From the point of view of a fangirl, Brian Kinney in the first season is undoubtedly a big scumbag. He is cold, promiscuous, always with irony in his mouth, and has a very loose life style. When Justin Taylor showed up, Michael Novotny said, that was the beginning of the story, and they met.
I've been assuming that if Justin hadn't met Brian at the time, he'd probably have been down the road, or step-by-step, dating, coming out. At the beginning, Justin was very simple. He believed in oaths and physical loyalty, although these gradually disappeared in the process of interacting with Brian. But he is firmer than anyone else, loyal to his heart. I saw him turn around for Brian and his parents, drop out of school, hang out in Babylon all day, hang out with Brian in the backroom, take action on his dad for Brian, and even watch his girlfriend Daphne, who has always been by his side to support him and witness him. Not going, she said: "I think you've become a professional homosexual now. But Sunshine has always been Sunshine, although his attitude towards his parents made me feel like he was really an unfilial son at first, and his stalking towards Brian even made his fangirls feel that this was a little bit of a slap in the face, but his smile, in the Babylon, or liberty avenue, a place full of drugs, promiscuity, and indifference, is still a light. He is enthusiastic, he will help Mel and Lidz take care of the children, he goes out in the middle of the night to put up posters against the police chief, spit on the posters (><..), he helps Brian out of the predicament, he realizes his dreams for Michael; he is determined, Even though Brian kept talking to him coldly, he didn't give up, he knew what he needed better than Brian, and he might go down the road in the middle, but no matter how far he went, he would still come back to Brian. Sunshine has always been the perfect lover.
Brian was my favorite character in the whole play. Like the profile says, he's the sexiest beast on liberty avenue. This sexy is not from appearance, but a kind of temperament. Whether it's when he looks back, or when he's flirting and making love, he's emitting this hormone all the time; he's dear Mr. "Just Do Not Love", and he never swears, but as long as it's what he promises , he will definitely do it and do it well; he is also incredibly kind. You may not hear good words from his mouth, but what he does certainly speaks volumes. Especially in the third season, the uncle's charm reached the highest value. He would give up his promising job for the benefit of Liberty Avenue and go home to smoke weed. When Debbie came to him to help find the murderer of the male prostitute, he would pretend not to care and drag Justin to the gaybar to find him. people. When the police indifferently say that there is no evidence, he will try his best to get the evidence (the evidence is so embarrassing...). In the end, the scene where the uncle picked up the hammer and smashed open the door of the backroom was really cool! !
Na~ The main thing we want to sigh is of course the love between Brian and Justin. Most people's bad taste is to like to watch handsome guys and beauties walk down the altar one by one. Of course, our uncle Brian is not exempt, but in the world of queer, this seems to be slightly different. Their love is deviant, contrary to the monogamy that straight advocates, to be loyal. In Brian's words: let the straight people's view of love die! What they need, in this gay fringe world, where straight morality stretches weakly, are obedience to each other's heartfelt loyalty. Justin said: "We can have sex with anyone, but we can't kiss them on the lips, and we can only do it once with everyone, and we have to go home at 3 a.m. every day. Brian remembered by heart, so he never broke his promise. But Justin was still a child at the time, and his obsessive love language ignored Brian's dedication to him. In the end he broke his promise. On that Babylon night of heroes, he kissed his new boyfriend in front of Brian, the violinist with the romantic curly hair all over his body, and Brian just watched him go away, wearing a mask to hide all expressions Dancing on the dance floor. Justin's infidelity was the longest separation since they met. And little Sunshine finally saw Brian's true intentions from a certain distance away from Brian. That cheating experience was perhaps Justin's best growth, as he eventually matured and began to understand that promises that were easily betrayed were far inferior to promises that were never spoken.
Everyone says: In love you have to be yourself. And how many people can do it. Promiscuity, narcissism, maybe not popular, but that's Brian's ego, the way he's always lived. People will mature, and sooner or later Brian will get tired of the sex games. But it's not like that, for Justin, reluctant to give up. I think that was their love theme in season 5. When Brian sold the loft and Babylon and moved to the farm, refused to say goodbye to the handsome guy at the bachelor party, and woke up in the morning saying that he just wanted to just hug Justin, Brian was no longer Brian. He dropped his principles and he said to Justin: I just want to make you happy. Justin said: You should make yourself happy. If the wedding doesn't make us all happy, it's better to cancel it. Justin loves Brian, the one who goes out and fools around but will come home in the end, the one who smiles and greets him when he comes home even if he is having sex, the one who brought him into this gay The Brian who protects the world and protects him is the Brian who never believed in God but would hug him and cry "God! God!" piercingly after he was attacked. He was never willing to let him give up on himself.
They have always been the most important people in each other's hearts. After the Babylon explosion, Brian hugged Justin vigorously, and the can't help but "I love you." is the best interpretation. The uncle tried his best to convince Justin to agree to his marriage proposal the second time, but he couldn't help laughing. They are not straight, they don't need the worldly bondage of marriage, they don't have to let the world prove their love for each other. In the end, Justin left Pittsburgh for New York, and Brian danced alone on the high stage of the old Babylon.
All separation is for the final reunion. When Justin is tired of birds returning home, there must be Brian waiting there.
