zigmar i come to you humbly on this fine evening with the simple request that you give me some sort of might duck sustenance por favor and muchas gracias
they can be incoherent and stupid and goofy and silly to the max i just need to rotate this little kids like rotisserie chickens in my mind (esp fulton portman and julie)
random miscellaneous tmd thoughts !
Tumblr media
✧ warnings: some of them may be ooc ngl
✧ additional info: u got it pookums 😈😈😈🙏 also these can be read as either platonic or romantic (not luis)
✧ m.list — nav.
Tumblr media
♡ charlie conway !
the most insane taste in music literally ever
bro goes from madonna to death metal SO FAST
but ngl his playlist is always the best and he always gets to play music whenever u go anywhere
but oh my god he’d love pierce the veil in present day
HES ALSO LIKE SOMEHOW AMAZING AT MATH. but he cannot do science for literal shit
also his clothing style changes js like his music taste
will literally be kurt cobain one day and morrissey the next (hed hate morrissey though)
♡ adam banks !
every team sleepover/event/literally anything could js be a spontaneous hangout is always at his house
it’s because he’s rich and his house is huge as fuck and he has every board game known to man
just do not play uno because a fight always breaks out (charlie is always part of it)
he’s always the one who ends the fight also
he has this very calming presence that’s so nice to be around and him js talking to whoever got into a fight immediately helps calm them down
also weirdly good at comforting in the middle of the night but never during the day??
♡ lester averman !
he would watch full house religiously prove me wrong
his favourite character is obviously joey because they are one in the same
everyone on the team and their mother has been forced to watch full house while he’s been at their house/vice versa
he can also cook like. decently well !! it’s not something he’d prefer to do but he will for his friends if they’re tired or smth
♡ fulton reed !
this little shit
he is so unbelievably competitive over the smallest things it’s actually insane
typa guy to race u to see who can get to one side of the room first and start genuinely tweaking if he doesn’t win
at sleepovers he refuses to fall asleep first even if it’s just by a few minutes
he could be dead to the world but still have his eyes open cause he refuses to let u win (unless ur his s/o cause he might consider it that way)
♡ connie moreau !
she is definitely a theatre kid idc
her favourite musicals are probably grease, hairspray and heathers
she likes female main characters!!
everytime she gets into a new fandom she immediately starts thinking abt what it’d be like a musical and probably wanted to be a composer at some point
would 100% beg to use the aux on a road trip and then blast hamilton loud as balls
she wholeheartedly believes six is a top tier musical and she will DIE on this hill
(fun fact i’ve met andrea macasaet <3)
♡ guy germaine !
modern day guy would’ve loved basic white girl music
“life is too short to pretend to hate taylor swift” —him
also 100% a britney spears girlie. and nsync and every stereotypical white girl artist
but i wholeheartedly believe britney would be his favourite and he has her whole discography on cassette, cd, vinyl, u name it he has a britney spears collection
also his ass is NOT straight 💀 i’ve never met a straight man who listens to britney spears
♡ julie gaffney !
lowkey a regina george multitude if she wasn’t kinda. yk. a bad person
she’s a mix of cher and regina
everyone at the fancy ass boarding school literally loves her because she’s calm, smart pretty nice etc etc she’s just a really great person to be around
shes that one student who has every assignment finisher a week early, all a’s and 100% in every subject WITHOUT being mean abt it!!
her ass is friends with the whole student population and knows every well and knows all the drama but won’t tell everyone if she thinks it’s too personal (it’s it’s random petty nonsense she tells the team)
♡ ken wu !
secretly rlly good friends with julie but nobody knows even though they do not try to hide it at all
literally wander the halls talking abt whatever just for everyone to be like “y’all are friends???”
also this man secretly loves lana del rey
him and julie will sit on his bedroom floor and literally tell him the most insane and jaw dropping gossip she heard that day while lana is playing in the background
everytime someone asks his favourite lana song he says grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep-sea fishing on did you know that there’s a tunnel under ocean blvd to fuck with them
♡ dean portman !
is actually very very good at math!!
he was a tutor for the 9th/10th graders for a bit to get volunteer hours and also cause he just likes doing math
you’d expect it to be like doing homework with ur dad and the poor kid is in tears while deans like “WHATS NINE. TIMES TWO.” but he’s actually surprisingly patient
if he’s explained something a few times and they still don’t get it he’ll just try it a different way until they get it and work them through the problem
has rlly strong relationships with the 9th and 10th graders cause of this and is essentially their older brother figure
the amount of 14/15 year olds that he’s given relationship advice too is insane (id be one of the 14 year olds probably)
♡ luis mendoza !
his type is secretly quiet girls cause he finds them rlly interesting and likes the thought of them being happy around him but quiet around everyone else
he’s like yes girl be urself with me
it all stemmed from the girl he liked in 8th grade who helped pick up his pencils when she accidentally knocked his pencil case out of his hand (she was a quiet nerdy girl)
like a whole year later and he’s still trying to rizz her up 💀
he’s one of those guys who takes forever to lose feelings
the girl is actually good friends with him btw
♡ dwayne robertson !
i feel like he is fucking AMAZING at baking
his icon is dolly parton and he heard berry pie so he immediately learned how to bake
if someone he knows has a birthday he either bakes the birthday cake or brings them something he made depending on how close he is with them
and holy shit it’s the most amazing thing u will ever taste and nothing will ever compare
yes he’s one of those guys who will go on an 18 minute tangent on how amazing dolly parton is if someone talks shit about her (same i love dolly)

ok tell me about your dps klaine au. i love the movie so i'm interested to hear what you have in mind! :)
omggg ty to u and @blossoms-and-possums and @warblercore for asking about it totally and entirely unprompted 🥰
sooooo i have this au in mind for dps klaine that would take place during dalton era klaine (naturally) and i wanna write it so bad. here are some highlights
kurt as todd anderson
blaine as neil perry
sam as knox overstreet
mercedes as chris noel (for the samcedes of it all naturally)
kurt transfers to dalton for largely the same reason he did in canon — to get away from bullies. the difference being he doesn’t actually meet blaine until they find out they find out they’re rooming together (as is the case in dps)
blaine’s father is really adamant that he gets good grades so that he’ll be able to get scholarships for a nice law school.
when blaine hints that he might want to do acting, mr. anderson gets agitated with him bc he already had one kid try to follow that acting pipe dream and where did that get cooper? absolutely nowhere, according to his father. blaine is NOT allowed to do the theatre stuff under any circumstances
meanwhile kurt still feels like an outsider amongst the other boys in school bc he’s the self conscious gay kid who is a natural creative in a space where only academics and business seem to matter. the only person that really actively tries to make him feel welcome is blaine who he quietly latches onto.
ofc that kinda shifts when the society is formed.
it’ll more or less follow the main story, but i’m gonna change some stuff for plot purposes and also make klaine a bigger focus in the narrative. including the deleted scenes from the film that expand on their relationship
“i can take care of myself, alright?” “no.” “what do you mean no?” “no ❤️”
i’d probably also keep the late 50s/early 60s era the same bc i think that’d be fun to interact with when dealing with queerness
there’s about 5874364585 things i wanna discuss but i gotta keep some things a surprise <3

For the fictional character ask meme: Nightcrawler aka Kurt Wagner
Favorite thing about them: Their positive attitude! I’m not saying Kurt’s incapable of being upset or angst but I do love how his default is fun, especially on a team of sadbois (and girls).
Least favorite thing about them: He tickles people without their consent so if we met in real life I’d probably end up killing him.
Three things i have in common with them: 1. Theatre kid, 2. Love old movies, 3. Am also way too horny to become a priest
Three things i don’t have in common with them: 1. Am not Bavarian (thank God) 2. Cannot do a backflip 3. Nowhere near as sexy
Favorite line:
“Trauma comes painfully, quick and loud. Healing comes quiet and slow.
But it does come.
It does.”
brOTP: Kitty/Rachel/Kurt Excalibur Gang!!
OTP: Tough to say. Internet is making a good case for Kurt/Logan
nOTP: Hey writers it’s bad enough Claremont made Kurt’s first girlfriend his foster sister, why do you have to keep bringing that back???
Random Headcanon:
Unpopular Opinion: I am not sure Nightcrawler was ever intended to be furry. Like I seriously suspect that “fuzzy elf” was just talking about his hair and to be honest I have a hard time imagining him furry myself.
Song i associate with them:
I think he’d like it.
youtube
Favorite picture of them:

Wahoo, hello~!!!!! Thanks @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for the tag!! GOD hi I am tired but also in a weird mood. For the ones who might've missed: I had a lil vacation and went to London to see Hadestown. It was a lot of fun, and we also got last minute Hamilton tickets. I also jokingly said to someone that it was "London, of Carry On fame", but to be honest, fandom was on my mind a lot.
My mum and I went to Chelsea for a restaurant she wanted to try out and yes, okay, Fiona really is rich, huh? It's also so hard to grasp that London really is that big. Yes, Baz lives with Fiona in Chelsea and Simon and Penny move to Camberwell. Close by, right? It's both in London, right? RIGHT?
We also visited Soho, which I know from sconey's fic The Gay Bar (lol) and I almost convinced mum to check out Mayfair, for Lady Ruth, but she was too tired (fair, I dragged her along everywhere). Mayfair felt easier than, you know, Hackney Wick, since that is also on the other side of London. Jeez.
I also went back to Waterstones Picadilly (... several times), which is where I first met Simon and Baz in 2013, because that's where I bought Fangirl!
Funnily enough, the Myosotis series, aka a Klaine fic, was also on my mind a lot. In Myosotis sylvatica, you learn that Pret a Manger is EVERYWHERE in New York (I think it bought Starbucks?? Don't quote me on it.) (I know it's my own fic, but it's been a while.) and I did that because I was inspired by the massive amount of Pret a Manger in London. Also, yes, I went to this city for Hadestown. Shout out to, uh, me, for replanning the entire timeline of Myosotis verna so that Kurt and Blaine could go to Hadestown on their first date.
Also, I am obsessed with Chinatown and YES it made me think of the struggles of 吃了吗? again but HEY the hotpot that I talked about last week ended up being amazing! Also, close to Chinatown is the theatre that hosts Magic Mike Live, which played a big role in my Snowbaz textfic.
If you're still reading this, hi, hello, my banner wasn't lying. Here are the six sentences you were waiting for. Matty Chris D. is still kicking around:
It all started with the Humdrum sending magickal monkeys to disrupt the welcome picnic. I’m actually quite afraid of monkeys. When I was a kid a monkey had escaped from the zoo and this asshole at primary school kept telling everyone that this monkey would kill us. So I am glad I wasn’t there. It would feel like the Humdrum would’ve sent them to torture me personally, which is ridiculous, because I am so unimportant I have trouble believing that the Humdrum knows I exist. The Humdrum is clearly obsessed with Simon Snow and boy, I am no Chosen One.
And now, the weather: @quizasvivamos @coffeegleek @caramelcoffeeaddict @raenestee @tectonicduck @nightimedreamersworld @urban-sith @thnxforknowingme @captain-aralias @cerriddwenluna @bookish-bogwitch @confused-bi-queer @that-disabled-princess @special-bc-ur-part-of-it @larkral @cutestkilla ​ @wellbelesbian ​ @artsyunderstudy ​ @martsonmars ​ @facewithoutheart ​ @shrekgogurt @rockitmans @bitbybitwrites @whatevertheweather @theotherhufflepuff @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion @esilher @kurtsascot @blackberrysummerblog @nightimedreamersghost

i love ask games too bro
can you do Rachel and Finn for the breakdown thing
yay! my Beloveds!
RACHEL:
How I feel about this character:
I love her. She's insufferable, she's sincere, she's funny, she's most definitely autistic, she really is The Character. She's not my absolute favourite, but she's up there, and Glee would unequivocally not be what it is without her.
All the people I ship romantically with this character:
To be honest, Finn is my first and main choice for her. I just love Finchel...
otherwise, none of the other canon characters really call out to me as a partner to her. Maybe an OC.
My non-romantic OTP for this character:
Kurtchelcedes for the win! I love the divas being besties. I reckon they watch all the major award shows together, and make predictions and be delightful.
My unpopular opinion about this character:
Both popular fandom interpretations have correct elements; she's a double-edged sword. Yes, she's a passionate, ambitious and quite possibly autistic young woman who has been a victim of constant and often vicious bullying, and I think she's also an self-serving, insufferable theatre kid with egomaniac tendencies and occasionally extreme reactions to being upstaged. Both are correct. She's complicated.
ALSO, my unpopular opinion is that I don't hate Season 3B for her. A lot of people complain about her being willing to defer her application for Finn and Kurt, or consider somewhere other than New York to study, because 'oh, she's acting OOC, she cares about Finn more than her dreams, what happened to crackhouse!Rachel', and while I do think that Rachel throwing away her dreams for a man (which she wasn't really, she still had every intention of being a star) isn't necessarily a good thing, the disappearance of crackhouse!Rachel is. Rachel learning to take other people's feelings into consideration--especially the feelings of the man she plans to marry--is a GOOD THING. Rachel being willing to be adaptable is a GOOD THING. Thank you.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
Of course, I wish that she'd managed to have an ending with Finn--not necessarily RM's ending, but an ending, maybe in one of the non-Manhattan New York suburbs.
On a side note, I wish we'd seen her participate in more community theatre--maybe do local productions, or something.
FINN:
How I feel about this character:
Finn is one of my absolute favourites, along with Mercedes. He's a very realistic teenager, and I think he's honestly the main character of Glee.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Rachel mostly, but in the reality where I can't ship any of my main ships (I once worked out what my Glee ships would be if I couldn't ship any of the OTP's) would honestly have to be Finncedes. I think they'd hit it off.
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Honestly, Finn and any of the guys. I love when the guys are just hanging out doing guy stuff--like helping Puck study, or ambushing him on a pool cleaning job.
My unpopular opinion about this character
Very little that he does falls out of the realm of 'things a teenage boy might do'. Sure, that might make him a jerk at times--and he is a jerk at times--but he's not an extra-special form of Super Jerk Worst Character Ever
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
aside from the tragically obvious, I really wish that he'd just apologise to Santana for outing her. That would have been so easy, and I think it would have made the whole thing feel so much more natural--you can see already that he's already aware that he did the wrong thing and is attempting to make it up to her, and it would be much better if he'd just apologised as well. Especially since he's apologised for most other egregiously wrong things he's done, usually immediately after the fact.

if u think that Rachel berry shouldn't have been the main character ur Kinda a dumb dumb. the core values of the show is annoying theatre kids who are outcasts finding solace in a goddamned glee club,, and you think fuckin qu*nn, br*ttany or s*antana were gonna give that energy??? absolutely fuckin not all they were going to do was be annoying popular people who learn the valuable lesson that popularity isn't everything but
and if the show wasn't about Rachel it would have been about kurt, mercedes, artie or tina being annoying theatre kids who are outcasts
I do actually like santana a fair bit, think Quinn was decent and brittany was definitely a character on the show, but there was nay a reason for a single one of them to truly be the main character
same anon as before but I think I may have made it seem like I was complaining at you but I was just complaining about others who don't have the third eye to see Rachel being the main character was the most logical conclusion xxx
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
oh yeah lmao for a second i was like "did i do something to make them think i thought that way..?" but yeah no i totally agreeee
the people who insist the unholy trinity carried the whole show are sooo dumb like baby they didnt even carry the three seasons you watched :/ but yeah i do like santana but damn those blonde bitches dragged her down so bad
and it always makes me mad that the show was about being an outcast and yet the popular kids always outnumbered the nerds. like 5:7
and dont get me started about the bullshit parade in 6x12 about how the gay, fat, black, disabled, jewish, asian characters need to open their hearts and minds and be more accepting of the cishet white male jock that lowkey bullies them all but is kind of sort of nice bc he didnt call the fat girl fat and let the gay kid take off his jacket before his friends tossed him in the dumpster and also hasnt started using slurs yet. he's a saint that deserves a million second chances (but his girlfriend is still a bitch and we hate her forever)
ugh. screaming internally, screaming eternally etc

So I realized something about the general state of hollywood 'current day' as exemplified in the mcu, which right now is basically 'everything that is wrong with hollywood current day' boiled down to its essentials.
So there was a brief period of time in the MCU when really really big stars genuinely wanted to be a small part of it. Most specifically, getting Robert Redford and Kurt Russell - because for a short amount of time the MCU was good, popular, and something that anybody could do regardless of their genetic makeup or identity.
But now? We aren't seeing that anymore. Sure, we still have Michelle Pfeiffer as the Wasp, among a few others, but that's a holdover from when they wanted to be a part of it/when it was good. We aren't seeing big names like that WANTING to play around in superhero movies, similar to what the appeal to being in the Spy Kids movies was, because these aren't fun superhero movies anymore. they're mocking, dismal, stressful places to be where one wrong word or expression can suddenly destroy your entire career.
Nobody wants that. At least nobody of high calibre does
When the MCU first began, it had a cast of - well I wouldn't call it "nobodies", but they were all relatively unknown for the most part.
RDJ had gotten the second chance of a lifetime, and others like Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, were known for some smaller productions, or even better known for Shakespearean theatre. CE being the exception for previously playing Johnny Storm, but we all saw how tragically that franchise attempt ended lol.
I don't believe it's an exaggeration to say that Samuel L Jackson was probably the biggest name attached to the MCU when it first began.
I remember when it was exciting that Benedict Cumberbatch was joining the MCU because to the fandom, if such a big star like Sherlock himself was joining, that meant this franchise was really going somewhere!
Now we have in the cast just every name that's even somewhat popular, including "former boyband teen heartthrob who often dresses like a toddler was allowed to pick their own wardrobe"

Patron Saint chapter 21
 Archive of Our Own

-James is such a weird character to write, because in canon he only appears for a single episode, but in this fic he’s part of the main cast. I had very little to go off, but I really enjoy how he’s worked out.
-Spencer going to a playground and playing with other children his age makes me so happy. Nell, Finn, and Lina need to appear in more things. (Brenna created them!)
-Dave is such an out of touch Rich Kid.
-I just changed a random background character to a canon character, and I think it makes it even funnier
-the story behind the theatre teacher is honestly really funny. so back in the day I used to write a LOT of Glee fanfiction, and I created a couple of my own characters that I really enjoyed writing. Flash forward to writing this chapter, and I needed a theatre teacher, and I thought I would use one of those characters. Originally I was going to use Francey, who I created as Blaine’s older sister, but a couple of people asked about Lucy instead. I created her as a student at Dalton’s sister school and she became one of Kurt’s best friends (mostly because Rachel was still being pushed as his best friend and she sucks). But what’s really funny is that Lucy originally was a one-off character based off of...me. 
-headcanon: Diana calls Spencer Crash because she thinks he’s clumsy, but she doesn’t remember hurting him and he explains the bruises and scrapes by telling her he fell.

Hey, can you rank the best/your most favorite Kurtcheltana moments please??
Ohh I love this, Kurtcheltana goodness
I'm sure I won't mention them all here so maybe I can add to it tomorrow or like let me know your faves too. Not really a ranking as much as good moments that come to mind:
Girls (and Boys) On Film: just the whole episode is golden. Santana establishes a dynamic in the loft and it's the most fun from Kurt growing to agree with her to the "and you're offended?" and the whole pure chaos of it. Their first real episode might be their best tbh. Choosing just one scene, not gonna go with the fake coke snorting but with everything that begins with "no, Lady Hummel, sit" and then Santana's monologue and Hummelberry's outrage. Peak TV honestly.
Mamma Mia: three silly roommates being carefree and silly uwu love to see it
PUC: obviously, all of PUC. Could have done without creepy Santa but they're so domestic and hilarious. And this is supposed to be before Santana moves in lol.
Lights Out: alright I know it's lazy to just say episodes but I think the Hummelberry intervention, as condescending as it is, has the best of intentions and it's clear they both care about Santana. The theatre kid energy vs the tired non-theatre friend. I have a gifset planned based on this asjkhkd don't tell anyone
Vibing to Piano Man. Mostly Pezberry but Kurt is there supporting his fiance 😌
I generally find season 5 sadly lacking but I'm counting Kurt trying to repair the Pezberry relationship and Just the Way You Are.
This relates to Mamma Mia but the girlfriend/boyfriend pillows 😩 please that was so weird and so sweet. Kurt girlified Santana's pillow!
I love the idea of them pulling pranks on each other to cheer the sad one up pls that's so childish and funny
the hug in 5x19 😭😭😭😭 I'll never get over it that's basically our last moment and I'll treasure it forever
the sweet diner scene in 5x02 with the pinky promise, I hate that the show forgot about the Kurtcheltana aspect of it later on but I was THERE and I remember it all too well, it was real to me, diner besties roomie besties
can't help it exasperated Kurt during Gloria is funny
Kurt calling in the reinforcements i.e. Santana in Opening Night I mean COME ON that is most certainly a scene I'll never get over
The Kurtcheltana dynamic is great because of a) it's unlikeliness on paper and b) the chaos that is inevitable and where it's always a different person being the most reasonable. Mostly but not exclusively Kurt. I should talk about them more and am open to conversation but yeah I might just add to this later. Sorry this is just rambling and not in-depth stuff at all I just have random feelings about them.

Open to hung dom top aggressive males
No gif or images as Tumblr is giving me trouble this weekend all of the sudden
If you asked Rachel, which nobody had but when that ever stopped the diva, the natural order of things had been disrupted when Courtney (formerly Kurt) had gotten the part in a local theatre’s musical and Rachel hadn’t. That Mr. Schuester played favorites and punished originality while the theater director did not, was not something Rachel would acknowledge. Be that as it may, Courtney was too busy over the summer with the play to take much notice of other rumblings. Such as Finn, Puck and Sam moping and pouting because some new kid, who was reportedly taller than Finn, had moved to the district and proven himself to be a great QB. She chalked up word that he was not a good guy to jealousy. As much as she loved Finn, Courtney had to admit it might do him some good to not have things handed to him on a silver platter. And she was inclined to think Puck was bothered by the new guy being more of a panty melter than he was.
The first day back at school she still hadn’t seen him thought he was all the other Cheerios could whisper about when Sue wasn’t looking, which wasn’t often. By the time practice was over she was beat so when she did see him, she thought he was gorgeous but so what. She was tired of pursuing guys and being disappointed. She could wait til college when maybe, a guy would her and take what he wanted

Pop Loser Vol. 3, No. 7 Feed me, CBCmour (and other confusions)
VOL 3, NO 7
Two things I strongly believe in: public media and portable content. Which is why I'm more than a little dismayed that the RSS feeds from CBC News stopped working over a month ago. I figured it was a known issue and they'd get to it, but then three weeks went by and I started to get an uneasy feeling. Eventually, I submitted a support ticket, but I kind of knew what the answer was going to be and I was right:
❝Unfortunately accessing our content via RSS feed is not popular with many users and so resources are generally being allocated to other areas and fixes for glitches with current RSS feeds are not being prioritized. I'm sorry I don't have better news.❞
Fucking hell, the internet is a goddamned disaster right now.
Related: For so many reasons, you should be using an RSS reader. ❝It's still true that the new, good internet will require a movement to overcome the collective action problems and the legal barriers to disenshittifying things. Almost nothing you do as an individual is going to make a difference. But using RSS will!❞
Also related: the new Reeder app is really nice.

Ljubim te (13/24)
Notes:
Me, yesterday: *making a big deal about the fact that I don’t have time to write and that it might take some time for the next chapter to come out*
Me, today: [in the tone of anyway here’s Wonderwall] anyway here’s the next chapter.
AO3 | S&C  
–  
PAT
Blaine closes his front door behind him and he slides down against it. Once he’s on the ground, he closes his eyes and he hides his head between his legs.
He couldn’t get out of Kurt’s room fast enough. He’s high on… well, it seems to be adrenaline. He was so focused on getting away that the entire bus trip to his place feels like it happened within a second. But now that he’s in the comfort of his own temporary home, time finally slows down again and he takes a deep breath.
What just happened?
Blaine knows what happened, though. He kissed Kurt. He totally, wholeheartedly kissed Kurt. Kurt, another guy. And Blaine did it because he wanted to. He wanted to know what Kurt’s lips feel like. He wanted to grab Kurt by the neck and pull him closer. He wanted it all and fuck, he still wants it.
Blaine wants Kurt.
Blaine leans his head against the door. This doesn’t make sense. He shouldn’t want this, but even though Blaine bolted out of Kurt’s room, a part of him wants to go back and kiss him more. He remembers the feeling of Kurt’s lips against his. He remembers how soft the hairs on the back of Kurt’s head are. He remembers the way Kurt kissed him back.
“Argh!” Blaine screams out.
He puts his head in his hands and he tries not to think about it, but he can’t. He wants Kurt. He does.
But he can’t.
Because he’s straight and he has a girlfriend, but not only that, but Blaine’s been low-key homophobic about the idea of Kurt and Sunil being together. And Blaine knows that Kurt is also planning on going to London to visit his ex, which pisses Blaine off too.
Wait.
Or maybe it’s not the fact that Kurt’s into men. Maybe it’s the fact that Kurt’s not into Blaine.
Blaine feels the panic rise.
He should be happy to realise that he is not homophobic, but the alternative feels somehow worse, which is a shitty thing to think, but everything about this is shitty and weird and just wrong. Everything about this is plain wrong. Blaine isn’t gay, or bi, or all the others words he’s learnt about when he saw a flyer at the queer organisation at Yale. It’s not like Blaine can really remember the flyer, because the moment he saw it, he put it away. He couldn’t deal with it for some reason.
Blaine likes girls. He’s only ever liked girls. Not only that, but he’s in a quite accepting area. He even has gay colleagues back home! If Blaine were gay, he would’ve known, right? Fuck, Blaine did theatre in high school and college. He can’t do theatre and not realise he’s gay, right?
He went to an all-boys boarding school, for God's sake. He knew gay people back then. Two of his high school friends are a couple. Not only that, but he knows guys messed around with each other in the dorms. If Blaine had wanted that, then he could've easily done that! He did notice all the attractive guys in his classes, but that was jealousy, right?
Sure, he can count the amount of girls he’s kissed in his life on one hand, and okay, he never really liked kissing them-
But he has a girlfriend!
Well, you never liked kissing her either, a voice in his head says and Blaine feels like he’s spiralling even more, because it’s true. Kissing Quinn is fine, just fine. There isn’t really anything to it. He likes it because he likes having someone close to him, but it’s not the epic romantic feeling from the movies.
Maybe that’s it! Maybe Blaine just wanted to kiss Kurt because it’s been too long since he kissed anyone.
But deep down, Blaine knows he’s kidding himself. How else can he explain the way he couldn’t stop looking at Kurt during the movie? How else can he explain that he just wanted to be closer to him? How else can he explain the fact that this was the first kiss that actually made him feel something? This wasn’t the same as kissing Quinn, or any other girl in college.
Blaine can’t really describe it, but it just made sense. It felt good. It’s as if his mind went Oh, there you are. This was the big thing he’s been looking for forever.
He’s finally found it.
And now he feels awful.
--
Quinn calls that night, as usual. The calls have decreased, since she spends most of her time with Denise, but she still calls.
Blaine turns off his phone.
--
When Blaine powers on his phone the next day, he sees that he’s gotten a missed call from Kurt as well. Maybe he should just stop answering his phone all together. He’s not ready for this.
Blaine’s slept terribly, but he still puts some effort into looking alright. He has to go back to work. He has to see Tadeja.
Maybe that’s the distraction he needs.
Blaine might not be the best at his job, but he knows how to run a business. That’s what he’s studied for and that’s why he came here. That’s what’s expected of him, and that is what he knows.
--
Things only get worse from here on. For the next three days, Blaine goes to work and ignores everything else. He doesn’t go outside for the fear of running into Kurt, which is ridiculous, but Ljubljana is a small city and he’s gotten to know it with Kurt by his side, so everything reminds him of him.
He’s stopped answering his phone. It’s a good thing that he also has a work phone, so that he can keep up to date with what’s going on with his company. Work gives him a purpose. Work keeps his mind away from what Blaine’s started referring to as The Incident. After all, that is what it was. It was just an incident.
It’s not that he can fully stop thinking about Kurt, though, no matter how he tries. Every now and then, when he’s alone with his thoughts, he remembers how it felt to kiss him, and every time he remembers it, it sends him into a spiral of confusion and guilt.
--
Of course, Blaine’s isolation cannot last.
Five days after The Incident, Blaine finds Tadeja waiting outside his office.
“Dober dan,” Blaine says with a smile, but the smile fades when he sees the serious look on Tadeja’s face.
“A certain Quinn Fabray called the office. Apparently her boyfriend hasn’t been responding to her texts and calls in days.”
“Ah.”
“As your associate, I advise you to call her back. Now.”
And Tadeja, bold as ever, shoves a phone into his hands. Quinn is on the other side of the line. Seeing no way out, Blaine goes into his office. Tadeja gives him a supportive pat on the back as he passes her, and Blaine wonders what Quinn’s told her.
Once he’s in the office, it’s time to face the music.
“Quinn?” he asks.
“Oh my God,” Quinn lets out a relieved sigh. She sounds on the verge of tears and Blaine feels an absolute pit in his stomach. “Finally.”
“Quinn, isn’t it in the middle of the night in LA?” Blaine tries to keep his voice calm. He knows he’s messed up.
“You haven’t texted! You haven’t called! I was worried sick!” Quinn yells. Blaine has to move the phone away from his ear. “I am literally about to travel to the other side of the world and them my boyfriend fucking ghosts me! What happened?”
“I… I’m sorry, Quinn. I really am.”
“Blaine, talk to me.”
Blaine tries. He needs to confess, because she’s right. It’s mid-April. She’ll be here in a few days. He needs to tell her that he cheated on her.
Oh fuck.
He cheated on her. With a man.
“Quinn, I-I… I can’t.”
It’s silent for a while.
“Who hurt you?”
That snaps Blaine out of his thoughts. Quinn’s tone’s shifted and now she’s ready to drop-kick anyone, but Blaine also feels even more guilty. His super supportive girlfriend is here to comfort him.
“Look. Quinn. I can’t tell you. I’m sorry, but I promise it won’t happen again.”
“Are you still expecting me?”
“Of course.”
Quinn is silent again. It feels like the silence goes on forever, but eventually she sighs.
“Okay. Okay. If you don’t want to talk, I will not force you. Just know that when you do want to tell me, I’m here for you.”
Blaine wipes away his tears. He didn’t even realise he started crying. Quinn is so loving and that makes all of this worse. But maybe this is what he needs. He needs to be reminded that Quinn is the girl for him.
“I miss you,” he croaks out, “I can’t wait to have you here.”
After all, once Quinn is here, everything will make sense again. Everything will go back to normal.
--
End notes: What is the saying? Denial is a river in Egypt? Oh Blaine.
But hi, yes, unexpected chapter. This was as unexpected for me as for you, but just to be clear, I cannot promise that the next chapter will be soon. It might be tomorrow. It might be next month. I am super busy with my thesis, so update schedule who? I don’t know her!
Regardless, thank you for sticking around.

Peter Pan at the Pantages Theatre:
(Unfortunately my picture of the cast board wasn't in focus. But it looked like the main cast was all in, with William Foon and Reed Epley in the roles of John and Michael respectively, with the other John/Michael actors playing Lost Boy roles.)
The show is probably the most clearly targeted to younger children of any that I've seen in the last year (including Mrs. Doubtfire and A Christmas Story). I haven't seen nor thought much about Peter Pan in literally decades, but as a kid I watched a recording of the old TV broadcast with Mary Martin multiple times. The parts I still remembered were most of the lyrics to "I'm Flying," the existence of Captain Hook's tarantella (it's how learned the word "tarantella"), and the scene where Peter Pan asks the audience to clap.
It is probably for the best that I forgot everything else, because after skimming through the video of the 1960 broadcast available online, every scene with Tiger Lily made my eyebrows rise straight up into my hairline. In this production there were changes to the book (made by playwright Larissa Fasthorse) to make those scenes less like blatant tired stereotypes as well as to modernize other parts of the setting and text; on occasion these changes seemed oddly grafted-on, but overall it is probably for the best. As an adult, watching this show was very much an exercise in wrestling nostalgia, with the weird result that during all of Act 1 my brain was telling me, "no, no, this boy who is played by a teenage boy should actually be a middle-aged woman with a pixie cut." There is no significant reason for this other than that's how I was used to seeing it, so if it's the first time a lot of kids are seeing this show, better that it's a version that doesn't have a really lazy, insulting portrayal of indigenous people.
Mildly spoiler-y notes below:
Highlight #1 of the show for me was Cody Garcia as Captain Hook; they were hammy and fun and well-calibrated as a comic villain, and it felt like the show came alive whenever they were in the scene. (I should add Kurt Perry as Smee into that as well.)
Highlight #2 was the main flying-to-Neverland scene, which was a simple but very effective use of background graphics/projections with stage flying effects.
Singing was generally good. Once I got used to the idea of Peter Pan being played by a male actor I thought Nolan Almeida did a pretty good job in the role. Acting overall was a mixed bag with highlights as noted above.
There was an extended Hamlet joke in Act 2 which seemed like it was throwing a bone to the adults in the audience (and frankly I was relieved to have it).
Audience: Not quite full but definitely contained lots of kids. The ones nearby were fairly chatty but I can excuse that for their age. The six-year-old behind me who responded "I love you" out loud after "Hook's Waltz" was 1000% a better audience member than the adult couple nearby who talked to each other and kept checking phones through the entirety of Act 1 (and thankfully left at intermission; I suspect they didn't know what kind of show they bought tickets for).

Welcome to the family, MAR! Your application to BLAINE ANDERSON was accepted. We’re really happy to have you around! Make sure to read the beginners checklist, and remember, have fun! We can’t wait to roleplay with you! Have fun!
IN CHARACTER
CHARACTER NAME: Blaine Devon Anderson CHARACTER AGE & DATE OF BIRTH: 28, April 5th OCCUPATION: Broadway actor and singer-songwriter FACE CLAIM: Darren Criss HOMETOWN & CITY WHERE LIVES NOW: Westerville, OH & New York City, NY SEXUAL ORIENTATION & GENDER: Gay, cis male RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Married to Kurt Hummel POSITIVE TRAITS: Driven, passionate, supportive NEGATIVE TRAITS: Dramatic, impulsive, vulnerable CHARACTER QUOTE/LYRIC: Sometimes if you want to make change, you’ve got to make a little noise.
HEADCANONS
Growing up with two parents who have busy jobs, and a brother who seems to be perfect at everything he does and is always the centre of attention, isn’t always easy. As a kid, Blaine idolized his big brother. He admired Cooper’s talent and confidence and wanted to be just like him, but Cooper always seemed to do everything better. No matter how hard Blaine tried to keep up with him despite their age difference, Cooper didn’t always seem to know, or care, that Blaine being ten years younger meant he didn’t have as much experience as Cooper himself, and he was extremely critical of his little brother. Cooper had no issues with pushing Blaine into the background — both literally and figuratively. But the harder Cooper pushed, the harder Blaine tried to live up to his expectations. And Cooper wasn’t the only one who had high expectations of Blaine — his father did too. There always seemed to be an underlying tension in the Anderson home, and Blaine often felt like he had to compete with Cooper for their father’s attention. Blaine worked hard on his talents and made sure to get good grades, and to always be polite and charming, hoping to earn his father’s affection that way. Trying to live up to his father and brother’s incredibly high expectations is one of the reasons Blaine is the perfectionist he is today. 
When Blaine came out of the age of thirteen, his father’s reaction wasn’t exactly what Blaine had been hoping for. There wasn’t much of a reaction at all, really, and the fact that his father almost seemed to pretend like it had never happened made things even more strained between them than they already were. Blaine would often feel like his father hoped that rebuilding a car with him or taking him to a football game might make him straight. Rationally, Blaine knew his dad loved him, but sometimes he couldn’t help but feel like he had to tone down his personality, to try to fit in more, and that being gay was something to do quietly in their house. There were times when they would barely speak to each other, one of them being after hiss father tried to convince him to choose a more reliable career path when Blaine announced he wanted to apply for NYADA, which resulted in many fights.
At school, things weren’t exactly easier when Blaine came out. A long year of bullying escalated at a Sadie Hawkins dance, and after ending up in the hospital and some long talks with his parents, Blaine ended up transferring to Dalton Academy. It was easy to blend in at his new school, the uniform and anti-bullying policy offering a feeling of safety Blaine hadn't felt in a long time. But sometimes he couldn’t help but feel like he was playing a role instead of truly being himself, and part of him regretted running from his bullies.
While the performing arts, theatre and music have always been Blaine’s main interests and biggest passions, that doesn’t mean that it’s all he’s ever been interested in. As a kid, his parents let him pursue every interest his young self could think of, from piano, singing, dancing and acting to fencing, tennis and football. He climbed trees with other kids, read books at an impressive speed, learned how to bake and joined many clubs, much like he did in his senior year at McKinley. That doesn’t mean he was good at everything he tried, but that never stopped him from being open to trying new things. And he never stopped having a wide array of interests and hobbies — his taste in music is still all over the place, he still loves anything superheroes-related, still boxes, does yoga and attends aerobics classes, loves watching sports games and plays quite a few instruments.
When Kurt and Blaine moved back to New York after getting married, Blaine was offered a second chance at NYADA. After graduating with honours, he starred in Hairspray, West Side Story, Little Shop of Horrors, the very first LGBTQ production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf (alongside his husband) and, most recently, in Grease as Danny Zuko for which he has won a Tony. Performing on Broadway isn’t the only thing Blaine has been doing career-wise, though. When Audrey was born, Blaine took a break from the stage and started to focus more on writing music, and he can now proudly call himself a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter. His last performance as Danny Zuko is in just a few days, and he plans to take a little break again, to be able to spend more time with Audrey and to write new music. Blaine is also an advocate for protecting LGBTQ+ youth and anti-bullying. He speaks at schools and performs at charity benefits, and tries to volunteer as much as he can. Blaine is grateful for every opportunity he gets, and he knows that no matter what, he will always find ways to make art and help people. 
CONNECTIONS
PAM & ANTONIO ANDERSON (Parents): Blaine has always been much closer to his mother than to his father, especially after his coming out. Although his mother can be a little intense sometimes, she has always been very supportive of Blaine and is still his biggest fan. While his father is still much more emotionally distant, and Blaine still talks to his mother a lot more than he does to his father, he and Blaine have worked hard on improving their relationship. It’s still far from perfect, but things are much better between them now. COOPER ANDERSON (Half-brother): While there are still times when Blaine feels overshadowed by his brother, and they still bicker sometimes, their relationship is much better than it used to be. He knows that at the end of the day, Cooper has his back and tries his best to support him in his own way. KURT HUMMEL (Husband): They’ve certainly had their ups and downs in the past, but things are going better than ever between Kurt and Blaine. They’ve gotten much better at communicating, which is something Blaine continues to work on, and there is no one he would rather spend the rest of his life with or raise their daughter with. AUDREY HUMMEL-ANDERSON (Daughter): Blaine had always known that he wanted to have kids some day, and he absolutely adores being a father. He sings her to sleep every night, happily lets her paint his nails and is always up for a tea party or dance party. While he tries not to spoil her too much, he often can’t resist her pleading eyes and finds himself giving in to her requests more often than not. SAM EVANS & TINA COHEN-CHANG (Best friends): When Blaine felt lost at McKinley, Sam was the one who was there for him and stopped him from running away to Dalton, and Blaine will always be grateful for the way Sam helped him through that rough time. Together with Tina, they formed an inseparable trio during their senior year, and his friendship with both of them is still as strong as ever. RACHEL BERRY (Best friend): Blaine has admired Rachel’s talent and ambition from the very first time he’d met her, and while he already considered her a friend when they were both in high school, the two of them truly became close when they both found themselves back in Ohio. Their bond became even stronger when Rachel agreed to be their surrogate and he considers her one of his best friends.
