“Not that everyone doesn’t already know this, but Remus Lupin is a big nerd. He might be the biggest nerd in this school, except that I’m sure he knows how to have more fun than Evans, at least. But just look at him, with his nerd glasses and his nerd posture doing his nerd homework. Ridiculous. Not at all attractive. Nope.”
“From back in the good old days, where Mike was my right hand and my official conscious, I bring you this glorious pic. Aren’t we gorgeous?”
ZM Cherry
“Michael is as kind and as supportive as he is talented. There’s a lot to admire in a man like him, but I’ve always been prone towards celebrating the skill and ease of true, bona-fide talent like his.”
UTG Fabang
“For whenever Quinn wants to drag out the old cornrows picture, I have this proof that she was actually, at some point, a clown. Despite her fancy talk and her psychological analysis of me, she can never forget her adorable roots.”
AGH Changs
“My favorite picture of my big brother has to be this one. I don’t know, something about the fact that he’s not taking himself too seriously is a good look on him. I like to think it’s something we have in common.”
Faberrychang
“I love this picture of Mike and Quinn backstage at one of my shows. They’re not particularly patrons of the arts like me but the fact that they’re making an effort is admirable and adorable. That, and I’m actually quite relieved to see that Mike does in fact show up in pictures. I don’t know why I expected his vampirism to affect his outcome in pictures, but I’m glad it doesn’t because he looks absolutely wonderful.”
Rutherchang
“Matt has some good Facebook pictures, but he has even better ones on Instagram. You could totally forget that he’s a teacher if you saw him in one of these. He looks like an ordinary dude. Well, kind of ordinary. You wouldn’t guess how smart he is from them, for sure, but it does make sense why all his students have crushes on him anyway. The girls, I mean. And before you ask, no, I don’t stalk his Instagram or anything. I just happened to stumble across it when I Googled his name. That’s not weird, right?”
“Well, before Michael moved into their apartment, it was only Finn, Puck, and of course my Sam. The first day they’d unpacked all their boxes, they had an impromptu photoshoot set up to document the first day as official live-in bros! Of course, their best gal forever had the honor of the shooting the picture and I think it turned out splendidly! It’s one I’ll cherish forever of a happy memory with three boys I love very much. Besides, Sweet Talker always does look his best in sunglasses. They give him an air of mystery, I think!”
X for Triwizard Sike because that still needs to be a thing
“I guess my favorite picture of him is the one from when he brought Quinn a little something to drink before our interviews. Even the photographer for the paper knew he was too photogenic not to pass up, though I’m pretty sure it’s because they’re going to spin him as Quinn’s supportive boyfriend. But, uh, anyway, it’s a good picture. He could be a model or something if he wanted. That’s not a weird thing to say about a guy, right?”
“My favorite thing about observing Marley is seeing her transform into someone who isn’t afraid to like what she likes. She loves unapologetically, she fangirls unabashedly, and she marches to the beat of her own drum. It’s inspiring, uplifting, and just plain cute! And my favorite picture of her is one that encompasses all of those traits, I believe.”
“I absolutely adore the newest photo of Sam on Facebook! He’s liked Tina for so long and it’s obvious to anyone who sees them together. He just glows in her presence, really. It’s adorable! I’ve never seen him so effervescent before. Love really does become him.”
“Sam obviously can take a good picture, but my favorite was from before this arena tore him apart, back when they just wanted a good publicity pic of him and his district partner. No matter what happened in the arena to them both, I like to think there’s still some of that happy kid left in each of them.”
“Throwback to the time Melanie was actually cute enough to be seen with me in public! I had to document it because otherwise I’d have trouble believing it myself.”
“There are too many pictures of Rachel looking beautiful. I mean, they’re all beautiful because have you seen the girl? She’s a model, no matter where or what she’s doing. But seeing her hold that new baby in her family was just…beautiful. Rachel’s not always doing something crazy and life-threatening, you know. She’s also one of the most nurturing people I know. I should know. She’s loved me enough for my lifetime. And….I don’t know. It’s nice seeing her like that. It’s real.”
“Walking through London with a guy that isn’t Liam or Mike? Mom and Dad wouldn’t believe it. But honestly, Ryder’s just a great guy. Helping him out with shopping for his friends is maybe the best way to prove that I just might be able to add him to my squad someday. You don’t really know someone until you go shopping with them, and I really liked what I saw that day.”
“The ultimate test of trust from girl to girl? Letting someone else do your makeup! And god, I always told Marley she was beautiful, and I’m glad she let me prove it. That day was maybe the first time I knew we were going to be friends for good, and for a long time.”
“The cutest, dorkiest, most precious guy in the universe. He even makes a trip to freaking Target interesting. That’s how you know he’s the one. And that Thor helmet makes his lips look even bigger, like that’s possible.”
“For no reason I can think of at all, I’m going to have to go with this as my favorite picture of Rachel. Ugh, soccer has done good things to her. Highly approve”
Damn, why are there so many characters we have together? I’m crying. I’m not even sure I got them all, and I left off the Zone M ones because I’m not sure our characters are good enough friends to have favorite pics of each other. Sorry.
Preston Calvert:
“There are a lot of way hot pictures of my wife, but the most beautiful has got to be after our first night together. It wasn’t the first night we boned, but just the first time we fell asleep together and woke up together and….I felt like maybe it was the first time that we could maybe be in love. Plus, she looks gorgeous. And it’s not like I could pick a favorite picture without me in it.”
Rachel Berry
“I’m the luckiest girl I know. Not everyone can get someone beautiful and wonderful to love them forever, especially not someone as problematic as me. While I am talented and worthwhile, I also know I can be a handful. My fathers aren’t shy about saying so. However, I suppose it just took more than two hands to care for me. It’s not fair that, while the world has such a short supply of perfect people, I took two. Then again, I’ve always been selfish, so it’s not like it’s a huge surprise. When they sent me a joint selfie from behind the scenes of my first show, I knew I was in love. I’m just glad I have enough for both of them, because they deserve the world.”
Mike Chang [of UT because why not]
“I knew moving in together was a great idea. Our first night together and she’s already providing me with pictures perfect for my Instagram. Fun, cute, and all in my face - it’s the perfect summation of Sugar. I wonder what else living together will bring. Only good, I’m sure.”
Carter Ashford
“Char’s the coolest girl I know while also still being a total downer about everything. It’s like we can’t spend a whole weekend without studying or thinking about our future or fighting good versus evil style. Everyone knows she’s serious, but it’s kind of bomb that she lets me see her more relaxed and chill. That also happens to be when she’s at the peak of her hot.”
Mike Chang [aka Hades]
“My queen of the underworld has always been the light of my existence. Even here and now, when she’d rather be behind the camera than in front of it, she shines. Effervesces. And when shes’ around flowers, that’s when you can really see her glow.”
Mason McCarthy
“Gosh. I have a million pics of Madison that I love! One of the many fringe benefits of living together all our lives, you know. Literally. The one I’m loving the most lately though is the one she Instagrammed after the wedding. It was ridiculous amounts of fun. We love going to weddings and I couldn’t have asked for a better-coordinated date. We even got to show off our prized sibling-dance routine! But the best part is how much fun she was having. I always love Mads, but I love her the most when she’s smiling, because that’s when we look alike the most.”
Mike Chang, producer of iBritt
“Every time Santana smiles in a photograph, she beats me up seconds after it’s taken. Seriously. It’s like a science. Even when we first started iBritt and I was barely anyone to her. Still, it’s impossible to deny the camera loves her. Always has, always will. Anyway, this is the first shot I ever got of her where she was genuinely smiling. Not I-will-kill-you-in-your-sleep smiling, or even I’m-tolerating-you-but-as-soon-as-we’re-alone-I’m-going-to-pummel-you, but a real, sincere, you’re-kind-of-alright-Chang smile. And I’m proud to say I got that first moment on film, forever.”
Mike Chang [of Honeybee]
“Caught the bae sleeping. But seriously, this is the only photo I have of her that isn’t posed while her giving me those Fabray eyes. It’s just a girl who waited in the seats until my final audition was finally done. Before, that much dedication might have freaked me out, but now? I don’t know. It’s nice to know she cares. And since I took this pic, I guess I care too.”
i’ve missed them too! ugh i’m so remiss about my 1x1s and groups lately. i blame school, a weirdly budding social life, and having my whole family be home this summer.
how’ve you been? i see you finally watched frozen!
is anyone else’s photosets on tumblr refusing to cooperate? like, i can’t drag the pictures into whatever layout i want and it’s massively frustrating. they just upload and won’t let themselves be rearranged and i’ve tried it on two separate computers and i’m stumped.
