Haha, attraction is so weird. Like, bro is literally not functioning because somebody else exists. Bro is willing to give everything away for somebody. Bro goes crazy because of “feelings towards somebody else”.

From an (my) aromantic and asexual point of view, this almost sounds completely made up😂

i'd super appreciate reblogs for this one just to get input from a wider audience!

#the first one #the third one #the fourth one #sometimes it works perfectly fine with only the first one #(or third one) #but other times it’s nice with a little excerpt as well to get a sense of the author’s writing style #like the back of a physical book #it usually gives you both an excerpt and a brief summary without spoiling anything #I believe the summary should- #-leave a promise of what’s to come #and not spoil/ go too much into detail

anyone else going tmr?!

#yes I am!!! #aka today haha #I’m incredibly excited

Today I found out that people apparently want to sacrifice things for those they love. It’s apparently seen as a token for how much you love somebody—if you are willing to sacrifice something for somebody you love romantically then that’s seen as so real and strong—

Let me tell you that I’ve never felt that way. Never fucking ever have I wanted to sacrifice something for someone, to make myself feel bad in order to show some gratitude, or love.

Sounds stupid, if you’re asking me. Keep yourselves happy, babes.

Happy Valentine's, babes!

To celebrate, here's a little MacDennis edit I made a few nights ago.

The song is called The Movie of Us, written by me (hehe) and it's inspired by MacDennis (hence the references) and it's written from Mac's point of view. A kind song about not-so-kind people.

Aaaaand it's up, bitches! Here's my contribution for the MacDennis Valentine's Day Party 2023—and yes, I'm officially outing myself on ao3.

This work depicts tons of feelings and the concept is inspired by You Are In Love by Taylor Swift. @buffalochickenpizza ‘s post inspired parts of the fic as well.

Go read it if you feel like it!

If I could meet the art, not the artist;

Though the artist must be awesome because they created you

#I’m having thoughts about Mac #my baby #iasip #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #always sunny #iasip mac #mac mcdonald #he has really Stockholm syndrome-d the hell out of me #but do you see me complaining? #i love him #in some way #there’s a full song I’ve written with those two lines in it by the way #spoiler alert: the song’s about Mac #he just fucking does something to be bro #idk how to describe it #but it’s there

This song is inspired by @mcelhenneyarms 's post. Go read it, it's such a beautiful insight on Dennis' feelings and I felt extremely inspired to write a song about it. So here it is and it's called On Repeat, made by (as previously intended) me. I really hope you'll enjoy this song!

The song is played on an acoustic steel-stringed guitar and doesn't have any other sort of production to it; it's me singing and it's me playing the guitar, simple as that. This, as well as the fact that you can "hear the strings getting played" creates a very raw feeling to it, which I deemed very fitting for the topic. And while I didn't add anything else than that to the recording the dynamic is still purposely changing between every part; in the way I play the guitar and in the way I sing.

It's entirely controlled by feelings, which I hope is evident in the song; the dynamic is closely connected to every feel of the words and to the feel of every line.

The song is in E major and the chord progression is quite easy; it switches between the first chord of the scale (E in this case), to the fourth chord of the scale (A in this case) and back to the first chord.

This progression was inspired by the chord progression in Saturdays by Louis Tomlinson, a very lyrically strong song as well as really cool dynamics.

The song ends on an A major, the fourth chord of the scale, which leaves the ending feeling "unfulfilled" in a way because it doesn't end "at home", which would be an E in this case (the first chord of the scale). I did this intentionally because the lyrics at the end go "now press the button, play it on repeat", which is both a reference to the start of the song when a movie is playing on repeat as well as a symbol for the end of the post that inspired this song, when it's mentioned that these things that happen are reoccurring. This also fits well with the phrase "on repeat", because it feels like the song "should" continue after the chord.

It's not the most "unstable" chord of the scale (which would be the fifth chord, in this case a B, because this chord really "wants to" lead back to the first chord, an E in this case, and usually doesn't stand on its own in that way) but it's not the first chord, so while it's not extremely unstable it's still some sort of longing for a continuation, hence, it playing on repeat.

I also want to say that even though the song is done now, there might (as per usual) be a few changes here and there as I continue to play the song and as the melody becomes more certain and the lyrics too. But this is one version of the song. (This means that I might update it as everything grows even more solid.)

Anyway, I believe that was what I wanted to say theory-wise, so here are the lyrics of the song and the recording is at the top of the post. Once again, enjoy!

***

On Repeat

It's another highschool night of another basement Another time watching the sky turn blue The movie's been hit, once again, on replay And I'm crammed on a couch between you two

The guy on my right never knew his dad His mother's affectionate but most likely sad From his uncle he should stay away Never says a word about it, but I relate anyway

Others call him names and force him to eat spiders I still laugh at the punchline made of his name But I know him as the guy who’s gone through it all We’re the same, in a way

The guy on my left is dealing drugs His mom only speaks through frowns and grunts But he makes himself heard through breaking things Making people sure of what’s happening

A framed photo is placed in the hallway With his dad and his mom who had a smile on her face He tells me his father’s in prison But it’s alright ‘cause there’s love left in their family anyway

I call him annoying every day That I hate him over and over again But I know him as the guy who feels too much but still acts brave We’re the same, in a way

It’s the summer after high school when I was almost sure that I loved them But I’m heading off to college now Don’t wanna leave you two behind

The light catches in streaks on dirty windows Blurs the colors just like tears I’m not even sure that I'm crying Think there’s nothing left in me

So I try to make it up For all the days we’d spend together But it ends with nights in tears And lonely thoughts that last forever

Why couldn’t I have fun without them? Through hazy nights that have been laced with something But twenty girls can’t make up For the lack of two guys who took my heart

And it’s waking up the dormant feelings With nightmare-like thrashing and screaming And twenty girls but just one guy Is enough for me to make me cry

It’s the break between semesters and I’m finally back at home again And they’re hugging me But I just feel sick

But I stuff it down enough for them A make-believe façade because They’d call it something stupid, just like guilt

We decide to buy a bar together I drop out of college for the better Making plans to move in with the guy on my left To finally move out of my parents’ house And hope to never see my dad again

It’s decades later but now I’m watching everything fall somehow The ones I trusted all the time Stole everything that was supposed to be mine

The guy on my right is my father’s favorite They spend every waking minute together But when he finally finds his real dad My own asks me to get his favorite back

And in the grand scheme of things When the guy on my left struggled with his identity His own dad leaves but mine stays right there Has a breakthrough and now he understands

Despite the shit he did to me Blaming me excessively Thin-veiled comments about my style Or makeup and clothes and all that kind

He accepts him for who he is, but never me Wasn’t there to watch it happen But now it doesn’t fucking matter Because he never cared, not about anything

Left me out to dry when I needed him the most When I wasn’t useful anymore he ditched me, but at what cost? Berated, terrorized and emotionally neglected me Don’t you dare to do it anymore

And so the movie ends The story finishes Now press the button, play it on repeat

Listen to this song and think about MacDennis. Everything fits like a hand to the glove: the drama, the toxicity, the danger of a true romance.

It captures MacDennis in all their poisonous glory. Every single corner of these lyrics and how it’s sung, every part of it screams them.

Wait I’m curious. Reblog and tell me in the tags when you started shipping macdennis (what episode, what happened, the moment you realized something was Afoot).

#I’m a little unsure which episode it was #but let’s say it was along the lines of 12x06 (Hero or Hate Crime) #because somewhere around that time I thought back on 10x06 (The Gang Misses the Boat) #and thought of Chardee MacDennis actually #and felt that it was just *logical* for Macdennis to happen #it was pure logic!!!!!! #and fucking hell after 12x07 (PTSDee) #& 12x08 (The Gang Tends Bar) #I was incredibly amazed #because h0ly sh1t it was practically already canon #I think I’ve mapped out all the Macdennis episodes in my head after rewatching everything #give me a season and I’ll tell you which episode was Macden #or just gay in general I think I’ve got that too #macdennis

That dude Stockholm Syndrome-d me harder than I’d anticipated—it’s true

But even if he’s a horrible lil bitch, the horrible lil bitch is still a person who kinda deserves to be loved (especially after the childhood thing) (bro deserves happiness)

Sorry not sorry for exposing @tangerinestilettos . A conversation we just had:

Him: *rants about how hot Mac is* I feel like I’m objectifying him

Me: Nah, it’s fine, he’s a psycho fictional character

Him: My god, the Stockholm Syndrome’s kicking in. I care about that bitch
