i also love how this show is giving the audience more time to see how badass Mantis actually is, like in the comics. she is actually incredibly powerful, a strong fighter, and can do so many things she’s not even aware of until they happen. i fucking love this for her. this was her time to shine and she took it, ran with it, and tackled fake!steve with it.

the only main character on shameless who deserves to be universally hated is frank

#frank ruined all of his children and monica and yes he was a victim as a child but he is also literally just an abusive narcissist #all of the kids have done fucked up things and i don’t like all of them but i could never hate him all as they’re all just victims #them not him* #and mickey is a victim for sure #as for kev and v they deserve criticism but i don’t think they deserve too much hate #literally just frank #shameless #frank gallagher #fiona gallagher #lip gallagher #ian gallagher #debbie gallagher #carl gallagher #liam gallagher shameless #kevin ball #veronica fisher #mickey milkovich

i dont think that byler needs to have had been planned since the beginning for it to still be happening

#now truthfully do i know if byler has always been planned?? im not the duffers so i dont know. maybe #although… #i dont know #will was always supposed to be gay per the pitch book #and thats carried through in s1 #but mike was supposed to have a birthmark and joyce was supposed to be a tough long island mom #things change #el being dead in the original draft doesnt really mean anything cause well shes still here #tbh i can imagine the duffs going into s1 without byler really in mind but then later realizing that it could work #based on how it was already written #‘hey. wouldnt it be funny if we put mike and will together instead of mike and el’ #i dont think that byler or gay mike contradicts what we see in s1. i just dont know if blyer or gay mike was always on their mind #in those early stages of the show #in s2 i could see this however #like how monica and chandler werent always gonna be together #and then they end the show together #byler is still happening as hinted by everything up to this point #that wouldnt change if it were not in fact realized at conception #same thing with el likely not dying just because she was originally planned to

i understand why people don't think doggett was in love with scully or had feelings for her, and that people don't want to see it that way.

however...i think he did have feelings for her. but they weren't what mattered. he empathized with her. losing the father of her child, her partner (eventually her son). and he just cared about her, wanted to be there for her. he valued scully as a person, respected her as an agent, doctor & scientist, believed her as partners. he hoped like hell they would find mulder alive but never believed they would.

the same position scully was in with mulder for seven years. playing the skeptic to her believer, never pushing too hard after within/without. practically begging her to protect herself when mulder does come back but accepting her choice, and just being there in case she needs him and giving her space when she doesn't.

and i just think there's something to be said about a man who can handle rejection and not take it out on her or her partner. who embraces the friendship/relationship she offers. who moves on and doesn't harbor resentment. who can still work with her and respects her deeply.

i don't think they were feelings that endured, but i think they were there.

#john doggett #dana scully #the x files #idk i think about a lot of things #like how his marriage didn't last after they lost their so #but they spread his ashes together and still loved each other so much #and the way he goes to monica for help #and brings her back again and realizes what they have #and she loves scully so much #honestly because she loves doggett... #doggett & reyes had big fat crushes on scully #and they loved mulder because they loved scully #but reyes first loved scully because she loved doggett first #yada yada yada

candyman as a horror icon

something interesting i thought about when discussing fandom’s favorite slasher boys with someone. we have michael myers. jason voorhees. freddy krueger. ghostface. leatherface.

but what about candyman? he absolutely qualifies as a slasher boy. why is he never thought of or included?

he’s ambiguous. he’s mysterious. he has a great backstory, like freddy krueger, but it has actual substance. he comes for ANYONE, but is often drawn to specific types of people like Jason. but he doesn’t just come randomly, he has to be summoned by arrogant or ignorant people, so you get that “well you did this to yourself you idiot” vibe. he’s got that calm demeanor, like Michael. but he’s also slightly intriguing, like you can feel softness in him as he speaks, softness that used to be there. now he is just angry, takes his rage and vengeance out on everyone, even if he has a lot in common with them.

jason, michael, ghost face, and leatherface don’t speak at all, freddy speaks a lot, and then there’s candyman. soft-spoken. deliberate. vague. he doesn’t waste a single word or teases and taunts. and he doesn’t hide who he is. he’s that perfect middle ground of all the icons.  and when you finally find out what happened to him...wow does he become (slightly) more sympathetic. and his outfit is a BANGER.

i dunno. i feel like we should include him in the “slasher boys” lineup. he is a horror icon and he should get that same love.

everytime i watch shameless I get hit with a jolt of sickness and remember how frank and monica stole fionas life from her and she'll never get it back because it never existed because she was a sister first her whole life (from the age of 4) and everything else second and its always just so casual in the show and normal and rarely touched upon but it's not normal at all and it's tragic

#another post made at 2am that i found in the drafts #but my god its messed up how frank and monica got to live their own lives and how the kids got to have aspirations kinda but fiona was just #always stuck with the feeling of being stuck #cause she was forced to devote a largeee chunk of her life to servitude #its so unbelievably telling of frank and monicas innate selfishness above anything else imo : #their willingness to fulfil their mutual desire to extend the feeling of things such as youth and excitement and fun #to the point that they stripped their own daughter of the ability to experience childhood #education #etc #my memory is hazy but frank definitely was in college and i think monica was too? either way they both got to finish HS / experience it #but not fiona!!! its the opposite of parents sacrificing so their children can have more #they had more than fiona did and didnt give a shit about the fact that they just took from her #(obviously im not saying they had rosy perfect lives as kids teens and young adults— far from it actually) #(but its shockingly clear that they had a great deal more than fiona...or at least less on their plates...) #like when frank speaks of being a boy in college #its like.. these opportunities he threw away while fiona would've loved to have them but instead she had to drop out of HS #against her will #like yes its complicated but bottom line is its just sad how frank and monica were both afforded with control over their lives to a degree #while all of fionas life decisions carried the weight of her whole family and she didnt get to have independent control over her life #like for example she didnt drop out of HS cause she actually wanted to #she just didn't have any other choice

Okay this might be a really weird ask so I'm sorry in advance but- what does Sera smell like? Does she smell like feathers because she has wings, like Vincent? (Again hope this isn't weird..)

Not weird at all! Lol a few people have asked before, you're all good.

Birdpeople have notoriously weak noses. Their sense of smell (and taste by proxy) is pretty dull as a result. It's partly how Ser's food is always plain and Vincent smells like a SAW-scented teen who's been tarred and feathered. Sera doesn't particularly care about expensive perfumes like someone (cough Sonia) but she does like floral scents.

She smells like Lavender (Body wash/Shampoo) and baby talc powder. (Powder keeps her wings nice, dry, and itch-free.) When she's not working she uses a rose perfume Nate gave her.

#birdpeople tag #I neglect the birdpeople tag a lot... gotta catch them up one day #She doesn't have the 'feather' smell. She's always on top of herself. Vincent's waterproofing makes him smell a bit like wet chicken though #Monica loved lavender. She put it up all around the house to help her sleep. It's the little things that remind Sera of her. #“It is NOT baby powder I don't want to hear it” “Yeah okay sure Sera are you cranky? want a nappy poo?” “...You are on thin ice Sonia” #Okay so thinking about what everyone smells like is oddly fun lol #Nate smells fresh all the time. He's all washed clothes and colognes like Polo Blue. #Amon smells like basic bodywash #He doesn't care too much about getting something fancy and will brag about his 5 buck cologne being a steal #Ricky smells nice. He goes out of his way to get nicely groomed to “get all the baddies 🤪” Okay Ricky. #He doesn't smell like anything when in goo form though. #Sonia smells like expensive perfume and body oils. It's awesome but can be a bit much at times. Vincent could not care less about it #Sonia would rather die than be rustic. #Vincent smells like Vincent. He is ironically extremely hygenic but the odds are never in his favor #Titan smells like caked blood #Dr. Strohl smells fresh and nice but also has a hint of retro tv static smell. I do not know how to explain further. #Uhh something something variants smell different depending on their habits not necessarily their bodily composition #ARK_SYSTEMA #Seraphinatag

Alternative Storylines

One of the reasons I don’t love the “Mickey came back from Mexico for Ian” storyline (unpopular opinion I know but hear me out) is because of how many more interesting storylines we could’ve got if Mickey had come back in a different way.

For one it would’ve been so interesting to see Ian deal with the fallout from the gay Jesus and prison storyline without Mickey.

Like we know Ian has always thrived when he’s had a purpose and a goal to work towards with first the army, then being an EMT. After prison when he didn’t have either of those, he had Mickey - he found purpose in being a good partner and husband, in getting them out of the south side and earning a living legally. It’s one of the reasons he was so excited about the move to the Westside. In season 11 after he quits the warehouse job we see how much it affects him to not have that purpose anymore (in his mind) and how low it makes him. Mickey helps pull him out of it and makes him shift his focus to a new job that brings on new opportunities and new goals - moving out, expanding the business etc. and we see him come back to himself and think about the future positively again. If he didn’t have Mickey I don’t think that would’ve happened so easily. I honestly think that once he left prison the reality of his actions would’ve really hit him hard and we would’ve seen him spiral similarly to the start of season 6 - “This is it for me, Lip.” In his mind he’d be back where he started after working so hard to get to where he had been. He alludes to it when he says “trying to find the strength to look for another soul crushing dead end job.” It would’ve been SO interesting to watch how he deals with that and see how he pulls himself out of it and comes to terms with his life again.

ALSO there would’ve been a cool callback to season 6 with the storyline of Ian moving on with his life while Mickeys is stuck in prison, except it could’ve been Mickey moving on with his life while Ian is stuck in prison. This would’ve been interesting to explore because I think they’d both understand the other’s actions/feelings so much more. I think Ian would’ve had to deal with the guilt & reality of how shit everything was for Mickey while he was in prison and his own role in that. BUT also I think Mickey moving on with his life would allow him understand more why Ian couldn’t have given everything up to go to Mexico with him and also maybe some of Ian’s actions in season 6. And how they deal with those feelings while finding their way back to each other would’ve made for pretty scenes I think.

I also have more thoughts on how this would’ve given Mickey a chance to have his own growth and development without Ian (which also would’ve been SO good to see) and if he were to come back to Chicago on his own terms, there’s a chance we’d have gotten to see the dynamic of a Mickey who got his life together and Ian who’s life is somewhat in shambles. Not that I think it actually would be in shambles, but I think that’s definitely how Ian would view it himself and witnessing that dynamic would’ve been so interesting.

Would it have been happy? Probably not but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have been decent TV and character development.

#gallavich #ian gallagher #mickey milkovich #shameless #i say interesting so much in this post #anyway I love that gallavich was endgame I just think that particular storyline was incredibly lazy writing #that took away a lot of character development opportunities particularly for Mickey #tho I do get that originally Noel & Cameron weren’t supposed to come back for s10 so #would’ve been cool to see what they would have done had they known they’d both be series regulars again and how that might’ve changed thing #I feel like I could say so much more on this topic #but the gallavich fandom scares me sometimes #Shameless US #Also All the fanfic where Mickey comes back from Mexico a different way usually have Ian as an EMT with his life the same as season 7 #but even without the losing Mickey to Mexico element #Monica’s death wud likely still have triggered his manic episode so it still would’ve happened #So the fallout of it would’ve happened whether Mickey was there or not
