season 16 macdennis

I can’t stop thinking about Dennis and Frank’s conversation in “Dee Sinks in a Bog”, where Dennis credits Frank for making him the way he is in regards to his coldness, repressed emotions, and everything with the murder hole.

Based on the particular arc that seems to have been set up for Dennis since Season 12 (with Tends Bar and Dennis’ Double Life), it feels like they are building towards something huge. It has been established that Dennis does in fact feel “big feelings”, and while he could’ve been acting, I don’t think he was, especially considering the RPG scene that directly followed.

Dennis has been repressing his emotions for an extremely long time. We see how his denial affects his physical health too, from his issues with food to his experience with covid. And then we get this moment between him and Frank that feels very intentional.

Mac and Charlie’s big cathartic moments (MFHP and The Gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain, respectively), both had to do with their fathers, and them finally letting go of their fathers. Dennis’ Double Life was a big episode, but I don’t think it was THE Dennis episode.

I believe that Dennis’ big episode (his MFHP equivalent, if you will) will be the Season 16 finale, in which he will finally confront Frank in some big way and let go of Frank’s expectations / judgments / worldview that Dennis confirmed in S15 that he still upholds to some degree.

Upon letting go of Frank’s (and Barbara’s) expectations, Dennis will finally be able to address the things that he’s been avoiding, such as his relationship with food, his own mortality and ability to get sick, and of course:

his complicated feelings

for 1 (one) Ronald MacDonald.

I truly believe that RCG are setting up an arc with Mac and Dennis, and my main evidence is this:

Despite 15 seasons of subtext, and 4 seasons of Mac being out and canonically in love with Dennis, nothing has ever happened between them. Charlie and the waitress have hooked up and gotten together multiple times. Dennis and Charlie even kissed onstage once.

It would be such an easy plot point to utilize. There are hundreds of ways in which they could’ve played MacDennis for laughs and had them kiss already by now. And if they weren’t planning on making MacDennis canon, I believe that they would have.

So why haven’t they done anything with Mac and Dennis yet?

Because they’re building up to it. And with Mac having gone on his identity arc in Season 15, put some distance between him and Dennis all season, and gotten a comment from Dee about getting a boyfriend, his arc for Season 16 seems clear as well.

Mac will move on and date someone else, and Dennis will repress his jealousy until he is able to let go of Frank’s parenting and finally accept his feelings for Mac.

And it’s going to be a love story for the ages.

I watched Mac Finds His Pride again,thinking about the fact that Mac's dad is the first to stand up (and walk away) while Mac is performing, but at the end Frank is the very last person to stand up in the whole room

For anyone concerned that next week’s finale seems worrisome, underwhelming, boring, or disappointing…I’d like you to cast your mind back to the trailer for Season 13 where in no way could we have predicted the ending we got.

I’m not making any predictions, but I think we’ll be just fine. (but also really not okay rn 🤧)

I was going to complain about them yet again not talking about the next episode on the podcast, but then they talked about Mac Finds His Pride for fifteen minutes and it’s like this episode was made for me

#it's always sunny in philadelphia #mac finds his pride #mfhp #the always sunny podcast #I had to stop watching it on my lunch break earlier when mfhp first came up #bc I was like nope don't wanna start crying rn #and yes I did cry when I finally just watched it #I'm incapable of watching the dance without crying #even when it's half a screen and being talked over #mine #iasip mine #mfhp mine

My Father is a Sunny dude bro and has been since the show was in the early seasons so just think about that compared to what I’m posting and that pretty much explains it all

#iasip #sunny dude bro #dudebros #sunny dudebros #my father #my dad #the stuff I’ve heard him say about this show is WILD #MFHP #he teared up during that episode #it made me a little emotional to see him react like that actually #he doesn’t understand THIS is why I’m insane #my dad is kind of a dick but he has his moments #we’ve bonded over this show #it’s special to me in a lot of ways and this is one of them

[maccharliedennis]

Me: so yeah....seeing Mac come out as gay on Always Sunny really helped me to realize that I could come out as trans .... :)

Sister: awwww thats so sweet! Mac Finds His Pride really helped you do that?

Me: Oh... no it wasn't that episode...It was the one with a 2 minute long scene involving a dildo bike

I can't believe mfhp came in 2018. 5 years ago. That finale literally devastated me and I haven't watched a single episode since. Little gay 18 yr old me watched that alone in my room at night after achool and I'm not even joking when I say it permanently altered my brain chemistry.

#i am gonna watch the latest 2 seasons i just gotta prepare myself #mfhp #iasip #its always sunny #its always sunny in philadelphia

[gregsnero]

never-ending loop of thinking i am insane for thinking of macdennis this often and then proceeding to watch lana del rey macdennis comps on tiktok. meds vs unmedicated

#i am just letting All the posts flow #i used to hold back maybe now i dig deeper #letting it flow sunny reference mfhp... #Get me back in school. #iasip #its always sunny #macdennis #mikey posting

sometimes I get a little dizzy thinking about how if The Gang Does a Clip Show takes place entirely in Dennis’ mind, then Dennis is the one who imagined Mac choosing to leave for North Dakota with him (holding hands no less) and Charlie interrogating him about why he would choose to still be roommates with Mac.

#and don’t think I didn’t notice how Dennis never answered Charlie’s question #I fully expect this to come up again #like ‘Dennis if you hate Mac so much why do you live with him— OH’ #Macdennis #the gang does a clip show #IASIP season 13 #IASIP season 16 #MFHP #DDL #Mac Dennis #Mac x Dennis #Mac and Dennis #mac mcdonald #dennis reynolds #it’s always sunny in philadelphia #always Sunny #IASIP #MacDen #Sunny sweet 16

#i mean they did already strike with MFHP but. .. u kno what im referring to if yr followin this blog LMAO

[evilmacdennisevil]

thinking about mac again. thinking about ‘this is about families getting back together and raising little boys so they could be happy again’ and how all mac wants is stability. thinking about ‘my guess is that you’ve been confused for a very long time’ and how he couldn’t even come up with a retort because, it’s true, he had been confused, but up until that point he probably didn’t even know what was confusing him. thinking about how he was neglected by his parents and then the catholic church instilling the belief in mac of ‘the original sin of being born’, and how, in his mind, the logical conclusion was to give up every part of himself for everyone else so that he could finally earn redemption for sins he hadn’t even committed.

thinking about him realising in the arbitration office that his friends actually genuinely didn’t care whether he was gay or not. how, for the first time, he realised he had unconditional acceptance.

thinking about how the gang may not be functional, but at least they are stable.

#but then i’m also thinking about s13 and mfhp #and how he didnt know where he fits in ‘as a gay man’ #how at 42 years old mac had to learn to live for himself for the first time #and how this resulted in an identity crisis in s15 #he doesn’t crave identity he craves community #and ultimately that’s what the gang are for him before anything else #anyways. i just want him to be happy #iasip #mac mcdonald #it’s always sunny in philadelphia
