"Chris leaning away with his arms crossed is body language they should be looking at.' OK but that particular gif shows Chris perfectly still and not leaning in any direction? As to crossed arms, he's done that when Darren is nowhere to be seen. Here he's in a video with Adam Lambert who he seems to love, yet he has arms crossed and not looking at him (at 1:49). So, let's not over-analyze stuff to make it fit some assumption or other. youtube*com/watch?v=r7hGuKbkIyE

First I want to begin by saying that I didn’t go looking to overanalyze Chris/ Kurt. These are moments that immediately stuck out to me because Kurt/ Chris was so disengaged and uncomfortable that I felt uncomfortable and I wanted to figure out what made me feel that way.

This got LOOOONNNNGGGGGG

I have talked about this before but Chris was clearly over Glee, Klaine or both beginning sometime in Season 3, worsening until the final episode. My love for Klaine comes from canon Season 2 Glee and the abundance of amazing Klaine fanfiction. Season 2 Glee was still well-conceived and well written and Chris was having a great time both onscreen and with the press. But something changed in Season 3- the writing became inconsistent, soaring to greatness, The First Time and plummeting to the abysmal Previously Unaired Christmas. Fanon Klaine was able to avoid the pitfalls of the writers and Chris’s angst.

As for the BTS Broadway quiz, Chris is definitely leaning away from Darren. He’s sitting as far to the right as the chair will allow and leaning ever so slightly beyond that.

Many of the BTS interview Chris did with Darren give me the same feeling that Chris was uncomfortable and guarded. My gut reaction each time I watch those specific interviews is always the same, I am instantly uneasy. But I felt the same unease because Chris was uncomfortable when Kurt and Blaine showed any kind of intimacy after season 2. Darren’s Blaine was always all in. Darren is a great on-screen kisser. He always portrays the kiss as passionate whether he is kissing Kurt or Imogene. Chris on-the-other-hand was all in for their first kiss in Original Song but after that Kurt was progressively more uncomfortable and stiff, his walls up, leaving the kisses feeling forced and uncomfortable. I talk about each below.

Let’s talk about your point that Chris crossed his arms when he was with Adam. The link you provided (the entire video is at the end of the post):

This is from the very first few moments

Chris is comfortable- he is leaning TOWARD Adam and he’s engaged.

He chats and jokes during the entire piece.

Here they are at 1:49 as you recommended. He has crossed his arms however he is comfortable, he is still leaning toward Adam, he’s open and engaged.

Here he’s leaning (it is subtle) to the right of the chair-he’s as far away from Darren as the chair allows. His legs are crossed away from Darren, he’s closed off and only responding to Darren’s shenanigans. He isn’t engaged at all to begin. He does warm up a little. He cracks a smile and lets his arms go.

This wasn’t he only BTS interview that felt forced to me but I can’t find the one where they shot each other with Nerf guns…. anyone? If this was the only interview where Chris felt closed off I would agree it is over analyzing, but it isn’t. It is one of many.

Sometime during Season 3,something changed. Kurt became progressively more distant, his walls are up and he isn’t at all engaged in the scene work with Blaine, especially if he has to show intimacy. I couldn’t say whether he was over Klaine or he was over Glee or both. Several anons with Glee connections have told me that Chris was not happy with doing any BTS interviews and one person I know and trust implicitly has confirmed that he had be forced to do A Wedding BTS with Darren. During that interview, Chris isn’t as closed off physically but he isn’t having any of the romantic reminiscing about Klaine. He is harsh. He calls Klaine a disease, says Kurt and Blaine were a modern day Lucy and Ricky then imagines them become Fred and Ethel. He then imagines Klaine were Homeland style with Blaine being kidnapped by terrorists and Kurt going on a mission to rescue him and Blaine’s mom hating him. This is not romantic reminiscing but Klaine gone rogue. He goes on to call Klaine a country in Europe you would rather skip over and talk about how Klaine grew legs of it’s own, how difficult it was to deal with fans, and finally calling the fans and the experience, the Kragen- it can do big things but be a little scary…terrifying. Chris brings the conversation away from Klaine the couple and back to the stories they were able to tell before the couple got together and what is special is the reaction to them.

Some more examples of Chris being uncomfortable and stiff when Kurt should be in love: Kurt has been working to get back together with Blaine for months. They have a flirty song together- a song forced by Kurt manipulating the wheel of fortune -

and as they walk out afterwards, Kurt tries to get Blaine to stay “You sure you have to go, doesn’t sound like we are done in there” Kurt is flirty as they walk. Blaine goes in for a kiss. Kurt is stiff as a board, his arm is almost pushing Blaine away, and he literally leans his entire body back away from Blaine forcing Blaine to lean forward to chase Kurt’s head.

Kurt runs to Blaine’s house to beg him to take him back and he just as uncomfortable as he was after they same and Blaine kissed him. His neck is stiff, his arms are stiff. The only reason this even remotely works is because when Darren kisses on screen he goes ALL IN. He knows how to screen kiss and make it look sexy AF. He did the same thing with Kristen Wiig.

From Kurt’s angle- This doesn’t feel like Kurt is kissing his soulmate, the man he just ran down the street to win back. He lacks commitment and passion.

Now compare the kiss from the two perspective-it’s hard to believe it is the same kiss. Blaine is all passion and commitment. He’s going to devour Kurt. Kurt could be kissing someone during a game of 7 Minutes In Heaven. He’s not committed and can’t wait for it to end…he’s thinking about opening his eyes and counting the ceilings tiles to make the time go faster.

This is no better- he’s still stiff, he pulls back at the beginning and Blaine has to chase his face.

Compared to early Season 3 which is better but not really as hot as it should have been.

This is the first time I felt something wasn’t right in the kiss…that Chris was holding back and either making weird acting choices or for whatever reason he wasn’t able to let it all go and really be in the moment as Kurt. His arms seem uncomfortable and he doesn’t seem to be invested in the kiss like he should be. But at least Kurt doesn’t pull away and he isn’t as stiff and uninterested as he is in the gifs above.

Look at Season 2 Kurt. For his first kiss he is engaged and passionate; he grabs Blaine’s cheek and kisses back.

When Blaine comes back for a second kiss he is READY.

This is Season 2 happily shocked Kurt.

vs Season 6 shocked Kurt. Season 6 Kurt did not pull off the the-love-of-my-life-just-kissed-me shocked look. It’s more the ewe-someone-i-don’t-like-just-kissed-me. He’s tense, his neck is very tight, his eyes are not even looking at Blaine- he’s looking down whereas in the first kiss his eyes are wide open and following Blaine’s every move.
