The Ladies of QaF
We've had Brian love posts. We've had Justin love posts. We've had Michael love posts. I think there may have been Emmett love posts here too.
But you know what I'm feeling a need for? Some reminders of why we love the Women of Queer as Folk.
What female character do you love the most?
What do you love about each of the female characters on QaF?
Which mom reminds you most of your own?Debbie?Jennifer?Mel?Linds?Ted's Mom?
Which female character was the hardest for you to come to love, but did eventually?
What else do you have to say about why the women of QaF are made of awesome?
What is your favorite scene with Melanie?Debbie?Lindsay?Daphne?Cynthia?Jennifer?
What is your favorite icon of Deb?Jennifer?Linds?Mel?Daph?Cynthia?
It's a tough call for me too choose which I love the most, in fact it's impossible. But storyline wise i'd go with Jennifer. Her evolution over the course of the show is definitely one of my favorite parts of Queer as Folk. Probably because she reminds me most of my mom too. Well, my mom's got a little Deb in her too, but the way she comes to terms with Justin being gay, and his life, and Brian, etc. all of that reminds me so very much of my relationship over time with my own mom. At the beginning of the series there are so many times when I feel upset with her, it's such a 180 to how I feel about Jennifer at the end of the series when she is just made of awesome.
Lindsay was the character that took the most time for me to warm up to. But at her core she is so caring and concerned for those she loves, how can you help but not come to love her? I think jule1122once put it best when she said, "I do have a complicated relationship with Lindsay. She is probably my least favorite of the main characters, but that doesn't mean she is evil or manipulative. It means I find her flaws the hardest to deal with. She is like a family member I love and want to be happy, but I don't always particularly like." That's such a brilliant way of putting it.
Enough of my thoughts. Now share some of yours. And please do share your favorite pics/icons of the ladies. I don't think I have enough, and I need to steal some of yours!
ETA: Fortunately some people have reminded me of some other favorite ladies, so don't forget to leave your love of them too. Sorry Marianne, Leda and Tracy
