Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich on Showtime’s Shameless, also known as Gallavich!
Shameless may be coming to an end after season 11, but it looks like Gallavich is destined for the happily ever after they deserve. Oh and “save the f*cking speech you Pussy.”
**Please note some spoilers are ahead if you are not caught up on the series.**
Over the years of watching Shameless, there have been three couples to really stand the test of time for me: Kev and V, Fiona and Jimmy, and Ian and Mickey. Kev and V continue to keep the laughs coming while being there for one another unconditionally, but after Jimmy’s heartbreaking departure, I was truly worried about the fate of Gallavich.
Fear not, as our favorite couple was reunited in season 9 when Ian was sent to prison. I mean, it must be true love if someone is willing to get thrown in jail for you. After Fiona’s departure at the end of season 9, Ian became a season regular again in season 10, providing us Gallavich fans with a lot of fantastic and swoon-worthy moments.
It seemed like Ian and Mickey transformed into an old married couple while in jail, but luckily they both returned to Southside to start over.
After Ian’s initial hesitation about marrying Mickey, I was slightly worried that we would have to wait too long for them to come to their senses, but thankfully we were given the episode we have dreamed about with season 10 episode 10, “Now Leaving Illinois.”
Ian hilariously attempted to make Mickey jealous, but ended up overhearing Mickey’s new boyfriend, Byron, talking about him behind his back. Ian defended Mickey’s honor and we witnessed a fist fight followed by a romantic proposal…Gallavich style, as Mickey hilariously told Ian to save the speech, agreeing to marry him.
It’s about time, Gallavich!!!!!!
What’s next for Gallavich? It looks like we will get a lot more screen time for these two for the remaining episodes of season 10, as they now have to deal with planning a wedding. I’m sure that this will go smoothly.
Gallavich proves to be a ship that never fails to touch our hearts and souls. They never compromise who they are and they are loyal to one another until the end, reminding us what true love is all about. I can’t wait to see some more crazy adventures with them during the final season of Shameless!
P.S. Shameless writers, if you want to pull out all the stops for the final season, please let Fiona and Jimmy get their happily ever after too! Fingers crossed!
