Shameless S2ep10

Nah fuck lip. Taking it out on fiona just because she for once had hopes of actually living a little instead of giving up everything for her siblings.

He left the house because he wanted to blow up his life and abandon his chance at a good future for a girl that doesn't give a fuck abt him and a kid he doesn't even know it's his and he gets mad at fiona for thinking of herself FOR ONCE ?!? She is not perfect they all have issues but no one appreciates how much she has done her whole life to keep the house going.

I will always be in Fiona's corner I don't care

And of course fuck Frank and Monica i hate them so much

Then he grabs the razor and brings it up, and Ian is in full concentration. His mouth presses into an even firmer line, and his eyes are sharp on where the blade is about to go on Mickey’s skin, and Mickey wishes that there was a way to do this where they weren’t face to face.  — it'd be better if you flayed me alive by @crestfallercanyon

Art raffle gift for Michelle @michellemisfit <3 I hope this is the 'slight edge of danger' combo you imagined 🖤🔪

This fic hit me hard. I had a deep resonance or something. I was just overhelmed with feelings, so here we are.

MICKEY MILKOVICH 2.02 — "Summer Loving"

[deedala]

@gallacrafts theme 37: friendships

[alchely]

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.

the fucked up shameless timeline honestly makes so much sense because yeah i'd be depressed too if i was 17 for like 3 years

[ohnopeh]

one of the things that don't sit well with me when it comes to ian and his other relationships is how they used him and how he went with it just to please them and ''move on''/not being alone. caleb taking ian to the wedding so he could piss his father off + ian dancing with him like he did back at the club (which i didn't like cause it feels as if ian still thought that his body was what people wanted from him)

when ian and caleb go to the doctor to have ian tasted, he's not comfortable to have his boyfriend there whilst talking about his sexual life

ian doubting his sexuality cause of caleb's cheating ass?

trevor acting superior because he knows so much about the lgbtq community- being so sure ian is into him but denies it due to trevor being trans? ian switching to bottom, trevor showing himself as this caring person whilst he gave so much shit to ian about anything he has ever done or said (him being gay jesus due to mania and taking all the attention - like wtf?) (trevor saying ian needs to move on because his mum said she's sorry?? - again, wtf?)

ian uses sex a lot to avoid talking about his feelings, which is something mickey did too till the end of s3. but once they started dating during s4 they could things out and did so

with trevor, even after breaking up, ian would just go to him for sex when wanting to avoid thinking. knowing that trevor made ian go to the chubby gay club to ''grieve'' his mother could only amplify the idea that sex is how you cope with emotions (which didn't work as he got comforted by a stranger)

i know ian had lots of good moments during mickeyless seasons, but i feel like he really couldn't be himself around people he was supposed to love, it feels like he's on the edge. i don't know if was ''just'' due to noel and cameron's chemestry that made their relationship feel genuine? without judgment?
