These are good things, but it's much easier to write about somebody with flaws, somebody who has to be *made* happy - or who can be tortured a bit more, I guess!
Aww. Writing about happy people is fun! It can be a bit harder, sure, but a challenge is good too. Or you can just pair him with someone miserable!
Also, I have no problems with torturing Brian and then making him happy. In fact, surely the fact that you can inflict moral dilemmas on him without trying too hard ought to make it *easier* to write him, not harder?
And a lot of people find it too difficult to characterise Brian, given that the obvious things to work with are 'Christian' and 'wholesome'.
Don't forget goofy, fun, and prone to mischievously molesting bandmates on stage.
Y'all are not feeling the Brian slash love. I will now go into a corner and CRY.
