The only good thing about the Cheerio uniforms, tbh.
Also, Mike, bb? Beaming smiles don’t really project “badass.”
It really is a shame that every single one of them was not in a cheerio skirt for this number. :(
:-(((((((((((((((((((
but now im thinking of some scenario where they need cheerleader stand in’s for reasons and so mike, tina, and blaine get recruited spontaneously and idk again FOR REASONS mike and blaine wear skirts and twirl around in them and the hottest cheerleading team ever.
Yes, good. I like the way this is turning out.
Now I’m just picturing Mike, Tina, and Blaine recreating I Say A Little Prayer and it is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened in my head.
……..WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD IT
Can I borrow that thought because Ineed an excuse to draw Blaine and Tina’s assesit is a very deep, inspiring and symbolic concept that very much expresses how I feel about those characters and I’d be honoured if you’d let me draw it.
#i just have this headcanon that santana went up to blaine and was like ‘i’m going to help you beat his ass’ #she starts talking to him about how he has to be badass and how she’ll teach him #so she tells him to wear a sweatshirt with a hood and starts showing him moves #but then he stops her and tells her that he used to be in fight club #she raises an eyebrow and replies with ‘oh really?’ and her appreciation for blaine skyrockets #so that night they show up at the garage earlier than everyone else does #they make a pact that they’ll win putting all their differences aside #because sebastian cannot win and he won’t win #and the blaintana friendship was born
He slid the tape into the player and pressed play.
“Hello, Sebastian,” that Mexican chick’s voice purred. His eyebrows rose.
“Kurt might be the Jesus of the gays with his turn-the-other-cheek approach to dealing with preppy little toads like yourself, but you and I both know I wasn’t going to let you get away that easily,” she continued, biting and vicious, “Oh, don’t worry. I have the real recording of your dumb ass confessing to lacing that slushee and poking Blaine’s eye out. It’s currently tucked safely in my underboob, and I know you’d rather claw your own face off than put your hands in that area. I can send you a copy, if you’d like.”
The Dalton tie was suddenly a little too tight.
“No, this is my little gift to you, Deuce Bigalow. If I ever see you come anywhere near Kurt or Blaine - or anyone from my glee club - again? I will destroy you. And before you think about crying to your state’s attorney daddy like the helpless little boy you are, let me serve you up some reality: Kurt’s dad is also known as Congressman Hummel, and if he hears this tape? Your head will be on a platter, nicely torched by his flame-thrower. Metaphorically speaking, of course.”
Her voice suddenly turned soft and quiet, and somehow much more terrifying. “But this isn’t really about blackmail. No, because that would imply that you have something of value to me, when really? You’re a little ant, frozen underneath the heel of my favorite pair of boots, and it’s only a matter of time until I decide to crush you. So, Smythe, this isn’t really about blackmail or threats or me proving I’m better than you in every conceivable way (which I obviously have)…”
He cursed himself for holding his breath when she paused, deliberately letting the silence drip with tension. When she spoke again, he could hear the smile in her voice.
“This is a promise.”

"#was i the only one who thought this was sort of awkwardly overblown? #i mean i was creying because they are adorable but #he's not in yet? #like this is not a victory moment in my mind" The fact they were selling that as a big victory moment? That him being a finalist is what they put this focus on (Klaine piano theme and all)? Made me think that's as far as Kurt will go with NYADA and he's probably going to reject NYADA in the end, because he realizes his calling in life lies elsewhere.
This is a good theory, and I feel good about publishing it. It makes a ton of sense. And it allows my perception of the canon and my personal desires for the characters to line up for once, which is a nice extra incentive to go along with it I guess, lol.
Okay:
Rock salt and other salt-based ice melters contain sodium chloride or potassium chloride which can heat up to 175 degrees when exposed to water, ice, and low temperatures. Often these white pellets (crystals) sit on ice and snow surfaces for a long period before penetrating.
Now tell me…would you like a slushie with this stuff in it in your eyes?
now pretend that isn’t slushie.
Oh, God.
I feel like Kurt is half having that moment. I feel like Kurt keeps having to have this moment over Blaine — there’s the WSS death scene, then this shit happens, there’s his own backstory with loss, and Blaine’s backstory with violence. I bet Kurt has a lot of nightmares about Blaine’s untimely demise. And I bet it’s real bad in the wake of this.
I think part of the point of the staging here is to help along this identification and association. I can only imagine what it would be like for Kurt, experiencing the same feelings of violation and horror in real time and with real consequences that we experienced as part of the audience of this narrative.
To elaborate, we are MEANT to see this as a scene of violence and the coloring was chosen specifically for that reason. And it’s very powerful because the mock fighting mechanism of the show (dance offs) and the artificial bullying element of the show (slushies) came together to create a scene of real horror. We’ve been conditioned by the show to disassociate from its acts of menace (dodgeball? really?), so, in a way, by snapping the tone back to a terribly heightened reality (the color of the slushie combined with the actual harm), we feel a deeper disquiet than if Sebastian had literally pulled a knife. (Because on Glee, that would actually be ridiculous. Context is weird that way.) Because horror is something we feel in our brains, and imagined horror is sometimes much worse, and lingers longer, than real horror. For us and Kurt, the fact that it looks so much like real blood is almost as bad, and in some psychological ways, worse, than if it had been Blaine’s blood after all.
blaine’s happy wiggly feet tho :3
High as a kite.
(I say as someone who gets looped as fuck on even the mildest of prescription painkillers.)
