bitches tell you they’re gonna show you the most manipulative, evil, narcissistic shameless character and you expect to see frank gallagher but they pull out a teenage girl

[lovekenney]

“We need more complex female characters” but y’all start screaming when someone mentions them

[echosluvr]

thinking about how soo many of the hated female characters on shameless were just little girls who went through the worst

svetlana - was sold in sexual slavery at 10, bought into a new country through sex, and was violated at the same time mickey was.

debbie - was constantly abandoned by her parents and older sister. groomed by a 20 smth year old and was forgotten until someone needed something of her

fiona- imo she isn't as hated on, but still she was 9 and had to raise herself, her siblings while simukatnouely taking care of frank. she wasn't even in the double digits when she had to take on the role of a caretaker

mandy- was raped by her own dad on multiple occasions and therefore started seeing her body as a tool she could use to get validation . not to mention she wasn't even 20 when Kenyatta started abusing her and she left Chicago

karen- had to take care of her own mother instead of it being the other way around. her own dad humiliated her and had married a guy much older than her which I think could also ground for statutory rape and grooming in her case

tami - we don't know much about her but her mom died when she was really young and then was groomed by her teacher that she thought was giving her the attention she didn't get at home

also this was inspired by @lovekenney 's post

at nine years old fiona was taking care of her siblings and dragging her alcoholic father in from the yard so that he wouldn’t freeze to death, at ten years old svetlana was working street corners for the pimp that her father sold her to, at eleven years old debbie was running a daycare in the summer to help out with the food and bills, at eleven years old karen’s mother stopped leaving the house

Fav Shameless Trope; Lip being attracted to girls who give him shit.

[iangallagherisadeadman]

honestly the character to have the worst, saddest ending in shameless is definitely Karen! I mean, her whole character makes me wants to cry.

She comes from this dysfunctional home, with negligent parents, a sick mom she has to look out for and that doesn't parent her and an absent father, starts her sexual life at like 11yo?, suffers with nymphomaniac, is abandoned by her father, has some rape porn around, gets married with a 30yo something while still a teenager, gets pregnant and has a baby which she didn't want anything with but her mom goes against her wish and expects her to raise him, said mom fucks her now ex husband, goes out of city and theoricly gets all of her money stolen and is almost sex trafficked, comes back and gets run over by a car, got in coma, got raped while in coma by her much older ex husband who's now in a relationship with her mother, wakes up with several brain damage and ends up with a life she could never wish for or be happy living: back with her ex husband, with the baby she didn't wanted, moving to a state she doesn't know and have no one there for her.

I mean what the fuck she became a prisoner in her own body, she didn't had the power to decide for her destiny, sooo fucked up.

Like this? Stfu people acting like Lips some nice guy and not a condescending misogynist pig. Karen is just some girl she's not murdering nobody how is she the devil?

[ravdyluvr]

they were in love

[milkovich-cigarettes]

mandy and karen needed to stop fighting over lip. they should've just kissed tbh that would've solved everything faster

[zmickmilk]

That's the look you give ur ex girlfriend when a man comes between you
