[m4ndysk4nkovich]

season’s six-ten are so overhated i can’t stand it

[gardenerian]

today is actually a super busy day so of course i am avoiding it all by doing @celestialmickey's sweet lil tag game! ty @metalheadmickey @mmmichyyy @tanktopgallavich @energievie ily ily!

your name: mel

your age: respect your elders

your first fandom(s): time to out myself again, huh? i was on fandom tumblr for downton abbey (and sherlock oh god) when it was airing but i never really participated? i just lurked. the first fandom that i wrote fic/made graphics/did headcanons for etc. was riverdale 💀 then it was schitt's creek, and now.... well. we know what this is.

your current fandom(s): shamey wamey

how did you first get into fandom? i was on tumblr for the angst and nudes for a while asjkfh and then fandom found me. never looked back babyyyyy

how long have you been engaging with fandom spaces? i still have some very treasured riverdale mutuals, and i started in that space in 2017? that's when i first seriously engaged in fandom. i jumped right into shameless tumblr in 2019 and have been very comfy!

how often do you read fanfics? not as much as i used to! it used to be every day, multiple times per day. but now... my brain, it is broken. i would say once a week or so? sometimes more, if the noggin allows. i really want to do better!!

top 3 characters from your current fandom(s): ian/mickey, lip, fiona

have you ever written a fic for a fandom? if so, shout it out! ayyyyy yes i have, and i am trying to get more out there!

have you ever drawn fanart for a fandom? lmao no, you guys astound me every single day with your talent, but i do not have it

share a personal headcanon that you feel very strongly about: i don't want to say asdfklh

you’re trying to convince a friend to get into your current fandom(s) with you. what episode, clip, or scene are you showing them? god that's tough. possibly 4x08? it's one of my favorites and it's such a classic! the music.... everyone's storylines... the performances! s4 is such a HNNNNHHHNNGG good one. i would say 7x12 but i'd need to show them mickey..... oh god maybe 2x02??? s2 my most beloved! this is an impossible question. they need to watch the whole thing.

and finally, what does fandom mean to you? oh my god. fandom has always been something of an escape for me? i joined the riverdale fandom in a pretty rough spot, and it was such a fun and sweet way to disconnect from all of that. despite the Stupid of that show, i had so much fun. but now... it's still an escape. it's still a way to turn off the world and mess around and have fun. but it's also a way to learn and express myself and try new things and feel brave? it's a way to create in a way i never thought i could??? it's a community of kindred spirits. this fandom in particular has infused my life with so much color. it has given me my best friends. the tumblr table at my wedding is REAL and it will be the most fun table IMO. my life was very different before these folks came around, and fandom is 100% responsible for that. *clears throat, wipes away tears* anyways. fandom is cool.

tag shy today despite just spilling my guts askjdafksh please do this and share your thoughts! i am tagging yoU!

bestie if you haven't answered this before how would you rank all seasons of shameless 😁

i have but i'll do it again bc it's probably changed <3

1. s3 – the balance of fun summer activities and angst... the family vibes... the set up for s4... immaculate

2.s4– this used to be my #1 but idk anymore sdksf i'm such a sucker for angst so this is definitely always gonna be at the top of the list 🤥 i love love love fiona and lips respective arcs this season and it's also probably my favorite for mickey so MWAH

3. s2– just love the summer seasons and the whole family vibe of this one like... she's done nothing wrong ever, especially 2x09-2x12

4. s7– i've always seen s7 as a kind of sister season to s2 so i obviously love it so much 💘 so many amazing continuations of lip, fiona and ian's arcs happen in this season i love it <3 also 7x09-7x12 are some of my favorite episodes ever (and again they mirror the final episodes of s2 so well)

5. s1– love love love the warmth and comfort of this season 🤕i've said it before but it literally just feels like home to me :((

6. s5– this is my favorite ian season obviously (and probably my most rewatched for that reason ksddsjf) but overall... she's missing something ://

7. s6– eh. could be better could be worse it's just kinda there for me 😭 there are some specific moments i love (like lips slow spiral and ian getting his life together) but it's not enough for me to really love it idk

8. s8– i genuinely love s8a which is why this hurts me </3 s8b is a flop and i hate it and it upsets me that it turned so bad after having a really solid start for everybody ☹️ (excluding lip obviously he carried s8b)

9. s9– s9a is a continuation of s8b and it's general horribleness but s9b is actually so good 😭 again i wish i could rank this higher but i simply can't bc of the crimes committed in the first half </3

10. s10– no fiona. instant flop. also literally the only interesting part to me was ian and mickey and very occasionally lip which just makes me sad 🤥 literally so many just ridiculous and forgettable plot lines were shoved in this season and it's just so forgettable overall

11. s11– idc how many times people talk about s11 husbands this season sucks so bad 😭 the writing is bad the premise is bad the characterization is bad like *%*$&%(* i'm sorry i like the shows i watch to be good and this simply doesn't fit the bill :|
