unpopular gallavich opinion! ok yes. ian was right not to go w mickey to Mexico. he had too much to lose and he’d worked too hard to become an emt and get stable just to lose it all (even tho i do wish he hadn’t lied to mickey abt his plan)
BUT in that same vein - imo Mickey shouldn’t have had to give up his freedom in mexico JUST for Ian. idk I don’t love the way it makes his entire arc revolve solely around Ian and doesn’t give him any of the chances to develop that Ian himself got in season 6 & 7.
And like I know this never would’ve happened bc he was a supporting character and they didn’t acc plan on Mickey coming back but I would’ve loved to have seen mickey actually enjoy his life in Mexico, with good friends and maybe have a guy that he really cares about/falls for and has fun with. and he would’ve started to learn how to be free since he’s no longer under his dads thumb and he learns to like himself (there are a few fics like). maybe he even still finds out about the gay jesus stuff and Ian being in prison and decides not leave because he needs to put himself first now.
THEN through external circumstances he ends up in the same place as Ian again (case thrown out, sick family, idk), maybe in prison or after they’re both released. but he has grown and isn’t so willing to just fall back into ians arms. Maybe he doesn’t even want him to know he’s back. Mickey starts to rebuild his relationship with svet and yevgeny. Ian has to deal with the stuff that gets to him in 11x04 but he has to do it himself so maybe he finds a way to be an emt again. and Mickey finds something he’s passionate about. and they BOTH build healthy lives separate from each other, But then they maybe try to be friends and actually talk about shit from the past and what they’ve put each other through. maybe see therapists.
THEN eventually still end up back together because they love each other more than they’ve ever loved anyone else and they are more equipped to deal with stuff. maybe ian has to prove to Mickey that he always loved him and mickey learns to adapt to a Southside where he’s not constantly hiding. They still make some of the mistakes they make in canon but then also some they don’t because they BOTH get to develop with and without each other

I'm not sure if Tumblr is deleting my asks, but i wanted to ask if you could rec Teen Wolf and/or Merlin blogs? I'm sorry for bothering if you have received my previous ask
oh no, did i miss an ask?? @tumblr get ur shit together #rip
anyway, i’m one of the absentminded dashboard scrollers who rarely actually looks at who i’m reblogging from, haha, which tbh makes me a terrible person to ask for recs from. but anyone that i reblog from regularly is good people with quality content!!
almost everything that i reblog for TW (plus more) gets queued up for @teenwolflegacy, so that’s my first real rec. i enjoy @demonzdust, @nighttimemachinery, @alisonhales, @halebaccari, @nyxelestia, @fanfictionfridge, @pale-silver-comb, @twrarepairnetwork, @dylinski, @midnightisquiet, and honestly just a whole bunch more
as for Merlin content, i’ve been running low on content lately because so many of the older blogs i followed have gone inactive T^T but there are still some, and through them you can find more! @ofkingsandlionhearts, @maryluis, @iamthelastdollophead, @dbahh, @iwillinglygivemylifeformerlins, @loopstagirl, @myrrdin-pendragon, @merlocked18, @gueenquinevere, @thekingwillriseagain, and again plenty plenty more
a lot of these are multifandom and personal blogs that post a variety of content, and some overlap with both TW and Merlin, and i’m forgetting OODLES MORE. like i said earlier, click through to some of the people you see me reblogging from! that’s how i usually find new people to follow XD
