Yes, despite the painful circumstances they find themselves in, this chapter was quite a comforting one. It is always good to know that you're not alone and that you have people around you that love you and will support you no matter what. It's good that the family will be there to support them in whatever way they can :)

I love that you mention Michael and his totally egoistical reaction to Brian's testicular cancer. It was about Brian having cancer and possibly dying and in pure Michael fashion he made it all about himself: What will I do if you die? How will I go on without you? Not a single word about Brian and how he was feeling with the diagnosis. I wanted to show how different their friends and family are now and how different/more grown up their reactions would be, which is why I made it a point to have Ted speak up with the simple: What can we do to help?

It's not about them, it's about Brian and his family and how they can support them. Michael could learn a lot from Ted when it comes to being a good friend...

Gus and Luke will be okay, they have many people around them that love them and will take care of them when Brian and Justin can't - a knowledge that will give both Brian and Justin great comfort.

Oh, you've never been to a convention? I can only speak about Lord of the Rings and Comic Conventions, but they are great fun :) I love the whole feel and atmosphere of having so many people in one place that all love the same thing and share the same interests. Luckily enough, I have many real life friends who are just as big nerds as I am and we always go together and have a real good time at conventions. 

Usually there is a Q&A, a photo op and an autograph session. Sometimes, depending on the convention, there might be several talks, several photo Ops. From what I understood here, they will have separate Q&As with the actors individually and one with them together, but I am not sure really how this company handles their conventions.

Oh, you're from Berlin? I love Berlin. Have been many times for the Berlin Film Festival and will go again soon for a friend's wedding <3 

That is one of my biggest worries as well: Compared to many other actors at other conventions, they don't seem to enjoy themselves. They don't seem to like the Q&As, they don't seem to like the Photo Ops and paying 100 Euro (or whatever) for a pic and they won't even smile - I don't think so... If you attend a convention as a star, you have a duty to make it enjoyable for your fans - in my opinion. You go home with a huge salary, it's work, so bring your best! Just sitting around sulking, making it obvious that you don't want to be there - it's just not good enough for me. And not at those prices :( 

And I have been to conventions where I have met Hollywood stars for less (Jeremy Renner from the Marvel movies for 50 bucks, Mads Mikkelsen for 40 bucks, Elijah Wood for 60 bucks), to premieres and plays (Matt Bomer, Ryan Reynolds, Tom Hiddleston, Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen for free, etc.) and they all made sure that you as a fan would feel special and good while meeting them... Unfortunately, I have quite come to expect that as standard now *lol* And I just don't see that in them at these conventions which makes me scared a bit as well that spending that much money might end in a huge disappointment. 

Like I said, I might decide spontaneously. At this point, I'd only say yes if they get Peter Paige and Scott Lowell as well - those two are great with fans and would be amazing to meet, I am sure :) 

Yes, despite the painful circumstances they find themselves in, this is quite a comforting chapter :)

They have a family that loves them and will support them and that's all that matters!

More will be up soon :) 

I must warn you, I think you're gonna need more tissues. At least for a while :(

But there will come a day when you won't need tissues! I promise :* 

More will be up soon!
