#chardee sometimes as well

[emodennis]

(for the shipping bingo) charmac ? :)

thanks for asking :D

macden is my favorite/ my comfort ship but i also thoroughly enjoy charmac, charden, and charmacden :)

#chardee sometimes as well #but they’re not my main focus #in my dream world mac and dennis are in a primary relationship but also sleep with charlie sometimes #bc dennis and mac also love charlie but they love each other more sorry </3 #god thinking about them makes me 😭😭😭 #but yeah charden and charmac have very interesting and lovely dynamics that deserve to be explored on their own as well ~~ #asks #phoenix talks

[a-a-a-anon]

not a lot of people care about the prophecy anymore but here are my headcanons for a chardee macdennis double wedding:

they had to get married in a joint wedding, obviously. neither party would agree to getting married after the other. the topic was brought up and it led to hours of fighting and the threat of arbitration. each party presented their case to frank so he would be a deal breaker and pick who would get married first, but frank refused to get into that mess. they eventually agreed to do a simultaneous wedding

they frantically plan the wedding in one night, treating it like another scheme. during the course of that night they realize they don't really know a lot of people to invite. in the end dennis is appointed as dee's bridesman and dee as dennis' groomsmaid. mac's appointed as charlie's groomsman and charlie as his. they’re really pretending to treat it like a civilized affair. it's franks job to finance and to walk dennis and dee down the aisle (he's really involving himself for mac and charlie's sake. mac because he's proud of him because of MFHP and charlie because he's been his best friend for the last 20 years. he still thinks the twins are bastard crackheads)

they have 4 separate bachelor/bachelorette parties which are like mini versions of dee/charlie/mac/dennis days. frank complains he should be getting a party too and the gang yells at him that only people getting married get bachelor/bachelorette parties.

on the wedding day, the twins get ready together and charmac get ready together:

the twins are snide - "jesus christ sweet dee u should've gotten something with sleeves. that dress does nothing for ur fat bird arms" "well that blazer makes u look like a duck. it's too small" (she's right, the lapel bulges. for a moment dennis stops applying mascara:) "wha- i- why would you say something like that to a man on his wedding day..." or something like that. they're also weirdly competitive and are trying to have a Better wedding than the other, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve in a joint wedding

charlie and mac are in the other room, incredibly anxious and sweaty and trying to keep each other from freaking out. they're trying to huff glue without getting any on their tuxes. dee made mac promise he won't let charlie eat so much cheese before the wedding because it makes his breath repugnant. mac ignores this and actually decides to try stress eating cheese too in an attempt to quell his pre wedding anxiety. they also helped each other dress in their tuxes (they’re used to getting someone from a non-'white trash' background to help them dress for fancy events)

dee's vows include a bunch of bad dirty jokes, tailor written for the occasion. they are groan inducing

before the wedding, charlie was afraid his vows wouldn't come out good (because sometimes words get blocked up in his mouth and he don't say it no good). he felt pressured to write something and writing words in itself is scary to him. in the end, he does a short simple sweet song for his vows. he got artemis (artemis is there, obviously) to pull out a keyboard when he cued her.

a good chunk of his vows dennis devotes to himself

mac pulls out a goddamn STACK of cue cards when it's his turn to say his vows. the gang expects a repeat of the Gang Texts situation where mac has way too much to say. instead it plays out like this post

during the wedding frank does a speech for all of them and it's just like his awkward speech on the boat in thunder gun express. he somehow brings up the topics of the waitress and mandy and banging etc and the gang is like COME ON FRANK

afterwards they play chardee macdennis and all the fantastic points in this post takes place

none of them spend their ‘first night as a married couple’ uh consummating their marriage or anything. no, they get hospitalized because chardee macdennis always ends in disaster

and a bonus crack idea: artemis gets called in as frank’s emergency contact and the gang is like oh? we didn’t know she was your emergency contact. frank replies that of course she is, the wife is always the emergency contact. he nonchalantly explains he got married that morning before all of them. the gang is greatly angered because they had a whole discussion on who should get married first and they had agreed to do a Thing! but they’re stuck in their crutches/beds/neck braces/etc and are incapable of unleashing their fury on frank without immense pain (not that this stops them from attempting to do so)

and afterwards frank promises them ice cream or something

#these are all silly i KNOW especially those last few vdjskafksh let me live #iasip #chardee #macdennis #the prophecy #iasip headcanons #it's always sunny #nina.rambles #soulmates of pain #also if a chardee macden wedding were ever an episode (and i know it'd never be but for a second imagine) #they'd have to play Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine at SOME point #because a) its quite fitting b) it would make for great emotional dissonance if played it during a chaotic scene #since the song is quite sweet #like if they played it at the chaotic violent climax of chardee macdennis #or at the end when they're promising to make artemis a widow #etc

[trashangel-dee]

A short Chardee fic based off this bts pic:

“Ireland!” Dee smiles cheesily at her phone’s camera. There’s a few shutter clicks as she changes angles, while the guys ignore her.

“Hey, guys! Come take some pics with me,” Dee happily turns and calls to the four men milling about by the cliffside.

“Pics? What the hell are you talking about, Deandra?” Frank demands.

Dee rolls her eyes, losing patience at the old man. “Pictures, Frank. It’s the hip new word.  They’re for my Instagram.”

“C’mon, Dennis,” Dee whines, posing for the camera again. “Come take a picture with me.”

“And be seen with you? No way,” Dennis scoffs.

“No one follows that pathetic bitch anyway, Dennis,” Mac jumps in.

“Well go on, then. Be in Dee’s picture. No one’s gonna see it,” Dennis challenges him.

“Eww. No,” Mac looks disgusted.

Dee gives up. Those three are asshole a and Charlie’s already disappeared from view., wandering off to who knows where. For whatever crazy reasons run around in his head.

“Fine. Whatever, boners. I don’t need you anyway. I’ll find some hot Irish guy alone, anyway.” She turns to get a slightly different background and raises her phone. Dee jumps and shouts, nearly dropping her phone when an image appears on the screen as something grabs her shoulders.

“What the hell, Charlie?!,” Dee smacks his arm. “You scared me.”

Charlie rubs at the sore spot, unfazed by her reaction. “We’re doing pictures, right?”

“Uh, yeah,” Dee says surprised. She turns back to her previous position and Charlie follows suit, placing his hands on her shoulders and pressing his body close.

Dee takes a deep, almost shaky breath, and smiles, hoping Charlie won’t notice. His proximity and niceness making her nervous something will screw that up. She likes those moments when it’s them against the works. Hell, sometimes it’s them against their own gang. She snaps the photo and brings it close to inspect.

“I like it,” Charlie confirms. Dee stared a few more seconds and nods in agreement. “Will you send it to me?,” he asks.

“Yeah, sure,” Dee complies, typing his name in her messages and hitting ‘send’.

A moment later his phone dings. Charlie pulls it out and grins, “cool.”

There’s a beat of silence, as neither knows what to do next.

“Hey, wanna go look for leprechauns with me? I bet this place is loaded with them,” Charlie offers.

Dee sighs, tired of this yearly topic. “Leprechauns aren’t real, Charlie. They’re made up.”

“They are real, Dee. If they weren’t, how would we know what they look like?,” he challenges.

Dee considers it. Logically, she knows it’s bullshit. But all myths are based on some facts, right? She glances back to Dennis, Mac and Frank, all too busy with their asinine plans to pay attention to the pair.

“Fine,” Dee agrees, “But we’re not sharing our fortune with them.” She points her thumb in the guys’ direction.

“‘Course not,” Charlie agrees, as they head off across the hilltop.

I'm not really sure who to ask, but I was wondering if you might have any sunny fic recommendations? Thanks, and no worries if not!

OH MY GOD DO I EVER. 

If you’re feeling brave and want to sift through my ever-growing Sunny bookmarks on AO3, here you go! 

But some of my absolute faves are: 

tonight, in this house, we drown

61k words. Complete.

Summary: "But he can’t stand it anymore. A childlike instinct takes over, his long dormant need to protect Mac rearing it’s head for the second time that night.""Mac Finds His Pride" aftermath.

Honest to god, my absolute favorite Sunny fic. I’ve read it twice, probably going to read it again after this. It’s just...so good.

Mac and Dennis Conduct an Experiment by pavonine 

36k words. Complete. 

Summary: Dennis convinces Mac that the only surefire way to prove his straightness is to sexually experiment with another man. Of course that man happens to be Dennis. Of course Mac buys into this as a reasonable plan of action.Of course it backfires on them both. Set somewhere in the middle of Season 8.

This is the first Sunny fic I ever read. I love it. It’s hilarious and in character and makes you feel things. 

See also: Mac and Dennis Get a New Apartment. Both are Top Tier. 

guardians of a rare thing by yennefers

102k words. Complete. 

Summary: Sometimes Mac will kiss him to calm him down. It’s a no strings attached kind of thing, until it isn’t.

MacDen kissing, Paddy’s Brunch Scheme. This fic has everything. 

The Gang Learns to Exist in the Moment* by mxingno

40k words. Complete. 

Summary: After a car wreck and a funeral, the gang decides to get clean -- only to find that if getting there is hard, staying there is worse, and coming out the other side together might turn out to be impossible. Warning for Major Character Death. 

Do you want to be SAD? Read this. *CharDee is the other pairing so if that’s not your jam, then maybe this isn’t for you? But like it’s SO good honestly I wouldn’t let that deter you. 

Mac and Dennis Move Forward by kaivevo 

17k words. Complete. 

Summary: “It’s like this,” Mac explained. “Dennis has been kinda sad lately, you know? It’s… he has this thing, he calls it his God Hole, and he’s trying to use this kid to fill it up. But he’s way more dumber than I thought because he already tried that, and it didn’t work. And it’s so annoying because he still doesn’t realize that the person who’s gonna fill his hole is right in front of him.” He gestured to himself, just in case his point wasn’t clear. Charlie’s face lit up in realization.“Ohhh, okay, that’s what this is about,” he said. “You want to fill Dennis’s hole.”Mac coughed. “No, that’s— that’s not what I meant, don’t say it like that.”

If Mandy ever had to come back and Mac and Dennis actually did have to raise Brian Jr., this is how I’d want it to happen. 

Something Close to Extraordinary by OystersAintForMe

23k words. Complete 

Most of Mac's life has been by accident. After his father is arrested and sent to prison, Mac is left on his own to grow up, graduate high school, move out, get a job, and try his hardest not to fall in love with the wrong people. But after Dennis returns from North Dakota with Brian in tow and Mandy suddenly out of the picture, not falling in love proves harder than it’s ever been before. Oh god that’s so melodramatic. Basically it’s just your average friends-to-roommates-to-strangers-to-roommates-to-coparents-to-husbands-to-lovers story lol

So back in March, Sunny did a Big Bang and it was glorious and there were a lot of Mac and Dennis raising Brian Jr. fics and this is one of them and it’s fantastic. 

See also: The Gang Miscalculates the Odds. A WIP but it’s fcking hilarious and so well done. 

maybe different is okay. by theentiregdtime

4k words. Complete 

It’s a perfectly normal Tuesday night movie night.

The selection screen of the Predator DVD is playing on a loop, Mac is in the kitchen popping popcorn, the lights are down low, and Dennis is twisting the cap off of his first beer of the evening. Everything in the apartment is as it should be.

Yep, perfectly normal movie night.

Except that it’s their first once since…

Dennis runs his thumb along the edge of the bottle, gazing into it like it’s a magic 8-ball about to reveal the secret to dating your lifetime best friend. It’s got nothing to share, though, aside from the sound of the liquid sloshing inside.

He made Mac promise, though. He made him promise it would be the same as always and he wouldn’t make it all weird.

POETIC CINEMA. I just remember being so blown away by this fic. Actually all of her work really. Please read all of her fics: theentiregdtime 

In the interest of keeping things uh, short because I could literally just go on forever about Sunny fic...but here are some of my fave Sunny fic authors: 

andchaos 

I LOVE carpe diem (WIP). Plus there are 29 other Sunny works! 

doriangay 

My personal fave works are the hurricane inclined us and midnight, lose my mind 

bastardmanvibes

Jackie gets credit for writing what is probably my favorite line in any fanfic I’ve ever read: And when [Dennis’s] lips parted ever so much, the tip of his tongue starting to peek through, Mac straight up died, dude. He just fucking passed away, man, I don’t know what to tell you.

Fcking hilarious. From this fic, a WIP but it’s so worth the read regardless because the way she writes every character is nothing short of flawless. 

Literally I could go on. This list is in no way exhaustive. We could be here for days. I’m still making my way through the MacDennis fic tag on AO3 but these are the ones that have just stuck with me for one reason or another. I know there’s more buried in my bookmarks I just have a crappy memory.

tagged by @anon-ee​ thank you!! <3

1. why did you choose your url?

Well first of all this is objectively the best Sunny blooper!  Like it legit should’ve been part of that episode but I can’t blame Rob for not being able to keep it in.  Also my followers probably didn’t know this about me, but I’m a feral Chardee shipper.  So it’s kind of a subliminal messaging thing for people who are on the fence about it, in a “this ship is great, fuck Time’s Up” kind of way.

2. any side blogs?

Nope

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

About half a year now.  Feels way longer than that though.  Idk if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

4. do you have a queue tag?

I post whenever I feel like.  Don’t care if it’s 4 in the morning or 4 in the afternoon.  Scheduling posts is for dorks!

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

Like a lot of people I was bored during the pandemic and joined the Sunny fandom to scratch that itch (been a fan since 2011).  Also came to dislike the subreddit and wanted to see if the grass is greener here (all things considered, it is).

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Because Charlie :D

7. why did you choose your header?

It’s just such a good moment, the gang stuck in the bathroom together with Charlie drinking out of the bleach bottle.  I vibe with it sometimes.

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

The one where Dee and Charlie make fun of Fat Mac’s junk and give each other a high five.  Love that they have the same sense of humor!

9. how many mutuals do you have?

Just counted and it’s 12. The others I follow, I still like you but you hurt me. :(

10. how many followers do you have?

89

11. how many people do you follow?

20

12. have you ever made a shit post?

What do you think? :P

13. how often do you use tumblr a day?

At least twice.  Sometimes more but any less and I miss posts on my dash.

14. did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?

Never.  I’m like that one guy in Frank Falls Out the Window: “Don’t touch my shit.  I don’t touch your shit.”

15. how do you feel about the you need to reblog posts?

No thoughts on the subject

16. do you like tag games?

I’m pretty sure I’ve participated every time I’ve gotten tagged, so yes!

17. do you like ask games?

Same principle as tag games!

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Compared to me, all of them lol.

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

It’s not really a crush if it’s mutual, is it? ;)

#thanks jess!!!!!!!!!!!! #gabe-lewis #answered

[ace-charlie-kelly]

now you've been asked fave episode of each season!

sldjkfds thank you!

Season 1: The Gang Gets Racist. The first season is definitely the weakest imo but the very first episode is pretty solid and got Sunny off to a good gay start.

Season 2: Dennis and Dee Get a New Dad. I started watching Sunny in 2015 and I watched it out of order so of course I already knew Frank wasn’t Dee and Dennis’s biological father by the time I got to this one (in fact, at first I didn’t even know he raised them), but I still thought it was funny as heck, especially Frank’s meltdown at Guigino’s (thank u Emmy award winning Danny Devito) and the twist at the end that he might actually be Charlie’s dad. Love it.

Season 3: The Gang Gets Held Hostage. This was one of the first episodes I remember liking a lot. The McPoyles are wild and fucking hilarious. There are so many iconic moments (Dennis, I love you; RYAN, STAB SOMEBODY; *Dee cocks gun at the gang* GET ON YOUR KNEES, BITCHES!) The pacing is great. All that insanity and SCREAMING and build up to what was looking to be a huge ending where SOMEONE was gonna get shot or stabbed to death and then the McPolyes just...leave. And that’s the end lmao.

Season 4: Mac and Charlie Die AND The Nightman Cometh: Okay LISTEN I can’t choose between THE most iconic episode (Nightman Cometh) and my personal favorite, not just in s4 but in Sunny as a whole (Mac and Charlie Die) so I’m gonna mention them both. Charlie and Mac getting up to dumbass Shenanigans™ together is one of my favorite episode setups and I could watch the car crash scene on loop for hours and still think it’s hilarious. And there’s no need to explain TNC. It’s one of the most popular and well-known episodes for a reason.

Season 5: Mac and Dennis Break Up: It’s just the macdennis of it all...

Season 6:  I wanted to say A Very Sunny Christmas because it’s my favorite episode overall after Mac and Charlie Die and Wikipedia lists it under season 6. But I think it’s technically not a part of any season so that episode aside I’ve got to go with Who Got Dee Pregnant? The flashback-style storytelling. Dee becoming more and more birdlike until she’s an ACTUAL EMU. Frank dressed as “Man-Spider.” Artemis “I Don’t Remember Most Evenings” Dubois. “YOU WILL CALL HER!” The bombshell (and fake, thank god) reveal that the answer to the titular question was DENNIS, holy shit! A good, funny episode that worked in Kaitlin’s irl pregnancy perfectly.

Season 7: CharDee MacDennis: The Game of Games. Another quintessential Sunny episode. It combines my two favorite types of episode setups: a Charlie & Mac team up and a gang-centric storyline that takes place in the bar. Love it!

Season 8: Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense. Again, I love gang-centric episodes, especially ones that shine a light on the gang’s intricate and surprisingly sacred internal arbitration system. Mac’s “Science is a LIAR sometimes”/”BITCH” speech is one of my top favorite scenes in the whole show.

Season 9: The Gang Gets Quarantined. Another gang-centric episode set in the bar! Nothing is funnier than Frank, hairless and mostly naked, squirming around on a floor covered in hand sanitizer (except for maybe fully naked Frank crawling out of a couch. Why hasn’t Sunny won an Emmy yet???).

Season 10: Charlie Work. There’s a reason it has the highest episode rating on IMDb! Bc it’s good.

Season 11: Mac and Dennis Move to the Suburbs: NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE, I’ve been stanning Suburbs the entire goddamn time!!!!!

Season 12: The Gang Goes to a Water Park. Rare Mac & Dee team up. Dennis being as close to wholesome as possible spending his entire day mentoring Abby on the art of scheming. That horrifying 10 second long squuueeeaaak as Frank’s back skin gets scraped off by that dry-ass slide. Mac putting his ass on the pool drain and looking me in the eye while he does it. The only thing I didn’t like about this episode was its weirdly short run time.

Season 13: This one’s hard because I haven’t rewatched most of these episodes since they premiered last year. Obviously I’m tempted to say Mac Finds His Pride, but looking back that (incredible!!!) final scene is the only big reason it stands out to me as a noteworthy episode. When it comes to which episode I enjoyed most as a whole, I think that might be The Gang Gets New Wheels. I don’t know what this says about me as a person, but I’ve never laughed harder than when Mac and Charlie beat up those children slkdjfjsdk.

[mhaccunoval]

Basic ask but thoughts about MacDennis, Charmac, Charden, Chardee?

ok this is gonna take a hot second. 

macdennis: mac & den are blood brothers and have been roommates for god knows how long. in a way, they get each other. maybe not on a level that dee and dennis get each other (because they’re twins) but they think similarly sometimes and just. have a dynamic together that makes them good in schemes when they work together. and hell, we know that at least in s12 (and early s13) mac has feelings for den beyond friendship which i feel like came about from finally giving into acknowledging feelings after years of repression and denial (since the first sign of feelings was ptsdee, right after coming out in hero or hate crime). so mayhaps we may get something out of this old married couple this season..... 

charmac: tender. they’ve been friends their entire lives so they know each other well, even if mac feels like he vibes more with dennis. they’ve been there for each other through thick & thin, through the tortures of their childhoods, and shared new experiences with each other no doubt. they’re sort of. childhood friends slow burn to lovers ya know. like they’ve always been close friends and in later years started becoming a little more than that, knowing they can count on each other and be able to reminisce together if they wanted. they’re just a wholesome duo when the show allows

charden: (ok really gonna try my best to stay out of tyler & i’s dark canon on this) perhaps not as wholesome as the other 2 but still has it’s softness. they don’t always meet eye to eye on their habits and thoughts but can still take some comfort in each other (i mean we did get the drinking to their trauma bit so). as far as an actual opinion, i’d say i’m a little more partial to the other two (unless thinking about dark canon) just because i feel like the dynamic of the others allows for a bit more tenderness and uhh clicking than charden really. but also my opinion is dumb and bad so

ch*rdee: ok i feel like after 2 posts (...more like 1 & a half) about it, yall would know my feelings on ch*rdee, so much so that i’m blocking it in the post but not the tags. i mean there’s some tender moments between them (like that season 1 scene where dee is wearing charlie’s jacket & a half of a second of charlie rules the world) and i hate to admit some of the fanart is actually cute. but the thing that makes me just. not want anything to do with it isn’t the fact that it’s a straight ship (and i’m a heterophobe) but the whole gang misses the boat incident that time’s up shed light on. like i really can’t excuse that instance like. at all. mostly because i love charlie so much. again, like i said on my first post about that incident, i don’t hate dee but also that was an extremely shitty move on her part. now i need to stop talking about it before it becomes a ramble

i doubt this was as opinion-based as you wanted oops

[weighingthefoolsgold]

10 things (I think) Charlie Kelly enjoys.

Have some Charlie Kelly loves.

Video Games: Charlie no doubt enjoys video games, we've seen him play. If he had the opportunity, he'd spend all day playing video games with Mac instead of being productive. He plays a lot of shooter games, getting blasted while he plays, ending up passed out in the middle of a level. But that's how he likes it.

Tom Petty: Not only does Charlie love music... He loves America! And what's more American than our Gator Boy, Tom, and our Rat Baby, Charlie. His favorite album by the Heartbreakers is Damn the Torpedoes and he regularly listens to it in his free time or on his walk to work.

Pet Stores: Charlie is an enthusiast of Cats, Rats, and other strange creatures. So whenever he gets the chance, he drags the gang into pet stores. He runs around (literally) back and forth between all the different areas of pets. He talks to birds for what seems like hours, plays with rats, offering them cheese, and hangs out with other strange creatures. He can even sometimes convince one of the others to buy him a strange little creature to play with, but eventually loses it. RIP.

Costumes: It's not unknown that he loves costumes and becoming other characters. From Green Man to a Hoss Bonaventure, he dresses up when a scheme calls for it (or even when it doesn't). He and Dee will willingly dress up and become someone else for the benefit of the gang, even when it may not go as they plan. That's when the two work best together.

Medieval Times: This is just another excuse for him to wear a costume. He and the gang thought it would be fun to go to the Medieval Times convention and dress up as the class they represent, Charlie being sort of a common man. He loves the costumes, the food, and the jousting. Even if he doesn't get to enjoy any dragon, he enjoys the event nonetheless.

Folklore: This goes hand in hand with Medieval Times. He loves stories about weird creatures or myths. He often hunts for goblins and ghouls and tries to study up on his legends, even though he can't read about them. He not only believes in folklore, he's also somewhat superstitious. Just be careful if you go hunting Bigfoot!

Board games: We know how well he did playing CharDee MacDennis and that his favorite game is Hungry, Hungry Hippos, but he also enjoys other games. He isn't very good at them. At all, really. But he stills loves playing them (especially when drinking is involved). Whenever they play games, he usually teams up with Mac. Mac helps him read and figure out the rules. The Gang once played Scrabble just to watch Charlie struggle. They then created 'Charlie's Dictionary', writing all his incoherent words down and making their own book.

Cooking: To be able to create masterpieces like Milk Steak or a Grilled Charlie, you have to have some kind of practice in the kitchen- errr... On the hotplate. When he's cooking for himself, he gets experimental with a variety of foods. You can imagine they don't taste incredible, but who knows, maybe Spaghetti with a side of cat food is good. The others avoid eating anything he makes simply to prevent themselves from catching some kind of parasite or food poisoning. But it's no biggie!

Sleep Overs: Charlie is the kind of guy who likes his free time but HATES being alone. He's rarely ever by himself. Before Frank moved in, he spent most of his time at the bar or at the others houses to be around someone. That's why he loves sleep overs so much. They all stay at Mac and Den's for the night. They rent a movie (usually of Mac's choosing) and get blasted on alcohol and pizza. The Gang ends up asleep in a giant pile of blankets and pillows, curled up with each other. And if you don't think they wake up holding one another, you are mistaken.

His friends: Finally... He loves his friends. Yes, he loves his dear close friends. Cat <3 Mac 4evr! Hi, I'm about to get cheesey. Charlie loves to come up with schemes so he can spend his time with the rest of the gang. His personality matches all of theirs so well that he won't get picky about who his partner is in the scheme. His life may not be too classy and he may not be rich, but he doesn't mind because he has his friends, even if Dennis is a bastard man.

So there you go. Here are just a few things I feel Charlie would without a doubt enjoy.

Now, I really enjoyed making this. Sooo, Please tell me to make more. For any of the gang. Im not a stickler.

[a-spaghettiday]

After

A CharDee contribution...taking place after “the event” in “The Gang Misses the Boat.” Also readable on Ao3. 

Shit. Dee’s joints creaked as she attempted to unfold herself from the love seat cushions.  

Draped at the knee over the couch’s back, Dee’s right leg was free-est. She winced as she straightened it – her foot and ankle cracking much louder than expected. You should do yoga. In an instant, she saw a grid of faceless ultra-fit housewives…moving “as one” into poses named after insects – while some bullshit off-brand Enya song played in the background. Dee grimaced. Well, you should at least get some yoga pants. That was half the job. More than half, really.

Her left leg proved she could do yoga fine without Enya...bent up underneath her, it had been cut off circulation for a while. She was pretty sure lack of circulation was a gauge of successful flexibility. Dee released a whinny at the spiky warmth which flooded forward as she maneuvered the leg over the closest couch arm.

She then turned her attention to her own arms. Her right arm was comfortable enough – bent upward and behind her head, like she’d passed out mid-yawn.

Hah…“passed out” – You wish Sweet Dee. She groaned deep in her throat – because, shit that’s right – she’d been sober last night. They both had.

Which brought Dee’s thoughts to her left arm… an arm which, at the moment, was the most complicated of her endless limbs.

She remembered threading her arm through Charlie’s, but for the life of her she couldn’t remember why. No one had been threatening to do something stupid – she didn’t have to restrain him, he wasn’t trying to restrain her. The gang had…as of a couple days ago…disbanded – so no scheme had forced them into extreme duress. And they were definitely in Dee’s apartment, alone. Meaning they hadn’t been hiding, or doing a bit for the benefit of unaware onlookers.

So how the hell did her elbow become locked with his? And why was she thinking about how his well-muscled arm’s freckle-tan looked against her freckle-less arm – despite not yet having opened her eyes?

Goddammit Dee…well-muscled? Really? Shit.

There was of course the simple explanation – that it was just what a person did, a normal way to reciprocate affection. But if there was anything Dee knew about herself – it was that she wasn’t normal, and she wasn’t simple.

--

The weird dolly couch was way too small – even after he’d kicked off the spare pillows. Damn that’s right – you and Frank have got to remember to stock-up on spare pillows. Ever since harvesting the cotton from their last ones, the two of them had been playing fast and loose with their pillow situation – if someone were to sabotage their futon one night, they’d be screwed.

There was something soft between his face and the dolly couch arm – partially opening his eyes, he surveyed a cloud of blonde obscuring his immediate vision. Oh shit…so that happened. It smelled like blossoms. Dee’s hair always smelled like blossoms.  

Deeeeee – right now, she was a plain ol’ regular D, plucked on a harpsichord. A sleepy Dee. Deeee.

Charlie stifled a yawn.

If he thought about it, dolly couches were really the opposite of futons. With a futon – you’ve got a pretty sweet couch to begin with, and then if you and your pals need to do some collaborative sleeping – you’ve got a fold-out bed that’s twice as big.

Charlie lifted his head a bit to let some of Dee’s hair fall loose – so she wouldn’t pull it if she needed to move.

Meanwhile toy couches were crappy couches to begin with – crappy couches which became even crappier when used as a bed. Not ideal for collaborative sleeping at all.

This brought Charlie a peculiar pulse of pride. Because you know what – we made it work. Him and Sweet Dee, that is. Deeeeeee.

Sometimes, Dee was D sharp, sometimes she was D flat – sometimes he heard her played on a saxophone, other times a harmonica. It had been like this for a while – so far as Charlie could tell, it was all about how Dee seemed at the moment. Depending on that, he would imagine her note.

Deee. Last night, Dee was D…sharp. A mid D Sharp played on a keyboard. Deeeeeeeee…A smiley note – but the kind that was smiley without being stupid. 

All bright and yellow. Like her hair. Twirly and layered like Europe noodles. He reclosed his eyes. Ohhh look everyone – here comes Queen Dee…all hail her fancy pasta hair. He smirked.

Next to him, he felt Dee struggle to extract her leg out from beneath the couch throw. She did this in fractional movements – not wanting to wake him. That’s what Charlie assumed at least. Hah, well, too late for that…he’d woken up two minutes ago when Dee cracked like a dozen joints in two seconds.

Still, he appreciated the gesture…he didn’t want them to officially wake up either. 

Under the guise of unintentional sleep movement, he decided to test the waters – undoing their interlocked elbows, Charlie stretched his arm outward – nudging the side of Dee’s ribs. Her breathing paused for a half second – before Dee used her legs to lift her frame, allowing Charlie’s arm to continue beneath her.

Charlie was holding his breath now – Dee could flip over the couch and head for her own bed…leaving Charlie in a position to get his shoes on, steal some apples and dish soap – and then sneak home. Or…

Gently, Dee began to replace her frame’s weight onto Charlie’s outstretched arm – rearranging herself so as to face him. Charlie felt a waitress-y flutter – and without premeditation, cupped Dee’s back. She stopped breathing for a moment again.

In the same falsely sleepy movements Charlie had just employed – Dee folded inward – flopping one arm onto his chest, and resting her head on his shoulder. Charlie used a fake yawn as an excuse to squeeze her closer, and move both of them further into the couch.

Dee letting him do this provoked a flutter that was even stronger – and which somehow managed to sustain itself. It was acutely waitress-y. Charlie couldn’t speak if he wanted to.

Ohhh shit. This is going you bite you guys in the ass so bad…He shook it off – there’d be plenty of time to deal with that later.

Instead, Charlie let himself nod off again.

He supposed the dolly couch wasn’t so bad. Sure, it was no futon…but he had enough space, didn’t he? And Dee…Deeeeeee…well, she was no pair of long underwear.

Still…he was definitely warm enough, right?

--

Dee peered sideways at the smirk hiding under Charlie’s “asleep” face.  

Hah. You aren’t fooling anyone – Charlie.

Not that she could talk. Although she knew Charlie was pretending to sleep, she also knew that he knew she was pretending to sleep.

Whatever...Sleeping, not sleeping – same difference.

Unconsciously, Dee settled her face into Charlie’s shoulder – and as he gripped her, she felt the same buzz which had lit her up last night.

Let’s not think about it. Instead, she focused on the moment...the warmth, her stupidly confident sense of safety – the sound of their breathing, the smell of their…

Dee crinkled her nose.

Charlie’s hair…smells like dish soap. Her dish soap. Has he…? Dee didn’t have to finish asking herself the question. Of course he has.

Suppose it’s better than nothing.

Dee sighed, deciding to follow Charlie’s cue – and actually fall asleep again.  

He’s stronger than you expected…seemed all that rat bashing, sewer traversing, and under-the-bridge pillaging yielded more than blood, rings, coins, and denim. Charlie Kelly…a product of the modern rat-apologist’s gym.

Well, whatever he was doing…it’s effective.

Goddammit Charlie.

--

When did looking like a bird become a bad thing anyway? Charlie watched his sneakers kick gravel as he took the long way home. It was dangerous to lack peripheral vision this early in the morning, but Charlie only had himself to lose.

In other words – you ain’t got nuttin, partna. Unperturbed, Charlie shook away the beratement voiced (for some reason) by his inner Oil Tycoon. Didn’t matter. He’d be able to huff his head quiet soon enough. Somewhere, a Carolina chickadee was chick-a-dee-dee-deeing. Charlie harmonized with its last note, releasing a high Deeeee in a low voice. It was a nice sound.

He shook his head again, this time in incredulity. Seriously man – what was wrong with birds?

Birds could do all kinds of impressive shit. Like fucking fly, for one.

Charlie kicked a rock into a passing sewer grate. It was a cool shape, but he didn’t want to bring it home without discussing it with Frank first. This way he’d know where to find it.

And even when birds couldn’t fly, they always had wings – which basically was them telling the world “Yeah…my ancestors could totally fly and shit…it was sweet, but eventually they like transcended the whole ‘migration’ scene and decided to settle down.”

Charlie reached into his pocket and pulled out an apple he’d lifted from the shimmery bowl on Dee’s kitchen table. Deeee. Pausing to examine its color in the early daybreak, Charlie smiled at how the apple gleamed purple – a product of the blue dish soap covering the apple’s red. It was a nice color. Sure, maybe he should have squirted the soap in a different pocket than the one he was using to hold apples – but hey, if you had done that, you might never have made accidental-pocket-purple.

Not wanting to waste the soap, Charlie rubbed the apple in his hair. If he was lucky, he’d get splashed by a passing truck, and his hair would be washed before he got home. He started to eat the apple, residual soap and all. Mac would be freaking out…but maybe the soap counteracts the apple-skin’s toxins? Whatever. Charlie did poison all the time. Ate it…drank it…huffed it…pretty much every day.

Not last night though...not before he and Dee had –

Deee. When he’d left her sleeping, she was a high D flat plucked on a harp – chipper, but bittersweet. That sad kind of happy…that was Dee this morning – all bendy and long and asleep on her tiny couch.

Charlie felt a flush of heat through his system as he recalled just how bendy her arms and legs proved to be. Like one of those Jacob’s ladders things…they just kept folding and folding and folding and folding…all around him. Clinging and bending…to – toward – him.

He’d looked at her a long while after filling up his pockets with apples and soap. She hadn’t woken, and to Charlie, her sleeping form seemed the tiniest bit hopeful. Because at that point, Dee didn’t 100% know yet that she’d be waking up alone…maybe she 98% knew, maybe even 99% – but until she woke up, she couldn’t know for sure.

Looking at her then, Charlie hadn’t known for sure either.

You could just get back in the couch. Or he could make breakfast – turn on some music, and greet Dee with a sweet def rhyme whenever she finally awoke…

It’s daybreak – so we break fast – burning bread on a grill – for a taste that’ll last –

And then she could keep it going – and drop a sweet line of her own. It could happen. If he just stayed, if she just let him. He knew it was possible…so why did it seem so pointless?

Instead – for reasons he looked forward to never understanding – Charlie had shoved a couple pieces of bread into Dee’s toaster, set out two plates and glasses, and left.

Shit.

At this point, Charlie was rounding the alley corner near his building. Swallowing the last of the apple core, he chewed on the stem for a little while – checking for tastes he knew he wouldn’t find – before spitting it onto the sidewalk. A pigeon waddling nearby gave the stem a couple experimental pecks, likely discovering the non-taste with which Charlie was already well-acquainted. No shame in trying, buddy…

Charlie started up his building’s stoop. Birds were birds. Some were scrappy survivors, others ass kicking patriots – some were simple and pretty, others complicated and weird.

And some were all of the above…

He was in his room now. Without a thought, Charlie grabbed his glue and took a deep breath inwards.

It was like inhaling the light that came to your eyes and head when you stood up too fast – except it lasted longer, and tinted everything with cheap euphoria. Charlie laid down.

The window’s brightness spilled outside across his vision, now unconfined by its parameters. Soon the rest of the room’s colors followed suit…abandoning their objects – merging into and out-of one another with increasing frequency. In the swirling, Charlie saw all sorts of wings – a flock tessellated overhead. Flapping and flapping and flapping…

Nah…there…there was nothing wrong with birds.

He passed out wondering about the marketability of dish soap covered fruit, assuming the soap made the fruit an awesome color.

--

Somewhere not too far away, Dee woke up to the smell of burnt toast.

Huh.

She ate it.

1.

thank u for asking!!

how did you get into the show?

this is gonna be long because i have a complex history with the show and i love talking about it hehe

when i was 15, my friend showed me the nightman cometh and i thought it was hilarious! she then showed me some more great episodes like chardee macdennis, the dennis system, and the waitress is getting married (from what i can remember), and i was convinced to start the show.

i thought the early seasons were okay but kind of cringe and offensive and i really hated the characters so it was hard for me to get into the show. but it was still funny enough for me to keep watching. i think i stopped around season 10 after getting a bit bored with it since i still didn't like the characters.

then maybe a year or so later, i finished what was released of the show (season 13) and started rewatching some episodes i remember liking, and i started liking the show more.

then i started dating this guy when i was 19 who really loved it, and i watched the new season with him (season 14) and rewatched a bunch of episodes with him as well (it was one of the shows we had on in the background while we had sex kajshakjh and some episodes were really bad for that ☠️☠️☠️ (think the gagging scene in the world series defense)).

after that, i would rewatch episodes whenever i had nothing to watch for like the next two years, but i still didn't like the characters that much, i just found the show really funny.

then in december of 2021, i discovered the podcast, and started falling in love with rcg (i had a month-long honeymoon phase where i was blind to their problems), mostly glenn, and saw the show in a whole new light. i started liking the characters because i understood what they were doing, and falling for dennis because of how attractive i started finding him akjsdhasjkdh. once i discovered macdennis compilations on youtube and started reading fanfiction, i was done for. the really intense obsession began.

i think it took me a long time to get obsessed because my usual tv show obsessions are due to me falling in love with one character and projecting onto another character that i ship them with. and since it took me forever to fall for dennis, the obsession was quite a slow build. but i really resonated with what glenn said on the podcast, about how sometimes when you put in more work to like something, you like it so much more than things that you like right away.

[trashangel-dee]

chardee prompt: the second time they hook up and it's again kinda in the heat of the moment but it's also sad and a lil hearbreaking because the first time they could've passed it off as a fluke but now that it's happened again they both kinda know that it's gonna become an issue and they can't have that and dee tries to like force herself to break charlie's heart afterwards but he doesn't give up on her :'(

10 months later, and here it is! (the date is listed as November 7)

Sorry it took so long. I don’t know if you’ll even see this, but hope you enjoy!

Dee leans back into the couch. Breathing slowing returning to normal, post sex high quickly turning to regret. She had banged Charlie. Again. And it was good. Again.

It’s almost too reminiscent of the last time this happened. They were having a nice time, just the two of them. Things were so calm; no schemes or ulterior motives, just each other’s company. Then the air turned from light and carefree to heavy with tension.  

Goddamn, maybe it’s the couch. She’s just going to have to burn it. Maybe that’ll end this. Some twisted force draws them to it, like moths to light.

She shuts her eyes for a moment, willing this to go away. When she opens them, she can see Charlie to her left, silently watching. He looks fidgety. She can tell that he wants to say something but looks nervous.  "What?” She asks roughly.  

“You, uh.. you looked really pretty.”

Oh. She wasn’t expecting that. They had spent almost every night together the past week, usually at work, and had gotten along really well. But they hadn’t gone so far as to compliment each other.  

“Right,” she huffs in annoyance. She could anticipate different words, like hot or sexy. Normal things to call someone you just had sex with. But, pretty? She never gets called that, and it elicits a weird, fluttery feeling in her chest.  

Dee reaches on the floor for her shirt. She can feel his eyes on her, and she can’t tell if he’s checking her out, or waiting to see what’s next. She grabs it, and is about to pull it over her head when she realizes it’s not hers. The little reminder makes the situation worse.

She shoves the garment at him, and strides into her bedroom to find some clothes.When she emerges, she’s surprised to find Charlie sitting on the couch, fully dressed now, picking at a beer bottle.  

“Why are you still here?” She asks.

He shrugs. “Should we talk about it?”  

“There’s nothing to talk about, Charlie. I needed to get laid. You were here. It’s simple.”

“Right. Yeah,” he nods. He’s quiet for a moment and Dee can tell he wants to say more. He continues, unprompted this time. “It’s just, this keeps happening. Maybe it means something, you know?”

“It means-,” Dee starts, but she doesn’t know how to finish that thought. She doesn’t know what it means. If she even wants it to know.  

Dee rubs her temples. “I can’t deal with this right now.”

“So, I guess I should go?” He asks  

Dee nods. It’s not like she was planning for him to spend the night anyway.  

———

It’s too early to be at the bar, Dee thinks, but it’s better than being at her apartment. She’ll hide out at Paddy’s for a while, away from that couch that brings back too many memories. She hadn’t slept much anyway, feeling strangely alone, interweaved with thoughts of regret and what ifs.

She walks behind the bar, reaching for a beer. Dee’s just popped the cap off when she jumps at the door opening. Charlie walks in, freezing upon seeing her.  

"What are you doing here?” Dee asks. She had planned on being alone for a few hours. It seems Charlie was thinking the same thing.  

“I got some work to do in the basement. Before everyone got here.”

Dee nods stiffly.  

“Why are you here?” he asks.

She couldn’t be in her apartment, be around the tiny couch they somehow fit on together. Where their bodies worked in effortless synchronicity. And why should she drink her own beers when there’s free ones right here? Dee doesn’t answer the question.  

“How long are you going to avoid me?” Charlie presses, like he’s trying to pick a fight. Still no response. He starts towards the basement, but turns back towards her, saying in a softer tone, “You know, if you ever wanted to do it again. I’d be okay with it.”

The silence Dee had been fighting to hold lets go. “Goddammit, Charlie. Am I supposed to be flattered? That you’d be okay with banging me again?”

“No, I-”

“Or… Or is it that I’m such a giant whore you can just use me?”

“No,” he protests, “it’s not that.” Charlie glances at the floor then back up to Dee. He speaks slowly, carefully. “Doing that with you. It makes me feel good.” The look she gives him makes Charlie realize he said something wrong. “Not just my dick. But in my head, and my heart.”  

She’s not leaving or arguing, and Charlie takes the opportunity to continue. “I’m just saying, we could just… keep doing what we’re doing. It’s good, right? We’ll still be friends. Just ones who bang sometimes.”

It could be really good, she thinks. Time alone with Charlie was becoming one of her favorite things. Ever since they agreed to be nice to each other. The other thing was good, too. The way he kissed back, with no hesitation or convincing. The way he breathed her name. She wonders if he’s thought about it as much as she has.  

She needs to shove it down, and talking to him is the opposite of that. Dee walks from behind the bar, moving from table to table, wiping them more precisely than normal. She’s ignoring him. Charlie follows, disregarding her standoffish body language.

“Jesus, Dee. Will you stop that,” he grabs her arm, exasperated, “I’m trying to have a conversation here.”

She remembers that feeling too well; is too familiar with how his warm hands felt on her bare skin. Those memories she’s trying to push down come flowing back. Charlie’s hands sliding up her back, fidgeting with her bra clasp. Pulling her legs tighter around him. Cupping her face with a tenderness she didn’t know he was capable of.  

“Don’t touch me,” she snaps, yanking her arm away.  

“Did I do something wrong? I thought we had a good time. I mean you seemed into it.”

She finally looks at him, and it confirms exactly why she was avoiding it. He doesn’t look mad. He looks hurt. He looks confused.

“I’m sorry, okay? Can we just go back to normal?” His tone softens, but that manages to sting the most. “I don’t want to lose you.”

Dee looks around to make sure nobody can hear her, even though the bar is empty. He’s calm, and his lack of arguing is making her angry. They always say that they’re going to team up, too. Have their own version of The Dynamic Duo, but it never lasts. They sober up. Self- preservation always takes over.

“You know why we can’t do this, Charlie? You want to know why? Because it would never work. Whatever the fuck idea you have in that stupid head of yours, just stop it. The guys already give me enough shit, and I don’t need any reason for them to treat me worse. You’re so spineless around them that you’re going to take their side every goddamn time. You couldn’t even stand up for me if you wanted.” She jabs a finger at him, adding,  “Not that I need you to.”

She continues, the words coming out on their own.“They’re barely your friends, Charlie. The only reason they keep you around is you’re dumb enough to fall into their tricks. They only put up with you to use you for jobs that are too disgusting for any normal person. You can’t even read and always screw it up for the rest of us. You’re a liability.” Some of it hurts to say. She knows he feels almost as put out as she does. But it’s better to just stop whatever this is before it can start. It’s only going to hurt more when it inevitably fails.  

Dee inhales, and finishes her rant. “You can’t even get the waitress. Do you know how low you have to be if she’s too good for you? I know I’m not pretty and am a bird or a whore or whatever you want to call me. But I deserve better than whatever you think you can offer. I’m never going to want you.” She can feel tears burning at her eyes, but they’re not going to fall. She’s gotten good at not crying over the years.

Charlie stares at her for a moment, as if to patiently ask are you done?, then shakes his head.  "Nah. I don’t buy it.“

Charlie looks completely uneffected. He’s spent two decades obsessing over and stalking one woman. He’s been called the worst possible things by her. Yet, he hasn’t given up. He has some twisted, yet unbreakable, notion of love and romance. She recognizes that look in his eyes.  

There’s no way in hell Dee is going to let him go that extreme, but goddamn, if she doesn’t like the idea of being chased.

[0stentatia]

Chardee + “Am I not good enough for you?”

“Am I not good enough for you?”

The words cut her like knives. 

Charlie stood before her in the doorway of her apartment. His eyes were bloodshot and his hair was a mess but he seemed to be completely sober. He didn’t take his eyes off her as he waited for an answer. 

“Wha.. What?” She said hesitantly.

“Am I not good enough for you?” He repeated, more firmly this time. 

Dee just stared at him, anxiety starting to flood her veins. 

“Because I feel like... I feel like I am...” He went to cross his arms over his chest but stopped halfway and dropped them at his sides again, “I’m not really sure about a lot of things, Dee. I doubt myself a lot and, and I think sometimes that maybe there’s something seriously wrong with me,” His voice wavered a bit but he continued anyway, “But.. But I’ve been thinking about it and I feel like I am good enough for you. I think that I really am.”

“Charlie, I--”

“I don’t feel like you’re giving me a chance like, I feel like you’re looking at me like stupid, gross Charlie who, who just kills rats and and and, and doesn’t know big words and sometimes makes bad choices,” He started gesturing with his hands as he talked in normal Charlie fashion, “But you’re not looking at me like, like Charlie who, who really really cares about you and who would do anything for you and who just wants you to be happy, you know?” 

His words tugged at her heart and she felt her throat tightening, making it hard to breath. He didn’t give her a chance to say anything. 

“I think you think that I’m just someone that you can hook up with and not think about my feelings and if I care or not, or if I feel anything about you,” Charlie shifted on his feet, “But I have feelings, Dee. I really do have feelings and and, I have a lot of feelings about you. And I don’t think it’s fair for you to just, to just count me out and think you can just use me.”

“Charlie I would never--,” She attempted to speak but he cut her off again. 

“Yes you would, Dee. Because that’s what you’ve been doing. You you, you invite me over and we drink a few beers and then we fool around and and, and then you just kick me out and you avoid me at the bar and you don’t talk to me again until you want me to, to come over and do it all over again,” 

His words were a wake up call to her, because she hadn’t even realized what she’d been doing. She truly hadn’t even thought twice about her behavior. She hadn’t thought that he would care that much. That seemed to be Charlie’s point, exactly. 

“I can’t do that anymore. I can’t take it. I haven’t been sleeping and, and I haven’t been eating and I’ve been feeling like absolute shit, tearing myself apart over how I feel and how you treat me,” His voice was thick, like he was about to start crying. Dee didn’t think she would be able to take seeing him cry. 

“It kills me every time you kick me out and avoid eye contact with me and just.. Just treat me like I’m stupid garbage until you want attention again,” He shook his head, “I can’t do it anymore.. I know that I’m good enough for you, Dee. I know it. And if you don’t think so well then, then I guess I can’t change your mind. But I can’t do this,” He gestured between the two of them, “Anymore if you’re gonna treat me like you have been..”

He swallowed and shook his head. 

“It’s just not fair,” He whispered. 

Before she even had a chance to address anything he said, he was turning away and walking down the hallway of her apartment complex. It felt like her stomach was full of rocks and her heart was about to explode. 

“Charlie, wait!” She stepped into the hallway and called after him. 

He didn’t look back as he entered the elevator and left her behind.
