Jimmy Steve really Dove to stop the guy straight for the guy stealing Fiona's purse like you know that boy had a montage in his brain on how he'd be a hero and impress Fi for months lol ( I'm rewatching the pilot again)

oh my god i remember that!!! my man was down so bad you just know he was looking at himself in the mirror earlier that night getting ready giving himself a pep talk like "okay jimmy boy. you are going to GO UP TO HER, you are going to BUY HER A DRINK, you are going to ASK FOR A DANCE, you are going to NOT THROW UP"

god i miss s1 so bad i should rewatch the pilot.......

shameless, s3 e11 thoughts

steve: i liked you in the first two seasons and a little bit of this season, but now i hate you

fiona: i’m still proud of you, keep going and keep talking to your boss at the cup place pls

lip: i know you have horrible luck with girls, but do you think maybe it’s partly your fault bc you don’t share your feelings? you’re still hot tho

mandy: i didn’t mind you that much, but pulling that shit with the teacher and karen was so not cool i’m glad it’s over with you and lip

ian: i know you love mickey, (and i know they get together forever later) but in this moment i don’t think he loves you i think he loves being able to be himself with you

kevin and veronica: i love you guys, the whole thing with her mom was weird tho

debbie: i really don’t get how people don’t like you

carl: love ya

the thing about jimmy dying is he was slightly too confident in his illegality which kind of was fine when he wasn't attached to somebody but when he started putting fiona first it started to bite him in the ass that he was so confident. because he didnt have the time to go back and panic fix things anymore an neglected to pay attention to the one thing thatd keep him alive

jimmy's death being retconned must be the most frustrating and inexplicable writing decision on the entire showwww. his death and character arc were SOOO GOOD THEY WERE SO GOOD. the way every step he made to improving himself as a person left him less on the defense in his criminal connections and closer to his death but he never would've improved as a person had he not chosen to ditch his nice normal life to do those crimes in the first place

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

[howlinchickhowl]

What is a moment in Shameless that makes you crack up every single time you even think about it, even if it's not really a big joke moment? I'll start.

When JimmySteve shows back up for the third? time and they're on the street outside of Patsy's having an argument and then Fiona answers the phone and it's Mickey and JimmySteve gets so excited? 'Mickey Milkovich?! Tell him i said hi!' like on the one hand what the fuck JimmySteve? read the room you piece of shit. But on the other hand it is so unexpected and the delivery is so pure, it gets me every time.

Ok now you go.

I wanna talk for a second about Fiona and JimmySteve, and I want to compare them to Gallavich

They have a lot of similarities:

Fiona loved him more than she'll ever love anyone, and I think Jimmy's the same. Just like Ian and Mickey.

Obviously, the whole on and off thing, since both couples had one of them leave and come back again and again.

I think with both Ian and Fiona, their partners outside of jimmy or Mickey are always characters which relate to Jimmy or Mickey. That's weirdly phrased, but I think it's more like both Ian and Fiona would be like 'oh, Mickey used to say stuff like that' or 'Jimmy kissed better'. Like their other relationships are almost a consequence or comparison of their main love.

Both couples also have a hell of a lot of chemistry.

However, they're also so very, very different.

Ian and Mickey are an example of loving someone an insane amount and, against all odds, it works.

Fiona and JimmySteve are an example of loving someone an insane amount and it not working.

Fiona and JimmySteve are a tragic trope; they'll never work. I don't think Fiona goes back to him after she leaves. I hope she finds someone else who she loves, perhaps not as much, because loving someone that much is hard and a little destructive.

Ian and Mickey are not tragic. Their storyline is, but they can't be tragic because they will always work out. They can't stay away from each other. Magnets.

There is certain completed element of Fiona and JimmySteve's goodbye, which every single Gallavich goodbye lacked. Even Mexico, when logically they both knew there was no chance of getting back together (because Mick would eventually come out of prison, ruling the season 1,2 and 6 goodbyes out), lacks a completedness. There's no goodbye, just an 'I love you - fuck you' which almost says 'I'll see you soon.'

Fiona and JimmySteve say goodbye. He tells her he loves her, much like Ian did, but she still needs something else. They could have been together, nothing was keeping them apart that time. (Aside from his compulsive lying - but this is about the couple and not about Jimmy).

They were an example of people falling in love with the wrong person. Love doesn't mean it works. They weren't right for each other, and I think that's one of the saddest things. Just because they loved each other, does not mean they can be together. Sometimes love does not conquer all.

Ian and Mickey are different. They fell in love with the right person, they almost moulded themselves to fit each other better. The reason they stayed apart so long was mostly due to circumstance - which you can argue for Fiona and JS too, but most of their problems could be solved with communication. Half the time I watched Fiona and JS, I felt like they were speaking two different languages. They couldn't understand each other, couldn't hear each other. It's really hard, I think, when you love someone so much, but you just don't fit right. They didn't love each other right.

("Why don't you go cry to your gay dad about it?" "Living in a goddamn slum" "I trust you - that means more to me" "I love you - I think I need something else now" "You need to let me go, you need to let me let you go")

I've always felt like Gallavich were on the same wavelength, they understood each other.

("You love me, and you're gay." "You're sick." "You're so much better than that." "I understand better than anyone: you're afraid of your father, you're afraid of your wife, you're afraid to be who you are." "I love you - What the hell does that even mean? - It means we take care of each other" "I love you, Mickey Milkovich, and if you'll let me, I'd like to spend the rest of my life - Jesus Christ save the fucking speech you pussy.") See, they get each other.

There's a lot to be said about their miscommunication as well, but they clearly get each other, in a way that Fiona and JimmySteve don't. It's like puzzle pieces. Ian and Mickey's pieces fit together, even if there were external forces keeping them apart. Sure, it may not be a perfect fit, but what is in humanity? There's so much beauty in imperfection. Fiona's and Jimmy Steve's pieces didn't fit. There were giant gaps where there shouldn't have been - such as JS's lying problem and Fiona's inability to feel empathy for anything he went through. Have you ever got so frustrated with a puzzle you just try and shove two pieces together so hard because you just want them together so bad? Maybe they'd look better in the puzzle if they went together. No matter how hard you try, they won't fit.

It just doesn't work, and that's so hard to accept. That sometimes, it just does not work.

I thought about this because of the sound trending on TikTok from Ocean's 11.

"Does he make you laugh?"

"He doesn't make me cry."

Anyway, rant over. Again, I'm not talking about the actions of JS or Fiona individually in this, those are whole different essays and I don't like JS enough to rewatch all his scenes and put one together for him. I think I've done one on Fiona though, but my feelings towards her are complicated. I'm talking about them as a couple.

Also, I'm not saying JimmySteve is anything like Mickey, or Fiona is like Ian.

Sorry for the deep stuff, I didn't think this would get so heavy.

[m4ndysk4nkovich]

jimmy-steve was right about debbie needing therapy in s1… it would’ve saved her ass😭

[lupeloto]

Fiona should get Jimmy-Steve as a little treat. But only after she’s stable enough it doesn’t matter if he’s a weasel. She can keep him like a pet.

yes i love this idea!! like a little pet for her!
