OOC :: Sweet Dee Makes an Info Post.
*cues up 'Temptation Sensation'*
*joins Infopost Bandwagon*
Oh, Lord. Where am I even going to start with Dee Reynolds?
BIG FAT CONTENT WARNING: None of these Gifs are probably SFW. Deandra Reynolds is not SFW. Also, it's almost literally all gifs so I'm sorry for your eyes. I just really like gifs, okay? And words alone cannot truly capture Sweet Dee.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a show about terrible people doing terrible things and making the lives of everyone around them more terrible for being associated with them. It focuses on a trio of friends, Dennis, Mac, and Charlie, as well as Dennis's twin sister "Sweet Dee" and his legal father, Frank, and their exploits running a really shitty bar in South Philly called Paddy's Pub and just generally trying to make it in the world and being really, really terrible at it.
When the show first started out, Sweet Dee was intended to be the straight-man, the normal one, the voice of reason in the show, but it was quickly decided that this route was just wasting actress Kaitlin Olson's comedic talent, and so she became just a depraved and awful as the rest of them. She might be able to pretend to be normal a little better than the rest of the gang, but that's a facade that's going to slip pretty quickly. That said, that's the one thing about Deandra Reynolds that needs to be out there: she is not a good person. I...am also not a good person, but I like to think I'm a decent person, while Dee doesn't know the meaning of the word decency. Please, please, please, please, please let me know if I even start getting close to any lines with her behavior, because I'm not out to upset or offend anyone, and I'm definitely going to be hedging some of the truly unsavory aspects about this character, but I can't know where a line is if I can't see it, and I want to try to be super open and flexible and considerate of other people's comfort.
So there we go. Let's get to some bullet points and gifs, and this'll really only cover not even half of it, but hopefully it will be enough to give you an idea if you're not already familiar with the canon.
Deandra "Sweet Dee" Reynolds...
Is an alcoholic
Is an addict.
Has some anger issues.
Is saying this to a literal child
Is a highly sexual being
But usually dry heaves out of nervousness and needs to be drunk if you're particularly attractive.
Overcompensates for a childhood of being told she sucks and is terrible by her overbearing mother
Needs constant validation
Has a criminal record.
Is a great dancer
Is delusional.
If you feel a strange desire to compare her to a bird, don't worry. That's just natural.
She's a failed actress, a failed comedienne, a liar, a terrible bartender, has no filter, is rude and crude and insensitive, is not nearly as smart as she thinks she is, and is overall just a really lovely person.
There's really so much here that there's no way I can fit it all in an info post, but I do feel like a decent warning is called for, and, well, I guess we'll discover the rest as we go along! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I got into a time crunch with this so I'm probably forgetting a million things, but O H W E L L.!!
