Sort-of-a-hero-that-way - Busy Hyperfixating On Silly Old People

Thinking about Frank vs Russia again. And about the confirmation that the SINNED system was created at the same time as the DENNIS one. We know Dennis perfected his system for women but we haven't seen him ever date a man or keep a man. We have no confirmation of what he's done, and based on Dennis' eagerness in knowing if Dee and Mac got 2nd dates, I like to think he's never even tested it before. It was all based on observations. He kept it secret all these years and finally saw potential now to test it out through them. When's the second date? He's eager to know. Does it work.

And it does. Ofc it does. It was foolproof. He knew that.

Dennis isn't against a romance with Mac. The system exists since s6, Dennis clearly WANTS to keep a man. He just doesn't understand how that's already happened. Mac likes him? Wdym, he hasn't done the steps yet. Dennis just confirmed that the system works.

We know Dennis' outburst basically meant "You can't be in love with Johnny because he doesn't love you Mac, I don't love you. Move on."

But it also meant "You can't be in love with Johnny because Johnny is me! And you're not in love with me!"

Dennis is rejecting love on all grounds, in both directions. This isn't part of the plan, part of the scheme. This isn't his goal, not now. He's not ready and Mac isn't either.

The goal was simply to get Mac's attention back. To bring them back on equal footing. To be friends again. Dennis is fixing the friendship first, and Mac is being impatient and an idiot and jumping at romance and ruining the careful pacing Dennis is creating.

Dennis keeping binders about his friends always makes me so sad cuz it appears controlling while it's actually just out of pure love. To Dennis, being known by someone else is what he desperately seeks and he offers that freely to the rest of the gang.

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.

you know what will live rent free in my head until the end of time,,,

the deleted scene from cereal defense where dennis goes to strangle dee and she de-escalates by grabbing and massaging his hands. and it works. he immediately calms down and listens to her.

I hate to keep being so salty about Moffat’s era b/c RTD’s first era did have some things I didn’t like but man RTD was a freaking genius at weaving so much emotion and heart into his stories while still keeping it sci-fi

I mean we had arcs for soooo many characters it’s actually kind of crazy when you think about it, and I’m not just talking about Nine, Ten/Tentoo, Rose, Martha and Donna

The companions families as well–positive and negative b/c I’m still not over how difficult it must have been for Martha’s family after their year with the Master. But Jackie and Pete had their happily ever after (and a baby), Mickey grew so much, Sylvia seemed to have a bit of a change of heart regarding Donna at the end, Wilf was fabulously Wilf (we saw their families so many times on screen!!)

Like think about how wild it is that I know Mickey was raised by his gran, I remember Martha warning her brother Leo and he was walking with a gf/wife/partner? pushing a baby stroller, Martha’s dad had a gf who I think was called Annalise and there was drama about that cheating scandal…I know so much about characters that aren’t really the main companions in comparison to, for example, Amy and Rory

We had arcs for “minor” characters like Cassandra, Harriet Jones, Adam, The Face of Boe, the Slitheen that took over Margaret, even Jake from Pete’s World

We had a connection between Gwyneth and Gwen with the explanation as to why they look the same, same for the explanation as to why Tosh was there in S1

We had what was essentially like an origin story for the Ood in S4 when they had first been introduced in S2

Jack had his own spinoff, I haven’t watched Classic Who but Sarah Jane was incredible in what I’ve seen of her own spinoff too

Even though there’s some things I don’t like about Journey’s End the reason it was so exciting to see was b/c of the culmination of so many characters that had so much backstory coming together. Come on we even had a reference to Mr. Copper from the “Voyage of the Damned” special since he funded the Sub-Wave Network! Incredible, just incredible. 

Please bless me with some headcanons 🥺

Jeff depends on his coffee every morning to fully wake up, and without it he gets really grumpy and annoyed. Abed doesn't drink coffee at all because he hates the taste. Abed starts buying Jeff's favorite brand of coffee and replacing it every time it starts to get low. It takes almost a year for Jeff to realize what's going on, and when he asks Abed about it he says, "I just like it when you're happy in the morning."

Abed is really self-conscious about stimming in public. He always tries to hide what he's doing and Jeff can tell it stresses him out a little. Jeff starts buying stim toys and carrying them in his bag. When he senses Abed getting uncomfortable he hands one to Abed and takes another one out for himself to play with, so Abed doesn't feel like he's drawing attention.

Jeff secretly loves Hallmark Christmas movies and makes Abed watch them year round. Abed only will watch them if he's allowed to give a running commentary of everything wrong with each movie, and Jeff agrees. At actual Christmas time, one of Abed's gifts to Jeff is staying quiet while they watch the movies.

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...

Can I... uhm may I...

Silly comic relief relationships who I get to dissect and turn into serious analysis…

Clingy little guy who thinks the other little guy makes the world go round and is totally oblivious to the fact that their relationship is actually mutual when they're clearly fkn codependent…

Homicidal violent freak being the misunderstood kindest of the relationship, trying to be the glue of the friend group, wanting to provide everyone a sense of community so neither have to feel alone again…

When they're alone Victoria lets Joyce doodle with markers on her press on nails and it's okay if they don't match. When one falls Joyce puts it in a jar like a little art museum.
