I finally finished the first season of Veronica Mars, and, well, it is shiny. I was impressed by it; I'm a little bit in love with Logan and Logan/Veronica, which surprises me because I kind of hated him at the beginning of the season and I could not understand where all the shippiness was coming from. I get it now. Okay. Actually, VM is

I don't see the end of QaF as particularly negative for Brian/Justin... it's not the end by any means. It's left completely open, and quite clear that they love each other and both know that. Justin's only 21, so the end of the season is not the end of anything for him! They will certainly be together in the future, we just don't get to see it (*sniff*).

I'm being deliberately vague cause I don't know how spoiled you are!

[redbrickrose]

I'm pretty spoiled. I haven't seen it, but my interpretation was that is wasn't that bad. Then I kept reading comments from the depressing, disillusioned people. That was a bad idea. As long as it seemes clear they'll be together in the future, I am okay with the ending.

[parallactic]

My take on this is that the emotional distance they had to overcome, from Brian's commitment phobia, Justin's bashing and Pink Posse, makes the distance between Pittsburg and NYC look like nothing. The distance apart will give Brian time to decide that a relationship is what he really wants, and to work out all of his 'OMG I hate relationships', vibes and give Justin room to make up his mind and come into his own because he's still young.

Brian will let go of Justin because his love takes the form of letting people go and not hampering them and their opportunities. Justin will come back to Brian because his love takes the form of hanging on for all he's worth.

...I had no idea I was that schmoopy. *headdesk*

*loves the schmoop*

Brian will let go of Justin because his love takes the form of letting people go and not hampering them and their opportunities. Justin will come back to Brian because his love takes the form of hanging on for all he's worth.

See now, that is exactly what I needed to hear. I think you're totally right, and that I needed to stay away from the negativity. ;)

OMG stop reading all the depressing people! HAHA!

Honestly, I don't think it's that bad. I think given all the shit they've dealt with in the past, and all the emotional walls that have been causing trouble, physical distance is like the least important thing ever.

Also, I think that Justin really needed to get the hell away from Brian for a while. Not because the relationship isn't lovely, but because he's only what, 21? 22? He hasn't had a chance to live and grow and develop and find himself because he's spent so much time trying to be with Brian. My God, when they met he was 17, and since then almost everything he's done has been about Brian in one way or another. But he'll come back, because he's Justin and he always comes back. (Plus he says he will. :p)

[redbrickrose]

See! SEE!! OMG, this is what happens when I don't stay away from the negativity. I didn't think it sounded that bad, but there are people who have actually seen it and when they're response is wailing and gnashing of teeth it makes me very nervous.

Thank you though, and you're right. After everything they've been through, New York to Pittsburg is what? Three, four hours? I used to travel that to go shopping for the day when I lived in NM. *calms down* It's good for Justin to have some time on his own and the fact that Brian doesn't freak the fuck out just proves how far they've come and that he isn't so afraid of being left behind anymore. Okay. Okay.

*hides from the negativity*

[blacksatinrose]

The funny thing is, the more negativity I read the more positive I feel because their opinions are so far from what I've gotten from it and so based on... honestly I feel like mostly based on their personal feelings about long distance relationships as well as the difference between what the ending is and what they were hoping the ending would be.

And NY is about three hours by car, less than an hour and a half by plane, from Pittsburgh. IN FACT, maybe this will help: My mother's boyfriend used to LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA and WORK IN MANHATTAN. Yep, he commuted from PA to NYC literally every day.

So yeah, NOT that big a deal.

[redbrickrose]

Yeah. That's nothing. As I said before, I'm officially reserving judgement, but it sounds to be like it works. I just get nervous when the people who have seen it say that it doesn't.
