orgy thing. don’t ask. why have you seen mac’s dick?” 

anyway frank shuts down the line of questioning and basically recruits dennis to help him convince mac about the parade thing, which dennis immediately agrees with, and dee and charlie make it their mission to Find That Tape 

so with dennis’s help, frank finds out that macs not fully comfy w his sexuality bc hes not out to his dad, and they go on from there w the coming out to luther stuff, maybe theres some Stuff going on between dennis n mac during this who knows

but the real kicker of the ep is how it ends—charlie and dee find the tape, and the last scene of the ep is us watching them watch the tape—except we the audience cant see it. n dee n charlies eyes widen and they’re silent, the only noise being the ones from the tape. 

“holy shit. mac and dennis fucked.”

roll credits

or, you know, they could do some basic jealousy shit 

or macdennis could become canon in s14/s15 (theyd need to do some serious buildup and the s13 finale has to show me a change in mac and dennis’s dynamic that helps build up to their eventual consummation of their relationship or hands will be thrown)
