iasip season 16 prediction
a stalker, a loser, a gay catholic, a corrupt billionaire, and a psychopath walks into a bar...
thinkin bout how Dennis has basically been using the D.E.N.N.I.S system on Mac for 15 seasons…
Demonstrate Value:
- hangs out with Mac a lot, especially in the early seasons when their friendship is less antagonistic
- their codependent relationship is really just them demonstrating their value to each other
- one example that I guess kinda works for this is in Gun Fever, when Charlie is robbing the bar and Dennis shoots at him after Mac says to
- monthly dinner dates
Engage Physically:
- I mean… come on
Nurturing Dependence:
- again… their codependent relationship
- Mac constantly needs to check in with Dennis
- Mac quite literally depends on Dennis for all his emotional needs
- in the D.E.N.N.I.S system episode, Mac depends on Dennis for his M.A.C system to work
Neglect Emotionally:
- I can think of a thousand examples for this one, obviously, but I won’t list them all
- Dennis constantly rejects Mac’s platonic and romantic advances
- Dennis isn’t great at showing emotion anyway, so it’s kinda natural that he’s neglecting him in that sense
Inspire Hope:
- constantly making up scenarios for schemes in which he and Mac are life partners and/or romantically involved
- “I’m emotionally involved with Mac”
- continues to be physically and emotionally close to Mac, even when physically and emotionally rejecting Mac’s obvious infatuation with him
Separate Entirely:
- I think he was attempting to do this when he left for North Dakota
- he was clearly trying to separate from the whole gang, but he leaves in the same episode where he’s pretending to be in love with Mac, so… you tell me
In conclusion,
was anyone going to tell me that mac was wearing dennis' shirt in the PTSDee macden near-kiss scene or was i supposed to realize that myself after rewatching mac fights gay marriage
I may be delusional, but I’m 100% dead set on the fact that macdennis will become canon sooner rather than later. There’s just so much that points to them actually ending up together especially with the latest couple of seasons
Wait wait you know what I just thought of, Mac peeling Dennis’ apples for him, removing that perceived to be toxic poisonous outer layer.
Dennis as the apple. The toxic peeling as his facade, his tough outer shell he’s built around him.
Mac peeling the apple. Mac peeling away Dennis’ shell, Dennis’ poisonous outer layer.
Also something about apples and cores, about missing cores, and a giant gaping hole driven right through the middle.
And something about Mac “you changed who I am at my core” McDonald.
Something about apples and Dennis, and Dennis and the show. Dennis being representative of the show itself. On the surface, falsely perceived to be one thing: inherently bad, poisonous, dangerous (edgy, evil). But inside... something else.
Something about the phrase “rotten to its core” but Dennis isn’t, not really.
Something about Mac being Dennis’ core. Them being each other’s core. Being the show’s core. Peeling away the layers.
And something about Mac loving everyone so openly even if no one loves him because who loves the core of an apple?
Something about Sunny. Something about love. Something about apples and layers and cores.
they're getting married! (only for the tax benefits, ofc)
