[fallevs]

No one asked, but I thought, why not?

If Glee kids listened to Italian music

(+ links to the songs if you are interested in listening to them and judging whether I got the genre right; some lyrics too)

Rachel: Mina

Considered the greatest performer in the history of Italian pop music, Mina is definitely the ultimate diva! That is why Rachel loves her. And maybe, just like Mina, it could also happen to her to retire from the stage but forty years later continue to make hits from the walls of her home!

Her favorite song is Se Telefonando.

(If looking into your eyes, I knew how to say "enough!", I would look at you. But I can't explain that our love, barely born, is already finished.)

Finn: Ligabue

Ligabue does a genre that Finn really appreciated, given his penchant for alternative rock music, but what he appreciated most was the words of his songs. Ligabue talks about love, of course, but mostly about life, youth and those tastes and smells that we sometimes forget because we take them for granted.

In fact, his favorite song was Certe Notti. He listened to it on repeat in the period after high school, when he still had to figure out who he was and what to do.

(Some nights the car is hot and where it takes you it decides. Some nights the road doesn't matter and what matters is to hear it go. Some nights the radio playing Neil Young seems to have figured out who you are. Some nights resemble a vice that you don't want to stop, never stop.)

Blaine: Annalisa

Blaine thinks that Annalisa's best phase is up to 2022 when, for marketing reasons, she started making more commercial music. However, Annalisa has a wonderful and powerful voice (many call her the New Mina) and her old songs, the early hits, are true poems. But that of course doesn't mean that Blaine doesn't love to dance to the notes of her more jaunty songs!

His favorite is definitely Questo bellissimo gioco which Blaine listened to assiduously during the breakup. When he (and Kurt) believed there was still room for hope and the opportunity to start over, accompanied by the sunshine and the opportunity to make mistakes. A solution had to be created between them, but they see their relationship as a beautiful game that they continue to play (4x14, for example)

(Love burns the crumpled afternoons, the two of us hugging each other. Trying to find a point of balance between what to say and what to do. And this sweet sickness of ours that keeps me behind your vigil. Too busy courting some of your mental space without knowing if really what you give, can really be enough for me.)

Kurt: Marco Mengoni

Marco is one of those artists who, with his voice, his poems, his music, makes you vibrate in another dimension– makes you feel pure love! His are quite intimate songs that touch chords that, as we know, Kurt tends to keep hidden within himself.

At a specific time in his life, he listened to Venere e Marte on repeat. And you can understand why.

(I can make a thousand promises to you, or swallow them like pills. And swallow these words without even tasting them. This world alone is not much, yes, but neither is it in two. But with you it's a little less dark. Even when the sky is covered with clouds, and you were waiting for the rain to stop but you stayed all day long, I hoped it would rain harder. Because it's good to have you around again.)

Tina: Subsonica

Tina is shy, quiet and awkward. Hers is a mask she wears to avoid getting hurt and others hurting her, but she manages to find herself in music. She loves Subsonica because they are not only a band to listen to but also to watch and discover. Intense and charged, just like her.

Her favorite song of the moment is Universo. It is about a perpetual conflict with herself and the world, told through a succession of metaphorical images such as forests, oceans. The vibes that Tina loves and in which she sees herself a lot.

(Who knows if ever, if sooner or later, among the swarming of people; if you will meet the peace that life has always denied you. If it will end the war in you, the cold friction with the world; if you understand that my universe today is you.)

Artie: Fabri Fibra

The progenitor of Italian rap, Fabri Fibra represents freedom of expression and imagination. Hated even a little by many, he elevated an audience that existed only under the radar. He unhinged the hierarchies of the music industry, dispensed rawness and irony, often coupling them, in doing so he silenced bigots and censors. That's why Artie loves him, because he is someone who is not afraid to speak his mind. Which Artie sometimes fails to do.

In fact he loves Non crollo, because life is hard, but he doesn't give up.

(And this is the reason why I don't give up. Even if I'm with shattered nerves, stoned to the core, I don't collapse. They are squeezing me by the neck. They are strangling me preventing me from taking off.)

Santana: Loredana Berté

Even today, Loredana Bertè, at 73 years old, is considered a queen of music. Since her early days, she has been able to make her mark in the entertainment world. A true rock diva, feminist and nonconformist. Like Santana, Loredana Bertè never minded the rules. That's why she loves her.

Her favorite song is, of course, the iconic Non sono una signora. Her motto, basically.

(I am not a lady; one with all stars in life. I am not a lady but one for whom the war never ended. I am not a lady; one with just few marks in life.)

Quinn: Elisa

Elisa is one of the most melodic, delicate and at the same time powerful Italian voices. That's why Quinn loves listening to her and sees herself a lot in her lyrics. Elisa's voice is an expression of the soul, and her compositions reveal its fragility and strength.

Eppure Sentire is her song. Words imbued with a poetic sensibility and tell a story of inner strength and perseverance.

(One step away from possible, one step away from you. Afraid to decide, afraid of me. Of everything I don't know. Of everything I don't have. Yet feel, in dreams at the bottom of a cry, in days of silence, there is a sense of you.)

Mercedes: Mia Martini

Loredana Berté's sister, Mia Martini is considered by many the Italian Whitney Houston. A scratchy, rough and powerful voice, that is why she is Mercedes' favorite. Unfortunately, however, Mia is a misunderstood artist. She will be removed from the spotlight because of the nastiness and jealousy of the entertainment world; the suffering will be such that she will lose her life at only 47 years old. Yet her voice has never been forgotten.

Her song is Libera. You can understand why.

(Free to speak, free to search, free to do and undo, free to be just myself. Free to understand, free to feel, free to realize an end and to be wrong. I know well what I want and what I don't want. I have my pride, what does that have to do with you? A woman used to walking alone.)

Brittany: Lorella Cuccarini

Brittany is Lorella's fan more because of her dancing career than her singing one, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love her songs! At 58 years old, she is still considered one of the most beautiful and talented small screen dancers. The best showgirl of the 1980s. May Brittany aspire to be like her?

However, her favorite song to dance to is undoubtedly La notte vola. They also resemble each other, don't they?

Puck: Vasco Rossi

Besides being the undisputed idol of many and Italian rocker par excellence, he is considered the worthy rival of Ligabue. 70 years and almost 50 years into his career, Vasco's music has accompanied generations with his rock lyrics as well as lyrics about love and life.

That is why, although Puck does not admit it, his favorite lately is Canzone. It reminds him of someone who is no longer there. Someone he never told how important he was to him. His best friend.

(And when I meet you one day, maybe in the street, maybe right under your house. Look at the chance, though! Look at the splendid fate! Cruel and splendid. And meanwhile the days go by and memories fade and habits change. It was splendid.)

[cryscendo]

for the ships grid:

- quinn & santana

- artie & kitty

- kurt & sam

feel free to do these as platonic or romantic >:))

all really good choices omg. i’m gonna default to romantic unless specified otherwise

quinntana: i actually really enjoy these two!! i love that they hooked up in i do and it’s probably my fave quinn ship.

wildebrams: an unconventional choice maybe, but i appears thought they were cute. they’re two of my problematic faves so i guess it makes sense. i like it better than some other kitty ships with og glee clubbers *cough cough*

hevans: anyone who knows me knows that i ride the “hevans deserved better than they got” train. they were always so sweet to one another but finn had to go and ruin it. also sam made macaroni art of kurt?? if that’s not love then what even is really

send me more ships!!

[shame-is-a-wasted-emotion]

So for the ask game: (tempted to ask you all!)

💔: If you had to remove one major character from the series, who would you choose?

💕: What is an unpopular ship that you like?

Hey hi!! Finally I was bored and I remembered I have some asks to answer. Glad you asked me Jen. Thank you.

So *clearing my throat*

1. If I had to remove one major character:

Okay I'm really gonna go with it and let my inner Cruela out. If any of the readers get offended, forgive me in advance. Cause I'm not gonna ask sorry after I answer.

I think Artie or Brittany. They were really like undercooked meal for me. I don't usually care about most of the characters but I do think most of them bring something to the table,except these two. I never see the point (even as the partners of two character). I could even accept Artie as a representative for differently able people but Brittany never made sense. Along with s4 newbies. I don't even remember them.

2.unpopular ship I like

Dantana (Dani x Santana). I loved how Dani moved with the pace of Santana and the way they flirted. Too bad Demi was out of the show very soon. I would love to see their relationship development. I love Quinn x Santana too. I mean two bitches fighting going from envious schoolmates to lovers is just hot

Thank you jen once again. I hope my answers are entertaining.

If you wonna ask me ;)

[gleesongtournament]

[backslashdelta]

If Puckurt were making a list of potential thirds, who do you think would make the top three?

Obsessed with this question actually thank you so much.

Assuming this is strictly for a threesome and not like a third for their relationship. If that's not what you meant, feel free to let me know.

So first of all, who would it not be? None of the girls because although Puck likes women, Kurt is very much gay. Also it couldn't be Finn because that's Kurt's brother, and even if he wasn't, I think Puck might feel a little weird about it.

So let's take a look at some potential contenders.

Blaine. This is going to depend a bit on what happened with Klaine in the AU we're talking about. If they never dated, I think Blaine would be really high on both of their lists. If Klaine dated briefly and ended amicably, I think they'd also consider Blaine as a good option. But if Klaine meant anywhere close to as much to each other as they did canonically, I think this would be a hard no from Puck's side. Kurt would be up for it (assuming they ended on good terms), but I think Puck would be uncomfortable with their history and would feel like things were a little unbalanced. He'd want someone more neutral. And Kurt would understand and respect that.

Sam. Yeah Sam is high on both of their lists. Let Kurt live out all his high school football player fantasies. Puck and Sam are bros but also both a little gay about it ("How many tennis balls can you fit in your mouth?"). And Sam would be up for it I think so this is a great combo.

Artie. Definitely a little not straight so he might be up for it. Puck and Artie are kinda bros so I feel like this suggestion would come from Puck. I don't think he would be the first person to come to Kurt's mind, but I think he'd be open to it.

Mike. I think both Puck and Kurt would be similarly up for a threesome with Mike. But I think Mike would politely decline the offer, so does it matter where he is on the list if it wouldn't happen?

Dave. This is a tricky one and very dependent on timing. Early seasons Dave? Absolutely a no from all of them. But the Dave we see in season 6? There's definitely some potential. I think Dave would for sure be up for it. Kurt's forgiven him, and he hasn't forgotten but in this AU he's also willing to look past all of the bullying from Puck and actually be in a relationship with him, so while Dave's was on a different level I think Kurt would still be alright having a threesome with this version of Dave. Interestingly I think Puck is the one who would need the most convincing – I could see him being very "but Kurt he was awful to you!" about it, until Kurt reminds him that Puck wasn't the greatest either but people can change, and then I think he'd warm to the idea. Still not at the top of their lists, but a contender in this situation at least.

Jesse. I feel like neither of them are super fond of Jesse, so for that reason I think he's out.

Sebastian. Puck suggests this as a joke, just to watch the look of mixed horror and disgust on Kurt's face. Unless we're in an AU where Kurtbastian are friendly in which case Sebastian probably comes to them suggesting a threesome. They would agree.

Elliott. He is the first person that Kurt thinks of to suggest. He trusts Elliott a lot, thinks he's attractive, and they don't have a romantic history to complicate things. I could also see Puck being really attracted to Elliott, and I think they could get along, so he'd be on board too. As for Elliott's thoughts – I think he'd be down.

So, all that in mind, I think the top 3, in order, would be:

Elliott

Sam

Artie (though Blaine or Dave could be above him depending on the specific AU and the timing, respectively)

[marley-bean]

Top ships for:

Quinn, Marley, Artie, Kitty, Finn, Rachel, Emma, and Lauren

None of the ships are in order :)

Quinn:

Faberry, Fabrevans happiness.

Platonic that could turn to something more: Quinntana, Quinntina, Quinncedes

Marley:

Jarley, Marlique

Artie:

Tbh, I don’t give a damn about him. I’ve never vibed with him. But Artitty was cute

Kitty:

I don’t care what the show told us, she is a lesbian. I don’t like any of her ships, but she and Artie were cute

Finn:

Therapy 😁. Specifically the kind where they make you face your actions and list all the reasons why they SUCKED

Rachel:

Faberry, St James, Pezberry, Julyberry

Platonic: Hummelberry

Emma:

Carma. Carl x Emma

Guilty pleasure: Emma x Sue fics :)

Lauren:

Pizes. It was the only ship of hers we got, but— despite puck being involved— it was hella cute

[tuiyla]

I agree with you re Tartie. Much better as friends. And it felt incredibly lazy forcing them together at the end. Why can’t they be single?

It's such a "we don't know what else to do with them" move. I hate it when stories feel the need to leave everyone with a love interest, it reinforces such archaic ideals of what a happy ending is. I think Tartie's happy ending would have been becoming a platonic power duo. Or, if they had to get back together at least have more of a buildup than a single scene in A Wedding suggesting they'd settle for each other if no one else came along. Come on, that's just sad.

Again, I don't have anything huge against them as a couple and deffo not against the people supporting Tartie as a romantic ship. And I also understand Jenna and Kevin themselves pushed for a Tartie endgame. I just think it falls very flat.

[kurtwarbler]

Bingo Ask Game: Artie & Brittany

Ahhh very fun!!

Brittany:

Artie

[angelhummel]

Am I crazy, or is Artie standing and playing the guitar in Something Stupid?

lmao that made me go back and watch part of the scene and yeah asklfjsdl it looks like him

but also one in every 3 guys in 2012 just looked exactly Like That so just chalk it up to it being a coincidence :P

then again he did kick his leg up during don't stop me now so the power of music has been known to make him walk before. who knows

[dancex2revolution]

I think what he loves about Tina is her courage to be different. Her willingness to be herself. And that she is sweet, kind, and empathetic to others. He loves her voice.

He didnt notice her when she was still in her fake stutter stage, and not wanting to be noticed.

But after that, he tok note of all of these other things about her, and was especially attracted, because he was not able to be himself in the same way.

We know that before Glee club, he never danced outside his room. We know that his father disapproved of Glee club. We know that his parents wouldn't allow him to play the part of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Though Mike was extremely eager to. So Tina's confidence in dressing how she wanted, doing what she wanted, and being herself would be incredibly alluring to Mike.

When his father had stopped speaking to Mike because he refused to pull out of West Side Story and quit Glee club, Tina went to see him at his office to speak up for Mike. She was not intimidated by Mr. Chang at all.

By the time his father came around, and decided that his son's happiness was more important than his plans for him, it was too late for Mike to apply to Dance schools - BUT Tina had already sent in applications for him! How could he not love a girl who cares more about his happiness than his own parents?

Okay, now we get to my own odd headcanon. I think Mike is bi, and I think there is an attraction between he and Artie. The number 1 reason is Artie's daydream of the Scream video in "Michael". Of everyone in New Directions, he chose Mike to walk out with him and be his Janet in his version of the song, eyeliner and all. You may say, that shows Artie's attraction to Mike but is it reciprocal? I feel that the way they sing together, while singing to their girlfriends in "P.Y.T.", shows a very comfortable relationship between them. For example, Artie rarely let's someone else push him in his wheelchair, but he seems perfectly comfortable with Mike doing it. Other than that, you just have to look for their background interactions, or just go with me on it!

I think what would attract Mike to Artie would be the way he deals with his physical challenge without self-pity. His talent as a singer and a director. His big personality, his love for others, and his sense of humor.

popping on tumblr for a hot sec to just ask u guys what u think mike (chang)'s type is

If the cast of Glee did Hamlet

I am am clearly procrastinating from writing actual Hamlet based fiction and working on a couple of other projects, so instead I present you with the post no one wanted or asked for...who in Hamlet would the Glee cast play if they did a production? (I also have seen literally one episode of Glee ever and have absorbed everything I know about it by osmosis so this may not even be on point).

Hamlet - Santana Lopez Horatio - Brittany Pierce Ophelia - Marley Rose Claudius - Blaine Anderson Gertrude - Mercedes Jones Polonius - Unique Adams Laertes - Mike Chang Osric - Tina Cohen-Chang  Rosencrantz - Finn Hudson Guildenstern - Puck Ghost - Sam Evans Marcellus - Artie Abrams Bernardo - Kurt Hummel Fortinbras - Quinn Fabray Player King - Rachel Berry Reynaldo - Ryder Lynn Hamlet - Santana Lopez Horatio - Brittany Pierce Ophelia - Marley Rose Claudius - Blaine Anderson Gertrude - Mercedes Jones Polonius - Unique Adams Laertes - Mike Chang Osric - Tina Cohen-Chang  Rosencrantz - Finn Hudson Guildenstern - Puck Ghost - Sam Evans Marcellus - Artie Abrams Bernardo - Kurt Hummel Fortinbras - Quinn Fabray Player King - Rachel Berry Reynaldo - Ryder Lynn

And I've just discovered this gif exists...

[randowriter]

Artie Abrams x reader Glee

warnings: some sexual content, no hard smut.

you and Artie had been dating for a while now. Artie wouldn’t lie, he had been attracted to you for a long time. But he was sort of nervous to ask about why you hadn’t kissed him yet. So naturally, he asked you to come over for a bit and ‘just hang out’.

little did Artie know, you weren’t dumb. You knew exactly why he asked you to come over. And you knew what you wanted to happen when you did. So of course you dressed in your best, showing off your best assets and showing up to his house with a smile.

when Artie opened the door, his breath got caught in his throat. Your skirt ended right at your mid thigh, and your shirt was just tight enough to wear you knew his eyes would struggle to stay on yours. you leaned down and placed a kiss at the corner of his lips.

“Hey, Artie. What’s up?”

—————

Artie’s eyes were trained on you for a good hour before he finally managed to say something. “Hey, Babe? Have you ever…”

his hesitation made the smile inching onto your face that much harder to fight. “…kissed someone? Like really kissed someone?”

you grinned. “Oh no I haven’t. I guess I haven’t had the right person yet. What about you?” You knew what you were doing, leaning forward just a bit and crossing your legs so the skirt hiked up. Artie chuckled nervously. “Ah. Well, no. But j was wondering if… if I could kiss you?” without any hesitation, you pulled his chair closer and sat, straddling his lap as you laughed. “I was wondering when you’d get to that part.” with red hot passion, you slammed your lips onto his, a groan leaving his lips as you pulled him closer. Your hands ended tangled in his hair, his arms wrapping around your waist.

After a good few minutes, you moved your hips slightly against his, hearing a whimper like sound. It only fed your ego as you did it again, pulling more and more sounds from your boyfriend.

“Baby- please, I can’t- I Just- oh god~” Artie’s barely coherent rambles only made you pull away with a grin.

“You know, Artie. I should come by more often, huh baby?”

sorry. I know it’s horrible. I’m just rewatching glee and I was like, Man. I would love to kiss Artie while sitting in his lap on his chair. Ignore me. anyways-

Norma: Why would he promote a lowly pusher such as yourself-.. your words. Ivan: [shrugs] I was good at it? Eugene: Were you pleased at the time?

Ivan: It felt good t’be praised, I s’pose; it’s all smoke n’ mirrors though, ain’t it? I guess he was bankin’ on me being a nutcase. Eugene: Are you? Ivan: Uh, not in the way he wanted.

Norma: So, Kate.. you said she started it all? Ivan: I mean, I told Oscar we were fucked-.. n’ him stumblin’ into that just proved the point. He couldn’t sit on it. Norma: You weren’t privy to that information beforehand?

Ivan: Nah, we were too new for ‘em t’trust us with that. Eugene: What about Mr Clarke? Ivan: Oi, I said I ain’t here t’talk about him.

Eugene: What was Mr Flanagan’s reaction once Oscar found out? Ivan: He threatened him. The whole thing fucked him up t’be honest, I didn’t get the full story until way later. Norma: Fucked him up enough to end up overdosing?

Ivan: How d’you know that? Eugene: We’re good at guessing, but medical records are also a thing-.. speaking of, did you actually shoot yourself? Ivan: No…

kurt hummel in every performance

4x21 - Wonder-ful

For Once in My Life - Artie Abrams + Kurt Hummel, Mercedes Jones, Mike Chang, and New Directions

“I wanted to ask you if, well, will you... maybe stick around for regionals?”

“Oh! Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, Mercedes and I already talked about it. We want to stick around and root you guys on at the competition. Yeah, we wouldn't miss it for the world.”

[backslashdelta]

I'm having a 'Puck' brain tonight, so...

In the ol' fandom style of "Character A gets adopted into Character B's family"; if Puck was adopted into different Glee Club member's families, how do you think he would fair?

Oooo fun okay let's do this!

Finn (pre-Hudmels): he'd do great here. Carole would love him like a son and he'd be stoked to live with Finn. Finn would be stoked having him around too, I think. They'd squabble sometimes but overall it would be good.

Kurt (pre-Hudmels): Puck was still a douche to Kurt in earlier seasons so I don't think Burt would stand for that and Puck would be out on his ass. But if it was a later version of Puck that's actually nice, then I think this would go well. He'd play pretty much the same role Finn plays in the Hudmel dynamic except better because I think at heart he's a kinder person than Finn WHOOPS I said what I said

Hudmels - I think he'd fit in fantastic here. In my headcanons Puck is just always around the Hudmel house anyway, so I think he'd fit in seamlessly.

Sam - This is another good option imo. They're a pretty chill family and I think they'd all get on well.

Quinn - This would be a tough one. Quinn's parents have very specific expectations, and Puck would not only meet none of them, but he would also be pissed off about that and act out more. Terrible combination.

Santana - I think this would probably be fine? I don't have a lot of thoughts either way. It wouldn't be terrible or amazing, just fine.

Brittany - I think he'd really vibe here actually. I feel like Puck and Brittany have potential to be pretty good friends actually, so I think they'd have a fun time. Her parents are kinda weird but they're loving, and I think Puck would appreciate them and their quirks.

Artie - Partie are bros, Artie's mom seems great. I think this would be a really good combination. They'd spend a lot of time gaming together and Puck would maybe be a little bit of a bad influence but nothing to extreme.

Blaine - I don't want to think about this because of whatever they have going on at the wedding.

Tina - I feel like she has pretty chill parents, so I think this wouldn't be terrible, but I don't see them having a ton in common so I think he'd feel a little out of place? But it would be fine.

Mercedes - I think he'd enjoy this! He'd probably say some dumb shit occasionally and have to get set straight, but it comes from a place of wanting to learn more and understand so he's forgiven. I feel like living with them would make him kind of protective of Mercedes too, so he'd be watching out for her at school. I think he'd feel the closest to a sibling relationship with her compared to any of the other options, for some reason.

Mike - I think Mike's parents would be too strict. Not to the same level as Quinn's, but enough that it would cause issues and he'd end up acting out.

Rachel - bonus points because they're a Jewish family! So he would really like that aspect. He'd find her dad's weird but generally would like them. I think he'd be resistant to the frequent singing at first but would warm up to it and really enjoy it once he let himself. They'd even get him playing guitar sometimes! His least favourite part is that Rachel would get on his nerves at times, but I think he has a soft spot for her so it wouldn't be a hide issue.
