nick miller getting things wrong: a thrilling saga
It’s you and me. It’s always been you and me.
(。♥‿♥。)
actually i’m gonna talk about this ❤ i don’t want any straight people dishing out lukewarm takes about any aspects of mickey’s life, ever, because they’re so detached from reality and it shows 😭 not to be gingerophobic but no, ian wasn’t hurting as much as mickey was in any of the time they were secretly seeing each other in the first seasons, and i’m not starting shit to start shit, it’s plain logic. ian’s family didn’t give a shit about whether he was gay or not, and there was no risk of him being disowned or fag bashed or killed by any of them if they found out about him and mickey – the only thing he had to worry about was whether or not mickey really liked him and issues tying into his hypersexuality and self esteem that stemmed from being groomed, which i’m not minimizing, but this has also nothing to do with mickey and is not something that stemmed from his relationship with him. mickey, on the other hand, risked being fag bashed at the very least, killed at worst, and i get that this is hard to grasp if you will never have to experience it but this is real. like, you can feel bad for ian because big bad mickey doesn’t validate him and doesn’t want to come out, but what ian and a lot of people don’t understand is that……..he was going to be killed. and he knew that. and he still chose to see ian and be with him, even though the risk was this big, and he still came out before he was ready and he did it for ian, which is crazy because he of all people should know how dangerous it was for him – but this is the point i’m trying to make, he didn’t because he was lucky enough not to need to, and even though he never really came out on his own terms, he never ran the risk of being killed for it either.
specifically: another thing, when people say ian suffered as much as mickey during and after 03.06……no. i get that it must be tough to know the person you love went through all of that, and also having them marry someone else, but imagine being the person going through that. imagine having to defend yourself and your boyfriend from your murderous father (while said boyfriend tries to make a run for it……for whatever reason) and then getting pistol-whipped for your troubles, then being put through corrective rape at gunpoint, then being forced into an arranged marriage with your rapist (not her fault but she technically was), then being stuck with the kid that is product of your rape and being labelled a deadbeat father because interacting with the kid hurts. i get it’s hard for straight people to sympathize but perhaps try not to be so firm in your takes if you aren’t risking going through that. i’m not saying different things can’t be sad at the same time, but mickey’s conflict was exponentially bigger, and it confuses me when people blame him for being cold towards ian after all of this happened, and coddling poor ian because his boyfriend married someone else. i think mickey gets to be a little mean after being raped and forced into a marriage as well as forced to raise a kid at EIGHTEEN, he was a KID when all this happened, and ian’s as well as some people’s failure to understand that frustrates me, which is why i am revealing the fact that i’m jobless by taking the time to make a post this long about the homophobic clown show
this!!!! i agree with every single sentence so much it hurts. admitting the fact that mickey had it much worse does not, in any way, negate ian’s love for mickey. it doesn’t mean that ian is a bad person. ian did love mickey and he did have good intentions towards him always, but that does not change the fact that he just didn’t understand. he didn’t grow up with an abusive father like t***y (yes, frank occasionally hurt ian too but literally ian’s entire family stood up for him and protected him whenever that happened. mickey’s brothers and mandy couldn’t do that) (jimmysteve sent frank off to canada after he hurt ian. mickey had literally no one to protect him at all. ever), he didn’t have to experience blatant homophobia growing up like mickey did. ian grew up in a family, had to come out to a family, that either didn’t give two shits (frank and monica) about who ian preferred sexually or loved and accepted him (ian’s siblings). it’s like so completely separate from what mickey had to live with, the two situations aren’t even in the same realm.
ian loved him then, undoubtedly, but he wasn’t very empathetic towards mickey and that’s okay to admit. he didn’t understand what mickey was going through and didn’t really try to and did push him when it wasn’t right (especially the whole forcing him to come out thing in s4). the way i see it, the gallaghers are very self-involved people: it’s hard for them to see past their own needs/wants to pay attention to someone whose last name isn’t gallagher. (i guess i’ll have to make a post about this soon because i have a lot to say on the topic) and i also think that ian must have finally gained some perspective on what mickey went through when the whole gay jesus thing happened. it must’ve made him realise that mickey’s situation and mickey’s fear wasn’t some anomaly but it was a very real thing that a lot of people go through. i feel like if ian and mickey had met later in life when ian had matured a little, he’d have been more sympathetic towards mickey’s situation and handled it better.
back to mickey, even if you are straight, it’s very easy to sympathise/empathise with him if you have literally any experience (i hope you don’t) with an abusive parent situation. it’s fucking terrifying to live in a situation like that, period. that fear is embedded into you since the moment you are old enough to comprehend emotions and you live with it 24/7 because your parent is right there and you can’t do anything about it. like living in that kinda situation, it’s impossible to let go of that fear of your parent. it, or some echo of it, still lives with you even after you’ve separated yourself from your parent. (even frank gallagher, notorious for not giving a fuck about anything or anyone, cowers infront of his mother till her dying day because she was abusive) there’s that fear, and then there’s that hate for your parent, and then, the worst of them all, that need to earn some kind of validation from them. you hate yourself for that, but it’s still there: you still want your parent(s) to love you and be proud of you; you still want to impress them somehow so that they’ll love and care for you for once and not hurt you. (like frank involving himself in his mother’s plan or whatever to try to appease her somehow (i don’t remember the details)) there’s a whole combination of complicated, negative emotions that live within you and it’s horrible, to say the absolute least.
so mickey has to live with all that, plus the fact that his father hates such a fundamental part of him. of course he’s going to try and repress that part of him if he can. of course he’ll try to avoid any and all complications and the possibly of gaining any more unwanted feelings. feelings that’ll do nothing but harm him. of course he’ll try to avoid the possibility of his father finding another, huge, reason to hurt him. of course he’ll try to avoid being hurt by people other than his father. because, even if he ignores the terrifying presence of his father, who he is is someone a large number of people hate and wouldn’t hesitate to seriously hurt. and i’m not even going to go into what happened to mickey after his father found out. so like, the question is: how else is a human being supposed to react in the situation that mickey is in, other than the way he did?
and the fact that he loved ian so much through all of that shit? fucking awe-inspiring.
it’s the easiest thing to understand what mickey has been through, and how he reacted, if you put in the minimal amount of effort.

And clouds full of fear And storms full of sorrow That won’t disappear Just typhoons and monsoons This impossible year
Have some slow dance-melancholic Zutara I made while listening to this song on repeat
and in the bitter silence of my heart I screamed and yearned for her.
thinking about how the atla finale would have been just as if not more powerful if katara and aang had just… hugged… and THAT had been the moment when the music swelled, and we/the camera soared off into the sunset, instead of their hug being downplayed (because a powerful friendship/the implication of romance just isnt enough, apparently) in favour of an entirely too-long kiss between a 12 and 14 year old. because everything Must be romantic and it’s not enough to have a wonderful story about the power of friendship, morality, and compassion prevailing over evil. really just thinking about that.
I foresee a great romance for you...
