29, She/Her This blog doesn't really have a subject anymore, it just sort of goes with the tides. Someday I may actually get around to organizing it, but for now it's just a mess.

in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like

[roach-works]

look, here’s the thing: alice in wonderland’s enduring fucking charm is that it perfectly captures the vibe of being a very tired and annoyed child who is nonetheless required to play along with adult nonsense.

alice is dragged from place to place without warning, forced to play stupid games with no good prizes, grilled over her schooling and manners and recitation and dress, scolded, judged, insulted to her face, sent away, given gifts she didn’t ask for and doesn’t like, corrected incorrectly, been subject to shifting and arbitrary rules, and then when she gets snappish with all this bullshit everyone acts like a little girl’s temper is the end of the fucking world.

alice in wonderland isn’t a drug trip or a nightmare or a metaphor, that’s just what being ten years old is LIKE. that’s why kids love it so much. even if they can’t quite articulate how, they recognize themselves in it.

I'm gonna go ahead and add - the reaction image is barely even a joke. This is the original illustration of her at the Mad Hatter's tea party.

look at how fucking angry she is

Happy Pride specifically to this whimsical little freak, who saw charmacden in the bathroom being loser boyfailures and thought "👀? yeah okay I'm down to fuck one (or all) of these men tonight" and then brought them to a heroin den to get high and bang. Iconic. I love him and I hope he and Phil are very happy together

What makes you ship charlie and frank? No judgement, I'm just curious, because in the show its always implied to be more of a father son relationship so I'm wondering like whats appealing. I especially want to know because you're one of the only people I've seen ship them, its so niche.

i'm actually pretty new to shipping charfrank and only became interested in it during the golden bachelor arc last season, but i will try to speak on my feelings lol

first, real talk: i think a large part of the reason it's so unpopular is because it's not "hot" enough. if frank was played by a more conventionally attractive actor, i really do think more people would be on this shit, sorry 💅

second, i kind of don't agree that it's always portrayed as a father/son relationship. like for sure, charlie thought frank might be his dad at one point, and there are some daddy issues at play. but i think for the last few seasons at least, their relationship has been way more spousal than father/son. they've literally been married before. they've had group sex together more than once (wasn't there a joke also about frank being sexual with the charlie mannequin when mac and charlie fake their deaths?). and this last season especially, charlie's reaction to frank wanting to marry a woman and leave him felt way more like a jilted partner than a son, to me at least. i think the father/son thing was always a semi-flimsy explanation for the closeness of their relationship used by the show and by frank and charlie themselves, when convenient.

they're both weirdos with traumatic childhoods who finally found someone that truly gets them and likes them for who they are. frank is pretty homophobic and has a lot of sex with women he doesn't feel much for -- charlie is the longest, happiest partnership of his life. charlie has never had a real romantic relationship and gets confused about boundaries and what his feelings for people mean. i like ships with interesting dynamics to explore, and charfrank just fits the bill.

that said, i can only speak for myself -- i'm sure other people ship them for different reasons!

It initially seems pretty horrible how Frank just threw Poppins in the trash, but that’s what he wants for himself, so in a way it’s kind of nice. Treat others how you want to be treated.

mac meeting a guy who's really into cheating/sneaking around so he weedles dennis into being his fake boyfriend to get the guy's attention but dennis ruins the whole operation in the end because he can't actually abide letting the dude even think he stole a man from dennis reynolds

part 1!

The more I think about it, the more I personally think that the opening episode for s18 could be "2026: A Virtual Insanity".

I know it's listed as second-to-last in production order but the last time there was an episode with a year in the title (2020: A Year In Review), it recapped the missing year between seasons as the opener episode.

S18 doesn't have a scheduled release date but it is presumably being released either late 2026-early 2027 meaning it's been a whole year+ since the cliffhanger finale of s17. They could totally use an entire episode to update the audience as to what everyone's been up to since The Golden Bachelor.

Maybe it took a year to get Samantha & Frank's wedding planned (or they've been honeymooning for a full year). Maybe (if this is the AI episode) Charlie's felt so alone and disconnected from the gang and Frank especially that he's resorted to using chatbots that he treats like the gang to fill that void. IDK I just feel like it's going to be an episode that will fill in some gaps from between seasons.

Ok ok but hear me out… The guys get nostalgic and decide to have a sleepover, but in typical High School sleepover fashion, it’s “no girls allowed.” Dee gets jealous and decides to have her own sleepover with Artemis and the Waitress. Artemis no shows.

…here’s how “Dee’s Banging the Waitress can still win…

[charmac]

"The Guys Have a Sleepover" is such a funny episode title cos Charlie crashes at Mac and Dennis' apartment regularly, so this is conceivably an episode about three 50 year old men having a planned slumber party

A CORPSE BRIDE? SLEEPOVERS!! A GILLIGAN'S ISLAND PARODY? FIGHTING THE WAR ON ALCOHOL (PROBABLY ON THE SIDE OF ALCOHOL)!

Season 18 Episode Titles AND Writers are revealed! (But who wrote what?)

Episode titles for Season 18 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia have been published!

THATS RIGHT IT'S SEASON 18 EPISODE TITLES TIME!!!

I like how all the always sunny side characters are living in different genres. Like the gang might be in a black comedy sitcom and that's the show that WE'RE watching but the waitress and Cricket are living out oscar bait dramas about suffering through life's hardships on the streets of Philadelphia. The McPoyles are in some kind of fucked up Gummo-esque arthouse movie. The lawyer is in a legal procedural where the gang is a recurring opponent. Artemis is the spunky female lead of a show called Artemis.
