Day 4 - Your favorite QaF season intro episode
This one was the first easy question. \:D/
401
Poor Brian is poor. I heart poor!Brian. Okay, I heart every Brian, but that's not the point. The point is that Justin has his comic money to help Brian. Brian scoffs at the v. thought. He don't need no help! Justin is like this: :|.
J: I thought we were partners.
B: We are.
OMG SO MUCH LOVE. Just the way he says it. Also, I remember when that line first aired and being all "YAY! YAY! PARTNERS! MFEO!" then "...WAITAMINUTE. DUDE REALLY WOULDA LIKED TO HAVE SEEN THAT PARTNER DISCUSSION COWLIP. :|" Of course, then all the gapfiller fic started pouring in and I was like a fat kid with cake.
Brian's still not having it. Lookit Justin so not letting this go. Protective-stubborn!Justin is hot. ♥ Anyway, not letting it go!
Not even when the two go to Babylon for a drink...
...or head into the backroom... (AKA, one of the prettiest shots of Justin evah. *pets*)
OH HEY TODD!
...and still not letting it go. And we learn Brian is a control freak. Duh. (Edited out the hot butt shot that was on the left so PB wouldn't delete the cap, but yeah. Hot butt. I ♥ my gay show!) Justin getting turned around to face the wall right after this... guh. Really wish that scene had played out a bit longer, amirite? Oh, I'm right!
Mikey and Hunter's Excellent Adventure! ♥ I admit there were times Michael annoyed the crap outta me, but this story arc about protecting Hunter at all costs made me love him all over again.
LOOK AT GALE'S HAIR AND HIS LONG NECK AND LIGHT SCRUFF AND DID I MENTION THE HAIR OMFG. And that look at Justin. Guh. Anyway. Yes! Focus, Ree. So then we get the diner scene where Deb confesses that she and Michael talk three times a day.
J: Three?! o.O
B: I know, it explains so much.
Ree:
Ted finally in rehab - with his MFEO!Blake there! ♥ Dude, even Ted had good hair this ep.
Brian getting his job back -- but then refusing to sign the no-compete agreement and laughing in Vance's face. \:D/
Novotny-Bruckner reunion. Ben's grip on Hunter's head and Hunter's *am home* face and Michael's adoring look, awwww. :X
Brian's face after Michael returned the Corvette aldkfjalkj. I die. Also, snazzy-hot suit there, Mr. Kinney.
B: Christ! It’s like that time in the 7th grade when I lent you my brand new ten-speed. You brought it back, the front fender was crushed, my seat was torn--
M: I was hit by a bus!
Ree:
And in the middle of his rant, Michael turning the "shut up now" kiss back on Brian. Hee. Brian's WTFface aldkfja.
B: What was that for?
M: For giving me your wheels for no good reason other than you love me.
Ree: ♥
Brian starting his own agency! How could anyone refuse that mug? I'd hire him. Not for ad work, but still. Heh.
Justin naming Kinnetik! ♥
No reason for this other than Justin's various faces while Em and Brian talk crack me up. :D
The trademark lipbite! With bonus hot outfit + hair = SCORE!
Brian is selling the loft, oh noez! D: I really wish they hadn't cut Justin's hair. :|
J: It’s more than that. It’s where we made love for the first time.
B: That wasn’t love. I just gave you a rimjob and fucked your brains out.
J: It was love to me.
B/J: *sweetest kiss evah*
Ree: *melts*
The hand on neck thing. Oh god. Guh. Guh guh. GUUUUUH.
Then we get our most awesome protective-pro-active!Justin trying to help his partner by letting the cat outta the bag to the girls that Brian = Concerned Citizens for the Truth.
And being less than thrilled by Lindsay's *eh, whatcha gonna do?* type response. This was one of the rare times that Mel was more supportive. Lindsay, this is why I find it hard to like you most times. :|
Srsly. He was pissed. But not beaten!
Hunter creatively getting free of his bitch mom. You go, little man!
Just enjoying a rare moment when Justin is taller than Brian. Even Brian's amused! (Dude. Not my type, but that leather guy in the background is ripped.)
Super Justin to the rescue with the CCftT fundraiser! Lookit Brian's face, awwwww. It's kind of a cross between annoyed, touched, and murderous, lol. (Yeah, okay, I'm sure Lindsay helped with the arrangements, but it was totally Justin's doing. Cos that's how partners roll, yo.)
Justin adores his man, he reallyreally does.
And lookit how he turns on his full beams when Brian finally looks at him, knowing Justin definitely had something to do with this. ♥
J: Now you and half of gay Pittsburgh can sleep soundly in your bed tonight, knowing the loft is still yours.
B: Half of gay Pittsburgh can sleep soundly in their own bed.
BEST THANK YOU EVAH. Something about cheek kisses just makes me weak. The affection and love, it kills me. ♥
HAPPY BOYS ARE HAPPY. OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. :(((((
And then. :( While we're still giddy and flying high, Darren is bashed and left for dead. The last few seconds of this ending -- no music and just street sounds -- are downright eerie and oh so powerful.
And that, friends, is why I love 401. :X
