#brittana asks

[tuiyla]

Brittany is also a trilingual queen - she can speak English, Spanish and the language she invented in middle school (the couple that are trilingual together stays together).

Oh true lmao. Well I think Brittany is probs the only true trilingual queen at McKinley.

Calling Santana trilingual is probably a stretch but I love that she's the only one, iirc, to sing in three languages. I die for her French verse in Bad Romance not including that in the episode was criminal behaviour.

As a POC I could not handle any longer the way they excused Lea's actions on the Glee subreddit. I left permanently because of it. It angered me the day someone on the sub said that Lea apologised. Lea did not apologise. More than enough times, I've seen Lea be defended on that sub and people get upvoted for it and I couldn't stand it any longer.

The tipping point for me was that people started to say that Santana fans can't keep their feelings about Naya separate but at the same time they're known strong Rachel fans and Rachel defenders and have shown support to Lea multiples all the while being overly-critical about Santana. It was just brewing into hypocritical territory for me.

As a teen, Naya helped me in ways that's hard to explain. Her passing affected me deeply. To see that a few people, going off of the multiple upvotes, were agreeing with comments made accusing Santana fans of mixing their feelings about Naya with Santana in an unhealthy manner was hurtful. Lea fans also double down on putting Rachel on a pedstal to not talk about Lea's past actions on the glee sub but it's not spoken about.

So grateful that you spoke up about this major issue when it comes to Lea on the Glee sub. Your willingness to speak up about the issues on the Glee sub makes me feel less alone.

Omg thank you! That's so nice of you to say. I really do try to steer away from real people on this blog because I want to be primarily media-based. But the Glee sub makes me so fucking mad. They're the definition of performative activism and double standards. Supporting and/or forgiving Lea is just shitty, no matter how many times they try to justify it.

Naya- and Heather- helped me a lot too. They brought to life one of the healthiest, most important sapphic couple of the 2010s (my username was inspired by them lol, that's why they were my old pfp). They made me feel okay to be myself and comfortable in my sexuality. Her passing affected me for a long time too, it was like I couldn't process it.

I know exactly what you're talking about, when people would accuse Santana fans of conflating Santana because of Naya's passing. Like, right after it happened. It was really an awful thing to say because a woman was dead. Her life and memory were more important than their favorite character getting shit. They're vile.

If anyone can't separate the actor from the character it's Finn fans. Cory was a great guy- people always said him and Dianna were the nicest of the cast- and he also passed while the show was still running. A lot of Finn's "likability" came from Cory's charisma and comedic timing. If Cory was still alive I really don't think as many people would defend Finn.

(Tbh, I think Cory himself would shit on Finn. His mom once said that Santana slapping Finn was his favorite scene)

I also feel like people (including other POCs) don't actually understand why Lea was (is?) racist. Racism isn't just "I hate minorities and don't think they deserve rights." It's way more complicated than that. Lea might not have been throwing the n-word around (though, she was derogatory at least towards Samantha with that "shit in her wig" comment), but she absolutely viewed her being white as being superior to her WOC coworkers.

It's a pretty common thing for Black girls. Hell, I even experienced it from girls I called my friends. They're so "down✊🏾" but will be quick to remind you how more cultured and better than you they are.

If you haven't been taught about or experienced these things, you won't know that. But attempting to shut down WOC who have experienced it is shitty. Lea fans trip over themselves to defend someone who went out of her way to bully a younger Black coworker just because she could.

(Also, she was outwardly transphobic. Not letting anyone forget that either. If she was so willing to be transphobic, what makes you think she wasn't racist?)

Lea fans have no excuse. I liked and looked up to JKR too, but the people she hurt (and continues to hurt) are more important than how much I admired her or how much I enjoyed Harry Potter. I was disgusted by her and had no issues condemning her. Lea fans are hypocritical, self-righteous performative activists

What would you do if you’re a Showrunner/writer on glee?

I don't think i have the abilities and qualifications to write a tv show, but i notice when the writers are becoming lazy and when there are flaws in the writing bc these flaws arrive at the spectator who watches the show. One the first things i would do is make faberry canon like it was intended in the first script of glee (there was a script before the pilot in which the popular cheerleader fell in love with the girl loser of the school, but the idea/project was abandoned). I would give more space to wlw pairings bc while the mlm rep in glee was diverse and deepened, the wlw rep was okay thanks to brittana but had too little screen time. So i would make two wlw pairing (faberry and brittana) have more development and space in the show. I would defo treat quinn's character arc way better than ryan murphy, i wouldn't have throwed that character in the trash after s3, i would have developed her personal story more and her relationship with rachel. Quinn is a very queer coded character, so i would have prob given more space to her journey of coming to terms with her sexuality (prob would have made her a lesbian who struggled a lot with comphet in highschool bc of her rigid catholic upbringing). I also would not make quinn end up with her r@pist (puck got her drunk to have sex with her even though she didn't want to, the consent was basically nonexistent and pretty dubious so that's why i consider him a rapist).

Another change i would make is give more performances to characters like santana and mercedes bc as much as i love rachel, i feel like amber's and naya's talent were underused. I would have given less solos to kurt and more to them.

I would also make rachel bisexual cos there's no way that girloser does not like women, and what i would do is make her "experiment"/have a sort of friendship with benefits with Santana in s4 cos before they broke apart they were pretty close and had a nice intimacy and chemistry, Santana had broken up with Brittany, so i think a thing between them in which rachel full blown realises she likes girls too (and later realises she had always been in love with quinn/had a crush on quinn since highschool) and Santana trying out different bonds with girls before understanding she wants brittany only, would have been nice to make both characters grow and mature.

I would keep the quinntana one night stand bc i feel like that was really important for quinn to finally accept she liked girls and therefore that rachel had always been the one she really wanted. But how would that work if you plan to make Santana bang both rachel and quinn ? Well i would simply make rachel a thing with santana at the end of s4, after santana and quinn's one night stand (it doesn't even have to be necessarly sex or a physical relationship, but a bond in which rachel starts to see santana in a different light and finds her really hot and starts questioning herself and santan teases her about it but also gives her a wake up call "you're bi gayberry" or something like that, these are the two options).

I would keep kurt and blaine as they are but i wouldn't have made blaine have a thing with karosfky, that was just foul.

Also less performances from mr. Schue bc what the fuck was blurred lines.

[calsvoid]

santana for the character ask

character ask

version 2 — give me a character and i will tell you

how i feel about this character:

she’s my baby my daughter my little princess also she’s so me as we’ve discussed in the glumblr server lol i’m so happy about her getting her happy ending it’s everything she deserved and more she’s iconic she’s sexy she’s perfect and evil and where would we be without her lines

all the people i ship romantically with this character:

obvs brittana they’re perfect and i still am in shock they got together

pezberry, i am obsessed with fucked up relationships and i just think they’re so fun like i desperately needed them to have hate fucked multiple times throughout their lives

quinntana, except romantically is kinda a stretch. in my head, they work as weird fwb who also kinda hate each other sometimes and would probably kill each other if they got together properly

my non-romantic OTP for this character:

blaintana my beloved they’re my everything the true lesbian gay solidarity friendship the world (me) needed. i love all their moments, they’re so cute but also she’s this close to stealing his coffee and splashing it onto his face

unholy trinity save me save me unholy trinity. they’re so funny together and i love how they canonically are just really in sync with one another because yknow friendship (and obsession but shh)

also pezberry because as much as i love them with their sexually charged rivalry, i also love them just being besties. i’m so happy they made their relationship better (sorta) in the later seasons and it’s just adorable and i love them both so much

honorary mention for my sebtana step cousins hc because of course i have to talk about them. literally no basis in it for canon except like a handful of scenes one of which was deleted and all of which sebastian was being an annoying prick, which i ran with and decided to make them be each other’s least favorite/most favorite (step) cousin and please help this was just a funny idea and now it’s like a permanent part of my fanon universe

my unpopular opinion about this character:

i don’t think i have one?? i usually go with the popular stuff i feel like

the closest i can think of is that i hated the double wedding (it was cute but what the fuck do not fucking improvise a wedding hello marriage is very serious don’t do that) but that’s more to do with my issues with anxiety than it does santana

one thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

they should’ve had pezberry fuck. also more furtana

my OTP:

brittana <33333333 they’re literally perfect for each other still can’t believe they’re wives

my crossover ship:

i’m not a big crossover fan rip so none

a headcanon fact:

hates horror movies (i think glumblr was talking about it earlier) she’d insult them a bunch to make it seem like she thinks they’re bad instead of she’s scared. would watch one for brittany though because that’s the love of her life

[melancholydreamers]

What are the most underrated Brittany moments/lines in Glee in your opinion? One of my favourites is her saying “Score” in response to Santana saying “Brittany will always be my girlfriend” in Saturday Night Glee-Ver 😂 and the whole “I once told a guy I had three v chinas” in S6

Ooo those are such great scenes! I think my favourite most underrated Brittany lines are when she was in baking class with Tina and she was hesitant about cracking an egg and she looked at it all sad eyes.“What’s the difference between an egg with a baby chicken inside of it and an egg with an egg in it?” Then Tina’s all like “😑it’s the same thing!🙄”, then Britt goes to say, “this is a baby chickens house🥺” like plss she is so precious! Her little pout and her confusion😭 plus Tina getting annoyed is so funny cuz it’s literally just an egg, but ofc Britt is totally valid!

Another one is when she said her favourite song was “My Headband” by Rachel Berry, I second that, cuz she obviously has great taste in songs

And those moments that I adore from her are when she would dance and groove to all of the “bad” glee performances! Like “Afternoon Delight”, babe was jamming to that song😭 and when Sugar sang “Big Spender” and when Rachel had laryngitis and sang “The Climb” omg she loved it, she was so supportive

During s2 prom when she was like “So? I don’t have a date, I’m just gonna dance, then all of your dates are gonna ignore you and come dance with me, so your dates are really my dates” 😭 her confidence tho!

This one is super underrated and ppl probably don’t even know it unless they payed super attention to Britt, but it was during “Rumors” when Finn and Rachel were angrily singing “Go Your own Way” and it cuts to Britt and she’s just aggressively snapping along with a pout on her face😭 like omg that was adorable for no reason. And then it cuts to Santana in the back looking at her and San slightly nods her head like “yeah” loll

I’ll add a gif so you know what I’m talking about lol XD

And here’s her in Afternoon Delight!!

Adorable! Right!

[unholy-fabray]

yet another AU that literally no one asked for: Mad Max AU!!

the Furiosa trailer infected me with Mad Max brainrot again after nearly a decade, so have some warboy Brittana. Brittany would totally be a polecat, swinging around on one of those trapeze looking things (like this) and Santana would be her partner/driver.

I have ideas for Quinn and Rachel too... but for now, here's their rig (WIP):

[mdverse]

In the vb au the girls are the protagonists obviously and Finn and Kurt have prominent roles as well, what about the other guys? Do they have some sort of relevance or are they just there to cheer for the girls?

some of them are relevant yeah! sam and mike both work with the team (sam is the assistant coach and mike is their physio) so they'll be around a bunch. blaine is also technically there in that he's dating kurt but i'm actually still not really sure what i'm doing with that storyline so that might get revised. oh and i assume u were talking mainly about the glee club boys but karofsky makes an appearance as well (back when i was actually in the mood to draft the fic i almost got to that part and then i got stuck on some of the stuff leading up to that lol)

for the others... artie and puck might get lil cameos if i can figure out the details of those bc i would like them to both appear at some point (they don't appear together but lowkey now that i'm thinking of it they could still know each other or sth. idk i'll think about it). elliott might also be included as a friend of kurt's? jesse might get mentioned as well? and i've promised bella a small wes cameo so he'll make an appearance eventually. but overall these guys don't have big roles at all

[yeastymuffin]

Top 5 Brittana moments?☺️

okay wait, this is actually hard... let. me. thinK.

I've done enough thinking I'm just putting some of my favourites here that are loosely ranked and may vary depending on my mood.

Honourable mention:

Santana helping Brittany with stuff. For example, in Wheels Brittany raises her left hand instead of her right and Santana's like 'it's this one' and corrects her. Or during Damnit Janet Santana helps her read the lines. I just think they're cute background moments.

5. I don't really have a proper reason for Valerie s5 , but I still feel like it belongs here. I just love two happy gay gals dancing

4. Landslide was my third most streamed song on Spotify and my third most streamed Glee song (my whole top 5 was Glee songs, i won't apologise and i have zero regrets). It was probably the most important moment in the whole series for Santana and even for Brittany it was a key moment that proves her love and support and loyalty for Santana. So yeah, great song, meaningful moment. One of my favs.

3. The churros kiss of course had to be in here somewhere. I remember screaming the first time i saw it. And I will scream every time is see it.

2. I love love love Brittana during Toucha Toucha Touch me, especially at the end when they're running through the hallway and they're just dancing and prancing. Again, I love seeing two happy gay gals dancing.

Maybe it's because i just saw a gif set of it, but the s3 valentine's episode where they're sitting at the table and Santana kisses Brittany's hands during cherish/cherish has gotta be my favourite. The moment where Brittany presses her cheek in Santana's hands and of course their kiss at the end of the song are also fantastic, but specifically Santana kissing Brittany's hands is just the epitome of tenderness and love for me.

LOOK AT THESE CUTIES

Okay let's wrap up my ramblings. I'm sure there are plenty more i cannot think of now

[tuiyla]

Got more fav non verbal Brittana moments? :0

Of course 😌 so glad you asked 😉

We'll do 5 + 1, the plus one being The Smile of course. Hold on let me look up what my tag for it is. Oh so it's the same as the pre-Mine quote's but yeah you get it you get it you know why it's number one. And then, hmm. Great thing about Brittana is that they have so many great background moments. We'll exclude kisses otherwise this post would be me going insane over the Tongue Tied kiss. In order of how I remember them:

Heart, during Rory's solo no one remembers - the Smile, but also Brittany grabbing Santana's arm to link it with hers. Awww

Sorry I don't have time to gif all these 😫😫 although 👀 Maybe eventually. When Artie gets his head OUT OF MY SHOT geez boy move there's lesbian activity going on

2. Any time Hemo does anything with her hands but THIS my god this moment right after Alfie

Okay technically a kiss I guess but also the handhold and cupped cheek UGHH I'm crazy weak for them

3. This moment during Take My Breath Away counts right?

can't find the Brittany side of this rn but god I melt for it, she's so suave istg

(I guess cute moments during songs could be its own category)

4. Santana drawing a heart when she votes for Britt for senior class president 😭😭😭 lose my mind over that. the silly goose even kisses the piece of paper and Britt isn't even there but I just find this so precious

5. Britt casually stroking Santana's legs during What I Did For Love

okay shit image and so minor but I told you I go insane over Hemo's hands

BONUS because I wanted another cute moment during a song only I'm cheating because this is during Hand in My Pocket/I Feel the Earth Move and ALL of that performance is the cutest shit I've ever seen but this:

I'll never get over this. Santana guiding them to the choir room back row before she proposes,,,,, once again it's all about THAT quote

[yourstreetserenade]

hey! i used to religiously read your fic about rpdr x glee and i just remembered it this weekend and revisited it, soo so good. i was wondering if you’ve written any other canon-adjacent fics or if there are any you particularly like? so much left out in the show!

Hey! Thanks for reading my story. I need to get back into the groove of writing. I've been without a laptop for the better part of like 9 ish months so it's hard. I just need someone to hold my hand and tell me what kind of laptop to buy, I'm so indecisive.

I think my fic 'it was love to me' is another sorta-kinda crossover that works as canon adjacent. It takes place the summer after junior year. Brittany and Santana find themselves on Liberty Avenue with the Queer as Folk (2000,US) gang. People have told me they've read it without watching Queer as Folk and still enjoyed it but I def think knowing the show adds depth. Like knowing all the Brian-isms and the Debbie-isms and such.

Brian and Santana are sexy idiots cut from the same cloth...

And Justin and Brittany are everything good in this miserable stinking world and the only ones capable of touching their hearts...

I made Brittany and Justin cousins in this crossover universe and she drags Santana along as she spends her summer with her favorite cousin and his bitchy boyfriend. Unfortunately it too is unfinished. I have chapters that have been sitting in my drive for years but, anxiety really fucked me up. I felt like I failed this story and could never face it. I won't call it abandoned because in my heart I want to finish it but mental illness is a bitch ya know.

[sapphic-agent]

Just saw your top fav characters, and I love them..... If you don't mind me asking, can I ask, what are your top 7 favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series/etc) and your top 3 favorite ships (can be canon or non canon) from any media ? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this questions before......

Ooh, this is hard!

Favorite Media:

Amphibia (cartoon) - It's been my #1 for a while now. Great plot, characters, and development. It's one of the few series I have almost no criticisms of

DCAU (cartoon) - This is kind of cheating since the DCAU consists of multiple shows but it's my list🤷🏾‍♀️ It's just such an expensive universe and some of the best characterization DC has to offer

ATLA (cartoon) - Though I have been critical of it as of late, I still very much enjoy the show

The Promised Neverland (manga) - Me trying desperately to tell people to ignore season 2 and read the manga because it's peak fiction

Avatar (movies) - Yes, I enjoy the blue people Avatar too. We exist. I love the effects, but I also love the characters and world building

Percy Jackson & The Olympians (books) - My favorite book series of all time. Realistic characters and I love that it calls out the faults of its system unlike a certain other book series (glares at Harry Potter)

One Piece (anime) - I haven't finished it yet, but it's some of the best pieces of world building I've ever experienced

Favorite Ships:

WonderBat (Diana Prince x Bruce Wayne) - Their chemistry in both the DCAU and the DCEU is everything to me. They've always been so elegant together that I can't not like them. Even in the comics where they usually aren't romantic I just like their relationship

Brittana (Brittany Pierce x Santana Lopez) - The sapphic couple of all sapphic couples. No one does it like them

Zolu (Roronoa Zoro x Monkey D. Luffy) - This is a newer ship for me, but it's quickly become one of my favorites. Zoro's devotion to Luffy is a proclamation of love idc what anyone says

Thank you for the ask!

[angelhummel]

not to be a hater i was just thinking about this recently. the biphobia in Glee is so inconsistent with how its addressed.

like i’m pretty sure the ONLY person who ever gets called out for saying anything remotely biphobic is Kurt (which like im glad bc it was a shitty thing to say. tho i think kurt antis use it to frequently paint this rhetoric that kurt is a bad person bc of one (1) shitty thing he said)

meanwhile santana can say shitty things about bisexuality bc shes mad that brittany is dating sam and thats apparently fine???? she really has the idea that brittany is betraying her for penis which is bizarre. also i feel like she enabled dani’s biphobia as well.

i love santana, but i feel like this issue is heavily glossed over by fans while kurt’s comment is apparently bad enough to crucify him :/

I know we've talked about it before but I also just thought of it again recently. Bc there was a poll with Here Comes The Sun and someone in the tags was like "I'll vote for anything over Dani's biphobic ass" and it's like well baby girl Santana's biphobic ass is literally standing right next to her. And people sure don't have a problem voting for Santana's songs despite how blatantly biphobic she also is

And also transphobic, we can throw that in there, bc it's always about Penis and Boys hand in hand like there's no other option. Never mind Unique has been on the show for over a season, let's keep equating dick with gross boys and pussy with beautiful lesbian 100% pure sapphic goddesses 😍😍 Bleh it's like they tried to cram in every last shred of offensive sexual language they could think of into one two minute scene

BUT it's not like I'm judging that specific tagger, or anyone else who dislikes Dani. Bc at least Santana is a character with a million other things going for her besides the worst things she's said (exactly like Kurt hi) whereas Dani had like ten lines in her time on the show and half of them were "sapphic goddess" and "i love lady parts" barf

"She enabled Dani's biphobia as well" yeah literally. She could've just said "I was dating a girl and it didn't work out and we broke up" but she specifically threw "and she was bi" into the middle of it like that's part of the reason they broke up lmao. Santana, who tells Brittany that it's okay for her to date someone new, boy or girl, just to throw a fit when Brittany ends up dating Sam and makes it into some weird thing about her need for dick and how she's Less Than bc she's bi. And telling that to a potential new partner so she can reinforce her shitty stereotypes by also being gross about bi people (: Amazing

And anyway bringing it back to Kurt and double standards but like. That's pretty much the only offensive thing Kurt ever said lmao. Like yeah he said some dumb or thoughtless things here and there but if you take out that one glaring fuck up, you're not really left with anything that bad. Whereas if you extract Santana's biphobia from the equation, you're still left with six seasons of racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, fatphobia...

So yeah :) Double standards, anon, double standards x

[shame-is-a-wasted-emotion]

2, 9, 27 for the salty asks :)

Thank you so much for your questions. Alright so here are my answers:

2.Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?

More like SisTP. Brittana. I have a 101 reason not to ship them. I don't want to start a war but yeah. I see them best as friends or SisTPs. (Sorry not sorry)

9. Most disliked character? Why?

Okay I'm gonna get anon hates after this. Brittany. I absolutely like Santana and I wish for her the best. I never got Brittany as a character. Atleast in the first 3 seasons she was tolerable. Mnay of her plots didn't make any sense. I don't want to elaborate further.

27. Least shippable character?

I'm sure gonna be the death of someone. Brittany obviously. I mean I can't imagine being with her even if she is a bisexual character. Although she's hot and she's my gay awakening, I'm sure she's pretty much traumatized for life in many ways and she won't work out for me.

It's all Brittana hate now. I'm sorry but it's my honest opinion. (Please don't kill me though. I am very aware of how Klaine is messy too but I love them. That's it. And oh, I ship Santana with Quinn).

More questions that you might wanna ask

[kurtsascot]

Why do you not like brittana if you are lesbian?

omg ??? im a lesbian????

[daenystheedreamer]

I stand by my tags for the Brittana vs Rhaenicent poll. If u want me to really agonize over which fucked up toxic wlw pairing to choose, they should’ve pit rhaenicent against a REAL glee contender. Imho the only f/f glee ship that has the level of interpersonal insanity, compulsory heterosexuality, life ruining drama etc of rhaenicent is faberry.

REALLLLL i watched like 3 episodes of glee before i realised it was just.nnot for me (i cant take asian jokes). but i nearly stuck it out for faberry!! actually sue thats a lie but also faberry. two polar opposite MENACES crazy over the same guy so they can have an excuse to be crazy about each other. @ ryan murphy you hate lesban? you hate lesbino? plus added dianna agron which adds nuclear Taylor swift radiation
