As a qaf(US version) fan, I think we were kind of in an "endgame or not" situation?
In the end of that show B&J called off the wedding and separated in two different cities, but still some believed they would find their way back to each other somehow(I was one of those). Saw some predictions on X about s3 of yr, and I feel the school shutdown theory kind of fits the qaf ending, wilmon might need to deal with a long-distance relationship and we might be left with an open ending.
I didn't like the ending of qaf when I was younger, because I wanted them to be together so bad and didn't want them to repeat the on-and-off pattern that has been seen several times in the show(it was a long ass show).
But I reconciled with it years later, after a few painful break-ups. I started to get the idea that even if a relationship does not work out in the end, it doesn't mean the love is not genuine; life is just complicated. And it's fictional after all, so you can always interpret it as you want. Just make yourself happy.
So I guess I would be okay with an open ending where they have stuff to figure out and there's room for therapeutic fanfics, but a la la land ending would be disappointing (where they end up with someone else and the whole thing is just like Kristina said 'an unfortunate romance').
(in response to my question here)

Hey! Thanks for all the great posts you do. :)
I’m on my first watch of queer as folk, and am obsessed. I just finished season four and didn’t hate it at all, though I did notice a big dip in quality from the first three seasons.
I’ve heard season five is a train wreck. Would you mind sharing your opinions about whether it’s still worth to watch to see these wonderful characters all the way to their canon end, or is it better to avoid the hot mess and just read some really good fanfiction?
I know how it officially ends, so I’ve already come to grips with that final episode, I just am wondering if I would be able to take a whole season of seeing horrible writing or characterization if it really is that bad
omg hiii ☺️
i'm so happy u like my posts!
i've said this before but i wish i cld watch qaf for the first time again.
i think my favorite seasons are the first two so i get it.
i rewatched a few episodes from s5 months ago and i liked it more than i remembered. at least more than s4 i think lol.
i remember not loving the ending at first. just bc it seemed like everyone got a "happy ending" except for brian and in a way justin.
as time has passed, i rly like the open ending and it makes sense for the characters.
i was typing more abt the other characters but then i realized they would be spoilers so i deleted it lol.
i'm still obsessed with the show so i really think u should watch it all. i don’t think it’s that bad. i just think s5 was too short for some of the storylines, they didn’t make sense, or they weren’t needed esp for the final season.
if u do, pls let me know ur thoughts!
i hope u like it! 💗
#britin#queer as folk#qaf#brian is v based in s5 and i kinda live for it#in terms of the finale i rmbr being confused at first as to why they couldn't remain engaged or be long distance while justin went to ny#bc i did take the final scene as a breakup#BUT I LOVE THE ANGST OF THEM BREAKING UP AND THEN GETTING BACK TOGETHER THOUGH#or even the heartbreak of them nvr getting back together#i love people's ideas for 's6' of qaf bc it cld rly be anything#brian kinney#justin taylor#i've forgiven qaf for it's bad moments in general#i also feel like i have a unpopular opinion on one of ted's relationships in s5

I am....emotionally compromised. I just finished Queer as Folk for the first time. I watched the first three seasons in my formative years as a teenager but never finished. Now as and adult I just watch the last two and holy shit. This show....I can’t. SO much about it is so amazing and revolutionary for the time that it came out, but even now. It is so quintessentially queer in so many aspects and lovely in every one of those ways. All of the stories it tells are so important.
And then...and then the ending of Justin and Brian’s relationship. The end of a years long relationship where both people still love each other and are ending it because of the fact that they love each other. I haven’t seen an ending like that since (spoilers) Fleabag which did is so well but it wasn’t as emotionally devastating because it is so short you don’t have the chance to completely fall in love with the characters the way you do in QaF. I just...their fight in the bed half way through the last episode when they both realize that they aren’t going to get married and then holding each other afterwards, I am absolutely obliterated, but it is such a perfect and mature ending for the two of them. God I will be thinking about this show for years and years to come.

I really am my brothers sister because I completely forgot that I came to your blog to tell you something the second I saw Gale’s face. My bad!!
But now to tell you what I came here to say originally. My dumb brother (yes, that is necessary) sprained his ankle. He’s fine but he is now again on bed rest for a few days or whatever and he has crutches which has been proven is a dangerous thing for him to have.. And on top of that he got sick with a fever…again (cus the face palm moment)
Now i know you’re probably wondering what the hell did he do now? Well let me tell you the story that is making the whole family laugh (in a loving way) He took out the trash and kept his door just slightly open to keep the cat inside and as he was trying to sneak back in, Brian took his opportunity and broke free and my brother ran after him and since he was only in slippers and it was raining like crazy he- and I say this with love- ate shit. And in the process of that he also locked himself and the cat outside. In a tank top and shorts.
The good thing is our aunt lives near him so he just went to hers and she took him to the ER and helped break into his house again but the bad thing is that when she took him to the ER, they’re also used of him there bc i wish this was the first time he stupidly injured himself. So the second he walked in they went “oh come on (his name), what did you do now?”
Since he has a ring camera we now have a video of him trying to sneak inside going ‘move, Brian, moooove. Bri, don’t make me use grown up words’ and then Brian escaped and he after him screaming ‘BRIAN YOU LITTLE DICK COME BACK HERE RIGHT NOW! YOU LIL SHIT COME HERE ITS FUCKING RAINI- (this is where he ate shit)’ and you just see darkness and then hear him go ‘oh now you come to me!’ He sent the video to everyone he knew. And ngl it is my favorite thing in the world.
But anyway the reason why I’m even bothering telling you all of this, is to say that this bed rest and him being sick for like two days lead to something that he called extreme boredom and he ended up making an ao3 account. I repeat, the man made an ao3 account. He briefly entertained the idea of tumblr but since he sucks, so he just made an ao3 account. I was actually shocked when he asked me for the invitation and how it works and everything. He has not told me yet if he just wants to use it to leave kudos or what but i guess this is a PSA.
OH NOOOOO!!!! Brother anon!
Listen, I sliced my hand last week in a (failed) attempt to save skincare from falling out of my medicine cabinet and learned that my partner of 17 years gets faint at the sight of blood. So we FaceTimed my father-in-law when it was 1 am his time because he's a former paramedic to determine if I should go to the ER.
I also once sprained my ankle trying to save my coffee while I was mid-trip. Spoiler: I did not save the coffee AND my ankle was fucked.
One time my partner when ass over head tripping over my sister-in-law's dog and it was caught on a nanny-cam and I made it into a gif.
So there's a long history on my end of injuries in dumb ways so I feel empathy for your brother. This is a good lesson that a cat is gonna cat and will definitely sneak out if given the chance.
BROTHER ANON IS ON AO3!! That is incredible! Welcome to the incredible world of fanfiction Brother! My collection of my favorite QAF fics is here Also every other TV show and movie he has ever enjoyed probably has fanfiction on AO3.

2. Queer As Folk: Brian Kinney
This bitch istg...so i watched QAF after it ended and it was during a very difficult/tumultuous/uncertain time of my life...and then having Brian enter my life made it worse 🙃 (in the best possible ways)...He's so annoying, so rude, so slutty, so hurt, so alone...and i just...want to tell him that it's okay to love...okay to feel hurt...okay to reach out...okay to ask for help...no one will think any less of him...'you'll always be young, you'll always be beautiful, you're brian kinney for fuck's sake' okay i'm gonna go cry brb
3. Spirited Away: Haku
He dragon
4. Howl's Moving Castle: Howl and Sophie

5. Kuroshitsuji: Sebastian Michaelis
uuuufffffff.....he's the devil....what more can i say....
6. Goblin: Goblin
okay when eun tak writes 'he has a sad smile' and they ACTUALLY run a montage of his sad smiles...bestie i died....i cried SO MUCH during THAT scene (no spoilers)...he's immortal, he's so done with your shit, he's hurt, he's in pain, he's burdened with life and all you want to do is hold this immortal being and rock him back and forth (also Gong Yoo ssi is just phenomenal...if you haven't watched it then please watch this kdrama)
7. Moon Lovers: Wang So
another hurt man....wow i have a type don't i...it's the 'i can fix/fuck/accept/love him' trope...he was never accepted for who he was, never loved, and it's this lack of familial love in the formative years of his life that fill him with unimaginable rage...and how he still simply moves forward...he achieves a lot later in life (but at what cost uuuffff)...i love the angst....right up my alley...(Lee Joon Gi the actor you are...again please watch this kdrama if you haven't already)
8. Kinnporsche: Kinn Anakinn Theerapanyakul
*waves hand* this entire blog is effectively dedicated to the man...just check my pinned post lol
9. The Untamed: Lan Wangji and Xue Yang
okay...wow...Lan-zhan <333 (i know i'm not supposed to call him that, only one person has the right hehehee)....his stoicism, his no-nonsense persona, his pride, his sophisticated rebellion, his loud and proud declaration of love (and it's not words....it's his actions), his hair, just everything <33 (and the absolute gremlin Wang Yibo portrays him in the live action....boyo!!! it's whiplash y'all hheeehehe...and yibo is my baby btw)

qaf rewatch notes to self, s1
episode... wait where am I again? oh yeah, 1x12, "move it or lose it". wait what is this one about? oh wait-- no, this isn't kip yet. this is brian and mikey.
brian running in a clean loft with mikey's pictures still up; an interesting thought: brian uses exercise to escape feelings of anxiety/depression?
michael's determination he's going to be "too happy with david" really feels a loooooot like justin's protestation he's so happy with ethan, eh oh el
cynthia asking brian about what's going on with michael: she really is a good friend in the small way she can be.
also, brian calling ted and ted being like "what the fuck are you doing calling me?" -- as much as brian is desired by all he really only has like. two friends. poor bastard.
oh jeez, I forgot this is emmett's gay crisis :(
mel calling gus "your son and brian's. I just pay the bills". and mel trying to get lindsay to open up and talk, clearly they're not actually all that well-suited, communication wise. lindsay avoids confrontation like the plague unless she can control it, and mel welcomes it. like, they never actually learned to adapt how to talk to each other
awww. ted trying to be a good friend by asking brian about whether he's talked to michael! and brian being actually genuine (though annoyed) when he says "I told you, he's out of my life and i'm out of his. so would you please shut the fuck up about it?"
it's interesting to see how while Brian almost always deflects emotional conversations with the gang with sarcasm... in the moments when they ask him with genuine concern how he is / what's going on / etc., he does (sometimes) respond with genuineness and openness back. He isn't angry at Ted here and it does feel like Ted understands the "please" is genuine.
also randomly, was Brian drinking something with six marachino cherries stuck in a pineapple?! did he actually order a fruit cocktail? he's playing with.... it's a lemon with marachino cherries, not pineapple. What the actual hell
*guiltily skips Michael and David* I definitely remember thinking when I watched this in 1999, that hal sparks tried his best but was really bad at faking gay chemistry. I mean, sure, the actor that played Dr. Dave probably didn't help butthe two of them are just like. nah
randomly: brian's taken down an alley by a rando right here, a more risky late-night hookup than he'd usually take (also more of a troll than he'd usually fuck). guess there's an alley to cruise by woody's? also: this would be an interesting moment for Something To Happen To Brian if you were doing an AU. (also, is that the same alley / corner where justin blew him in 3x10?)
brian drops by the lesbians' and when he asks "besides, when you think about it what do Mikey and I really have in common?" mel immediately pipes up with, "you're lives?" -- implicitly "you dumbass?" Also, both of them sort of feel sorry for Brian when he says "some things are better left broken". HowEVER, they also look like "can you fucking believe this" about him wanting to play scrabble.
(mel also clearly is looking at lindsay when he says "some things are better left broken", as in "are we at the point where we should give up?" spoilers, mel: yes.)
"how many guys hit on you a night?" "give or take, a hundred and twelve-- I don't know!" as much as brian likes his own company he also doesn't really seem to know how to be alone, here.'
(*skips the anti-gay emmett scene* I can't do it, it's too painful)
aww, sunshine!! first appearance of Justin this whole episode and he's bussing tables like a boss.
this tiny scene with Daphne and Justin is astoundingly good. She's sitting at the liberty diner, hanging out with him while he's on shift because he isn't good at making time for her but she is; she calls him conceited but not in a mean way (true facts, daph, true facts). He's all, "I could fuck practically anyone I wanted," and then when she asks, "So why don't you?", pointing out that he might claim to be All That, he's not taking advantage of it..... and boom, Brian walks in, and all she says is, "nevermind, the answer just walked in the door."
It's pretty clear here that Daphne is getting a little tired of Justin's preening-- and I might infer, also a bit tired of Justin's obsession with Brian? I mean, who could blame her, she's probably the one that's had to listen to it for hours and hours on end. *g* However, she still gives Brian a happy smile because she luvs him too.
So let's talk about how Justin says "what, you actually want to know?" when Brian asks how things are... and then his tentative, casual, "everything's fine". Because Justin doesn't believe brian means it and is just. waiting for him to be mean again. and obviously mid-season 1 Justin isn't really put off by Brian's meanness, he doesn't want to encourage it or give him an opening
And then! Justin's confused face at when Brian says "what are you doing tonight", his little excited, optimistic "really?" and Daphne's tiny little smile!
Then! Then justin realizes the truth, it's about Michael. also Daphne! Daphne is the one that says "you should get them to make up because you love Brian". And Brian's "stay the fuck out of it" at Justin's attempted interference is harsher / angrier than he was at Ted (peut etre because he's more concerned about justin getting involved? peut etre because he knows justin is way less likely to listen to him?)
ice cream kisses! justin is so good to him, cheering him up.
oh my god. "[so you pushed him away, and now he hates you]" "doesn't matter, so long as mikey's happy." and then a season later brian does exactly the same thing to justin. I wonder if Justin ever put the pieces together? brian pushed him toward ethan -- a man he thought would be better for him than he was, even if brian knew the relationship wouldn't last. which is exactly what he did with Michael and David.
okay, in my head I'm going to say yes, yes he did eventually put the pieces together-- note to self for the S4 rewrite, have michael point maybe once he learns about the cancer: that brian pushed justin away to prove his love in a way he's only ever done for michael. because he loves justin that much.
People quote that "I'm onto you" and how Justin stopped being able to read brian in S2 because of trauma. [these are random babble thoughts] and I think that's true, but I think equally true is the fact that the bashing removed justin's ability to believe, without evidence, of brian's love/care. he couldn't believe in it, and brian did nothing to reinforce it. so i'm not sure I'd say he "stopped being onto him", so much as that stopped being important. he saw through brian but it wasn't enough, because he'd changed too fundamentally.
*skips emmett* *skips michael and david*
Mel calling Ted to get brian tf out of their house, hahaha. I mean it's sad, and angsty that Lindsay and brian are talking -- randomly, how great is it that brian doesn't knee-jerk take lindsay's side, he points out that it might actually be lindsay's fault, forcing her to be objective and deal with it.
but mostly, lolol Mel being like "just get him the fuck out of our house!" Because in the ideal AU/canon, Mel might not hate Brian... but no matter what she definitely doesn't like him enough to want him around more than occasionally.
Brian: suggests relationship therapy. mel wants to go to relationship therapy! Lindsay wants to avoid everything. Even if Brian were bi/straight, him and lindsay would be a terrible couple
Randomly: I really love Tracey, I wish she was in more of the show. She's a good person and a much better friend to Michael than most of them.
you know, lindsay's "you expect all of my time and devotion"... there's a lot wrapped up in this, a lot about how her and michael are more poly / less devoted than Brian (and Justin), who's heart is settled on only one person.
Justin doing the right thing-- omfg. "he loves you. he'll never admit it but he does." Justin tells Michael this in 1x12 and a season later Michael repeats this VERY SAME LINE to Justin. "he doesn't believe in love." "you're the exception." and then justin tells him what brian did, to try and get him and david back together. Justin does what DEBBIE SHOULD HAVE. jesus, why is the seventeen year old the most emotionally mature?? (I mean, yeah, it's because he had two relatively loving parents who nurtured and protected him. But.)
"your ward tracked me down. insisted that I take it." "yeah well I'll have to punish him severely". note to self: if you ever do a S1 bdsm AU, maybe use this as the first forays into it?
(god, no wait, self, you are not writing a S1 D/s au.)
and now there's david trying, with michael. I wonder, if the actor for Dr Dave wouldn't have been a shit, would Dave become what Ben did become? meh, whatever, Ben works better because he's less controlling.

Spoilers for the 2022 QAF below
...wow, did they seriously just do the “HIV is punishment for fucking around” storyline? In 2022?
#there are a handful of things the new version does well#multiple characters with disabilities!#both of whom get insanely hot guys#and who don't like each other just because they're disabled#the stuff with ruthie feels authentic and lived-in and like there is absolutely a transwoman in the writers room#but at the same time#everyone is off-white and it never comes up not once#nor does it match any of their family members#and the magical black woman-figure trying to save the broken white boy#and the aforementioned 'he's fucking around because you broke his heart and now he has AIDS and its all your fault!' bullshit#qaf#qaf22

So I don’t know how many Buddie shippers have seen Queer as Folk but there’s a scene at the end of season 1 that the recent stuff with Buddie reminded me of. Though the qaf scene was different in a lot of ways and more traumatic in that it was a hate crime both scenes gave me the same feeling.
That a man was watching helplessly as the person he loved was suddenly attacked and was watching him die (or so it seemed in the moment) and he could do nothing to help him. Plus the aftermath in the promos with Buck reminded me of the aftermath with Brian in the hospital and how in shock and grief stricken he was not knowing if Justin would live or die.
Not to mention when Justin was attacked Brian had only just begun opening up to him he hadn’t yet told him how he truly felt about him. It’s another thing that reminds me of Buck and Eddie. I wonder if when Eddie is in the hospital Buck will think about how he’s never told Eddie how much he means to him.

Gay OK Bangkok
Well, holy shit. I had been planning to watch this ahead of Only Friends because @shortpplfedup named it as one of the Jojo shows that would serve as a good primer for the types of themes we could expect. I didn’t know much about it except it was an Aof/Jojo collab and had openly queer cast members. I expected something like a short Thai Queer as Folk.
And it kind of is like QaF, in the sense that it’s very much a show about a group of queer friends and their romantic (mis)adventures that features frank discussion of gay sex and sexual health practices, but it’s not really like it at all in terms of its tone. Where QaF is known for its explicit sex, trippy drug sequences, and heavy doses of camp, GOBK is much less smutty and has a thread of deep melancholy running through it (oh hi Aof), and it is primarily interested in doing some serious character work alongside delivering its messages about safe sex. And these characters got their hooks in me much more than I expected.
I think what I appreciate most about this show is how real the characters feel. They’re wonderfully flawed, fully realized human beings—beautiful and ugly in equal measure, wrong as often as they’re right, and just doing their best to balance their needs and desires with how they want to show up for the people they love. Even the characters I didn’t like much, I still understood and felt some empathy for, and I think that’s a credit to the compassion and care with which this series is written (not a surprise given Aof and Jojo are the ones who wrote it). Everyone gets the benefit of nuance and grace, including the side characters. And to be clear, I wouldn’t consider this a bl. I’d call it a queer slice of life drama that includes romance, but is not about romance—there is no primary romantic relationship that acts as the plot driver and it’s not at all interested in happily ever afters or even firm endings for its relationships.
My only real complaint about this show is I wanted (a lot) more of it. But still, for a show that only had eight hours total runtime over two seasons, it managed to do a lot with it. I am going to avoid getting into spoilers because as usual, I want y’all to watch this! But I really loved seeing a few years in the life of Arm, Pom, Aof, Big, Sathang, and their various friends, family, and lovers. And, crucially, it’s all so very queer. There is so much to unpack here about the nature of loneliness and desire and the guilt and shame that often comes along with them. The show is interested in exploring lots of ways to be in love and in relationship with each other, and it lets the characters fight, fuck up, break up, make up, and express their own confusion and discomfort and dissonance along the way. The only thing it’s interested in being preachy about are safe sex practices; everything else is presented in shades of gray. And it doesn’t limit itself to romance; we see the characters at work and with their families and out living their daily lives in a society that is often actively hostile to them. This show sits squarely at the center of @wen-kexing-apologist’s by/for/about Venn diagram (can’t wait for you to watch this, friend).
I highly recommend this show to anyone who plans to watch Only Friends (which, by my count, is just about everyone I know on here)—homework is of course not required before enjoying a new drama, but I do think familiarity with this work will enhance your experience, and it’s such a quick watch! If you’re interested, the show is available on YouTube here and here. It also has a great and surprising soundtrack which has also been compiled into two playlists.
Tagging friends @neuroticbookworm, @waitmyturtles, @chickenstrangers, and @lurkingteapot who are all in the midst of their own watches or planning to start soon, and @bengiyo, @so-much-yet-to-learn, and @imminentinertia who saw this awhile back and shared some interesting reflections about it during my watch.

After I sent that message, I finished watching 5x05. And boy, they really had Justin change his mind 17 times during one single episode. I kind of hate it because he literally out of nowhere is now thinking about babies and marriages. I also feel so bad for Hunter and at the same time Michael is pissing me off. He really is the worst character ever. I will say though, that scene in the club where Brian tells Emmett he has syphilis and Emmett jokes that at least he avoided the rash. And then Brian tells one guy and it’s just a giant telephone game of guys giving each other ‘hey get tested’ and it gets all the way back to Emmett and then they cheers their drinks? Not gonna lie, I loved that scene, it made me laugh so hard. I wish we got way more of Emmeet and Brian. I’m still upset that he was the only one who didn’t find out about cancer in s4. I know for sure he would’ve had a nice reaction. Even tho in this episode he teases Brian, that it hasn’t been his year dick wise, which again was funny. Wish we got more of their friendship
Hey anon!
Yeah... Justin's characterisation is one big mess in this season. Poor boy doesn't know whether he's coming or going, not that Brian's is exactly any better.
Hating Michael is a badge of honour as a qaf fan it seems, welcome to the club!
Emmett and Brian are *everything to me* I adore their friendship. They're very similar in personality and Gale and Peter's chemistry is wonderful. They have great comedic timing and their banter is on point. Also Emmet being one of the rare ones who doesn't want to be Brian or fuck him - legends only.
I agree I wish we had seen Emmett's reaction to the cancer arc as he would have been very supportive of Brian, checking on him and also Justin. Underneath it all they all love each other very much and teasing is how they show it.
Good luck with the rest of the season, *spoiler alert* do have a supply of tissues is all I'll say.

One of the QaF storylines that frustrates me (and there are many) is the constant struggle of Justin + Art School. JFC, he works so hard just to be able to go (and it’s packaged at the time as part of officially coming out, being his true, queer self), then legit constantly has to fight to be able to stay, only for it to amount to nothing. Partly because a few months in Hollywood turn sensitive intellectual Justin into an instant fame whore, and partly because he has a love-hate relationship with the school since day one, when they started giving him shit over his disability.
It’s just such a wasted struggle. Once again, we never get the payoff.

Here’s a reason why I’m glad there was no verbal “I Love You” said.
In Queer as Folk (US) there’s a scene in season five where a bomb went off in a gay nightclub that all of Brian’s friends were at, including the guy he was in love with but never said it for like, all the seasons. (Brian got issues okay; if you never saw the show)
He went to the scene freaked out that Justin was dead and like, emotions are high and he’s panicking. He eventually finds Justin the crowd, is relieved, they reunite, and Brian says he loves Justin. Cool right? Yay!
But Brian isn’t known to say I Love You. He only believes in the successes of casual hookups. He keeps trying to convince Justin that he means what he says and that he wants to marry Justin, but then this is said:
Justin: Besides, you're only asking me 'cause you're freaked out about what happened to Michael.
Brian: I did have this dream. I was at his funeral, but he wasn't in the coffin, I was [..] there.
Justin: You see? Now, as soon as life returns to normal, so will you.
At the club scene, post-explosion, their friend Michael was seriously injured.
So last night in 15x09, we were all basically believing Dean was about to say “I Love You” but it’s kind of a good thing he didn’t. Emotions are running high, tensions are running high, he was just freaking out...
It wasn’t the time and place for it. Maybe Cas realized that, maybe he didn’t, IDK. Idk how intentional his interruption was. IDK if maybe he saw it coming and put a stop to it because he didn’t want any ‘happiness’ because of the Empty; IDK if he stopped it because he honestly thought Dean was just going to repeat an apology; IDK if he stopped it because things have to get done right now and time is urgent and they can’t afford distractions (which explains stiffness, still kind of being a little distant and not fully there).
IDK why he stopped it. But, if it was going to be said, I’m happy it was stopped. That’s something to be said later down the road. They still have some work to do together both outside their relationship and inside it.
