I know you’re on a break but after that last incorrect quotes I would love it if you could give your thoughts on which glee characters everyone else would get, cuz you were so right with Sam for Spencer

My thoughts are; Blaine for Angela, Quinn for Courtney, Brittany for Olivia, Sebastian for Tommy, Santana for Chanse, and Marley for Kimmy

DLNAFLKNFKLNFKLNRKL this is so funny bc i debated on who to make him for forever and i was worried that sam was my fave so i was just being biased but im glad it went over well xxx i did check in with my bestie before drafting it and she confirmed sam made most sense.

hmmmm excellent q!! i am putting all these thoughts under the cut just so im not raw glee posting on the dash LNSDKNFKLN

this was. SO MUCH harder than i thought it was gonna be okay LKNDNAKFNKL this may be nonsensical and for some of them i simply don't give a concrete answer bc ykw. idk!

olivia is SOOOOO brittany-coded oh my GOD. marley for kimmy just smacked me in the face with how real that is. and quinn-courtney......... yEAH you're so correct. i gotta text my bestie shes gonna freak. her favorite Blonde Girlies. i do love all of these though!! i might personally make some tweaks but i TOTALLY see where you're coming from on all of them

i do like chanse as santana.... but i might switch arasha to santana instead?? just makes sense for the queen of lies imo. the medical examiner feels so santana-coded especially. might shift chanse to kurt bc he can also be a bitch but he's so much more ambitious than that. although it's a Tough call bc i feel like chanse fits both BUT who else would arasha be...

on blaine (and im talking seasons 2-3 blaine bc thats my baby and they cant take him away from me) i do like angela but i am caught between her and damien. it's the Most theater-kid energy of all the glee characters and they are the Most theater-kid energy of all the smosh members. yeah im not 100p sure what Else to do with either of them so that's just a sub note. unsure on that one !

anyway additional thoughts: jackie might be tina-coded?? hopeless romantic, extremely emotional, low-key diva when she wants to be, incredibly talented and they didn't deserve her. again im talking 1-3 tina. they hated her after that for some fucking reason. and on that note shayne is mike im taking no questions at this time. level-headed, smart, not a singer, just here to be a lil guy. yeah.

i think im gonna go with amanda as rachel. lovingly. SO lovingly. all the silliest rachel moments. i could see a couple different people as her (i think angela is also good here but she's too okay with being wrong/the butt of the joke, and then i think my second choice is tommy) but yeah i think amanda is my top pick. and then i might be so controversial as to say ian is finn-coded. just some guy. team leader. everyone's dad. just seems like he would have things to say about grilled cheesus. and anthony is jesse st. james. goodbye. that's all. these three are THE love triangle moment.

kiana is mercedes. why? because i said so. above it all, incredibly talented but underrated. (also im not thinking too hard ab the relationship implications but that does make the samcedes dynamic SO fucking funny.) and keith is artie. it's the 'wheres my hug at' guy of it all. its okay i like artie im allowed to bully him and i Love keith so

i do like sebastian for tommy and ya know what. im tempted to agree and leave it there bc i feel like thats as kind to him as i can possibly be KLNFFKLN but i struggled with placing him anywhere else... he could be rachel i think (and then amanda would move the whole paradigm. i would make her sue for funsies.) but i think that's All i can see him as. and then trevor is. rory. bc i have a hyperfixation on rory and trevor Is the rory in my head. so there.

aaaaand garrett IS mr. schuester. that's all goodbye

Two possible ways (of many) this could be done, assuming the dynamic of "one person in the life and one person dragged in unwillingly".

Angela as a junior-ish or newer spy/agent in training. Deeply intelligent, excellent at improvising on the fly, fantastic actress. Easy to underestimate and very good at weaponizing that. (Nobu and crying on command). But she is newer to a world of professionally doing this, with Arasha and Chanse training her and getting used to working with her and maybe her unique methods of doing things.

Amanda as a civilian, but who gets dragged in one way or another- maybe because Angela hasn't quite figured out the ways to cleanly cut her personal and work lives apart. Maybe because Amanda was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and Amangela liked each other too much to let it go there. Amanda as Just A Random Person (who Angela really, really likes, despite herself), but every ounce of confident and clearheaded and determined, enough to get her out of tight spots and save her ass- and maybe Angela's- a few times. Enough that even Chanse and Arasha (deeply horrified bc Oh God Literally Rule 0 Is Not To Let Regular People Get Involved??? much less feelings???????) are like. fuck. okay. damn.

(But also- to have it backfire at times, because despite the confidence, despite her being remarkable- Amanda's not trained in this, she wasnt meant for this, and she didn't choose it, and it risks her and maybe Angela's life more than a few times. Overconfidence and stubbornnness backfiring, Amanda being genuinely in over her head but Angela coming through when it counts, always, always.)

Changela as getting friendly and close FAST. i want Changela in this world okay 🥺 Despite her inexperience, Chanse likes her and respects her even if she drives him up the wall a bit. I want. Changela. <3 Arangela as maybe more uncertain, slightly different ways of approaching their work (and lies) that clash at first. But once they figure out how tonwork together..... #gaslight gatekeep girlboss dream team!!!

OR.

If Amanda were the spy/secret agent. Amanda as yet another professional who largely works . alone. shes very good at it. She works well with Arasha and Chanse- they've all been fake married or flirting or watching each other's backs in a fight whatnot more than once. But Amanda also has a reputation- for one reason or another- that she doesn't have a direct partner in her work like how Chanse and Arasha are each others go to's, their ride or die. Maybe it could be an occasional tendency to take big risks- not often, not in a way that's unprofessional, just. Risky. Maybe a tragic hidden past or sth. idk. but. Amanda is charismatic and well liked and reliable and she'll flirt with many people and mean it sincerely. But she doesn't necessarily keep people. Close.

So then. Enter civilian/regular person Angela. it has to be something kind of outrageous, or impressive, or mundane. A fling that gets interrupted and Angela holds her own or Amanda misidentifies her as a hostile but no she's literally just a very good actress and misread the situation (in the way that saves her ass but also made Amanda freak out). I want it to be something that impresses Amanda deeply and grabs her by the insides and shakes her well trained composure. And I want something that makes Amanda panic, because it feels like a mistake- the affection, getting Angela involved, accidentally getting used to trusting her or relying on her abilities or even having faith in her. I want her to be VERY good at her job in a way that juxtaposes the gravity of Amangela happening... yes I'm reinventing disaster Amanda in this universe. sorry.

Chamanda would be a fun kind of combative and competitive in this version, I think, but with a LOT of mutual respect. Its just under a lot of teasing and comments and competitive flair. Amarasha would be fun and flirty and just a smidge dangerous because if they ever play chicken in anything, they're both willing to go just a bit too far.

Charasha are accustomed to each other and maybe used to Amanda (and her flings??? player amanda??? if not flings then consistent flirting??) which means the thing with Angela doesn't throw up red flags for them at first. Normal flirty Amanda/some girl that got looped up in Amanda's charm/work. Until suddenly they're like mid mission and there are a LOT of red flags at once and its like "WAIT THIS IS NOT A REGULAR AMANDA THING. AMANDA WHAT IS HAPPENING."

Either way i hope its clear that in either universe charasha are the tired professionals dealing with things going sideways bc their coworker. is. DOWN BAD. AND ITS INCONVENIENT AS HELL.

(this is then made triply funnier if while this is happening in the background. Arasha is doing some slightly sketchy things. like triple poisoning a journalist (Courtney) she has a certain level of respect (or affection???) for instead of doing twenty other things that would have been easier to remove them from the equation. And Chanse who loves and trusts his partners judgement and who has not had to deal with this from Arasha before is like. GOD. AM I THE ONLY DAMN SPY HERE KEEPING THEIR DAMN FEELINGS IN ORDER. idk it could be funny.)

making a new post bc the last one is getting a little long but. what if i admitted i was contemplating the best way to incorporate amangela into the hypothetical charasha spies au. what then.
