mickey milkovich

Personality:   Mikhailo Aleksandr Milkovich, known as Mickey is the often serious and violent older brother of Mandy Milkovich and son of Terry Milkovich and Laura Milkovich. He is known as one of the most aggressive neighborhood thugs; having stolen several items from stores, being sent to juvie at an early age, and being raised around copious amounts of weapons in his household. He was first introduced on the show as a thug who terrorized Ian because Mandy accused him of assaulting her. Mickey is a complex character, rapidly displaying many different facets to his personality throughout his appearance. He is violent, but never without reason, even if those justifications range from acceptable to tenuous. He generally seems to have physical violence. He is seemingly self-serving. He at first refuses to engage in anything deeper than a friend with benefits with Ian, but displays surprising tenderness for the boy. He's dropped out of high school, and has admitted himself to be "fucked for life". Despite him announcing to everybody "I'm fucking gay, big ol' mo", he has multiple heterosexual encounters throughout, even post-coming out. This shows his insecurities about his sexuality and the macho image he puts on to hide it. His behavior is equally erratic. He is fairly self-aware. However, he displays a severe inability to express himself. Ian states that "Mickey's emotional IQ is lower than Carl's actual IQ." His contradictions can be attributed to his upbringing: Mickey has been raised with the expectations of the violent nature of the Milkovich family. He truly cares for his family, being close with his sister Mandy Milkovich and jumping to her defense, when she's threatened. After his relationship with Ian was revealed to her, they seemed closer in regards to him. While he initially did not care for his presumed son Yevgeny Milkovich, he came to care for him once he accepted his sexuality and took an active part in his life and being worried when Ian abruptly took him. Mickey also expressed joy in seeing his son again while he incarcerated. Mickey progressively displays care for Ian. It is obvious that Mickey is starting to develop feelings for Ian but is trying not to and fails. It is worth mentioning that his care for Ian extends somewhat to the Gallagher family as a whole. A prime example of his care about the Gallagher family is when Mickey searched for Ian and told him that it was fine if he never wanted to hang out with him, Mickey, again that was fine but told Ian that he needed to call his family and informed him of the chaos that had ensued in his absence. Mickey has encounters with the Gallagher family, in somewhat wholesome but mainly just funny ways. He talks to Carl about drug dealing, and Frank and Mickey talk about guns in one scene. The most iconic example is when Debbie and Mickey team up to get revenge on Sammi for turning in Ian, resulting in a dramatic and hilarious scene. Before Ian dumped Mickey, he asked why Mickey cares about his situation, aka bipolar disorder. Mickey replies it is because “I love you” when Ian asks what that means Mickey tells Ian “It means we take care of each other.” This shows that Mickey’s character has matured emotionally enough that he is more comfortable at expressing himself. Mickey went to great links to reunite with Ian after escaping prison and offered him the chance to come with him to Mexico. However, Ian gets cold feet at the last moment before Mickey crosses the border into Mexico. Ian expresses, "This isn't me anymore," and while Mickey struggles to accept it at first and tries to encourage Ian to come with him, he does pass over the border alone. Before they part ways, Ian finally says "I love you," for what is the first time he's ever said that aloud on screen. Mickey is so distraught he doesn't seem to hear this and pleads with him to "get in the fucking car." Ian gives Mickey the contents of his savings account, which he emptied for them the previous day, and they kiss one last time before Mickey takes off and Ian watches Mickey cross the border then returns to Chicago. Before crossing into Mexico, Mickey casually tells Ian “fuck you Gallagher”, the Milkovich version of a friendly farewell. Despite their relationship apparently ending, Ian and Mickey are better people from having known each other. In Mickey’s case, Ian helped free Mickey’s personality from the chains of the Milkovich’s standards and allow Mickey to truly accept his sexuality and express his emotions better.
