I don't count the time when Brian had cancer because I was in the other room when xie_xie_xie watched that part and it was over really fast. Also Brian was sick and when I'm sick I don't like to be held responsible for my actions even though I'm not as stupid emotionally stunted as Brian.

First in Season Two we have the very sad time when Brian didn't get Justin a kitten and so we had that violin stuff. I don't like violins either, I prefer either bagpipes or just maybe sometimes to have it be quiet around here. When Justin goes to see Ethan in 218 after they bring up the sofa, he meets Ethan's cat and what does he say? This:

Justin: This is a really cool place. (note from typist: also the first words he said to Brian when entering his loft for the first time)

Ethan: Thanks. I found practically everything in it on the street. Including Wolfram.

Justin: Wolfram? Is he your boyfriend?

Ethan: Yeah. You wanna meet him?

Justin: Yeah.

Ethan: Say hello to Wolfram von Eschenbach. (gestures at cat)

Justin: (making the stupid noises people make over kittens, puppies, and small, fluffy pets of all kinds) Oh, Wolfram!

Ethan: Considered by many to be Germany's greatest poet.

Justin: (still in stupid fake voice) That's an awfully fancy name for a pussy.

Ethan: Wagner used his most famous epic, Parzifal, as the basis for his opera.

Justin: (still in stupid voice): I wish I had a cat like you.

Ethan: So get one.

Justin: Yeah. My boyfriend would have a shit fit.

Ethan: The one who doesn't believe in birthdays?

Justin: (Nods) He's got an amazing loft, right out of Architectural Digest. Everything in it's Italian, costs a fortune.

Ethan: Obviously he's not on scholarship?

Justin: No, he's 31. He's got a great job.

Ethan: Oh. An older man.

Justin: Better not let him hear you say that.

Ethan: So you guys live together.

Justin: Yeah.

Ethan: Well, lucky him. He's got a great job, a great place full of beautiful things. (Gestures at Justin.)

I had to take a short break because xie_xie_xie (not her real name) is typing for me and she had to scream and throw something at the wall. She's very emotional.

Then in Season Five, in episode 505 which is very sad because Brian is being stupid emotionally stunted, we have this discussion between Justin and my favorite person on Queer as Folk which is Daphne, when they are babysitting Jenny Rebecca:

Daphne: Oh my god! She's so cute!

Justin: She's practically twice as big already!

Daphne: Ever think about having one?

Justin: Sometimes.

Daphne: So, what's stopping you?

Justin: I'm sorry. Did I forget to mention who I'm living with?

Daphne: Did you ever ask him?

Justin: He won't even get a puppy. Do you have any idea how much ItalianModa furniture costs? Anyway, now's not the time to have a life-altering discussion with him. At least until his syphilis clears up.

It's extremely obvious that whenever Brian doesn't get Justin a kitten or puppy, or it would be fine to get an adult dog or cat from, say, the shelter, where older pets are very much in need of good homes and I join xie_xie_xie (not her real name) in encouraging you to do so, but it would be good if Brian had let Justin have either a cat or dog or possibly went to the shelter and adopted a kitten or found one in an alley like in my "fix it" drabbles because then they'd have worked out all their problems and not had to break up.

And Brian wouldn't have been trying on the black shirts in episode 506 because he would have had cat hair all over it and he'd have been so annoyed at that he'd have gotten distracted from being stupid emotionally stunted. And also, if there was a kitten then the whole horrible discussion about syphilis in 505 wouldn't have happened because kittens still love you even if you have syphilis even if you have sores on you like Justin drew on Rage.

Also, instead of drawing Rage with syphilis he'd have probably given Rage a kitten, possibly a kitten with super-powers, and then everything would have turned out completely different.

Sincerely,

Rebel
