Small Steps

Oh my god, yes. Imagine Finn being like “I’ll join Grindr with you bro” “we’ll find you a husband on there”.

SHUT UP!!!! THE WAY I SCREAMED AT THIS ADFKSJA

At a family dinner during a holiday like Thanksgiving (with Kurt, Finn, Carole, and Burt), Finn gets a notification from Grindr. Kurt’s head snaps up and is looking at Finn with wide eyes. He’s sure he was just hearing things until he hears it a second time. Kurt doesn’t know what to do because apparently his super straight brother isn’t as straight as Kurt thought he was.

Kurt pulls Finn aside after dinner and is like “You can tell me anything, I hope you know that. I’m your brother, I would never judge you for anything. I’m here to always support and love you.”

Finn doesn’t realize that he’s talking about the Grindr notifications and says something like “Bro please don’t tell Burt or mom about how I didn’t finish the mushrooms. I thought nobody would notice if I hid them underneath the napkin.”

Kurt is now even more confused and straight up says “So... I didn’t hear the Grindr sound coming from your phone.” Finn then says “Oh yeah, that was Grindr” and then walks away without expanding beyond that.

(continuation of this ask)

I just realized there’s really not that many people in the cafeteria? Does McKinley have another cafeteria? We know there’s an outside space? Are most kids there?? Where is the student body?? How big is this school????

Forgetting the restraints of reality and the time continuum, I will forever be upset that we didn’t get the Dalton boys doing a number from Newsies

Alex Rewrites: Funeral

I’m back!

Prom Queen

So there isn’t much in this episode. I love the Furt content, I love Rachel/Mercedes/Kurt/Santana competing, and I do love Sue in this as well as seeing what Will does for her at the funeral, despite their pretty terrible relationship.

So, as usual, I’m just going to change a few things around. I’ll be going by character arc this time. 

Sue

Instead of her conspiring against the glee club most of the episode (IE getting their plane rerouted with Terri) Jean’s death just stops her energy for her anti-glee club ways. Kurt and Finn still take the lead in getting the glee club to help with the funeral.

In the end, Sue pays for the cost of the trip entirely, and thanks them (Specifically Furt & Will) for helping her despite the fact that she’s done horrible things and tried to stop their club.

This will result in the build-up of S3.

Finn v Jesse (aka Jesse v Glee Club)

Jesse’s comments, along with the fact no one (even Rachel, who is still considering her feelings for him) trusts him, get to Finn and the glee club. After Mercedes, Santana and Kurt put on their same, great performances and yet Jesse only compliments Rachel (and everyone else is there watching) they decide, as a club, to get him out-that none of what Jesse has to offer in advice will work for them.

Mr. Schue, who has finally come to terms (seeing how hurt and angered the whole glee club is with his favoritism) agrees, and sends Jesse away, despite Rachel’s conflicted feelings. 

He decides, right then, that not only are there to be no more sole-singer solos, but “duets” will be broken down so at least two couples (and not necessarily romantic couples either) can perform them, along with a group number that will try to feature everyone, and save duets and solo competitions for the glee club’s own personal competitions. 

They all (with a little bit of convincing to Rachel) agree.

End of Fuinn

A day after the funeral, Finn is considering Sue’s (spoken by Will) speech. When he and Quinn meet for a date, and they spend time just eating dinner quietly, he comes to the realization that the spark is gone, and that though he loves the idea of Quinn, he doesn’t love her the way she deserves or should.

Quinn, who has been playing her prom queen moment again and again, realizes she needs to be herself for awhile: without the attachment of a boyfriend or idealizing the idea of romantic love and popularity. 

Their growth throughout the season (year) lead them to amicably breaking it off, realizing that their history, their personalities, and their wants are leading them to different things. It’s finally a end to a relationship that isn’t messy, isn’t by cheating, and is just two people who realize it’s best to end it now rather than risk pain later. 

Last one for tonight, so here’s @snarkyhag !

A Sugar Motta Rewrite

So let’s be real I’m probably just projecting a ton, but I think that with a few adjustments Sugar had potential as a character. So this is my Sugar Motta rewrite, inspired by @kurthummeldeservesbetter

So about the Aspergers… by this time aspergers was already no longer an medical term, it would be on the autistic spectrum. But the thing is with the way they did it it just came off like she was pretending to be neurodivergent to get away with saying things? I don’t think that is good rep and for this rewrite I’m going to say she isn’t on the spectrum because I wouldn’t know how to write that correctly and glee sure didn’t.

Now on her singing (this is where the projecting comes in). I think that a really good use of her would be to have this girl who loves to sing and loves to dance. But doesn’t realize that she’s really not that great at it. Her dad tends to spoil her and he doesn’t want to hurt her by telling her that she’s not good enough. So when she auditions for ND she still has that air of superiority and still does terribly. When Mr Schue doesn’t let her in the club she’s heartbroken. This is the first taste of reality she’s gotten about her own voice. So the troubletones still happen (but I would totally send different people over there, much more similar to @kurthummeldeservesbetter’s). When the ex New Direction members show up they realize that this gatekeeping they participated in, towards someone who so obviously cares about music was really just hurting the arts at their school.

It’s around this point that I would want Sugar to get a number, that isn’t perfect, but shows that she’s a quick study and is trying really hard at this. When the Troubletones fold back into the New Directions it would be great to have a plotline where Sugar is worried that she still won’t be good enough for them. And then someone (preferably Kurt because I’m a sucker for him mentoring and protecting the newbies) would give Sugar a pep talk about loveing the music and working hard and how they were wrong.

Idk I feel like this would have been a good use of Sugars character? To provide some juxtaposition to the main club who all came in and could sing like professionals, having someone work towards that goal is really important to me. It also would have given her a plot line beyond the Valentine’s Day episode and then maybe people would have liked her enough that she wouldn’t just disappear all the time in the next two seasons. And then Sugar could be a really interesting character to look through the eyes of in 4x01. With them bullying everyone? Idk I thought this would be cool.

I made a uquiz that you can take here to find out which terrible glee plot line you are because I was bored.

An update on my Bridgerton AU, my hand may have slipped and made Sue Sylvester the Queen of England

Hi Becky! I’ve followed you for a while now and you’ll never understand how I legitimately squealed when I saw you followed me so @backslashdelta

Here’s some relieved Blake with my hypothetical design for V9!
