Being a fan of Sunny is crazy because something genuinely stupid will happen to one of those men in real life and that event will end up becoming a whole episode revealing the psyche of a character who has been smashed full of debauchery and trauma-based lore for 18 years is trapped in his own systems of oppression, and the majority of people who are fans of the show will still argue day and night that the characters aren't deeper than the surface.

Glenn Howerton: [...] and we talk about that all the time when we're writing Sunny, it's like this moment is like 'it's not funny enough,' and I'm like yes, but is it *entertaining,* is it interesting to watch? [...]

Sure, "it's funnier" if they don't, but...

must an episode be “good”. is it not enough for there to be gore, blood, and cannibalism.

the DENNIS system

[nightcrawlerzincorporated]

I think Dennis having to fantasize a scenario where the gang depends on him but he can’t depend on them, where he is allowed to have two entire sugary drinks (but even then only a few sips!), where he’s able to save all his anger only for the person who deserves it instead of lashing out at everyone, a scenario where he can turn bad situations into diamonds instead of letting them consume him the way they do in real life, where he himself can become a diamond, is profoundly sad and highlights how insecure he is about every aspect of his life and how desperate he is for easy solutions that don’t exist. I’m ripping his heart out and eating it

i have to fuck him

[velociraptorsaurusrex]

forgive me if this exact posts exists somewhere already I feel like it certainly could. but the thing about dtamhd is that the fantasy of removing the heart is not actually “violent.” he removes a man’s heart but does it with no great force; the man does not die or even react; there is a stillness and peace and even gentleness to that scene. I just do not believe Dennis engages with this fantasy on the level of “violence.”

by the same token Dennis does not see remaking & strictly controlling & criticizing the self as “violent” — he sees these things through a clinical lens, with a sense of cold necessity, and even with that gentleness — it’s what needs to be done, and it’s a kindness to do it. he additionally does not truly have a “beauty is pain/suffering” mindset because he perceives the control, restriction, & criticality, again, not as violence — but in this case a more neutral type of “effort.” he believes successfully performing this “effort” begets the “reward” of beauty/perfection.

in conclusion I ultimately do not believe dtamhd serves as definite evidence that Dennis relishes in the fantasy of or materially desires violence, because in his mind it is not “violence” the way we perceive it.
