pick a fob album and assign a glee character to every song

Hi! Thank you for this ask! I am going to actually answer it this time!

I'm picking American Beauty/American Psycho because I've already tried this with two other albums and failed, and this is the one that I managed to figure out and be sort of happy with the answers lol

Irresistible -> Quinn. This song just gives me skank!Quinn vibes. It's the "I didn't come for a fight but I will fight till the end" and "I love the way you hurt me" and "too many war wounds and not enough wars" and "You're second hand smoke / I breathe you in / but honey I don't know / what you're doing to me."

American Beauty/American Psycho -> Santana. "I think I fell in love again / Maybe I just took too much cough medicine" gives me Santana trying to deny her feelings for Brittany vibes. I feel like she'd just vibe with this, like she's gorgeous but she'll fuck you up, you know?

Centuries -> Rachel. "Some legends are told / Some turn to dust or to gold / But you will remember me / Remember me for centuries" and "And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name" and "I am the opposite of amnesia" PLEASE try to tell me that Rachel Barbra Berry would not listen to this song and let these lyrics go right to her head. This is her SONG.

The Kids Aren't Alright -> Blaine. "And maybe I bit off more than I could chew" and "And in the end / I'd do it all again / I think you're my best friend" and "And your love is anemic and I can't believe / That you couldn't see it coming from me / And I still feel that rush in my veins / It twists my head just a bit to think / All the people in those old photographs I've seen are dead" COME ON BLAINE WOULD LISTEN TO THIS SONG AND HE WOULD HAVE SO. MANY. FUCKING. FEELINGS. You cannot convince me otherwise. It would physically pain him and he would love it.

Uma Thurman -> Sam. "I can move mountains / I can work a miracle, work a miracle / Ooh, oh, oh, I'll keep you like an oath / May nothing but death do us apart" Sam does everything with his whole self okay, he is all in and he will commit and he would do anything in his power to keep those commitments, and I think this would resonate with him because of that.

Jet Pack Blues -> Tina. It's the "When the city goes silent / The ringing in my ears gets violent" and "I think our hands were just that close / The sweetness never lasted, no" and ESPECIALLY "Did you ever love her? Do you know? / Or did you never want to be alone?" I think Tina loves herself but struggles a bit with being alone, and I think this song would really make her feel those feelings.

Novocaine -> Puck. "I will always land on you like a sucker punch" and "Don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun" and "I'm just a problem that doesn't wanna be solved" et cetera. In my mind, Puck is someone who has a hard time thinking he's good enough, and this song has a lot of lines that he would really be able to relate to.

Fourth of July -> Sebastian. "I said I'd never miss you" and "I'll be as honest as you let me / I miss your early morning company" and "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of it / I just got too lonely" and just... if you know, you know.

Favorite Record -> Brittany. This just sounds like a song that Brittany would play for Santana when they're broken up but she wants to get back together. "You were the song stuck in my head / Every song that I've ever loved." And that's that on that.

Immortals -> Jesse. "They say we are what we are, but we don’t have to be / I’m bad behavior but I do it in the best way" and just. Immortals. Jesse fully seems like the kind of guy who could be just full of himself enough to start talking about being immortal; not literally, but metaphorically. About how he's so great and will leave such an impact that it will remain forever, you know? This is sort of the same reason that Rachel for Centuries.

Twin Skeletons (Hotel In NYC) -> Finn. This is very Finn-post-graduation feeling lost and directionless. "And honey I only appeared so I can fade away / I wanna throw my hands in the air and scream" this feels very much Finn spiraling, showing up to NYC to find Rachel living her best life and then just ditching, not knowing what to do with himself. "There's a room in a hotel in New York City" yes Finn, yes there is, and it's the room where you beat the shit out of Brody, asshole.

hiii laura

so i know that you love klaine with your whole heart, but have any big thoughts/headcannons that you have for them changed since you’ve been in the fandom?

Hi Nico ♥

I think that the older I get, the more I understand some of their flaws or hardships. I used to attribute everything I didn't like about them to bad writing, like when they broke up in season 4 and Blaine cheated, or the season 6 break up, but now I think I just understand, you know? Life isn't perfect. Sometimes you break the things you love without meaning to. Sometimes you make mistakes. Sometimes you have mental health issues that need to be worked on before you can fully give yourself to someone else.

I think that's what's changed for me, mostly, in the past decade or so. They're not just two characters I idealize, who are perfect in every way. I don't want them to be. That's boring. That's unrealistic. They fuck up, they have bad days. Sometimes, no matter how much they love each other, they forget to have the other's best interest at heart. They feel more human.

thoughts on blaine’s clothing?

i personally love his dorky style, but i can understand why people don’t

Oh, I think it is great! His outfits aren't always my personal cup of tea, but I appreciate that he has his own individual sense of style and the bright colors and fun patterns seem to reflect his bright personality.

As far as my personal taste, I love the dapper look but sometimes he goes a little too far with mixing colors and patterns. I think my favorite outfits of his involve bold patterns in limited color palettes or multiple patterns in neutral colors. I definitely have a thing for Blaine in red; some of his outfits that feature red are my favorites.

Here are some outfits I like:

Here are some outfits I don't:

Okay I have kept quiet until now about this outfit but NO MORE:

The colors are fine (although I might have preferred black rather than white) but literally his collar looks like an innertube! It has gone completely round and I hate it. That is not how collars should look. Not every polo shirt can handle a tie and this is one of them. It ruins the whole outfit for me.

hellooo becky

random puckurt thought: kurt and puck do spa days every once in a while. puck always gets really into it and maybe just a bit too excited ("i only got some of the charcoal mask on the couch once")

Hi yes you are correct.

Puck would absolutely love spa days. The first few times he was resistant and Kurt had to talk him into it, but then once he realizes how great it is, it's more often than not him who insists on the spa days.

He is very vocal about how great spa days are, too. Not just to Kurt but to anyone who will listen. And anytime someone so much as implies that it's maybe not very "manly" of him, they get a very long and impassioned lecture about toxic masculinity and how men deserve to pamper themselves and, actually, going to the spa is one of the manliest things you can do, if you really think about it.

hmmmm do you speak esperanto??

also like, why is it not offered in schools

did people give up on it??

(i know very little about it but am very interested)

like i guess english has become what esperanto was supposed to be??

like as far as i know, a lot of students in non english speaking countries are taught english in schools

why english??

(i'm sorry, this ask turned into me ranting, feel free to ignore)

Hi Nico, thank you for coming into my ask with linguistics questions because I am *always* excited to talk language stuff! I’m going to answer your questions with some quotes from my favorite book on the topic: In the Land of Invented Languages by Arika Okrent (2010).

Do I speak Esperanto? No. I’m actually awful at learning languages (my Spanish proficiency was hard won) so I have no desire to try to acquire it. 

Why is it not offered in schools? Well, it isn’t in the U.S. but according to Wikipedia it is actually taught in schools in China. For more information, click here.

Did people give up on it? Sort of? It definitely hasn’t become what Zamenhof (it’s inventor) dreamed for it but the movement decidedly lives on. There is an annual World Esperanto Congress which was founded in 1905 and continues on to this day. Esperanto has cultural artifacts like books and music, written in the language.

“Esperanto did not become an auxiliary language for the whole world, but it did become a real, living language, and in the small sphere of people who use it, it does seem to promote a general atmosphere of international understanding and respect.” (255)

“‘Success’ is probably not the first word that comes to mind when you think of Esperanto, but in the small, passionate world of invented languages there has never been a bigger one.” (85)

Finally, Zamenhof himself said his vision might take centuries to achieve, so who knows? 

Has English become what Esperanto was supposed to be? Yes, pretty much.

Why English? Because of British Imperialism 

P.S. Nico, the book I mentioned at the beginning has a whole section about the revival of Hebrew!

hiiiii

what first got you into taylor swift??

hi thank you for the ask!!!!

omg so like,,, i had a birthday party (idk what birthday it was lol but i think around og fearless era??) my best friend at the time just like was singing the chorus to “you belong with me” i guess and she taught me the lyrics and i think that caused me to look up the music video and stuff and be obsessed with the song lol 

it probably wasn’t the first time i’d heard a taylor song bc i grew up in country music land and we played country radio in the car 😂 but yeah i’d say that was my introduction to her and then i like watched all her music videos and behind the scenes videos religiously and i didn’t know how albums worked until like 2012 or something lmao and then i got back into her (a lot more like,, “fully” with albums and stuff idk lol) when my mom showed me her amas blank space performance 🤪 

anyway that was way more than what you actually asked sorry 😂
