i feel like a lot of people would think if Mac got another 'Mac Day' that he would make Dennis kiss him or go on a date with him or something along those lines because nobody can say 'no' to a gang member when it is their day.
I however really dont think he would. The fact he loves Dennis so fucking much makes me feel he wouldn't want to force him to do any of those things because he wants it to be genuine so bad.
Dennis probably expects, now that Mac is out-out, that the next Mac Day will be him being forced to kiss him/sleep with him/etc, but I genuinely think that Mac would avoid anything like that because he wants it to be real, not just because it's Mac Day.
"Mac Gets Clean" an episode where Mac decides to try to go sober. This is my Always Sunny pitch. I think it would be great because Mac would be the absolute most annoying dude in recovery ever. He'd constantly be lecturing everyone about God and bragging, it could even last as a running joke. He could have like super obnoxious weirdo recovery friends and try to convert the bar to a dry bar. Throw Cricket into the mix.
Also Mac needs some boyfriend plots. Just the worrrrst boyfriends. Or like one where the boyfriend is amazing but the gang fucks it up.
dennis & dee are so MEAN & it’s literally always funny. don’t get me wrong the gang are all horrible people. frank is deranged & gross, charlie is mostly just living in his own reality, mac is deluded & lives by his own misguided principals but dennis & dee are BULLIES. I mean there’s more to it ofc dennis is narcissistic & self obsessed & dee is so lost in her insecurities & anger issues that she takes them out on other people but also they are just playground bullies. they purposefully set their friend up to get his ass beaten publicly & delight in his humiliation while the others go along but feel vaguely weird. dennis & dee are just mean spirited & cruel people (I say this with love in my heart I love all the gang & always cheer for them being awful but especially dennis & dee)
i love how when country mac comes out to dee, dennis, and frank they’re all like slightly surprised and kinda confused and charlie is just like “dude that’s soooo refreshing 🙄 yeah speak your truth, pick up some guys”. i love that little greasy goblin. he’s so woke. sometimes.
"what if we shot a RPG and stared at the explosions like new years fireworks and then we lay in the long grass and maybe for a moment we were in love in the way the long grass loves sunlight and not in love in the way a rocket loves to explode" -Kath, who got to see this piece earlier than anyone else, who's words stuck with me like they tend to do <3
