This Is One Of My Most Favorite Interactions Ever And I Think About It Every Day At Least Once

Havent been on here lately so this has probably already been said but my theory for Mac and Dennis become EMTs involves mouth to mouth resuscitation

IM GONNA THROW UP

frank has been handling most of mac and dennis’s taxes and finances and shit for years and a while back he came to the realization that it would save him a good amount of time and money if those two just had a joint account. so he casually slipped them a couple of documents to sign one day and so for the past few years mac and dennis have been legally married with no idea whatsoever.

the thing is when they do find out dennis is all pissed off that frank kept it a secret from them more than he’s pissed off about being married to mac. and mac is all pissed off that the sanctity of marriage was ruined because they never even had a wedding. and dennis is like wait That’s what you’re mad about? and mac is all like yeah! i always thought that when i’d get married one day there would be a whole wedding in a big ass church and they’d be playing bon jovi on the organ and god would be watching. and then dennis starts getting a tension headache and it escalates into a heated debate/yelling match about weddings.

and frank is like woah woah woah woah alright listen best i can do is a cake and some streamers and we’ll clean cricket up a little and he can be your priest is that good is that gonna get you two off my back about this? and the truth is they both suddenly got really excited about the idea of a wedding so they’re like… yeah okay fine whatever.

AND THEN

they’re like fuck okay we gotta speedrun this whole thing starting with batchelor parties. mac drags charlie along with him and dennis drags dee to his. mac is all like i want today to be full of beefcakes i wanna have one last big gay hoorah without having to think about dennis at all and then spends the entire day talking about dennis anyway and charlie is on the verge of blowing his brains out. meanwhile dennis spends all day trying to justify marrying mac to dee as a logical and financial thing and how he’s definitely not in love with him or anything like yes he’s his best friend and yes they share a level of intimacy that they could never have with anyone else and yes sometimes it’s sexual but it’s not Romantic and dee is also on the brink of blowing her brains out all day.

eventually it starts getting competitive and both of them desperately wanna out-do the other’s bachelor party and things get a little too intense (cops, crack, hookers, knives, the mcpoyles, you name it) and they all wind up back at the bar at the end of the night drunk and high out of their minds and just happy to see each other.

they get married hungover in paddys the next day

ok wow. wowwww this is crazy.

Charlie: "Hey, uh, Dennis, uh, get to Frank as fast as you can. I have Malcolm and his dad."

Hey guys, can we maybe stop body shaming glob? Like, even if you think that its fine because one or both of them do things that annoy you like crypto scams and being really rich, other guys see that and its really not cool. maybe we can keep our criticisms about their actions and not their balding, their facial hair, or their bodies??

im still debating internally whether the rose is a reference to the golden bachelor or to the machelor. which im positive is intentional and very, very evil of rcg to do to my delicate little brain.

Ashamed to admit I completely forgot about this. spiraling now

newsflash asshole!

...he’ll decompose and everything will be fine.

I want so badly for the golden bachelor reference to be for macdennis but if we are going off ages.... Franks the more likely to be the one finding love

My top 8 favorite Macdennis fanfiction

So I've officially run through all the macdennis fics available (if I'm being honest there ARE definitely some that I did not finish for various reasons such as high school AUs that felt a little weird to read in my mid twenties). It took 8 months. Probably will do as suggested and just start rereading. Something very comforting about reading the same plot run through over and over and over lol.

I do not claim to have amazing or superior taste, but these ones all stood out to me as being exceptionally unique, interesting, or well characterized out of the thousands of stories on A03.

Also if you want recs/want to give me recs my inbox is super open :) I crave to talk to the people

Macdennis fic idea

Again, I am lazy (and also not very good at writing) but I wanna throw this fic idea out there. So, you know how they take turns choosing the music. Well, Dennis's choices start to get really specific. Mac acts oblivious, but his songs also start to sound a lot like a response to dennis's. Eventually theyre just kinda talking back and forth through their music.

does this mean they have their beds back ;(
