Brendan Dude - Comments

Don't, I'm blushing. This really was a perfect epilogue. It had all that right kind of atmosphere and air and this kind of this-is-the-end-so-things-are-settled-for-once feel to it. I'm not sure how quite to articulate exactly what I'm thinking but it was really the right kind of ending in my opinion.
On a different note, three months off? Three months of summer? Is that how long it is in America? Wow.

Words cannot express my feelings so I'm sorry this is a shit comment and lots of my comments have been and stuff but GAH THIS STORY IS SO LOVELY AND GREAT AND AND AND AND SWEET. I'm sorry.

Oh my God, how can it nearly be over? At least there is Lukey Kid but then after that...
Favourite line in the history of ever: 'My anger boiled my blood like it was preparing to cook pasta.' As ever, I simply adore the way that Brendan and Joey can get so annoyed with each other but then it's sorted so simply because they both just understand each other and know the other is sorry and- ofhgalhglgaerougtorug.

I think I am in love with their grandparents. Lord, that brightened my day.
And the interaction between siblings, but that's a given.

I adored how Brendan wasn't instantly 'oh my gawd i <3 this dog more than my lyfe i will tace cair of it 4eva' as soon as they got Steak. I mean, sure, that can happen but I would totally be... well, outraged if I was just given a dog. This doesn't make sense but this chapter was awesome so yeah ...I'll go now.

Yay, Plaster Caster are getting somewhere! And I quite liked seeing how Brendan 'sees' Ren, I guess.

I FUCKING KNEW IT!!! Well, I had a feeling since there are only a few reasons a guy doesn't like to go to church. And the Christians were accepting which is lovely because everyone makes them out to be mean but not every Christian is mean. Of course, I could get into a whole rant about generalising and such but I shan't so yeah.

I've just died from adorableness mixed with sadness and I'm curled up in the corner. Leave me to cry and speculate about future plot lines.

GAH SIBLING INTERACTION. I mean, of course, this whole story is mostly sibling and character interaction but still. The dialogue in this chapter was wonderfully realistic, too! I found the high, mood-swinging Joey oddly likeable yet irritating at the same time.

Eh, I think this chapter was necessary. I mean, Brendan's had a pretty shitty time of it lately - he's gotta have a proper break down once or twice. Also, character development is always useful/good/important!
But cats.

I was surprised by Luke in this chapter although in a good way. I mean, I didn't expect him to be that nice and in touch with his feelings and all even if he has been in past chapters. It's really sweet, you know, him being so close and kind to Brendan. It's like a real bromance. Or maybe just really lovely friendship.

NEW MIBBA NEW MIBBA NEW FRIGGIN' MIBBA. So many feels, as you said.
Also, I felt an actual kind of tremble of fear when Brendan was having that dream because Jesus that was scary. I hate scary dreams. I was quite proud of Brendan admitting he had cried though, because it's good to be a man about these things.
And you now have me questioning Luke's sexuality, too.

I think this might be unsubstantial comment but my Joey and Brendan and this story feels are too strong for me to say anything other than reading David's diary was brilliant. Sad, obviously, but so brilliant. It was excellent how it was actually like how someone might write a diary instead of the perfectly written, grammatically correct, ten page entries some people slot in stories. Very refreshing.

For a second there, you honestly had me thinking Joey was going to die to and I was just like no way, come on! but then he was okay and their conversation was adorable so it's all good. I still feel sad for Brendan, though, because it must be so bad but so... ugh, poor kid.

I knew this was coming due to the previous comments but... Jeez, I didn't expect it to actually make me feel so sad. I just want to Brendan and Joey and their parents one massive hug because that must be some of the worst pain ever. Especially for Brendan - guilt is a corrosive thing.
The simplicity in the way this chapter was written was really quite beautiful.

D: OH MY GOD NO. It went from so happy and optimistic to Brendan being all 'it was the stupidest thing I'd ever done' and stuff and- Christ. Breathe. Okay.

Too many feels, man. Way too many feels. Jesus. This chapter was just so realistic and sad and truthful and... moving, I guess. I think I'm in love with the way Brendan thinks, perhaps because it's pretty similar to the way I think. The moment that he was called over my heart went cold and then when it was David my immediate thought was oh God know he can't die now not after that adorable chapter no no and when Joey was freaking out I was getting anxious because it must have meant it was really bad and then everyone was crying and I was getting choked up (I swear to God, what is up with my hormones lately?) and-
Phew. Everyone's okay for the time being. I just wonder who Lindsay is... Also, I loved how as Brendan got more upset he kept cutting if the writing to breathe. It made it so damn real.

Holy shit, tears in Brendan's eyes? Tears is David's eyes? No comparison to the amount in mine. I can't even pinpoint why. This chapter was just... really pretty.

I gave feedback! D: No worries, I can give it again.
I think I like seeing how Brendan sees Ren, you know? It's like they're friends but they're not because Ren still hasn't really 'opened up' to him yet. 'I don’t think he’d know how to deal with a vagina if it hit him in the face.' - Good Lord, there were tears in my eyes at this point. It links back to how I feel as if it's Brendan himself telling me the story.
And I enjoyed seeing the character development even further with David. He seems like a nice guy and it was good to see Ren being able to talk so easily with someone, even if Brendan was a little left out.
I couldn't see any typos etc. in here and, as I said before, I really admire your writing style. It's quite lovely. I just wonder what's coming next...

I'm scared to go here because in the other comments I saw the word death. Gah. Okay.
Anyway, I think this insight into the way Brendan thinks is really quite fascinating. It always seems he's not very thoughtful or anything in the other two stories but here we can see he kind of is. The relationship between his brothers is also wonderfully realistic and the fact that David still cares about Joey and kind of freaks about the drugs is really sweet. The way this is written is very... I don't know. It feels like Brendan's just sitting beside me and telling me himself, I guess, which is really nice and unique.
