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

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

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.

[darkesttimelinesblog]

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.

[quinnmorgendorffer]

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.

[cryscendo]

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!!!!!

[sapphic-agent]

Will Schuester can kick rocks, but a big difference between him and Finn is that at least the show makes a point to call Will out a lot. 93% of the time we're not meant to agree with him. He either admits he's wrong and apologizes (early seasons) or he's so cartoonishly antagonistic that there's nothing to even defend (later seasons).

Meanwhile the show bends over backwards to make Finn the victim in situations where he's absolutely not

[angelhummel]

i think when mr schue got on stage to accept his teacher of the year award kurt, quinn, mercedes, santana, and tina should've taken turns beating him with hammers instead. just my unpopular opinion ♡

[varietysky]

have you seen the trailer for the discovery documentary on glee? bc it looks. really terrible but i'd love to hear your thoughts (and sorry i keep asking you about glee lol you're just like. the only other person i know who's watched it and also your opinions on it are very good)

Waitttt is it the documentary about "the dark side of glee" or whatever? Where they were basically comparing Cory's and Naya's deaths to Mark's? Cuz if you mean that trailer, then I've only seen the first parts of it on the bird app.

It feels... not great. It doesn't feel like it was made out of any real love for Cory, Naya, and the people who loved him (their families and the cast). Like idk I guess I understand what it's trying to do, but the framing of it feels like they just want to turn a profit while Glee is back in the zeitgeist. I don't know if any of the cast were even involved.

Like when they said we'd be getting a glee documentary I was expecting more of a retrospective, behind the scenes sort of thing. Not... this

[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?
