A/N: I rewatched Shameless and just wanted to write this. No use of Y/N // GIF not mine // AO3

Hope you have fun :) Just love to you.

The ringing of your alarm clock tears you out of your sleep. You turn from side to side and bury your head in the pillow. But, of course the alarm does not stop "Turn that fucking thing off." you get hit by a pillow. You get out of your bed and turn off your alarm. It´s finally quiet, but not for long, than your cousin Milly has decided to start her day with insults towards you.

"Fuck off and get a job." you say unimpressed. You sigh and put on a old sweater over your top. You leave your room and slam the door into the lock with a loud bang to get on your cousins nerves. You go through the stuffed hallway and to the bathroom.

You turn on the shower and wait a minute, but the water doesn't get hot. Of course, somebody forgot to pay the fucking bill. Annoyed you get into the shower, the cold water wakes you up, but it not helps you to relax. Your day is already fucking shit and its not even 9 a.m. And because it is never been quiet in this fucking house, the bathroom door opens. "I'm taking a shower." you shout angrily and bend past the shower curtain. Your brother Iggy looks at you, turns his eyes and then just sits on the toilet.

"Not my problem" he says, and lits a cigarette. You sigh frustrated, grab your towel and turn the shower out. You wrap yourself in your towel and then run out of the bathroom before your brother can really start his business. In the hallway, you run against a couple of empty beer bottles. You go back to your room, Mandy's bed is empty, but Milly is still lying on her mattress, but she's already asleep again. You slide into some fresh clothes, tie your hair back and leave your room again. The staircase is gnawing as you run down, you take a cigarette from one of the packages which are lying around everywhere here. You ligh it when you go downstairs. You look at the couch where Terry is sleeping. He smells like beer and vodka. It's a habit to feel if he still has a pulse and then turn his head to the side. You don´t want him to suffocate on his own vomit. You don't feel like removing the dead body, it's definitely a lot of work. Again you stumble over half-empty beer bottle as you go into the kitchen. You're making yourself a coffee while you're putting dirty dishes aside. Tired you lean to the kitchen counter, somewhere in the house your brothers start screaming. You close your eyes, sigh and put out your cigarette. You don't care why your brothers scream. Terry calls something from the couch, but you're sure he will fall back asleep in a few seconds. The house is always noisy. It's full of your brothers and sisters and some cousins appearing and disappearing again. Your uncle lives here, when he is not in prison.

"Is there still coffee?“ Micky comes into the kitchen, you turn to him.

"Yes." you say and give him a cup out of the cupboard in front of you.

"By the way Happy Birthday." he says and puts a kiss on your cheek.

"Thank you." you are surprised that he thought of your birthday, but that´s why he is your favorite brother after all. Micky poured coffee, opened the refrigerator and then closed it again. He leans against the kitchen counter an lights a cigarette. "What are you doing today?“

"Gallagher." you answer, and Micky nods.

"I have a few things to do, after that I will come too" he says and disappears again from the kitchen. You drink your coffee, grab your jacket, and put on your shoes. Three of your brothers are coming down the stairs. Colin calls your name before you get out of the door.

"What?“

“We want to repaint the cars today. Come with us?“ he asks, his breath already smells like beer. Does he brush his teeth with it?

"No time," you say.

"What about Mandy and Milly?“

"Mandy is not here and Milly is asleep."

Your brother nods and takes a sip of his beer.

"Everything else?" you ask annoyed. Your day started shit and you just want to get out of this shit house.

"No, why?“ You roll your eyes and just disappear from the house. When the door falls behind you, you breathe deeply. The sun shines in your face and you light another cigarette. Of course you didn't expect your family to throw you a birthday party, but the fact that Micky was the only one how think about it is a little disappointing for you. But what did you expect? You try to not let it get under your skin and swallow your sadness. You can't expect anything from your family, and yet they're always manage to dissapoined you. Damn Milkovich junk. You run down the street. You can follow the path blindly and without really having to think about it your feet automatically lead you to your boyfriends house.

His little brother Ian just comes out of the door in sportswear and running shoes. When he sees you he smiles and greets you with a hug. You're happy to see him.

"Will you come for a run with me?" he asks.

"No, not today.“

"What's in your hair?“ he wipes some shampoo out of your hair with one finger and you sigh .

“Iggy decided to fucking take a shit while I was in the shower. I just run."

Ian starts laughing. “Just go finish the shower here. We even have hot water at the moment.“

"I love you, Ian.“

"Don't let our brothers hear this.“

"Is Lip still asleep?“

"No, he was already gone when I woke up.“

"Where is he?“ you ask, surprised. You actually thought he would be here and you would spend the morning and day together.

"I don't know." Ian shrugs his shoulders. “He was home late yesterday so we couldn´t talk very much."

You bite your lip. Your boyfriend has been gone a lot in the last few weeks. And most of the time he didn't tell you where he was. He even forgot a datenight. Something that has never happened before. Your stomach tightens. Even if you don't want to, the thoughts have already occurred to you. Is he cheating on you? Again and again in the last few weeks you thought about it. Lip had become inattentive and hadn't been home even though he said he would be there. Suddenly he had less time for you.

"Does he have another?“ the words just slip out of your mouth. Ian looks at you as if he was hit by lightning, then shakes his head.

"Not that I would know.“

"Would you know?“ you asks quietly.

“Lip tells me everything.“ he answers in a confident tone and smiles at you. "Do not worry. Would Lip also tell him that he cheats on Ians best friend?

"Okay. Then I'll just wait for him." Ian nods to you and then puts on his headphones in, you turn around and run up the stairs to the Gallagher - house, while Ian goes for his run.

The door is not locked and when you enter you are welcomed by the smell of coffee and breakfast. Fiona rummages around in the kitchen with panes, pots and plates, while Debby and Liam sit at the table. A cell phone clamps on Finoas ear and she talks with somebody on the phone in a stressed tone. Nevertheless, she smiles when she sees you.

"Good morning," says Debby.

"Good morning Gallaghers," you greet them all.

"Lip is not there," says Debby as she eats her bread.

"I know," you say.

"Debs, we have to go." Fiona ends her phone call and claps in her hands. "Can you wake Carl up? I have to go to the dentist with Debby and Liam."

"Yes, I do. Is it okay for you if I wait here for Lip?"

"Of course. Liam shoes.” Fiona slides past you stressed and throws a jacket at Debby. The little girl pushes her bread into her mouth and then lifts the little Liam out of his chair. Five minutes later, the three are out of the house. You run up the stairs, the door to Lip's, Ian's and Carl's room is slightly opened and you push it up. Carl is lying on his bed, sleeping deeply and firmly. You bow down to him and shake him slightly on the shoulder.

"Waken up Little One." He's just rumbling and turning away from you. You just take the blanket off him. "I said wake up."

"I don't want to."

"You have to. Get up."

"It's summer holidays."

"Summer holidays have been over for two weeks."

Carl is annoyed, but then sits up in bed and wipes the sleep out of his eyes. "But it's weekend."

"You have to get up anyway."

"You're worser than Fiona."

"Thank you. Should I make you breakfast?“

"I can do it myself." he looks around the room. "Where is Lip?“

"I have no idea. Out somewhere.“

"Again?“

"Apparently." you say in a sad tone. Luckily Carl doesn't notice it and yawns. Then gets up from his bed. He goes pass you to the bathroom. You look around in the boys' room, dirty clothes, shoes, garbage and other stuff is all over the place. You fall on Ian's unmade bed and take a cigarette out of the pack from the windowsill. While you smoke your cigarette, you think about cleaning up the room for a while, but then you reconsider. You don´t even clean your room, why start with the Gallagher Boys room? You see Lips math textbook and pick it up form the floor. You open it on the page where the tasks for your homework are. Thank God Lip has already written the solutions to the sides in his messy handwriting. You throw the cigarette out the window and get out of bed. You search through the things on the table for pencil and paper and start to write down the solutions. Why do you have a genius as a boyfriend if you don't sometimes steal his math homework? When you're done with copying, you put the textbook back. Then you get up, you listen to Carl down in the kitchen, hoping he won't burn the house down while trying to make breakfast. You go to the bathroom and take a shower. As Ian promised, the water warm up after a short time. You quickly slip out of your clothing and get under the hot shower. For the first time today, you feel relaxed. You don't know why your day is so shity . Your birthday isn't so important to you that the fact that everybody but Micky forgot about it should ruin your day, but it still makes you sad. Besides the constant doubts about whether Lip is cheating on you or not brings your mood further down You close your eyes and let the hot water run over you. As you finally wash the shampoo out of your hair, you feel a little better. You turn off the shower again and put on your clothes again. You're glad you found a clean towel for your hair.

You go down the stairs, Carl has managed to make cereals and is sitting at the table now.

"I made you coffee," he says.

"Thank you, Carl," you say, and take the fresh cup.

"Fiona said I can go to the old tracks today," he lies.

"Fiona didn't say that." Carl looks to the side and pushes his lips forward. "I'm not Fiona. I won't forbid you to go."

"And you won´t tell Fiona anything?"

"I won't lie if she asks." Carl smiles, jumps up and leaves the house. Immediately you are surrounded by silence. When you woke up this morning, you wanted silence. Now the silence in the house makes you feel lonely. You drink your coffee, which is a little too strong, but you're touched by Carl's gesture. He's chaotic, but he's a nice boy. The door opens, you turn around and your heart jumps when you see Lip. Without being able to prevent it, you have to smile.

"There is my birthday girl," he says when he sees you. He comes to you through the living room into the kitchen and puts a kiss on your cheek. "Have you been here for a long time?" he asks and sits next to you. Immediately his hand finds yours.

"No, maybe an hour. Where were you?"

"Outside" he answers you. You nod and your stomach cramps again.

"Where are the others?"

"Everybody is on the way. But Ian should be back soon."

Now Lip nods and stands up. "I'll be right back, wait here," he says and goes up the stairs, confused you stay sitting at the kitchen table. A few minutes later, Lip comes down the stairs again. "Are you ready?"

"For what?" you ask.

"For your birthday surprise," he says. Immediately your heart beats faster again and you can only smile. A birthday surprise? For you?

Quickly you tie your still wet hair in a ponytail and get up from the table.

"I'm ready," you declare. Lip smiles, bends and expresses a quick kiss on your lips. Then he takes your hand and leads you out of the frontdoor. There is a car in front of the house. You don't know enough about cars to recognize the brand, but you know enough to realize it is a expensive car.

"I have borrowed it from Steve" Lip answers your unspoken question.

"You borrowed a stolen car?"

"Yep. But before you say anything, all your brothers' cars are also stolen." You're turning your eyes, but he's right. Lip opens the passenger door for you and you slide onto the soft leather seat. You've never been in a car that expensive. It's not comparable to the car your father drives and you sometimes secretly borrow to practice driving. No driping oil, no cigarette-smelling, dirty seats, no crumbling engine. Lip sits on the driver's seat and starts driving, after he turns on the engine. Lips driving does not reveal that he doesn't have a driver's license. You press the button on the door and the next moment the windows roll down and the warm summer breeze blows around your ears and hair.

"Where are we going?"

"To a nicer place." Lip puts its hand on your thigh as he drives through the south side and a pleasant tingling spreads under your skin. It's almost disgusting how in love you are with him. For a second, you ask yourself if these hands have touched another woman this morning, but you quickly push away this thoughts. Today is your birthday and you're spending it with Lip. He has planed a surprise just for you. He wouldn´t do that if he didn't love you. The area is rapidly becoming better, the shops with broken windows, the graffiti-sprayed house walls and the unmaintained courtyards disappear from your sight as you leave the Soutside behind you. It doesn't take long and Lip parks the car in the parkinglot of Grant Park. "Grant Park?"

"It's beautiful here. Perfect for a picnic."

"We're going to have a picnic?" you ask surprised, but you can't get the smile out of your face. It sounds dumb, but a picnic is something you always associate with bored housewives and teenagers from rich homes. Sitting on a blanket in the park and eating snacks? Only people in movies do that. Milkovichs don't have time for that. Your family more likely spend the days stealing, drinking, smoking, fighting and other criminal things to get some money in your pockets.

"Stupid idea?" asks Lip, and uncertainty flashes through his eyes. You turn to him, bow over the car's middle console and kiss him.

"Perfect idea," you say. Immediately the smile is back on his face again, he kisses you again quickly and then gets out of the car. You grab the door handle, but Lip calls a quick. "Don´t touch this." and you're pulling your hand back. He comes around the car and opens the door for you. Then he reach for your hand and help you out of the car. You didn't even know your boyfriend was a fucking gentleman. If his brothers would see him now, they would laugh at him.

The sun shines in your face as you look around. People are everywhere and everyone seems relaxed and happy. You see mothers with their children, elder people on a walk, and families running across the meadows. Everything seems somehow slower here, nobody seems stressed. Lip goes to the trunk, takes out a bag and a cooler and comes back to you. You reach for the bag to take something off him, but he pulls the bag away from your hand, hangs it over his shoulder, and instead grips your hand. You go hand in hand into the park and find yourself a nice place for your picnic. Lip lays out a blanket he brought and places the bags on the side of it. You make yourself comfortable on the blanket and hold your face in the sun.

"You're beautiful."

You have to bite on the inside of your cheek so you don't laugh because of the awkward feeling Lip's words left as you turn your head to him. He's sitting next to you and just stars at you. "I know I don't say that often enough. But you're beautiful." You can feel the red on your cheeks. You've never been good at accept compliments.

"Softy," you say with a smile and kiss his cheek. Lip slips closer to you and puts a arm around your shoulder. You cuddle at him and breathe his familiar smell. "Also it's not true."

"What do you mean?"

"You often tell me I'm beautiful. But usually only when you're balls deep in me."

Lip laughs. "Shame on me that I speak the truth when I come." You also have to laugh and roll your eyes. Lip kisses you, the kiss is more passionate than you have expected. His lips wander over your cheek and he kisses your earlobe before he whispers in your ear. "I'll tell you later again after you came screaming on my tongue and my cock." after his words, he bites slightly into your earlobe, and a pleasant shiver runs over your neck and arms. You push him slightly to the side and laugh.

"Stop with your dirty Southside tongue you are ruinng our fancy picnic." you laugh.

"Oh yeah, of course. Wait, I'll be the gentleman you deserve again." He closes his eyes for a moment and breathes deep. Then he opens his eyes again and puts a gentle, innocent kiss on your lips. Your heart almost explodes and you beam at him like a lovesick teenager. To be honest you are a lovesick teenager.

"Idiot."

"Your idiot. But you are right its time for our picnic." he turns to his side and opens the cooler. He takes out a bottle of champagne, two large boxes full of sushi and a bowl of strawberries covered with dark chocolate, and places everything on the blanket in front of you. You love sushi, it's your absolute favorite food, even if you rarely eat it. The supermarket sushi tastes like shit and real sushi is usually too expensive for you. You always have to save on it to enjoy it, but that just makes it more special. Chocolate strawberries is your favorite dessert. You're briefly surprised that Lip knows this about you. But why shouldn't he? He knows everything about you.

You look at him shocked. "Are you crazy?" you ask. Of course you can recognize the logo on the To Go boxes. It belongs to a fancy sushi restaurant in the city, the store is said to have the best sushi in the whole city and is of course fucking expensive.

"Crazy for you."

"Lip that must have cost a fortune."

"Nonsense. Don't think about it. Today is your special day and I wanted to do something special. Besides, I can't hear your complaints anymore that you can never taste the best sushi in the city and that it breaks your heart to have to die without having tasted such a delicious treat." He overdramatizes your tone, with which you once complained that this restaurant is so expensive. You have to laugh and salp him in the side.

"Thank you," you come out and your voice shakes slightly, you're so moved by his gesture that you have to swallow in order not to cry. Maybe you are the softy.

"Everything for you, my birthday girl," he smiles. He pushes the bottle into your hand and takes two plastic cups out of your bag. "Would you?" he asks with a nod to the bottle.

"No. " you say, and you put the champagne in his hand. The last time you tried to open a bottle with a cork, you only spread the content on the floor and on your clothes. Lip takes the bottle and starts opening it. You're watching how his thumb hold on to the cork and just gently let it slip out of the bottle.

"Is there something you can't do?"

"If so, I can learn it. I'm a smart boy."

"And not arrogant at all," you laugh and roll your eyes.

"Give me the cups," he just says, and you give them to him. Lip starts pouring the champagne into the plastic cups. You take the cover from the sushi boxes and take out the chopsticks that come with it. You want to rub them together to get rid of small wood pieces, but then you realize that the wood is coated and has no wood pieces. Even the fucking chopsticks from this restaurant are fancy. Lip gives you a cup and you give him his chopsticks. You slide a little back and forth on the blanket until you have found a comfortable position to eat.

"Cheers to you," says Lip, holding up his plastic cup. You laugh, klings your cup at his and take a sip. The champagne prickles on your tongue and you can´t get the smile out of your face anymore. You look at every piece of Shushi and think about what your first bite will be. Lip is watching you closely, and a smile dances around his lips. You make your choice and when the taste of the sushi floods your mouth you have to moan, so delicious it is. You've never eaten anything better in your life.

"And as delicious as you imagined it?"

"Better," you answer.

"Thank god. I don´t have a plan B." Lip laughs and only now takes a piece of herself. You enjoy your food in pleasant silence. The sun shines on you, you hear the laughter of the people around you and everything is peaceful. Champagne and delicious food. This is the best birthday you've ever had. You're so fed up with all the sushi that you only eat two chocolate strawberries before you lay back.

"If I eat one more bite, I'll blow up."

"Me too," says Lip, but pushes another strawberry into his mouth before putting it back into the cooler. Then he whipes his hands and gives you a cigarette and a lighter.

"Are you ready for your gift?" asks Lip after you both smoked relaxedly and you actually wanted to make yourself comfortable again his chest.

"I thought this was my gift?" you ask confused.

"No, this was just the right frame for your gift," replies Lip, bending back to the bag and pulling out a coffer. "This is your gift." He handed it to you and you just stared at him for a moment. You didn't expect another gift. Lip looks at you, but the way his fingers hit the blanket next to him and the slight wiping of his knee next to yours reveals that he's nervous. You can feel tears accumulating in your eyes becouse you are moved by his gesture, you quickly blink them away.

"Thank you," you say, even if your voice sounds a little thin.

"Open it before you say thank me. Maybe you don´t like it."

"I won't." you say, but you still open the gift. On a small pillow lies a silver necklace with a small silver heart charm. There is an "L" engraved on it and your heart is beating faster. The necklace is beautiful. Now you can't hold back your tears. You can feel them running over your cheek. Lip not just remember your birthday, he even arranged a picnic and bought you a gift, and it is a nice one. No one has ever did something like this for you." "Thank you," you bring out and your voice breaks.

"Do you like it?"

"I love it. Can you help me?" you hold the necklace to him and he nods. You turn around and hold your hair out of the way, so Lip can put the necklace around you. You turn around again and smiles at him, than you lay your hands on his cheeks and kiss him.

"Thank you so much Lip, for the picnic and the necklace and the sushi. You are the best boyfriend that ever existed." you say.

"I will do everything for you." he says and smiles. His nervousness has disappeared. Your hands start to play with the chain. It's unusual for you to wear jewellery, you don´t even have real jewllery. You sigh contentedly. But suddenly a thought occurs to you.

"Did you steal it?"

Lip starts to laugh. ‘No! I bought it.After all I'm not a Milkovich." You slap him lightly on the shoulder again, even though the comparison isn't far off.

"How did you get the money for all this Lip?" you ask and your fingers touch the metal around your neck. Warmth fills your heart at the feeling of the necklace on your neck. He has given you a token of his love, for everyone to see.

"I helped Steve a little bit with the cars and gave some extra tutoring." he replies.

"Thats the reason why you had so little time for me. To finance my birthday present?" and a wave of guilt overwhelms you. He worked his ass off to fund you a nice day and a gift and you thought he was cheating on you.

"Yes, what did you think I was doing?" You bite your lip and look embarrassed to the ground. You can feel his gaze on your side, yet you don't look at him as you speak.

"Fucking another woman." you whisper quietly, but of course he heard you. He says your name, but you don't look at him. You're too ashamed of your thoughts. Lip gently puts a hand on your cheek and turns your face so you have to look at him. He sighs.

"I would never do that. Do you hear me? Never! I love you! I love you so much that it hurts. You're the only reason I don't get crazy with all the shit with my family and Frank and school and everything else. You understand me, you know exactly how shit the Southside is, how shit it is to be poor. I love you so much and you make me so happy. And I promise you I'll make sure I get us out of here. I'll make sure we have a better life. Together. You and the thought of our future together is the only thing that keeps me going." this time you can't stop the tears running over your cheeks, and your heart almost jumps out of love. You bow down and kiss him.

"I love you, too. Forever."

Random KotLC fic WIP because why not

let me know if I should continue with this crackpot idea :D

Biana screams, her face twisting in pain as she reaches a hand out of the flames, grasping for my hand. I grab onto her and pull, sparks flying in my hair and catching my cape on fire. I shriek as the flames eat at my back, but I keep pulling. After a moment, the smoke chokes me and I let go of Biana’s hand.

She screams, a long, wordless shriek of agony. Blisters erupt along her bare arm and the side of her neck. I nearly vomit, but there is too much smoke and ash in my throat. I blink rapidly, and when I open my eyes again I have lost sight of Biana.

Fitz is nearby, attempting to rescue Dex from the boulder he’s caught under. His pant leg is on fire. Dex’s face is bloody and there is a gash on his shoulder, the sleeve ripped. Dex’s leg is caught under the boulder and the fire is creeping closer.

Fitz! I transmit.

He looks up, snapping his head around to meet my eyes.

Use telekinesis!! Fitz nods and turns back to Dex. My bare feet pound on the gry grass beneath me splinters embedding themselves in my toes as I run.

Tam is battling with a figure in a black cloak. Linh is trapped under a force field, and I can see her trying to draw water outside of the glowing dome. Five ogres surround Sandor and Grizel so I turn towards them, flinging goblin-throwing stars from my cape pockets. I knock down two of the ogres, and now I can see Sandor and Grizel back to back with their swords raised. They seem like they can handle it, so I keep running. The fire is at my back now, red-hot and towering over me.

Nearby, Wylie is battling Gethen, but he seems to be losing. I pull Hope from her sheath and charge into the battle. Wylie is flashing a beam of bright purple light into Gethen’s eyes, so I take advantage of the momentary distraction and stab Gethen’s arm. I wince a little when I see the blood, but I am used to violence by now.

It’s always there, hiding in the shadows. We’ve been at war with the Neverseen for almost two years, and this is one of our most deadly skirmishes. Fintan sparked the Everblaze while we were all assembled in the Black Swan’s newest hideout. So much for that.

The hideout is surely burned to the ground by now, and Fintan seems to have escaped. Gethen, Vespera, Trix, Umber, Brnt, Lady Gisella, and dozens of other black-cloaked figures are fighting against the collective and a few other elves I haven’t met yet, about twenty gnomes, fifteen goblins, four trolls, and thirty dwarves are all here fighting with my friends and me. I haven’t seen Mr. Forkle yet, so I decide to look for him.

I close my eyes, the sounds of screams and shouts and metal against metal clanging together and the fire popping and sparking in the distance. I tune all of that out, concentrating on the sounds of thoughts instead.

This is it. That’s Tam. I keep searching.

Where is Dex?! Juline’s panicked thoughts are so clear. Sharp and piercing my brain.

GRIZEL!! Sandor is distraught, the image of Grizle with a deep gash in her side blaring into my mind. I hold back tears, but I can’t give up. Mr. Forkle is so important, he can’t be dead.

What about Keefe? I shove the thought back. I don’t have time to think about his betrayal right now. Finally, I catch a whisper: I wish my brother was here.

Mr. Forkle had a twin brother, but he died in the collapse of Lumenaria a few years ago. Months later, Keefe disappeared; and the only sign of him was the note I found next to Iggy’s cage. The memory of That Day resurfaces and I am thrown into the past.

* * *

I have just gotten home from a particularly awkward meeting with the Black Swan. I burned down the Neverseen’s storehouse, but basically no one was pleased with that. I shove my frustrations aside and grab a ripplefluff before heading upstairs.

When I enter my room, I tense. There are footprints on my flowery rug, and Iggy is a different color. He has stripes of teal and blue and purple and pink now, and –I rush closer to his cage– there is a note held under the corner of the cage. I read it, my worry increasing with every word.

* * *

To the Mysterious Miss F,

Ugh, I’m already regretting saying this. But this is serious.

I know that a lot has been happening lately, with your abilities, and my crazy mother. And I’m sorry. But I figured out a way to control myself. I hope you won’t hate me for it.

This is for the best.

—Keefe.

P.S. I love you, Sophie. Always have. Always will.

Goodbye.

Tears start to blur my eyes, but I still catch the words “I love you.”

Does this mean what I think it means? Is Keefe…. I can’t think about this. He’s just getting used to his ability. He’ll come back.

Right?

You have complete creative control over how Mickey’s storyline is handled (in a world where Noel doesn’t leave maybe?) What kind of storylines does he have and how does his relationship with Ian process? Go!

Anon this is literally THE BEST question ever thank u so much for asking!!

I’ve spoken about this before here, and here. What could’ve (& should’ve) been in season 6 and beyond with Mickey is my Roman Empire.

I’d obviously have him not go to prison, or he goes for a a couple months or so but in the end is found not guilty and released.

The main reason I would have LOVED if Mickey was in season 6 is actually Yevgeny (and Svetlana). The potential that storyline had! I would focus his season 6 arc on building a relationship with his son and how that helps him heal a bit from his childhood. That’s really where I think the writers were planning on going with his story.

I would say at the beginning, he’s still quite focused on Ian. But Ian is still pushing him away. Mickey is drinking a lot and drowning his sorrows and just in general feeling terrible. But eventually he pulls himself out of it. I think it’d be maybe Svetlana or Mandy who tells him to get his shit together. (Ian’s arc would remain largely the same but no Caleb bc fuck him).

I’d have Svetlana and Mickey still living together and him slowly warming more to Yevgeny and realizing how much he cares for him and loves him. It would have been SO good to see Mickey actively be a better father than Terry and how much that puts his own childhood into perspective for him.

He’d freak out and be hard on himself, often convincing himself that he’s a terrible dad and the kid is better off without him. But he’d be trying. One night Svetlana has to go out and he’s alone with Yevgeny and he has to bathe him and rock him to sleep and everything and Yevgeny is screaming and crying as toddlers do and Mickey is freaking out and trying not to lose it, but eventually he calms him down and rocks him to sleep and Mickey’s just like holy shit. He looks at his son and knows he’d do anything to keep him safe and it puts his own childhood into perspective bc he’s like how could anyone hurt this baby??? He’s breaking the cycle and trying not to repeat the sins of his father and we love that for him. He’s not perfect and he makes mistake but he’s trying!

Also I’m obsessed w what Mickeys reaction would be the first time Yev calls him Dada/Daddy. Maybe he’d be shocked at first and it’d freak him out and then he’d be like “yea kid, I’m your dad.”

He ends up spending a lot of time with Yevgeny and Svetlana and the three of them become a little dysfunctional family. Mickey and Svetlana hijinks PLEASE. Idek for sure what they’d be doing. But they’d spend a lot of time together, and really grow fond of each other. They become family. They still act like they hate each other, but they don’t. They’d become an accidental bestie/co parenting duo. At this point, Yev and Svet are kind of all Mickey has left, so he’d rely on them a lot. I can see him becoming really protective of them too. And family is important to Svet.

Also Mickey and Mandy get back in touch and she calls him after the dead guy incident for help and he brings Svetlana. Simply because I wanna see what Svetlana would do in that situation. Would be iconic. Also would keep Iggy and Colin in the show and have them hang out some bc they were funny and I miss them. Milkovich family bonding please!

I would like to see him still interact with the Gallagher’s - I’d definitely have him be the one to help out Carl with everything. Mickey would be the one to talk some sense into him and help him through it. I feel like he’d still sometimes talk to Debbie too. I would still have him & Ian not see much of each other, though. I think Ian avoiding him is quite in character for Ian.

One day he’s running a scam or dealing and almost gets caught and Svetlana is like “ok, we need real jobs.” And he goes out and gets a job as a bartender or bouncer somewhere.

When it comes to Ian, I think it’s better if they actually end up not seeing much of each other for a while. But Mickey hears that Ian is becoming an EMT and he’s really proud of him.

Eventually, they’d find their way back to each other. They start as friends and they both have to get passed everything that happened and Ian would have to get passed the “I’m not worthy of love” thing that he dealt with in season 10. One random way I can see it happening is that Ian hears that Yevgeny is in hospital (he’s fine, really high fever but he gets better) and is really worried so he goes to see him. Mickey is there worried out of his mind and they start talking and that’s the beginning of it.

I think Mickey’s priorities would shift and this would lead to a healthier dynamic between him and Ian. But I’ve gone into detail on that here so I won’t talk any more about it lol.

I haven’t thought all that much of what he’d do beyond season 6/7. I think in the following seasons he’d deal with balancing his family and his relationship with Ian. And also him dealing with more of his past trauma and everything (similar to what happened with Terry in season 10, and the PTSD he’d likely struggle with post canon). I’d love to see him talk to someone about it but I do feel like that’s something that he wouldn’t be ready for for years. I’d also like to see him become a tattoo artist or do any job he’d enjoy, but again that would probably be a future/later seasons storyline.

I feel like this isn’t great and I’ve worded it better other times lol. I probably have more but that’s what I’m saying for now! Might add to it if I get more ideas lol.

#ANON THANK U I LOVE U #MICKEY IN SEASON 6 MY LOVE #sorry I know u asked this last night when I was on the bus but my brain just shut off 2 hours in lol #and I had work today #but here it is!#pls anyone feel free to add or say anything about this or what you’d do #Mickey Milkovich #shameless season 6 #shameless #ian x mickey #ian gallagher #svetlana yevgenivna #yevgeny milkovich #gallavich #asks

The Night in Bowser City

Part I

Luigi folded his shirt over on the bed while Junior restlessly squirmed on the sheets. He grumbled to himself as he clearly tried to get Luigi's attention.

Larry, on the other hand, popped his head up while he giggled to himself. He slowly crawled onto the bed when he noticed Luigi packing his suitcases and paused, "Babbo?".

"Hm? Oh, Larry? What's wrong?", he hummed.

"I don't like Uncle Mario..", Larry huffed.

"How come?"

"He's always mean to Papa!", Junior chimed in as he curled up. "Why can't Abigail or Storm watch us?!"

"Or the guards..", Larry added.

Luigi sighed once he finally got the suitcase closed. "Your brothers and sister decided to go home for the winter and most of the guards are on their break. I know you all don't like it, but I don't trust Daisy to watch you alone. Not like last time...".

'I can still hear the screams...', Luigi shivered.

Junior grinned a bit, "We had the best game of King of the Castle ever! She's a true leader!"

The king shook his head, "Not when it knocked down half the west end of the castle.. they're still repairing it.. Besides, you all promised to play nice with your uncle, so no explosives this time.". His eyes trailed to Iggy and Lemmy, who grinned wildly at the sparkling bomb the two festered.

Roy quickly put out the wick and snorted at the two before they scampered away with the bomb.

Luigi sighed, "Besides, you already like Daisy, right?"

"Yeah... But he'll ruin everything!", Junior growled his tail swished violently as he laid on his stomach. Luigi shook his head , ready to rebuttal, but a knock at the door caught his attention.

Bowser slowly creaked the chamber door open and rumbled lowly as he entered the room. He smiled at the sight of his children surrounding his lover and walked over to the bedside to greet them.

Junior shuffled a bit to turn his shell towards him and huffed. Bowser blinked then glanced over at Luigi for an answer.

"He's still upset that Mario and Daisy are watching them..", he mouthed.

"I don't blame him, your brother fuckin' sucks.", he joked.

Luigi punched his shoulder as he hoisted his suitcase onto its wheels. "Aye! That's my brother you're talking about. At least try to hide your distaste better."

Bowser smirked as he nudged Luigi's neck a bit with his nose, "Ok, I really think your shrimp of a brother can handle 7 koopalings for a night. I have SOOO much fate in him."

Luigi snickered and rolled his eyes as he playfully pushed the beast's nose off of him, "Definitely helping, thanks."

Bowser nodded, "My pleasure~ Now, Junior. I know as inferior of a being that little red guy is compared to us. He's your dad's brother... Somehow-"

Luigi nudged him again. "Ahem!"

"Ok ok!", Bowser grumbled and finally flipped Junior over. "What I'm trying to say is, don't kill the poor guy. It's not his fault he isn't as handsome or powerful as us.".

Junior squirmed and landed on his side, "I make no promises!"

"That's my boy!", Bowser chanted before Luigi rolled his suitcase to the door. The koopalings took note and stammered towards him before he could turn around. The group tumbled into the hallways and plopped onto the velvety carpet.

Morton Jr whimpered and held onto a squished Luigi into a hug. The others trickled over to try and hug him, but Morton's grip was too tight.

He laughed a bit and patted the large koopaling's head once he got an arm free, "I wasn't leaving yet, just putting my things outside.. I'm not going to walk out without saying goodbye to my sweet bambini!"

Morton placed him down and once he did, each koopalings hurried over and hugged and nuzzled him. Lemmy had simply sniffled at his 'stache before he scampered back into the room with Iggy.

"DAISY!!", Junior roared.

Daisy ran down the hallway and collided with the young prince, "Hey kiddo! You ready for the best three nights of your life?! I found a better way to play King of the Castle!". She got close to his ear, "I stole Peach's crown. Don't tell Mario~", she snickered.

Junior's eyes lit up, "I can get Papa's and we can lead these guys to victory!"

The two nodded and chatted as they began to plot their game. Mario passed them with an anxious look, but dismissed his concern before turning to the large koopa before him. Bowser glared at him, his eyes never left the tiny body as he walked in.

"Mario."

"Bowser."

Luigi glared at both of them, "Really?"

Mario's face lit up immediately and he went in for a hug. Bowser looked away as he placed his tail between the two, not long before Mario lifted it over his head and went under. To the King's dismay, Mario's brotherly strength was unmatched.

The brothers gave each other a deep hug, "Why'd you have to marry a 20 pound pain in the ass?"

"You married a woman willing to falcon-kick you into the nearest galaxy for sport. I think we're even.", Luigi muttered in his ear.

Before he could respond, Luigi broke up the hug and tried to gain the attention of the group. "Excusa! Everyone, listen up."

The room still bustled as Luigi stood there with an impatient smile. With a flash of lightning he yelled again, and once the thunder rumble cleared, he spoke.

The room stared at him in shock and fear, but everyone composed themselves once the air felt lighter. "You already know your aunt and uncle will be watching you for the next few days. I trust that you'll all behave while we're gone."

Wendy snickered, "Right.."

Bowser sighed, "At least for a night. Don't destroy anything..."

Luigi nodded in agreement, "As for the 'sitters, just make sure they're in bed by 9 and that you feed them. I already made a list of allergies and Lemmy gets a bit cranky whe-"

"Lu, I get you're worried, but we've got this!", Mario smiled sweetly. "You've told us to contact Kamek if anything goes wrong and I know they'll behave... somewhat... Go enjoy your honeymoon."

Bowser lowered his head with a smirk, "Oh we'll enjoy it alrigh-"

Luigi clamped his jaw shut, "BOWSER! NO- Not in front of the kids!".

The koopa's eyes widened, but it didn't take long before he grinned and licked the palm of his hand. His eyes calmed a bit and his eyelids lowered, "Fine~"

The king couldn't help but feel his face heat up from the interaction. Mario turned away in disgust, "Just...go before I change my mind about this..."

Bowser scooped up his koopalings one more time and gently hugged all of them, "Raise hell kids!"

Once they said their goodbyes, Bowser lifted up his husband and his luggage then nuzzled him gently. "Let's go~"

Junior watched them walk into their ship and sighed. Even with a playmate, he still wished that he didn't have to be left with the brother of his dad. ".....Im going to my room."

Mario stepped forward, "Dinner will be done in a few minutes, uh-"

"Bowser Jr.", Roy said. "Do you not know our names?"

"I remember Lemmy.", he added as he pointed to Larry.

Lemmy's head raised in attention as he held Iggy's hand. "Was he pointing to me?", he asked.

"Nope, not even close..", Iggy sighed. "He's worse than Babbo."

Daisy saw a bit of awkward distress in the interaction and suggested the kids go to their room while the two checked on dinner.

The group headed further into the castle and once they turned the corner, Mario sighed. "Thanks.."

"Don't mention it. You'll get better at this.", she assured.

"I can barely connect with the brute's son."

"Your nephew... Remember?"

"Right...", he groaned and rubbed his temple.

"Maybe you can salvage your reputation at dinner, tell them a cool story!", she smiled and she punched him arm. "They're adventurers! Give'm something to latch to."

Mario thought for a bit, the two headed towards the kitchen as he pondered.

'Most of them... This isn't going to work.'.

Doodle idea: whatever moment from the last play session of The Goofy Dragon Game stood out to you the most (whether good, bad, or the 'running around and screaming because there's 10,000 enemies' shenanigans haha)

HELP I LOVE THIS I HAVE TOO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM

i found this moment where genzou and gidget decided to stare at a wall reproachfully for like 15 minutes for no reason randomly cute. did they see a ghost??? who can say. but iggy would not join them in looking at it so i imagined him being like "PLEASE GUYS WHAT IT IS" as they just stare...

like literally how the fuck am i supposed to cope with this. this is literally his worst nightmare. it’s his own previously established trauma (dio and his knives, timestop, jotaro’s probable-aichmophobia, not enough time, he can’t save everyone) and the thing he feared the most happening (his loved ones in danger the same way he was, his fucking babygirl in life-threatening danger right before his eyes, and he’s not close enough to save her, he’s not strong enough to save her, he can’t SAVE HER BECAUSE HE ISN’T THERE HE IS TOO FAR AWAY just like he was too far away when avdol died, when iggy died, when kakyoin died, when polnareff died, when joseph died) like i know he had nightmares that blended this i know he woke up in a sweat-soaked, tremor-filled fervor because he had exact images of jolyne being stabbed, jolyne being killed the way he shouldve been killed, the way joseph died, the way kakyoin died, the way avdol died, the way iggy died, and him being too far away he can’t save her he COULD have but he was too far away and she was used against him like. THIS IS LITERALLY HIS EXACT NIGHTMARE AND IT CAME TO LIFE. despite all his precautions, despite all the measures he took, despite running away from her so it wouldnt cross an enemy’s mind to user her against him, despite ruining their relationship over a “MAYBE it will keep her safe,” it still came true. his worst fear. his scream. his panic. the gasp as he looks over to her and sees. the shakiness in his voice when he gasps out “knife- knives suspended-”. it’s literally his worst fear. he was so scared. fuck

HEY! I FOUND OK KO CRUMBS!!

I was gonna make a post about it but I cba but still wanted to share it!

So I found Iggy Craig's (one of the storyboard artists for the show) portfolio website, can't really remember how, I go on weird tangents with Google searches sometimes, and it has loads of storyboards and design work of theirs on there. It's really cool early pre-production stuff really appeals to me.

There's a lot of this stuff for the Fionna and Cake episodes and Distant Lands, and OK KO! A lot of the storyboards to look through.

I've seen some animatics for episodes before but the boards here are the much earlier versions of the episodes, and some bits are different and it's really interesting and cool. Especially since I've got lines of the episodes memorised so it's cool to spot the differences.

I haven't looked at everything yet, I don't have the time haha but I looked at the boards for Let's Fight To The End, and there's quite a big difference!

The storyboards detail a longer scene of K.O. being stuck in the subconscious at the start of the episode. I took a couple screenshots.

I really like it. I'm guessing the main reason it was cut was for time. How it was handled in the episode was just a quick version of this.

Also here's a link to the boards Tumblr says the link isn't "complete" so sorry if it doesn't work or doesn't show up just search up Iggy Craig and find their page.

There's also this site called Slideshare.Net which I think all of these boards are being uploaded from, and on that site there's also boards from Ryann Shannon and Danny Ducker. There's the boards from LFTTE where TKO disempowers everyone and they disintegrate instead of lay on the ground. (As well as other episode stuff too)

I don't know how interesting all this really is to people and if it isn't I apologize haha. I just have a fascination with storyboards and animatics for cartoons and paired with OK KO I love it even more.

OH MY GOD THANK YOUUUUU I love these kinds of stuff so much you have no idea how hard im screaming rn.. new ok ko boards auhgjfkgnfjfksnd

Theres something so appealing about storyboards.. I like animated stuff but storyboards!! They're a whole thing!! It's like im looking at the building blocks of an episode!!! Cut storyboards feel like another universe's version of it where different writing decisions were made (imagining lftte as a 40 minute special rn) and spotting lines or scenes that didn't make it into the final product is really interesting. Plus looking at storyboards makes me feel like im a little gremlin digging thru someone's treasure pile and indeed i do giggle annoyingly when i find them

Anyways thanks again for sending me these !!!! youve extended my lifespan by approximately a thousand years

+ no joke i have literally been looking EVERYWHERE for the tko actually murders everyone boards since they mentioned it in the twitter ama. I am eternally in your debt

#time to freak out in the tags #STORYBOARDS!!2!2!! AUJSBDKDNNFKSK #the lines are. the lines are too crunchy. theyre too perfect for this world #someone get me my chair i need to faint #wow i was NOT expecting this right after school #see this is what life is for everyone #new ok ko boards!!!#with tko in it !!!!!!!#<<<<<<<<<#gdnnfndkdknfkksndkdk #best day of 2023 period #oh my god i need to check that website right now #im not sleeping tonight #asks #save tag #storyboard ko is so SMOL AAAAAAAHHGHBHBJJM

Another review cause I don't really feel like drawing currently ^^'

The moment I write this I'm literally on the verge of tears. Why? Because I decided to play T2A2G (guys the name is too long I'm not type all that TT) and these two guys are killing me from being so cute.

It's the first time a play in...months? A year??? IT'S BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE I FIRST PLAYED THAT!! this is a shock for me, I feel really nostalgic about it as it is the first OW related vn I've ever. Although I took some time before really getting into it, I remember I was already crazy about the characters and Iggy and Genzou's dynamic!!! I like how Genzou's always here for Iggy regardless of the context. We all need a Genzou in our life. Genzou supremacy. Imma rise an army to defend this cause.

Ooh and I'm not sure about what I'm saying but T2A2G is one of the first OW side games, if not the very first right? The texting-like mechanics made me think a lot of Cinderella (really like that type of vn btw), I like how the conversations kind of leveled up when it comes to texting. Not sure about what I'm saying but Our Cinderella is way more lively (perhaps thanks to Genzou's delightful humour and that there's no choice to make involving Iggy feeling uncomfortable/more anxious than he already is like in T2A2G). Anyway, still really like T2A2G and the classic of the home screen that changes when we get the true ending (THAT ONE GETS ME EVERYTIME, MY HEART GET ALL TINGLY AND I CRY FROM OVERWHELMING CUTENESS HOW)

WAIT ALSO THE CG WAS ILLEGALY ADORABLE IGGY IS SO SO CUTE!! THAT LITTLE BEING HE SO AAAAAAARGH.. (in case you wonder I'm perfectly sane).

Replaying that game AFTER getting to know them is another experience, I was squealing and screaming through the whole thing😭 so much nostalgia.. I recall the times where I played it on that old computer that died (it was a real antiquity. Have a new one, it still sucks but we do with it ^^')

Anyway, it was just to say that Genzy's definitly my will to live. I'd kill for them. Commit slaughter. I love them. Yes.

Out of the siblings, and Mickey as well if you want, who do you think was clingy as a toddler and who was the "Let me down! Let me out of this stroller! I can walk by myself!" toddler?

IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ASK I LOVE IT SM

since there’s so many of them i dont think that just one sibling could be one of these. it has to be at least two.

ian and debbie were definitely both clingy as toddlers imo.

according to frank, ian’s been a “drama queen” since the day he was born so i think he was clingy. i could see him following fiona around, begging her or monica to hold him constantly, or just trying to milk frank for as much attention as possible constantly. this is one of the many reasons frank never liked him. fiona would let him cling to her, monica would sometimes find it cute, but sometimes find it obnoxious, and frank would just get pissed at him for it. when he didn’t get attention from fiona or monica, he would just cry or get mad. he didn’t do that in front of frank, though, because it would never end well.

and we all know that debbie loves attention (me too, girl) so i think that she was always clingy… yet also independent? i think that she, like many toddlers, had a lot of mood swings. like, she would beg her parents or big siblings (or even kev and v) to hold her and play with her but then would get mad at them for doing so and would scream and hit them. she was (and still is) very into being independent, but she also needed all eyes to be on her and she needed comfort and attention. she has totally followed fiona all around the gallagher house, whining about wanting fiona to hold her, and when fiona begrudgingly does, debbie starts kicking and screaming and yelling, “put me down! put me down!”.

lip was definitely all the way a “put me down!” type of toddler. for all of lip’s toddler years, he was canonically homeless, so i don’t know if it would’ve been the same, but i could see fiona trying to pick lip up and lip just getting mad and hitting her. maybe frank and monica got wasted and left the three eldest children alone in a park or something, and lip and ian would be walking too slow, being that they were so little, so fiona would scoop ian up and have no problem, and she would try to drag lip and hold his hand, but he’d just throw a tantrum. lip definitely threw a lot of tantrums.

i think carl was also like lip in this way, sort of, except he was quieter about it. i could see carl being more physical, like biting or scratching or hitting if someone wouldn’t put him down, but i don’t think he’d yell or anything. being that he was the baby of the family until he was seven, he was probably dragged around a lot, and he probably hated it. we know that as a child he was very… hyper, for lack of a better word, and i bet he was constantly biting. we heard a story about toddler carl in 9x06, and he sounds very chaotic, as always.

and since you said mickey, i’ve been thinking about it, and i really can’t decide.

maybe when he was little he wanted attention from terry (and laura, whoever she was. if she was around or alive. the lore on her is so messy so let’s just say she was dead so only terry), but learned the hard way that he couldn’t get it, so he started building up walls at an early age. but maybe colin and iggy would drag him along with them to go places and they would pick him up, but mickey wasn’t used to the touch, and so he would scream and kick, bite, scratch, punch, etc until they put him down. deep down he was probably very clingy and he desperately wanted the touch, but he never really got to be so he just buried it deep inside.

#shameless #shameless headcanons #pre-canon #shameless pre-canon #ian gallagher #debbie gallagher #lip gallagher #carl gallagher #mickey milkovich #shameless us #fiona gallagher #frank gallagher #monica gallagher #kevin ball #veronica fisher #headcanons #i love to think about what happened before the show started it’s my fav #the gallagher’s as kids is my fav thing ever

Any Ash headcannons?? I know in your fic u kinda touch on strict family or sm? (If you don’t got any that’s okay thought I’d ask anyway sense you’ve done Sal and Larry lol)

Oh, yes! I have HCs for all the characters from SF! ^^ Talking about Ash now..

-Ashley is a general sweet girl. She's shy by nature but once you get to know her, she becomes more and more her true self.

-Growing up, she had a few close friends but nobody stood out to be called 'best friend'. Not until she met Maple in middle-school. The two became inseparable as Maple (who was already into the alternative scene) shared all her favorite bands and rock teenage magazines with Ashley. They helped each other in finding their best original style. For Maple, it was classic Goth while for Ash, it was post-grunge.

-Ash's favorite band and main influence will always be Velvet Underground. She fell in love for the dark, gloomy lullabies and the hauntingly beautiful voice of Lou Reed. (She shared this band with Sal and when Sal was head over heels for Ash, he'd make mix-tapes and play all her favourite V.O. songs) She also loves Pearl Jam, Joy Division, some Iggy Pop' classics and Patti Smith. (Oh, man. SHE LOVES PATTI TO DEATH. MUSIC AND POETRY AGHH)

-Photography and D.I.Y: Just like Larry, she's into sewing stuff. (The most crucial thing every 90's alternative kid must know) Band patches, messy-cropped tops/ shirts and ripped jeans. She loves to personalise her clothes and she's pretty smart in finding ways around her parents not to be too 'right in the face' BUT dress cool and stuff. (It screams grunge but like.. soft grunge if it makes any sense???)

-The relationship with her parents is pretty good in general. Yes, arguments happens sometimes and most of them gravitate around her 'dressing style' but it never escalates into anything too bad. Both her parents are generaly busy people (her father is a workaholic) but they love and want what's best for her. This implies expectations for a real money-making career and yadda-yadda. She still tries to explain to them how she'd love to go into a more 'artistic oriented' field such as professional photography. (We'll get to see what happens lol) She's also got a strict time to be home and if it happens to be late (after 8 pm), her parents would expect Larry (Ash uses him as a 'bodyguard friend') or all of the gang to safely bring her home

- as Sal moved in Nockfell and she got to know him, she instantly liked him as a friend. Silly, funny little dude that she loved to talk to and hang out with. She's very protective and supportive. She'd be the first to defend Sal whenever Travis comes around with the intentions to fuck with them. Her reacts are quicker than Larry's and she's not afraid to stand up for her all of her friends no matter what. (There are hundreds of reasons why Sal got so infatuated with Ash, I cannot even start on this but here's like one of them lol)

In time, it didn't take much at all for her to find out that Sal had a massive crush on her. (Everybody knew and giggled behind Sal's back like silly teenagers do) The knowledge flattered her so much that she actually started developing feelings for Sal. She even expected at some point (thanks to Maple's push and Larry's assurance) that Sal would finally make a move and she'd confess her feelings too.

But it.... tragically didn't happen. It wasn't because Ash was 'too good for Sal' or 'an insufferable bitch' as it's typically depicted. (My heart aches for this girl) Sal did disappoint her, not once, not twice. She wasn't into hard drugs (smoking menthol slims and a bit of weed once in a blue moon was all she ever did) and when she saw how her 'crush' got literally shitfaced by what on Earth him and Larry took... it just crashed the whole fantasy of 'knowing Sal'. In the end, she didn't knew much at all.

-She still holds onto her friendship with him even after everything that happened and even though the spark in her heart faded, she still loves him as a friend. She'll probably alwasy do. She'd always go out with him, drag him to buy some fucking decent shoes and listen to music together.

That's pretty much all the trivia about Ash, I hope I didn't bore you too much haha. Ty for the question! ^^

#ask response #sally face #sal fisher #ashley sf #ashley campbell #sf sally #sal sf #sally face headcanons #my headcanons #sal x ash

Nothing just some excerpts of Abdul yelling at everybody from an unfinished fanfiction I've had in Evernote for like 3-4 years

( Spoilers: JJBA Part 3 / Stardust Crusaders )

[Before they meet Iggy]

[Also I changed Abdul's first name to "Mashaal" instead of Mohammed because it's more unigender and he's Intersex.]

"I wouldn't shake him up if I were you. You wouldn't be able to beat him," I said.

I already saw the flicker in Jean's eyes that he had instantly taken my words extremely personally. "What did you say!?"

Not this again. At least that time, he didn't jab a finger at me close enough to make me flinch. "That's not what I meant. I can't say I would be able to beat him, either. Nor any of us, at least not solo."

"Don't decide for me what I can't do!"

Noriaki cut in, "Hey, can we please stop fighting??"

That gave me pause for a moment. Noriaki was a kid. It shouldn't have been his responsibility to keep the peace. It wasn't fair.

"Yes... I'm sorry," I apologized to Noriaki. Not for Jean, but for everything he'd had to go through. What all of us had been through.

"Would you back off!?" Jean snapped at Noriaki. "This has nothing to do with you!"

Okay. That was it. He had crossed a line.

I glared straight into Jean's eyes. I lowered my voice, but tightened it. "Don't. You ever. Speak to him, or to Jotaro, like that."

I was ready to walk away.

But Jean exploded.

"You have to have control over everyone, don't you! Acting like you know what's best, but you don't know shit!"

I froze.

There he was again, assuming I was so naïve and unburdened.

Jotaro, Noriaki, and Joseph were right there to hear everything. But I didn't care anymore.

"You don't know me, Jean! You don't know my family, you don't know what I am, what I've been through, what this world does to people like me; you don't know this place, you don't know my country! You've made it so painfully obvious since Hong Kong that all of this has been the first time you've ever taken a step outside your own turf! You don't know what's happened to me, and that I have plenty reason not to give second chances!! So quit being so fucking presumptuous already if you want us to succeed in what we actually came here to do."

[Abdul and Joseph are talking in Abdul's hotel room. Abdul POV.]

"You and Suzy haven't been talking a lot?"

"...Well, if I can be honest with you... I started seeing someone."

"...You..." I felt the ire in my face hiding behind a stony expression. "...started seeing someone."

"...Yes. As in, I've been--"

"Don't--" I held up my hand in protest and squeezed my eyes shut. "I know what the hell you meant, Joseph, don't be a patronizing asshole."

"Wow. Okay."

"...Not someone here in Egypt, is it...?"

"No. In Tokyo."

I could've screamed. "In Tokyo...!? While you were visiting your daughter and your grandson thirty days ago!? While you and I were going out for drinks nearly every night, and I was sleeping in the guest room right next to yours!? You had to betray Suzy and see this person so badly that you snuck around in the middle of all that!?"

"Oh, come on! All the way on the other side of the world, Suzy would never--"

"The point is not in the shame of being caught! It's that you did it in the first place!!"

"Haven't you ever cheated?"

"Oh! Like I would have the privilege to!? To take more than what I need!? Do you have any idea how hard I have to work to keep what I have? And yet, you, people like you, just take, and take, and it's never enough. You're ruining your family. That boy out there, seventeen years old, being forced to grow up too soon to save your daughter -- and you destroy it all, and then talk about yourself cheating like it's some trite adolescent rendezvous. So excuse me if I find it so unforgivable that you're betraying Suzy and seem not to even have the decency to feel any guilt about it."

"...Mashaal..."

"I know you've always looked down on me," I couldn't stop there. "Not because I'm younger, but because you think I'm weak. All after I trusted you enough to tell you what had happened to me. You know everything about me, Joseph. You should know very well that I am anything but weak!"

"But I do know--!"

"Don't lie to me! Oh, I'm sick of you, and everyone like you, making a sport out of playing with my head and pushing me to the edge to evade any accountability."

He made a motion to comfort me with his hands on my shoulders, and I shook with rage.

"Don't touch me!" I snapped at him.

He retracted his hands. "...I'm sorry."

I finally noticed my eyes were damp. I was done. "Get out."

(...) [ < i put this stupid elipse thing here when i can't decide how to join two passages lol ]

Joseph joined me outside in the darkness. I looked up at him but said nothing.

"...Hey..." he said, timidly.

"Hey," I said, then looked back down at the dirt.

"May I sit...?" he walked towards me.

"I don't know. Are you going to apologize to me?" I said firmly.

He cleared his throat. "Yes... actually... That's why I'm out here..."

I got to my feet and faced him stiffly. "Then do it properly."

Nervously, he knitted his eyebrows together for a moment. And then, he relaxed with a sigh, turning slightly to face me as he briefly glanced down at his feet.

I waited.

He looked me in the eyes. "I'm sorry, Mashaal... For looking down on you. For speaking to you with such disregard. For not listening to you."

I stared, and held out my hand.

He firmly shook mine. And then I pulled him into a tight hug.

Joseph warmly closed his arms around me. And then he said again, in a much quieter voice, "I'm sorry."

I reveled in the silence for a while.

And after we let go of each other, I demanded, "Now go get your shit together."
