A tumblr account devoted to Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich from Showtime's Shameless
Normally, Mickey wouldn’t have paid much attention - but today the shitty chairs in the visiting area felt especially uncomfortable. He had assumed it would be Mandy, but it was a redheaded boy he wasn’t sure he wanted to see. Against his better judgment, Mickey picked up the handset anyway.
After months of pretty much dreading the thought of Ian sleeping with a way older guy (or any guy besides Mickey really lol), I’m glad to say that it was tastefully portrayed in S02E11. In a way it was nice to see Ian let himself loose and have a bit of fun, even though I’m still a bit sketched out by the vast age difference.
Guess we’ll be seeing more of the older guy in the finale when Ian runs into him. I remember reading a theory out there that this guy is Jimmy’s dad, which should make things suitably interesting/awkward.
Still rooting for my OTP of Ian/Mickey in Season 3 though!
Btw Mickey, you’re being kind of obvious here.
Nobody believes your little lie about the warm mouth.
“I have read it (Zooey Magazine) before, it’s a… yeah, it’s a very cool magazine. Um, I’m kind of supporting a, a person who’s been featured in the magazine before, Noel Fisher, who’s on our show.”
Cam’s voice sounds just a touch deeper than the older footage we’re currently seeing in Season 2 - I like it :D
aohatsu asked: Isn't it strange that Mickey had more screen time in the first season than the second, yet he's been promoted to series regular for season three? What kind of story/plotlines for him do you think we can/should expect?
My guess is that Noel’s filming/traveling schedule for other projects probably had something to do with the fact that Mickey got less screen time in Season 2.
We’ve known for a while now that Noel is amazing, and now Showtime’s joining the party. Sometimes I like to think that our awesome online community of Ian/Mickey shippers created enough of a presence that the show’s producers are reacting by setting the stage for much more Ian/Mickey time :)
I have no idea what we can expect with Mickey in Season 3 and beyond, but it’ll be cool to learn more about his upbringing and family history. Since Emma Greenwell is also on board as a regular in Season 3, we’ll probably get to see a contrasting side of dysfunctional in the Milkovich family (where it seems much more “every man for himself” next to the love and solidarity of the Gallaghers).
Ultimately, I’m really just hoping for a LOT of Ian/Mickey screen time lol. Ian is clearly smitten, and Mickey’s in it a lot deeper than he’s willing to let on. Time to man up and learn how to handle a real relationship? :D
From S02E09
Ian: “How’s uh, Mickey holding up in juvie?”
Mandy: “Called me a fucktwat, so he seems okay. You should visit him.”
Ian: “Yeah, he’s a little pissed at me for something, he thinks I pussied out.”
Mandy: “Did you?”
Ian: “Kinda.”
Now I’m wondering if Mandy already has an inkling about Ian and Mickey. Since the boys aren’t exactly friends, why would Mandy suggest that Ian go visit Mickey in juvie?
Also, I was a bit annoyed at first when Terry came barging into the Gallagher house and attacked Ian, but after thinking over the situation I’m guessing Mandy told her dad about the pregnancy (or he found out somehow) but she couldn’t explain why the kid isn’t Ian’s without outing him (and maybe inadvertently her brother as well). Now I’m super curious about how this is all going to turn out.
Update: Saw the sneak peek for S02E10, Mandy tells her dad (that the baby is Lip’s?) and there are guns involved… uh oh lol
Even though Monica is an annoying selfish bitch, her little interactions with Ian in S02E09 were pretty great and said a lot about Ian/Mickey (if only from Ian’s side of things).
