hi honeybee 💛 for old time's sake, what do you think ian and mickey are up to this weekend? where are they going? what are they eating? how are ian's tomatoes doing this year? i must know!

omg! omg omg omg no way omg! okay! whew!

*shakes layer of dust from headcanon brain*

*cracks knuckles*

yeah! okay! i think they had their big gallagher pool party blowout yesterday. note: not a july 4th party. not even recovering patriot ian gallagher thinks the usa deserves a party. i think the entire gallagher fam ft. various milkoviches descended on the apartment complex pool and freaked out all other residents 😇 think beer, tunes, cannonball contest (carl won), massive fight with pool noodles.... kev manned the grill and everyone got a HEALTHY serving of ian's tomatoes, thank you very much 🥳

today ian and mickey spent the entire day moving from their bed to the couch back to bed. they're inching closer and closer to 30 asldkfh those hangovers last longer every time 😂 today was a day of coffee, donuts, clumsy tired hungover sloppy sex, and takeout. i think tomorrow will be the same tbh 😇

Sunflower Yellow Hello :] I have a feeling that you might enjoy using little faces like that, so I will, too! You've likely had a bit of a rough life, even if you don't share that with others too often, or if you do, it's so other people know they're not alone. That's admirable, but it's also good to talk about the things that trouble you for your own sake, as well. I know that you're strong, and you should be proud of yourself for how far you've come, but don't forget that it's also okay to step back for a bit, that it's okay if you're not put together. Regardless, you're someone that people tend to find comfort in, and you're a good, cheerful person to be around. It's a bit hard to come across someone like you nowadays- be proud of yourself, and if anyone tries to tell you that you're wrong for enjoying the small joys in life, just be happy that it's obvious you're truly living life.

Clídna

Coral Pink You don't have to fight so hard to be perfect all the time, you know? It's okay if you don't know the answers to someone's troubles, or even your own. You don't have to hold on to everyone's grief, and no one is going to blame you if you have to be quiet for a while. I know that it's hard to feel like you're more than what people need you to be, but you can step back. You try your best to be kind, and welcoming, and you definitely show it well. Compassion comes a lot more naturally to you, and although you like to be understanding, you're also pretty stubborn. You can't watch out for everyone else all of the time; how will anyone else know to care for you if you don't even show that you need it? Don't blame yourself, but don't always blame them, either.

Stasia

Orange You'll have to let go of it someday, you know that, don't you? Don't be afraid of that. It's something that has to happen, just as troubles will be forgiven, actions will be remembered, and just as the time will pass regardless of whether you are taking a step forward, or back. You've got a strong personality, and I admire you for that, along with your lack of hesitation when finding an answer for yourself and for what you want to do. Knowing what you want in life is very important, and although it's good that you know that, it's also important to consider what other people want in life, too. You're bright, and you're fiery, and emotions are something that you feel a bit too much of sometimes, but I understand. Don't lose yourself in the path of moving forward, or you'll end up right back at the start.

Conner

Lilac Purple You're soft, even if you're quiet, and people tend to find you as someone who is calming, if not a bit awkward, or standoffish. You handle your grief in silence, your kindness in silence, your anger in silence, your sympathy in silence, your joy, in silence. I know that it's been hard, and that it's difficult to keep yourself in the moment, I know that it's hard to know yourself. You can't hide away from your life forever, and although you certainly don't have to expose your entire self to the world, and you don't have to know yourself entirely, it's good to express yourself, even if you're afraid of being 'too much'. You will never know what people will love about you if you don't give them a chance to learn in the first place.

Is thethe the knights garye gay gay??

Of course they are, these guys make a literal rainbow with their colors, why wouldn't they be?

Jestro also is a semi-rainbow, with all of his canon fits being every color EXCEPT green...which im guessing we would've got in the foreseen season 5 (Got tired so I didn't include him in this drawing, Sorry Jestro, I promise to make it up to you soon)

Hey, let's play a summer game!!

See our gallavich boys with cones? Which one of them do you want to give a scoop of ice cream? And which flavor would you choose for him?

Then tag one friend you want her/him/them to play next! I'll add your choice of ice cream ball to the cone (then on the former ice cream ball) and send a new ask with the new pic to the person you tagged! And don't worry, the choice of flavor can be repeated!

At the end of summer I'll post the final pic, see how many ice creams we gave to Ian and Mickey and how tall their ice creams can get! 😁

last: a scoop of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia for Ian from @celestialmickey

(don't take mickey's scowl personal!! it's just his normal possessiveness...)

haha their faces are priceless akjdfs

okay so, to appease Mickey I'm giving him a scoop! I'll go with stracciatella (milk-flavoured ice cream with bits of chocolate in it) 🤍🖤 Ian comments that it's the perfect ice cream for Mickey because the colours remind him of Mickey's dark hair and pale skin 😌

aaand I tag @doshiart to go next! 🥰

[heymacy]

thank you so much for your answer! i actually didn’t expect such a in depth response— it actually made me kind of excited to rewatch the show so that i can give those seasons a try! i watched shameless as it was airing around s3 so it was really hard for me to cope with the idea of watching ian ‘moving on’ and bashing mickey without knowing he would be back etc. but i guess it should be time to face that considering who he gets married to! tho, if it’s okay, i wanted to ask more cause i love to see your take on it! for what ive gathered caleb cheated on ian with a girl saying it ‘didn’t count’, but was he also the one who told ian to try to be with a girl? cause i remember seeing something about it and it really pissed me off that ian even went and ‘tried’, considering s1 was him being very vocal about non being into girls! as for trevor, i did know about the monica ‘get over it’ clip because i always see people comparing it to how mickey has always been supportive no matter what (of course!!!) and also how trevor kind of forced himself on ian. i wanted to know what’s your opinion on those relationships of his, especially trevor cause it seems like it’s been the most controversial one as he spent two seasons around him. it’s funny in a way because the writers didn’t want mickey back but they still made every love interests ian had to be ‘wrong’ and showing everything that mickey would never do! also, this is out of pettiness mostly but considering all those seasons are about his bipolar disorder, does ian ever say that to his partners as a way to break up? or can i have a little of happiness thinking he just really wanted to protect who matters the most *cough* mickey *cough*. again, thank you for taking your time answering my question, i loved reading it!

hello again! more under the cut bc i'm quite chatty :)

first of all, yes, the "it doesn't count" + trying to have sex with a girl thing is true, and it honestly never felt very in-character for me. it was definitely A Choice on behalf of the writers. in fact, he gargles with mouthwash afterwards (or maybe it's vodka, i can't remember) and says "i think i have PTSD", which (of course) is meant to be humorous, but i do think it was a very jarring and confusing experience for him.

ohhhhhhh boy. the trevor of it all. well, let's begin by saying that there's a lot of controversy surrounding trevor. there are some really rancid anti-trevor takes that i don't agree with, primarily the ones rooted in transphobia, which i think is disgusting and abhorrent. i think people are generally either very anti-trevor or pretty neutral on him. i don't think anyone out there is singing his praises, or at least i've never heard a take like that in the time i've been in the fandom. as for me & my opinion, i think he is an incredibly frustrating, pretentious, self-serving character and he irritates me deeply. i think that while he could have been a good friend to ian, he fucked things up by trying to be his boyfriend. they were incompatible from the start and i honestly don't know why they started anything in the first place. like i know why, i just don't understand it. they had no spark. they had no connection. their only commonalities were that they were 1) both gay and 2) into advocating for homeless + at-risk youth. and that's like, it. they had friendly coworker energy, not electric, bone-shattering chemistry. my rating? 0/10 stars. i was very happy when he was written off and ian was left to sort his shit out on his own, unencumbered by a dissatisfying, toxic relationship.

and caleb.......ugh. fucking caleb! i'm surprised he doesn't get vertigo from riding such a high horse. he treated ian like an accessory and consistently put him in uncomfortable situations for no reason other than his own pleasure and/or to manipulate other people. the ONLY good thing he did was lead ian down the EMT path, and that is it. otherwise he was quite literally the worst. imagine cheating on someone and then being like "actually, this is a you issue." alexa, define "cold-blooded" 🙄

to answer your question, ian never credits his bipolar disorder when ending things with any other partner, no. trevor ended because ian ran off with mickey and lied to him about it/cheated on him (though they did spend another season in each other's lives in a really strange capacity, which was an interesting choice by the writers) and caleb ended because he cheated on ian. caleb was a clean break whereas trevor was super messy and drawn-out. but no, he doesn't talk about wanting to protect them from his disorder during their breakups. he tells them both about it early on, is transparent about it, and expresses his concerns about it being a lot to handle, but it isn't credited as the reason for the breakups, no.

i think when it comes to ian protecting mickey from his disorder, it's important for us to view things through an ian-centric lens. why did he do what he did? was it solely to protect mickey, or was it coming from a place of insecurity? a place where he felt like a burden? a place where he felt hopeless and aimless and scared? post-episode and post-diagnosis, it's very common to fall into what i like to call The Pit, which is essentially a shallow bed of self-loathing and the desire to self-isolate away from everyone and everything. we see a lot of that in the end of s5 and the beginning of s6. he's made himself very small, is afraid to do nearly anything for fear of further destruction, and feels incredibly trapped and frightened by his circumstances. all of these factors contribute to his behaviors and choices, including (but not limited to) breaking up with mickey. did he end things because he didn't want mickey to spend his life coping with the realities of loving someone with this disorder? yes. but he did what he did because he was scared. and i think it's really important we make that distinction when talking about and analyzing that storyline.

as always, if there's anything you want to talk about or if you have any other questions you are always welcome in my inbox! i hope you're having a lovely day 💛

just know that i love you. - for helaena

The descending chill of a winter evening made her shiver all of a sudden, but she barely felt it now when heat burn her cheeks, a blush tinting her cheeks rosy pink. Whether this was a dream or a reality she could not say. The Queen came to Winterfell to provide resources for the ailing of the Winter Fever escorted by Dreamfyre and to discuss relations between the Crown and the North, and by the time they were done, the sun was beginning to set, the sky bleeding and they walked through the courtyard together by the godswood of Winterfell, towering heart tree and greater castle bigger than even the Red Keep where she was born and raised, dressed in furs of white wolves that Lord Stark had given her as a gift, her moonglow hair as white as the winter snows falling all around them done up in a braided crown, adorned with gemstones, sapphires and pearls and styled with nets and adornments.

And then, she ran, ran and ran, running faster than she's ever ran before.

A leap of faith, she breaks off the invisible chains that bound her all her life and throws them away, shakes off the dust that turns her to rust, to jump into his arms and presses her rose red lips against his in a kiss softer than the wings of a butterfly. Helaena swathed herself in him and the night and the winter air that made her breathe deeper with every breath, bringing him closer to this new reality they made.

Dreamfyre's song singing from outside the massive walls of Winterfell was prettier than any song from any maiden that she's ever heard, deep, haunting, and ethereal. They seem to sway as if dancing, before she pulls away, fingertips stroking his cheek. ❝𝐀𝐯𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐫ā𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧, 𝐚ō𝐡𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐞 ñ𝐮𝐡𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐤𝐬ā.❞ I love you, I am yours and you are mine. Hela weaves her fingers into his dark hair as she presses her forehead to his, the feeling of pure and utter bliss lacing through her veins and filling her heart. Helaena knew all too well she had to return to the capital but she didn't want to leave.

If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it the last five blogs in your notifs. Anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog <3

Omg thank you for tagging me! 🥰

Most of these are probably obvious to people who know me, but I tried to pick things that I don't post about on here very often.

3 Random Facts About Me:

I was born blind! (Specifically, with cataracts.) Although I can see now, my cataracts went unnoticed for a while which caused me to develop a whole bunch of other issues with my eyes that I still deal with today. (It's something I'm very open and comfortable talking about btw! I wear the label "disabled" with pride!)

I used to make YouTube videos! My sister, @this-is-macy, and I made all kinds of videos together for over 10 years, from vlogs to music videos to a little bit of everything! We're on hiatus for now, but who knows, maybe we'll return to it one day.

I'm a massive Jonas Brothers fan! I have been since 2008 and their music always makes me feel at home.

(I'll tag some people specifically but I'm also tagging anyone reading this who wants to join in!)

[ask-macy-the-mossfly]

I see! I'm glad that it healed quickly, and that they don't hurt anymore! Anyways, what is your opinion on the little savior?

"I uh..had a weird dream tonight and I think it's still lingering in my head, I didn't mean to ramble so much..apologies"

I have to ask; because why not. Besides tomatoes what else is our carrot top growing in his garden? You think he’s a house plant dad as well? From one green thumb to another I feel like Ian’s the type to genuinely treat plants with a lot of care.

UMMMM hello this is my favorite ask all time??? ryan i am smooching you smooching you smooching you for this 🍅🌿☀️ YESSSS i think he grows many things in his garden!

basil and herbs for his homemade dinners 🥰 gotta have that pesto with his tomatoes

weed plant that mickey gave him 🥳

berries 🍓🫐 for pies!

maybe some cucumbers and peppers?

FLOWERS! marigolds for pest control, pansies bc it makes mickey laugh, daffodils bc i say so and i love them

and yes absolutely he has house plants! i love to think of him pruning and watering his lil guys, chatting with them and making sure they're getting enough sun 🥰 he loves to care for them YEAH!

hello lovely court!!! happy 2k celly 💅💛 i hope u know your bar looks amazing (josie’s is shaking fr) <333

for my first drink could i please order glass of wine — what are your fav alcoholic bevvies to order at a bar/drink at home etc!!!

hi my precious petal macy!! 🌸 

thank you so much my darling! ugh what a dream it would be to go to josie's with you. <3

my fav drinks to order at the bar are either a margarita on the rocks (with salt on the rim, this is v important) or a dos xx with lime (the lime is v important).

as far as at home, I love ranch waters. (if I feel like mixing it up when i'm out, i'll order one of these) I don't know if ranch water is a thing outside of the south, but if you're interested, here's my recipe!

court's ranch water: 3 shots of blanco tequila (you can do less, i'm just a heavy handed bartender), one squeezed lime wedge, depending on the size of your glass-fill almost to the top with topo chico (topo chico is a must), and line your glass with tajin if you're feelin spicy (I also like to sprinkle a lil tajin in the drink) 🌶️

what's your drink of choice??

[sanssupremacy]

Can I ask what happened with Jakei? I hadn’t heard anything about it and honestly looking into it has left me confused

I can't fully explain with my words because just like you annon, I'm a bystander, and i don't want to twist things because of what i interpret from Jakei. So I'll give you the two important posts for this whole thing. If you wish to know more about it, i suggest going to jakei's profile (@/jakei95)

favorite thing about each knight?

Aaron is very daring, and also an overall chill guy, so i just really like his personality and his energy. Axl is a big sweetheart, but he knows his limits, and can be a brute when needed, he's very self aware and i respect him. Clay has a strive for justice, but also knows how to loosen up every now and then, he has a sense of honor that was only shaken by literal dark magic. He also has a deep care for others (despite being stone-faced at times... haha i'm so hilarious and funny) Lance may be egotistical but he is very kind when he pushes past that, he seems willing to accept change and I love that about his character. Macy is determined as hell, like seriously she did NOT give up on her dreams of being a knight, and i feel it's overlooked heavily at times due to how she can be in the later seasons. Seriously, she is an amazing character.
