i fucking love this show. so much. in fact, i will now tag all my qaf posts so i can go back 6 years from now and read them all. it entertains me to read my newbie posts from whatever fandom. i remember for about 6 months i had a notice on my lj saying if you friended me i would write you a fic, because i was so desperate to collect friends.

from now on i will cut for longleggedgit, who says she hasn't seen a lot of the episodes.

hah! emmett caught micheal fucking some random guy on a visit home from living with dr david. then ted and emmett were questioning him, and it turned out micheal and david broke up. and at the end of the episode he went to tell brian and brian was like 'i already knew' because they're such best friends they don't even have to bother telling each other deep stuff, they already know. FUCK YOU DAVID FOR TRYING TO BREAK UP THEIR FRIENDSHIP.

yes i know that brian and justin are the main ship. and i'm also aware that michael and some guy get together and adopt a kid. (thanks kaci for supplying names i've already forgotten). but michael/brian all the way!!!

watching the last episode of season one wasn't so bad. a bit "holy fucking crap", but i had season two sitting on the table next to me and justin was on the cover, so i knew he couldn't be dead. it was the first episode of season two that really killed me. everyone thinking that he didn't care enough about justin to visit when he was really visiting every single night. ouch. even worse was the conversation at the end:


(a bit of background for those curious but not having seen the show. brian danced with justin at prom. justin escorted brian to his car, some jock asshole followed them and beat the shit out of justin. end of season one. season two, you find out justin has brain damage [affected his motor skills], and brian has ptsd from seeing someone he actually loves almost die. at first he has to stay away from justin so he doesn't freak out, then justin tracks him down. they're together again.)

Outside the Taylor Condo, Justin and Brian toss around a whiffle ball. Daphne watches, sitting on the steps with Brian.

Justin: I know they let him go. They don't care about us; they wish we were all dead.

Brian: Look, don't think it's okay just focus on what you're doing.

Justin: Shit! Fuck! Justin curses when his hand seizes up.

Brian: C'mon, you can do it.

Justin: No, I can't.

Brian: Yes, you can. C'mon.

Justin tries one more time and got it.

Daphne: Hey, that one was good, Justin.

Justin: Daph, you're so full of shit.

Justin's mother drives up.

Jen: Hi, honey. Hi, Daphne. [Pause]

Brian: Hello, Mrs.Taylor.

Jen: Hello, Brian.

Brian: We're just tossing the ball.

Jen: I think you should rest, honey.

Justin: I'm not tired.

Jen: I'd like to speek to Brian.

Justin: C'mon, Daph.

Justin and Daphne go inside. Jen and Brian are all alone.

Jen: The day they sent him home from the hospital, the doctor said he'd never seen such a determined patient,and then he asked what it was that made him work so hard.I knew but I didn't tell him - it was you. Every day that you didn't come to see him was more incentive for him to get better so he could get out and he come and see you.Of course, what Justin didn't know, and I didn't tell him, was that you were there, every night. The nurse onduty told me. I want to thank you for that. But he's home now, safe and sound, and there isn't any reason anymore for you to watch over him, so I would like you to leave.And never see him again.

Brian: I care about him.

Jen: It was because of you, he was almost killed. -Forgive me for being so blunt. I've tried to accept him for who he is. To accept your world and his part of it.I've even tried to accept you. And as a result, I nearly lost him. And I don't intend to lose him again. And so,if you really care about him, and I believe you do,you'll do what I ask, and return my son to me.

Brian tries to come up with something to say, but finally just hands her the whiffle ball and walks to his car. He drives away.

i finished watching it at 3.30 am. i stayed in the basement from 3.30 until 4 sobbing. full out. but i couldn't watch the next episode, what if he stayed away? not only would i still be miserable about his choice, it would also be 4.50, and i had to get up at 9.

Ahhh, I remember my first time through QaF :D I'm so glad you're getting such pleasure out of it, it's fucking amazing. I watched all 5 seasons in a month. And I'm always happy to find more Brian/Mikey shippers!!!

i definatly would have a go for that, except season four is still in the mail, and i'm not sure if it'll get here by may 11th. i take off for two weeks then. at the very least i'll have all of 123 watched before i leave, and 45 to watch when i get back.

awww, sammy's proud of my qaf watching! (bet it was the show he watched when he was still unsure about his sexuality. watching brian enough made his libedo strong enough to attack dean. lol)

Brikey is my second OTP. Temmett is my first. But I LOVE Michael/David. Michael lets Brian control him too much, and I loved seeing David stand up to Brian.

And it's Ben that Michael adopts a kid with, and the kid's name is Hunter. LoL. You'll know Ben soon enough.

hee hee, i'm at the part in which ted is hiring emmett to jerk off on camera. i can only imagine the plethora of fics that absolutely fell from the writers fingers when that episode was watched.

the part where brian writes david's name down for stripping and he actually does it, that was awesome. i was all "hah, brian=owned." and then it came to david's ultimatum of me in oregon or brian here. and then i hated him. i don't go for ultimatums (do i sound anything like buffy re:season four?), and i sure as hell don't go for SO's trying to get the other SO to pick them over their best friends. it's happened too many times to me in real life. thank god i have friends that are smart enough to dump the boy/girl instead of the person that really matters.
