You want to know why we only ask about Mickey?
You took Fiona and made her from the selfless hardworking women trying her best to provide for her family and care for siblings to a woman who was so engrossed with a man she met for months that she neglected and practically starved her family for a marriage that lasted 5 hours.
You took Lip and made him from a genius who could get into a top tier university with a scholarship into a man who was sleeping with his professor with the consent of her husband and felt absolutely no moral repercussions for it.
You took Ian and made him from a young man who was doing well in school, ambitious and hopeful into a man who seemingly has given up on everything, let his mental illness pretty much dictate him, and gave up on the one good thing in his life.
You took Carl and made him from a cute troublemaker who loved his family very much into a boy who didnāt care about the consequences of him going to jail, left, and basically destroyed his future. (Even though itās because Ethan wanted a normal childhood but there are better ways to deal with him leaving temporarily).
You took Debbie and made her from a little girl full of ideations about love and family, had a sensitive soul that cared deeply for everyone around her and tried to cheer everyone up because it was who she was and you made her into girl who raped her boyfriend to get what she wanted and lied to her second boyfriend so she could cheat her way into his family via pregnancy.
You took Mandy and Sheila, who were integral to the story, with Mandy being Ianās best friend and Lipās one good and stable relationship and support and Sheila being the voice of conscience in Frankās ear, and you sent them away.
I wonāt mention Frank because frankly, I donāt actually recall what he did in season 5.
You took Mickey and made him from a homophobic asshole that denied his feelings for Ian and who hated his wife because of the forced marriage and who couldnāt even hold his child because of it and made him into a young man who was now on good terms with his wife, loved his child very much, and was having a good life with Ian since he finally came to term with his feelings. This man liked his wife, loved his child, loved Ian, who was so worried when Ian and Yev went missing, held them so tight when they were found, and was loyal and faithful, and he will be gone.
And you wonder why we ask about Mickey?
