Redheaded Gallaghers in the Kitchen

You know how Ian loves being a big brother? And an uncle? You know what I think is neat? It was Debbie who first made him both of those things.

I think about the "mickey your boyfriend?" "he's in your bed" "you love mickey?" scene from 4x11 A Lot because it is just this nice quiet conversation between brothers about ian and mickey's relationship from that point in the story

think about the situation from carl's point of view, his older brother ian has been gone for months with no one knowing where he's been or what he's been doing and then one night ian is back home without much of an explanation except a few vague sentences

ian's home, and with him is mickey, who the family doesn't know all that well except as the local neighborhood thug who worked with ian at his old job when he wasn't in juvie and is best friends with ian

now mickey is living in the gallagher house, spending all to most of his time by ian's side, so carl asks the obvious question "mickey your boyfriend?" to which he gets the "we hang out" answer, carl responds with "he's in your bed" as evidence that mickey is ian's boyfriend, because being in a significant other's bed even if they're just sleeping, is an incredibly intimate act

later in the scene carl asks ian "you love mickey?" ian and mickey can't have been living together in the gallagher house very long, a few weeks or maybe a month, I'm not sure how much time has passed between ian coming home and 4x11, but as brief as it may have been there had to have been a lot of moments where carl could see how comfortable and happy ian was whenever he and mickey were together in the house, enough that he noticed and decided to ask ian if he loves mickey, because what else could it be?

ian says "I like how he smells" so later when carl and bonnie are lying down to go to sleep, he smells her hair because he thinks he loves her so he wants to check if he likes how she smells so he can be sure because he's a kid that looks up to his big brother as someone to emulate so he takes cues from ian, he knows there's more to love than just liking someone's scent, that's just one part of it, but he remembers their conversation from earlier in the day so he decides to apply what ian said and after doing so he smiles while falling asleep with bonnie and it's just a nice conclusion to the beginning of the episode

I’ve noticed lately that it’s often Americans who leave tags like “I don’t even care if it’s made up” on posts I make that are not particularly unbelievable, but are pretty specific to my way of life or corner of the world (like the one about the cheese vendor). It reminds me of that tweet that was circulating, that said Americans have a “medieval peasant scale of worldview”—I mean, if you don’t want to be perceived this way by the rest of the world maybe don’t go around social media saying that if a cultural concept or way of life sounds unfamiliar it must be made up?

It’s the imbalance that’s annoying, because like—when I mentioned having no mobile network around here I had people giving me info about Verizon to fix my problem. I post some rural pic and someone says it must be somewhere in the Midwest because the Southwest doesn’t look like this. My post about my postwoman has thousands of Americans assuming it’s about the USPS. On my post about my architect there’s someone saying “it’s because architecture is an impacted major” and other irrelevant stuff about how architecture is taught in the US. This kind of thing happens so so so often and I’m expected to be familiar with the concepts of Verizon and the Midwest and impacted majors and the USPS and meanwhile I make a post about my daily life and Americans in the notes are debating like “dunno if real. it sounds made up”

Going online for the rest of the world means having to keep in mind an insane amount of hyperspecific trivia about American culture while going online for Americans means having to keep in mind that the rest of the world really exists I guess

A new book explains why Americans know so little about other countries.

Not to be dramatic but the satellite music video being about a lil rover spending its life waiting to come home and never being able to is the thing that might tip me over the edge
