.......can We Talk About Jabed

(returns from the dead with another poll)

Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day had the most mixed reaction of any season 16 episode (except maybe FVR--let me know if a poll about that would be something you'd be interested in!) so I got curious; do people like and dislike the episode for the same reasons? Does what you ship and how much you like Dennis affect your opinion, or are there other factors? I wanna know!

The Fandom Takes a Mental Health Day

Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day is one of the most controversial episodes in a while. Do people like it and dislike it for the same reasons

The poll isn't too long--unless you decide to write a dissertation about the episode, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to fill out. But I mean, if you want to write a dissertation on how bad/good it is I'm all ears

this scene where dennis casually refers to dee as his friend stuck with me because i initially thought it was hilarious that he friendzoned his actual twin sister but then i became obsessed because. they’re literally friends 😭😭😭😭 they WILL leave each other’s asses the moment trouble strikes and they’re each other’s #1 target of bullying BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS COME BACK TO EACH OTHER. their bond is thicker than circumstance. they devoured their triplet in the womb. their team-ups are ruthless and destructive to those around them. and on top of it all they’re friends!! they're dance partners. they scheme to exploit welfare & get addicted to crack together. they instinctively reach for each other when they’re scared. “deandra's gonna side with dennis—that's a given.” the chardee macdennis game teams naturally pair dennis & dee. in dennis's ideal universe dee doesn't have the forehead injury she got from falling on the ground. dennis shields her when a food fight erupts during thanksgiving dinner. dee gives dennis a soft smile underwater even though she'd just said "whatever" in response to his "i love you, sis" right before they think they're going to die drowning. do you See. do you Understand. twins by chance, friends by CHOICE 💪🔥 their toxic codependent sibling slay...

Thinking about s2 ep3 where Jeff has his whole freak out over cholesterol and Duncan is the one to come up after class to him and check up on him.

"Mind if I ask what happened in class today?"

It's so simple but Duncan clearly noticed something was wrong and it shows how their friendship is genuine. I seriously wish we saw more of it because while horny loser Duncan is hilarious, he also deeply cares about his friends and can give genuinely good advice.

"While claiming to have no religion, you were actually devoutly worshipping yourself. And now that your God has high cholesterol, you're trying to kick Pierce's in the balls."

And it's so rare to see people worry about Jeff because he always convinces people that he's got it, so people brush it off. But Duncan has been a stable support for Jeff since the pilot when he cared enough to teach Jeff a lesson.

He sees through Jeff's bullshit but he also deeply respects him.

I'm so deeply obsessed with my wallpaper

Thank you to all the editors that made this happen, this is incredibly satisfying to me (now when are we adding Roman Roy to the list)

Before anyone asks, the list in question consists of silly queer-coded alcoholics with BPD who have a weird relationship with money, a weird relationship with sex, and a really weird relationship with their dad.

Anytime I watch one of these incel coded movies that only portray male mental health with anger issues, I get reminded of Dennis Reynolds and the fascinating decision to give him BPD, the disorder of feeling too much. It's such a fkn fantastic idea that completely strays away from the usual apathy as a solution to anger. And with this new knowledge, the narrative around his character is shifted. Dennis is still an angry misogynistic character but it's explicitly a coping mechanism and an exaggerated facade to try and fit in within this culture.

What is glamorized in bro culture, here it's carefully developed against it. Bro culture strives to have control, to have no-strings attached sex, to be angry and strong and the leader of the house. When it comes to Dennis, he would need the total opposite to truly strive. No control, a meaningful relationship where he feels seen, to feel the totality of his emotions, to not have responsibilities.
