#iasip watch tag

[23meteorstreet]

you could tell me that literally anything happens in sunny and i’d believe you but if you’d have told me when i started season 1 that after mac comes out he immediately starts having dreams about almost kissing dennis i wouldn’t have believed you

#think someone basically made this post the other day but holy shit #iasip watch tag #usually when people talk about ships being real or w/e it's just like... two guys that are friends and act normal #and that's cool and all but like... #this was a show that started out as dumb edgy satire #and now mac genuinely has a crush on dennis #when you put it like that it just sounds too good to be true

i have gone entire years of my life without watching “the gang tends bar” because while the ending is lovely, i have never been able to look dennis’ discomfort throughout the episode directly in the eye; his desire to be known, the loneliness, the angst there. in the final few scenes, glenn conveys something few actors can, and that’s the devastation of being fundamentally misunderstood. no one does tragedy like america’s longest running live-action sitcom.

#there have truly been multi-year stints where i haven’t been able to watch this episode #because it twists something deep down in my gut #i know i’m not saying anything new here #but my goodness #iasip #putting this in the general tag because i want you to come find me and talk to me about the gang tends bar #please talk to me about tgtb i will talk about it for HOURS #the gang tends bar #dennis reynolds #shut up erin

so i rewatched Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day and i decided to count how many times the word “system” is said. i counted fifteen (15) but there is a small chance that i double counted when he’s on the phone with Daisy cuz i got distracted. someone plz verify this number for me plz. if i double counted that one, then the number is fourteen (14) which would lead to a whole different post. but for now i’ll just talk about the prominence of “system” and not the number. it is said enough in the episode that we can assume it’s not just a coincidence and is certainly a callback to The D.E.N.N.I.S. System and the S.I.N.N.E.D. System. now Dennis’s systems for attracting both involve manipulation but they are very different and we can kinda see that reflected in his fantasy. he is very kind and understanding with the women he imagines. he apologizes frequently and tries to speak gently with them. most importantly he emphasizes how they are all victims of a system they did not create. he says this to the boba tea girl; they’re both victims of the system, specifically her, and he says that neither one of them created it. but he did create this imaginary system that she is the victim of in the same way he created the real D.E.N.N.I.S. System which women are victims of. and when Dennis does apply his system to get some girl just to torment and ultimately ditch her, we do feel bad for them and we do consider them victims of his system. by having Dennis apologize to this imaginary women for being victims of an uncontrollable system, this could be interpreted as him being aware that the way he treats women is shit and he feels guilty. he doesn’t go after any women in season 16. maybe he’s given up chasing women half his age but isn’t ready for women his age. i mean he’s gotten married and had a kid but neither of those normal domestic milestones kept him. he always goes back to the gang. then we have the S.I.N.N.E.D. System. it’s all about really building up and man then breaking him down into someone who’s just kinda putty in your hands. i mean there’s the obvious mommy issues/kink thing but ultimately it’s about reeling in and keeping a man long term. to use this system, you actually have to be interested in a man more than how the D.E.N.N.I.S. System just focuses on a single encounter and cutting ties completely. a man attracted by Dennis’ system isn’t a victim in this case. he is just a guy entering the dating phase of a relationship. the men Dennis encounters in his fantasy are similarly not treated like victims. Dennis is a little more annoyed with them specifically. he complains about the cop asking him to leave his car (a decision not enforced by a system but rather an individual), he gets very snappy with the phone store guy much more so than we see with the women employees, and of course he rips the CEO’s heart out. he does not feel bad for these men. men are not victims in his mind.

now if there were fourteen (14) instances of the word “system” being used in this episode i could make the obvious leap to Klinsky but for now this is all my brain could think of

#i feel like i’m just stating facts but it’s late rn #just wanted to get this out here cuz that ep makes me have Big Feelings and such #and i love to talk about dennis #i’m like one of those birds that gets a different egg in their nest and cares for that chick instead of its own chicks #yeah this is an anime blog but lemme tell you about my pathetic sopping wet son he was born in a cardboard box all alone #i have many thoughts on the other characters but this was at the surface of my mind cuz i just watched it #i had a different post in mind but this is slightly lighter #lemme know if i need to add any tw tags #dtamhd #dennis reynolds #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #iasip

i find dennis' toxic love for the gang sooo interesting. the lengths he goes through to ensure that their group dynamic never changes. the amount of planning he puts in implies that this is one of his fears– how they might one day change and abandon him.

an example of this would be in "frank retires" where he had formed the franquito plan seven years before he needed to use it, which felt devious (towards frank) to charlie, dee and mac, but dennis had justified it by saying he just didn't want them to change. the ending had dennis acting like he didn't mean a word he said, but i doubt it, because just a few episodes before (the gang misses the boat) he concluded that he just wanted things to stay normal in the gang after a minor freakout about how they're all gradually getting more and more insane staying in the bar together.

dennis resisting change is a consistent theme for his character. he does not want the gang to live in virtual realities, charlie to get smart, mac and dee to leave, mac's mom to stay with them, mac to connect with his dad, dee to actually be successful, mac to be so forward in his advances, frank to retire, etc etc. because he already likes the gang so much the way it is.

that is, unless he personally seeks the change. he could get married in a day, because he wanted to. he could kick mac out. he could leave the gang and start a family. he could change his car to a more modern one. but each time he tries to change and leave, he comes back to the gang... and his range rover.

and this is why he seems to hate them too, because most of his hatred comes from his resentment from loving them too much and being unable to leave. and the love he has for them is toxic, because he wants to drag them down together with him. the s13 narrative wants us to know that he's the main reason the gang stays the same for 16 seasons.

it's what makes dennis takes a mental health day so notable to me though. the commentary on systems throughout the episode, and how dennis is sick of it. dennis' rejection of technology when it takes away real life interactions, parallels the episode "charlie rules the world" in s6 which was the major turning point for dennis developing a god complex (where british dennis tells him that 'you create your own reality'). i believe dtamhd will also be a turning point for dennis, perhaps where he starts letting things go without putting as much control (systems) because he wants to live in a reality where he doesn't need to do these things anymore.

#probably has been said before too lmao #like u see. he isnt against technology when it gets him and his friends closer #like a modern tv is cool #bc he could watch shows w his buddies #a groupchat is annoying but fine too #he was glued to his phone in mac n charlie writes a movie but it was ultimately to write his own movie for the gang #like dennis loves the gang so much eventho he would neveeeeer admit #like yeah hes using them too but he loves hanging out w them #also kinda made me think of the johnny thingy #imo just another example of the lengths dennis goes through to make sure their dynamic doesnt change tbh #bc as we know it mac is actively searching for boyfriends himself which is a no no #bc if dennis isnt there to actively monitor the progress of the relationship then itd be jover for him if mac leaves him for his bf #and thats why seeking a bf for mac is ok bc he has already inserted himself into the relationship as a middleman and can monitor it #and yeah catfishing mac is even better bc hed be in full control to make sure the relationship doesnt progress #he is also in love w mac but thats another convo #wait why did the tags slowly become mcdn... uh #whatever #iasip posting #dennis reynolds

There’s something I’ve been wondering for a while, sunny tumblr. I simply must know: why did you start watching iasip?

Let me know here!

#iasip #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #why did tumblr start watching iasip #<— that’s the tag i’ll be using for this if anyone wants to follow or block it

[feeisamarshmallow]

apparently I'm back on my great big sea x iasip bullshit??? but anyways i think of mac every time i hear the lyric:

"i could really use to lose my catholic conscience / 'cause i'm getting sick of feeling guilty all the time" in the song "consequence free".

that is all.

#iasip #fee talks music #fee watches iasip #do i need a great big sea x iasip tag now??? #guys i love gbs they're so good

[switchbladefightz]

[thegirlsread]

i’m getting whiplash from all the macdennis scenes in season 8, like mac trying to kiss dennis and dennis (brian) being okay with fucking the caddie. suddenly i’m sixteen again and watching destiel give me brain rot

#and the gang dines out!!! #iasip #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #dennis reynolds #mac mcdonald #is that how i should tag him? #i’m enjoying it but also know that it would have driven me insane to watch the episodes as they came out #I’m ​almost done with season 8 and i started the show two weeks ago #always sunny

[juniperhillpatient]

??? literally so fucking confused ‘cause I was nervous as hell to watch risk e rats since it seemed like tumblr was oh so divided & people either loved or hated the episode but to me it just seemed like a regular mid episode of sunny ??? that was literally just an average episode to me what the hell am I missing 😂

#sunny watch tag #risk e rat #iasip s16 #sunny sweet 16 #like I liked it it was pretty funny #I wouldn’t call it one of the best but it was from the worst #just a normal mid season episode #I’m literally so confused by the controversy lmao
