![]() ![]() I started with Qilin, though Penalteam was aired a week earlier in France. It's been quite some time after premiere of Qilin and Penalteam, but as I've said before, I was waiting for the French premiere of last four episodes of season 4, since I completely dislike the English dub and I prefer to avoid watching this show in that language if I can. Ian and Mickey, though? Beginning to end. And I think Liam's going to be reasonable and responsible and will focus on other things until he's in his late-30s. I think Carl's going to have a few kids from some relationships, maybe a marriage and divorce in there somewhere, but then will eventually find someone to settle down with for the long haul. I think Debbie's going to struggle with relationships for most of her life. I think Lip and Tami are going to one day part ways but will be good, amicable co-parents. I think they're the only couple who will last until the end. I think they'll have a life that's more stereotypically "American Dream, married with 2.5 kids" than Mickey ever expected to have and one that Ian always hoped to have, but I think they'll also stick to their roots, not afraid to throw down when they have to, willing to do whatever it takes for their family. They deserve a nice, long beach vacation-maybe a belated honeymoon. I hope they get financially comfortable enough that they're able to travel a bit when their parole's over. They'll stay at their West Side apartment for a few years, but I think they'll buy a house eventually, probably South Side, and then they'll obtain a kid they're able to give an incredible life. G: I like to think Ian and Mickey are going to become super successful with their business (though it makes me anxious as hell that they're carrying around weapons while on parole). That's what fanfic's for-to fill in all the gaps and to solve all the problems with canon. Out of all the seasons, s11 sort of feels like one of the only ones that I probably won't spend much time rewatching. I was absolutely banking on the characters coming out at the end, breaking the fourth wall, and telling us to leave, that it was over, and I'm slightly annoyed that they didn't do it because I feel like it would've been such a great touch lol. I just wish the season as a whole had leaned much more into drama rather than comedy, and I ultimately wish that the finale was more like 7x12, which I thought was excellent. Overall, I'm really happy with what it gave us Ian/Mickey wise in the end, the two of them having no doubt the best ending of the bunch. I just really wanted something to look up for him, even though I feel like it definitely will in the future. ![]() And Lip's ending killed me, though I get it. It kind of felt as if at the end of the season, they were just getting to where I wanted them to be all season long. Ian/Mickey's arc alone, they wasted so much time on them fighting that all the actual serious, emotional stuff that hit later in the season felt rushed and like it wasn't properly resolved. And overall, I just really wish the season had hit the ground running with the types of episodes that started popping up mid-season. I like an open ending, but this was open to the point of making much of the season feel pointless. So the ending of Shameless didn't truly bother me, though I genuinely hated how open everything was left because it feels super lazy. The last episode of Sherlock s4 was bad enough that at first we all thought it was a fake cut after it leaked and we saw it early. I had a mini-breakdown when I reached the end of QAF and Brian and Justin parted ways. G: In general, I have a pretty high tolerance for bad endings due to past experiences. I remain convinced that Ian/Mickey are absolute softies, despite what the series decides to show us. I loved Ian/Mickey dancing and singing together in the bathroom in 11x07, as well as a lot of Ian’s sweet little lines (“Do you wanna make dinner together?” “‘Cause you’re my husband…”) in the most recent episodes because that’s absolutely something my characters would do/say, and it was sort of validating in a way lol. But! I still want to maintain their essential characterizations, even if the context has been shifted, allowing them to develop into slightly softer versions of themselves. As a writer who’s writing for a very specific purpose (for the enjoyment of it, to tell happy, sweet stories), I’m a-okay with softening canonical Ian/Mickey in a way that some people who are super loyal to canon interpretations would find a little OOC. So I think my biggest struggle is sometimes writing my fluffy stories and keeping them passably in character.
