I sincerely applaud every Fiona fan who made it through season 10 and 11 of shameless... me personally I could not do that I'd start experiencing chest pains and withdrawal symptoms because I cant even survive an episode without fi ❤️❤️

i honestly tried once like i attempted to watch season 10 episode 1 but first i looked at the summary, read the words "debbie, self-appointed new head of the family" with my own two eyeballs, and refused to proceed any further cause i felt a little sick....IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE? is every teen mother the next fiona gallagher now?? where is the respect that our queen deserves

SAY IT LOUDER!!!!!!

her face while shes watching her mommy (who was never really a mother) leave... she looks like a baby..a little girl

SHAMELESS, 7x07 - YOU’LL NEVER EVER GET A CHICKEN IN YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE

I hate Debbie Gallagher

"Why are you bragging about raising us?"

YOU DUMB RAPIST BITCH SHE RAISED ALL 5 OF YALL! SHE LOST HER CHILDHOOD AT 9 YEARS OLD! SHE GETS DIFFERENT JOBS JUST TO FUCKING SUPPORT YALL AND MADE TIME FOR YALL AND HERE YOU ARE BITCHING THAT YOU CANT WORK BC YOU STILL HAVE TO MAKE DINNER FOR YOUR ONE CHILD!

YOU CALLED FIONA A BITCH WHEN THE POOR GIRL FINALLY HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN! FUCK OFF YOU CANT EVEN RETURN A PAIR OF EXPENSIVE SHOES THAT YOU FUCKING WASTED THE MONEY FIONA LEFT Y'ALL

I hate that bitch

Look. Yes, some people need tough love to sort their lives out. But that isn't always the answer. At the very least it shouldn't be your first resort. Some people genuinely just need a real friend to help them with actual care and support. It seemed like this was where they were going when Vee confronted Lip and called him out on the fact that they had all gone through crap moments and been supported during those moments.

But nope, for some reason they've decided Lip knows everything, of course he knows how to handle this mess.

The fact that they've all been ignoring Fiona's spiral up to now is making it especially annoying.

And I really really really hate how the show just goes ahead and makes it so Lip is right about the tough love. Because it's such pandering bullshit he does not deserve.

HALL OF SHAME 1x05 | “FIONA: GO FIONA ON THEM”

frank, monica and fiona : the drowning three

this is so cute ... and then he gets a locket to keep a picture of her inside and wear after the cancer gets her

cherry i love you sm but you deserve jail for that one-two punch in the gut honestly

one of the things about having an unstable parent is that it can so easily ruin your future. you want to get out, but getting out takes having agency. it takes the resume and the grades and the stellar community service history.

but you have to choose your battles. you know if you sign up for an after-school activity, it'll be okay for a while, so long as the activity is parent-approved and god-fearing. over time, like all things, it will become an argument (i can't keep carting your ass to these things) or a weapon (talk to me like that again, see if you get to go to practice). sometimes, if you love the thing, it's worth it. but you also know better than to love something: that's how they get you. if you ever actually want something, it will always be the center of their attention. they will never stop threatening you with it. telling you of course i'm a good parent, i came to all of those stupid events.

you learn to balance yourself perfectly. you can either have a social life or you can have hobbies. both of these things will be under constant scrutiny. you spend too much time with her, you should be at home with family is equally paired with you're acting like this because you're addicted to what's on that goddamn screen. you cannot ever actually win, so everything falls within a barter system that you calculate before entering: do you want to learn how to drive? if so, you'll need to give up asking for a new laptop, even though yours died. maybe you can work on a computer at the library. of course, that would mean you'd be allowed to go to the library, which would mean something else has to bleed. nothing ever actually comes free.

and that bitter, horrible irony: you could be literally following their orders and it still isn't pretty. they tell you to get a job; they hate that your job keeps you late and gives you access to actual money. they tell you to do better in school; they say no child of mine needs a tutor. they want you to stop being so morose, don't you know there are people who are really suffering - but they revile the idea you might actually need therapy.

you didn't survive that fall the way other people would. you've seen other people scramble and get their way out, however they could. maybe you were made too-soft: the answer didn't come to you easily. it wasn't quick. it was brutal and nasty. some people even asked you why didn't you just work hard and escape during school? and you felt your head spinning. why didn't you? (they control your financial aid. they control your loan status. they love having that kind of thing). maybe in another life you got diagnosed sooner and got the meds you needed to actually focus and got attention from the right teachers who helped you clear hurdles to get up out of here - but for now? here?

the effort of trying. the effort of not-dying. that kind of effort was absolutely agonizing.

shes only 13-14 here how could anyone hurt this sweet angel..
