Questions to ponder part 12

<< < (13/106) > >>

Carter:
absolutely..ca use I know Brian chirps with fans quite often...and AJ is always posting on instagram pictures of him and Ava...i dont see too much of Nick, Howie or Kevin on there as much, but I think stories are defiantly written differently now. If only I could get off the "Frick & Frack" thing lol. I can't seem to help myself ;)

and i dont think I have ever really written an "AJ" story...i really dont know how I would write one i would probably have to watch videos to understand him and the way he thinks. The same would go for Howie & Kevin.

RokofAges75:
I feel like I know a lot more about Howie than I used to, thanks to Twitter and seeing him in action on the cruises.  I don't think I would have ever been able to write a Howie story back in the day.  I did start one once, a Howie romance (can you believe it?), really just so I could say I'd written a Howie story, but I only got a few chapters in and discontinued it.  It was the first story I ever officially discontinued and took off my site because that's how sure I was that I was never going to write any more of it LOL.  Sorry, Howie.  I am actually really enjoying writing about him now though.

Carter:
to be honest I dont pay that much attention to Howie. I dont really have anything i guess in common or find him interesting. I have  a friend love him to pieces in the earlier days though. I looked through some of my stories and i guess i have written a few but I dont think they turned out so great. I only wrote them cause people asked me too when I had my site "Walk On Water" sooooo long ago.

And I have never been on one of their cruises either =(

Like AJ always had the "bad boy" persona, and sure, he's struggled with drugs and alcohol, and he's got all the tattoos and stuff, so he looks the part, but underneath that, he's also a loving father who's devoted to his wife and daughter.  I don't think I ever made AJ too "bad" in my old stories, but I do see him differently now than I did when I first became a fan.

Most definitely; the social networks and whatnot that we have the boys have, it makes their personal lives more accessible and truly fleshes them out... not like they weren't fleshed out before, lol. I know back then we'd read Nick being the sheltered baby that didn't know any better and was always the damsal in distress that needed protection, but now we see videos that sometimes he's the one to step up and take charge or whatever, and though he's still silly and playful, he's actually freaking smart! Lol. Gotta still love the classic blond Nick moments tho, lmao!

Kevin was always the father figure that was well in control of things, the perfectionist that would have that look, and almost a hold over the other four, like "Okay guys, control yourselves during this interview"; I don't know if it's just me, but I don't get that vibe with him anymore. Case in point, him going on and on with that sexual question, lmao. If anything, I would've that that would've been more AJ or Nick, or hell even Brian going on and on, but not Kevin! Lmao. The others kept their answers short, sweet, straight to the point, I was waiting for Kevin to start doing demonstrations or something, lmao!! One thing that hasn't changed is that he still talks a lot, lmao!!

Howie was the passive one that would always maintain the peace between everyone; although he still seems quite the same, through the media there were moments where it left me like "Wait, that came from Howard?!" Lol. And of course he's still the smart, business-savy dude we pegged him to be, lol.

Julie was on point with AJ; he's sucha pushover/cuddly bear! Lmao. In my mind, I seriously wanted AJ to be this wicked badass that backed up his persona, and perhaps in a way that existed maybe during the time he was using drugs (a lot more defiant and aggressive) unfortunately, but I honestly love the fact that he can play the role well, but ends up being the total opposite, lol. Like it was said, the badboy ends up being one of the sweetest guys you'll meet, lol. His charm definitely wins over his persona, lol.

And of course there's Brian... the one that was written to be squeaky clean back in the day, that could do no wrong. It was said earlier, but he's really intriguing... sure the guy tends to get on people's nerves with his crazy antics that sometimes goes overboard, but I think I find Brian the most surprising of the five, lol. It's like him and AJ got their personalities/characteristics switched, lol.

Speaking of which, I was kind of surprised when I read that a lot of you guys think Brian needs more work when it comes to the fans.

RokofAges75:
I think what bothers people about Brian and his interactions with fans is that he shows favoritism.  He does interact a lot with SOME fans, but usually just the same select few, whereas the other guys seem to spread the wealth more.  I am not someone who bases my happiness on whether the Boys follow me or reply to my tweets, so it doesn't bother me, but I think that's where it stems from.  Correct me if I'm wrong, other people that said that too LOL.

Brian does do some surprising things, like when he told someone who was insulting Leighanne on his Instagram to "shut your ass." LOL  Most people I saw (including me) were like, "Go Brian!" but I think that because he's always been so open about his Christianity, some people expect him to be this saint who never gets angry or cusses or drinks or thinks about sex.  And it's like, come on!  He's a good person, and he has strong morals, but he's also human!  No one is perfect, not even Brian.  In that way, he's kind of like the anti-AJ.  It's kind of fun to explore his dark side, just like it's fun to see AJ being a big ol' teddy bear.
