IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher

what could be more fun than celebrating a birthday together and breaking a couple of laws?

As much as I get that the other Gallaghers have their own shit going on and the writers wanted to stay true to them being chaotic or whatever this whole scene and the following one still annoys me. Like Ians just got out of prison and they're all absent and disinterested...when Ian sits down in the house and realise he's alone (apart from a bunch of Mexican strangers) I get so sad (and mad). But I guess that's Ian all over, the forgotten middle child who they mostly ignored whenever he dissapeared or got sick. And then I think about if Ian was coming out of prison to a free Mickey, how different his experience would have been. His welcome home party was left up to Liam to organise, the youngest in a house full of adults. No way Mickey would have left Ian to come home to a house like that, he would have been planning his return for days, weeks, months. Just like he planned that anniversary party 😭❤😍

I think we all fundamentally take Ian and Mickey's final episode in S2 wrong...

If we just take the "warm mouth" scene alone at face value then sure, Mickey is absolutely being deliberately cruel to Ian.

But let's look at how Ian takes it in the wake of that exchange, he talks about it only once in the next few episodes, and he says to Mandy that "Mickey thinks I pussied out" [on killing Frank] and he thinks he 'kinda' did.

This is Ian and Mickey soulmatism "we just get each other on a molecular level", so their thought process is somewhat inscrutable to us on the outside, but I think, in a way, that Mickey was already pretty serious about his relationship with Ian in season 2 and seeing Ian not willing to "fight" for them to be together felt like the ultimate betrayal.

Let's not forget that in that initial scene right after Frank discovered them Mickey was talking in plural, 'we do this, we do that'.

Seeing Ian refusing to help him the way he needed to be helped was definitely something that hit Mickey hard and caused him to lash out.

And it's not like Ian wasn't trying in his way! He was going through what he thought was the safest route to keep Mickey around cause he also cares a great deal about his not-boyfriend (let's not forget that the point of not killing Frank isn't that he turns his nose up at patricide but that he didn't want Mickey to go to juvie).

By misunderstanding his actions and not giving him time to explain Mickey jumps the gun and says what he says, and he's only able to see reason months later when nothing happens from the safety of prison.

There's obviously that other layer to the conversation, that Ian fundamentally doesn't understand the severity of the risk for Mickey and just how afraid he is ('we've got nothing to be ashamed of' 'what fucking world do you live in') because their families are so different, which will bite him in the ass later.

Mickey coming back to Ian in S3 the way he did, I know some people found it weird that Ian was immediately on board when their last interaction was what it was (cause we're fixated on the "you're nothing but a warm mouth"), but what they don't get is that this is Mickey forgiving Ian and giving him another chance, not the other way around.

Edit: I also don't think that that whole situation was swept under the rug either, Mickey learns pretty quickly that Ian isn't at his beck and call anymore at the beginning of S3, despite what their initial reunion suggests, that he's got "options" (yes Ian was doing it to make him jealous, but he doesn't know that) and I think that was him learning that in S2 he had pushed Ian too far away, that his words and actions had consequences in the relationship.

Some of my favourite details in shameless that make their world seem lived in

1. Mickeys crushed RedBull can, the human skull, the baton and of course his art on the walls

2. The whole in the wall from “Time to kill the turtle” which was never fixed ~ Frank’s destruction is everlasting

3. The toilet roll on the dirty floor, the different coloured towels and the hairdryer on the back of the toilet

4. The “no parking” sign most likely stolen, the globe, kids drawings all over the wall and the stickers on the bedpost

5. It’s so clear this house belonged to an old lady, look at the wallpaper and the curtains, aunt gingers furniture mixed in with the highchair for Liam and other plastic kid-safe plates

6. The toy car on the kitchen isle and the sticker on the water heater, the leftover kitchenware from aunt ginger and the cheap plastic containers

7. “Food stamps ok” <3

8. The warning tape Lip or Ian presumably decorated their door with, the teddy bear duck taped to the wall, the full laundry bin, a single wall-scone

9. Bubble wrap as curtains, multiple bones and skulls, an alligator head, crushed beer cans, mismatching bedding and a drawing of tits

10. Glass-stained windows next to the killing bat, lace curtains and chips in the paint on the staircase

While I do so love the image of Mihawk as a blushing virgin bride bashful about all things sex and PDA. I cannot lie to myself.

This is a man that takes off his shirt to put on his jacket before heading outside. He has never known shame a day in his life.

if Mickey hadn’t escaped prison how long do you think it would’ve taken Ian to finally visit him (if ever)

Hi @badassfetish I heard your request for nsfw and my brain said “what if we made it hurt instead?” so that’s what you get for this @galladrabbles

“White noise in my mind Won’t calm down You’re all I think about Running on the music And night highs But when the light’s out It’s me and you now”

He wants to wake Mickey up again, but he’s already done it twice.

He doesn’t understand how Mickey can sleep so much when he’s not tired at all.

Maybe it should be weird that he’s not tired, should’ve crashed from the drugs a couple hours ago. His body should be tired from all the dancing and all the sex, but all he wants is for Mickey to wake up so they can go at it again.

He’d settle for talking to him, anything to get these racing thoughts out of his mind, just something to get him to settle down.

thinkin about (S1) lip just watching you do your makeup in the mirror. you're on your tiptoes, stomach pressed against the sink so your face can just be inches away from the mirror as you smear a black pencil over your waterline. lip stares. it doesn't last too long, but he just smiles. he's not totally sure why you even wear it, but he likes it. he likes when your lipliner smudges after intense makeout sessions. it's evidence. he likes when your lipstick blots on his face when you peck his cheeks. he wishes he could get the shape of your kiss engraved into his skin. even with streaks of mascara running from your bloodshot eyes to your jawline as you cry to him about—well, everything, you're beautiful in his eyes.

he doesn't think you need the makeup, but he knows it makes you feel good.

if you're happy, he's happy.
