Your tags about charlie poisoning dee and frank compel me to mention that everytime someone mentions “dennis is a serial killer” near me I want to respond with “It’s more likely quick to anger and prone to rash decision making and holding grudges Charlie with his in depth knowledge of the sewer sytems and off the grid living would be a more prolific serial killer.”

NO STOP I . LITERALLY NO JOKE THAT IS MY EXACT SAME THOUGHT PROCESS LMAOOOOO-

CHARLIE BEING A SERIAL KILLER IS SO MUCH MORE FUN TO PLAY WITH. Like its ALL these little things in canon- HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE SEWER SYSTEMS/LIVING OFF THE GRID YESSS, his comment about Jamie Nelson drowning being said with what seems like... fondness???, the "Bad Room", his writing The Nightman Cometh all as a scheme to try n pressure the Waitress into accepting his proposal by making a play that's like "see i had a bad childhood so u should just forgive me for everything! im not so bad after all!!", the fact that his job requires him to slip into a dissociative state in order to constantly mercilessly maim living creatures that he canonically resonates/identifies with, his ability to manipulate people with ease in general with his initial charm, the various parallels made between Charlie and characters like Patrick Bateman and Norman Bates and Buffalo Bill....,

like idc i think charlie as a serial killer would be Way more interesting... just think abt Charlie Catches a Leprechaun! he's a natural! and it's so hypnotizing watching the man work that u kinda GO ALONG WITH IT until the rest of the gang snaps us out of it,

also i do think Charlie Day is very smart writing-wise and he'd totally think up a character like this that is a subversion of that "harmless manchild" trope and turn it on its head by giving it a pretty grim ending... like . he's 100% smart enough and talented to pull smth like that off LOL

and i dont want ppl to take this as me trying to trash Charlie, cuz as I just said-- that is an extremely difficult kind of character to pull off!!!! Talk about a slow burn.... I am fuckin praising the man for his writing/performance of Charlie Kelly cuz he is so fucking convoluted and complex n im obsessed and a twist like this would just b the cherry on top

#this is actually how they can bring s1-3 sunny back. a totally fucked up plot twist #doesnt even need to be serial killer shit cuz i hav other interpretations that are more mild but still painful #like charlie befriending frank turning out to be nothing more than a scheme for charlie to take all of franks money once he dies #much like how frank screwed over HIS old business partner to make his fortune. itd be everything 2 me #n i believe theres enough seeds planted thru the show to make this twist work #cat the butcher #id actually love to see a charden fic platonic or romantic where charlies a serial killer n dennis tries to act tough but it rlly freaks #him out n scares him more than he wants ppl to know n how he presents himself n covers for charlie. #he tries to act like hes just as capable of killing as charlie but hes so fucking useless w that shit in practice #(i guess u could argue the fire poker scene in suburbs or the axe in s15 #but s15 p much debunked that shit. he was 'too weak to even lift the axe' and he was delirious w his intent so its hard to pick apart) #anytime he tries to 'help' charlie it just gives charlie a headache #but dennis is so desperate to prove himself to charlie... n how that could end up. interestingggg
