The character Blaine and my reading of him has always been very personal, when I first finished glee and compared him to the Blaine in my life I understood him very well. He was a textbook narcissist. The behaviour lined up like word for word. And through out the series if he's looked at through this lense he's one of the only consistently written characters.
A lot of us, myself included have trouble believing Kurt was so attached to this piece of shit. But after experiencing some things with my real life Blaines I began to have some empathy for how difficult it can be to let go of some people, no matter how much they hurt you. So I feel the need to try explain Kurts attachment to Blaine, not romanticize but explain why it exists.
Childhood attachment/First love: Kurt meets him relatively young, he looks up to Blaine, grows up with him, Blaine is the first person he dates and they get through some very dark times in Kurts life together, no matter how much growth occurs in Kurts life he can't shake off the initial gratitude, hero worship
Sunk cost fallacy: The strange feeling of not wanting to feel like an idiot or a loser for having a made a bad decision that has already taken too much of your time, so you rationalize that if you see it through it will be worth it because you've put too much of yourself in it, it being a relationship or a person. It's feels like too much effort to start over anew. To learn a new person or to heal when you've learned the motions of the status quo. So maybe it hurts when Blaine yells about unreasonable things but he's learned to yell back and hold his ground.
Trauma bonding : Feeling connected to an abuser because of various manipulation tactics they use to control you like love bombing, withholding affection( fratboiphysicals), guilt tripping ( I needed you and you weren't there), gaslighting etc. It's very hard to cope with the knowledge that someone you love is just using you for their ego so we don't. We pretend we are loved, that what we have is unconventional but special. When someone is constantly being hostile the bar lowers itself and we live on the crumbs of their affection, it feels special, and because the abuser never reassures you you have a definite place in their world you have to fight for their attention and fight you will.
External pressure : Narcissists have a way of perfecting surface level charm to get everyone in their pocket until you no longer have anyone in their corner and they have everyone telling you how great they are. Eg: the proposal scene, santana sabotaging kadam and the rant, Sue(?)
Isolation : They find whatever way to make sure you have less and less friends to make it easier for them to gaslight you, so only their opinion matters and you can't fact check with a sane person. Eg: the Elliot incident, the Chandler incident.
Gaslighting : Abusers change the narrative to fit their needs with such blinding confidence that you think you're the problem eg: late s6 Kurt.

Just had the stunning realisation that they should’ve ditched Chandler and used Sebastian as the swooning gentlemen in the ‘between the sheets’ scene with Kurt during the Whitney tribute episode-
I’m not saying that he would be as gushy, flamboyant or mooneyed as Chandler was, come on it’s Sebastian at the end of the day, but if he were able to strike up a decent conversation with Kurt about music after the initial hostility, they’d be able to somewhat connect, and it would’ve been ever so dreamy ☺️. Not to mention then it would open up the opportunity for Kurt to see the more human side of Sebastian, and although he’s nothing like Chandler, it would allow Seb to be nicer to Kurt too.
And then when Blaine calls the texting scandal ‘cheating’, his argument would be completely null because oh wait…wasn’t he doing the same thing a few months ago? With the same boy???

Thinking about how Blaine is like a plain slice of bread, he’s fine at first, but like after three days he’s moldy now. Arguably the mold makes him not plain anymore, but I am disgusted, and I do not want it.

What are your favourite Sebastian ships?
My favourite, and most consumed Sebastian ship will always be Kurtbastian, no doubt about that, but if I had to put all of his (common?) ships into a list from favourite to least favourite, this is what it’d look like!
1: Kurtbastian
Kurt Hummel and Sebastian Smythe.
I don’t quite think I can fathom just how much I dearly love these two, both separately and together. The potential they bring to one another for growth, redemption, explanation and development is practically palpable. The chemistry, courtesy of Chris and Grant, in the show is so entertaining to watch, and the direction of their relationship can really take a turn at any point. Do they start off with hate sex? Is it Kurt learning that Sebastian is an actual person with a family, hobbies and aspirations? Is it Sebastian personally reaching out to apologise to Kurt and something blossoming from that? Do they run into one another again in New York? It could be any of these options, alongside many more, and yet they all bring us a beautiful outcome in this pairing. They’re not so cookie cutter, they’re unique and compatible in so many different ways. Their wit and humour is so easy to intertwine that I sometimes forget they aren’t a canon couple. I just absolutely adore them.
Tumblr media
2: I need to distinguish how much I love Kurtbas by stating that nothing even compares to them.
Like seriously none of the ships below even remotely compare. That’s how much I adore these two.
Tumblr media
3: Warbler Ships.
Sebastian Smythe and Jeff, Nick, Thad, Wes, David and Trent.
These are the type of ships that I’ll read and I have no problems with, I just don’t actively ship them in my own glee universe. I read a beautiful fanfic a few years ago about Thad and Wes helping Sebastian overcome some self infliction habits, as well as a similar one with Nick where they’d write letters to one another. They were lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed them, I just don’t ship any of them religiously like I do with kurtbastian. KB are my endgame, I don’t even see these couples as midgame.
(That being said, I do think Jeff and Sebastian have most likely made out before. Not in a midgame type of way, more of a heated fling, I picture it to be a situation where Nick and jeff were on a break, and the boys kinda just got caught up in the moment while watching movies. It was something they just needed to try and get out of their system, and it’s followed by Jeff realising that Nick’s lips are the only ones he ever wants to kiss, and Seb understanding that maybe the idea of being romantically exclusive to somebody wouldn’t be a bad thing, and it would actually make him feel special. It doesn’t affect their friendship negatively, they’re still best buds, but Nick definitely gives Sebastian some side eyes when Niff are on the mend and he learns what happened.)
I think a good summary of how I feel about these ships is that when I’m reading their fics, I’m reading for Sebastian and Warbler characterisation separately, not Sebastian and Warbler romantically together, but they’re still cute fics!
Tumblr media
4: Huntbastian
Hunter Clarington and Sebastian Smythe.
For me Huntbastian is kinda mid tier. I don’t actually like Hunter very much as a character, and I think Seb is far too good for him (I’m also very persistent when it comes to reminding people that the steroids scandal was all Hunter’s doing). However, there are definitely a few fics that I’ve read where this ship is quite cute. I suppose because we don’t know a lot about Hunter, nor do we know if the stuff we do know is even true, I think this ship is completely dependent on how the former is portrayed by each fic writer/artist. They have fanon potential, but I don’t appreciate Hunter enough to delve into that myself, despite the fact I have enjoyed little bits of media between these two every now and again.
That being said, I personally think these two actually have some very dark potential considering the power dynamic established in the show, and you know me, I love putting Sebastian in tough situations.
Tumblr media
5/6: Starsmythe and Coopbastian
Elliott ‘Starchild’ Gilbert/Cooper Anderson and Sebastian Smythe.
First of all, idk if Elliott and Seb have a ship name, I just came up with Starsmythe on the spot, but if they don’t I think that should be the new one.
Much like with number three on my list, these are the kinds of ships that I don’t really see together in general, and I don’t see them happening in canon at all (well maybe Starsmythe could’ve if they’d actually met, but they didn’t), they’re just fun for experimenting with stories and ideas, or sometimes they’re a catalyst for other ships (Elliott with Kurtbas and Cooper with Huntbas from what I’ve read). I did read a really sweet KB fic where Sebastian got sick in New York, and Elliott helped Kurt look after him, so although they weren’t romantically involved, I thought it was just so sweet and had potential.
So again for these guys, I read more so for separate characterisation, and to get my Sebastian fix after I devour everything in his tag excluding seblaine, but they have possible fanon potential!
(And personally I’m a sucker for the whole ‘Cooper dates one of Sebastian’s family members’ trope that so many of us use. That never gets old.)
7: Sebklaine
Sebastian Smythe, Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson.
(Does it annoy anyone else that in both sebklaine and klaine Kurt is only the K? Like mmm it’s not a vibe.)
I don’t really know what to say about this ship. Do I hate it as much as Seblaine? No I don’t, but do I actively love it or consume it’s media on my own? Also no. The only time I’ll read Sebklaine fics is if the title and/or summary really grab my attention, or it’s primary focused on Kurtbas with only a smidge of Blaine, otherwise I’m not overly interested myself.
I personally don’t think this trio would work very well at all, I actually don’t think Blaine could be in a polyamorous relationship with anybody for that matter. As we see in the show, he’s incredible insecure and very jealous, imagine how he’d behave if he had to share his partner with somebody else? And I’m not putting my Bastian through that :(.
Tumblr media
8: Sebofsky:
Sebastian Smythe and Dave Karofsky.
I think Sebofsky is such a neutral ship to me. I don’t dislike it, but I don’t actively ship it either. I’ve read a few fics of this pairing, nothing that particularly stuck out to me, but that’s not to say they were necessarily bad, just not my personal cup of tea. Something I actually would’ve liked to have seen from the show between these two was an apology from Seb to Dave after his attempt, but since we never got to see that I just like to assume it happened off screen. Now had we have seen a scene similar to that, maybe I would feel differently towards this ship, both positively or negatively, but we shall never know.
Not a bad ship, not an amazing ship, just a ship to me!
Tumblr media
9: Seblaine:
Sebastian Smythe and Blaine Anderson.
I’ll just let Redditor Bea explain this one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This might be a hot take, and I’m probably going to get shit for it, but I think Sebastian deserves better than Blaine. I think everyone deserves better than Blaine, I do not like Blaine :).
Seblaine’s only redeeming quality, at least in my opinion, is that at least Blaine is a gay male and not a girl, or god forbid a lesbian girl.
Tumblr media
10/11: Sebtana and Smytheberry.
Sebastian Smythe and Santana Lopez/Rachel Berry.
I will not touch these two ships with a ten foot pole. I’m all for personal expression, and at the end of the day you can headcanon characters as whatever sexuality you want to, there is nothing we can actually do to stop you, but I personally think there’s a huge difference between hc-ing a straight person as another sexuality, and hc-ing a canon gay character as straight. It’s reductive, you’re taking away their minority, you’re removing with a snap of your fingers the oppression people have been fighting again for years, these characters are iconic for what they represent, Santana especially: canon gays in modern media who aren’t totally defined by their sexuality. And I know some of y’all are looking at this with a side eye because it’s “not that deep”, but it is to me. If Sebastian and Santana had both been canon bisexual in the show, I actually think Sebtana is a ship I could get behind, but they aren’t, and therefore it’ll never be okay with me. They are both gay, a homosexual and a lesbian, so I will never see them romantically involved.
And as for Rachel, the compatibility between them isn’t very strong in my opinion, Rachel would be too much for him, I think it takes a certain type of guy to handle her, especially pre-S4. He’d lose his patience pretty quickly over her behaviour anyway, excluding the fact Sebastian likes men.

I love that Blaine has the range from "petty bourgeois kid who is too blunt and brutal with his devious political schemes to fit in with his peers" to "petty street rat that deals drugs, spreads plagues and does semi secret murder...who still doesn't really quite fit in because he clearly still got his elite peacock attitude and tries to pretend he's running some kind of noble establishment"
It's the worst of both worlds (cutthroat arrogant businessman & ruthless violent druglord) combined in one man. <3
And it shows in all his little murdery business endeavours
