not to be controversial but i got something to say!!!
i don’t think it was wrong for kurt to have had crushes on sam and finn (aka crushes in straight guys). there’s this weird thing that people (mostly on other social media spaces) that criminalize kurt for having a crush. and i could go into how people don’t have the same sentiment when blaine had a crush on sam, but that’s not what this is about so i won’t discuss it here.
kurt was a teenager who wanted to be desired the way that everyone else at his school was. him having a crush on a straight guy who was kinda nice to him is no different than if a girl had done the same thing.
i think this goes especially so in the case for finn. yeah, we can discuss all day about how he was “going way too far” with it, sure. but in a universe when every single main character has done something kinda egregious, i feel like that point loses its weight. the show shined a light heavily on how finn was uncomfortable with it, which is honestly more of a problem with finn than kurt in that regard (s1 and s2 finn had a homophobia streak like lets be kinda honest here). but bc finn was our main character, we were sort of supposed to sympathize with his discomfort. but in doing so, it causes a less media literate viewer to villainize kurt in the process

i think when mr schue got on stage to accept his teacher of the year award kurt, quinn, mercedes, santana, and tina should've taken turns beating him with hammers instead. just my unpopular opinion ♡

glee is so hard to watch because everyone’s so obsessed with rachel. in literally every episode of the first season they’re like “we can’t do glee without rachel we might as well just cancel the whole club if she’s not here” as if mercedes isn’t right there. it’s not like they gave the other kids a shot at trying her parts. everyone there is so incredibly talented and they just get ignored in favor of this spoiled, whiny little brat. in the fourth episode of the show, rachel quits the club because someone else gets a solo. instead of saying lol good riddance a spoiled, whiny little brat would slow this club down and make all of the other kids feel like shit, everyone is like no rachel is so so talented she’s the most talented person in the world and nobody else compares so we have to get her back actually. meanwhile mercedes, santana, and tina could have sung all of her solos just as well if not better than she could. and they still win when she’s not in charge. in sectionals of both seasons two and three she’s not there and they still win! i hate you rachel berry and i hate you ryan murphy and justice for mercedes jones.

you were so real for your rant on your latest post. i always feel so icked out when schue is credited for having any part in the larger aspects of kurt’s happiness. schue represents the club and he did fuck all to protect kurt from literal harassment and death threats. santana and blaine did more for him in that respect than schue ever did. kurt was treated like an accessory in the club most of the time, and the few times that he had the opportunity to shine, he was sidelined.
Right?!
Tumblr media
No one grouped together as a club to build Kurt up. The girls sent their boyfriends to "talk" to Karofsky and that didn't do anything. Schue didn't pull Karofsky aside to find out what was going on. It was a simple shrug off. And Kurt was left to defend himself by himself (which in the end is fine, it proves how independent he truly is and has to be to get shit done).
The one time they group together for Kurt it's for religious reasons which he makes quite known how uncomfortable he is with that and they do it anyway.
He had to transfer schools to feel safe.
He always feels like he has to scream to get noticed, otherwise he's overlooked and sidelined. He and Mercedes joined the Cheerio's because they were tired of playing in the back! I swear if Kurt wasn't Rachel's lap dog in season 3, he wouldn't have stayed in the new directions and would've gladly transferred to the troubletones but I digress.
Even in the Warblers. Blaine only gives him a duet after catching feelings at long last - with a weird duet as it is but whatever, that's my own personal ick. So the Warblers may have been safer than the New Directions in terms of safety from personal attacks, but he wasn't rallied for by any club. But still, why does Blaine have to realize Kurt is the love of his life before Kurt is granted a duet? Yeah yeah the writers suck I know
THE BOTTOM LINE IS: Glee club didn't save Kurt Hummel. Kurt Hummel saved Kurt Hummel with building his own support system since no one was going to do it for him. And I will die on this hill because Kurt Hummel deserved the best and got the worst but he made the best of it and made it work in his favor nonetheless. Kurt Hummel decides his fate and happiness, no damn club.
But thank you for reading my rant, I didn't know if anyone still read them. 🤭

Troy Barnes, Jeff winger, And Abed nadir are better asshole protagonists who are likable, have character development, fantastic autistic representation and great Lgbt representation than Santana Lopez , Finn Hudson, and Brittany Pierce.

So I was Googling multiple shows that I watch/have watched to determine approximately how long the average episode of Up Here is gonna be in relation to them (longer than an episode of Friends but shorter than an episode of The Flash fyi), and I'm cackling at the order the writers of Glee are listed in.
Tumblr media
Google said Chris is the most relevant writer. 😂

officially joining team anti finn - top 5 times you wanted to punch finn? 🥰
(hope you don't mind the negativity)
I don’t seek to be negative then it’s Finn and I’m in.
1. Outing Santana
Inexcusably horrific. Everyone about it. The fact that he did it, the way he proved he learned nothing from Theatrically, the entirety of IKAG being about himself, (down to the reason why he cares about her; because she was his first even though she’s gay and clearly that couldn’t have been and enjoyable experience for her), the things that he chose to say, public or not. She’s a cruel bully and not just telling it how it is, she can dish it out but can’t take it in, valid things to throw in her face, not she’s scared her gf doesn’t love her and she’s a coward for not coming out. Nope. This is when I did the 180 and accepted that Finn was not good.
2. Assaulting Quinn at Prom
The girl is not obligated to tell you she can walk (1) step with assistance, and even if she was you absolutely do not pull her out of her wheelchair and potentially damage her further! What the hell? ‘YoU’Re sTIlL tHE sAMe PERson-’ yeah the girl who went through a teenage pregnancy, got kicked out, paralysed and more wants a plastic crown at a high school dance. So cruel 🙄.
3. Beating up Brody
Gah, out of every way to handle this scenario, this was the appropriate way??? No! Tell Rachel, give Santana advice on how to (appropriately) handle the situation, maybe lecture him for putting Rachel at risk of STD’s, not beat him up for being a sex worker!!! Also additional mini rant but Santana was so fucked up for the way she went about this and I love San and Pezberry but Rachel should’ve slapped and kicked her ass out again.
4. Calling Robin a slur
Yay! What do we love? Blatant regression, from the guy who specifically said he wouldn’t and even seemed shocked by the idea of using that word! We also love only apologising for forgiveness and retracting that apology right afterwards! Screw that mother for being upset you called her baby a slur! Woo hoo!
5. Getting Quinn kicked out
Nope. Nopity nope nope nope. I though S1 Finn was great when I started watching and this always made me shocked. Fuck everyone except Quinn in this episode. Fuck Kurt, Fuck Quinn’s parents, Fuck Quinn’s dad especially, Fuck Finn Hudson.

And in a too humorous turn, Lea Michele will be taking over the role of Fanny Brice. Now I can go for the low hanging fruit and make a joke that she'll get bored in a month and high tail it to L.A. since there was no line of separation between Lea and Rachel Berry, but that would be too easy. Instead I'm going to look at the pros and cons of this news.
First of all, I think that Beanie was treated pretty badly here and held up to a ridiculous standard. No, she's not Barbra. But that was the point of casting her. She had her own talent and take on the character but it was too far from Barbra's for most critics. That was always going to be the problem with a Funny Girl revival and was why it took decades to bring the show back to the stage. Because without a singular performer like Barbra, the weaknesses of the book really are glaring. Funny Girl just isn't that great a show.
So now they're bringing in Lea Michele to cosplay Barbra. Which as much as I dislike Lea makes sense. She's got the vocal chops to copy Barbra (and we saw her do that a few million times on Glee). Do I think she's in the same sphere as Barbra? Hell no, but she can copy her singing style which would be enough for most audiences.
And I had felt for ages that Lea needed to return to Broadway after Glee. Her recording career sputtered out pretty quickly, and she had no real options for a tv or film career without Ryan Murphy playing sugar daddy for her. Broadway was the best place to showcase her talents (which I won't deny) and this is about as ideal a bit of stunt casting as you're going to get without trotting out Barbra herself to take the stage.
As for the downsides, we have Lea's absolutely toxic behavior towards her castmates that go back to her earliest days on the stage. I certainly wouldn't want to work with her and I wouldn't trust her beyond what she could do in the role. But I have no doubt that she's going to be on her best behavior and won't be allowed to abuse the rest of the cast.
And we have the problem that she is going to spend her run in the show the same way that Beanie did - compared to Barbra and probably found lacking. Barbra was a once in a lifetime kind of performer. Beanie failed (in the eyes of the critics) because she wasn't as dynamic and wasn't able to live up to Barbra's standard. Lea can copy Barbra's style of singing, but she will have the challenge of being too much like Barbra. The risk of being seen as a cheap copy of the original can be just as much a risk for a performer as being too different.
In the end, I don't know if this will salvage Funny Girl. It may salvage Lea's career, but I don't see the show suddenly becoming a critical darling. Not when you have such a weak book and all the best stuff happens in the first act. And we have to see if Lea still has the stuff to do eight shows a week without petering out. I'm not going to see the show, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the next few months.

You know, Santana wasn't wrong when she called Finn a hypocrite. It's also one of the reasons I hate his character. But how many instances of him being a hypocrite are there? Let's get into it.
2x09 (the very episode Santana called him out on it):
"I knew you were a lot of things, Rachel, and I loved you because and in spite of all of them, but... I never thought you were mean."
This is when Rachel confessed that she made out with Puck to get back at him. Mind you, this is after she lied to a younger foreign exchange student and tricked her to going to a crack house. And... that's not mean to you, Finn? It was surely vindictive and borderline cruel. Not to mention the comments she's thrown around that could definitely constitute as mean. Why is Rachel only mean when it pertains to how she hurt him specifically?
2x02:
"Well, Santana has a point. Just trying to be honest."
/
2x06:
"Hey, ever notice that when the Beiste gets all fired up, her underpants go right up her butt?"
So, you know how in season 3 where they (both the show and the fans) attempt to justify Finn outing Santana by pointing out that she body-shamed/bullied him. Well, surely, Finn didn't also body-shame/make fun of Coach Bieste in season 2. Which, yes Sam, Mike, and Tina were also guilty, Finn was the one who started it. And he didn't apologize because he was wrong, he apologized because Bieste was going to quit and "the football team was finally doing well." There's also the instance where Finn laughs at one of Santana's insults towards Rachel, then agrees with her.
Again, he was fine with Santana's bullying until the minute it was directed towards him.
2x09 (again):
"Look, I'm all for pumping up the team, making everyone feel special, but that's for practice. You don't take the star quarterback out before the big game."
Oh, but what was that in season 1? Where Finn admits he wasn't putting in as much effort into Glee because Jesse was being given the spotlight. Or in season 3 when he was openly jealous of and threatened by Blaine's talent. Also, earlier in season 2 when he prayed to be put in the game instead of Sam who was the better player. He was fine with others being pushed aside when he was the favorite, but God forbid it happen to him.
(Also, who was the one who threw Nationals with that kiss? It certainly wasn't Sam or Quinn or Santana)
2x01:
"...you got to admit the truth. You didn't do this because you love Glee Club. You did it because you love yourself more."
I'm not going to lie and say that Finn's wrong here. However, it's only a few episodes later in 2x04 that he's doing almost the exact same thing. Strong-arming Kurt into not dueting with Sam under the pretense that it's for the good of Sam and the club, when it's actually because he's still uncomfortable with Kurt being gay and projecting that onto Sam. Screw what Sam and Kurt want, screw that Quinn didn't even want to duet with or date Sam, it's all about what Finn (and Rachel) wants.
1x13
"No! They're both lying to me!"
Remember how (understandably) hurt and angry Finn was when he found out that Puck was the father? Remember how he was angry at Puck and refused to speak to him for months? Remember how their friendship was never the same after that?
So then why- after perpetuating the guise of being his friend and looking out for him- did he push Quinn into cheating on Sam with him? True, there was no pregnancy or baby involved, but that was still shitty. And unlike Puck, Finn faced almost no repercussion from Sam after that (even when he was being accused of seeing Quinn behind Finn's back later, he never threw that back in Finn's face).
3x19:
"Make you stand up and show everybody how much of a crazy liar you are? Yeah."
Fun fact, Finn lied and said he was disabled to get a job at a restaurant in season 1. So it's actually interesting how mad he is that Quinn was "faking" being in a wheelchair (she wasn't faking, she was exaggerating, but she still couldn't walk well after her accident).
2x08:
"Rachel, I'm sorry. I want to, but I can't."
Also fun fact, Finn quit the club and condemned Rachel in season 1 because she was protecting her (and the club's) reputation by hiring a show director that harped on them for their flaws. It's funny how when it came to protecting Kurt who was being continuously harassed and assaulted, Finn cared more about saving his reputation.
3x04:
"Santana, stay out of this."
I need two hands to count the number of times Finn's inserted himself into business that isn't his. Hell, this very episode he was eavesdropping on Mercedes trying to convince Santana to join the Troubletones. He reported Rachel to Schue when she was seeing Jesse, chimed into the conversation Mercedes was having with Schue, tried to control Sam's entire social life, etc. And, he was trying to push Brittany into making a decision because he didn't like the choice she had already made in this very moment. What Brittany does is none of Finn's business.
3x04:
"Yeah. All the guys in Glee Club call me that. And you're the leader, so that makes you the worst of them all."
It's interesting that Brittany pointing this out doesn't ignite the same rage from the fandom as Santana's fat shaming. The guys in the Glee Club- including Finn, who definitely shouldn't be one to talk- have been collectively calling Brittany an idiot for years at this point. How is that any better than Santana calling Finn fat? Why is only she a bully? Why are Finn's feelings the only ones that matter?
And before anyone says "well it's true," so? That means Santana calling Finn fat is also justified because it's true, right? Brittany doesn't deserve to be mocked repeatedly just because she isn't as smart at the people around her. That's ableism.
2x05:
"Guys whisper behind our backs about how we girls look every day. They objectify us all the time."
Speaking of the fat-shaming, why don't we rewind to why Santana started it in the first place. The Glee guys- including Finn- are (again) just as culpable of talking about the girls' bodies. Finn especially has done this consistently throughout the show (most of which being centered around Rachel, y'know, his girlfriend). It's so interesting that no one ever brings this up. Almost like it's acceptable for men, but the moment women cross that line, it's intolerable.
Finn is a hypocrite who's fine with allowing and participating in rotten behavior until the very moment he's on the receiving end. No, I won't be taking criticism. Argue with the wall.

So Glee made has an official Spotify Pride playlist and didn’t include Rose’s Turn, or Not the Boy Next Door, but has Lucky and Faithfully on it? Make it make sense.

have you seen the trailer for the discovery documentary on glee? bc it looks. really terrible but i'd love to hear your thoughts (and sorry i keep asking you about glee lol you're just like. the only other person i know who's watched it and also your opinions on it are very good)
Waitttt is it the documentary about "the dark side of glee" or whatever? Where they were basically comparing Cory's and Naya's deaths to Mark's? Cuz if you mean that trailer, then I've only seen the first parts of it on the bird app.
It feels... not great. It doesn't feel like it was made out of any real love for Cory, Naya, and the people who loved him (their families and the cast). Like idk I guess I understand what it's trying to do, but the framing of it feels like they just want to turn a profit while Glee is back in the zeitgeist. I don't know if any of the cast were even involved.
Like when they said we'd be getting a glee documentary I was expecting more of a retrospective, behind the scenes sort of thing. Not... this

G/Lee practically limped to thr finish line at end of S6.. they had a reduced no. Of eps coz of decreased viewers.. they had nonsensical and absolutely ridiculous SLs.. Dalton burning?! Dedicated eps for a spoilt brat who non one liked, seriously who looked at that character and Said oh he's so inspiring!... Why are there rumours of reboot swirling is beyond me..
I believe the industry term you are looking for with regards to glee's ratings towards the end is "dumpster fire." Oddly enough, that term also covers the storylines and plots those of us who were left had the distinct displeasure of enduring. "Clusterfuck" would also be applicable here. Everyone I knew IRL - including my bff who turned me onto the show in season 1 - had long since abandoned it, which is why I was pretty sure it was just like me and 3 other people watching by the end.
Season 5 was dropped from the usual 22/23 episodes down to 20 and season 6 was limited to 13 eps and held until mid-season: that doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence in the direction of the show, does it? If show quality is any measure, it was pretty clear that RIB was done with glee by that point. They were completely checked out and just wanted to get this over and done with so they could move onto other things. Between them not caring, RM's love affair with his golden girl LM (more on her later), and his immature vendetta against the best thing he accidentally did - Klaine - there was very little to enjoy over those final 13 eps. When you focus so heavily on a main character who is as unlikable, selfish, and just downright horrible as Rachel, shit gets old real fast. I'm also pretty sure they had some kind of competition going in the writers' room to see who could come up with the worst storylines that allowed them to continually push Klaine to the backburner. Every week it was some new bs to focus on that wasn't their core couple: an out of left field sort of "romance" between Rachel and Sam that ended just as fast as it began but made sure to suck up plenty of story and song time while it lasted, that awfully stupid plot with the screechy 11 year old that made no sense at all but was the focus of an entire show, Kurt getting to do exciting things like holding Rachel's purse for her and continuing his lot in her life as second fiddle and ego booster, and let's not forget adding in a whole bunch of new kids no one asked for as the show moved back to a place (Lima) that no one wanted to see again, and of course the piece de resistance: the terrible horrible no good very bad thing with Blaine and DK.
Tumblr media
Anyhoo...to your question about why rumors of a reboot are swirling around now? Its fairly simple I think: another stop on the LM Redemption Tour and a trip back in time for RM to his biggest hit. 2 birds, one stone. LM's career and image have taken a massive hit over the last couple of years and so why not go back to the role that made her a household name and work with one of the few people who not only tolerated her awful behavior but seemed to actually reward her for it with whatever she wanted, no matter how much the overall product suffered. RM could use a hit and so why not reboot his biggest and most lucrative one? The problem is that people are a little more hip to things now: consider the massive backlash he got when RM posted that little rumination about a reboot a while back on Insta. It was so bad he ended up deleting the post so you would think he'd have learned from that but apparently not. If he's involved and if the show goes forward with something resembling the idea posted in the blind - focusing on a Rachel-like character - that would be the easiest and quickest no I've ever uttered. No second thoughts necessary. No hemming, no hawing. Just No. No No No.
Tumblr media
How would that be any different from the show we watched the first time around? I've had enough of Rachel to last me 3 lifetimes so there's no effing way I'd want to start a new show that I know going in will center around someone as insufferable as her.
No Klaine = no me. Its a simple equation. I don't think C would ever want to work with RIB again so no C = no Kurt so I'm out. You cannot recast them because no one else will have the chemistry that C and D shared as Klaine which is what made them special. We all know there are people out there capable of giving Klaine well written and meaningful stories to tell but those people do not include the ones who created them in the first place. The idea of someone else getting praised and cheered online for giving Klaine the kinds of moments they deserved would be such a massive hit to the oversized ego of RM that I don't see it happening.
I truly don't know who would watch this except for the Rachel and LM stans who think both are perfect angels. This is a bad idea that doesn't need to happen. Its nothing more than a pathetic attempt to relive old glory and the irony of it all is that the person wanting to go back is the one responsible for the original show's own downfall.
