#seblaine week

[akfanficlove]

Hey guys! I thought since we didn't do Seblainiversary this year, maybe we could do a little Christmas/New Year's-Challenge? Like take the promts "magical" (cause that's what christmas-time should be), "fire/fireworks" (in the literal or metaphorical sense), "new beginning" (what a new year can be) and "true happiness" (what I wish for all of us) and just ✨️create✨️

I think I am in desperate need of some of the joy Seblaine Week and other events usually bring me, so I'll be doing it anyway and would love for you all to join me ❤️

[imogenlefay]

Is it the time of the year again where I realize my story was only half done and I post anyway and can only hope not to forget finishing the stories once the event is over? Why yes, I believe it is!

Chapters: 2/? Fandom: Glee Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Blaine Anderson/Sebastian Smythe Summary:

Being a better person is all very well, fostering real friendships is all very well, making amends is all very well, and the Beatles are all very fucking well, but no one told Sebastian that doing the right thing would hurt so much. The last time he talked to Blaine before today, Sebastian said that being nice sucks. For the first time, it really feels true.

 The day after Blaine proposes to Kurt, Sebastian wakes up a year and a half earlier, in November of 2011.

He's with Sebastian, he's planning for college, and the Warblers are planning how they'll win a national championship. It's just that there are things he and Sebastian don't talk about, and there are people and forces that keep getting in their way, from exes to show choir rivals to the college admissions process to the fact that Sebastian still hasn't said "I love you" back...but it's fine. Honestly. They have each other, and they have their friends, and this is going to be a great year. Honestly.

Hey, Seblainers! Hellooooo, everyone else!

After a seriously stressful few months, I'm finally getting a bit more back to normal and can breathe a bit more easily at last, so of course that means...it's time to decide when Seblaine Week 2024 will be held!

Now, the first poll is going to be a bit different, and let me explain why that is: I was absolutely flabbergasted by the success of 10 Days Of Seblaine, and once again would like to thank everyone who offered support and sent me such kind messages after my Mum was rushed into hospital so suddenly last year. As you all know, that meant I had to sadly postpone Seblaine Week 2023 from the original August dates, and after a vote, it was unanimously decided that we would have a 10 day event, that would comprise Seblaine Week 2023 AND Seblainiversary Weekend 2023, and it was held last November

I want to preface this next by saying that Seblainiversary Weekend 2024 will be unaffected this year and will be going ahead from Friday 8th November until midnight on Sunday 10th November 2024. So you can pop that one in your diaries, and the themes will be announced much nearer to the time.

However! I have actually received a lot of lovely messages (including, surprisingly, some from people who aren't technically even part of our tiny, (but always fierce!) Seblainer fandom, but followed along with the event), to say how much 10 Days Of Seblaine 2023 was enjoyed by you all, and the one thing I have been repeatedly asked is; can I please consider making our main Seblainer celebration a 10 day event from now on?

I honestly have no problem with that whatsoever, but I would probably take things on a year to year basis, asking the same question every May. For now, though, I want to make this entirely your decision, so the first poll has simply two options: Do you want a traditional 7 day Seblaine Week 2024, or do you want 10 Days Of Seblaine 2024?

Just to clarify; if the 10 day event is chosen, it will have 9 themes and a free day, and Seblainiversary Weekend 2024 will take place separately in November, as previously detailed above. Following the result of this first poll, and depending on whether we will be working with a 7 or a 10 day event, I'll post the various date choices before the end of May. The following week, we'll vote for our themes.

Please bear in mind that voting is restricted to one vote per person for the duration of the poll. The first poll will be open for voting from today until midnight GMT on Saturday May 11th, 2024.

P.S. I'm well aware that you are all still waiting for the 10 Days Of Seblaine Masterpost, and this will be completed and posted by mid-June. Thank you all for bearing with me during what was (and still often is!) a hectic and stressful time of upheaval. Please let me know if the poll doesn't work properly. Just send me a message or come off Anon and send me an Ask.

**Please note in advance that none of the nine 10 Days of Seblaine 2023 themes can be used for this year's event!**

Vote here, and please reblog and share this poll.

Love you all, and I am really looking forward to hosting our big event and seeing what all our insanely talented Seblainers come up with!

first line tag game

Rules: post the first line(s) of your 10 most recent WIPs

thanks @daisyishedwig for the tag!

4. There’s always some twist when it comes to Sebastian.

it’s never just ‘just’ [working title] [songfic]

5. Sebastian realizes that Blaine /gets/ him when he hasn’t slept in two days and Blaine’s the only one to have noticed

to know is to love [standard sad bullshit turned seblaine week work, actually that applies to a lot of these]

6. This scene’s so familiar it’s practically a memory—the wounds, the yelling, the tears.

Seblaine x incorrect quotes. 🫶🏻

[daisyishedwig]

I love making Sebastian just overwhelming horny for Blaine. Because same, Sebastian, same.

Blaine was drenched in a sheen of sweat, his curls soaked and hanging in his eyes, smearing the sweat glistening on his forehead. His jeans had been replaced with sweatpants and instead of his usual band tee he was wearing a tight white tanktop that hugged every line of every abdominal muscle and showed off every flex of his shoulders and arms as he worked over the punching bag in front of him.  Sebastian’s mouth watered. He leaned against the lockers across from Blaine and watched, focusing hard on controlling his own body’s reaction to the image in front him. He didn’t need to look desperate. He needed to look cool and collected and aloof.  But Blaine never made that easy for him. Sebastian had always been the person to leave others flustered. To watch them stutter over their words and blush and struggle to meet his eye. Flirting was second nature to him. It came so easily he oftentimes forgot he should maybe tone it down.  Blaine Anderson flipped the script. He left Sebastian at a loss for words, struggling to come up with his usual snark. His heart pounded when Blaine met his eyes in the hallway or when they sat beside each other in French. Blaine’s accent was fucking terrible and still made Sebastian’s stomach swoop when he’d lean over to make a joke in Sebastian’s ear.  It was effort to treat Blaine like any other boy he’d been interested in. And it was exhilarating.  Blaine stilled the swinging bag with his hands as he paused for breath. He pulled his shirt up and wiped his face with it. It took everything in Sebastian to not audibly whimper. He did let his eyes rove over Blaine’s exposed skin. He licked his lips as his gaze sank to the bulge in Blaine’s pants.

I fell into the deepest depression I’ve had for years when Buck and Tommy broke up. I just wanted to cry so badly but decades of trauma kept me from doing that. Add on that Trump had just been re-elected, and add in that my Dad had been admitted to hospital with a collapsed lung it just took me down.

I’ve mostly gotten over it. I spent 24 hours writing my idea of a fix it fic (won’t happen on show cause they all suck but it was cathartic). I can’t remember what caused my breakdown but I did end up crying. My eyes felt less puffy after as well.

I understand that it’s a fake relationship in a fake show but something about it spoke to me. And just watch it end hurt me worse. The last time I had actually cried hard was in 2021 when my mother-in-law passed away from COVID. So why did this stupid relationship affect me so much. I feel embarrassed for reacting this badly. I don’t even like to talk to my partner about it because he wouldn’t understand.

Hi, Nonnie! Thank you for your ask.

I am so, so sorry to read that. Listen - it's not stupid. It's not embarrassing So don't think your feelings surrounding it and your reaction to any of it is that, because I promise you: nothing about it should make you feel embarrassed.

Here is the thing: Art, in whatever form, is one of the things that move people the most, historically*. Art is a universal language that doesn't simply exist in a painting or a sculpture but in a myriad of different forms that, especially in the last few decades, have expanded immensely. Art can be a channel for our emotions, can be our choice of escapism, can be the thing we see ourselves reflected in and thus, the thing that we connect to because, hey - that's us. And if we see 'us' overcoming on screen, surely we can overcome in real life, right? That's one of the reasons why representation is so damn important.

Yeah, it was a relationship. But it shouldn't be reduced to just that. Instead of dismissing our feelings by making our issue seem nonsensical and small, let's think - my issue was because a piece of Art I connected to deeply was dealt with in a damaging way. And that carries consequences.

There is also the fact that, I think, for a lot of us, it was more than the break-up. The biggest thing to take into context was the election because it is just a matter of fact that we needed a win so bad that week, and we got the opposite of that. To get a bit more personal, I was already dealing with my town being hit with the worst natural disaster in my country this century, still had to hear from some of my friends to know if they were okay or even alive (fortunately, they're all fine), and I was seeing only tragedy whenever I went online. So this happening hit me really hard as well - but, like you, it was one of the things. Still, I spent three days barely able to take a bite and barely able to sleep, and a week with really high anxiety.

And sure, I did feel silly, but if I do love one thing, I sure do love introspection, I reached the aforementioned conclusion and reflection on Art (let me know if it helped or is a bunch of bs tho).

I think what you're doing, writing a fix-it fic, is amazing! You're channeling your feelings through Art, and I am sure it does feel very cathartic. I haven't written for 911 yet (definitely want to, I have some ideas that could work), but I have some years of writing for Marvel and Seblaine (Glee) on my back, so trust me when I say this is the better choice you could do - channel your feelings through your Art, and you will end up with something beautiful, I'm sure of it.

Sorry this was too long, but I'm here if you (or anyone else) needs to rant, vent, or discuss something (911 or whatever, something else is valid as well)

Take care, Nonnie <3 and all of you as well <3

*I have a bachelor's on this, please trust me on it lmao

Muddy Showers

(just a very seblaine meet cute)

Sebastian had heard enough about Blaine to know to stay away. He was top bitch at Dalton. Leader of the debate team, Captain of The Warblers, a bit of a heartbreaker. And absolutely gorgeous. With his hazel eyes, long lashes and curls that would break through their gel prison after every gym class. Which is one class Sebastian was very glad they had together. The taller boy had only moved to Westerville two weeks ago, so he was still getting acquainted with everyone, but he had already made a name for himself as captain of the lacrosse team. He knew it was only a matter of time before Blaine and him crossed paths, especially considering Sebastian was going to be trying out for The Warblers on Friday, but he hadn't exactly planned their first meeting to go like this. Sebastian jogged into the locker room, panting softly and covered in mud from a rainy morning practice, immediately heading to the showers. He hated being dirty. Peeling his jersey shirt off, he turned the shower handle to let the water heat up as he finished unclothing, jumping slightly when he heard a shower a few feet away turn on as well, under the impression he was alone. Then he heard it. Soft singing, barely audible over the running water, but just loud enough for Sebastian to be entranced. He knew The Warblers were excellent at their craft, but he'd yet to hear any of their voices in person, only on grainy YouTube videos of their competitions.But this was different. This was clear and crisp and, dare he say it, dreamy.

Blaine hated gym class. He never had enough time to properly do his hair after showering, and he definitely wasn't going to his second class of the day all sweaty. Especially not with the new kid there. He'd taken notice of him when he realized they had basically the exact same schedule, which must mean the taller boy was as smart as he is. He also had taken notice of the fact he was very attractive. All tall and pale skin and the prettiest chestnut hair. Exactly Blaine's type. But he'd heard whisperings, rumors really, that Sebastian was known to...get around. And after Blaine's last relationship, he really didn't need to be thinking about how pretty the other boy was. Shaking the thoughts out of his head, he sighed contently as he stepped under the warm water, closing his eyes and tipping his head back, letting the water bead down his face. It wasn't long before he was humming his upcoming number for Regionals, not even realizing that he had started singing softly until he heard a voice singing along. Smiling a little to himself, he couldn't help but take note of how well they harmonized together, wondering which Warbler was in the shower room with him. After he finished washing his body, he stepped out and wrapped a towel around his waist, pushing his wet curls back from his forehead. "Nick?" He called out, his friend having done similar impromptu duets in the past. "Sebastian." The voice answered back, cool and confident in it's correction. And then suddenly the other boy was stepping out of the shower as well, his waist already draped with a towel, much to Blaine's dismay and embarrassment.

"Oh! Hello! Nice to finally meet you!" Blaine greeted, a little too giddy, which Sebastian noticed judging by the smirk on his face. "Same to you." He said, not bothering to hide the fact he was looking Blaine over thoroughly. God, the things he would do to that boy. His thoughts were interrupted by Blaine clearing his throat and giving him a bit of an annoyed look, though his cheeks were bright red. "Right. Well, I heard you singing. You should audition for The Warblers! We're kind of like rock stars around here." Blaine said as he tightened the towel around his waist, much too aware of the other man's staring. Sebastian's smirk turned into a wide grin that made Blaine smile as well, though he didn't know what for exactly. "Oh, I was already planning on it. Rock stars, though? Tell me more." Sebastian said, his tone light and teasing as he stepped behind his open locker door, dropping his towel and chuckling softly when he heard Blaine's breath catch in his throat. They got dressed in silence, Sebastian's mind racing with all the things he wanted to do to Blaine and Blaine's mind not far behind. But the bell was ringing soon and it also wouldn't be the most classy move on Blaine's end, so thoughts were all they had. For now, at least.

[seblainepolls]

Welcome to Seblaine Polls

Hello! I've been really enjoying the way Klainepolls has brought the fandom together and gotten everyone talking and theorizing about them and I really wanted to create a space for Seblainers to do the same.

Currently, the plan is to have two polls a week, posted on Monday and Friday. And after each poll ends, I will share my favorite comments and tags.

I have a number of poll ideas already, but I will gladly take suggestions for questions you'd like to see asked.

First poll will be posted tomorrow (12/1/2023)

This blog is run by @daisyishedwig

[hevanderson]

ALSO if you’re still doing the ship questions, then seblaine? 👀

i'm going to say in advance that i'm sorry, none of these are going to be happy, i am not a traditional seblainer

when i started shipping it if i did:

i started having thoughts about them during my re-watch of like .. late season 4 with my friend jules. she had an idea about them hooking up around glease and it gave me brain worms

my thoughts:

they need to have THE most insane and awful relationship for, at most, three weeks and then have THE most firey and destructive breakup during season 4. they cannot be romantic or sexual before or after that. they can't even be romantic DURING

what makes me happy about them:

thinking about them breaking up

what makes me sad about them:

nothing at all

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

the woobification of sebastian.. and the idea that blaine liked sebastian back romantically in s3

things i look for in fanfic:

i don't read fanfic about them ❤️

who i’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: 

blaine with kurt of course + sebastian either by himself or with jesse st james

my happily ever after for them:

divorce

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

sebastian would be the bigger spoon + blaine would be the little spoon

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

thinking about other people while they're with each other

[lusthurts]

this month is like the biggest month of the year for my job but when it is over and i go on winter break i am actually so excited for the sheer amount of fanfiction i’m about to consume

like i still haven’t gotten to read most of the works from 10 days of seblaine, i’m in the middle (almost at the end) of a 900k+ wolfstar fic, i actually can’t wait

[seblaineworld]

Hey, Seblainers! Hellooooo, everyone else!

Thank you so much for all your lovely messages about my Mum, and the necessity of moving Seblaine Week 2023. I'm truly grateful for all your kindness, support and understanding. Mum's doing very well and being made to take it easy - something she actually hates! 😁

Having read through the responses here and also the many messages and Asks we have received, it's quickly become overwhelmingly apparent that pretty much everybody is happy that Seblaine Week 2023 needs to be delayed. In fact, several people have said it would actually suit them much better if it was pushed back at least a couple of months!

So..I have a proposition for you all...As things stand, we would have Seblaine Week 2023 running from 4-10th September, then a weekend to celebrate Seblainiversary 2023 in November.

What if just for this year, we combine them and run the dual event from Monday 6th until Sunday 12th November?

The reasoning behind this is, a common comment from those who have replied about the delay has been, "I can always use more time to write," so while November might seem a long way off - it really isn't, and will be upon us before we know it.

It would obviously give me a great deal of appreciated breathing space at what is a difficult time for me, and since I know many very busy Seblainers do find it difficult to write/create for two events in what's a pretty short space of time, it would seem to be a viable option and would take away the pressure of trying to come up with something for both events.

Please reply here, or send us an Ask by Monday 28th August with your thoughts on this proposal. Thank you again!

Ail 💜
