shameless fans who didn't watch s6/7/8 because mickey wasnt in them are weak as fuck honestly. like its so annoying that "gallavich" fans only actually like half of the dynamic

i 100% agree. i think there can absolutely be a difference between shameless fans and gallavich fans, honestly. i’m a gallavich fan and i have a lot of mutuals who are gallavich fans, but i think that type of gallavich fan is still a shameless fan. if you only watch for gallavich i don’t think you’re much of a shameless fan, and i don’t think you could confidently explain almost any other characters storyline.

^ and another thing about this is that if you aren’t a gallavich fan you’re simply just a mickey fan. mickey’s absense sucked, for sure, but in most shows, there’s a good chance a character you love may not be in the whole thing. boo hoo. i just don’t think you’re an ian fan if you’ll purposefully skip seasons 6-8 especially because they’re INCREDIBLY important to ian’s storyline.

i could talk about this more later, but s6 ian is one of his best and most important eras, and it gets overlooked because people were upset he shitted on mickey and didn’t wait. i know that was an asshole move, but he still had a great storyline. it’s the aftermath of the worst point of his life; recovery. he’s trying to find himself again and he’s slipping through the cracks simultaneously. the reason he’s so distant to mickey is because he struggles with avoidant attachment and he’s trying to move on from that point in his life. that’s literally how he words it. this season introduces him as an emt and it makes him have a purpose in his life again, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

s7 and s8 he begins to learn more about his identity and manages his disorder. s7 is kind of a plateau point because he really is more stable, but when monica comes back he kind of is able to resolve his own conflict with her, yet also leave it unresolved, as she dies. and s8 is the aftermath of that and also losing mickey. (boom! there’s a reason why it’s still important to watch s8 because he’s still kind of there) in s8 he’s extremely unstable, and it deals with the prior conflicts such as him prostituting himself, mickey being converted by his father, and simply just being a queer teenage boy in an environment where it isn’t welcome. mickey’s ghost is almost still in this season because there are many callbacks to him, and even if the writing is a bit weak, it’s still important. i can’t imagine just skipping whole ass seasons because mickey isn’t there as if ALL OF THAT isn’t important to the s10/11 gallavich we all know. they met again in prison, how can you ignore what led to that?

[golden28s]

annnd i know places its such a gallavich song too.... i mean and you know for ME its always YOU in the dead of night your EYES SO GREEN and i know for YOU its always ME (cant stop thinking about them...

YES YOU'RE SO RIGHT and id say it's very s7 gallavich idk

[psychicskulldamage]

Think I should’ve?

[desi-gallavich]

hindi songs that remind me of gallavich

ok so i just wanted to make a post of all these and i'll probably add more as i find them <3

just a fyi, i can understand hindi a bit but its not my main language so im sorry if some of these don't make sense 😭 also i relate almost every song i listen to to gallavich so this might be rly long

1. bin tere

s4 mickey before he found ian at the club and also after he found him, bc now he was unsure abt his relationship w ian and he felt all lonely :(

2. zehnaseeb

"Is qadar hum dono ka milna // Ek raaz hai" SUCH a gallavich song, i feel like this is a s4 mickey song, how he came out bc he didnt want to lose ian again, and he didnt want ian to think he was just a secret

AND S5 MICKEY "sickness health all that shit" he was willing to give up everything for ian and his love 🥺

3. aankhon mein teri

S2 GALLAVICH IN THE DUGOUTS SCENE! the way ian wants to ask mickey a million things and they're starting to fall in love but they don't want to say it out loud and THE MOONLIGHT

4. zara zara

s7 gallavich. do i even have to explain this?? its rly sad but this is totally mickey pov and how he knew it wouldn't last but he still wanted to make the most out of the moments he had with ian

5. tum se hi

"Aadha sa waada kabhi // Aadhe se zyada kabhi" s6 gallavich 😭 mickey knew ian wouldn't keep his promise but he still had hope

"Chhode na chhote kabhi // Todhe na toote kabhi // Joh dhaga tum se judh gaya" THEY NEVER TRULY LEFT EACH OTHER and they always found each other and they made each other's lives better

The Gallavich Fluff Playlist!

For the @odietamo-gallavichzine and our beautiful fandom :)

I made this one first, as a true romantic, but I prefer the Angst playlist!

The Top 10

(many more songs on the full list on Spotify)

Control, Janet Jackson - I first thought of Mickey as I listened to this throwback, but now I see it fits both of them gaining control over their lives as they make their way towards their happily ever after.

Two of Us on the Run, Lucius - headed to Mexico, obviously (so many good choices for their S7 reunion, but this is my favorite) (Beyond Gallavich, I love Lucius, pair this with Right Down the Line for some beauty)

Pretty Great, Fickle Friends - as I wrote on my running playlist post, I find this perfect for the AU premise of Ian and Mickey meeting at a club, hazy, hot and f*cked up, and then that unforgettable chemistry carrying them through until they find each other for real. 

Like Real People Do, Hozier - need I explain? :) Really appreciate the intro to Hozier, personally.

Everywhere, Fleetwood Mac - the K E M A L cover is on the Spotify list, but I can’t resist the upbeat tempo of the original, and the ethereal voices of Christine McVie and the chorus. You can also hear why its bass line has been sampled a lot. This one has a lot more effervescent, whirling joy to it. 

Burning, Gorgon City - “For every pain there is pleasure.” With a club beat as tribute to the best Gallavich kiss, the club kiss 😘🔥😋🥰

Love Song, Yungblud - This song is new to me from one of the submitted playlists on Tumblr to help with these zine lists (Thank you!). The lyrics fit beautifully. “You patch up the blood and the cuts, but our blood got mixed up, so I guess we belong to each other”  

Supernova, Liz Phair - Since everything 90s is cool again. When I listen to this, I hear Mickey’s tribute to Ian, “...and you fuck like a volcano and you’re everything to me.” 

Open, Rhye - And in response, this is Ian’s devotion to Mickey, loving on his thighs, soft belly over firm muscles, and of course, those tats.

Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol - The lyrics + the acoustic version, with bonus shoutout to Ian’s future tomatoes. Let’s all just lay here with them, shall we?

[lingy910y]

S9 SWEEP!!!

Ian definitely felt incredibly shocked, like his whole world was tilted off its axis because he genuinely thought he was going to be alone! And here the love of his life rolled on the cartel to be there for him ;-; Mickey felt relieved, because he probably had some doubts about whether or not Ian would want him after all those times they parted. But they're both so happy!!!

The thing is we don't see more of their prison life until s10 which I would be forever salty about :/ but Ian said they "had fun together" so in the early days they probably had that domestic bliss!! Well as much as you could have inside a prison cell but they've finally reunited after so long and that's all that matters

I'll say proposal? Because first they both knew they wouldn't be separated for long or far, it's just this continuous game of making each other jealous (I don't really like that arc on its own) It has the least stakes compared to the other ones. So when they finally "came back together" the marriage proposal was the important part. I did like Ian being so genuine and Mickey only needing the first part of the proposal because he would marry Ian no matter what, he just needed confirmation that Ian loved him more than anything T_T

I think it's just more iconic? It shocked everyone who watched it for the first time, and the showtime vid of it has "THAT shameless moment" as the intro. It was mainly improv by Cam and Noel. It was an under 2 mins scene that had perfect line delivery and facial expressions. But I like all of them because I love every gallavich scene no matter what, and s7 is SUCH a big contender because "You're under my skin, man. The fuck can I do?" is my fav quote of theirs and the chemistry was insane but I guess I like the "reunion" part of s9 more

If you’d like to expand on your choice, the ask box is always open for everything from thoughts and musings to long essays! Or just tag @gallavichmeta 💖

Things to think about your favourite reunion:

- what do you think they were feeling during their reunion?

- how did the reunion move their relationship forward or change it?

- do you have a least favourite reunion?

- how does your favourite reunion compare with the other ones?

[mikhailoism]

if i could write or have the time to learn ya know, i desperately wanna write a gallavich au at end of s3 where they do run away together instead of mickey getting married, but it flashes forward to like s9 ish , and ian and mickey return to the southside to reunite with the gallaghers. the story would focus on their relationship and their relationship with the gallaghers repairing it and have like flashbacks to what ian and mickey have been this whole time, how running away changed things and the gallaghers side, how having no ian and mickey affected them.

or alternatively they come back s7 when monica dies and its pretty similar just with the added angst and issues of monica. idk it's sounds interesting

[iangallagherisadeadman]

just watched the last episode for the second time ever and my god it's so much worse than I remembered. thoughts:

the soundtrack got so insanely bad around s7 like who the fuck is calling the shots here?! i also hate the photography with all the super close ins and the camera positioned inside the crib at the balls house and the editing with the way they did transactions and flashbacks

it should be something nostalgic and sad but the whole episode is just kind of empty and silent and awkward

the way they decided to show growth and positive traits of every fucking body BUT debbie like come the fuck ooooon

what to you mean you found a buyer lip you cant do SHIT my love and also 75k?!??!?!?! ur such a loser

everything liam does throughout all of this episode has to do with frank i mean omfg even franny has more personality and importance

what do you mean A COP BAR carl wtf my man i cant believe v and kev are gonna sell the bar to him

couldnt they at least try to make heidi interesting? cuz i neither love her or hate her i simply do not care i never saw a single gif of her

it makes me so sad that the ending is so fucking bad i really hope they never make a spin off cause it would be SHIT

i dig the way we got to say goodbye to mickey and ian. it could be better for sure but it could also be so much worst and im happy with what i got, its sweet. its what all of them deserved :(

i am an ian stan so i cant complain much right gallavich was the dream but i do hate almost everything from mexico to s11 and i tried to rewatch from s8 to s11 once but i could never do it its really fucking bad so much that it makes me sad. that being said i think the lucky ones with the end of the show are lip stans cause he is a loser but his storytelling is from s1 to s11 interesting and compelling and they dont really lose the hand while writing his character he ended up being the spine of this show not fiona not frank but lip

i kind of hate the fact ian was the one to tell lip "ur the closest thing we ever had to a father" cause. lip was so very much a brother to them but especially to ian. the only time i remember him asking anything to lip was 01. west point and 02. around s6 hes being a janitor and ask if he can crash with lip for a while and both times lip disappoints ian so hehe thats funny! for ian to say this line? thats a choice! for sure!

Thoughts on Gallavich Hall of Shame

Wow okay this is the latest I’ve ever posted a weekly recap and I feel awful about it but mom life amirite? I’ve seen a lot of negative posts about this episode( maybe I just follow the wrong people) so ngl I’m kinda worried about watching it. Ugh. This is why I try to not look up things until I’ve had a chance to recap because I hate being influenced by other people’s opinions BUT I’m gonna try my best to find the positive things in the episode and keep this light hearted and fun like I’ve been trying to do all season! Okay I’ll shut up now and get right into why you’re really reading this post:

Oh baby Gallavich :(((((

THEY WERE SO LITTLE

Bitch don’t even say the word divorce

They’re sitting side by side playing a game together 😭😭😭😭

Mickey loves blowing ian pass it on

Oh fuck I forgot that belt move ian did 🤤🤤🤤

Nob job lmao

MID GOBBLE

ugh Ned was the most disgusting piece of shit

Who are those two exes wtf

I don’t know their names but I forgot I never watched any episode Mickey wasn’t in lmao

WAIT A WOMAN WHAT THE FUCK

Wow Mickey Milkovich really deserves so much better

Compilation of Mickey saying fuck THANK YOU

Omfg s4 Mickey was actually perfect

“Course you will. That’s your whole fucking MO” oh shit..

Wow remembering the past is really making me hate ian again lmao

Just when I started loving him for once

But then I remember how much he’s grown and I love him again

Fuck the writers tho

Let me write Gallavich please I’d do a much better job

Okay y’all really made it seem like Mickey was super offensive with his bipolar comment

I’m bipolar and hate when people use the term lightly but cmon guys that was nothing

He even called it a bipolar episode. He didn’t say anything offensive at all omfg. I was over here thinking he called him a psycho or something.

Some of y’all just gotta stop watching and stick to fanfics or something.

“I wish I never met you.” “Me either” THEN THEIR FUCKING WEDDING FUCK YALL NOW IM IN MY FEELS 😭😭

They’ve been through so much wow

Okay I need to see Mickey wearing a fanny pack

THE RING AND THE FLASHBACK STOP

GIVE MICKEY AND IAN A BABY

Fuck I need to rewatch the wedding

“Stupid gallagher” same

Mickey giving the Fanny pack back my boy is such a Good Samaritan wow I raised you so well I’m so proud my perfect son

SHIT I JUST REALIZED WHAT SONG IS PLAYING FUCK THIS YALL IM OUT 😭😭😭😭😭

Oh gosh I thought we were done seeing ian Gallagher’s dance moves

Why would they put us through that again

“Stupid Milkovich” you watch your mouth

But we love when a man learns from his mistakes

Now kiss

Mickey is beautiful damn ian is so lucky

Now this is the type of flashback I like to see

MICKEY SAYING HES SENSITIVE DO YALL REALIZE HOW BIG THAT IS?!

Ugh I love him so much

I’m so proud to be his mom

Okay unpopular opinion but I actually love that little how’d your bipolar tirade go how’d your stealing shit go

If you’ve been with someone through their rock bottoms you’ll understand how not offensive at all that interaction was

They both said things they felt bad about saying and now they’re having a bit of banter about it

“We work well together”

GUYES THEYRE ACTUALLY TALKING THINGS OUT THIS IS HUGE

They needed space after feelings got hurt but now they’re coming together to make up and actually talk things over

They’re learning and growing apart AND together

They both had the horrible childhoods and they’re doing their best

It takes years and years of therapy to work through deep rooted issues like that. I’m STILL seeing a therapist twice a week and I still have issues.

Just imagine. They’re how old? Mid to late twenties and neither of them have properly dealt with their issues and mental health problems. You can’t expect them to be the perfect couple you read about in fanfics. Yeah shameless is over the top but it’s a tv show that has stayed on the air for 11 seasons BECAUSE of how over the top it is. Stop expecting these characters to be healed healthy woke changed characters from one season to the next when they haven’t even properly dealt with their issues and it would honestly be very ooc if they did deal with their issues in a healthy way

I wish they would but that’s not the shameless way.

Well that was a long rant but honestly it was needed

Ugh I hate reliving terry this is the worst my heart is breaking

I skipped fast

Terry is definitely worse but yeah they’re both pieces of shit

Shit I forgot how abusive frank was

They both deserve so much better

They’re so cute oh gosh

We love communication

Okay but fr taking a bath with your SO isn’t as romantic as people think or maybe I’m just not a romantic lmao

Unless it’s a big bathtub with leg room

Mickey has the best lines

He’s so funny 😭😭😭

Mickey loves being manhandled✨✨✨✨

Honestly? I really think they would be really into some safe consensual bdsm play and they deserve to have that

PICK HIM UP IAN PLEASE ITS WHAT HE WANTS

fucking love you

I love you too

MUTUAL I LOVE YOUS ARE MY FAVORITE THING

IAN LOVES TO DO THE THUMB THING I CANT

HE DID IT EIGHT TIMES IN THREE SECONDS I COUNTED

they’re so perfect for each other :(((

A kissing compilation 😭😭

THE S7 VAN KISS HAS MY HEART

I still want a scene of Mickey making fun of Ian’s black hair

THE WEDDING 😭😭😭

I’m in tears again

THE KEY CHANGE WITH IAN SAYS MICKEY STILL GETS ME 😭😭😭😭

“Now?” HOW DOES ONE WORD GET SUCH A BIG REACTION FROM ME

I deserved to be at that wedding 😭😭😭

“But not these newlyweds” damn right

THE BLOOPERS

I love them so much

I LOVE SEEING NOEL AND CAM AT WORK

What a treat

SWEET LOVING MOUTH

THE THUMB THING AGAIN

JUST FOR ME

I MISS SEASONN FOUR MICKEY I WANNA GO WATCH HIM NOW

I love Mickey more than anything ����😭

Okay that was so much better than I was expecting! I know I ranted a lot and I’m probably gonna get some angry comments and messages but I honestly don’t care. Have your opinion and I’ll have my own and if you wanna discuss things like adults I’ll reply but if not then I don’t have time for the negativity. My boys actually communicated and didn’t self sabotage for once and I’m so proud. I love not being as invested as I used to be because now I can actually enjoy their scenes! Anyway it’s late where I’m at and I haven’t been getting much sleep so I’m gonna stop rambling. Let me know what you thought of this episode! Oh and real quick! I noticed I got a flood of new followers in the past two weeks so i just wanted to say feel free to send me messages on and off anon! I like talking to y’all! I promise I’m nice lol! Okay bye I love Mickey so much!

[zutaralesbian]

i stopped watching shameless after s6 and am debating if i should give it another try now that it’s ending. i was wondering what your idea was on ian in the later season? because as a bipolar person, he was my fav in s5, but i remember really not likening the whole “ mickey was awful, and i’m now never going to mention him again” route they took in s6 which made the show hard to watch.

Honestly anon, I may not be the best person to ask about S6 lol. To this day I still feel a degree of bitterness towards it as a Mickey stan. I have been able to rationalize/meta Ian's behavior in that season by thinking that him distancing himself from Mickey and badmouthing him was his way of trying to force himself to move on because he was a mentally ill teenager whose ex boyfriend just got put in prison for a possible 15 years. He was trying to re-write his and Mickey's history in his head in order to make it easier for himself to try to move on. At the end of the day though, it was still shitty of him to do, no matter how you try to explain it. And I think I'm a little less forgiving about it than some people lol. HOWEVER for all its flaws S10 did a pretty good job of "redeeming" Ian for me (for a lack of a better term). Imo S10 really showcased how much Ian loved Mickey and how dedicated he was to making sure he doesn't lose him again. So it healed a lot of my S6 wounds.

As for whether or not the later seasons are worth watching....eh. It depends on a few things. If you only care about Gallavich it might be better to just watch their scenes from S7, S9, S10, and S11 on YouTube. There's an account called Mr Fisher (I think) that uploads them. If you care about the show as a whole you might like S7. It's not as good as the early seasons imo but it has some good Gallagher family stuff. I think S8 is the worst season of the show but if you're invested in Lip it might be worth watching for his storyline. S9 is also pretty bad overall but you might want to watch it if you love Fiona because it was her last season. The Gallavich plot was honestly the only storyline in S10 that wasn't stupid or boring and they got fewer screentime than the others so idk what else to say about that lol. And I have very mixed feelings about S11 so far.

So yeah it really just depends on what aspects of the show you care about. If you want to skip any of the seasons feel free to message me again and I'll give you a brief rundown on what happens in them. :)

[librarygf]

S7 Gallavich hits hard and deserves its own mini movie. They really carried s7 in just two episodes. I kept thinking how great s8 would’ve have been if Mickey came back and Trevor was also there.

guys i simply cannot accept this s7 slander in my inbox asdfgh. it’s a good season bc it has sue, sierra, emt ian, a great lip storyline, and a big focus on family/the ian and lip relationship, so it carries itself just fine okay 😭 i’m passionate about this 😭 but yes ian and mickey in this season hit so hard, and it could have been a sick storyline for a really good movie too. a24 u up? 

[readandwritesilver]

Hi there. :) I just saw and read your post about the reasons you dislike the Shameless/Gallavich fandom and don't dislike the show itself, and I found myself agreeing with many of the points you made. The toxicity and the constant hate and negativity of the fandom is one of the few reasons I couldn't be a part of it myself anymore. I'm just curious as to why you think Mickey shouldn't have been brought back to the show?

i honestly just think that his story was over.

i love mickey, and i’m not saying he doesn’t deserve the life he’s gotten with ian. despite the issues with his characterization in s10, i think that his overarching storyline this season was very good and worked well. i just feel like it’s sort of, for lack of a better word, sloppy.

his character has had three different endings by this point. i know that there are reasons for that beyond the show itself, but i just find it frustrating how you’ve never seen the last if him. i know some would say that its part of who he is, part of his relationship with ian, how he defies all odds and makes it back to the man he loves or whatever. which i don’t think is wrong, nessecarily, i just don’t feel the same way. to me it just feels like, at best, the writers just don’t know what to do with him.

if i could do anything (besides have him never have gone to prison in s6 in the first place), i would have had s7 be the end for him. honestly, i think that s7 should have been the end of the show (ive actually thought about this at length, i think that with a few tweaks this could actually have worked.) so in that case i would have had Ian go with him, but if not i would just have however ians storyline ended, be that in s9 or in s11, end with him going to mexico with mickey.

again, i don’t actually dislike mickey’s presence in s10. i enjoyed seeing him finally sort of get what hes deserved from the start, and though his characterization was awful, his arc was genuinely interesting. though i do wish they hadn’t just dropped the cartel thing for no reason. i just don’t think he needed to be there to begin with.

[desi-gallavich]

ok, part 2

11. Jaane Kyun: YESSS S3 BOYFRIENDS ITS THEM AGAINST THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK AS LONG AS THEY HAVE EACH OTHER

12. Jab koi baat bigad jaaye: awwww its very much reminiscent of their wedding vows 🥺 the second stanza rly makes me think abt how even when ian's family treated him different in s5, mickey always just wanted to make ian happier and he stood by him thru all the hard times :(

13. Lag jaa gale: i tried finding this on spotify but there's 3 diff songs LMAO can u pls tell me what movie it's from? i'd rly love to listen to it

14. Yeh tune kya kiya: OOHHHH THIS IS SOO EARLY SEASONS MICKEY he's falling in love with ian and he doesnt know how to handle it 😭

15. Tum se hi: welp i already talked abt this in another post lmao but def mickey abt ian

16. Khabar nai: THIS IS LITERALLY BABY IAN HE WAS SO IN LOVE WITH MICKEY AND HE WAS ALREADY IMAGINING A FUTURE WITH HIM OMGSJFLSDFJ

17. Bekhayali: noooo this is prison mickey :(

18. Maahi Ve: omg ur right its a gallavich song

Meri khaamoshiyon mein hai tu bolta Ye jeena bhi, naa jeena bhi Jo bhi hua hai wo tum se hua

You speak in my silences, This living, and not living too, whatever has happened has happened from you alone.

19. Dhadak: oh wow this song fits gallavich rly well

Dor ka ek main sira aur tera hai doosra jur sakein beech mein kayi tarap hai na

I'm one end of the thread, and the other is yours, There can be a lot of longing in between.

20. Roke Na Ruke Naina: fuckk this is s4 mickey at the club and the second part rly fits s4a mickey :( tbh it would fit him the other 2 times ian left him too 😭😭

21. Kahin toh: omg jaane tu ya jaane na is my favorite hindi movie and i rly rly wanted to add a song from that movie to this list so THANK YOUUU

yess i feel like the first one is when ian is with caleb or trevor

and the second one this is s7 gallavich. the way they didn't have a lot of time but they were so happy when they were together :(

22. I love you: OH THIS IS DEF S2 MICKEY'S SONG ian wormed his way into mickey's heart and mickey doesn't know what to do with this love he has 🥺 

Dil ka yeh kya raaz hai Jaane kya kar Gaye Jaise andheron mein tum Chandani Bhar gaye

What is this secret what did you do, as if you filled the darknesses with the moonlight

Kabhi Kabhi Main Khudse hoon yeh poochhta Main tere kaabil bhi hoon kya Itna to hai mujhe maloom Mil ke tujhe Behtar Insaan ban gaya Thoda thoda Tujhse Seekha Pyaar Karne Ka Tareeka

Sometimes I ask myself if I am good enough for you, I know this much, that after meeting you, I became a better person I learned slowly from you how to love

23. Saawali si raat: gallavich communicates through non-verbal gestures and honestly ur so right this song fits them rly well. they might not always be able to talk abt their problems but they'll always understand each other 🥺 

Ankahi Si Guftagu Ansuni Si Justajoo Bin Kahe Bin Sune Apni Bat Ho Gayi Sawali Si Rat Ho Khamoshi Ka Sath Ho Bin Kahe Bin Sune Bat Ho Teri Meri

Talks Unsaid, Wishes Unheard. Our conversation occurred without speaking, without listening. May it be a slightly dark night. May silence be there along with that. Let there be conversations between us without speaking, without listening.

24. Lehrein: oh ok ur ending this with something to make me cry ok  👍 S6 IAN WILL ALWAYS MAKE ME FEEL A LOT OF FEELINGS AND THIS SONG ISNT HELPING SO THANKS FOR THAT DRISH

kis se kahun kaun hai jo sune, kaante hi kyun maine hain chune sapne mere kyun hain kho gaye jaage hain kyun dil mein gham naye saari kaliyaan murjha gayin rang unke yaadon mein reh gaye

Whom to tell, who is there to listen Why have I chosen thorns only Why are my dreams lost Why are there new sorrows woken in my heart all the buds died, their colors are left in the memories

ok so im done and that was a very emotional experience and it is 2 in the morning so goodnight and thank youuu so much for making this list drish <3 @sluttymickey

Hiiiiii!!!!!! Ofc I replied 🥰 and there's no big blogs here we're all just out here clowning together about the boys 😌

Omg I've been waiting all my life for this!!😭 I have SO MANY hindi songs that remind me of them 😭

Don't have a playlist, but here's a little list! Putting it under a cut cause it got too long lol.

Mai Yahan Hun: PRISON REUNION!!! Mickey making his way across the border for Ian inspite of everything!!

Adhoori Saans Thi Dhadkan Adhoori Thi Adhooren Hum // Magar Ab Chaand Poora Hain Falak Pe Aur Ab Pooren Hain Hum

Jaanam dekhlo mit gayi duriyaan, mai yahan hun, yahan hun, yahan hun, yahan // Kaisi sarhadein, kaisi majbooriyan, mai yahan hun, yahan hun, yahan hun, yahan.

Mere Haath Mai: like the entire song??? Reminds me of them breaking apart and reuniting every single time. Holding onto each other!! And ofc HANDS 😩💫. Tere haath mai mera hath ho, saari jannatein mere saath ho. That's SO them!! I've got the whole universe if I've got your hand in mine!!!😭

^^ that feeling of being incomplete w/o each other!! But now they're together and they feel whole 🥺 also the last line makes me think of them stargazing and feeling so content 🥺

Mast Magan:

Man Mast magan, man mast magan bas tera naam dohraaye// Chaahe bhi toh bhool na paaye

The part about just thinking about each other, and not being able to forget even if you want to. Like!!! Aaaaaah it's THEM

Reminds me of all the times Mickey's been their for Ian when he needed it 🥺

Koi bhi aisa lamha nahi hai // Jismein mere tu hota nahi hai // Main so bhi jaaun mein raaton mein lekin // Tu hai ki mujhmein sota nahi hai

Wine fueled rant about Shameless that spiraled out of control

Ok so it has been a long while since I’ve made a Gallavich post, I’m still salty and I don’t plan on watching this new season, though as it grows near I am looking forward to reading @koganphrancis ’s scathing episode reviews that gave me life through Season 7.

So here is the thing that really bothers me and I think it is one of the main reasons the writers think they can get away with their bull shit and it comes from the seasonal promotional posters. For the past, Imma say, 3 or 4 seasons the main posters for them only include 3 characters (the ones shown on everything), the three characters that the shows creators some how think are the most popular. Lip, Fiona and Frank.

Lip.

Fiona.

Frank.

And where they are fucking wrong is that these aren’t actually the most interesting characters in this fucking show.

Lip is an arrogant asshole, Fiona… to be honest I don’t even know who she is anymore but all of her plots are “I’m going to take care of myself for a change” and revolve around which ever hot dick shes fucking, then there’s Frank who hasn’t had an interesting or relevant plot since Season 4 (where I would argue they should have fucking KILLED him, but he’s William H. Macy…so, you know, they cant?)

* Also random side note, if they and him were locked into some kind of 7 season contract I would have fucking saved the whole LIVER FAILER plot for the seventh season! For real cuz if anyone knows anything about hospital politics a LIFE LONG ALCOHOLIC would not have gotten a new liver. Period. I mean just watch some House episodes and you can see how the whole fucking board of directors have to come together and debate about the god damn donor list, if a person shows signs of heavy alcohol/ drug abuse or suicidal tendencies they are not given a top spot. ALSO WHERE THE FUCK DID THE HOSPITAL BILLS GO????

SO anyways, I’ve been reading stuff, sleuthing in the fandom like a phantom and I have some opinions.

Firstly about how Mickey and Ian’s break up and how its totally and completely fucking out of left field. I think that the negotiations, like last year, were going on during filming/around the time editing and filming was being wrapped up. I’m not sure what went down but that scene is so disjointed and the aftermath and the Sammi thing, I think that was all thrown together last minute as a way to write Mickey/Noel off (in a terrible, poorly written, petty way).

In some previous interview, JW stated that Gallavich was endgame and that he thought they were going to be the sort of “Stable” couple on the show.

I think the original intention was going to be that Sammi was dead. Boom.

*That would have probably been either a main plot point in season 6 or it would have been sort of fleetingly mentioned as a thing then it would have gone away.

I think that Ian was supposed to come back from his field trip to insanity with Monica and have a sort of heart to heart with Mickey

*Ian shows up at Milkovich house

M: Where the hell you been?

I: with Monica…

M:…You ok?

I: ‘Nods with teary eye’

Gallavich hugs

then they would just have one of their nonverbal moments with the tone of “We’ll figure this shit out together” and that would have been that. Episode ends.

And then the train wreck that is 6, 7 and most likely 8 was spawned with Noel being gone. Cuz here is the THING. Fiona ISNT INTERESTING, her plots ARNT INTERESTING. In the UK version Fiona left with Jimmy/Steve Season 1 (not that I am saying the US version should stay true or that the UK version is better, to be honest I don’t really enjoy the UK version). I don’t think she should have but I feel like if you are going to keep this character you should at least have a FUCKING PLAN of where you want her to FUCKING end up. Cuz season 1 Fiona, she was fucking great, I liked her, she was on my list of people I liked. I stilled liked her in Season 2, then Season 3 she started to annoy me, then FUCK season 4 Fiona and now she is just…..terrible. Season 5 Fiona I could tell they were really loosing touch with who she was.

*Another side note tid bit – her opening scene in Season 5 told me all I needed to know, her plot was going to revolve around some new fucking dick. We get this random ass scene with some guy we don’t know as a way of introducing him and letting us know that Fiona’s plot this season was going to be her desire to date this guy. Then her plot was literally, Ooooo this foreign lead singer is hot, My boss is hot, The lead singer is an asshole but his friend and base player is hot, my boss thinks I’m a Chaos junky, let me marry this base player I don’t know etc. etc. etc. There is no growth of character, there is no resolution, its just….. bullshit, its BULLSHIT

Then there is Lip who they fucking lost touch with…. Man I don’t even know because I never really liked Lip, he’s an arrogant piece of shit and to me has never redeemed himself AT ALL. To be honest I rather enjoyed watching him spiral out of control but that’s not my point. My point is that Lip has the same character/ plot issues as FUCKING FIONA its just reversed. Lip’s plots revolve around what ever new fresh PUSSY he’s fucking. And it took me a little while to figure that out, figure out that that’s why he isn’t interesting, not just because I don’t like him, not just because he’s an entitled arrogant douche, but because he has no PERSONAL GROWTH PLOT ITS ALL ABOUT THE GIRL HES FUCKING.

I could argue that with Fiona maybe it was hard to find a plot for her, what is she doing if not caring for the kids or fucking some new guy? Do I agree with that notion? No, but I can see it. With Lip, though? No, I don’t fucking buy it, he could have just had a “Stuggling in college” plot…there was just, no need to make it about some girl, Now I… don’t hate Amanda but for real? S1 Lip -Karen, S2 Lip – Karen and  Him being an idiot/Pregnancy, S3 Lip – Mandy, S4 Lip – Amanda, S5 Lip- Amanda/Helen, S6 Lip- Helen, S7 Lip- Sierra. Now I am not saying that there shouldn’t be any romance, I’m not advocating that Lip and Fiona should always be single. What I am saying is that Amanda and Helen and Sierra are totally unnecessary. Lip’s spiraling out of control plot could have just been him realizing he isn’t as much of a genius that he fucking thought he was, hes fucking failing in college BOOM that is an interesting fucking plot, the girls don’t think hes the shit anymore BOOM that is some build up to a persons fucking identity crisis. It just never made any SCENSE to me that Amanda would just suddenly be like… fuck my boyfriend I like his roommate cuz he has a little brother he takes care of. It just came out of left field for me and I didn’t get it. I really just…. didn’t get it, still don’t even with the weird plot with her wanting to piss off her dad, I NEVER GOT IT. Season 4 could have been the beginning of the end- it could have been him feeling lost, failing classes- no friends- no girls- shitty roommate, the struggle, then instead of him using Liam like a Chick Magnate they could have showed how FUCKING difficult it is to try and go to school and having a FUCKING child with you (a struggle that many women and men actually fucking face while trying to get a degree with out being able to afford child care). The whole Helen thing, ok maybe, that could have stayed as the catalyst that drives Lip to his rock bottom but…. Sierra? No, she just….. GOD, Season fucking 7 could have been about him attempting to GET SOBER WITH OUT ANY PUSSY.

Any-fucking-way, lets move on to Frank. Oh Franky-Franky-Frank. S1-4 Frank had something he did, and when they gave him Liver failure that should have been the end but no, they got him a liver and now his plots are just… comical stupidity? Season 5 Frank is… just making beer? Then meets Bianca who dies, Then Season 6 Frank is just a fucking asshole and that Queenie chick shows up, Season 7 Frank is…. making a new family of homeless people? Then Monica shows up? Its just random shit. I will be totally honest here, I stopped paying much attention to Franks shit Season 5, it was just so damn BORING. HE IS BORING. HIS PLOTS ARE ALWAYS BORING EVEN FROM THE BEGINGING. He is just this looming piece of shit in their lives and that’s all well and good, he sort of keeps them together in a way and I’m fine with his shitty boring plots because they were the sort of “comic relief to the show” and I’m not saying they need to kill him off or make him have better plots, whatever, my point is HE IS NOT INTERESTING, he should not be a MAIN that the show revolves around. As the random drunk father who comes in and out and is comic relief he is great but he is not the most interesting character in the show and he should not be who they focus all of their plot attention to.

So, with this in mind though. The writers act and think that these three are the show, the MAINS of the show and they for some reason think that LIP, FIONA, and FRANK are the reason people watch. So they put their energy into thinking of SHITTY plots for those three and then the other characters got tossed to the side and their plots are some how EVEN worse. Carl for example finally got a decent plot I guess with the whole military school thing (but he seems to be around for season 8 and this Meth bullshit sooooooooo, I guess he’s not doing that anymore????? I really only watched S7 for Mickey’s return and payed little to no attention to ANYONE else besides Ian, and I’ve not been all over the new promos and stuff, haven’t even watched the trailers or anything) but I hated his whole….drug lord thing is S6 HATED IT, I was SO PISSED WHEN THEY SENT HIM TO JUVIE OH MY GOHD.

Anyways, Debbie’s fucking baby plot…. I could see it, ok. I could. She has been one of those girls who wants to be older and that had been building for a while, the whole dad’s family wanting to take the baby thing I could have really lived without, though. But I’m….. not…… mad……….I………guess. I’m not happy with it…..but……I could see how it went that direction. Not a fan of so much of her plot though, it went really weird in S5. The whole Matty thing was just…… I hated that they decided to make Debbie into like…. what they did season 4. It really fucked her up and the direction they took her while believable I really wish they went a different route. Also I wish they hadn’t made her a fucking RAPIST. That would have been great.

Then poor fucking LIAM who they obviously have NO FUCKING CLUE what to do with. I mean…..he never fucking talks. Hes supposed to be like 7 now and he just says random cliché tocken black shit????? I just can’t even. Coming from a Biracial girl who grew up with her white mom mostly….um no. I’m not sure what I would have done with him, but I would hope the writers would put some kind of fucking effort into his character and plot, give him a quirk besides that fact that hes BLACK. Cuz that was his quirk when he was a baby, now he needs a fucking PERSONALITY. Like in the beginning when Carl and Debbie were young. Debbie was the sweet on and Carl was the kind of a sociopath weirdo. GIVE LIAM A PERSONALITY QUIRK THAT AS HE AGES YOU CAN GROW FROM. Like make him super good in school, or like the new Debbie in that he is really sweet ( I could really see that being a good direction to go in, in that, there are no 'sweet’ Gallagers anymore) and comforting. I don’t fucking know just give him something to fucking BE. I swear S1 Carl had no plot besides him being kind of weird and violet but they WORKED with it and made him one of my FAVS, fucking loved Carl’s development.

The Balls and the Thrupple was some bull shit. I’m not even going to break that down.

Now we move on to sweet sweet Ian and I have ranted about him before so I’ll try to keep this bit short and sweet. THERE IS SO MUCH FUCKING POTENTIAL WITH IAN. I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD. But because they didn’t know how to write him with out Mickey anymore and how to write him dealing with his FUCKING BIPOLAR they decided to let him fall into the same fucking pit that Lip and Fiona are in where his fucking plot revolves around SOME NEW DICK. You see in S4 the fucking point of view shifted from Ian to Mickey and they had a fucking ROUGH time figuring out how to shift it the fuck back. Now Ian’s plots haven’t been all about him either, in Season 1 it was about him being gay and Kash and Mickey but, just like the rest of them, he actually had a personality that we were being introduced to, then S2 we didn’t see Mickey much but we knew they were together and we got more of just Ian and we got to know him more, same in S3 (this doesn’t just go for Ian btw, in S1-S3 we got a lot more growth and understanding of the characters beyond the dick/pussy they were fucking, there was just a lot more good meaty shit going on plot wise) Anyways, Ian got reduced to the “token gay” and just….. it just fucking sucked man. Everything sucked. I mean fuck, I can’t even explain how much I hate the jail scene. Or the fucking SHIFT OF GAY FIREFIGHTERS. UM FUCKING SERIOUSLY?????

*fucking side note tid bit! Fucking NO ok that isn’t a thing that exists in reality ok. I can totally buy the Gay baseball game thing, I can see that being a thing that happens (though making Tony gay….I really didn’t think that was super funny???? I don’t know, I can see him discovering that he was gay mainly because he had been a virgin for so long buuuuut his whole “Your sister made me gay” thing? I just wasn’t amused), you know, the gay firefighters and gay cops doing a thing like that, just like I can imagine female firefighters and female cops doing something like that. But the shift? WHO thought that was funny?WHO I WANT TO KNOW WHO

I think they had a whole plot lined up for Ian and Mickey. I think S6 was going to be them working on getting Ian medicated and on the right path and dealing with that.

THEY HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THESE CHARACTERS but they are ignoring it in favor of OTHERS. They make Fiona and Frank’s boring ass plots the main fucking focus along with Lip and there is so much potential in EVERYONE ELSE but they just…. don’t do anything good with them.

I’m drinking wine and this has gotten out of control, I don’t even know what the main point to this is supposed to be besides I think the writers focus too much on 3 boring characters and thus make ridiculous shitty plots for everyone else and they have totally lost touch with what the show is supposed to be about! It used to be about a family living SHAMELESSLY they were proud of their heritage and their life. They loved who they were! Fiona was a shameless hood girl taking care of the family and trying to keep them all afloat, Lip was the genius who would rather stay where he was then be the “golden goose”, Ian was the responsible middle child who wanted to go into the army- in love with the neighborhood thug and loved his life, Debbie was sweet and the shining beacon of goodness and innocence in their life, Carl was the wild one with sociopathic tendencies, Liam was the baby (haha), Frank was the shitty alcoholic father and Monica was the bipolar mother who abandoned them. But there was still family here, here was connection and strength and love. Loyalty and Shamelessness. SHAMELESSNESS. That was the fucking point.

Now whats the point? SHAME? They're all trying to become some kind of middle class bullshit? I just……. I don’t know what this show is anymore and it makes me sad.
