i love this moment so much cause i think ian goes through lots of emotions during the whole ‘bashing mickey’ moment that byron is having. at first hes of course taken by surprise to hear that conversation. but as byron keeps complaining ian starts get pissed off at everything that he says, like he can’t believe anyone could ever badmouth mickey like that?

what do they even know about him? about everything he has done and gone through his life? the way he took care and loved ian despite everything they had to go through? who is he to judge him for not being “book” smart or simply not as pretentious as him and his friends?

as byron keeps digging his own grave, ian gets angrier, maybe realising that what the hell, they don’t understand mickey like he does, they won’t love him the way he deserves and ian wants to give that to him, wants to protect him and let him feel loved like he deserves. mickey had been bashed by everyone—

mandy saying mickey doesn’t need to do anything specific to server being beaten, terry wanting to kill him for being who he is, karen and veronica saying he’s dirty, lip saying falling for mickey means anyone else he ends up with will be better, fiona doubting mickey being there for ian after the diagnosis despite witnessing all he has done for him. and then mandy again finding out ian is dating someone else and how that’s an upgrade from mickey.

how mickey being rejected translated to him in ‘ian doesn’t love me enough, i got it it’s fine it is what is’ and the break up in s5 with mickey saying ‘this is it?’ just like he expected that to happen at some point no matter how much he tries he’s never going to be enough for ian.

but that’s not true cause ian did everything with mickey in mind thinking he’s going to be happier without ian and his bipolar but they don’t understand and love mickey the way ian does and no one deserves to be with mickey but ian cause he knows who mickey milkovich really is and he loves him more than anything in the world

A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."

Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.

VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.

NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

whenever i think about the sleepover i think about the fact that ian and mickey were kissing at that point and they probably spent AGES making out because they had the time and it was probably the greatest night of their lives up to that point, and they were finally turning a corner and making progress and they definitely slept in mickey’s bed together and that’s it that’s where it ends NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS AGAIN

A huge number of people are already getting fucked over when it comes to being allowed to cast a vote in the upcoming elections. Let’s try to minimize what that number COULD be as much as possible. It might also be useful to have the number for the ACLU written down (or already in your phone) so you can CALL THEM while still at the polling place and get whatever information is needed in order to see about having the ACLU sue them. Write down names. Get witnesses. Take photos. MAKE IT VERY CLEAR TO THE POLLSTERS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. (Unless you have reason to believe they’re going to be assholes and try to have you arrested for doing so, in which case, be as subtle as possible.)

How to Forgive Yourself

1. Recognise the importance of forgiving yourself. Not forgiving yourself will deplete your energy, and leave you feeling all chewed up inside. It keeps you living in the past instead of living in the present – so it’s hard to make the most of what’s happening today.

2. Recognise the effects of not forgiving yourself. Those negative emotions like shame and regret are also bad for our long term health – as they undermine and damage a healthy immune system.

3. Name the emotions you are struggling with. Simply naming your emotions can help reduce their power. It brings some order and control into our lives again when we’re hit by overwhelming and negative emotions.

4. Reflect on the fact that we all make mistakes, make foolish decisions and act badly at times. It’s part of being human – you’re an imperfect person. We all do stupid things, and say some things that we regret.

5. Try to let go of other people’s expectations. We can’t please everyone – it’s not going to happen. Decide on your own standards, then try to live by them. Also, if you’re looking for approval you’ll never measure up as you’ll always meet someone who will criticise and judge.

6. Practise self-forgiveness. It’s healthy to acknowledge the regrets that you have – but then you need to be willing to let go of the past – and decide to move forwards - and live life differently.

❤️ this poem by Anaïs Nin:

[itlookslikeafreakinllama]

mickey + happiness

alternatively titled “mickey + being around ian”

[itlookslikeafreakinllama]

A coping thought I have is no matter how large my feelings feel, the universe is larger than them. I can walk outside, look up, and see all the room I have to let go.
