You Didn’t Tell - Abby S.
okay this is definitely a huge reach and i have no clue if anyone else has talked about this before but its a fun theory anyway!
dennis is d.e.n.n.i.s.-ing mac but he’s doing it BACKWARDS. okay stay with me here. it’s the sinned system— it subverts the original dennis system in every way because 1) it’s dennis’s uphill battle with real authentic love for the first time in his life and 2) none of it is planned or happening on purpose. here’s the evidence so far
S - separate entirely: the guy you’ve been in a codependent mildly homoerotic relationship with for 20 something years came out of the closet and he’s in love with you. flee immediately and give him a fake number. start a new life with a new family thousands of miles away and don’t ever talk to him again.
I- inspire hope: never mind that was horrible. come back home. don’t let anyone know your next move.
N- neglect emotionally: you expected everything to go back to normal after coming back but this just doesn’t feel right. he’s coming on way too strong. you need to create some distance. for his sake, obviously, not yours…… right?
N- nurture dependance: you totally don’t need him as badly as he needs you. this is just asserting your dominance and keeping him wrapped around your finger. nothing more.
E- engage physically: one pandemic later you realize pushing him away this much was a bad idea. theres no way he actually moved on from you, right? start touching him again. keep it casual.
and that just leaves us with D for demonstrate value…. maybe….. some big gesture or emotionally charged moment that shows how he feels. now i’m not saying the narrative is setting it up but i’m not not saying it either. just something to think about
okay. it’s not an exact match but MY FUCKING GOD I GOT CLOSE
sweet dreams, mac ✨
actors love to make their characters subtextually gay not just because they’re a little gay themselves though that often is the case but rather because having a secret is like energy drink to acting, and being gay is the easiest most obvious secret. whenever you’re unsure of your character’s motivations consider: maybe they are gay? see where that takes you. should be pretty far
