#fiona and steve

[calummss]

unpopular opinion but jimmy-steve was fiona’s best boyfriend. he fit into the gallagher household so well, genuinely cared for fiona and her family. he matched their energy and vibes

“but he lied bla bla”

fiona wasn’t perfect either. they both had their flaws but that’s what made them such a good team. he was the only boyfriend to truly give a fuck about her and her family. within a week he was making breakfast, moving passed out frank aside….like that’s fiona’s soulmate right there

Jeremy Allen White as Phillip “Lip” Gallagher in Shameless.

FIONA GALLAGHER & KEVIN BALL Shameless (US)

[m4ndysk4nkovich]

i know some people may see this and disagree, but honestly, i don’t care- lip was not at all at fault for not calling the cops on kash and some people need to stop acting like he was evil for not doing so. while i do think he should’ve, my main issue with it is that we always acknowledge that ian was a child at the time, but never seem to mention lip’s only a year older. the person who should’ve called the cops was linda, the adult who instead of placing the blame on kash, placed it on ian. and with ned, it should’ve been fiona or jimmy-steve, also adults, and in fiona’s case, an adult who had a parental role in ian’s life (even if she wasn’t yet legal guardian) and instead brushed the situation off as “just sex” and dumbed it down to it all being about ned being gay. lip knew it was wrong and was extremely upset both times it happened, and expressed his guilt for not calling the cops on kash. would it have been good if lip had called and kash was arrested? absolutely. but do i think he was obligated to as a child and bad for not calling? no. that should’ve never happened in the first place and while i understand where people are coming from when they express their disappointment with lip for not doing anything about it, i still don’t feel like lip was the one who should’ve been forced to handle that situation. leave that to the adults.

Shameless - season 5 episode 6: Crazy love

[cringengl]

Fiona doesn't hate Mickey, she just doubts how good he is to Ian because she's blinded by the similarities between Gallavich and Fiona/JimmySteve instead of the differences

I used to love DVD commentaries that writers used to do for their fanfics on livejournal. Fanlore describes it as “written commentary or gloss that accompanies a given piece of fanfiction. The commentary can be written by the story's author or beta reader, or by another fan.”

There’s so many stories in this fandom that I’d love to know more about. So, I’ve made a list of questions that writers can use to do their own commentary of their fanfics.

This is open to all writers! Pick your favourite story you’ve written or your most popular or the one you think deserves some more love! Or ask your followers to suggest their favourite fic of yours!

E.T.A - I’ve made a blog for this - @shamelessdvdcommentary 💖

You don’t have to answer all the questions, feel free to pick and choose or come up with your own questions to ask!

Which fanfic is your DVD commentary about?

Give us some stats - (when you wrote it, word count, how long it took to finish, is it a one-shot/multi-chapter, etc)

What was the initial inspiration for your story?

If the story is written from a character’s POV, why did you choose this character?

What was your favourite scene to write?

How did you come up with the title?

Are there any little moments or references you hope readers will notice?

Was there anything you struggled to write? If so, how did you overcome this?

Favourite line in the story?

Did the storyline change in any way as you wrote the story?

If you are writing a particular trope or genre, was it your first time writing this?

What are you most proud about in the story? (plot, characterisation, dialogue, twist/cliffhanger, etc)

Are there any deleted scenes that didn’t make it to the final story?

Are there any ‘behind the scenes’ info you’d like to share - e.g. what’s going on in a characters head in a certain scene or how you came to write a certain line?

Reading back the story now, is there anything you’d change or add?

Would you ever write a sequel to this story?

Are there any ‘easter eggs’ in your story - e.g. references to other stories you’ve written, a trope you often use etc?

If you’ve chosen your most popular story, are you surprised by the popularity?

Were you nervous or excited to post this story?

Did you have a beta or a friend who helped you as you wrote?

Ask your followers to pick a snippet (no more than 500 words) and share your thoughts about it.

Anything else you’d like the readers to know about the story?

If you want me to care instantly about a piece of media just add a pathetic little guy who’s a bit fucked up but he’s a good dad (bonus points if they acquired the child through circumstances rather than it’s their own kid.)

Shameless - season 2 episode 11: Just like the pilgrims intended

[cringengl]

Thinking about that one time when a Gallagher had their ex abruptly come back into their life and ask them to restart their relationship and run away together, and so the Gallagher cheats on their current significant other but ultimately decides to not run away with the ex (who they have so much history with) because the life they used to have together isn't the one the Gallagher wants anymore, leaving the ex to run away without them

There’s so many stories in this fandom that I’d love to know more about. So, I’ve made a list of questions that writers can use to do their own commentary of their fanfics. And I’ve created a side blog to reblog the commentaries and hopefully create a little archive of them.

This is open to all writers! Pick your favourite story you’ve written or your most popular or the one you think deserves some more love! Or ask your followers to suggest their favourite fic of yours!

You can do this as many times as you’d like - there’s no limit to the amount of commentaries you can do. And if you’d like to tag anyone to take part, feel free! And feel free to use these questions for fics in other fandoms too! 😃

Read all the DVD commentaries so far here!

You don’t have to answer all the questions, feel free to pick and choose or come up with your own questions to ask! You can also just do a stream of consciousness type post about your thoughts and ideas of your story.

You can submit to this blog or tag me @shamelessdvdcommentary and I’ll reblog it.
