IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher

#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’m sorry but Tommy cutting a first date short because it’s not going very well is not the same as Taylor Kelly ditching Buck in the middle of a hookup and dumping him in a parking lot to chase a story for her job!!!

#it has to be said #I could elaborate but I don’t feel like it #and their relationship cannot be compared!!! #I don’t understand why so many people want to turn Buck’s first relationship discovering his bisexuality into something toxic #instead of recognizing it for the beautiful storyline that it is #Tommy has been nothing but kind and understanding and cutting a date short is not inherently evil #anyways #I said I wouldn’t elaborate alsjfhs #if you read this far guess what - I’ve had a few glasses of wine 😌 #and I’m going to go keep writing my bucktommy fic #em rambles #bucktommy

Does anyone else think about how Azriel will react the first time Elain makes food just for him? How he will consider the gesture as a token of her accepting him as her life partner. And that it’s symbolic of a mating bond whether they are or not.

Because I do. 🥹

i love how every perspective in the qsmp is a biased narrator cause guess what?? us as human beings are biased narrators to our own lives. from a story perspective, you can say that they are unreliable narrators or whatever but at the core it is just bias due to each individual character's experiences and worldview.

we, as the audience, are able to take these different perspectives and make a more complete picture of what is going on in the whole of the qsmp. but we are still biased people as the audience. we have povs that we prefer, characters that we are more sympathetic to etc. so there is no such thing as an objective stance on the qsmp. there is no objective right or wrong, just opinions that are generally perceived as more right or wrong.

and if that isn't the most humanizing characteristic of this entire medium and server I don't know what is.

#i am solely an english major that loves talking about how storylines and medium are shaped #its so interesting that there is no one that is 100% objective #there is no one sole author that knows what is coming #everyone is as lost as each other and isn't that a beautiful thing #cause that is what life is #people just trying to live the best life they can in their own perspective #qsmp

Ken immediately shielding this complete stranger when he sees a "scary unmarked black truck car" pull up. My goddamn sweetheart.

#MY SWEET BOY. I FUCKING LOVE YOU SO MUCH #love notes #💕 I'll fight for you!! - ̗̀🐎🏖️✨ ̖́- #barbie movie #ken #in this scene i wanna say in my universe he's shielding me #but in order for the patriarchy storyline to happen 'in canon' in my universe or whatever #i have to leave him alone :( #to make him say 'i miss keri ;_; why wont she spend time with me... i know! ill make barbieland like the real world :)' #'shes from the real world she will love me for it :)' spoiler alert i absolutely dont love the real world #in this scene i am comforting barbie and holding her and then going with her #while ken is like :') oh okay my girlfriend is in a scary unmarked black truck car #a black truck car i'd like to have actually. haha. youre right. they're fine. it's mattel. I KNOW i'll go back to barbieland #and tell the kens what i've learned. OH it's going to be beautiful. HA HAAAAA. BACK TO BARBIELAND #thank you [bows] #if i wasnt trying to make my universe exactly like the movie's #i would be spending so so so much time with ken #wouldnt need to bring patriarchy to barbieland when he has enough attention from me already #i'd lay with him in real grass and real flowers and feel that real sunlight on our skin #and i'd tell him how i hate the real world so much but i don't mind visiting it with him #and he'd ask why i left it. and i'd tell him and he'd hug me tight and he'd say he is so glad we met #GOD i love him so fucking much i have needed him so bad

Yup

We were right with everything

This scene at Shannon's grave? They're adressing her death for the first time in like three seasons.

Right after the conversations Eddie had last ep about not being ready, not wanting to get his heart broken etc

This is to show that Eddie still hasn't quite addressed this trauma and that's why he didn't and couldn't accept anyone new in his life cause he couldn't bear to get his heart broken like this again (and Christopher's as well)

But it'll also lead up to him being ready to deal with it and move forward

It'll show that Shannon will always have a place in their life and hearts but that Eddie will be ready to open up his heart again

He will dare to move forward

And with everything else that happened in s6 and 6b in particular...

It's Buck

Cause he's already there, already part of their life and family

Both Eddie and Chris have shown that they're willing to take the risk to get their hearts broken by loving Buck cause that's what they're already doing.

Eddie is finally healing this particular wound and it'll make room for Buck

And even without Buddie...

This is SUCH beautiful storytelling

#buddie #eddie diaz #christopher diaz #911 on fox #911 spoilers #6x15 #The 911 creators are incredible #What a beautiful and realistic storyline #This is just #My heart is so full #THEY'RE NOT PULLING THEIR PUNCHES THIS SEASON #And I love them for it

“The earth is littered with the ruins of empires that believed they were eternal” but let’s talk why that is an oxymoron. 

To love is to be changed, goes the saying. And when Durin is faced with a drowning friend holding out his arm for salvation, Durin thinks little of his own empire. His father, King, is wary: knows that Middle-Earth and all its variations are landmarked with remnants of empires and old glories fallen to memory and time and knows that, like all else, the elves have a time, the end of which they must eventually meet, no matter how long. It is bitter, as all passings are, and inevitable like all truths. To save the elves would mean their own demise; to risk dwarven lives, to plunge deeper into the depths of the earth with its foreboding reality hanging overhead: to dig further would be turning over the soil of their own graves. And yet, Durin does exactly that. 

To love is to be changed, and who’d have thought a dwarf would defy king and duty for the sake of elves (read: one half-elf who’d taken up a sword to save his life from a troll or two. Some think three and that the sword be a bow, but that is of no matter) and yet it is exactly what Durin does. Cripples his empire to save his friend (in hindsight, it does not fall in a day or two but years do feel like days to elves), and no-one talks much about how yet another ruin fell for love. When mentioning Durin’s great line, it is with the bitter taste of remembering yet another glory of another time brought to its knees. The dwarves pinnacled in their lifetime, it is remarked, but greed is a vicious master and they met ends in the depths of mountains where fire rears its head with a whip and a wizard would meet his match, where even Orcs and fell creatures of the dark cower in fear. But there is no-one to reiterate: Durin dug deep for his friend (read: the entire elven race). Durin’s empire had little gain from elven timber of a Whatnot Sacred Forest or wheat and grain though it turned the interest of dwarven lords, but Durin—loved and loving, against his wishes and better judgment—who rushed under crumbling mines to save his mining subjects from death defies king and country, and digs up precious ore for a most vicious greed: that he should keep his friend, for one more day, and one more lifetime. 

Empires are built to fall: it is the inevitable truth. Someday, whatever day it be, regardless of the cause. Empires believe they are eternal, or so the saying goes, and offers the evidence: ruin littering the earth. Yet all recognize the ruin, and the song such empires once hummed haunt the corridors and abandoned archways. Durin’s line broken, Gil-Galad fallen. Elrond passing into memory.

To love is to be remembered, and Elrond carries the memory of Durin’s hearty laugh and the set of his brow over determined eyes and recognizes its bearing in his descendants. Thorin looks little like his late friend but for the same fire in his eyes, the same secrecy and pride. Elrond is tempted to uncover such secrets if only to see whether the same spluttering indignation exists; Elrond misses it. Durin and his kingdom fall, or rather, it shatters into scattered starlight, yet it still remains. In elven memory, and elven kingdoms, shedding its light onto changed, remembering hearts. 

#elrond and durin #elrond peredhel #the rings of power #durin #the rings of power drabble #look the show was...something but i found that if you kinda plug your mental ears to the fact that it's meant to operate on the same #wavelength as the hobbit and lotr and pretend it's something of it's own then you kind of see something enjoyable. #there were a lot of interesting storylines/messages in the subtext or so i discern #anyways elrond and durin's friendship struck me #because it kind of goes past typical enemies become friend/from enemy countries sort of trope. #especially considering durin pushed for mining mithril just cause elrond asked for him to save his race. #“the dwarves were greedy” yeah but the king shut down the mines because they were dangerous and they had no real need of them #so really mithril was mined for the elves AKA: for Elrond's sake #or at least in the show's narrative i have no clue if this is true in the books I'm yet to read the Sil. #which you know still is a beautiful fact: mithril was dug up for the elves/fast forward to Khazad Dum and the Balrog and yeah.. #it struck a heartstring.

The Mandalorian switched from writing a story following the arc of Ice Age (2002) to writing a story following the arc of Shazam (2019) in-between seasons 2 and 3, and this is why a perfectly satisfying ending to a two season miniseries got ruined.

#the mandalorian #din djarin #grogu #something something if they wanted a huge mandalore-centric storyline this is what tbobf should've been #tbobf shouldn't have been mando chapter 2.5 #it should've been the second book in a duology #look they could've done one or the other #a beautiful story where grogu is desperately searching for the jedi to the exclusion of all other connections and it's HURTING HIM #it's hurting to not be able to let go of this desperate desire to find a family that may or may not even be out there anymore #and ultimately his connections to din allow him to heal enough that he recognizes being a jedi is no longer the right path for him #he goes to luke and it's just.... not the way he thought it would be and THAT'S OKAY #OR #you do a beautiful story where din finds a lost child and bonds with it as he works to return the child to their family #and din builds up more connections along the way via having to help this child #which ultimately helps him heal from something or grow in a certain better direction #but he always is going to let the child go at the end because keeping the child was NEVER THE POINT #but we started with one arc and ended it and then suddenly pivoted into another one so we could just keep it going #so that lovely satisfying ending just... went away #like it never existed #but it wasn't grogu's story to begin with #it was din's #just like ice age wasn't actually about the baby at all #it was about manny #whereas in shazam the story isn't about billy's mother it's about BILLY #mandalorian isn't grogu's story so there's nowhere for him to go now that he's not with the jedi #it's DIN'S STORY but grogu's part in it is over so he's just a money making accessory at this point

#tag games #so many beautiful people in my phone with the same names so i'm using urls as last names now sorry #i have no idea who has wips also so i'm just out here tagging. feel free to kill me for whatever reason #sparing you the details of all the serpent projects for now but those are in there too. don't even worry about it #all our guys have their own slide and sometimes even a second introduction because there's different time periods i work in #the main storyline for the arasaka gang for example runs from 2065 to 2073 which is project cobra #but then some guys from that group of people become relevant again in 2077 and they look vastly different by then #it's a lot of work but it's fun :^) i'm over the 100 slides right now and we're not even close to being halfway there #cassidy only JUST got introduced in all of it and he is the main character of killing era alongside seb WEHJDHJGFDHJGDFG #also i'm showing off the family slides because of the face claims. because they are scratching my brain #the bullet points are incredibly simplified because there's so much more going on with these people but as i said. 100 slides. #if the relationship slide is confusing you wait until you get to see the club bodytalk polycule :( sorry

It's honestly kind of funny when people in Silm fandom go on about how Tolkien's narrative is biased against Fëanor et al., and meanwhile it's like

Tolkien: his name was Curufinwë Fëanáro and he had raven hair and limpid grey eyes like tears (also like my wife, a major fucking hottie) and he was the greatest craftsman of the Elves and a brilliant linguist, he made the Silmarils and invented the tengwar and so many other things, oh and he had a great body and was an incredible warrior, and he and Galadriel were the most amazing of all the Elves in Elf heaven, and he slammed his door in Morgoth's face, and you wouldn't believe what it took to actually defeat him but it was really cool, guys, there were all these Balrogs and

#you know how tolkien talks breathlessly about how amazing and beautiful and cool túrin is while chronicling his disasters? #that's not him being unfairly biased; that's one of his main ways of showing love for a character #the treatment of denethor is also of this type imo—they're very different people but the basic type #of a very cool and powerful and brilliant and beautiful figure who falls tragically but with a weird kind of glamour #is SO much his type #i think that's a large part of why he kept going back to the narn and trying to get it right #and it's part of why the narrative adores fëanor so much (gandalf: imagine. imagine seeing his hands at work O_O) #it's not an uncritical adoration but that's because the character's fuck-ups are part of the appeal in the first place #and yeah i like túrin and denethor a lot more but it's clear that fëanor is treated as the middle-earth apotheosis of that type #anghraine babbles #legendarium fanwank #legendarium blogging #honestly tolkien's treatment of his characters sort of reminds me of my fantastic dm #who will create involved storylines spinning off from dubious player choices rather than #a) just letting them pass or b) aiming to punish them #for him 'your choice has consequences... so many consequences' is fundamentally affectionate #and i feel like tolkien treats his characters similarly tbh
