Why? Why? Why?

Dec 27, 2003 01:00

I've been asked a lot why I don't like Brian, why I write QAF fanfic if I don't like the show, and how I can write Brian the way I do if I don't like the way he's portrayed on the show. I'm not sure how successfully I can answer those questions, but I'm giving it a stab here ( Read more... )

As usual, you crack me up.

I love Brian, personally--we've talked about this before. You make me want to write a whole essay on why I love Brian but I might be too lazy to actually do it, we'll have to see about that.

Most everything you've said is logical and nails Brian Kinney on the head, which is why I have to wonder my reasons for loving him. I guess it's more fascination, really ... fascination with his motives and how he chooses to express them. And most of all, fascination with his confusion over Justin. I believe he and Justin do want more from each other than sex, and Justin's merely saying the words he thinks Brian wants to hear. I don't believe for a minute that Justin's content with the relationship the way it is, but he'll show Brian that he's just fine with it, thank you very much, if it means Brian will let him be the one in his bed ( ... )

Man, interesting... thought-provoking :)

I have a vague sense that Brian was a destructive force in Michael's life, but Michael's a 30-year old man, so he's responsible for taking care of himself.He doesn't, though, take care of himself. Frankly, at the start of the series Michael and Brian are both pretty damn pathetic in their own ways. Brian is clinging to his outmoded code, and Michael is clinging to his crush. They both function in adult society despite this -- mostly -- but yeah. They're little boys in men's bodies ( ... )

Thought-provoking as always ( ... )

hmmm... wonderfully interesting-- and my first thought was: AMEN! because I pretty much think Brian can be better-- and I don't understand where Justin or Brian is coming from, at all. I don't understand why Justin would accept Brian ALL THE FREAKING TIME-- and I also didn't understand why Justin broke his own rules.

But-- at the same time, even though like you said-- weakness should not be applauded-- but i also think brian and justin are trying to really work on their relationship. Brian was fucked-up and Justin was impressionable, and I guess I keep coming back to the Brian/Justin, because the two keep growing and maturing. Then again, ^_^;;; I wouldn't really know because my resources limit to season 1.

However, like you said, each to her own. I can see where you're coming from, and it comes through wonderfully in your fics. You take the parts you like about Brian, Justin and their relationship and they work beautifully in your fics. ^____^ And I hope your muses keep whispering for a long, long time.
