Dennis Reynolds is not a serial killer. in fact, he has never killed a single person. all of his fantasies of kiling are his way of mentally reclaiming power from someone who he feels has taken it from him, and he says incriminating things to make people think that he is unfeeling and dangerous and convince them not to cross him. (edit: or help him.)

as he says, Maureen is the only woman who can break his "shell", his protection. he feels like he was weak around her, so he needs to make everyone think he killed her as a way to reestablish his power over her in their minds, and to override their memory of him when he was in a relationship with her.

ha fantasizes about killing the news reporter because she is the only woman who makes him nervous (powerless), and once her boobs are ruined (the part that had value to him) he realizes what she's 'done' to him and needs to take his power back.

he wants people to think that he's capable of murder, just to scare them into submission. he acts like he wanted to actually kill the waitress in Mac is a serial killer because he needs Dee to keep following his orders. he says he likes being considered a serial killer when he asks charlie if he's "methodical" because he's trying to get charlie to follow his obviously flawed 'say yes' advice. he tells Dee to 'think of the smell' because he is in an argument with her where he needs to feel superior. love is a head in a freezer because then they can't leave, they cant hurt him, he is in control.

but in the end, he doesn't have the strength to kill pop pop.

I know that it sounds like I'm overlooking hard evidence of things that the character himself has said, but Dennis is a liar. he hates himself, so he starves himself and hurts people to prove that he's a golden god. all he wants is a loving relationship, which he has, so he acts like he doesn't need Mac (or anyone else for that matter). he tells mac that he has no feelings, only to reveal seasons later that he has big feelings, but he can't be seen as loving, caring, (weak). so he presents the anthrax, when it was always just sugar.

Mac takes Dennis's advice more seriously than a priest's and I'm on the floor dying about it

like there's so much proof that him and dennis trust each other on the stupidest shit just because they're so codependent but to see it played out, with Mac's Religion as the other option is. rattling

I don't know if this is a stretch, but I've always thought that one of Charlie's special interests is stalking the waitress. not in a "awe you can't blame my little autistic guy" way, but I genuinely think it explains his fixation on her and serves as good proof for him being on the spectrum. he keeps notes about it and seems to mentally connect every experience to the waitress, like how he doesn't see Ruby as a separate opportunity for a relationship but his head instead jumps to the waitress, he incorporates her into his art, and these are all things that I experience with my special interests. I also tend to view unrelated situations through their lense, either subconsciously or to get me invested, like how he uses the waitress as a way to stop drinking (which is a double edged sword since it was always about her so he stops caring once she's removed, something that I struggle with). it also just works so perfectly with the theme of disordered symptoms that are not inherently evil, but the character chooses not to control themself instead of finding healthy ways to manage it, just like how they obviously aren't saying that people with BPD are evil when they suggest that Dennis has it, they're just proving that he really is a troubled but Bad person.

this is how I've explained it since I started watching the show and I just realized that I've never seen anyone else mention it 🤷‍♂️
