#what charlie and dennis have blurs the line between family and lover and friend

[realbeefman]

Ever just have a screaming fit about ptsdee (and nightman cometh, and missing out on childhood so you go see a robot’s boobs) and Charlie/Dennis feeling connected over suffering ‘real trauma’ the others haven’t, but also absolutely never admitting What Happened?

LITERALLY EVERDAY CONSTANTLY THEY HAUNT MEEEE.

PTSDee is one of my favorite episodes because I just absolutely love episodes that explore the gang’s trauma through absurd hijinks (dee’s self esteem issues n mac n frank daddy issues exploration r also favorites of mine) but charlie & dennis’ connection is just soo special and i love the way it’s portrayed. they’re such different people but the way they can see through each other’s denial and bullshit to recognize the specific ways that each of them was hurt KILLS me. they can only truly comprehend and try to process That Thing That Never Happened through projecting onto each other it’s so tragic. Real Recognizes Real and such… the charden worms in my brain r wriggling so fast rn AUGH
