honestly are you missing anything though?

omg!!!

so i think that fiona decides to have a big thing for it every year, even though none of them like football all that much (the gallaghers, as we know, are a baseball family [like all the best families are]), bc she sort of likes football but she REALLY likes getting drunk and cheering for shit and hanging out with her family. so she buys as much chips and salsa and beer and gross cheesy meat stuff as they can afford — the cup year, their whole table was covered in bowls of dip, but other years they can only afford like a bag of dorito’s to share among everyone. either way, everyone who’s over like 16 gets pretty drunk, and after the game they all go outside and throw a football around for about two minutes until everyone realizes that it’s fuckign freezing and goes inside again. 

lip always tries to start a betting pool, but because a) nobody ever has any money and b) almost everyone there is in his family and so any exchanges of money will probably actually be meaningless, it’s usually like…his five bucks, whatever money kev got drunk enough to give him, and the change they steal out of frank’s pants. he tends to just keep it all regardless of who wins. he brought karen a few years ago, and made out with her in his room the whole time; he did the same thing with mandy; he thought about bringing amanda this year but felt like it was too weird, felt like she’d be self-conscious, told her he’d maybe catch up with her at her sorority’s superbowl kegger. (he doesn’t, obviously; he sleeps at home, in his old bed, after talking about life with ian on the fire escape for almost an hour, and wakes up confused and hungover and running late for his 10 am biochem class, but it’s the thought that counts.) 

mandy still comes, even though they broke up: ian brings her, and mickey, and yev and svetlana and nika. ian and mickey disappear about halfway through and resurface in the third quarter with their hair messed up, both of them smiling wide, to sprawl out with mandy on the carpet, all of them sitting snuggled together even though mickey would punch anyone who called it that. every now and then they’ll all burst out laughing for no apparent reason. 

yev plays on the floor with liam’s old toys, occasionally bonking amy or gemma on the head. liam sits down there with them, solemnly supervising in between touchdowns, when lip or ian will hoist him up on their shoulders and everyone runs around the house cheering, no matter who scored. (kev used to pick him up sometimes too, but now he has his own babies to pick up, and liam was a little mad about that because kev was the tallest and the most fun to be held by but fiona told him he had to be a big boy, like lip and ian and carl. now that he’s not the littlest anymore, he has to be really nice and share his toys with the new babies and fiona says that someday when they’re a little bigger, him and yev and amy and gemma [he’s a little skeptical about amy and gemma because liam’s not always sure about playing with girls] will have just as much fun as ian and lip and fiona have. when she said that fiona made her mouth twist up like she was sad, and liam kissed her so she would be happy again. she said “i’m not sad, buddy. you’re just growin’ up so fast. i don’t know if i’m ready to think about you having that much fun yet.”)

I sent u all of them so I wouldn’t have to read any of the questions but then I wanted to see ur answers so I had to read ALL of the questions and there were some serious flaws in that logic but also I got to read ur answers to every question :)))))
