4, 7, 9, 12 for the ask game <3 (all glee if possible)

Yay, thanks for these Crys! 7 was previously answered so I went ahead and skipped it :)

4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

I don’t ship St. Berry, but I am of the opinion that if it couldn’t be Finn, I’m glad it was Jesse. He and Rachel really are two sides of the same coin and they seem to love each other very deeply and I hope they’re happy together!

9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

Samcedes 😭 they are my emotional support heterosexuals your honor. But also, they are two genuinely good people who care deeply about one another samcedes you will always be endgame to me

12. compliment someone else in your fandom

Okay this is gonna be a lot because I AM going to do all the active fandoms I’m in! So under the read more!

Glee:

First of all you, Crys! And @backslashdelta You are both so talented with your gif making that it kind of drives me insane.

@kurtsascot is probably one of the most talented writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I feel so lucky that we’ve gotten her so late in the game! I feel similarly about @rockitmans and @thelegendofjenna

@esilher @twinkkurt and @justgleekout make the most BEAUTIFUL fanart I’ve ever seen, and I also wanna thank @carsonphillips for klainegifs and keeping the fandom interesting with their events!

@somefeministtheatrepls is not only an amazing friend but the most thoughtful beta reader and honestly partner in my writing?? Writing is much less stressful because I don’t even worry about things being clunky or weird because I know her ass will help that chapter SHINE

@nancysgillians @kurthummeldeservesbetter also get shoutouts because they are wonderful people to have in your life

Newsies:

I could fill novels with how much I love and appreciate @somanywords! Their amazing storytelling and also volunteering to make art for the MiniBang I hosted earlier this year??? On top of listening to my insane ramblings?? They don’t make em like this anymore folks

@one-paper-bag is also SOOOOOO incredibly talented with their art, and their lovely comments on my Spider-Man AU keep me going (on GOD we are gonna get you another chapter ON GOD!!!!)

@livesincerely and @agentsnickers are some of the most prolific and INSANELY TALENTED writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, and also genuinely lovely people! You know when you see someone on your dash and ur just like “wow. I hope they are having a FANTASTIC day and life. They deserve one.”

@piedoesnotequalpi and @regina-cordium are also so incredibly FUNNY and have the most correct takes on every single newsie and that’s on that ❤️

911:

I’m relatively new to this fandom, so I don’t know a ton of people yet, but there are def people I see on my dash that I have noticed!

@cranberrymoons @lesbianrobin @insertlovelyperson have written some of my absolute FAAAAAAVE fics! I feel like they really have a handle on who the characters are in a way that’s true to the show and kind of difficult to pull off!

@texasbama makes amazing gifs and honestly anytime I see her on my dash I laugh bc genuinely she’s so funny. Also on the list of hilarious contributors is @buckgettingstruck

And a couple of people who I think have genuinely great vibes are @buckera @leathercouchcushion and @yaz-the-spaz

And of course I can’t talk about 911 without a second mention to @regina-cordium who puts up with all my Texas!Buddie nonsense andbansndbsk

Okay yeah so that was a LOT sorry!! I didn’t mean for it to get so long BUT I do mean every single word! I’m really blessed to have met so many amazing people through fandom and my experience on this site has been nothing less than superb because of yall ❤️

[deliciouspirateangel]

the replies in that dr frank n furter poll is actually insane. the way ppl truly misunderstand the intentions behind that character astounds me

God the way I was on my glee blog and saw you reblogged that poll and was about to message YOU about it…

First of all, the children do not know queer history. Many such cases. Sad.

Second of all, im sorry the creator of the musical had an 80 year old man opinion on transitioning that isn’t totally PC, but he literally described himself as genderfluid (in his own words) before. You think he wrote a whole musical just to make fun of himself??? You don’t think that could’ve been an exploration of anything personal for him??? Guess not 🤷🏻

Third of aaaall. You know how much flack fucking. Heartstopper gets?? One of the fluffiest and chillest pieces of queer media there is?? Gets shit all over bc it isn’t an accurate representation of 100% of queer people on earth’s experiences. How is Rocky Horror supposed to save itself alsjdhdjsk

There is no one singular piece of queer media that every single person under the lgbtqia++ umbrella will hold up as a beacon of self acceptance, self understanding, and entertainment. But in the meantime, a ton of queer people of all ages from all walks of life under all letters of the queer alphabet LOVE Rocky Horror. This queer bitch right here fucking loves it too!! And that’s all that matters ♥️♥️♥️

Also I do reeeally wanna fuck Frank n Furter

[angelhummel]

yknow what i’m GLAD you brought it up bc i’ve been doing to talk about it for a fuckin hot minute

ppl will readily praise the uht for shit that that they condemn rachel, mercedes, and tina for (aka the canonically unpopular girls imagine that). they want complex female characters that fit into conventions that they already have set in their minds for what a female character should be.

and some you brought it up i also wanna say that i BEG ppl to understand that a female character being “complex” doesn’t necessarily mean that “its okay for her to constantly be mean and belittle others in the name of girl power 🤩”. i feel like should’ve progressed past that by now

listen its the same fucking reason why coven is the most popular season of american horror story aklsfjslk

ryan murphy's dumb ass is over here patting himself on the back for hiring older women and having a diverse cast and writing stories about the underdogs and then he just throws in a handful of skinny (mostly) white conventionally attractive girls to constantly insult everyone else and talk about how ugly and unfuckable every single fat/black/asian/old/disabled/jewish/gay/trans character is. bruh its sooo exhausting

look i love santana but its always some of her worst fucking character moments that get praised and put in those fucking "iconic santana moments" compilation videos that i cant staaand. its so annoying and gross, its not funny, its not revolutionary, they arent good character moments. its just lame and sad and disappointing

Summary: He sat alone at a table in a quaint, little coffee shop in the city. He chose this shop, because he knew that it was never particularly crowded. He was going to need every ounce of privacy that he could get.

He was well over halfway through his first cup of coffee when a voice requested his attention — a voice that he was all too familiar with.

“Y’know, I’m honestly surprised you were willing to meet with me.”

Kurt turned, taking in a figure that he had not seen organically in just over three years. Even then, something about looking at the older man made his heart skip in ways that he did not want to think about.

Tropes/Genre: age!gap, future!fic, angst, long one shot, song fic based on Taylor Swift's All Too Well

Lynne's review: Excellent! I couldn't stop reading. Heartbreaking, yet loving. Loved it.

Thanks to @cryscendo for the tag and for past tags and to everybody else who has tagged me in the past and then I haven't made a post... I appreciate every time I get tagged, I've just been kinda drowning in work lately and haven't had time to write.

BUT I'm going to share a little bit I wrote several months ago for tbosas au which has been living rent free in my head for a while - I started outlining this back in December, and will hopefully eventually get to write it all! This is more than 6 sentences because fuck the rules <3

“And there he is, Blaine Anderson himself,” Santana announces to their small group. “They can’t give him the prize, right? He already has enough handed to him, being an Anderson.” Blaine catches Sebastian’s eye for just a moment before Sebastian can turn back to the group, and he starts to walk over. “Which is ridiculous anyway, he’s district. He doesn’t even belong here but he still has everything handed to him? It makes no sense.” As Blaine walks up to the group, Santana plasters a sickeningly sweet smile across her face. “Hi, Blaine.” “Hi Santana,” Blaine greets her quickly, then looks to Sebastian. “Hey, Bastian.” Sebastian cringes a little, hates it when Blaine calls him that, like they’re the best of friends, hates that being associated with Blaine makes everyone else question his own place here, too; he doesn’t need his status being questioned, it’s hard enough fooling them all as it is without Blaine getting in the way. But Blaine knows what Sebastian’s life is, Blaine’s whole family knows, and it’s humiliating but he can’t help it, needs to stay on Blaine’s good side so that at least he’ll keep it to himself.

Going to tag @daisyishedwig @esperantoauthor @blurglesmurfklaine @kurtsascot @calsvoid @fallevs and anybody else who wants to do this! (I know some of you already got tagged but I'm double tagging you because I want to and fuck the rules <3)

[hevanderson]

hevans + “things you said at 1am” pretty please 🥺👉👈

of course!! here it is! sorry it took me a while, i got distracted with other projects, but! i hope you like it! enjoy some very mildly angsty hevans where they discuss what could've been ..

the ship prompt game is here, and i am still taking requests!

[kurtsascot]

for the drabble prompt thing!! klaine pls obvi:

1. roommate!au

2. enemies to lovers

32. “shut up for a second, will you?”

~

Kurt was under the impression that grunted, non-responses and obvious headphones-in-ear articulated that he wanted to be left alone.

Yet, Blaine’s still blabbering.

Kurt crumples up another terrible sketch. He can’t work like this. “Just- Shut up for a second, will you?” He glares at Blaine across the breakfast bar. “I’m in the middle of something.”

Blaine leans over the granite with a smile and a glint in his eye. “Make me.”

“You’re so fucking obnoxious,” Kurt bites and throws the wad at Blaine’s face.

He laughs and retreats to his room.

Kurt’s cheeks stay flushed long after he’s left.

send me another prompt

[gleesongtournament]

in my brain, run joey run has always won the whole thing. i know it lost ages ago but no it didnt not to me ❤️ nobody understands music like us

honestly i think this whole thing is rigged bc if the people really were heard, we all know the winning song would OBVIOUSLY be mister william schuester's thong song mash up. however, no one is ready to hear it, but we all know the truth #votersuppression <3

Everyone being upset about the finals, but no one is seeking justice for My Cup smh. Who hates women now? Support women who make original content guys

❤️💚🏳️‍🌈

❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

consuming media is something so personal actually and i love how it's like a character takes a million branching paths to become a collective of everyone's individual perceptions like an infinitely layered superposition that never collapses. that said there are many fics where blaine is buttoned up and well adjusted like ?? he's a disaster? and not in the cute spilled coffee way.

just characters that have a disconnect between what canon implies and what fandom desperately wants to believe. tina is this way too. i feel like people just pretend she stayed goth and opinions on her personality in later seasons are mixed to the point of no consensus.

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

responded here but i will add that blaine is sometimes portrayed as emotionally demanding and prone to complaining but like... in dynamic duets he was going to transfer back to dalton without telling anyone. in tested he didn't say a word about his insecurities and watched porn about it instead. he didn't say anything on how he felt about kurt graduating until he got dragged to couples counselling.

🏳️‍🌈: Which character who is commonly headcanoned as queer doesn't seem queer to you?

i feel like i don't have enough awareness of people's headcanons to answer this properly. also... easy enough to attribute things to comphet. there is always room for possibility :)

thank you for the ask! this was fun to think about

[angelhummel]

nobody was ready to hear this but santana WOULD have sex with kurt and it would’ve been such a serve if he had won the tournament (and in my mind he did 🥰)

i was ready to hear it bc i agree and we're so right. santana would peg him without hesitation like what are friends for?? i didnt expect him to sweep the whole thing but if you dont think the bushwick gang had a threesome in canon well then you just didnt watch the same show buddy asljfslk

[deliciouspirateangel]

rip to that person’s dni but i love toxic ships in fact i think most ships should actually be more toxic the more problematic the better

And if they aren’t toxic then they will be by the time I’m through ✍🏻👩🏼‍💻📝

[backslashdelta]

2, 4, 23 <3

CRYS hi tysm for the ask <3

2. a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!

Unfortunately I have not remembered anything new in the last 10 minutes since I answered my previous ask, so I'm still not sure </3

4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

I'm gonna go with faberry here, and the nice thing I'll say is that I think they really are a Dynamic. Like I See It. There is soooo much tension and potential there and I can absolutely see why people lose it over them. Not really for me personally but I See You faberry shippers. I see you.

23. the fandom you're curious about because of a mutual

Gonna have to say wwdits because of @karofsky. His art is the reason that I've warmed up to Kurtofsky as a ship, and seeing all of the art he makes now for wwdits definitely has me 👀 about it. Idk that I'll ever actually watch it because I'm bad about watching new things, but I certainly am intrigued.

love your fandom asks
