ok since u were just talking abt trevor / ian & mickey in ur tags im gonna just go off for a second! the scene where trevor tells ian to just move on bc monica apologized always kind of made me ? bc he's literally a social worker for lgbt teens in crisis like.. it seems like he should be able to understand complicated relationships with parents and understand why ian cant just "move on"

yeah, you’re absolutely right! it’s actually quite baffling how insensitive he is about the issue considering his professional background. he should be aware of the fact that some parent-child relationships are more complicated and emotionally charged than others, and that issues within these relationships sometimes can’t be soothed, let alone resolved, with an apology. his “move on” comment in this situation always rubbed me the wrong way bc it feels like he doesn’t even attempt to see things from ian’s perspective ir sympathized with his situation as a survivor of parental neglect & abuse.

#thank you so much for the ask!! i never even considered this until now! it’s quite a great observation #i was always really confused why he kinda took monica’s side in this scene #like i mean he should be aware that he doesn’t know how complicated ian’s relationship with his mother is #yet he’s out there acting all self-rightous like he’s got any authority to judg the situation #his first concern as a boyfriend should be ian’s emotional well-being and not monica’s #i’m still on s6 in my rewatch so my memory of the episode is a bit fusy #but i think he apologizes afterwards #and i think i really appreciated that he did that and realized he was kinda stepping out of line #but as i said i might not remember correctly #answer #mish watches shameless
