Oh My God I Thought Your Url Said Champagne For The Longest Time I’m Such An Idiot

So I’m reading some of the “fandom classics” at the moment and let me just say that Not Like the Movies by Knightlycat has made me have to stop, flap my arms, and repeat the word “babes” over 6 times now because I love this and I love how Klaine is portrayed so so much. But also if the stalker is who I think it is then I called it during the scene he was introduced and almost posted about it as receipts.

Guess who’s started an art project probably too big for her to finish!!

An analysis on Finn Hudson and “what the hell house is he in” -prompted by @grouchycritic7794’s comment on my Kurt post

First off there isn’t a chance in all of the nine circles of hell that this boy is a Ravenclaw. Not because he’s dumb, but because he doesn’t see any value in wisdom. And I’ll be the first to admit that S4 Finn was (mostly) wise. But our boy has no wit or care for knowledge. So Ravenclaw is the easy out.

Slytherin is another easy out in my opinion. His entire S3 struggle was about how he wasn’t as ambitious as Rachel and early S4, had it been given the proper dedication, would have been him accepting that that’s okay. That he doesn’t need to have insanely huge dreams to be of worth. Some might claim, “But Lo! By your definition he admires ambition so he should go in Slytherin!” (Yeah let’s be real most people aren’t saying that, but) This is true, I do say that they need to have the traits of the house in high regard. However, they need to hold it in the same regard that they would try to act on it in their own life. The perfect example being Neville, who admires the bravery of others and uses their example to build himself. So, in the case of Finn, Slytherin is out.

Now onto the harder decisions. Yes Finn is very brave and chivalrous. Most of his character arcs revolve around him choosing the untraveled road, the path that takes more bravery. And he was fairly chivalrous with various people in his life. Not the best but not nearly the worst of Glee. However I see his bravery as a subset of his larger character growth, I would even go as far to say he was only brave in defense of the people he was loyal to...

Hufflepuff. So I know there are going to be objections. Objections about how he is lazy and unkind and doesnt fit the soft puff mold. I will never agree with many of the words and decisions Finn has said and made, however Glee was always trying to show that he was learning. Glee was just somewhat bad at their jobs. He was a kid who had been with the wrong crowd for years, he was the standard American way to look into this group of weirdos and learn how to empathize and accept them. Sometimes they did it right and he came off as a good man and a hero. Sometimes they did it wrong and he came off as trite and even worse than before. But at his core he was a child learning who he should be loyal to. He was loyal to the jocks until he realized that they didn’t deserve that loyalty and then he mostly committed to glee club (rewiring everything you’ve ever been loyal to is a hard process). When Quinn is having his baby he is trying his best to be hardworking so he can support the family he thinks he’s going to have. And after the anger at Puck they still make up, it takes time because as a Hufflepuff who’s loyalty has been tested he’s going to have troubles trusting them. As a teacher at McKinley he shows the best of his Hufflepuff qualities with his dedication to those kids, and though he had stumbles along the way I truly believe he is a Hufflepuff.

Dumb question but if you were going to change the spelling of any Glee Character’s name (first or last) to an obnoxiously complicated version of that name who’s would it be and what would it look like?

Okay I love this question. I’m such a language nerd. 

Kuhrt. Because it’s German (well, so is Kurt (the name) anyways). 

but my brain knowledge ends there

OKAY SO, I am no expert on Broadway Auditions and will be ignoring the absurdity of a completely open audition for a well off revival of a critically acclaimed show like Funny Girl. But I cannot ignore the buffonary of Don’t Stop Believing as an audition song. The fact that she gets the part instead of being laughed right off the stage is ridiculous honestly what even was this show??

Heyo! I’m back with another! This ones for you @pineappletheatrekid

I’m rewatching early season 1 and gosh. I love the plot lines and the focus on the kids in the rest of the seasons, really I do. But there’s something beautiful in the uncomplicatedness of the first 13? Not many of them get a focus because of how much we follow Schue’s story and that somewhat makes me like the kids better? Like glee really mostly focused on characters or relationships if they were going to be mean or there was going to be drama. But with so much drama being taken up by the Ken/Emma/Will/Terri and babygate plots the rest of the characters live out of background moments. And it’s truly a testament to these actors how well they craft these kids with the little time they have. All these little moments and friendships and callbacks just make me feel warm because it feels real. With how dramatic all the kids are from sectionals on out (and yes they are dramatic in the first 13, but in like a teenagers way) a lot of them being kids is lost? Watching throwdown and sectionals and just seeing all the interaction and ways the casts’ bond came through? Gosh as much as we all rag on the first 13 there’s a reason people came back for more. And it was these actors doing so much with so little in such amazing ways.

Hi Becky! I’ve followed you for a while now and you’ll never understand how I legitimately squealed when I saw you followed me so @backslashdelta

William Schuester I am begging you to stop talking about the sex life of you and a coworker to your superior in the workplace.

Headcanons for lil bby Kurt! (and Hummels) pt 1

In no particular order:

Kurt was an “oops” baby. He was certainly wanted, but not planned. The Hummels had to quickly move homes because they lived in a one bedroom house.

They were married a year (in their early twenties) when they found out Elizabeth was pregnant. 

Elizabeth was a painter and tailor. She made money by doing commissions, like murals for the city or seaming wedding dresses. 

It was also just Burt and Elizabeth (my headcanon name for his mom). Elizabeth’s parents didn’t like Burt because he was blue-collar, and Burt’s parents were old and gone by the time Kurt was 2. 

He was also two weeks early. Burt was working in the mechanic shop to until he got the call. He had been working on the underside of a car, got the call, slid out so fast and was out the door in 3 minutes, the employees who still work for him tell Kurt that story all the time.

He was going to be a Burt Jr, but It was actually Burt’s idea for him to be Kurt, because their first date was to a screening of Sound of Music at a drive in. They decided to give him his mother’s middle name so he had a piece of each of them in his name.

In his baby/toddler years, Kurt was a very judgmental baby. It wasn’t that he hated everyone, but he preferred his parents. He was still very giggly though.

Kurt had a million interests as a child. He loved musicals and dance, but he also loved watching his dad work and would watch him work on cars with big eyes. 

His favorite outfit as a toddler was a mini version of the Hummel Tires and Lube coveralls + a tutu. An interesting choice, but it made him happy.

Elizabeth would make her clothes in a way-she’d get pieces from shops, and then change them to how she wanted them. This is what inspired Kurt.

Kurt’s first job was working in the tire shop. Their favorite thing to do was to was when a jerk customer thought that Kurt didn’t know what he was talking about (or just being a jerk in general), one of the employees would come over to help, say “What do you need, Mr. Hummel?” and watch the customer’s cogs spin in his head until he figured it out.
