BRIAN KINNEY GIVES A SHIT!!!
That has to be one of the cutest B/J scenes ever! And he really does give a shit, doesn’t he? Trying to act all nonchalant and uncaring while being so adorably insecure under the surface. For me, it is easily the most watched-rewound-rewatched B/J scene of the non-sexual variety. I love the part especially where Justin realizes that Brian really does give a shit, when Justin says “You do” for the first time, in that soft and genuinely surprised voice. That Brian is driving Justin to school while they have this conversation is just the cherry on top.
Justin being suspended: First, kudos to Justin for having balls of steel. But that prick of a teacher was such a fucking hypocrite. He made me so angry! Are all private school teachers such conservative, conformist homophobes?
We meet Guillaume who is, at least partly, responsible for Brian giving up his parental rights. I do wonder if Brian would have done it if it wasn’t for Lindsay wanting to marry this guy. Or do you think he really just wanted to get Linds and Mel back together? Another altruistic streak? But that’s a discussion for the next episode.
Different question and one I’m really interested in reading your opinion on: Is Chris Hobbs gay or not? Do you think the writers intended him to be a closeted homosexual or is it just fannish interpretation? Do we know for sure, meaning has Cowlip ever said anything on that matter?

TED
(motioning towards another woman) What about her?
MEL
She reminds me of Lindsay with black hair.
TED
(at watching a guy walk by) Don’t tell me. He reminds you of Lindsay in drag.
JUSTIN
(about coffee)It causes high blood pressure, heart attack, poor sexual performance.
BRIAN
I haven’t had any complaints.
JUSTIN
Not to mention insomnia.
BRIAN
Usually when I’m in my bed, I’m not asleep anyway, so it really doesn’t matter.
TED
That brings back memories. Getting the shit kicked out of you on the playground.
EMMETT
Having lit matches thrown at you in the locker room. Good times.
JUSTIN
Faggot. Cocksucker. Homo. Fudge-packer. Those are a few of the names that I have been called because I’m gay. I’ve also been told that I’m going to hell and that I should die of AIDS. Maybe the same thing has happened to you.

I Parade Myself by The Gang of Four
(If anyone had the complete lyrics to this song, I’d be very happy and grateful.)

Drabble: Enemies
Jesus Fuck. The kid’s got balls!
Standing up to his bully like that; proclaiming to all of Liberty Avenue to hear that he jerked him off, practically outing the asshole. He feels great now, Brian knows, tall and almighty. That’s the thing about power - eventually someone will come along to take it from you. Someone better equipped at the game you’re playing. And now he gave this asshole every reason for revenge.
The delusion of youth: you think you’re immortal. When you’re seventeen, nothing can happen to you.
“Congratulations. You’ve just made yourself a real enemy.”
He hopes he’s wrong.
The End.
