mind if I join you? akannis 2011-07-23 05:46 pm UTC (link)

Hi guys, I hope you don't mind if I join you? I'm kind of new (well really new, actually) to the whole fandom thing. Only "discovered" Queer as Folk this spring, but I've watched the whole show a couple of times already. It would be loads of fun to have someone to watch and squee with... Small introduction in case you care: I'm 26, Swedish (which explains how I can have missed QaF until now - it never aired in Sweden). I live in the UK nowadays, though. I've fallen completely and ridiculously in love with the Brian/Justin paring, but I do love the whole show and I like all of the major characters (even if they all have their asshole moments). So anyways, I hope its fine to just join in! /Ann (Reply to this) (Thread)

402 opens in Darren’s apartment qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:06 pm UTC (link)

OMG, poor Darren!! He looks awefull! His arm and foot are in casts. His face is battered, bruised and swollen.His eye looks really gross. Good makeup job!LOL Aww,Justin has brought him some food from the diner.... D: Better not be a parakeet in there, Jane! J: Huh? Hee.... D: Obviously you’re not up on your gay film history.Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?Starting the two greatest bitch goddesses in the history of the human race, Miss Joan Crawford and Miss Bette Davis. ‘Miss Crawford and I neeever got along.’ J: I neeever saw it! *cracks up* D: I suppose there’s no point in even mentioning Esther Blodgett. J: I know that one.It’s A Star is Born, right? D: Oh, thank God!He really is gay! LOLOL J: What are you listening to the doctors for?After they stuffed my brain back in my head, they told me I’d never draw again. :(((( D: Well, do you? J: Yes.For about 15 minutes, then my hand starts to shake. So I use a computer. But the point is - D: You went on! J: Right. So will you. D: You’re so reasonable.I keep hoping when they catch my bashers, they’ll sentence them to life in prison and they’ll get fucked nightly by prisoners with AIDS. J: That’s gruesome! Oh Justin,I dare you to look any cuter. ;-) D: It doesn’t cost anything to dream!When it happened to you, weren’t you angry? J: I tried not to think about it. So we've heard.... D: I can’t stop thinking about it.I see their faces, their boots smashing into me.I even hugged this one guy’s foot to my stomach, hoping it would stop him from kicking me.It didn’t. J: If you’re still holding onto that boot, then you’re still on the ground, taking it.Forget about it. Um, yeah... (Reply to this) (Thread)

At the diner qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:08 pm UTC (link)

Michael's whining about pain from an impacted wisdom tooth makes me want to smack him, but Ben and Deb seem to find it appealing for some odd reason....WUT,he's had all his wisdom teeth out years ago?Ooooooh,it's just a ruse to try to get out of going to the faerie gathering with Emmett. ;-) M: Because I’m a lame-brained doormat who doesn’t know how to say now! You said it, Mikey, not me! LOL B: It’ll only be a couple of days. And now Ben delivers an inspirational mini-lecture on the history of faerie gatherings. B: They’re supposed to be a very empowering and enlightening experience. M: Well,if they’re so empowering and enlightening, why don’t you go? Teehee,yeah Ben, why don't you? LOL B: I have classes.There’s Hunter - anyway, Emmett asked you, not me. Okaaay...... ;-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	E: Whatever happens, the important thing is, I will always always be grateful that your son - your boyfriend - my best pal could be there with me, offering his love and support.

Meanwhile, back at the rehab center qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:12 pm UTC (link)

T: And now it’s time for me to leave with clear eyes and my head held high. I guess that’s what happens when you have a great counselor. And your health insurance runs out. That gets a laugh. Then one of the other patients mutters something. B: What’d you say, Jonathan? J: You’ll be back. T: Sure, for group, as an out-patient. J: I mean back using. And then back here. Woman in group: Jesus, Jonathan, can’t you be positive? J: It doesn’t mean I have to laugh at Billy Crystal here doing his stand-up. It’s not gonna be any different for you than it is for the rest of us. T: You’re wrong. J: You’ll find out soon enough.It’s not the same world you left when you came here. T: I’m gonna be alright.I’ll make sure of it! J: Well, just in case - we’ll leave the light on for ya. What?That was fast!Good for Ted for going back to rehab, but it can’t have been more than a week.Don’t they keep them for at least a month? Well, never mind.I'm distracted by B/J....

Cut to naked Brian and Justin qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:16 pm UTC (link)

Brian is lying on the bed... *drools* Brian is lying on the bed and Justin, fresh from the shower, is toweling himself off... *drooles even more* And now Justin comes over and shakes his wet hair on Brian... *iz dead* And Brian grabs him and pulls him down on the bed. Mmmm.....yes, please! Erm, Ted who?See?TOTALLY distracted. LOL B: You can tell them I’ve just taken a new position.Bye-bye. Hee, yeah... J: I can’t believe you just did that. B: Flipped you on your back? LOL J: Flipped off that headhunter. B: I can do better. J: Doing what? B: Working for myself instead of other people. J: But all your clients turned you down. B: Fuck ‘em. I’ll get others. J: What if you can’t? You’ll be destitute.You’ll have nothing. B: Since when did you turn into a Jewish mother?Or Michael? *giggles* J: You’re just taking an awfully big risk, that’s all. B: Well, what’s one more? Besides, if I don’t do this now, I never will. This entire conversation takes place with Brian lying on top of Justin, which proves that naked B/J and meaningful dialog are not mutually exclusive....and they are soooooo fucking sexy in this scene and Justin looks sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!!! And YAAAAAY, B/J cuddlle time!!! Erm, but don't tell Brian that I said that,ok? ;-D PS: I know others love the hair twisting and, like I said, so do I, but OMG I love the nose rubbing!!!!

From the sublime to the ridiculous: qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:18 pm UTC (link)

Michael and Emmett at the faerie gathering.They’re in the woods.There are lots of naked men wandering around in weird costumes.One of them seems to be wearing Justin’s old angel wings.The scenes are not going to be meticulously recapped.As with the Ben/Michael sex scene in 401, it goes above and beyond the call of duty... LOL E: Something tells me we’re not in Pittsburgh anymore M: Something tells me we’re not on the planet anymore. Yep, that's what I thought too... They’re greeted by a faerie who introduces himself as Periwinkle P: You two must be virgins! E: I haven’t been a virgin since I was 15. P: Well, maybe out there but in here, your life as a faerie has just begun! And my recapping of this storyline has just about ended. YO!! ;-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

Ted is leaving rehab qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:21 pm UTC (link)

Blake, of course is seeing him off.Who else?Seems like Blake is solely responsible for Ted’s newfound sobriety.But let’s not quibble about that.The show already has too damn many characters.The last thing we need is to meet the rest of the rehab staff, right? LOL B: Just between us, around here we refer to Jonathan as D&G. T: Dolce & Gabbana? *cracks up* B: No, doom and gloom. T: He doesn’t bother me. B: That’s good.To be honest, he’s not entirely wrong.A lot of patients do wind up coming back here. T: Not me. B: That’s good.Just remember what we talked about. T: Give myself time to adjust. B: Not just you, but people in you life are gonna need some time, too. Blake is right!! Ted walks over the threshold of the rest of his life.... (Reply to this) (Thread)

Cut to Cynthia, Brian and Justin at the loft qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:24 pm UTC (link)

Note: Back in the days when this ep aired for the very first time this scene was a fanfic writers dream!Just about everybody loved (and still loves) Cynthia and wanted to see more of her in S4. However...Brian just has to land a big client so he can pay her salary (not to mention his own). C: Recognize this? B: Yes. Remsen Pharmaceutical account.My last campaign. J: Before the old warrior was unceremoniously escorted from the building, without so much as a ballpoint pen. Aww,Brian mouths the words along with him and I LOOOOVE IT!! C: So what does this magic pill do? B: Well, it’s guaranteed to turn you into a hottie. You can climb the Matterhorn. It also reduces your viral load. What are you showing it to me for? C: Vance is taking your idea and pitching it to Remsen tomorrow. B: Well, he should. He owns it. J: But you thought it up. B: Basic rule of advertising and eternal damnation: once you sell your soul to the Devil, he holds the copyright. One of the best lines of S4... J: So come up with another idea. C: Then you can steal the account from Vance and your former assistant along with it! YEP!!! B: Well that’s an ingenious plan, Cynthia.But what pharmaceutical company is going to trust their wonder weapon to a one-man band working out of his house? J: It’s not the size that matters! B: Have I taught you nothing? And THAT is soooo brian. LOL J: It’s the vision!If you can win this account, then you’ll be back on top. B: For once, I’ll stick to the bottom. Well, we all know that he’s not going to be content on the bottom for long.He’s Brian Kinney, for fuck’s sake! ;-) PS: Justin, peanut butter and bananas? One day your ass is going to be carrying all of that and not in a positive life affirming way. LOL PPS: Me also love how Justin was apparently there either waiting or just to support Brian after his long day pounding the pavement...js (Reply to this) (Thread)

Back at the Cult of Unmentionable Practices qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:26 pm UTC (link)

Emmett and Michael are being fitted for new wardrobes and they wind up looking like something out of Monty Python.WHUT?A couple of guys think Michael is hot?Ok,that's...always in the eye of the beholder, right?And it just shows that this faerie shit damages brain cells. Michael decides this place isn’t so bad after all.He goes off to play naked volleyball (EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!CAN NOT WATCH!!), leaving poor Emmett to mope all by his lonesome.

Cut to the GLC qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:29 pm UTC (link)

Oh look,there's someone new...it’s Cody!He’s angry!I have a feeling he’s always angry! C: You think anyone would dare call a black man a nigger?And try calling an Israeli a kike!Man, they’d blow your ass right off the face of the earth.But they have no prob calling us fags.Why?Because they can. Because they know we’re all sissies, that we’re too chickenshit to do anything.So go on.Sign your petitions and write your letters.And blow your little whistles.But nothing’s going to change until you fight back.Until you learn to say Don’t. Fuck. With. Me! Hm....okaaaay....Justin looks impressed and we all know that this is only the beginning. Note: The vigilante storyline would have been much better in Season 2, of course, but as someone once said, there’s no turning back....Cowlip are doing a good job of setting it up and avoiding character whiplash.First they establish Justin’s bond with Darren, at the same time giving us insight into how Justin copes with his own bashing memories.It comes as no big surprise that he hasn’t dealt with them at all.He’s learned from the Master: don’t think about it and it will (eventually) go away.Only it doesn’t go away.It stays and festers and turns into something ugly.Cody’s tirade awakens Justin’s long-repressed rage....but more to that later. ;-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

Darren’s bashers have been caught! qafmaniac 2011-07-23 06:34 pm UTC (link)

J: It’s all thanks to Darren’s description. D: He must feel relieved. J: More like bloodthirsty. D: Well, we all know there’s nothing more terrifying than a bloodthirsty drag queen! Suddenly, a voice from the not-so-distant past.It’s Ted, fresh out of rehab. Ted: Hey Deb.How about a cup of coffee? Everybody makes a big fuss over him.At first. L: How did it go? T: It was probably the most significant experience of my life.The first day I was there, I was totally resistant.Furious, ashamed, certain I didn’t belong there.The second day, I started accepting help.I went to group and individual sessions at the end , sharing the pain.The third day... D: Honey, I’d love to stay for the whole seven days, but I’ve got a grilled cheese that’s about to turn to cement.Welcome home! L and M, who have been fidgeting and looking at their watches, make their excuses. L: I’ve got to get back to the gallery. M: I’d love to hear more, but Gus is waiting at daycare.Bye! T: OK.Bye. He turns to Justin, who is still there. T: Don’t you have somewhere to be? J: Thanks for reminding me.Welcome back! And Justin leaves.Poor Ted!His return from the dead seems to have caused barely a ripple in his circle of so-called friends.But wait... Brian is sitting at the counter.Um,when did he come in?Well, never mind! Is it possible that he actually has a few words of encouragement for Ted? B: Well, I for one think you’re to be commended. T: Well, thank you, Brian. B: What you’ve accomplished is an amazing achievement. T: I wouldn’t go so far as to - B: To sink so low, to hit bottom with such a resounding thud! (Okay, that’s the Brian we know and love!) T: You should be a guest motivational speaker in rehab. B: Of course, the good news is, once you’ve hit the bottom, you can’t go any lower. So that means there’s only way to go.And that way is....? Rhymes with...? T: Up? Well, as funny as it sounds...it's also the truth!! It’s a cute scene.I love me some Brian and Ted.As snarky as he is, Brian is really the only one who’s being honest and not tiptoeing around the subject.But he wouldn’t, would he?
