Here's what you missed on...

Oh excuse me

Miss me? Mickey?

🌑 the moon from the fuck-u-up tarot 🌑

Before meeting Mickey, Ian had no idea that the moon had eight phases. Hell, he didn’t even notice the tattoo on their first night together because some fuckin’ sap liked it face to face, but after lunch with Mandy, Ian had bent Mickey over the arm of his own goddamn couch, and there they were, one right after the other— New Waxing crescent First quarter Waxing gibbous Full Waning gibbous Last quarter Waning crescent —lining Mickey’s spine. Each carrying a different shade, a different energy, and a different way to flow. Ian was fascinated.  Turned the fuck on.  And oddly validated.  He’d never given it much thought before, but after a few meditations on the subject, Ian couldn’t help but wonder: If the moon was in constant flux, constant change; then, couldn’t it stand to reason that maybe his state of mind, his pace, his moods, weren’t so odd after all?  an exception to the rule | ch. 9: opening up in phases

[now updating on ao3]

Just so y’all know: I can’t speak for every other fic author but I can say that I remember when people leave me kind comments. I recognize your urls and/or usernames on AO3. I remember you and sometimes in writing my fics I think to myself, “Oh, I hope this person sees this because they liked x in this other fic I did.”

Not only that—I go back and reread comments when I’m feeling low. I look at tags and reblogs and asks and wish I could hold them in my hand like a note from a friend on an old, torn piece of notebook paper.

Your comments have so much more impact than you know. So thanks to those who use the comment section to spread love and encouragement. We appreciate you.

I love you. It means we take care of each other. It means thick and thin, good times, bad, sickness, health, all that shit.

@gallacrafts Theme 32:

I love you. And I miss you.

Fandom is what keeps me invested in a TV show after it is over, and while I love Ian and Mickey’s story, there was an insane amount of stuff we didn’t get to see, especially in their early years.

I love that fandom exists to fill in the blanks and that I can read filler fic and fix it fic all day long and never risk running out of stories to read.

Fandom rocks and Baby Gallavich are love

Thanks @deedala for the gif assist <3

I just saw a post about being against Ian and Mickey as dads, and it got me thinking.

I don't love the idea of them specifically trying to have a baby. I think Mickey has so much trauma to unpack that it's just ... it's a no from me, Simon.

But I love the idea of them becoming accidental parents in a few years. Like, one night at a Gallagher dinner Liam brings a friend along to stay for a few nights because "his family's a nightmare", but there's so much fucking drama going on in that house that by the end of the night, after playing a few rounds of Mario Cart with him, Mickey's all like, "hey, you can crash on our couch for a few days" and crashing on their couch turns into them buying a second-hand bed and putting it in the spare room and a few days turns into five years.

And then a year later there's this girl who hangs out near their favourite South Side burger joint and even though she's young, she's clearly homeless but totally gives Mickey Mandy vibes. Liam's friend has moved is an adult by now, moved out and doing great, so Mickey offers her the couch. Couch turns into the spare bed, etc, etc.

And then, for a while and for whatever reason, Franny takes up permanent residence in the room for, like, six months, maybe a year. And a while after she moves out her non-binary partner isn't accepted by their parents and because they're still in high school they need a place to live, so they move in and Mickey's all like "doors stay open!" any time Franny visits.

And I just really want the whole "plenty of strays wandering around the neighbourhood. I'm sure we can pick one up for cheap" to come to fruition one day.

“And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”

Have you guys thought about the fact that Ian's hand covers Mickey's entirely. Have you thought about big paw holding small paw today. Have you thought about Mickey's hand being held gently. Have you thought about Ian doing the thumb caress thing on Mickey's hand. Have you thought about Ian gently running his thumb over his FUCK U-UP tattoo. HAVE YOU
