AN OPEN LOCK

that is prominent in the background (to the left above Charlie’s head) during the conversation between Charlie and Mac about Dennis being right about his opinions on one’s identity, that “what you ride is your identity” and that “it’s like who you are, it’s who I am.” Dennis later goes on to start flirting with begin being close to a coincidental male acquaintance only once he’s assured by him that ‘his identity is nothing to be ashamed of’

In this scene with the lock, the bully kids show up prompting Mac to calmly confirm that he is gay to the main bully’s use of the word as an insult, but correcting that Charlie isn’t his boyfriend because he “could do much better than him” pointing to Charlie (which is also the direction of the open lock).

“Really, then why don’t you, Mac.” Charlie says.

I’ve believed that the lock metaphor from The Gang Escapes and the dialogue when they open it at the table lays out a parallel of the Macdennis situation and how ‘Dennis’ heart lock’ will be opened. In that, Charlie is able to be the one to place the key inside for Frank to turn and open by being “The Speaker.” (And since I’m talking about it, opening the lock is literally not endgame because there’s a whole list of things to do to finish the game once it’s finally opened after comically dragging out doing so.)

There’s definitely room for different interpretations or possibility for there being/not being certain intentions on some parts BUT there is a 0% chance that a conspicuous and clearly OPEN LOCK being put on display for most of this scene with what it involves being accidental after the “significance” placed on a lock in this same season only a few episodes ago (that had the unnecessary detail of being heart-shaped and pertaining to Mac and Dennis in the story as it did).

And SPEAKING of intentional details, always sunny has used shirts to support plot development on the show before (ex: Mac’s baby blue Denny’s shirt).

Well, if you’re looking for a vehicle, it would certainly be economical to get one that’s

Keep scrollin’ bozos

I am so sorry

Sunny cast + Sunny kids.

i think my favorite thing about the gang gets new wheels is how the old range rover itself becomes a symbol of dennis’s life in philly. it’s broken down, unglamorous, something even an “economy man” scoffs at, but, it’s somehow everything dennis wants. when he went to north dakota, the gang blew up his old rover, symbolizing the start of a new life and the end of the person dennis had been in philly (dennis even said, the range rover was a big part of his identity). in both cases, dennis tries and tries to get used to a new car (a new lifestyle in north dakota being a family man ) that is considered better, more conventionally successful. but he doesn’t want it. at the end of the day, he wants his broken-down fucked up life in philly more than anything else he could choose from, and he will go back to it every time.

Charlie’s reaction to hearing “Dee banged a kid” : (

And how he looked at Dennis after, too
