Oh My Goodness

[lierdumoa]

Why is my fandom so crazy? Why?

On 4.10

Why are people hating on Justin. Why? Because he's talking to Mikey?

Let us set a few things straight. Justin is not mad at Mikey anymore. Brian was never mad at Mikey in the first place. In fact, the only people still mad at Mikey are the crazy, CRAZY fans.

STOP BEING CRAZY!

If Justin wants to talk to Mikey about Brian's erectile disfunction, it's because Mikey is still Brian's oldest friend, and you know what? I'm totally cool with that. I'm sure Brian will be cool with it too as soon as he stops queening over the fact that he has issues getting hard. (BTW I'm positive when Brian said "Don't say anything" he meant "Dont' say anything right now" and not "Don't say anything ever to anyone, OMG!!!!!")

In the end, all will be well. Brian Kinney will fuck again. And when he has problems getting it up, it will be the return of toppy!Justin. Fun, fun for everyone. Syd -- stop doing testicular cancer research. You're going to traumatize yourself and me in the process. That Indian doctor guy assured us in 4.07 that Brian would not lose the ability to fuck, so I'm sure if he's having issues it's at least mostly psychological.

And if you don't trust Indian doctors, trust that neutering Brian would, in effect, neuter the show, and no producer would be that stupid.

That's all I have to say on the subject.

<333 the parallel conversations of Debbie and Emmett at Vic's grave. Cowlip, you have a sick sense of humor.

Mel, I feel so sorry for you. At least you're temporarily happy in your ignorant bliss.

On Anthony -- my first thought? "Ben, what are you thinking?!? Mikey is way better looking then him and his beady eyes!" My second thought? "On my God, tell me I did not just defend Mikey's physical attractiveness."

Ben: OMG someone hates my fic!
Ben: I will never write again!!!!!!!!
...this reminds me of...someone...

Hunter? I still want to shag you. Don't ask me why. I just do.

Debbie, I'm sorry you got rejected. But at least you're not crazy anymore.

Thea. You have really good hair.

Oh, Brian. Why does he have to look so hot when he is angry and in pain? I just want to hug him! And then perhaps molest him a little bit. He's weak -- he probably couldn't stop me.

Emmett, I love you. And you have pretty eyes. And Darren looks very suave in that dark gray shirt.

I love you, tiny Justin!!!

Football guy. Your seduction methods are...well, lucky for you, Emmett's easy.

Also? I really, really love you, tiny Justin!!!!!!!!1!!@!2!!!

STOP BEING CRAZY!

We're just nuts (pun intended), aren't we? LOL

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

Yes. It must be catching.

[joesther.livejournal.com]

I think (if I may be serious for a moment here) that what's really bothering people is the characterization of Justin. Or what they might perceive to be the lack of consistency in his characterization. Granted, I haven't even seen the "next week on..." clip and I'm already leaping to conclusions based on what people have said about it (yes, I know, really immature *G*), but the fact is that a lot of the viewers take this show a bit too seriously at times. I know I do. Probably not a healthy thing, but -- there ya go. It's fact.

Anyway, I can tell you for a fact that I really hate it when I feel like I **know** a character, and all of a sudden, they do something (in canon, no less!) that I can't fathom as reasonable, or IC, at all. *If* Justin does this (and notice, I did say "if"), then it will, in my mind's eye, be completely OOC.

Of course, characterizations are highly subjective. What I might see as OOC might be considered IC in your opinion. This is also something that is important to keep in mind. A television show, like any media, isn't so black and white that it can be construed wholly on a true or false scale. For me, what might be true, might be false for you.

Anyway, thanks for letting me share my thoughts. I know you might think that some of us have gotten carried away, and yes, we might well have, but it's all in the name of fun and entertainment.

I hope. :)

Finally, someone with whom I can agree about 410.

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

Sometimes I look at my friends list, and it hurts my head.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

It hurts my heart. :(

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

That too.

:((

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

Same here

But you must ask yourself, why are people being crazy about the previews? I mean, they do not tell all. They do not show all that lead up to the coversation and such. Justin still loves his Brian even if he does tell Mikey about Brian.

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

Well, that's what I have been asking myself. After all, I didn't go crazy upon seeing the previews.

As far as I can tell, Justin tells Mikey *because* he loves Brian. Mikey knows better how to deal with Brian, so of course Justin wants his take on things.

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

I didn't even think anything of it till people started to talk about it :| I was kinda worried I missed something big, like Justin had dumped brian because he couldn't get it anymore, so Brian was forced to use a strap-on, which justin hates because he wants hotcock and yes.. um.

I would be more surprised if Justin didn't tell mikey. He told mikey about the cancer, something that brian didn't want anyone to know, yet no one got upset over that.

Syd, your brain is so scary.

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

You say the sweetest things :">

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I can only sort of vaguely understand why they're so livid about Justin telling Mikey. It seems totally reasonable to me.

Plus, people are completely jumping to conclusions, you are right. It's very /:)

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

But why was there no anger about Justin telling Mickey about the cancer in the first place? I would be more upset about that... I think. I can't get angry at Tiny Justin and His Cute Shoes. I can't I just can't.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I love his shoes. Anyone wearing that type of shoe is instantly more attractive to me, it's so pathetic.

Yeah, I don't see that there's that vast a difference between the two disclosures.

*sigh*

I can't deal with people today.

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

I almost felt bad that in 409 everyone is all "Why must brian look so hot in pain and in the fetal position??!!?" and I could do was stare at Tiny Justin's little blue shoes :">

There, there. At least you can click people off in fandom/online.

There needs to be a remote for RL, so you can turnoff/delete people.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I am too weak to defriend people. I just take them off my filter, and they never know how much of an asshole I think they are. :-<

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

I'm to weak for that, I just kidna hope they will defriend me first and then I wont feel so bad :|

one day I will grow a back-bone and friends-lock and only friend a sane amount of people.

Like 10

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

the anger has just been reignited elsewhere. 8-X 8-X 8-X 8-X

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

Such a lovely way to do it too :">

I have purged myself. I feel clean again.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I feel rage. Almost excessive rage, probably.

I should get stoned.

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

The rage is good though. Mostly towards the "like, omg, *gasppantmoan* dis is the *orgasms* bezt fic Eva!!2!!2*has babies*"

Pot only makes me more bitchy about things. Drinking though, drinking seems to make me happy and bubbly.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Pot will make me go to sleep. And I don't have any.

If I drink in this mood I will end up leaving semi-abusive messages on random people's voicemails, and not remembering it in the morning.

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

But the random phone calls are half the fun.

It's even funnier when you actually get someone on the line vs voicemail.

Come on, vent. You know you want to *peer pressure*

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

*snicker*

I'm writing fic instead. Not quite as therapeutic, but at least it takes my mind off the whole thing.

[tehshiny.livejournal.com]

STOP BEING CRAZY!
Huh, you say that a lot. ^_^

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

[tehshiny.livejournal.com]

Hamface.

STOP BEING CRAZY!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Given that the whole thing started over a what- 15 to 20 second preview and the Justin part was only like- 3 seconds I can't justify the hate. We don't know what's going to happen or what's even going on, so why worry? It's not like we can change it now.

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

Man, I saw the preview and I was all excited for the upcoming angst. Then I saw the hate on my friends list and was all like -- WTF?!?

I felt I ought to say something.

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

BTW, I love your Hal tongue icon.

[summer-skin.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) Magz is my hero, lol.

[punkdoc.livejournal.com]

I could never hate on Justin in a million years. But sometimes I do hate on C/L a wee bit when they make one of the characters do something OOC.

So I'll just slap the crazy label on my forehead and admit that if C/L has Justin discussing Brian's sexual difficulties with Michael (or anyone, really it has nothing to do with it being Michael), I'll find it OOC and get annoyed.
Same way I got annoyed by Mel the feminist lesbian giving Lindsay the OOC advice to use her feminine wiles on Sam.

I'm too mellow to really flip out about anything. But it is all part of the wonderful, wacky drama of fandom for people to speculate like mad and flip out over eensy weensy clips taken out of context.

[punkdoc.livejournal.com]

Oops -- just wanted to add I haven't looked at my flist recently, so I'm probably talking out of my ass. Too much Justin hate would definitely chap my ass.

[spaggel.livejournal.com]

I love your icon <333

[punkdoc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

Hm. See, I really don't think Justin talking to Michael would be OOC at all. It isn't as if he'd be doing it out of the need to gossip. Chances are, the instant Brian loses a hard on in bed he'll start to withdraw, alienating Justin in the process.

I makes perfect sense to me that Justin will want Michaels advice. After all, the last time Brian withdrew from him and tried to alienate him, Michael was the one who figured out why and helped Justin figure out how to deal with it.



I didn't really think Mel was being out of character either in her advice to Lindsay. She might be a lesbian feminist, but she's a wife and a working mother first. She had to do what she viewed as a compromise of integrity in order to be a good lawyer. It makes sense in my head that she would tell her wife to do the same if it was *that* important to her job. Obviously, Lindsay seemed to think it was that important, because she went through with it.



But then, I tend to disagree most of the time when people say they think something in a show is OOC. It takes a *lot* for me to view something as OOC, because my experience with the world is that even the most predictable people can be unpredictabe when forced to deal with unfamiliar situations, and that people sometimes do weird shit for no good reason.

[punkdoc.livejournal.com]

Don't get me wrong -- for the most part I think QAF is very well-written. But (from my admittedly subjective perspective) every once in awhile the writers have a brainfart in the characterizations the same way they do with the continuity.

However, I do agree with you that in general it is IC for Justin to confide in Michael about Brian.

[hypertwink.livejournal.com]

Football guy aka Drew Boyd aka Matt Battaglia (http://www.mattbattaglia.net/photo_gallery.htm) makes me ravenous...Yum!

[lierdumoa.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. He does seem to be just your type.

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

Too much Justinhate on friendslist. Cannot cope.
