pretending from glee…. truly one of the best songs in that show

[angelhummel]

actually the 3x05 finchel dinner scene is great as it provides ample subtextual evidence towards lesbian!rachel bc finn forcing rachel to unknowingly consume meat when she’s vegan is just foreshadowing to later in the episode when finn will force rachel to take a different kind of meat that she also doesnt want inside of her

My top 10 ships

I haven't done this in forever, and I was bored and didn't feel like working so.....felt like an appropriate thing to do instead.

My top 10 ships!

#1 Polin - Bridgerton

Did you really anticipate anyone else being at my top spot? Friends to lovers....Swoon! They have my heart, soul, and life. I literally love a girl who knows what she wants and a man who loves the fuck out of her like no other so this is like porn and comfort. Give me everything tonight and more!

#2 Captain Swan - OUAT

If you aren't going to give me friends to lovers, I'll move over to Enemies and find my kind because holy hot out of hell, there is nothing better than Captain Hook and his smolder winning over Emma Swan. Fuck that man can burn! Years after that show ended and I can still sit in them and ruminate and catch myself on fire.

#3 Clois - Smallville

There have been a lot of different Lois and Clark's out there, but none have been Erica Durance and Tom Welling. I've never been so happy and angry with a show in all my life. I used to wish so much against Lana Lang that I am embarrassed my own behavior. But I truly loved the banter and way these two brought these characters to live. It was marvelous.

#4 Reylo - Star Wars

Being a Reylo shipper was like being sentenced to death and hell all at the same time for many years. We were bullied, tortured, shat on, and then given everything we wanted in 30 seconds only for them to fucking KILL HIM after a sacrifice. I have never both smiled, cried, and then curled into a ball in a theater so quickly that I wanted to die before. Even my family ridiculed me. It was torture but I still live there. I still ship it and you cannot make me stop!!

#5 Fitzsimmons - Agents of Shield

The brilliant science couple put through so much that even they thought they were cursed. Pushed to find each other across time and space, kidnapped into a matrix, forced to fight one another, half the couple killed, duplicate versions of themselves, but champions of the hug, star crossed and so full of love. Friends to lovers, he fell first, she fell harder and GOD I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR!

#6 Starpollo - Battlestar Galactica

A couple who knew how to tear out my heart, throw it to the ground, and then trample it with their feet to ashes. While Lee and Kara were not destined to end up together, they damn sure made it hard not to want them to find a way. They truly loved each other more than anyone they were with in the show, but guilt always found a way to fuck that up for them. God it hurt to love you two.

#7 Romanogers - Marvel Universe

Let's talk crack ships because oh how they break your heart. But it is glorious. This one is mine. I will forever love Nat and Steve and I will live in the space and time that they were on the road together living their lives without a banner. Because you can't tell me what they got up to! I refuse to believe you! But let's not talk about how it all ended because my heart still hurts and I don't like to talk about it!

#8 Finchel - Glee

Since I'm already ripping my heart out, let's go all the way with it. Finchel has always been that ship that tears my heart to shreds. I was all in from the characters to the actors and I'll never honestly get over it. I'll probably always bleed Finn and Rachel, Cory and Lea. And I'll never be able to talk about it to normal people. It was something I lived, breathed, and honestly part of me died with. So I think that's enough of that.

#9 Caryl - The Walking Dead

You can call this whatever it is, some say crack ship, I say...otherwise. It's my ship of ships for TWD. It's my coming home ship. Because that's what they are to each other. They are love. No one tell me otherwise, I live there, I love there. So do they. Deal with it.

#10 Roschel - Friends

Look, say what you want, but I stayed home on Thursday nights just to watch whether they would or wouldn't. Nothing grabbed me like these two. They were lobsters, they were on a break, I didn't give a fuck what it was, only that they had me in a chokehold and that's what I realized what shipping was. Because dammit, I wanted whatever feeling it was. And thus the 9 people above because the passion I sought. So bless it, they needed to be here.

And there you have it, my top 10 ships! Hope you enjoyed! Feel free to add your own :)

Some Wardrobe/Color Symbolism

are all these observations incredibly obvious and don’t even need to be stated? probably! did the show even care this much? …probably not!

Throughout season 1, Rachel and Quinn are constantly being presented as complete polar opposites of each other. But in Sectionals, after Rachel tells Finn the truth about Quinn and Puck, Rachel goes to talk to Quinn about it. She apologizes and says she understands if Quinn wants to hit her, but Quinn says Rachel just did what she was too scared to do. Despite the difference in everything about them, they’re both dressed in blue (which is a color I think glee tends to use to symbolize unity? Team work? A sense of sameness?) As of this moment, they’re on equal level now. Quinn even states a reason why out loud: “now neither of us have [Finn]”.

However, because Finchel is pushed so heavily throughout season 1, there’s never any doubt in our minds that Finn likes Rachel more lol. (I feel like the will they or won’t they have Finchel in season 1 is pretty weak because the pacing was just soo fast for them.) But, regardless of the Finn connection between them, Quinn and Rachel are the same deep down: just teenage girls. They can be selfish, and catty, but at the end of the day they’re both girls just trying their best. Quinn lied about Finn being the father out of fear and self preservation, even if it was selfish to do. Rachel told Finn about the lie because it was genuinely the right thing to do, but as well out of her own self interests and she herself admits this (“I wanted to break you two up”). It’s not about who’s right or wrong, in my opinion, obviously there’s a difference in weight in both their actions, but we can understand where both were coming from and I think this moment showed a new understanding between them.

Compared to their duet in Born This Way, where they’re represented by blue and red, and glee has a wholeee blue vs red theme they use often that I’ll get into one day (and usually the use of both is meant to show a character’s mind being at a halfway point between a decision). Even though they’re both feeling insecure, neither really understands the other’s POV yet, especially Rachel towards Quinn because in Rachel’s mind, Quinn is everything she’s not and she doesn’t get that Quinn can be just as insecure as she can. Even the distance between them where they sit in the choir room is greater.

In Mash-Up, Ken takes out his frustration towards Will on the members of the football team who are also in the glee club by scheduling conflicting practice. During this scene where Will goes to talk to him, they’re both wearing light and navy blue. Considering Ken usually wore single color (usually highlight bright) polos, so this I think this was deliberate for this reason:

They’re both teachers who ultimately want to put their students first. Despite the childishness of his actions before this, Ken still realizes how he can’t let his personal issues get in the way of his student’s happiness which is why he ends up moving practice so the football players can still attend glee after this.

And, maybe a lot less purposeful but something I got out of this season:

As for Will, while his clothes are more “professional”, and at this point of the show Emma idolizes him in a way that puts him in a different league from Ken, he’s no stranger to putting his own petty drama above the kids needs come season 2 (Britney/Brittany, Rocky Horror Glee Show) either. As much as Emma despises Ken and wants Will, Will’s going to end up breaking her trust by cheating on her in Hell-o, which will result in her losing her hero worship of him and seeing him as a person instead of an idealized version of him, which puts him back on the same level of Ken as “just some guy” and it’s not until season 2 does Emma start to see Will as an option again.

Ranking the Glee Endgame Ships

(Finchel included because it would have been Endgame)

Brittana: Yes I love them unconditionally and no I will not apologize for it. Pure love in its truest form (no I won't be taking criticism stay mad💁🏾‍♀️)

Sue/Sue: The best ship, no questions asked. Also means Sue won't subject a romantic partner to her toxicity which is a surprising amount of (probably unintentional) responsibility from her

Samcedes: They're cute. I know they're not "officially" endgame but it's implied they get back together eventually right? I really liked their healthy communication in season 6 even if they did break up afterwards

St. Berry: Soulmates frfr. Jesse's a prick, but outside of season 1 treats her so well and always pushes her to be her best. I think Rachel really taught him how to love. Also just so much chemistry

Wemma: Only reason it's not ranked higher is because Will doesn't always do right by her (like when he let her ableist parents make him doubt his relationship with her😐). They're a pretty solid couple overall though

Finchel: They have their cute moments, but it's hard to get into them when they have so many issues, a lot of which were never addressed. Finn only pursued her when he couldn't have her *cough* when she was with Jesse *cough* and otherwise complained about her constantly. Rachel was more likeable when she wasn't with him tbh (like in the majority of season 2)

Artina: Why even have them get back together? They broke up in season 2 when he treated her like garbage and then she was happy with Mike for years only for the writers to break them up for no reason. Tike was cute and so off to the side that they could have kept it and nothing would have made a difference. Why did the writers hate Tina?

Klaine: To be fair a lot of this ship's failings came from how inconsistently and downright terribly Blaine was written. But still, when he proposed it felt like Kurt wasn't even happy. And it only felt like they got married because everyone pushed them to. Nothing about this ship was ever enjoyable to me, not even in season 2

Quick: Why'd they do Quinn like this😭 I get Puck had changed and that's great but she said to Rachel in season 3, "I can't imagine my past dimming the bright lights of my future." And then she gets with Puck😐 They should have kept her single tbh, her learning to love herself without a man involved was meant to be her whole arc (I also headcanon her as ace, but that's just me🤷🏾‍♀️)

[spaceorphan18]

Finchel, Klaine, and Polin pt. 1

Rachel, Kurt, and Penelope

This... first of all is a reply to this post :: HERE

It's a been an interesting discourse and thought experiment given by @foundfam2754 and it ended up being so long I'm at least splitting it up into two parts, and possibly three...

****

Before digging in, a couple of prefaces -- clearly, these are fictional characters written by very different people, and whose worlds just work in vastly different ways. And I think at the end of the day, this is kind of a thought experiment about how stories and characters can function in similar ways within narratives? At least that's how I'm looking at it.

Also, I'm speaking conversationally more than anything. I don't expect anyone to agree with my interpretation - and as I'm talking about fictional characters, I always like to make the disclaimer that fictional characters are always reflected by the prism of the viewer's experiences, and we all take away from stories something different.

I guess, also, it got me thinking about how similar Finn and Blaine are, and I never really thought about it (all these years later) but it's unsurprising. Ryan Murphy and Co ha(d)ve a tendency to write the same type of characters over and over, and there are a lot of similarities in the Finchel and Klaine storylines (some of it intentional, some of it not). But does make for a fascinating analysis when compared to Polin.

[This first part, though, is really about Rachel, Kurt, and Penelope -- Finn, Blaine, and Colin will be later, as well as exploring some relationship dynamic stuff.]

****

Alright, so I want to start with Penelope and her parallels with Rachel vs Kurt. It's the easier one to compare because I think Rachel and Kurt aren't that far apart from each other. Ryan Murphy and Co really only had a handful of character types -- most characters fall into a few kinds of roles, and literally everyone on the show can be filtered into one of the few.

Rachel and Kurt, are, really, almost the same character. And a lot of the traits that they share, incidentally, they also share with Penelope.

Using some of your examples -- both Rachel and Kurt have been ignored for most of their life. Both have been bullied for being different, and for not fitting into what society deems is worthy. Both have very few people who truly understand them, or even notice them - and their qualities of goodness. Both have had to claw their way to being seen, and at some personal risk.

And I think (show) Penelope shares ALL of that with them.

Kurt and Rachel both, also, have a bit of a dark streak. They can both be divas at times. They can both be sharp and cutting with their words and actions. And, honestly, so can Penelope.

(All of them, also, have an interest and fascination with gossip, which is a funny aside.)

And then there's the point about insecurities. And, I feel like I need more time to think on this. All three of them are socially awkward. All three of them are also self-assured and well grounded within themselves. And all three of them do have insecurities, but I do think it's all in different ways. (But I may need more time to expand on that).

There is one huge, fundamental difference between Rachel and Kurt, though. I don't even mean this in a derogatory way but, Rachel is more selfish, more ambitious, and more willing to sacrifice everything to gain her goals in life. (And thus, often succeeds at being at the top.) Kurt, meanwhile, will always put those he loves first, even at great personal sacrifice. Kurt has an empathy that Rachel often lacks. And while I think that Penelope might land a little in between the two, I do think she does lean on the Kurt side, as she is softer and more caring than Rachel often is.

Then there's how they love. And it's interesting where you write that Rachel wants to be wanted while Penelope wants to be loved. And I do agree with you - but it's interesting that I think how they want to be wanted and/or loved is different. (Because I think Penelope and Kurt love similarly over Rachel)

Rachel and Kurt both crave feeling loved, because both think that they're undeserving of it for various reasons. (And, weirdly, I don't think Penelope believes she's undeserving of it - I think she believes she just won't get it from the source of where she wants it from, which is similar to both Rachel and Kurt but yeah nuance differences there.)

and... It's kind of funny that both Rachel and Kurt both fall for Finn (!!) for similar reasons -- it's a hero worship. It's this belief that Finn is going to give them the love they want and desire but feel is ultimately out of their reach. And yeah, I can see Penelope starting her crush in the same way -- that Colin is someone who was kind to her, who was nice in a world that isn't nice, that seems to look past the weirdness and oddity and the taboo and is like - I like you.

And that's such a powerful thing!

(As an aside, Kurt is going to do this same thing with Blaine.)

The thing that I really want to get into, though, and I'm going to just tease here because I'll probably get into it in a future part -- I think while Klaine, Finchel, and Polin may start out in similar places I think Klaine and Polin have something Finchel doesn't necessarily have -- a foundation of a very solid friendship.

And, again, I'll get into this with a later portion, but I realize this might where we really start to disagree. Because I think Finchel is a relationship that is meaningful for Finn and Rachel while in high school, while they're young and figuring themselves out, but it never progresses to an adult relationship. But, I mean, I also think that Jesse and Rachel are the better match. I think they like and understand each other on a more fundamental level, and they make more sense to me as a couple than Finn and Rachel.

(So while I think Jesse is nothing like Colin (omg that thought is making me laugh) I do think (for me) St. Berry's relationship dynamics are more align with Klaine and Polin -- but again, I'll get way more into that later.)

Anyway, a few more Rachel, Kurt, and Penelope things...

I think all three of them love and feel very deeply. Rachel wears her emotions on her sleeve. Kurt buries them deep and keeps them very protected. Again, I think Penelope ends up a little inbetween -- she exclaims you should declare how you feel fervently and loudly. But she also protects her heart, and keeps her feelings buried, and she's very protective over those she loves.

I think Kurt and Penelope are more so old school romantics. Rachel enjoys romance but is much flashier and gaudier about it.

One of the big things, though, that Rachel and Penelope have in common that Kurt just doesn't --- Rachel and Penelope are women. And there are struggles there Kurt's just not going to get.

Okay, so a quick note about Book Penelope who is... different. She's older -- and perhaps wiser and calmer. She's also softer and kinder. Despite being Whistledown for all those years, she doesn't have the darker edges that show Penelope has (which is more akin to Kurt and Rachel). If anyone, she's a lot more like Mercedes -- but Mercedes wouldn't bother with wasting her time being in love with anyone for fifteen years.

So yeah, I'm going to stop here for now. :)

[secretagentboob]

I have been thinking about this all day. All of the Bestie Boos are mostly way too young for the following.

Team Brucas vs Team Leyton

Two best friends who fall in love with the same guy. They fight, they make up and then they both end up with who they are supposed to be with.

Team Logan vs Team Dean vs Team Jess

God was the shipping war with Gilmore Girls something that these Bestie Boos wouldn't be able to handle. Rory hurt each one of these men as well as each one of these men hurting Rory. It was bad but in the end she ended up with no one because she needed to find herself first.

Team Delena vs Team Stelena

This is one for the ages. If you were around for The Vampire Diaries you know the fights that people got into with who they thought Elena should end up with. I think she wound up with the right Brother. Even though Damon said she saw Stefan first it was Damon whom she saw first so I think she ended up with the right person.

Team Edward vs Team Jacob

I personally think Stephanie Meyer put Bella with the wrong character. Bella had so much more chemistry with Jacob than she did with Edward. But my god this fandom was very toxic (seems like 9-1-1 is going to be more toxic than this fandom)

Team Finchel vs Team Fuinn

Personally my best friend and I are at odds when it comes to a lot of TV shows but this one is the worst. We did not agree with who we thought Finn should end up with and it ended up in some very heated arguments. Personally I think Finn ended up with the right person. Quinn led him on to believe that he was the father to her child when in fact she did cheat on him.

If these Bestie Boos were around for any of that their shit would have been shut down so fast. There are a lot more but I don't want to bore you guys with my silly rambling but I need all of them to just sit back and really think, most of the demographic for the silly wee woo show are the Gen X and Millennials and boo boo we have been through it all.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk!

[lusthurts]

writing meme about me!

no official tag but thought maybe time to share more about myself! mostly because I want to know more about you all as well, and @sperrywink extended an invite to seblaine mutuals so I will do the same!

How did you get into writing fanfiction?

I discovered it on accident as most of us do - I was on the Glee wiki I think? There was a link to select fanfics on the ship pages at the time, and I started reading one of the Finchel ones, and it was game over for me lol - I started writing my own a while after that, and I participated in a variety of Glee RPGs that inspired me to write other characters. I was in one of those massive Glee RPGs in like 2011 on fanfiction.net, and it was very formative for me in terms of connecting with the rest of the fandom and wanting to do more of that. RPGs are also so great for exposing you to ships you never would've liked or even thought of before, although all my current ships came from elsewhere lol

oh, and there was the whole escapism from family shit that was going down at the time thing - that was a huge factor for sure

2. How many fandoms have you written in?

I've almost exclusively been writing for the Glee fandom since the beginning, although the ships I've written for have changed drastically throughout that time. I've dabbled in some other things as well depending on my special interest at the moment, but I always come back to Glee. Other fandoms I've written for include The Outsiders, Degrassi, How I Met Your Mother, 13 Reasons Why, Girl Meets World, and Skam ! none of these are published anywhere anymore though as far as I know, it's all far too embarrassing (and yes I'm aware that's the most bizarre mix of fandoms ever)

3. How many years have you been writing fanfiction?

at least 12, I wanna say I started around 2012ish?

4. Do you read or write more fanfiction?

I genuinely think it's about equal, but it comes in waves. Sometimes I'm reading more, sometimes I'm writing more. I'm almost always working on something and I'm also almost always in the middle of reading a long fic.

5. What is one way you've improved as a writer?

I think I've gotten a lot better at writing comedy and ensemble dialogue. I like writing the silly goofy scenes with large friend groups a lot, especially when I feel like I've nailed the character's voices enough that I don't even need dialogue tags to know who said each line.

6. What's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Ohio geography lmao - I like always have Google Maps pulled up trying to map out different locations and how far drives would be, etc. I also have researched a ton about various colleges (especially for my current WIP since these characters are actively applying for college rn) and France (never been there, constantly have to write stuff that takes place there).

7. What's your favorite type of comment to receive on your work?

I genuinely do love all comments! I especially loves one that are specific/mention parts of the chapter or the fic that they enjoyed or thoughts that they had while reading. I also like chatting about the characters and canon and their predictions/hopes for the rest of the fic. The length doesn't really matter so much - I love long comments and short comments, and I try my best to respond to all of them.

8. What's the most fringe trope/topic you write about?

Idk I kinda write a lot of infidelity and toxic relationship stuff. Seblaine is the main ship I write for nowadays, and the nature of their relationship lends itself to a lot of infidelity in their process of getting together. I also just love writing angst, so even when I'm writing established relationships, they end up being sort of toxic throughout especially given the traits of both characters. I just find it more fun and probable to write a slightly toxic relationship than a 100% healthy one.

9. What is the hardest type of story for you to write?

PWP - I struggle so much with writing smut, although I like to think I've gotten a bit better at it recently. I'm also trying to get better at writing ensemble fics, but it's definitely a struggle for me to give each ship/character enough attention. And I'm pretty awful at world building, so anything remotely fantasy, sci fi, etc. is a huge struggle for me.

10. What is the easiest type?

slow burns! I've gotten so much better at delaying the characters from getting together for a really long time in fics and it's soooo fun. I prefer a character centric slow burn with lots of sexual tension and an arc that involves characters moving from enemies/friends/strangers to lovers over the course of many months or years.

11. Where do you do your writing? What platform? When?

I like to write outside of my own home - something about physically relocating makes me way more productive. I write a ton on planes (I travel a lot for work). I also love a good coffee shop, Panera, park, library, etc.

I write in Word and publish to AO3 - used to write in Google Docs but it's so slow and laggy so I much prefer Word. Used to publish on fanfiction.net but I will never go anywhere else now that I've transitioned to AO3, the far superior fanfic site lol

I am most productive with writing either during the day if I'm somewhere other than at home or in the middle of the night in bed - my most productive hours at home are between like midnight and 3 am

12. What is something you've been too nervous/intimidated to write, but would love to write one day?

I recently got over my fear of PWP and published a one shot that I'm very proud of. I have many ideas for things similar that I'd like to work through in the future!!

Most of this is fandom specific though - I'm super intimidated to write for big fandoms because I've gotten so comfortable in the Glee fandom, especially writing Seblaine which has a relatively small audience in comparison. I'd love to write Marauders, but that fandom is HUGE and very intimidating because there is so much lore and fanon to mess up. I hope to give it a shot one day though!

13. What made you choose your username?

it's a song lyric! lust hurts comes from the song "Barcelona Boots" by Arlie - the lyric goes "Lust hurts, could you bear it for me?" and I thought that was very fitting for someone like me who's obsessed with romance in fiction but can't be bothered with it in my real life

any of my mutuals are welcome to participate! I'll specifically throw in a tag for @daisyishedwig @calsvoid @xonceinadream @andyandersmythe bc these are the ones that come up first when I go to tag haha

[4minutesgcv]

Can I ask why you think Heather is a had actress?

of course!! I think heather’s an amazing dancer but her vocals and her acting are just subpar to me personally 👍🏽

like in all of the brittana scenes naya is just soulful and you can see all the genuine love she has for brittany, whereas you get none of that with heather..like idk what they told her to do but she just doesn't look like she's in love idk. that being said i do love brittana it’s one of my favourite canon glee ships but they just didn't hv much chemistry to me personally but i understand why people want them to be together as they do make sense as a couple.

an example of a ship in glee that I think did hv chemistry even though most people think they shouldn't be together was finchel like finn and rachel as a ship are really not good for each other but you kinda end up rooting for them (at least i did) because of how well lea and cory fit together if that makes sense even if after awhile they didn't make sense as a couple, the actors just had a lot of chemistry with each other.

[brittanagirlcrush]

Random thought (cuz I just saw a gif):

What irritates me (even more) about Kurt interrupting the Brittana proposal is the fact that Santana was there and supported the Klaine proposal.

She also, albeit maybe a little facetiously, supported the Finchel proposal. So, even though I'm not a Rachel fan, props to Rachel for, at least in public, supporting Brittana.

/end random thought

[genghisthebrain]

you guys dont even get an option for "you can pry faberry/pezberry/finchel/st berry from my cold dead hands" bc i just want to know who's deranged in what way

[argyledpenguin]

Hi I just want to say that your everlark fics changed my life, seriously. Have Heart, My Dear absolutely devastated me, but I love it so much. It will forever live rent free in my mind, for better or for worse idk because that fic had me terrified and crying lol by the end of chapter 1. But you have such a way with words I can’t help but go back to read the happier moments. All of your everlark fics are prime. I’ve discovered these fics nearly a decade after it was published, but it’s funny because I had actually read your Finchel fanfiction all those years ago and loved it. I was more involved in the Glee fandom than Hunger Games and it’s nice to look back when Finchel was loved because they are so hated/criticized nowadays. It’s understandable but they will always have a special place in my heart. I’m rambling now lol but anyway I never read any everlark fanfiction until last year, and yours are some of the best. Thank you for your contribution.

Oh, gosh, thank you so much! You made my day with this message!!! I'm glad that you like my stories, even those that I wrote 10+ years ago! I haven't thought about finchel in a long, long time, but those fics will always be special to me if only because they're what led me to tumblr. And I've never written so much so quickly as I did when I was writing for THG, and a few of the fics I'm most proud of are for THG! To know that you're still enjoying my stories for both of those just makes me so happy! Thanks for taking the time to tell me. :)

[jamesbutnotreally]

001 with finchel? –hevanderson

Finchel

when I started shipping it if I did: i didn't give a shit about them in my first watch then i started liking them in my 3rd(??) watch and now. well i don't really know. i do ship them but. well my thoughts are below

my thoughts: I do like them a lot. They are very cute. But i don't know what to think of endgame finchel. I'm not the biggest Rachel fan. We have an on and off relationship with her lol. And I think Finn deserves someone who thinks and cares about his needs and what's good for him (totally not biased aren't i) I feel like if Finchel was endgame Finn would become her trophy husband lmao. Which sure nothing wrong with that and sometimes i ship them like that too but I mostly think Finn deserves better.

What makes me happy about them: They are very cute. And have a fun dynamic when they play of off each other. I think they're great for a highschool relationship. And even after their breakup I think they would be great friends. They really work best when emotional stuff is out of way and it's just their banter.

What makes me sad about them: This might be an overall theme in this post but I think this relationship didn't allow neither of them to be their own person. Whenever they were together most of their personality became the relationship itself.

things done in fanfic that annoys me: I don't really read finchel fics much but i don't like when Rachel is portrayed too obnoxious i suppose. And when she bosses Finn around and he's like "whatever you want baby im your slave"

things I look for in fanfic: Character Growth for both of them. They care about each other deeply and want each other to be happy. I love fluff hehe

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Single Finn. maybe gets with Jesse later on? who knows. Rachel with Quinn? probably.

My happily ever after for them: If they're together they live in nyc, have 1 kid, rachel is a succesfull musical actress and finn is a kindergarten teacher.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: i mean... the height difference... do i have to say anything...

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: They seem like a couple that would host game nights.

send me character or ship asks!
