#at least at that point back in s6 there was... cuz litrlly mac was having his gay awakening IN REAL TIME whereas dens already had his

[cutemeat]

s16 we should get a macden sex scene where we get that sort of In-A-Box panning camera where we shift into a top down view of dens bed and it pans to den and he’s sweaty and his eyes are closed and he’s smiling and it keeps panning and we get to mac and he’s just like looking off to the side sort of giving like the Scratching My Head look because it was so ass. basically it was everything den has ever wanted but mac is so upset and scared because the pussy was trash and he doesn’t know if he can live with that in a relationship [it’s all in his head he was just so nervous he couldnt focus on the task that well and he’s self sabotaging almost. after they do it again he’s like wooooah.. woah] [this will not happen]

OHHH NO THAT'S SO GOOD I LOV THE WHOLE MAC SELF-SABOTAGING THING THAT'S LIKE... SO REAL??? 100% putting WAY too much pressure on himself (thnx to dennis tbh) meanwhile den is just like. content as could be, not a single goddamn complaint. tbh i think that's a lot more the core Macden dynamic... i like the running implication throughout the show that balance is restored to their relationship anytime they bang lolll (think s6/s15)

i rlly can see mac spending the whole time agonizing n weighing the Pros and the Cons n just catastrophizing to No End but then they bang a second-time n then shit's fine LOL very typical mac </3

MacDennis. Will it ever be canon? And if so how far. Like Dennis telling Mac he loves him, end finale scene.

Or are we destined to be cock teased with them like Dennis does Mac

considering all the stuff about the shamrock tattoo this season i am especially convinced they are going somewhere with this arc. i mean truthfully I don't view mac/dennis as a "ship" "going canon" cuz i think macdennis has been a legitimate canon dynamic esp since s5/s6 but clearly there's been hesitance in whether or not to actually make it known in the text cuz they're so afraid of being "locked-in" to anything or whatever shit they say ..

but in terms of whether i think they will actually explicitly show it or not, cuz that seems to be the debate they've been having.. that at least seems to be the direction they're headed lately esp considering the subtext of the Jumper ep. (s14 in general hammering in mac/dennis onscreen romance arc as one of its major "pitches" before "the movie started" if u will) and like I said at the start, the whole shamrock tattoo fiasco this season only pushed that belief further. i mean litrlly this is a line from the Billboard ep .. so would explain why dennis would be making such a fuss over the thing lol

that being said i hope next season is less feet dragging and more action (lol @ dennis' literal feet dragging in the finale.. has to have been a metaphor right.. right) cuz truly.. if i have to watch another season of eps where the subtext is the writers being annoyed that ppl can't tell dennis is mac's love interest n then not doing anything im gonna eat thru some drywall in true macdennis locust fashion

I mean I don't think it's at all a coincidence that dennis' arc this season incorporated a lot of the same elements from MFHP (aka the hematoma on dee's forehead & "to truly understand what this life is like you need to spend some time with someone who's living it.." echoing frank opening up 'the old cut' in MFHP) and then HOHC in the finale ... but it was done on the more standard subtextual level cuz yknow. it's dennis n not mac this time lmao.. and moving the sexuality-specific lens aside, denial of identity has been a big thing for dennis since he's basically just been playing a character that meets frank's expectations (see: "don't wanna brag but I've actually been in character all week") since s7 at this point.. so as a whole dennis has lost his grasp on who HE is and seems like he is coming to terms with that fact in s15 on his own after all his usual defense mechanisms fail him (as well as frank) n he has to deal with that.

then as for "how far" .. I personally think they should go for it in s16 cuz come on.. the mention of a "sweet sixteen party" in Mops Twice hello... it's the perfect set-up to call back this bit of dialogue too:

so to me, that would just make the MOST sense timing-wise for that particular arc to come to a head.. tho i will say after having thought through like at least 10+ possible scenarios for how it could all go down using pre-existing threads uh... those possibilities really can be infinite!!!! so I have no fucking clue which exact route they might take, i'm just along for the ride at this point lmaoo
