Thinking about Mac and his family and his christmases at everyone’s home but his own. Thinking about how when him and Dee raise a baby his idea of what a father is entails not taking care of your kid. Thinking of little Mac putting on mismatched socks and getting bullied for wearing the same clothes over and over because no one’s home to do the laundry. Thinking about how Mac and Charlie went through a specific brand of bullying in high school because sure Dennis wasn’t super well liked and Dee had the back brace but they weren’t two poor kids that people could always sense something was wrong with. They didn’t do karate moves when they got excited or not understand social cues. Thinking about Charlie freaking out about change because suddenly his best friend has a new best friend and yeah a trio is great but their dynamic will never be the same again. Thinking about the group dealing with always being a little too “off” of Dennis being made fun of for freaking out because of the loud noise during fire drills at school, of the substances Charlie had to turn to as a kid, of how Mac spent years hating himself and who he was, that his faith just gave him an excuse to be even crueler to himself.
Mostly though, I’m thinking of these gay ass bitches AGAIN and I needed to share my thoughts.
