For me personally it's sad how it is so much easier to be honest with someone who is stranger, here someone who wasn't the best friend but it made him be easier to confess. Can you send me a pic of witch you has?

I'll take a pic and post it tomorrow

I absolutly love that pic

an other great scene I love is when they all strip down to their underwear.. Brian not liking Teds boxers

He didn't want to tell Michael knowing how he could react. And Justin because as Michael said - he believed he would leave him and it would make him weaker if he would show that he needs him. If he believed that Justin would be gone then it was easier to say nothing - he didn't want him gone but neither he wanted to feel depended on someone. If he was the one who was helping then it was ok, it was comfort zone but showing he was the one needed support was weakness for Brian. And he was ashamed of this too.
It shows us how he felt about himself, how insecure he was and not believed that someone could love him if he was no longer perfect in his own eyes. It's so sad, his all childhood was screaming at him.

Ted was important to him, but he could shout him down if he needed. He wouldn't leave like Justin and he wouldn't cry on his shoulder like Michael with all drama. He was safest and they were working together, he was a boss and Ted wanted this job, so more reasons to be sure he will be quiet.

Thank you!
It's always kind of easy for me to understand people/characters like Brian. He was fuc.ked up, just like me

Brian + Ted = friends forever.

Now I realize that we could see more of their friendship with more seasons. It's so sad

[I'm Brian Kinney, FFS!]

It was there from the beginning, no matter how they each spoke about each other.

[SojournHeart11]

Sometimes they were frenemies, too.

[I'm Brian Kinney, FFS!]

I'm not even really sure why, to this day. Guess they just kind of rubbed each other the wrong way at first.

[♥ Gale's Fragile Beauty ♥]

I really enjoyed their banter. Especially in 120. And then Emmett: "Like father, like son"

Yeah they didn't always speak nicely about each other but I do think they were friends the whole time in a weird sort of way
