QAF Pet peeves

[ben_michael]

Last night, I was taliking to   

ozchique

              and   the subject of Pet Peeves on QAF came up with regards to Michael being called Mikey when with Ben and that I have a big problem with that. He is Mikey with Brian but always Michael with Ben and

agreed with me. I know that

badbadpixie has a problem with Kinnetik being spelt wrong. I am interested to know if there are any other QAF pet peeves out there that people have.

Sorry about the layout of this post, LJ is playing stupid with me this morning for some reasons, perhaps its punishing me for being on here instead of concentrating on school work

Now that you say it... it's strange that the girls don't call themselfs "Darling" or such a thing. I mean girls are mostly the ones who use pet names. I think Mel calls Linds sometimes "honey" or at least do I always think of Mel when I here "Honey" and Qaf in one sentence.
And then of course "Sunshine". I associate "Sunshine" always with Debbie and Justin. I know that Brian uses it as well but for me he's only Sunshine if Debbie calls him like that.
And with Mikey I think like you. Mikey=Brian, Michael=Ben. And of course Michael=Baby=Ben.
It's no pet name but Zen-Ben=Brian, so...
And Kinnetik spelled wrong? I never recognized it - or maybe I read the wrong stories.
How did Brian call his son? There was a pet name, too, or?
Oh, and of course Honeybun. That's absolutely Michael=JR although it's actually Debbie=Michael before that. But we never hear it in the series.

I think Brian called Gus Sonny Boy didnt he..the Brian fans will know for sure

The only time we hear Honeybun is when Michael told Ben thats what his mother called him..in 501...and I think it is really sweet

Definetely agree re Zen Ben = Brian

Ben = Michael = Baby = Brown eyes = dumpling

*all so sweet and says so much about them I think*

Thanks for your thoughts I enjoyed reading them

I think Brian called Gus Sonny Boy didnt he

He did! He also called Justin Sonny Boy at least once, in 203 when Justin is struggling to walk down the street.

As for pet peeves, don't even get me started! I hate when Brian or Justin calls the other one baby, because that's not something either of them ever says on the show. Bleh.

I hate when authors (usually female) make the guys cry too easily. Yes, we see everyone cry at some point on the show, but it's usually in pretty dire circumstances, not just, you know, an argument or something. They are not women. (And frankly, I'm a woman and I wouldn't cry about some of the stuff authors make these poor boys cry about.)

Let's see, I hate when Brian is jealous of Justin tricking, because...no. He's only jealous when he thinks it's more than a trick (ie Ethan). And I hate when post-S3 Justin is written as wimpy or whiny -- he was really only like that for about five minutes in S2.

I could go on, but I'll just be quiet now...

Oh, yes. I absolutely know what you mean with the crying! But... not everybody. Ben never cried at the show. That's still a miracle for me. Because if someone has a reason to cry it's Ben. But it doesn't fit the figure. You know... calm, living in the now etc. He just does stupid things instead... like steroids.

I agree with this as well, and I try not to do this in my fics, although in a recent one it did happen a lot, but in my defence, I did not write the part of Ben, I wrote as Michael as always, but I still think he may cry occassionally, but if that did happen it would be in private, perhaps after Michael survived the bombing. The thought that he could have lost Michael, when he is the one who is positive, and could die, would I imagine have hit him very hard.
Michael I think is the emotional one, not as in crying a lot, but you can see his emotions in his eyes so very clearly, when he is hurt or upset or confused by something. Michaels eyes are just something to behold I believe *sighs*, I could drown in them personally.

Hmm, you're right! I actually don't think it would be that out of character for him to cry because I think he has a healthy knowledge of his own feelings, and I don't think he'd be ashamed of tears. However, you're right that he has other coping mechanisms that he turns to first.
