GODDDD I hate when shameless fans police the show and act like you’re not allowed to dislike the fact that Mickey was written out and how dirty his character was done throughout the seasons when he was gone and take any criticism of it as an attack on Ian. Yes many of those storylines were important for Ian and that’s good but Jesus people are allowed to miss their favourite character, they’re not evil for that and it doesn’t mean they’re dismissing the entire Mickey-less portion of the show.

#post after post after post shitting on Mickey fans like omg get over it #mickey milkovich #shameless #gallavich #ian gallagher #it’s possible to look at these seasons through a non b&w lense #I loved many of Ian’s storylines especially in s6 & 7 but I’m allowed to miss Mickey #and ur allowed to dislike how mickeys character was dismissed and spoken about by many characters including Ian #some of it was just not ok #and while we’re at it #valid discussions of the occasional imbalance in their dynamic is not the same as saying ‘Ian never loved Mickey and treated him like crap!’#discussing that Mickey has insecurities that stem from the times Ian has left him is ok and it is again #NOT the same as saying Ian never loved him #I don’t agree with those opinions either #but discussions of mickeys insecurities shouldn’t be dismissed as people saying ian loved him less that’s not what that is #the same way discussions of Ian’s insecurities due to his disorder shouldn’t be dismissed #it’s exhausting out here #learn to see the complexities of situations pls #‘Mickey fans think Ian never loved him😫😡’ no????#I’m sure there are people who think that on tik tok etc #which I don’t agree with obvs #but I’m just talking about the way people twist things to fit their own agenda #twisting valid discussions of something so complex into something so simple and wrong just to bitch at fans #and just to add I don’t agree that you should completely write off Ian’s storylines #I’m just saying that criticism of the show isn’t writing it off
