Couples - ~*Angela & Brian*~*My So Called Life

~*Am I the only one that shipped these two instead of Jordan and her? I just thought Jordan didn't see how special Angela was but Brian did.

Though I started as a Jordan/Angela shipper who was annoyed by Brian, I have to admit that I then turned into a huge Brian/Angela fan.
I think that Brian deserved Angela more because, out of the two guys, he's the one who really loves her. I loved the look of awe and longing that was on Brian's face everytime Angela was around. The guy's feelings were so obvious that I really felt for him. I think that Brian became my favourite character of the show when I found out how deep his feelings were and saw how hurt he looked everytime Angela indirectly rejected him.
That poem he wrote about Angela for Jordan? Wow. My absolute favourite moment of the series was the very moment Angela found out that Brian was the author of the poem, and how he felt about her. I just like how her face showed all sorts of feelings : surprise, shock, disbelief, and then there was this very tender look she had while looking at him that was to me more significant than any kisses of the world.

~*I am just happy to see one other shipper. I thought I was the only one. I liked Jordan and at first I too was a Jordan/Angela shipper but I hated the way he treated her. He spent so much time being ashamed of his feelings for her instead of seeing who she really is and being proud of being with this smart,proud girl. Thanks for the great pictures!

You're definitely not the only one! I thought everyone shipped Angela/Jordan so I'm glad to see that there are other Angela/Brian fans out there

Brian's feelings were so obvious, poor guy. The poem was awesome and Angela's face after learning that it was Brian who wrote it showed so many emotions like StellaSlight said. One of my favourite scenes was the one where Jordan approached Angela in the hallway and grabbed her hand after she agreed to go somewhere with him. The look on Brian's face was so sad. I just hope there would have been another season, who knows what would have happen between Angela and Brian. Now it's just a sweet memory.

Thanks for the pics, they're great

~*Lazy*~OT.You are a Jarod/Miss Parker shipper too? I have shipped them from the first show. I loved the hints of a real ship we got in the movies. I keep hoping for another one!

OT-Totally! I love them

But, I've only seen season 1&2 then it was cancelled here

But I saw parts of the second movie (you know, the near kiss and all

) but I wish they would air here.

Um, to stay on topic, I wish something would have happened between Angela/Bryan. Anybody know fanlistings/sites?

Although I didn't totally hate Jordan and Angela, I also thought Brian/Angela was way better. They were so cute!

StellaSlight · 06-28-2004, 09:09 PM

I didn't hate Angela/Jordan either. I actually liked the character of Jordan (except when he cheated on Angela) because it was also a deep character, with his flaws and his issues. He was probably the only character who didn't try to hide/deceive about his real feelings and state of mind, because he was just incapable of it : Angela, Brian, Sharon, Rayanne, and especially Ricky were all so meticulous about showing an aspect of themselves that they are not because of various reasons, but Jordan didn't. When he wasn't interested, he didn't beat by the bush and told so and, although he had difficulty to admit it at first, he didn't try to hide his illeteracy problem.
But as weird as it is, I don't think he's the right guy for Angela. He might have been the first who aroused her first teenage turmoil, but he isn't the one who really understand her and know her (he sees her as someone she is not). Nor do I think that he really loves her (I think he needs her more than he loves her).

Unfortunately there must be really few of them, because while browsing the web to look for pics of Angela/Brian, I found pratically nothing.

I'm watching MSCL's reruns on The-N, and so far we're up to the one where A/J are at some party looking for a room to have sex in. So, so far I'm shipping A/J.

I've seen the whole series like 10 times before, so I know what happens. But I still can't believe how in favor I was when I was younger of the A/J pairing.

When the series first aired in '93 (I was in Junior High) I didn't pay all that much attention to it, but I did want A/J together. When MTV aired it for the second time (I was in High School) I was still a die-hard A/J shipper, I wanted them together above everything else; and I came to hate poor Brian. To me he was just wasted air.

Now that I've graduated college I realize that Brian is the perfect guy for Angela. He knows her, he knows her soul. He doesn't like her for what she gives him, but for who she is. I'm watching the series now, and as much as I want to ship A/J (and know they "end up" together) I can't help it when I find myself wishing that things could be changed somehow to get A/B together.

I would've loved to see a kiss between those two. I bet Brian would've been nervous (sp?) as hell, hands sweating and all. And Angela would've been like "WTF?" but wanting it with all of her heart. Of course, I'm thinking that would've happened late S2. Cause where the show ended Angela didn't really reciprocated (sp?) Brian's feelings. I'm not saying that she didn't like him or whatever. I'm just saying that it all took her by surprise. I totally feel that she would've eventually fallen for him, if for nothing else, for the fact that he had fallen for her. [That happens a lot in High School

]

Whoa! This post is longer that I though it was gonna. Anyways, what I want to say is that B/A do make a great couple and I'm really sad that we never got a chance to see them.

When i first started to watch mscl I was a total a/j shipper but towards the final episodes I found myself switching to a b/a shipper. I loved how he adored her/ crushed on her. I still think if they would of went on with the show that they would of eventually got together.

SydneySummers · 07-21-2004, 11:04 PM

~*The last ep is playing this weekend. We get to see Angela realize that Brian wrote the letter. I can't wait to see it!

Philosophist · 07-31-2004, 11:02 PM

i missed when they played the last ep. lol. they'll rerun it again, though, right? i'm glad she realized he wrote it. i think angela really needed to appreciate brian more throughout the series. *shrug*

courtneybangelcakes · 10-10-2009, 05:44 PM

I just started watching the show and I definitely am more for them so far

The love Brian has for Angela is adorable. Like someone said above, I like that Brian always saw why Angela was special.

PiCkLeS4dAwSoN · 10-11-2009, 12:46 AM

I adore Brian/Angela. The letter he wrote her was beyond sweet.

courtneybangelcakes · 10-11-2009, 08:05 PM

I read that before, even though I haven't actually seen it - so romantic
