not to be controversial but i got something to say!!!

i don’t think it was wrong for kurt to have had crushes on sam and finn (aka crushes in straight guys). there’s this weird thing that people (mostly on other social media spaces) that criminalize kurt for having a crush. and i could go into how people don’t have the same sentiment when blaine had a crush on sam, but that’s not what this is about so i won’t discuss it here.

kurt was a teenager who wanted to be desired the way that everyone else at his school was. him having a crush on a straight guy who was kinda nice to him is no different than if a girl had done the same thing.

i think this goes especially so in the case for finn. yeah, we can discuss all day about how he was “going way too far” with it, sure. but in a universe when every single main character has done something kinda egregious, i feel like that point loses its weight. the show shined a light heavily on how finn was uncomfortable with it, which is honestly more of a problem with finn than kurt in that regard (s1 and s2 finn had a homophobia streak like lets be kinda honest here). but bc finn was our main character, we were sort of supposed to sympathize with his discomfort. but in doing so, it causes a less media literate viewer to villainize kurt in the process

glee is so hard to watch because everyone’s so obsessed with rachel. in literally every episode of the first season they’re like “we can’t do glee without rachel we might as well just cancel the whole club if she’s not here” as if mercedes isn’t right there. it’s not like they gave the other kids a shot at trying her parts. everyone there is so incredibly talented and they just get ignored in favor of this spoiled, whiny little brat. in the fourth episode of the show, rachel quits the club because someone else gets a solo. instead of saying lol good riddance a spoiled, whiny little brat would slow this club down and make all of the other kids feel like shit, everyone is like no rachel is so so talented she’s the most talented person in the world and nobody else compares so we have to get her back actually. meanwhile mercedes, santana, and tina could have sung all of her solos just as well if not better than she could. and they still win when she’s not in charge. in sectionals of both seasons two and three she’s not there and they still win! i hate you rachel berry and i hate you ryan murphy and justice for mercedes jones.

you were so real for your rant on your latest post. i always feel so icked out when schue is credited for having any part in the larger aspects of kurt’s happiness. schue represents the club and he did fuck all to protect kurt from literal harassment and death threats. santana and blaine did more for him in that respect than schue ever did. kurt was treated like an accessory in the club most of the time, and the few times that he had the opportunity to shine, he was sidelined.

Right?!

No one grouped together as a club to build Kurt up. The girls sent their boyfriends to "talk" to Karofsky and that didn't do anything. Schue didn't pull Karofsky aside to find out what was going on. It was a simple shrug off. And Kurt was left to defend himself by himself (which in the end is fine, it proves how independent he truly is and has to be to get shit done).

The one time they group together for Kurt it's for religious reasons which he makes quite known how uncomfortable he is with that and they do it anyway.

He had to transfer schools to feel safe.

He always feels like he has to scream to get noticed, otherwise he's overlooked and sidelined. He and Mercedes joined the Cheerio's because they were tired of playing in the back! I swear if Kurt wasn't Rachel's lap dog in season 3, he wouldn't have stayed in the new directions and would've gladly transferred to the troubletones but I digress.

Even in the Warblers. Blaine only gives him a duet after catching feelings at long last - with a weird duet as it is but whatever, that's my own personal ick. So the Warblers may have been safer than the New Directions in terms of safety from personal attacks, but he wasn't rallied for by any club. But still, why does Blaine have to realize Kurt is the love of his life before Kurt is granted a duet? Yeah yeah the writers suck I know

THE BOTTOM LINE IS: Glee club didn't save Kurt Hummel. Kurt Hummel saved Kurt Hummel with building his own support system since no one was going to do it for him. And I will die on this hill because Kurt Hummel deserved the best and got the worst but he made the best of it and made it work in his favor nonetheless. Kurt Hummel decides his fate and happiness, no damn club.

But thank you for reading my rant, I didn't know if anyone still read them. 🤭

Listen. If there's two things the world absolutely DOES NOT need any more of, it's Glee covers and AI generated bullshit.

Troy Barnes, Jeff winger, And Abed nadir are better asshole protagonists who are likable, have character development, fantastic autistic representation and great Lgbt representation than Santana Lopez , Finn Hudson, and Brittany Pierce.

you know, of all the crazy plots from glee people bring up, no one ever brings up burt hummel getting into congress as a write-in candidate

[calmdownperverts]

when you hear “shining star” by earth, wind, and fire at work and suddenly have glee flashbacks.

“you’re going to suffer but you’re going to be happy about it.”

[thousand-page-dreams]

So Glee made has an official Spotify Pride playlist and didn’t include Rose’s Turn, or Not the Boy Next Door, but has Lucky and Faithfully on it? Make it make sense.

predictably i love skeleton crew. i love annoying children

edit: sorry added a meme

ALSO i feel like 80% of the time anyone complains about rachel anyway, it's not even for anything racist that she says which lbr is nothing worse than anything out of miss santana lopez's mouth but whatever it's about like. sending a girl to a crackhouse. like there is not a more unserious moment you could pick to get upset about alksfjskl be so fr

ppl will happily ignore the antisemetic and racist and homophobic shit said in this show bc they’re always treated as jokes and said by characters that are framed as “mean” or “popular”.

rachel has said/done some things worthy of criticism. but what people end up actually criticizing her for is never things that actually hold any weight (like the crackhouse thing like that’s SOOOO unserious when i would argue her assuming sunshine didn’t speak english was objectively more offensive but i never really hear ppl mention that)

but as we’ve learned, mean-spirited things are only bad when the “loser” kids are saying them. biphobia is only bad when kurt does it (not santana). racism is only bad when rachel does it (not brittany).

make it make sense!!!!!

Glee twitter try to separate character from actor challenge: impossible.

Hate hate hateee a bitch that can't separate an actor from a character

Also implying like. Rachel's racist comments on the show aren't funny only bc Lea is racist in real life but someone like Santana's racist comments are still funny bc Naya was nice in real life?? ok

[nopenopenopeblee]

A/ Is Murphy involved, and if so what pity roles are they giving Blarren and Lea?

B/

hey. hey, quick question. are we in hell?

So I was Googling multiple shows that I watch/have watched to determine approximately how long the average episode of Up Here is gonna be in relation to them (longer than an episode of Friends but shorter than an episode of The Flash fyi), and I'm cackling at the order the writers of Glee are listed in.

Google said Chris is the most relevant writer. 😂

[darkesttimelinesblog]

Is community, a fantastic show with brilliant characters, funny humor, iconic quotes and scenes, amazing writing, outstanding directing, good LGBT representation, spectacular diversity, character Development and great episodes better than Glee?

Yes… yes it has and it would always will be till the end of time.
