Celebrity Now!

In August 2022, Milkovich came out as gay in a lengthy Instagram post. In it, he cited his traumatic childhood and homophobic father as factors holding him back from living his truth. Gallagher was one of the many celebrities who commented on Milkovich’s post.

Prompt: ✨celebrity✨

r e a d h e r e

Mickey’s job is the keep the show running. Ian’s job is to remember his lines and not eat in costume.

And they fucking hate each other.

Or do they?

Prepare for trouble, and make it double... For this year's A.U.gust, we have double the prompts, double the fun!

Here's how it'll work:

There are two lists, one of "people" and one of "situations", so to speak. You can choose (or allow fate to choose for you) any amount of themes, and combine them as you wish, or make as many separate fanworks as you want. Ideally though, it was built this way to allow you to mix one prompt from each list, so it's more fun! You can treat this as video game levels:

Very Easy - choose one of the prompts from one of the lists only

Easy - instead of choosing yourself, use one of the randomizers (people or situations) to get a prompt (or have your followers send you prompt asks!)

Medium - choose one prompt from each list and mix them

Hard - choose a prompt from one of the lists, and use the randomizer/asks to get a prompt from the other list

Expert - use the randomizers/asks to get one prompt from each list and mix them

Insane - Use more than two promtps, randomizing at least two of them

Remember that all kinds of fanworks are accepted, as long as they're original (that is, not posted before) — and not AI! There are no requirements for this, and no need to sign up either. And this year, no daily promtps, meaning you can post your fanworks on any say of August.

As always, here's the AO3 collection for those who want to post in it.

This year, I have coffeehouse AU ( ok tea in this case) with boss/ employee and a ghost theme to boot.

High Tea.

Mickey thought he was scoring a new job with the help of his sister, feeding finger sandwiches to little old biddies.

He just needed a damn paycheck.

But he was wrong.

High tea wasn't all the blue-haired crowd.

It was chaos and granola hippie shit and a goddamn microdosed turtle.

He didn't expect to make it a week.

Didn't expect to embrace the weirdos that worked there, visited.

And he sure as fuck didn't expect someone like Ian Gallagher.

Maybe the weed and the redhead could make him stick around.

For good.

@deathclassic oh my this art is chefs kiss

Ian Gallagher, middle child of the Gallagher royal family, has always had to wrestle with the public's perception of him, but when a tragic incident has everyone casting blame his way, he has to deal with the consequences of unveiling a secret deeper than he could ever know. Or merfolk exist and no one ever believed Ian.

Posted for Gallavich Things' A.U.gust prompts in which I randomized both wheels and got Merpeople and Royalty. Two more (at minimum) chapters to come!

r/Ex_Foster

u/M_Aleks • OP: I’m alive today because of what a fellow foster kid said to me back in Chicago in 2002.

TL;DR — a fellow foster kid told me that it’s not a weakness to cry, which was pretty profound considering we were both 7-8 years old back then. I still live by those words today.

Thanks Red, wherever you are now. I owe you one.

His dating life has been in the spotlight ever since, especially after publicly coming out as gay in 2015. From bandmates to questionable music producers, here is a thorough look at Gallagher’s dating history.

Chlorinated Love

It's weird not seeing the guy in the water. Because he's always in the water, every Tuesday and Thursday, without fail.
