Crazy Reactions and great moments. "I'm dying... to put a little bit of sunshine in your life."
QAF Latest episode reactions. :
1. MICHAEL!!! Nooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I don't care that he's been a whiny little bastard this season, HE CAN'T DIE. He's my baby. He's the first thing I ever loved about QAF. =( And when Brian ran into Babylon and he found Justin, then he was screaming at Emmett, all "EMMETT. WHERE IS MICHAEL?!? WHERE THE FUCK IS HE!?! EMMETT!!" and Emmett was just speechless and all quiet becauase he's found everyone else and he knew Michael was outside... and then we were outside and you saw Michael and his face was all black and covered in blood... I swear my heart nearly stopped. I know he's the main character so technically they can't kill him off... but there's onl;y three episodes left which GIVES PERFECT TIME to kill him off, and WAAAAH PLEASE DON'T LET HIM DIE. And then in the hospital, and Ben was all messed up with his hair in in his face... and Brian was screaming "Take my fucking blood" and they couldn't because he was gay (fucking anti-homo regulations) and then Ben was like, "You can't anyway, you had cancer" and it was so ... heartbreaking, becuase they're the two people who love Michael the most and neither of them could do a thing to help him because they were so sick... seriously, my heart just broke. it really did. AND THEN Debbie... ohhhh my god I just wanted to hug her... Sharon Gless is such an amazing actress... And then in the church, Brian and Deb... and she was like, "You don't want to pray, do you?" And just they way Brian laughed and said "No" and then just smiled and looked up, looking like her was going to cry... gawd, just. perfect. delivery. ever. Because he's Brian Kinney and just because he's him. Just. perfect.
Waaaah why do I predict these things? I knew it'd be one of the main three in a near death (or death) experience, but I had always assumed not Michael. Not him. HE'S THE BABY. (Mentally, not actually... that'd be Justin, duh.) Aww. I've said it before and I'll say it again. BREAKING. MY. HEART.
2. Cyndi Lauper - HELL YEAH. She can sing, she can support gay rights, AND SHE CAN SAVE LIVES! Now if only she'd sung True Colours instead of that awful dancey crap she came out with. I mean, c'mon! True Colours, Gay Pride? Totally would've fit. Although a bomb going off in the middle of a sappy guitar ballad would probably have set a very different scene to a bomb going off in the middle of a rave. HmmmmmMeh.
3. The bomb. Well. Not cool. But I've said it before and I'll say it again... Why does Neighbours and The OC always steal QAF's plotlines? Honestly. But it worked well, and it was just so shocking... good way to come up to the end of the series. I ...spose. Terrorism seems to be an effective ansgt medium, oui? Good for getting everyone back together. Sigh.
4. BRIAN TELLING JUSTIN "I LOVE YOU".
!!!
Ah! Mah! Gad! Ok, I used to always hate Brian/Justin. There were only a few moments when I actually liked them as a couple, even though the whole show kinda revolved around them (if you must know, they were Justin's prom and the whole aftermath [early season 2 and final episode of season 1] and after Brian started recovering from cancer up until Justin got all his marriage fantasys [about episode 10 season 4 to about episode 4 season 5]). BUT! When Brian just ran up to him and grabbed him and was like, "I was so fucking scared. I just kept saying not him, please not him." my heart, you guessed it, broke. And the, he just held him and held him and then barely whispered it in his ear... it was a moment. And then Justin looks up at him disbelievingly and he looks into Justin's eyes and says it again. And my heart UNBROKE. Because everyone knows it's just such a big thing, something Brian could never say, AND HE DID. Fully. My pulse was racing so hard, I was just ... ah! In that one moment it was, Ah, We like Justin, Justin can Stay. IS LOVE. IT IS LOVE
5. And last bit not least, out favourite Queer Guy, mister Emmett Honeycutt. It was only a little thing, but when he was outside Babylon hugging Drew, and they were both covered in ash and smoke... and yet the whole time I couldn't help noticing that Em was still covered in gold glitter. I have no idea why, but just seeing him, all dirty and broken but still sparkling... that was the clincher. That really did make me cry. Even in the less than metaphorical sense... he still "Lets his flame burn bright" or something crazy like that.
EGADS There was so much more but that's all I can force myself to type. Ohhhh my god. It was such a fucking amazing episode. So real. So.... *shakes*.
And last of all, WOOOOO AUSTRALIA SHOUT OUT!!! When I still thought Brian was going to go to Mardi Gra, I was all "Gale Harold was IN THIS COUNTRY and I was not told?!?!?! Noooo!" because I thought, Hey, he must have come to Aus to film all the Sydney Mardi Gra bits. =/ How wrong I was. But honestly. If he were to come to Australia... you couldn't keep me away from him. =) *sigh*
yeah. End QAF rant (for the say). But can you believe it? Only 3 more episodes ever! Nooooo. I'm about to cry just thinking about it! I don't want it to be over! It's one of the best television shows I've ever seen in my life! Whhyyyyyy?!?
And on a different note, YAY the fourth Harry Potter film comes out in two days!!! Barely contained excitement. =D
Also... Jessumn, I called you and your phone rang off the hook. Why? Hrrrm. I'll call you again later. I need to rant to you again!!!!
And on an entirely, ENTIRELY different note.
Damnit, breo_saighit, must it always be a battle of meme-ing betwixt us? =D Damn you, you know I love it. =P
In your LJ, write 5 things that make you happy (in no particular order) and then tag 5 others to do the same.
1. Hope in the form of a song. I don't know why music speaks to me like it does, but I really don't mind that much. It tends to almost always make me feel better, or at least feel acknowledged.
2. The love of my friends. You guys rock my world and lift me up. The only issue with our friendship is my idiocy and selfishness, and I'm sorry. Keep lovin' me like I love you. Keep needin' me like I need you.
3. Getting just the perfect moments you want (or didn't know you wanted, but were perfect anyway in your fandoms. (for more details, see RE: "I love you" above. =P And in Harry Potter OotP: "Give her hell from us Peeves!" Weasely twins = BEST EXIT EVER. And you know I just can't wait for Harry Potter #7. It's damn time Hermione and Ron got it on!
4. Kind of the same as number one, but MUSIC MUSIC MELODYS AND HARMONYS, HIGHS AND LOWS, All the emotions and wonder that music embodies.
5. Self-Acceptance. I've got a long way to go, but I'm already soaring with some of the things I've done and become for myself.
The instructions: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to...
1. 'I Am What I Am' from the musical La Cage Aux Folles George Hearn's delivery is just so perfect and he just soars in this song. He was well deserving of the Tony he won for this. And singing this song, just throwing off all cares and singing your heart out to it... well, the title says it all, I AM WHAT I AM. It's about being who you are, and not caring. It's fantastic.
2. 'Wonderful Life' by Tina Cousins. (Yes Kitty, I broke down and downloaded it! I couln't help myself! YOU MADE ME!!!) It's just beautiful, strong, and accepting kind of song. And Tina has such a clear, haunting voice.
3. 'Wonderwall' cover by Ryan Adams. The original Oasis version is amazing enough, but Ryan Adam's version always always always makes me whimper along. He sings it so gently, and emotively, that it really makes you want to hold someone and have a good long cry.
4. 'Cigarettes Will Kill You' - Ben Lee. Ben Lee rocks, Aussie pride, yo. And this song is... wow. Another one that always make you wanna cry. And I love the cooking / broken heart metaphors. Truly sad. "They swore you'd steal my dream to feed your dream, and then be gone. I wish I could say that everyone was wrong." Tear. Don't worry Ben! I wouldn't ever break your heart like that! Love Me, Ben! *sigh*
5. 'Wonderful' (Radio Edit) by Everclear. This one's a new discovery. I think it's about how something's changed, and everyone's acting like it's ok but you know that it's really not, and it's actually worse than it was before. That's just how I see it. It's a good song because it's got angsty lyrics with a happy, guitar-poppy beat in the back, so it's less whiny and emo and more "we all know life sucks so lets just try as hard as we fucking can to laugh at it and get over it, together". It's a good song. Go download it, NOW.
6. 'Magical Trevor', from... oh, I don't know, I put a link up a few weeks ago. =D Hee. I just love how excited the guy sounds when he's like, "Yeah yeah, yeah! The cow is back!"
7. 'The Shining' by Badly Drawn Boy. Tear. Probably my favourite song ever. I heard it about four times just featured in some random tv shows or films, then finally (just as I first started getting into Queer as Folk) they played it at the end of the episide of QAF season one, episode 19, where Brian's dad died. I was just starting to understand the character realtionships, etc, and this was a really powerful episode. The way the guitar chords come in just as Brian throws the bowling ball, then looks at Michael and grabs him and starts to cry. It was one of the best scene-song matches I've seen in TV and film. But enough about QAF - I've just always, ALWAYS loved this song. It's one of those ones that speaks to everyone. I don't really know what it's about, but I think it's ambiguity is half of it's appeal. To me, it's about acceptance. Acceptance of the loss of a love one, acceptance of a situation, anything. It just... chronicles the journey of acceptance, to me. The clincer to me is the line, "And suddenly you're in love with everything." and it hits me because I know that moment, when you stop asking why and just accept, and suddenly the world seems like such a perfect, ironic place, and you're in love with everything. Jeez, I go on, don't I? But really. I re-fell in love with this song last night because after last nights QAF I really just needed something soppy, so I listened to one of my soppy mix cds, and this was on it. DOWNLOAD THIS SONG NOW. It is the perfect song. This song? Will always help you to deal. Always.
(My god! They're all sappy songs! WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN? Well, all except Magical Trevor. But really, they're all amazingly good soppy songs. I reccommend you owning all of them. Go! Listen!

Lovin' life. XOX.
