Both look like major bottoms to me.

First, let me use my brand new warning for this kind of post :



Now you can safely skip this entry *eg*

Also, I know what some of you think, why doesn't she just upload this icon --or the other one-- it would be easier. Well no, it wouldn't. It means I'd have to pick two icons to delete, and my fragile state of mind can't do that. So, photobucket is my friend *nodnod* Besides, it makes me use two icons for this post, which is just dandy *g*

Now, let's talk business.

This episode was, once more, of the good. I know at least two people on my flist who don't agree though, but I'm definitely in the clan of those who loved it. Apart from the Linds/Sam storyline, mind.

Ted is cracking me up a lot these days. I really like seeing him like this, and it's cool having him work with Brian - that, and seeing Brian trust him implicitly. Nice move.

I still don't really know what to think of Emmett/Drew apart that yes, they're hot together, wow. That first scene with them? And right after Brian and Justin's little 'failed' session, too, was of the hot. That's what I call a pounding lol But apart from that, I don't really know.

Now something I know is that I dislike the whole Linds/Sam storyline. I don't really know what CowLip wanted to accomplish with that, but I'm not buying it. It just sounds lame to me. Maybe they wanted to introduce some real bisexuality tendencies, I don't know - I just didn't get into that storyline at all. And considering the drama after Mel cheated on her, I'm even more lost that Lindsay would do the same. They were supposed to have problems in their couple at the time - she can't even use that excuse right now, can she? So I'm waiting to see how it's going to develop, but I'm not interested per se.

Oh wait - something else that just cracked me up. The Chinese couple? They are so the best! lol

Okay, so now that's out of the way so to speak, let's talk about what I loved-loved-loved in that episode *g*

Brian and Debbie : That was one hell of a scene that one. Moving and tender. That's how I like Debbie best with Brian - when she treats him like her son and not like a heartless jerk and a bad influence on Michael. I mean, I'm not saying she never had reasons to treat Brian like shit, but considering how much he counts on her, how much she made up for his cold bitch of a mother, it was always really painful to see Debbie treat Brian him like shit. So in that scene, I got everything I wanted - she worried about him, she fussed, she showed she really cared, that she loved him. That's what love and support is about, thanks Debbie. Wonderful contrast to the other scene with Joan *wince* Also, it was impressive seeing Brian apologising for the words he had after Vic's death. I mean, Brian No Excuses No Apologies No Regrets Kinney was apologising for something he said. And not in jest, not lightly - for real and honestly. Hey, I'm not surprised that the guy has a heart, Brian's biggest organ is his heart - yes, I believe that, even when he's being a jerk - but to see him do it this way was still impressive. Brian, I love you!

Brian and Joan now : Damn, that scene was painful. I cannot believe people like Joan - here's a woman who is telling her son he got cancer because it was God's punishment for being gay?? And that God gave him a second chance to redeem himself and turn straight? OMG! I ached for Brian in the worst way. I mean, yeah I shouldn't have been surprised she pulled something like that, but I didn't imagine she would go that far - I couldn't believe it, I swear. I often say, thank God Brian had Michael and Debbie when he was 14 because I wonder where he would be now if he'd only known his family and nothing else. I mean, Joan disgusts me so much - I have to admire the actress for being so convincing. Brian's come back was of the good - I didn't cheer per se because I felt so bad for him, but I loved what he said to her. You go, Brian! Don't let her bring you down! Also, I love when he screams - he has a really soft and quiet like voice, we don't hear him raise his voice so much when you think of it, I love when he does that. It's also proof of his state of mind when he does - shows how upset he is. Poor guy. Blood never a family made - that could be his motto *hugs him*

And now :

Ben/Michael : My my, Ben finally decided to stop being a jerk and he finally saw the light. Thank you, Ben, I was starting to worry. Not that I really worried though, because I knew you wouldn't let Michael down for too long, but it was longer than what I'm comfortable with, man. Don't do that again, all right? Maybe it was nice seeing Zen Ben be human --I think it's ginalin who said it first-- and do mistakes, but seeing him allowing himself to be fawned over by Anthony wasn't nice *wince* He's not stupid, he knew where it would lead, he didn't walk, he almost ran in a way. I wasn't a happy camper. When he stood Michael and Hunter up to meet Anthony - argh, I wasn't happy with him at all! Bad Ben, bad. Also, I have some conflicting feelings about his refusing to fuck Anthony - I mean, he didn't cheat on Michael and I was relieved, but I can't shake this feeling that he would have done it after all, if it wasn't for Anthony being a bug chaser. I mean, I'm not sure he would have fucked him - but at the same time, I don't have a 100% certitude he wouldn't have. Then again, maybe he would have realised the big mistake he was going to do, he sure didn't feel at ease - I guess we'll never know. Though, something I know, he would have regretted it, oh yeah! Because he does love Michael, there never was any doubt about that, so... Anyway, he came back to him, and that's all that matters.

Speaking of Anthony... those bug chasers really are upsetting yes. I mean, I knew about them, but the way Anthony talked about it - as a conversion and everything, it was pretty frightening. I really don't get his reasoning, but then, who are we to judge, but damn, it just seems so unfair to all those people who does get the virus just because of a stupid mistake or worse yet, because of rape, those who'll regret it for the rest of their lives - and here are some people who actively seek to have it *shudder*

Anyway, let's go back to Ben and Michael - the last scene, when they slow dance together, snuggled close? It KILLED me! Please, warn a girl before you do something like that! I mean, no need to warn me for violence or dark content, but something so romantic and beautiful and tender? Really, I need warnings, I'm a very sensitive girl, I need to know when I'm going to watch such a wonderful scene! They are so beautiful together, so in love *quivering lower lip* It was just too good. That may be one of my favourite Ben/Michael scenes to date *g* There was something powerful about it - I guess because we all knew what had almost happened previously.

Something else I loved during that scene, btw? When Michael shows Ben he knew all along what was happening behind his back. Yeah, Michael isn't stupid nor clueless, guys, sorry to disappoint *eg* I love how he tells Ben without really 'saying' it that he knew, and that everything is okay now. Could I love Michael more, I wonder? *happy sigh*

Wow, did this episode inspire me or what? lol

Okay now, I'm going to hit the flist, and then get ready to leave. Hmm, what book am I going to read today? Decision, decision *g*

But if I skip the entry I won't be able to harass you over the fact that you've totally abandoned Jack and Daniel and Jim and Blair and they're just so totally depressed about it that they've sent out an SOS to their sibling muses asking to be rescued from their mean, mean keeper. ;-)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I haven't totally abandoned my guys, promise - I just don't talk about them in all my entries, is all - never fear, my friend lol

And I wouldn't worry about my Muses either if I were you - they usually have a life of their own, they won't let themselves be deterred by this new addiction of mine. They're little bitches - but strong little bitches *pets them*

Hey, I have to get my little pokes in, once and a while.

As for the muses, they're all Bitches, but with a capital "B," at least around these parts. It's when they get together with other folks muses that all hell tends to break loose.
