Oooh, none of that. There isn't nearly enough VG-talk getting done in the world. ;)

When you put it like that, it is indeed wonderful :) *pets the boyos*

Yes, I've stumbled on both characterisations on fanfic. I see Brian as a first and foremost fascinating fellow; it's impossible not to like him. His flaws are easy to spot, but his charm outweights them. He's much like a small child - he can be manipulative and selfish, but he's true when he smiles and holds you.

And gods, a scene that didn't make it into the movie is one of the best effing things you couldn've said about my writing, I'm really glad. Thank you.

*chuckles* I think we all get protective of Curt, because Brian was such a bloody prick to him, made me want to throw something at my tv. I get the sensation that at first, Brian was in pure awe of Curt, having dreamed about him for so long. It must've taken Curt some time to get to trust Brian, and finally love him. Towards the end, Brian clearly had other priorities that not Curt. They had something intense and special, but there was balance for very little in their relationship. I like to try and explore those times.
