the greatest will-they-won't-they in television sitcom history. i guess.

Storytime!

If I ever have a child I will accept them no matter what. If they're Gay, Trans, Neurodivergent, even if they want to convert to a different religion unless they're gonna be a protestant then I'm kicking them the fuck out!!!,!!!.!.!!.!

tomorrow's not coming

i can't hold onto angst for too long bc ella ashmore should never be sad ever again so consider this as well

i just think it’s so brilliant that the show about emotionally stunted codependent losers is also the longest running live action american sitcom.

i don’t think i’ll ever be able to articulate this fully but. they could have very easily made something short and cynical. something strictly satirical. something like veep, or arrested development, which, don’t get me wrong, are both shows i love, but they are shows where the audience just laughs at the main characters’ misery. and yeah, most of it is that. most of it is traumatized kids who aren’t kids anymore drinking themselves to death in a dive bar. but it’s also mac coming out to his dad after so many years of shame and dennis finally getting something for valentine’s day and dee telling a joke that actually lands and charlie alone in the rain until he isn’t and all of them walking off of that mountain together with their arms wrapped around each other. sometimes it’s that. but you only notice those brief, saccharine moments when you’ve been watching something long enough — living with something long enough — to do so, and suddenly you’re crying on the couch because dennis bought mac a dog even though dennis hates dogs. i would take something breathing, something with empathy over something bitingly satirical and efficient and short any day of the week.

there is probably nothing in that crate outside, but hey, let’s look in it anyway. there’s a stain on this wall and it looks like a miracle.

FX when I get my hands on you ...
