just saw someone say mickey brings out the worst in ian. do ppl just watch shameless with their eyes closed? if they actually watched the whole show, we are shown that ian is clearly an unhinged south side mf without mickey just as much as he is with mickey (like ian is a gallagher, they are all unhinged mfs). the real difference when ian is with mickey (because he’s settled, happy and in love), is he wants to start thinking of the future more! in fact i think mickey brings out the best of ian as ian is most like himself with mickey!
i recommend blocking people lol at the end of the day no matter how weird that take is there's something miserable about sitting through 11 seasons of a show hating the only relationship that starts in s1 and becomes endgame. like damn how do you even suffer through s10 and s11 if you don't even like one of main brightspots of that post-fiona era. like imagine watching the gallavich wedding episode and getting no joy out of it. like eating food and not being able to taste it. rip.
