interstellar ian au - sneak peek

“Those were some good ideas.” Mickey agreed, looking up at him. “You’re aware of my love for the curls, but that dark green color looked really good on you.” 

That look Mickey gave him, something admiring and adoring- 

The butterflies in Ian’s stomach were having a fucking field day.

“Yeah.” he agreed, breathlessly and mindlessly, “I thought so too.” 

And there it was again. The eye contact, held for a moment too long. 

Ian was perfectly aware of how Mickey looked, how attractive he was, but his brain momentarily hyper focused on the little details. 

The dimples that made Ian wanna smile right back at him, regardless of whatever else was going on.

The blue eyes that he kept getting trapped in. 

His slightly crooked teeth that were somehow perfect in their own way. 

Fuck. 

The actor looked away, turning towards the shelf next to him and hurriedly scanning over the books there. The panic took a beat or two to fade as he picked up a hardcover book at random. 

A queer romance novel. 

What a coincidence, his brain mused.

another little sneak peek/snippet of my upcoming multichaptered fic, bright as the stars. aka, the Interstellar Ian/Kid’s show au. This one is from chapter five, when Ian and Mickey have agreed to be friends for the sake of getting to know each other but, y’know, they’re gay

If you’re interested in more info about this au, check out some of the other posts on this blog and under the tag ‘Interstellar Ian AU’. remember to reblog with any thoughts you have <3

(if this post gets like, fifty notes, i’ll post another snippet? also i may not answer them because spoilers but feel free to ask any questions about this upcoming fic in my ask box)

[thatoneao3author]

my upcoming au doesn’t exactly follow this prompt, but interstellar ian follows actor!ian and electrician!mickey (mickey works on his set). it’s not out yet but there’s a couple posts about it on my page, it’s gonna be a long multichaptered fic <3

Hi! I was wondering are there any fics where Ian is a celebrity like a movie star or something and Mickey is a paparazzo? The idea just came to me and I thought it could be a fun one 😋 Thank u!

Hi! I agree, this is a very fun idea! I only know about Light My Body Up where Ian is a paparazzi and Mandy is a new songwriter turned superstar, and Ian gets distracted by her brother when he films her.

But now I see that someone has just started a new WIP Hollywood Love Story with Mickey as a paparazzi :) If it was your idea and you’re turning it into reality - much inspiration <3 If someone just read your mind - check it out ;) 

I’ll tag it as prompt cause I’d love to see different interpretations of it!

one thing that the (four oldest) gallagher’s have in common is that they’re all ugly criers. love that

[ohnopeh]

'i wanna be with you!' 'you don't get to be.'

lets talk about this scene cause?????? i live for it, i love it 10000% ian is confused, worried wondering why mickey stopped him from throwing his parole just like mickey wanted?? so of course ian is angry telling him 'mickey this is what you wanted, we can be together longer, i want to be with you!!!' so when mickey tells him ''well, sucks to be you but you don't get to be.'' ian's confusion and anger switches to panic, wondering why mickey doesn't want him anymore? he's probably extra worried after mickey's comment on them waiting for one another (ian!!! he was traumatised!! you did leave him last time!!!!) ian tries one more time 'i wanna be where you are, mickey.' but mickey doesn't given in, he says ian doesn't belong there and ian is so ready to argue cause who fucking cares if mickey is a thug who can handle prison better? and ian is not? he loves him and wants to be with him !!!!

but he stops when mickey tells him he has to get out, be an uncle, get a job. the things he knows ian wants in life but?? ian shakes his head he's so done with leaving mickey behind he wants him he doesn't care about anything else

he's angry, trying to calm down, ready to argue back until mickey reassures him that he's going to get out soon!!! they're going to be together!!! he's not going to leave!!!!! mickey he's sorry for asking ian to stay with him which probably worried him more, cause of course you would want your lover to stay with you, right?? right?? why is he regretting that now?? and ian says he loves him. he says them shyly, insecurely? as if he doesn't know if mickey believes that he loves him, trying to say that he loves mickey and that's why he wanted to do what he asked him to.

I'm trying to analyze why I'm so entranced by Gallavich kisses and not as much by other couples (not just Shameless,from other shows as well), and it's not just the actor's chemistry, I think it's a combination of body movement, as they seem to be attuned to each other, but also there's something in the angles and the way they act when they kiss, like suddenly giving the camera the best view has become a secondary objective?

So the camera is sort of chasing the action rather than the actors putting it directly on camera.

For the most part I think they really just... get you with the kisses, and then you stay cause these two could literally have an apocalypse happening around them but they wouldn't notice as long as the other was around.

[marvelling-at-marvel-blog]

I find Trevor from shameless the most frustrating characther.

When he first introduced, I really liked him, the way he could really help Ian explore life outside of his southside world and more of the LGBT world was interesting. And I love the actor who plays him, but his character just did not work, and I know why. It was bad writing. (Also, I have to admit I didn't feel the chemistry between the actors, even if they were both playing their roles well.)

Now, first off, I think that Shameless really dropped the ball in writing new characters after season 5 or 6. Especially love interests. In the early seasons, all the Gallagher's interests were people outside of their relationship with a Gallagher. Love or hate them. I could tell you plenty about them, and they interacted and had storylines outside of their love interest.

I mean, think of Karen, Jimmy, Mandy, Shelia, Mickey and even Svetlana.l. They were all interesting outside of just being a love interest, and they all had personality and backgrounds. I really think Shameless lost that in their later seasons writing.

See Kelly, Trevor, Tammi, Caleb, Ford and Cassidy for example. It felt like they purely existed to only further thier LIs storyline. Even the writing of Mickey, when he returned as a main character, wasn't as in-depth as it was in either early seasons.l and just seemed to be more to drive storyline and comedy than in-charachter for him

So, back to Trevor. I wanted to like him, and I did for his first few episodes, but his writing frustrates me so complelty. I think as a person who also works in social services, his actions and contradictions make no sense. So in the episode that Mickey comes back when Ian goes to see him, he is really busy because his trying to place a kid. And when he thinks if he can't, he says he may have to just let them crash on his couch. Which pinged me as completely inappropriate as a social services worker as you can never have a child just say on your couch like that as you are crossing so many professional boundaries and as he rightfullylayer says can give the wrond ide. But in S8, when Ian has that girl stay over, he (rightfully) tells Ian that is completely inappropriate and then gets really mad at him for it, which just made him annoyingly hypocritical.

He is apparently working with at risk youth and abused kids, yet he tells Ian that Monica is trying and to give her another chance as Ian is being unfair to her, that he is being to hard in her. Crazy. I could not think of a single person in this job who would have that attitude towards neglectful or problematic parents. Because anyone in this job would know setting boundaries is healthy and that anyones trauma is thiers to feel how they feel about. Same with the way he treats Ian's grief after losing Monica. When he takes him to the place with the chubby guys, they lost me completely.

Then we have the idea that Ian was clearly sprialing later in S8 and going off his meds, but Trevor seems unaware even though anyone could see it let alone someone with any kind of training.

His writing is just so bad and seems literally to be only to serve Ian's storyline and screw his character development outside of that. Especially in S8. Then he doesn't even appear at Ian's court preceding and just disappears

I think he could have been good for Ian. And I think with the lack of chemistry I felt between them maybe they should have just been friends after the whole cheating thing. And maybe it's the fact that Cameron's chemistry is off the charts with Noel that made it really feel like he had none with Caleb or Trevor but that doesn't make up for bad writing. I get that writing a new post-Mickey love interest is hard after how much fans love him, but the writers can only blame themselves for that too as the never wrote a good ending storyline for a loved charcther they though was leaving for good at end of S5.

Shameless really lost a lot for me when they stopped writing their supporting character as interesting people outside of their relationship.

Trevor is my example charcther of that. That actor deserved better.

anon is me btw, this is about my interstellar ian au! 

there’s a few posts/snippets of it on my page and under the tag ‘Interstellar Ian AU’ but here is the main post

i really like your autistic!mickey hcs and i support it but I've been working on my first gallavich fic and i accidentally made ian autistic coded?

in the au, he's an actor/host of a kid's show and you learn that he did a charity photoshoot with "the neurodivergent youth project" (made up resource program) and he's generally knowledgeable about neurodivergency since he works with all sorts of kids because i just wanted to establish that he's a generally supportive/understanding person, but then you look at some of the traits I gave him and it's just like !!!

he's always stimming and he describes his thoughts as 'bubbling over', which results in him rambling a lot, especially when specific topics like his show or his favorite things come up. he develops a habit of repeating things other people say, and there's also a whole conversation in chapter five of the fic where he explains how he relies on routines and detailed plans.

the best part is that mickey doesn't question these traits and is supportive of all of it, which shocks ian because there are very few others in his life that don't find some of it annoying. and as he gets to know mickey, these specific traits become more evident. accidental unmasking allegory ig??

i know that there is more to autism and that it shows in other ways but i just think it's funny I did this mostly on accident. i inserted a moment in chapter five where it's established that these traits 'landed Ian in a doctor's office at the age of seventeen', so I might use that to build up a subplot where it's eventually revealed that he was diagnosed in his late teen years

i didn't mean for this to be so long i'm so so sorry, i just thought that maybe you'd find this occurrence funny

anon you really said: *shoots your blorbo with the autisticification beam"

at first my illiterate ass thought you meant mickey was the host of a childrens show and my brain started making up a scenario where his parole officer gets him a job working at for a channel like PBS bc they hear he has a kid and at first mickeys like "great awesome i have to herd kids on a tv set AND i hae to cover my tattoos" but he eventually realized hes good with kids and enjoys going to the kids' green room and reading stories/talking to them and then i reread your ask and realized you said IAN not MICKEY

i know nothing about BD but i see no reason why ian couldnt have both BD and autism. the tism is a spectrum so theres no one way to look or act autistic

ian would LOVE infodumping on mickey and mickey is never one to feign interest in something thats not his special interest or hyperfixations, but he just really likes watching ian get excited about something and be so smart about a certain topic. i can definitely see this ian unable to sit still and constantly needing to jiggle his leg or do something with his hands. also consider mickey embracing all of ians quirks bc hes like "oh cool finally someone who's like me" ⁉️ and ians LOVESSSS seeing mickey stim and infodump and wearing earplugs in public and having echolalia HARDCORE (my personal headcanon) and ians like!!!!!!! theres other adults just like me and this one also happens to be very cute and hot and fun to be around and easy to talk to!!!! a4a gallavich is chicken soul for my soul

[bish-plz-haha]

Okay I have kinda an odd thing to say (it's like 1am, don't judge)

No. 1:

Oliver Stark and Cameron Monaghan are each others celebrity lookalikes

Exibit A:

NO. 2 (which isn't odd, just an observation from an aspiring actor):

They have the same acting style. No joke. If you watch the big show Cameron is kinda known for (Shameless US) and you watch Oliver Stark (9-1-1), there is a BIG similarity between behaviour and speech patterns and their movement through scenes. You gotta watch and listen closely, though.

I'd love to see these two work together just to see how they play off one another.

This is all.

I'm just saying: these two are similar, and I'm living for it. But I'm also scared by it bc now I can't unsee Buck and Ian. 🙄

Ps. Both actors play queer characters, and I love that. Represent! 🏳️‍🌈���

[theyaremycrocsyoudonut]

Motherfuckers of the Shameless and, more specifically, the Gallavich fandom listen up. Just because you like the ship, does not mean you get to comment rude stuff about Cameron's and Noel's girlfriends and wife under their social media posts. I love the ship too. It gives me incredible amounts of serotonin. BUT THERE IS A VERY CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE SHOW AND REAL LIFE. The actors behind your favourite characters are humans too. They can see the stuff you comment and so can their loved ones. I thought we all learned that a character is not the same as the actor that portrays them when we were like 10, but apparently some of us are still struggling. I've seen so many comments bashing on Noel's wife and like. Why? What in the actual fuck is wrong with you that you can't distinguish between a SHOW, a literal work of fiction, and the ACTUAL every day life we are all living? If your media literacy is so incredibly low or if you are actually this delusional please get off social media for a little bit. It will probably be good for you.

In conclusion:

Ian Gallagher ≠ Cameron Monaghan and

Mickey Milkovich ≠ Noel Fisher

So, pretty please, with sugar on top, stop fucking acting like it.

Interstellar Ian - gallavich kid’s show au

i can’t find a discord server to ramble about a gallavich-centric au i’m working on so i’m gonna ramble about the concept here. I am writing a fic for it so I’m not gonna go in depth on the specific plot points, just the idea/background/set up

if you are interested in specifics, though, i’ve already posted a few excerpts from chapter one on this blog under the tag ‘Interstellar Ian AU’. 

so seriously hear me out here

ian gallagher is the host of a kid’s show in the same vein as Lazy Town, Blues Clues, etc. He serves as the host who takes the viewers through adventures in a space setting in a show he scored when he was fifteen: Interstellar Ian. it’s on PBS Kids, which is a educational kid’s channel here in the US that is publicly broadcasted and easily available to everyone for free via libraries and youtube and such. shows like Arthur and Sid the Science Kid aired there. it’s actually a really good resource for low-income families with kids but that’s a rant for another day. ian’s show is on their roster!

Frank scammed his way into getting Ian one of his first minor roles when he was fifteen but from there, it was all Ian working his way up. Being an actor screws with all of Ian’s plotlines/erases them even down to the earliest episodes in season one, but most of the rest of the show’s canon still plays out the same except the family’s financial strain isn’t as high for a couple years while fiona uses his income for the household. 

it kinda evens back out once ian is an adult and moves into a little apartment closer to set and becomes independent. Ian continues hosting this show into his early adulthood, even though it’s starting to become evident by season eight of Interstellar Ian that they are starting to run out of fresh content and maybe should’ve wrapped it up a few years ago. 

Instead of dating Mickey first, Ian actually meets Trevor (trans guy from around season six/seven) FIRST bc he costars on the show during some of the earlier seasons. they have a secret relationship and it eventually goes public, drama, drama, drama, and oops Trevor isn’t an actor anymore and he goes on to open his shelter/queer youth program. Ian and Trevor are on good terms by the main timeline of the fic though 

ian remains host of the show and after the initial drama, he becomes well known as a queer icon/actor, especially for young ppl who watch the show/grew up watching it

During the filming of season seven of interstellar ian, Ian also messes around with the new director on set: Caleb the ex firefighter. They don’t get caught or anything but there is still drama and they decide to step back and Not Do That Anymore 

Ian has a Thing(tm) for messing around with cute guys on the set of his show and he swears off of it forever. 

forever lasts until there is a new electrician hired to the set, reformed criminal!mickey milkovich

in this universe, mickey decided to stop being a major nuisance to the world because mandy got custody of their half-sister from earlier in the show, Molly, and he wants to be able to help them out or at least not cause more problems for them. so he took a course and is a certified electrician who signs a contract with the show because he needs long term + stable work. 

Ian can’t drive. he just doesn’t have a car, he never got a license because he got caught up in the acting thing gig around the age that he should’ve gotten it and now he has too much pride to do it. so he leaves the set an hour or two later than basically everyone else. everyone knows this, he was even given a key to the warehouse they film the show in because of it

so, when mickey starts showing up as the actors and crew are leaving to fix flickering lights and switch around wiring, the star of the show is still just There. because despite being famous and rich, his main form of transportation is the public kind and that’s inconsistent 

ian and mickey meet due to this overlap in schedules and ian spends the first chunk of the fic struggling because he doesn’t wanna mess around with another guy from set and cause unneeded drama, while mickey seems to like him- but not because he’s an actor/minor celebrity, just because he’s “pretty or whatever” 

that’s the general gist of what’s going on, but some other cool details include: svetlana stars as ian’s hairstylist/makeup artist who faked her way there with a forged cosmetology certification, mickey has one pierced ear and maybe a cat, ian takes care of franny a lot + mickey steps up for his younger half sister: molly (so you get like, familial/dad-like gallavich at a few different points), the fic is ian centric and in his pov, and there is a multi-chapter gap in the fic where gallavich “aren’t dating” but are basically in a relationship and I know some of you guys love that trope based off of most of the fics i’ve read in this fandom 

I think that’s all I wanna reveal but if you have questions or thoughts, feel free to reblog/send me an ask with them! the plot plan for this thing includes 15 chapters total and i’ve written 4 of them in their entirety. I’m thinking i’ll write all/most of the fic before I start posting it, but we’ll see what happens!

if you wanna know when this fic goes up, make sure you follow this blog. I’ll be using the specific tag ‘Interstellar Ian AU’ to organize information on this, as well. thanks <3

Shameless 10x12 "Gallavich!"

[m4ndysk4nkovich]

its so icky when people ship cameron and noel… yes, theyre great actors and have great on-screen chemistry, but noel is married and cameron has a girlfriend so…

[alchely]

Do you guys think Cameron was maybe juuuust a little bit in love with Noel? Or at the very least seriously attracted to him?

I'm not someone that ships real actors,but I see all the people Ian is with in the story and the STARK difference in chemistry is kinda crazy,I have to wonder if it was the scripts fault or just something that came naturally to the actors.

Maybe it was a conscious decision by Cameron to act "less in love" with both Caleb and Trevor, maybe Noel is just THAT good of an actor to bring out these kinda responses out of ppl, idk. 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ
