List all the characters you hate on Shamless

Frank Gallagher and Terry Milkovich. They’re the only two people on Shameless I actively hate. Like with a passion. All the other characters I have a love/hate thing going on with them. Except for Mickey and Ian, I love those two to bits and nothing they do can make me hate them.

[its-a-queer-thing]

Do you think Mickey is coming back in season 8?

Oh, anon… This is such a hard question…In short, I really have no idea because I can’t decide if my logically thought out reason for his guaranteed return is still covered by my bias and my desire for him to come back, and I also completely recognize the possibility that he may not. What I do know is this:

1. Noel Fisher has said repeatedly that the ball is in the writers/producers court; that he is totally open to coming back.

2. Noel has told a couple of fans to “just keep watching” and hinted that if prison walls aren’t going to keep Mickey away then neither is a border.

3. At one point, Sheila Callaghan said (though I no longer have concrete evidence of this unfortunately so this is kind of hearsay) that Mickey’s character isn’t dead.

4. The cast and writers all seem to genuinely love Mickey’s character (despite the deplorable treatment in season 6 and 7).

5. I’d estimate half of the fandom has threatened to stop watching after season 8 if Mickey doesn’t come back. Whether or not the producers heed that threat is debatable, but either way I’m sure they probably recognize that they need to somehow keep the Gallavich fans happy because they are definitely a majority of the Shameless fandom and we’ve raised a pretty big stink about this…

6. If they don’t bring Noel back by the end of season 8 (and I mean make it possible for him to come back full time because if they bring him in and write him off AGAIN it doesn’t count) there will be no season 9. I just can not see them getting renewed for another season and I’m not the only one that thinks this. As I’ve said before not bringing Noel back would be like TV suicide at this point.

These 6 things are keeping my hopes up for Mickey’s return, but I do still keep in mind the possibility that either the writers are being too stubborn or maybe even that Noel doesn’t actually want to come back (I find this highly unlikely, but yanno, shit happens).

Anon, I desperately HOPE he does for SO MANY REASONS! And I’ll maintain hope probably until mid November/December and if we still haven’t seen anything?? Then I’ll start to get worried.

Thanks for the ask, Anon!

I find it so weird how anyone can actually like Frank Gallagher. Everything he did was just terrible. I mean can you name anything he's actually innocent of?? Because I can't.

The list of all the terrible things that Frank has done is endless. But there is only one thing I can think of that he’s actually innocent of. And that’s what happened with Karen at the end of s1. He was out of his mind high and he was saying no.

thank you for supporting ace-spec and aro-spec people. it truly means a lot to us. <3

No problem! I feel very, very strongly against gatekeeping and people purposefully trying to fraction our community, and it’s super important me to show support. It doesn’t matter if i’m not ace/aro, our community needs to stick by and protect each other.

Hey, dude... are you going to include actual women who love women in the writing of your literal lesbian dating game at all? Like as a gay women I absolutely do not trust two men to portray lesbians well enough or not do something weird or creepy with it and I don't think that's unfair. Lesbian games should be made by lesbians

I think there’s some confusion going on about the game. The person that originally messaged me I’m no longer working with, and I stated that before. I was picked up by another team who has a female lead. Several on the team are women and are part of the community. There are lesbians running the show. There are some agender people and then like, 2-3 guys? I don’t know exactly if I want to divulge everyone’s orientation or gender identities without their permission until they make an about on the official page yet though. It doesn’t really seem right for me to.

Don’t worry though, guys aren’t running the show. I did write some of the characters, but I’m mostly here to do the art, and all the concept and art has to be approved first. I may post sketches once in a while to get public thoughts at one point when we start hashing more things out, but my intentions are to just to help. This is a game is made in mind for women in the community. Women who are lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or however you identify. It’s a game about finding romance with another woman or non-binary person you care about.

Our goal is to make a game with representation for the women in the community like Dream Daddy did. A game that was made by the community for the community that has a heartfelt story, humanity, and actually shows us as people and not sexual objects.

I'm the anon that asked about the game and I'm actually super glad and heartened to hear that. Thank you for answering. I know I was a little callous because I'm just. So tired of lesbians not being involved in things about lesbians, but a thing that's by the community and for the community and good hearted sounds... really good. Im sorry.

Oh  nonono don’t worry! I…do not blame you in the slightest okay? Like I have seen enough “lesbian games” and other things that have been labeled lesbian or gay that are obviously not for us. I’ve seen enough of that and seen enough of us being sexualized and seen as some sort of weird fun taboo nonsense for people not in our community to look at and kinda froth over.

I promise you that this game is literally the opposite. These are relatable characters. I want to give examples but that’d be spoilers. ;_; And I don’t want to spoil! I’ll have to ask the lead what info I”m allowed to give out and what hints I’m allowed to drop but I know at least 2 other people on the team and they are in the same boat as you and me, and are tired of that. We aren’t going to let it happen with this.

It’s going to be a sfw game for starters, and I hope people will love the kids because some of the concepts right now are freaking adorable.

One hint I can give: depending on if the idea gets the green light, some of you may get to learn some sign language along the journey. :)

heads up lmao Neil and co are throwing a fit over you and nightmare mommy

Lord they need to fucking get lives already. I don’t exactly care what they think about me because they are nasty manipulative gatekeeping assholes but hey, if they wanna shit themselves over someone that hasn’t associated with them for over…a year or more? That’s their problem not mine.
