#yall are delusional#i have SO much beef with duets idcccccc#i’m not about to pretend that i don’t#one of the homophobia eps of all time and i’ll say that!!!

literally literally literallyyyy. let me second that with my whole heart. once upon a time about 3 years ago i decided to put on a random lil fun glee episode and picked duets and i ended up with so much hate in my heart lmao. mostly for finn. it fucking sucks and made me mad and also just sad for kurt

also river deep mountain high is overrated, just to keep being controversial lol. but its my truth

im looking up "anti finn hudson" on my blog archive and the whole month of october 2020 is just about 2x04 alksjfsdlkfs

i feel youuuuuuuuu!!!

and i think that i realize now that people think fondly of finn bc of cory. but i feel like its important to separate cory from finn when it comes to perception of the two of them. we as a society should be smart enough to know that cory and finn are NOT the same people

also i just hate that they basically put exactly ONE banger in the ep (le jazz hot) and expect us to forgive for every other atrocity that happened in the ep

like how can people TRULY watch finn be homophobic on sam’s behalf towards his own brother and be okay with it???? “No means no” but finn is the only one actually saying no in this equation. like how did they frame an entire ep around making kurt feel bad about liking a boy. (though i shouldn’t be surprised they love doing that)

it feels honestly like sometimes, finn wants to erase every kindness that anyone ever shows kurt

i’m with you on the duets beef foreverrrrrr

top five glee episodes?!

This was sooo difficult, I have a top 10 list in my notes app and cutting it down to 5 HURT!! This is them in chronological order because I cannot order them in terms of preference :')

1. Bad Reputation (1x17)

This is the perfect glee episode imo. It understands what glee is meant to be, the satire is *on point* if all of glee was in this tone society would have flying cars

2. Blame it On the Alcohol (2x14)

It's popular for a reason, this episode is so funny and very teenage in a silly way which I love

3. Original Songs (2x16)

Changed lives!! Quintessential glee! Need I say more

4. Prom Queen (2x20)

I LOVE THE ANGST! Every storyline is 10/10, acting is on point, tunes are amaaazing

5. The Hurt Locker Part 1&2 (6x4&5)

The people who didn't make it to season 6 REALLY missed out on this masterpiece. Again, this is the tone that glee should be (utterly bonkers)

Honorable mentions (aka the others on my top 10 list): Throwdown, Saturday Night Gleever, Guilty Pleasures, Puppet Master, Michael

#i already talk about my opinions on glee episodes so much with the polls but thank you Alice for allowing me to do it even more 🙏 #i feel like a lot of these are pretty klaine centric which is not my intention but they are two of my favourite characters so... #these are just the ones i enjoy the most! #i KNOW putting a two parter in there was a sneak shhhh #asks

Name five scenes that show off Blaine’s best qualities?

sorry for taking a couple days to respond I knew I'd really have to sit and think this one out!

the first scene that comes to mind is when finn basically baits him into thinking he's going to get a solo but is actually talking about rory. while like 90% of the other glee characters would yell at him, storm out, or slap somebody, he just says it's a great idea and rory will do a great job. I think it's something people get wrong about his character all the time, that because he sings a lot he's a diva the likes of rachel. I know anderberry is popular but I think they're more disimilar than people think. rachel throws a fit when things don't go her way. the kick to blaine's character is whether he gets something good or not he doesn't mind. I think it's a really endearing quality. he loves singing, and does it whenever he gets the chance, but he also is so positive about sharing the spotlight in a way that's sort of rare on the show. another example to this point is that he was willing to not audition for tony for kurt, or that he always is featured in group numbers or a duet in competitions after joining NDs.

which reminds me of the whole thing in season five where tina offers him a solo for nationals because everyone agreed he deserves it for working hard, and then like two episodes later when he got valedictorian they're mad he got a solo because he gets 'handed things' but they were the ones who handed him this thing. and then he doesn't perform a solo at nationals and does a duet with tina, who was the one mad at him also. what. anyways. back to the question at hand LOL

secondly we always have to acknowledge the scene at the end of prom queen. i think it's a really beautiful moment of character growth. blaine in season two is clearly someone who went through some things and is very afraid because of this, and we get this very special moment where he faces his fears for kurt. to me it shows his heart. he loves sooo big

a third thing i really like is blaine standing up for jane in season six. at first he's a little thrown off by the whole thing but he ends up being fully behind her and i think it shows a good quality that even after the vote when she maybe doesn't even want to be in the group anymore he threatens to quit. just wants to make things right either way!!

fourthly can i just say a lot of his relationship with sam? in general i think the way he handles having a crush on him shows this quality he has in sort of putting those he cares about before himself (not always so much to the healthiest degree.. but he's sweet). he really wants to make people happy. i think for the last scene i can point out this in a lot of his friendships but i think i'll refer to my favorite: tina. particularly when he's concerned about her in the season five premiere so he schemes to make the guys take her to prom. that's his best friend who is so mean and he just wants to help her. anyways this has been long and gone a little all over the place but here you go.

this is a random question lol, but what are your thoughts on "Old Dog, New Tricks" and Chris Colfer as a writer (based on it)?

We love random questions around here!

Gonna be honest with you, I haven't seen that episode in full in over two years and it's gonna be another year before I get to it on my rewatch at this rate, so unfortunately I don't think I can go into a ton of detail. As in, a full analysis of Chris as a writer. But dw I won't just leave it at that I do have some thoughts.

I recently heard 5x19 be referred to as a low-rated and badly received episode, which I found curious. I'm not sure by what metric that is but especially by standards of that era of the show I consider it to be quite solid. I don't have strong feelings about the main plots of the nursing home play and the dogs as like, a base concept. Most things depend on execution and it was executed well enough. I wonder what parameters he was given, what could happen what couldn't, but as far as penultimate episodes of seasons go it's pretty much your standard slice of life stakes-wise.

What I can talk about more in-depth and what directly related to Chris as a writer is the character moments he included. At the very least and off the top of my head, there are 3-4 great character moments that tell me Chris paid attention to this cast of characters and took care to keep whatever shred of continuity Glee was still hanging onto at that point. Frankly, Chris seems to have cared more for these characters than the actual writers' room did in these late seasons.

What I'm talking about in particular are these details:

Kurt, obviously. It's understandable that Chris wrote an episode with a major Kurt plot and it was a breath of fresh air to focus on him separate from the main group, even if only for a beat. Two standout moments are a) him standing up to/calling out Rachel, which actually leads somewhere unlike it often does in NYC. See my second bullet point. And b), even more importantly and in a detail that so often lacks from the series, Kurt talking about his mother to Maggie's daughter. Such a small scene in the grand scheme of things but very poignant and the one I remember the most from this episode (sans Santana). That moment really made me go "oh Chris gets Kurt." He cares about this character enough to pay attention to this, imo, crucial detail.

Rachel's is a smaller one but also on two fronts, one on the Kurt of it all and like I said in the way that she actually goes to support him and concedes to be a more supportive friend. This is a lesson Rachel learns a lot but this is among the better executions of it. And the second is her general arc of at least trying to do good things because they're good and not just for optics. Shame this sentiment is limited to this one episode.

Santana! Of course, my beloved. Chris Colfer singlehandedly gave me PR Santana, who I hold onto dearly and fight in the name of, against all the lawyer Santana stuff. It was a great direction for her character to take and I'm grateful Chris gave us this, even if we never hear from PR Santana again. More thoughts on PR Santana here. The Pezberry shenanigans are also great. And we have a detail here, too, with the brilliant Santana line "in high school ... I was voted best shoulder to cry on and most likely to poison someone", which tells me that Chris gets Santana, too. Love that. God the feels I have about that line lol.

I also have to shout out the Sam stuff, maybe not in general because frankly I don't remember but at least one detail. Chris seemed to be the only writer to remember season 2 Sam and the way he was working hard to protect and support his family, and the impact that must have had on him. Later seasons lean into Sam the himbo, but, tbh, not in a way I find particularly charming just because they really emphasize his... carelessness, I guess. His immaturity, that's a better word. So he's not the himbo from season 2 but someone a lot less capable and more of a caricature version than he used to be, and that's not the direction in which it should go. BUT, that said, Chris takes the time to examine this with Sam and takes care to remember how Sam had to grow up too quickly, how he did have to be mature before. I don't think it goes anywhere but that's on Glee much more than it is on one-off episode writer Chris Colfer.

Writing characters well has been my primary focus for as long as I have been looking at media critically and Chris Colfer succeeded on that front for sure. These are the main things I remember from the episode and the main aspects of it that make me look back on Chris' writing fondly.

I've been meaning to check out Chris' books or just anything from him as a writer because I am curious. In interviews, he's always so quick-witted and good with words. The main thing, apart from Old Dogs, that I think about in terms of Chris as a writer is his Variety tribute piece to Naya. It's not only a heartwarming (and -wrenching) piece but damn you can tell the man's a writer. A good one, at that. He just has that instinct, based on this piece. Where the words flow and the arc of what he's saying makes sense on a deeper level. So yeah I'm curious, and maybe I'll rewatch Old Dogs earlier than planned just to view it from that perspective this time around.

#this is probs my last answer for 2022 #weird! see you all next year so like tomorrow lol #this is more about the details of the ep rather than overall because i remember details better #but could be fun to take a critical look at the ep at some point #anon #glee asks #chris colfer #old dogs new tricks #glee's writing #god i also hate the bts drama that was going on while filming this episode #hatehatehate it results in santana being absent from 5x20 and therefore becoming nonexistent in my eyes #long post #why do i gotta write novels as replies lol

Elliott & Nate in Night Of Neglect?

Elliott doesn't sing, but he dances, even if I'm not really sure on which song... Maybe a remake of Billy Elliot... And I also want him to have a duet with Mike!

Nate sings Paradise by Coldplay and Eppure Sentire by Elisa (he sings a lot of italian songs, he's very proud of his origins, just like me ahahah)

Observing the fandoms of shows I watch that have lots of fans that skew younger makes me kind of marvel at how different things are in online fandom even just 10 years after I was their age.

Like, I know I probably sounded like I was losing my mind every 5 seconds in posts I made as a teenager, but some things I see nowadays are actually concerning. I see people taking things waaaayyyyyy too seriously. It’s a TV show. It’s not obligated to go in the direction you want it to. It’s not the end of the world when it doesn’t. It’s not even the end of the TV show yet. Who’s to say it won’t go in that direction eventually, or even do something completely different that you’ll like even more than what you initially wanted? And outside the bubble of those younger fans on tumblr and twitter, no one really cares about the same issues that are being blown out of proportion here.

#no spoilers but i'll tag just in case #st spoilers #stranger things spoilers #specifically this is about stranger things and umbrella academy but i also saw it in the julie and the phantoms fandom too #but i'm seeing people act like a certain ship not becoming canon is the end of everything #am i the only one who had the sense to realize that realistically it probably wouldn't be canon and at least not right now if ever #like can we not joke about coming after a teenage actor because they ship the ship that didn't become canon and gave people hope #the actor just wanted to interact with fans. nothing malicious. honestly it's not even misleading. #anyway it's 2am and i watched stranger things this morning and then rewatched episode 8 when my brother watched it #and i'm still like processing the whole season so i can't even allow myself to pay attention to these younger fans #i just see the posts and tweets and i'm like '...nope... really glad i'm not that age right now... not gonna even touch that issue...' #honestly. these kids need glee. that desensitized me from asking for stuff from my shows because then it'd happen #and then it'd blow up in some weird way or just get undone by the end of a season or just be stupid and not what i wanted #only rarely did things i REALLY want to happen happen on glee. the rest of the time i was just along for the ride. #and that's the mindset i have when watching tv shows to this day. so honestly. thank you glee. #quick someone find the gif of soos in gravity falls saying 'this better be exactly like my fanfiction or i will be VERY disappointed.' #also something being hinted at and foreshadowed doesn't make it predictable when it happens. it makes it planned. #i swear. people are getting too used to shock killings or plot twists out of nowhere that they're forgetting what foreshadowing is. #the finale has a 9.6 rating on IMDB right now. a site that is infamous for being incredibly skewed if even half a fandom hates something. #(believe me. doctor who's IMDB ratings are all over the place due to a loud group of Thirteen's haters) #so if even a good chunk of the fandom disliked the finale then the score would be much lower. but it's not. #maybe it will go down a bit as more people watch. but this is not game of thrones. but i see people treating it like it is. #and really only focusing on 2 or 3 maybe 4 specific issues and writing off everything else. #(not trying to swat a hornet's nest or start crazy discourse and my anon is turned off so just don't come at me. i don't care.)

You know how they do like ‘Michael Jackson week’ , ‘Britney Spears week’ on glee? If 5SOS was on glee, what artist of the week would they suggest and which song would they sing?

why are you pretending like Nickelback isn't the only correct answer

Maya feels passionately that Calum would do a fantastic rendition of "Animals" (with "michael "shredding the guitar and ashton going nuts on the drums") and that Michael would destroy "You Remind Me."

And i feel pretty passionately that "Rockstar" would be a delightful lashton duet.

And then maybe a later in the episode, Ashton could give us all a dramatic rendition of "Savin' Me" because that is my personal favorite Nickelback song.

And then, seeing as I've literally written a song fic for it, it's legally required for Luke to sing "Next Contestant."

#pigeon #anon #also idk if you're the person who send the '5sos as glee' ask but #respectfully i cannot answer it #bc it will ruin several of my friendships <33 #in this episode cake/cashton are the dramatic ship #with ashton and luke fighting over calum #michael is just trying to get through his junior year alive ykwim
