Galladrabbles: petrichor

This week's @galladrabbles is based on the prompt petrichor provided by the oh-so-talented @suzy-queued.

_________________________

"Today's word is..."

Mickey glances up from his magazine as Ian tears off yesterday's "Word of the Day."

"...petrichor."

"The fuck is that?"

Ian thinks for a second. "Remember getting stuck at the dugouts last week during that rainstorm? When I sucked your dick so good your legs shook?"

Mickey feels his cheeks pinken at the memory.

"The fuck about it?"

"That nice, sorta earthy smell after. That's petrichor."

Mickey hums noncommittedly. He can't recall the petri– whatever-the-fuck. Only the scent of Ian's citrus shampoo when he later pressed a kiss to Mickey's neck that he pretends he didn't notice.

[marvelling-at-marvel-blog]

Today I have done a lot of thinking about fictional charachters because...well my day has beeen horrible and its been better than thinking about that.

I saw a clip of shameless S1 where Mickey is dirty and unclean and I remember how a lot of people have said maybe he didn't really care until Ian came along or started to try for Ian. And sure, that may be part of it, but in my experience, there are so many other reasons people are unclean for, and I think a few would apply to Mickey.

1. I think part of the reasons he is reguarly covered in dirt is that being dirty tends to hide or blend in bruises. It is not going to work completely but enough to make people wonder if that is dirt or a bruise, or if they are seeing it properly. I imagine Terry wasn't light handed in beatings, and the kids were expected to cover for it. While teenage Mickey could say he was in a fight younger Mickey would have easily used that just some days old dirt excuse.

2. Lack of hot water or just water in his house. I don't think paying the bills on time was high on Terry's list either, and we know the house was basically a dump. It wouldnt surprise me if they reguarly had no hot water or if they did it run out quickly with the old water heater and you did not want to be the one causing Terry to have a cold shower. Or he saved the hot water for Mandy because he knows she actually really cares about her appearance and being clean

3. As a reason not to have to be with girls. In his first episode, Karen mentions that maybe Mickey is coming to find her to ask her out again and then says basically says along the lines of "I wouldn't because he smells like shit.' Being unclean and dirty means girls are less likely to want to go out with him, so he can ask the girls who he knows will say no then have it be that they are a b***ch who said no, or she don't know what she missing. He comes out of looking like her really doesn't care he got turned down but still leaves the impression his into girls. It is like a protective layer

4. I think caring about your appearance and the way you're dressed is something Mickey's dad would find pansy. Which Ugh, Terry is the worst.

5. I don't think some people really understand how vulnerable being naked in a place you dont feel safe in is. I feel like if Terry is mad, drunk, or just desires it, he would be more than happy to come for you. Being naked and unprepared is not a fun thought. So Mickey saves his showers for when he is sure his alone becauze like hell he is trusting that flimsy lock on the door (if there even is one cause Svetlana just walks in with a hammer on Ian)

Sure maybe once Ian comes along that is more incentive to be clean and presentable but I think he really starts to be clean is season 4 onwards where he knows and admits how much Ian means to him and that he loves him, no longer has go pretend to be into girls (his out or he has the excuse of his married) but also when his dad is in jail and maybe the bills are getting paid, maybe he feels safer in the house.

I just hate the common thinking of, that person is unclean because they don't care. That is rarely the real reason in my experience.

[jessij1997-gallavichxlove]

Holy fuck. Ian thought and went closer. The way he hold the gun showing his tense muscles beneath the fabric. His good intentions to not fuck the Milkovich again blurred by the view of this body.

"Hey" He greeted him, earned a shy smile.

Only minutes later Ian hold Mickey up against a wall in an dark alley.

"Fuck Firecroch. Never thought guns are a turn on for you." He presses between moans.

"Shut the fuck up tough guy. It's not the gun. It's only you." Ian admits. And then out of nowhere Mickey kissed him for the first time.

Thanks @ianandmickeygallavich1 for the weekly prompt blur on @galladrabbles.

2x07 – A bottle of Jean Nate thoughts

I’m calling it now. Karen and Jody aren’t going to last long. He’s way too sensitive. She’s just going to chew him up and spit him back out. She does not fit in with his crowd at all. Such a bad match up.

Not that she’s much better with Lip. She only wants him around when he can be of use to her. She’s incredibly selfish. Much more so than last season.

Grammy and Carl’s team up seems like a very dangerous combination. He likes blowing up things and she is evidently more than capable of it.

Frank’s desperation to get rid of his mother was funny in a very, very sad way. Fiona also wants her gone though before they lose the house in a fireball so maybe them teaming up could work?

Only brothers could go from punching each other’s lights out to going for a beer. I really hope this was the end of the Ian and Lip silent treatment. These two are much better when they’re on the same side. They don’t always have to agree of course but at least don’t fight.

Speaking of fighting, where the heck did that explosion come from Jasmine? I mean, I get her feelings were rebuffed by Fiona who is still very hung up on Steve (Jimmy? What the heck are we calling him now?!) but that still felt really out of proportion. If that’s the end of their friendship, that was a blow up I didn’t see coming but I’m not particularly sad. I much prefer Veronica and Fiona to Jasmine trying to insert herself everywhere.

Question – how has Carl never gone down the laundry shoot before? Seems like something he would do pretty regularly. Honestly surprised it’s taken him this long to think of it.

When Kev and Veronica were touring the animal shelter I was expecting them to come away with a cat or something but a rabbit? Yep, much more appropriate for them. Them calling it Ethal No.2 was cute. Especially as they took her leaving pretty hard.

couldn't miss this one this year

The fuck are you doing here?” Mickey asks, but it comes out softer than he intended. “You ask me that every year, and every year I give you the same answer.” Ian grins. “It’s Christmas.” Mickey rolls his eyes. “I asked you that last year, and I’m asking this year. That’s not every year.” “It’s every year since you’ve known me.” “I’ve known you since you were four. Don’t get cute.” Ian smiles outright. “But you like that I’m cute.”

Wildflower

You're here," Ian breathed.

"'Course, I wanna be with you," Mickey answered. Ian kissed him and Mickey pressed back. They kissed and kissed and touched until their clothes were gone and they were falling onto the soft earth. Ian marveled at his boyfriend being surrounded by a bed of blooming, colorful wildflowers. His eyes shone, his smile was so big. 

"C'mere," Mickey beckoned. They kissed some more. "Ian, Ian…

"Ian! Ian!" 

Ian's eyes opened as Fiona shook him awake. "Get ready, you're gonna be late!" 

"I'm awake!" 

Fiona gave him a look but left. Ian exhaled. Only a dream. Shit.

Thank you for the word!

Send me a word for a drabble!

[deepeststarfishsong]

I jumped into the fray a little late in the game, so this is me backtracking because I love the prompt. Thanks to @chicanomick for the @galladrabbles prompt “I’d rather have you, cursed or not” from Supernatural.

+++

Mickey honestly couldn't think of many times they'd gotten to just chill since he got out of juvie. Somehow they'd gone from sitting upright, kinda tense, to sprawled on the couch, Mickey draped across Ian's chest with his head tucked under his chin. He'd even let Ian sucker him into another Supernatural episode, even though he just didn't get it.

"I’d rather have you, cursed or not," Dean pops off at Cas over the aging TV speakers.

Mickey snorts, "They're fucking right? Tell me they're fucking?"

Ian let out a laugh that shook them both. "I like to think so."

[samthetrekkie]

quick shameless review of the first three seasons after having binged them for over a week straight: this show has some weird and lowkey cringy plotlines going on, but overall I love it. and I think from season 1 onwards it only got better.

some of the characters annoy me immensely, like karen, and - for completely different reasons - a little bit fiona (even though she's obviously a great person) and steve/jimmy bc they are a bit overacted imo (and why does she look so perfect all the time?). but apart from them, I think most of the characters are incredibly authentic. sometimes I really forget they're acting, like veronica and kevin.

and of course mickey and ian have my heart. takes me back to the early seasons of sex ed with adam and eric (except a little more violent). I only wish they had more screen time, but I hear that will be the case in the later seasons. someone said "I wish this show was only about those two" and don't get me wrong, I still like the show as it is, but I would love that. I honestly sometimes just wanna skip to their scenes, especially when there's some dumb plot going down again...

season 1 mandy (visually) reminded me so much of maeve too. (and the actual maeve and lip would really like each other I think) the recast made a completely different character out of her imo - no hate though, I still think she's an interesting character. I only loved her friendship with ian in season 1, but then the chemistry kind of disappeared with the new actress.

plot wise it's a little like sex ed too bc of all the teenager stuff and many sex scenes, but in general it's more like oitnb to me. perfect dramedy with the really serious stuff paired with dark humour (which doesn't make me laugh exactly, but I weirdly love the vibe) and I guess the social setting as well. but it also kind of reminds me of house m.d. (I think about that show all the time btw but I haven't watched it in so long), for one thing probably bc they are both set in the early 2010s. but house and frank would also have a great time drinking together - completely different ends of the education scale, but same sly cleverness and drug addiction. and very random thing to add, but that I keep thinking about: frank's not a good person but he's has been sexually abused (and actually raped) a lot in this show so far and it either gets laughed off or completely turned around. anyway, so weird that I thought this was gonna be like a comedy sitcom, but I'm so positively surprised by what it really is.

now I'm taking a break though bc it honestly got a bit too much and I unfortunately need to do other things besides watching shameless as well...

2x12 – Fiona interrupted thoughts

Season finale time!

Fiona’s empathy for her siblings constantly amazes me. She’s cleaning up her own mother’s blood in a kitchen that wouldn’t look out of place in a slasher movie and they’re what’s first and foremost in her head. I’ll admit, I’m sort of glad Steve was there letting her just process and be in her grief and pain. I think that’s the first breath Fiona’s taken all season. She wouldn’t have let her guard down to anyone else.

Fiona wanting to meet Steve’s family was valid. It felt like a test of whether he was serious about sticking around. I don’t see them having weekly family dinners though. Especially because hello? Ian’s sugar daddy hook up is Steve’s dad?! Holy shit! I laughed way too hard but oh I can’t wait to see that play out.

We did get an I love you between them. That’s a big deal. Of course his wife comes back into the picture immediately after. I’m not Steve’s biggest fan. I still don’t think he fully realises what it means to be with Fiona because he’s been so detached from her for most of this season and hey, he still has a wife! But I do love the drama they bring.

‘It’? No Karen, darling, ‘he’. You had a beautiful baby boy! She really is awful. She was never great, and I don’t really understand what Lip sees in her. He’s never going to have a meaningful relationship with her. She’s too selfish. And he’s got way too much ego so yeah. Bad combination.

All season Lip’s been wrestling with the idea of making sure ‘his kid’ never felt abandoned like he did and him just watching Karen walk away from her own was tough. Is he reminded of Monica right now because I am.

I enjoyed Lip and Jody’s small bonding moment over Karen. It was amusing.

I loved Tony just straight up refusing to take the baby away like Karen wanted.

Monica blew out of town as fast as she came back in. She’s a tragic character. She knows exactly how to help herself and checks herself in to the psych ward, but it was obvious she was never gonna stay there. Crazy attracts crazy evidently in the Shameless world because she breaks out with a new girlfriend. Probably not a bad thing she’s gone, honestly.

Fiona passed the GED! Lip returns to the family home! And Este gets a moment of greatness by knocking Frank out with a frying pan!

Awesome finale! I can't wait to see how the next season plays out for this crazy family!

@galladrabbles! This week it's a prompt from @badassfetish - Wild by Troye Sivan! Here's a bit of season 2 Gallavich. :) ______________________________________________________________

Ian grabs Mickey and slams him against the fence. They just finished in the dugout, but Mickey is still smirking. The shotgunned beer can lays in the dirt. 

Ian knows better than to kiss Mickey. Mickey has made that crystal clear. But Ian thinks about it all the time. 

Mickey raises his eyebrows. “You wanna go again? What’s this for?” 

Ian falters. He doesn’t know. He just knows he wants to stay with him, that Mickey drives him wild, that he isn’t ready to let go yet. 

One day we’ll leave this neighborhood, Ian thinks. One day we’ll be free.
