though to be fair… 2 of these have been gifts for my dad, and both of which to see tina arena

AND KEY HERE TO THIS SCENARIO: it stays as consistent as what the whole living in each other’s pocket, old-married-couple shit dee pointed out was — sure it gets heightened but it’s not a now constant, near every episode occurrence 😩

i’m thinking of the fucking nipples scene, of the trapping the rat almost kiss type shit STILL happening post out-mac, sometimes with him being the one to deescalate/turn away! …of if another character ever brings attention to it again, the two are united in their gaslighting disgust/confusion …😪🙂‍↔️

now i guess all you can do to fix it is start throwing mac love interests? — but (again, hindsight) i’m starting to that believe starting from a place of “wait, this is just even weirder now” would’ve been a better game to push the limits of than “how much can dennis take before he snaps?” was

yeah it’s interesting to have an insecure, pre-finds his pride mac decide that latching onto their relationship Like That is the next step… in the realm of fanfiction! without the nuance of an introspective why, it just turned too cruel (too flanderising) too fast

after mac come out, they should’ve turned the codependency between him and dennis into a Will They, Won’t They dependent on the question of “are they aware and/or sincere?” (dennis is still manipulating women & mac’s still a tool but with men) instead of making dennis come to Despise his best friend

and the crowd really was so heartwarmingly loud - couldn’t include it here but i got CHILLS watching back and hearing every single person in that room sing the opening “i’ll be there when your wings break” 🥺🦋

(also very happy to see haseul had SHOOTERS in the crowd tonight) #ARTMSinSydney

sobbing like a BABY now that i’m home and thinking about how bad i love them … this moment was really 7 years in the making … words just can’t explain how grateful i am that after all that they’ve been through they’re all still making music and sharing stages (together even!!)

there’s just no way that i had it charging all of yesterday and turned off all of today only for it to die literally within the first minute of me pulling it out and fiddling with the settings 😭
