similar story: i heard about mac's coming out before i got into the show, so i knew nothing else about it at the time. all i heard was that this weird sitcom had just confirmed this guy's sexuality after many years of him being in the closet and it was a huge deal for fans.

around the same time, i stumbled upon a clip of mac and dennis move to the suburbs, with the scene where wally introduces himself to them. by then i could recognize mac due to the whole coming out euphoria, and knowing that he's gay i naturally assumed that him and dennis were a couple. because if this neighbor is introducing himself to them, it means they're living together, and if they live together and mac is gay, they must be a couple

and so i went on with my life, happy for this mac guy for coming out and moving in with his boyfriend in this show i had never watched. it took a few years for me to start sunny after that, and actually understand the weird dance these two have going on. can't say i regret it

probably the most important moment in my life was that, despite having never seen Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I'd seen that "Newsflash asshole, I've been in love with you the entire goddamn time!" "So why didn't you say something?" "BECAUSE I HATE YOU!" meme everywhere.

And so. I assumed. That I was spoiled and the entire show was a slowburn romance between these two male leads. I watched something like 10 seasons of this stupid sitcom show under the assumption that everything was building towards these two men angrily and bitterly making out with each other. Every miserable, hateful, spite filled fight they ever get into was building to the undeniable conclusion of their equally miserable, hateful, spite filled confession.

And then I come to it. The scene. The confession. Dennis's unmistakable sweat smeared hair. The exhaustion in Mac's eyes. And then... the line. "Newsflash asshole, I've been HEARING it the entire goddamn time!" Because. It was about them. gaslighting each other over a broken smoke alarm. or something. And I, poor fool that I am, had gaslit myself in turn.

still a romance tho

my brain is really like. Working Over the implications of how the gang all getting to slap each other and it being a mutually agreed upon way to relieve aggression has actually managed to work for them alongside the breathing exercises that dennis seemingly brought to them from his DTAMHD journey of self regulation. in the early seasons, it wasn't unusual for them to wrestle and fight each other, and it's interesting that it stopped for a time, which i assume is because they had come to recognize it was socially unacceptable for them all to be scuffling like that now that they were all getting older; so this being a more controlled way of engaging with each other is so fucking fascinating. we saw dennis controlling his rage last season, but it's not just being bottled up; it's acknowledged, shared, and they all have an outlet that doesn't get impeded by verbal communication barriers.

This has to be Courfeyrac's influence. But what's the matter? The man just wants a little fun.

the concept of being disappointed by the gang's misogyny, as if this hasn't been the show for 17 seasons 😭

Me when I don’t understand Sunny at all.

Me when this is the first episode of Sunny I’ve ever watched.

My god, man. You are NOT SUPPOSED TO FIND WHAT THE GANG THINK IS COOL COOL. You’re not supposed to watch this show to RELATE TO THEM.

when people join a new fandom and start making posts like "Crazy how i don't see anyone talk about this scene/detail" or "WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS"

babe. we talked about it years ago when it happened. you're not making a grand discovery, you're just late to the party

like it's absolutely fine to be excited about things you're just now finding out, i get it! but please stop acting like everyone else was ignoring or unaware of it. the fandom existed before you showed up. just because you weren't there to see those conversations take place doesn't mean they didn't happen

You forgive how God forgives.
