Pffft speak for yourself. I simply choose to hate his guts for all eternity, like a normal person. :)

The character Blaine and my reading of him has always been very personal, when I first finished glee and compared him to the Blaine in my life I understood him very well. He was a textbook narcissist. The behaviour lined up like word for word. And through out the series if he's looked at through this lense he's one of the only consistently written characters.

A lot of us, myself included have trouble believing Kurt was so attached to this piece of shit. But after experiencing some things with my real life Blaines I began to have some empathy for how difficult it can be to let go of some people, no matter how much they hurt you. So I feel the need to try explain Kurts attachment to Blaine, not romanticize but explain why it exists.

Childhood attachment/First love: Kurt meets him relatively young, he looks up to Blaine, grows up with him, Blaine is the first person he dates and they get through some very dark times in Kurts life together, no matter how much growth occurs in Kurts life he can't shake off the initial gratitude, hero worship

Sunk cost fallacy: The strange feeling of not wanting to feel like an idiot or a loser for having a made a bad decision that has already taken too much of your time, so you rationalize that if you see it through it will be worth it because you've put too much of yourself in it, it being a relationship or a person. It's feels like too much effort to start over anew. To learn a new person or to heal when you've learned the motions of the status quo. So maybe it hurts when Blaine yells about unreasonable things but he's learned to yell back and hold his ground.

Trauma bonding : Feeling connected to an abuser because of various manipulation tactics they use to control you like love bombing, withholding affection( fratboiphysicals), guilt tripping ( I needed you and you weren't there), gaslighting etc. It's very hard to cope with the knowledge that someone you love is just using you for their ego so we don't. We pretend we are loved, that what we have is unconventional but special. When someone is constantly being hostile the bar lowers itself and we live on the crumbs of their affection, it feels special, and because the abuser never reassures you you have a definite place in their world you have to fight for their attention and fight you will.

External pressure : Narcissists have a way of perfecting surface level charm to get everyone in their pocket until you no longer have anyone in their corner and they have everyone telling you how great they are. Eg: the proposal scene, santana sabotaging kadam and the rant, Sue(?)

Isolation : They find whatever way to make sure you have less and less friends to make it easier for them to gaslight you, so only their opinion matters and you can't fact check with a sane person. Eg: the Elliot incident, the Chandler incident.

Gaslighting : Abusers change the narrative to fit their needs with such blinding confidence that you think you're the problem eg: late s6 Kurt.

The fact that it's been almost 8 years since Glee ended and the Kl*ine stans are still just as insufferable and insecure as ever. Like why are y'all attacking Jenna and Kevin just because they don't really talk about them and didn't like one of their scenes? Like who cares? That's their opinion and that pair didn't involve them anyway. It doesn't mean they hate them.

And even if they did, they have that right. Kevin being gay doesn't mean he's required to like every single gay pair or character (especially when they're terribly written). Damn just don't listen to their podcast and go about your business. This isn't hard.

Yay Kurt, stand your ground!

Limited (Glee) Gravitation 'verse pt 3

This is a follow-up to "Close My Eyes and Leap" and "Take a Message Back from Me" taking place a couple of weeks after those two.

“Did Blaine get hold of you yesterday?” Kurt froze up a bit, because first of all, his ex wasn't exactly Kurt's favorite topic on conversation, and second, that tone of voice from Rachel? Rarely meant anything good for him.

“No, I haven't spoken to him since he called and whined about me not coming to the wedding.”

Thankfully, because Kurt might have agreed in a weak moment to keep communications up, but talking with his ex – or being talked at, more often – wasn't something Kurt enjoyed that much. In fact, he'd been pulling back as much as he could while still coming off as friendly. (The last thing Kurt wanted to do was encourage Blaine's barely hidden delusions about getting back together.)

Of course, if Blaine was going to try and get around that by having Rachel play messenger – and if Rachel was stupid enough to let him – well. Maybe it was time to stop playing friendly too.

“Why, did something happen?” Please, please, let it be nothing more than the usual whining.

“Not exactly, but he's thinking about coming up the weekend after next to look at his apartment – you know, get a feel for the place, get his bearings. So I thought we should get a couple of people from NYADA together, go for dinner, take him to Callbacks, you know. Make sure he feels welcome – that he knows he won't be lonely and left out in the fall.”

Like I did went unsaid, but Kurt still knew that that was what Rachel meant. He scowled, not liking the assumption that of course Blaine would be there in the fall, that of course he'd get accepted to NYADA without issue. (Unlike Kurt, which also was unsaid but loud and clear.)

And okay, maybe he was being petty, but spending an evening making nice with Blaine, making sure he got a nice, smooth transition to New York – taking advantage of the hard work Kurt and Rachel had put in – was not exactly on the list of Kurt's favorite things to do. (Or any of Kurt's lits, to be honest.) He preferred spending his rare weekends off with Adam, in private, doing more exciting things than going to Callbacks.

Only that was obviously not going to be an option – Rachel Berry wasn't one to accept “no” after all.

“Okay, I guess we could do that. Not sure how much time I'll have to see Blaine though, between school and work and vogue, but I know I have that Saturday free. I'll make sure to keep it that way.” And ask a few of the Apples to come along, to make sure he'd have some sane people to talk to. Rachel was his friend, yes, but the crowd she ran with at NYADA made Kurt's skin crawl. Being stuck having only them and Blaine to talk to for an entire evening?

No thanks. The mental images accompanying that reminded Kurt of a trapped animal trying to chew its leg off.

He'd ask Adam to come as well, of course, but... Well. The Brit worked as hard as Kurt, but he also had every reason not to want to spend an evening with not only Rachel and her “friends” but Kurt's ex as well.

“...so Sophie from my voice class is letting us borrow a cot, and I thought we could put it in your part of the loft, keep him and Santana from killing each other.” Wait, what?

“What? Rachel, don't tell me you told Blaine he could stay here!”

“No, I didn't.” Thank god. “I wanted to make sure I could get an extra bed first.”

Oh, hell no.

“I'm sorry you went through that effort for nothing, Rachel, but Blaine is not staying here.”

“What? You can't forbid me to have friends stay here, Kurt! This is my home as well!”

“Yeah, it is. And that's why I haven't had Finn come stay here like, half a dozen times already. Because it is your home as well as mine, and I thought having your ex-fiancé staying here would make you feel uncomfortable. Now, if I'm wrong about that, then great, I'll let Finn know he can come visit any time.

“But that doesn't change anything about this situation. Blaine can afford a hotel for the weekend, you know he can, and so there's no reason for me to suffer. That's it.

“Or well, I guess you can insist on having Blaine stay here, but then you will be paying for me to stay elsewhere. And just so you know, that won't get you out of hauling that cot all over town, because there's no way he's sleeping in my bed. Also, you're responsible for keeping him away from my belongings – he doesn't touch a single thing.”

“But Kurt...”

Rachel was pulling out all the stops, making herself look as much as a kicked puppy as she could. Normally that'd make him fold – had, too many times to count – but not this time. Not when it came to this.

“No. I realize that's not a word you're that familiar with, but I don't care. I am not comfortable with having my cheating ex-boyfriend staying in my home, and if you really are my friend then you need to respect that. So, what's it going to be? Me or Blaine?”

Rachel backed down a lot quicker than Kurt had expected after that, though maybe she picked up on the fact that he really was serious when it came to his ultimatum. She didn't back down gracefully however, and it was obvious things would be tense at the loft for a while as a result.

And that was... Well, Kurt was used to it, after all. Rachel made things difficult more often than he cared to think about, for reasons both serious and silly, and for the most part Kurt had learned to navigate around it.

He was not, however, willing to navigate around Blaine. Not any longer.

For years Kurt had given in to whatever Rachel, and Blaine, wanted from him. There had been no limits for what he'd allowed them to get away with. Things were different now though. For the first time in his life Kurt had developed limits, some hard ones even, regarding not only what he'd do for others but also what he would allow them to do to him.

Adam had helped him do that – as had Blaine too in a way, seeing as he was the cause for more than one of Kurt's new hard limits.

In the end though it didn't come down to Blaine, or to Adam for that matter. It came down to Kurt, and what was best for him. And for the time being? That was living with limits.

~The End ~

@klainesecretsanta2024 gift for @spaceorphan18!

When I think of Pam I can't help but also think of the pages and pages of meta she's written over the years covering Klaine's story through the seasons. It didn't seem quite right to focus on one specific moment in their story, because how does one choose?? So instead I decided to focus on so many of the moments that make up their entire story - I hope that's okay! ;)

[justgleekout]

Happy glartswap @porcelainvino! And a happy early new year ;)

I thought Blaine looked so very cute, I didn’t wanna cover him up so I added him on his own as well 🙂‍↕️

Pathway to Passion: Chapter 5

Blaine also sits up, stretching his arms high over his head, and Kurt tries to ignore the tiny sliver of skin that shows just over his hipbone from his shirt riding up. It’s absurd: he’s seen Blaine entirely shirtless many times before. Why is that suddenly so evocative? He clears his throat when his brain supplies him with the sensation of a tingling tongue that wants to lick across it and…

You can read Chapter 5 [here] or start at the beginning on AO3 [here]. ♥For the @klaineccfanficlibrary Valentine's Challenge (thanks for hosting it again this year!)

When in Glee season 4 do you think the break-up between Kurt and Adam was and how do you think it went?

Ha.

This is always a fun rabbit hole to go down.

First of all, I don't necessarily think there was anything to break up because I don't think Adam and Kurt were ever officially anything. They went out a few times, hung out a few times, and that was mostly it. (Do I think they slept together? You can argue either way - but I headcanon that they did - I think it's beneficial to Kurt's story for him to have more experiences.)

But I think they had a non-defined relationship. After they went to see that movie that was supposed to be /their/ movie, things began to fizzle out. (Keep in mind - it's only a month between Girls and Boys on Film and Love Love Love -- insane? why yes, Glee's timeline is)

I'm guessing that Kurt started to slowly not reply to texts right away, and Adam, whom I don't think was an idiot, kind of got the picture. And then when Kurt came back engaged, it kind of confirmed what I'm sure Adam had already been wondering about.

I don't think there was a clear cut moment -- I don't think all stories have definitive endings. I think it was one of those things that gradually tapered off into nothing. Kurt definitely doesn't seem that interested in defining or talking about it right before he gets back together with Blaine, sooo... yeah :)
