Why Do You Break My Heart - Blog Posts

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
