#ian: interaction

Alien (1979)

[ohnopeh]

i love the idea that ian finally understands he had been making mickey believe he wasn't loved enough for not singing the paper.

he goes to mickey showing a ring and mickey is hopeful but also wary of what is happening, then ian says it

i love ian, but darling, you can be a bit dumb (its okay you are learning)

what could have mickey possibly thought? that ian will marry him cause gallagher keep their promises? that's all to it? is it not because he supposedly loves him and genuinely wants that?

the look on mickey's face as he realises what ian said makes me think that it was the moment mickey fears were ''confirmed''. ian didn't love him enough, of course he wouldn't, why would he? ian bought the promise ring, yes, but he still wouldn't wear it but hang it on his neck where he can hide it, is mickey not it? and then mickey says it

he realises mickey had been thinking ian didn’t love him and that’s it, he tried many times. by coming out, being there during the whole diagnosis, being broken up with but still thinking of him and hoping to be together, thinking he will be with him in mexico and then getting himself back to prison so that he can be with him, support him through all that. but that was it. he didn't have it in him to fight for them anymore, he had the rights to finally put himself first and say ''that's enough''. ‘you don’t love me enough now, and that’s fine, it’s cool.’

but ian fucked up. he now knows that mickey believed he wasn't enough, he wasn't the right one for ian.

it didn't even cross his mind that it could have been a possibility, cause since the diagnosis, ian had been so sure that he wasn't worth of mickey and the pain that comes by being around him, loving him.

so ian thinks : how can you ever be so sure you love me? how can you even possibly be in love with me when i have such disorder that won't make it easy for you? what do you even see in me to think i'm worth all of that?

the only explaination ian can think of for someone like mickey to fight so hard for their relationship to work is that : he's either crazy or he never experienced any other type of relationship before.

cause ian has, ian has dated other people after mickey and none of them loved him. one cheated on him, gaslighting him that it was okay cause it was a chick and not a guy. the other made it a challange for ian to be attracted to him, didn't respect ian when it came to his trauma regarding monica, didn't really care about ian being off his meds, being more concerned that his mania was making him the star of the news and not what trevor really wanted. mickey had never done that, mickey had always been there for ian and he knows that— he knows that mickey is the one he loves and the one that will do anything for him. he broke up with him because he loved mickey too much and wanted him to be free.

being with those people made it impossible for ian to even pretend that mickey wasn't the one he loved and that loved him back.

but mickey? he never had a relationship other than the one with ian, so how could he know that ian is the one if he never dated anyone else? someone ‘normal’, someone that wouldn’t make him worry and watch for his mood swings?

ian is telling mickey that he has a choice to do better— he’s telling him that out there, there’s someone that won’t hurt him, that won’t make mickey think they’re not in love enough to take the big step with him. cause ian knows mickey is everything— but how could mickey know that ian is that for him too?

i love how mickey’s expression changes as ian speaks. it's the moment it hits him that ian loves mickey enough, he loves him too much so that he questions himself just as much, deciding for both of them (once again) what mickey needs and who he shouldn't be with.

and i love that mickey finally understands everything, he understands why ian broke up with him in s5 and tried to move on and pretend mickey wasn’t what he wanted. mickey's first reaction is just to shake his head and say ''jesus christ, ian.''

and ian looks so confused, he might be thinking : what did i say wrong? i know i am right, you know that this is true. i'm a problem, i'm not worth it, can't you see? but that's mickey’s limit, it was ian’s moment to work on his not worthy of your love shit and realise that it’s all bullshit cause mickey is all in for them. he always has been no matter what.

and mickey knows so well that he can't do anything else to prove it to ian. he straight up tells him the answer to lip's ''figure out why you don't wanna marry him.'' 'cause he doesn't believe he's worth it. but mickey has proved him enough, mickey has told him what's ian true fear is and its not mickey's love for him that will fix it. it was ian's job to work through with it (and he did!! of course he did) back when this episode came out, i was so angry and frustrated about it, i guess growing up makes you see things differently uh?

[thepatronsaintoffilth]

Just a few of the men at smosh putting in that fucking werk

[theweirdcobrakaifan]

I saw this video on TikTok and I hate everything it says especially when it refers to MPK as a baby making machine

And saying that Thomas didn’t want to Mary to interact with any of her co stars like what!

@macchiatosdumptruck @merv606 @rosie-tyler I’m very confused with this whole video they literally love each other so much I think this person is just saying things at this point

[colorsisgoodactually]

OOOOKKAAAYYYY... I should really be sleeping buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttt yeah no I'm gonna jump on the "Professor Victoria" is Maria's sister train.

A few things that I've clocked that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere (though I could be missing them) that strike me as notable clues:

I always found it odd even before we had any kind of information about T that her note specified "Gerald AND MARIA'S lives too." If their interest was purely academic it would make more sense to just say Gerald's life. Or perhaps even Gerald and Shadow. But why Maria? In universe Maria was a just a sick kid. The only reason that someone would specify her was if they had a personal interest in Maria as well. Which would make sense if you were an estranged relative.

Gerald's sons are said to have split his passions for archeology and robotics, and the implication seems to be that his kids have followed suit. Ol' Eggy is clearly the son of the Robotics kid, and if I'm remembering correctly I think it's Maria's interest in learning all about the earth is tied, at some point, to her father's archeological interests as well (in the sense that she's kind of taking after him in a way). Tori being a history professor fits neatly within this established trend.

It's been pointed out that Victoria ends the same way as Maria but what I've seen nobody point out is that it also contains all the letters of "Ivo." Coincidence? Probably. But still neat. And given that there's been a LOT of coincidences so far it wouldn't surprise me if that was intentional on Flynn/Sega's part.

Okay but if there's another Robotnik running around how come that's never come up. And how come she just goes by Professor [Her First Name] I assume Tori's answer to that will be something to the affect of, "If YOUR last name was Robotnik would YOU go around advertising it?!?!

All told I'm fully in support of this theroy and for one welcome the newest member of the increasingly wild Robotnik family tree.

Quotes + Mean Girls

associating angsty quotes (and some fluffy ones) to mean girls characters and dynamics, this is definitely longer than it should be and will probably be part 1 of many but anyways. lmk which were your favorites and which ones ruined you :) also shoutout to the cautionary tale discord who saw some of these already and ramble about these characters with me <3

Notes on the wrapped in general under the cut

Suprise! 🥳 I'm planning to do a little statistical wrap-up for a lot of the Smoshblr December Asks!

Obviously someone/-thing "winning" this, isn't meant to convey that the winner is better/has more value than the others. I just thought it might be fun to see how the answers varied amongst all the lovely people who participated in this lil event 🫶 And for anyone who is only seeing this now, feel free to let me know your own top 3 cast members in the notes! 🤗

I, of course, won't be including any of the more personal answers/questions in this! Only the very Smosh specific plus some of the more general topics like movies, nature etc. 🤗

But if anyone is still worried/doesn't want certain answers of theirs to be used in these stats, they can always feel free to message me directly/send an ask. And I will ofc respect their wishes 🫶

In terms of scheduling:

Idk when the rest of these will come out. Maybe you'll see #2 next week already, or maybe it'll take me a bit longer 😅

In case any of y'all are interested, I might post a poll on which topic gets covered by this lil wrapped series next! 🤗
