IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

#happy world bipolar day to all my bp babies #(more thoughts at the end of the tags) #shameless #shamelessnet #shamelessedit #ian gallagher #cameron monaghan #*macygifs #bipolar disorder #hello pals how are we doin #i made this gif set in july of 2023 and never posted it because 1) i was terrified to share it and potentially see Bad Takes in the tags #and 2) because my hyperfixation was waning. and while both of those things are still mostly true (the fixation comes and goes) #i feel like it's really important to share as ian's bipolar storyline was not only so vital to his character it was a bit of representation #that isn't often given to the disorder and those (like myself) who live with it every single day #world bipolar day is a day where we can both celebrate ourselves and our resilience and also raise awareness of the reality of the disorder #which is both terrifying and beautiful at its core. this disease is not a death sentence or a sentence to an unfulfilled and miserable life #while there are challenges galore when it comes to balancing life with this disorder it IS possible to live a full and productive life #and i think it's really important to have representation of that in media - and while shameless dropped the ball on a LOT of storylines #over the years THIS is the one they really fucking nailed and i am incredibly grateful #i first started watching shameless while in the midst of a major depressive episode and i was later (finally) diagnosed during an extended #hypo/manic episode - this show and ian's storyline got me through so much and made me feel so seen and validated in my struggles #world bipolar day is also vincent van gogh's birthday (happy birthday buddy) who was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder #and who experienced both depressive and hypo/manic episodes during his lifetime (and was regularly institutionalized) #it takes a lot of help and support to keep us going. it takes the support of our family and friends and *most* of all #it takes patience and kindness and understanding - which is so so so easy to give if you are willing to love and listen #so please. be willing. listen to our stories. be patient with us. show us love without conditions. support us in any way you can. #we are worth it #i promise #anyway. that's really all i wanted to say. happy world bipolar day to those who celebrate (me) and may all of us living with this disorder #go on to live happy fulfilling beautiful magical lives

i need to get this out of my head before i continue clone^2 but danny being the first batkid. Like, standard procedure stuff: his parents and sister die, danny ends up with Vlad Masters. He drags him along to stereotypical galas and stuff; Danny is not having a good time.

He ends up going to one of the Wayne Galas being hosted ever since elusive Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham. Vlad is crowing about having this opportunity as he's been wanting to sink his claws into the company for a long while now. Danny is too busy grieving to care what he wants.

And like most Galas, once Vlad is done showing him off to the other socialites and the like, he disappears. Off to a dark corner, or to one of the many balconies; doesn't matter. There he runs into said star of the show, Bruce who is still young, has been Batman for at least a year at this point, but still getting used to all these damn people and socializing. He's stepped off to hide for a few minutes before stepping back into the shark tank.

And he runs into a kid with circles under his eyes and a dull gleam in them. Familiar, like looking into a mirror.

Danny tries to excuse himself, he hasn't stopped crying since his parents died and it's been months. He rubs his eyes and stands up, and stumbles over a half-hearted apology to Mister Wayne. Some of Vlad's etiquette lessons kicking in.

Bruce is awkward, but he softens. "That's alright, lad," he says, pulling up some of that Brucie Wayne confidence, "I was just coming out here to get some fresh air."

There's a little pressing; Bruce asks who he's here with, Danny says, voice quiet and grief-stricken, that he's with his godfather Vlad Masters. Bruce asks him if he knows where he is, and Danny tells him he does. Bruce offers to leave, Danny tells him to do whatever he wants.

It ends with Bruce staying, standing off to the side with Danny in silence. Neither of them say a word, and Danny eventually leaves first in that same silence.

Bruce looks into Vlad Masters after everything is over, his interest piqued. He finds news about him taking in Danny Fenton: he looks into Danny Fenton. He finds news articles about his parents' deaths, their occupations, everything he can get his hands on.

At the next gala, he sees Danny again. And he looks the same as ever: quiet like a ghost, just as pale, and full of grief. Bruce sits in silence with him again for nearly ten minutes before he strikes a conversation.

"Do you like to do anything?"

Nothing. Just silence.

Bruce isn't quite sure what to do: comfort is not his forte, and Danny doesn't know him. He's smart enough to know that. So he starts talking about other things; anything he can think of that Brucie Wayne might say, that also wasn't inappropriate for a kid to hear.

Danny says nothing the entire time, and is again the first to leave.

Bruce watches from a distance as he intercts with Vlad Masters; how Vlad Masters interacts with him. He doesn't like what he sees: Vlad Masters keeps a hand on Danny's shoulder like one would hold onto the collar of a dog. He parades him around like a trophy he won.

And there are moments, when someone gets too close or when someone tries to shake Danny's hand, of deep possessiveness that flints over Vlad Masters' eyes. Like a dragon guarding a horde.

He plays the act of doting godfather well: but Bruce knows a liar when he sees one. Like recognizes like.

Danny is dull-eyed and blank faced the entire time; he looks miserable.

So Bruce tries to host more parties; if only so that he can talk to Danny alone. Vlad seems all too happy to attend, toting Danny along like a ribbon, and on the dot every hour, Danny slips away to somewhere to hide. Bruce appears twenty minutes later.

"I was looking into your godfather's company," he says one night, trying to think of more things to say. Some nights all they do is sit in silence. "Some of my shareholders were thinking of partnering up--"

"Don't."

He stops. Danny hardly says a word to him, he doesn't even look at him -- he's sitting on the ground, his head in his knees. Like he's trying to hide from the world. But he's looking, blue eyes piercing up at Bruce.

Bruce tilts his head, practiced puppy-like. "Pardon?"

"Don't." Danny says, strongly. "Don't make any deals with Vlad."

It's the most words Danny's spoken to him, and there's a look in his eyes like a candle finding its spark. Something hard. Bruce presses further, "And why is that?"

The spark flutters, and flushes out. Danny blinks like he's coming out of a trance, and slumps back into himself. "Just don't."

Bruce stares at him, thoughtful, before looking away. "Alright. I won't."

And they fall back into silence.

Danny, when he leaves, turns to look at Bruce, "I mean it." He says; soft like he's telling a secret, "Don't make any deals with him. Don't be alone with him. Don't work with him."

He's scampered away before Bruce can question him further.

(He never planned on working with Vlad Masters and his company; he's done his research. He's seen the misfortune. But nothing ever leads back to him. There's no evidence of anything. But Danny knows something.)

At their next meeting, Danny starts the conversation. It's new, and it's welcomed. He says, cutting through their five minute quiet, that he likes stars. And he doesn't like that he can't see them in Gotham.

Bruce hums in interest, and Danny continues talking. It's as if floodgates had been opened, and as Bruce takes a sip of his wine, it tastes like victory.

("Tucker told me once--") ("Tucker?") ("Oh-- uh, one of my best friends. He's a tech geek. We haven't talked in a while.")

(Danny shut down in his grief -- his friends are worried, but can't reach him. When he goes back to the manor with Vlad, he fishes out his phone and sends them a message.)

(They are ecstatic to hear from him.)

It all culminates until one day, when Danny is leaving to go back inside, that Bruce speaks up. "You know," He says, leaning against the railing. "The manor has many rooms; plenty of space for a guest."

The implication there, hidden between the lines. And Danny is smart, he looks at Bruce with a sharp glean in his eyes, and he nods. "Good to know."

The next time they see each other, Danny has something in his hands. "Can you hold onto something for me?" He asks.

When Bruce agrees, Danny places a pearl into his palm. or, at least, it's something that looks like a pearl. Because it's cold to the touch; sinking into Bruce's white silk gloves with ease and shimmering like an opal. It moves a little as it settles into his hand, and the moves like its full of liquid.

Bruce has never seen anything like it before, but he does know this; it's not human. "What is it?" He asks, and Danny looks uncomfortable.

"I can't tell you that." He says, shifting on his foot like he's scared of someone seeing it. "But please be careful with it. Treat it like it's extremely fragile."

When Bruce gets home, he puts it in an empty ring box and hides the box in the cave. He tries researching into what it is. he can't find anything concrete.

Everything comes to a head one day when Danny appears at the manor's doorstep one evening, soaking wet in the rain, and bleeding from the side.

He couldn't go to #them because he didn't wanna put them in danger via Vlad. #oh that thing he handed Bruce? Yeah that's his ghost core. I have a headcanon (that isnt always applied) that ghosts can take their cores #out of their bodies at will and painlessly and without issue. and its common practice actually to do so bc they can be a not insignificant #distance away from said core before problems start to act up. and its common for ghosts to leave their physical cores at their lairs for #safekeeping because as long as the physical core is fine: so is the ghost. they can reform if their body gets destroyed. it also acts as a #fast travel sometimes. where they can reform at their core in an instant. its not inspired in the slightest by SU but i do see the overlap #most cores are pretty small for safety sake: its harder to hit if its small. and they're pr resilient too but its better to be safe than #sorry. so yeah. danny essentially gave bruce the physical embodiment of his soul and indirectly said #'if anything happens to me at least i'll be safe with you' #danny doesn't know he's batman btw #starry rambles. #was gonna go into danny becoming a vigilante beside bruce but im sleeeepy so i'll do that in a reblog. he's gonna go by nightingale if #anyone is interested. stereotypical but to be frank it is a *good* name imo. has a good amount of syllables and consonants to it #and the bird theme. and since its part of an ancestral name it has even more backing for it being bird-y without being meta

I just think Chuuya deserves to snap for this arc. Crumble under his unaddressed trauma. Be evil for a little while. Make Dazai face some consequences for a change. A little corruption arc, if you will.

#yes i'm evil sometimes. it comes and goes. #fyi i have a lot of thoughts about the prison break arc and i agree that dazai *thinks* he's prepared to sacrifice chuuya to get fyodor #he didn't know chuuya would be there but he already had his plan in motion and he can't stop now can he #but i also want this to be the start of skk's make-up arc. do you see my problem. #i often say chuuya gives dazai too much credit (like everyone else) for how much he schemes and knows #but. maybe dazai thinks chuuya is more resilient than he is. maybe chuuya can break. ever thought of that one dazai. #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd fanart #bsd dazai #bsd chuuya #bsd dazai osamu #bsd nakahara chuuya #skk #soukoku #bsd manga spoilers #nawy's art #posting this now is taking a shot in the dark but i am prepared for the potential consequences #i was supposed to post this much earlier but i got covid OUT OF NOWHERE so

Can we get some examples of dumb shit the boys get into in your rlgl au? Some examples of yn have to save the dummies?

Lets see:

Filling the dishwasher with a full bottle of dish soap because they ran out of the actual dishwasher detergent (yes they have dishes because they are able to eat, dont get anything out of it though apart from feeling and some form of taste and having to clean out the compartment in their chest after, which is a hastle)

Bringing a ferral racoon into the flat because it looked cute.... Y/N got bitten and had to get shots after this

Waking Y/N at 3am to ask them to fix Moons hat after they ripped it in a petty squabble

genuine question: where in the monty cutscene thing (with all the cardboard cutouts & everything) does it reveal that monty became the band's bass player because he killed bonnie?

i've heard a lot of people saying "bonnie giving monty his guitar and retiring is a cover up for what actually happened" and that's totally understandable!!! but that on its own doesn't say it was monty who got rid of him, just that he took bonnie's place in the band. it doesn't tell you what actually *did* happen.

i've seen so many people saying that scene revealed that it really was monty's fault, but i genuinely don't understand why?? if anybody has an answer please let me know i'm so confused

#i'm on team 'monty looks up to bonnie and was honored to take his position in the band when bonnie disappeared but monty didn't cause it' #at least that's my takeaway from it #we don't ever really get confirmation that monty dislikes bonnie in the first place!! all we know is bonnie disappeared in gator golf and+ #monty just so happened to end up the bass player bc he wasn't already playing an instrument #and ppl say 'but monty has the claws' yeah the ones he doesn't get until he BECOMES BASS PLAYER???? aka AFTER bonnie disappears? #i don't think the claws could've been enough to decommission bonnie anyway. these animatronics are fucking RESILIENT #and another argument is 'he hates freddy so he went after his closest friend' but. why wouldn't he simply go after freddy??? #fnaf security breach #security breach ruin #fnaf ruin #security breach ruin spoilers #fnaf ruin spoilers #ruin spoilers #glamrock bonnie #monty gator #montgomery gator #security breach monty #idk if this comes off as passive aggressive or not but i AM genuinely asking

tough pill i have to swallow is realizing that “getting better” doesn’t mean “getting to do more things,” getting better for me means taking better initiative in protecting myself. and THAT means making sure i do LESS things

#sounds kinda obvious but i only just realized it lmao #feels like i have to grieve a lot of my goals now but no one said the healing process would be easy #danbles #and for anyone else that has a disability that prevents them from doing smth #or trauma that makes certain triggers limit their opportunities #or neurotypes that make it harder for them to love smth like they used to #or whatever else #i don’t want to make it sound like you have to give up on the things that make you happy #I’M certainly not going to #but a huge value of mine has always been experiencing everything life had to offer #and everytime that backfires (whether it’s burnout; triggering a flashback; triggering an episode; putting strain on my body; etc) #i always just thought to myself ‘it was bad timing’ or ‘i haven’t gotten better yet’ bc the endgoal was to always get to that point where #i could experience it. i want to try new things all the time. i want to feel normal and be included in everything #but if smth keeps Making Me Feel Bad then maybe there isn’t a version of myself that can take it on #it’s not resilience to put yourself in harm’s way #idk how well i’ll be able to put this into practice tbh. i rly rly like exploring different experiences #even negative ones are valuable to me #but the least i can do for myself is recognize that i might not always be the problem #maybe i’ve already hit the limit on all the self-work i can do. maybe it’s the environment or situation itself that’s the problem #fuuck guys ​i feel like i’m going thru a stage of grief here why is this shit so hard 💀

also can you draw him getting his head cut off

obvious tw for decapitation below the cut,, dont want to jumpscare people who dont want to see this,.,,,

as goofy as it would be for him to drop dead family guy pose style i dont think it would be too wild of a concept for this weirdly resilient bastard of a man to just. walk that off. headless horseman type of stuff,.,,, not even turning to stone stops that roach loser,.,,,

hes PISSED OFF though,.,,, i dont think that losing a head would feel particularly pleasant for. obvious reasons

#tw decapitated head #tw gore #deltarune #rouxls kaard #i think its funny how resilient he is. takes forever to turn to stone and even by the time of giga queen fight hes still not a solid statue #hes an unstoppable force. too bad hes utterly pathetic to actually do anything.

curious why you like jace so much?

i like him because of his contradictions. he's supposed to be rhaenyra's perfect son, her perfect heir and the first step in rhaenyra's ascension, instead he's everything but. he can't ever be rhaenyra's perfect heir and son because of his parentage, something he had no control over and no matter how much he tries he will never overcome it. doesn't matter how much rhaenyra says to him that he is a targaryen, that's all that matters. and jace knows this!!! so making him be painfully self-aware of his shortcomings and his overcompensation and repression make for an interesting character.

he's also angry all the time, moody, he has repressed every emotion that could make him seem less in the eyes of his family and court so when the pot inevitably boils over, it's so explosive. finding out that his life was a lie at such young age and that he was never going to be enough made him overly independent and anxious and annoying to build himself and his family(!) to be the best and in the process, protect them so they will never feel the way he feels.

i find characters who try and try so interesting and i'm not going to say i'm a tragedy enjoyer because i'm too much of a coward to fully embrace it, but the fact it doesn't even matter at the end that jace was such perfect diplomat and commander, good brother, the best heir and prince because he died unceremoniously trying (ha!) to save his little brother. it was never going to be enough. something about futility and the will to transform the world you want to live in etc.

thanks for the question

#ask #anonymous #jacaerys velaryon #i just think. that people who think jace is boring and indistinguishable from the other boys are not really looking. which fair! but at #the end of the day it is jace who is the most prominent of rhaenyra's son. both in the show and in canon. he is her heir and he's the one #who brings half the realm to their side. who takes command when rhaenyra is too sick with grief and daemon is in harrenhal. the one to go #save viserys and the one who hatches the dragonseed plot #& he dies! and it was never enough. he showed himself to be a 'proper' targaryen prince (non derogatory) when it mattered most. and he died #idk man i like him because he's resilient and neurotic and perfect and imperfect and moody and a try-hard and annoying and the only one who #cares about what it means to be a targaryen in a world where the others are killing each other because they are too targaryen

Tell me what u think dazai would be like with a pet (type of pet is your choice whatever u think he’d have 🫶)

i think realistically he'd probably not be the most responsible pet owner... HOWEVER annoying cat owner dazai is kind of dear to my heart. but i also feel like its funnier when the cat in question is atsushi

#all his pets are other people because he cant actually trust himself to take care of something that depends solely on him #ALL that being said i think dazai with some weirdly resistant stall prize goldfish would definitely fit #goldfish singular that is #get him on an arc like that 4chan greentext post about the guy with the shrimp #maybe not to its entire extent but i think him genuinely putting the effort into having a decent set up and food for #a bag goldfish he thought wasn't going to live another week when he first brought it home #i think itd probably make a neat story. something about resilience and self care idk #thats way off topic though yfhgfhfhrrheh #ANYWAY if dazai had a cat fr i think hed be one of those 'it can do no wrong' types. kunikida kun theyd never even hurt a fly !!! #meanwhile hes encouraging them to mess with shit #its the cat to cat communication #aethers asks

[rawliverandgoronspice]

do you interpret the gerudos as having their own royal line? because wouldn't a gerudo male being born be complelty random?

I actually do interpret their understanding of kinghood to be completely unrelated to a biological line!

Everything that follows is 100% my own headcanon and not particularly backed by the games (and what I use in Descant), just to be very clear, but my own HC is that each gerudo has to prove herself regardless of biological origins. Motherhood isn't a hard-bolted down thing, and only refers to who raised you, which could be several people, could be the woman who birthed you or could be literally anyone who claims you as a child --so the tradition goes that the person with authority and responsibilty over you is the one that names you when you are a baby; and this is how motherhood functions, even though the entire tribe gets involved in how the children are raised, protected and cared for.

Fatherhood is *not a thing* in my version of gerudo culture (the OoT one, where hylians and gerudos are kind of at each other's throat), it's not a social role that exists within the culture and fathers are not expected to participate or be meaningful in the child's life whatsoever in any way (and that does apply to gerudo males as well; their "contribution" to the children being born stops the second a woman gets pregnant basically).

So the chieftain-regents, the role of chief and guardian among gerudos, is being passed due to skill and basically a mixture of gerontocracy and democracy who grant titles to the most promising and daring women of the tribes.

When it comes to the kings, the miracle of the birth itself is what counts to calling them as such; but to go from prince, which is a given, to a king, the young boy has to prove himself worthy as well. In my HC, the "Dragmire" surname isn't connected to the mother, as I don't see why gerudos would bother with surnames if they don't care about furthering a bloodline, but as an acknowledgement of Ganondorf's kinghood after his coronation, spiritually connecting him to the heritage of the kings that came before.

I don't know how helpful my answer was haha, but it's my OoT-centric take on it all!

#asks #thoughts #tloz #oot #descant of greatness #gerudos #gerudo #ganondorf #thank you for the ask!!! #basically my take on gerudo culture is: this goddamn polycule (affectionate) #with a strong devotion to the idea of the tribe and its resilience over individual units #which has its good and its bad sides
