What are your thoughts about Mickey being asthmatic since he was a kid? (been having breathing problems lately, totally not projecting lol)

Like, how would it affect his south side thug persona, him not being able to smoke that much/at all, dr*ug use, stamina, other stuff, and changes in his life in general?

one thing about mickey is he will definitely be serving the cuntiest COPD symptoms in the retirement home!!

canonically, my mans definitely is not in the best shape due to his smoking lol i always think of his wheezes in s10 after scaling the gallagher house 😭

i have asthma triggered by exercise so i really have no clue what other types of asthma are like. but with that, i imagine mickey would play a more passive role in his familys antics, getting his cousins and siblings to do all his dirty work. he commits lots of drive-bys. no running in this universe bitch! im kinda poor and even spending the few bucks on an emergency inhaler has become futile bc it ends up expiring without getting used and i forget to take it with me anyway. so i think mickey definitely has the same mindset of "yeah imma just avoid triggers and if something happens guess ill die 🤪"

mickey is never beating the pillow process allegations so thats not very different from canon 🤭

i hate the idea of mickey being unable to smoke simply bc 1. smoking sexy and homoerotic 2. he would definitely chew instead and i cant handle that level of nasty redneck-ness 🤢
