i have neither children or a pet, so i won’t be too much of help. Freddie, though. he sounds like a real sneaky guy. where’d you get his name from?
Oh, he definitely is. They warned me about it when I adopted him, but I didn’t think it’d be this bad. Please don’t make fun of me, but his full name is Freddie Purrcury.
I was gonna say I was truly impressed by the strength of your child and their dedication for food. Also, what a fancy human! Aiming straight to leftovers instead of milk or… whatever babies eat. But knowing it’s your cat… I am even more admirative. Have you tried not giving Freddie food from the table, or, you know, have you fed him recently?
Well, I certainly hope my future children won’t be this sneaky. I don’t give him food from the table -- not intentionally, at least -- as that’s exactly what they told me not to do at the shelter, and he gets plenty of cat proof meals during the day. He just... loves stealing food. It’s becoming a serious problem. You sound like you’ve got experience with this kind of situation, though. Do you have any pets yourself?
I see your cat hasn’t stopped sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong. It was bad enough when we hooked up I was there, but opening the fridge door and eating your food sounds like a new low.
At least you can train dogs not to meddle in your shit. Cats have a mind of their own.
Yeah... again, sorry about that. He can be a bit of a handful at times. I’m just really glad it didn’t ruin the mood too much.
Well, believe it or not, but I did manage to teach him his name so far. So who knows what we can accomplish with a bit of training. Do you have any pets?
Don’t know a thing about child proof anything, but it sounds like your leftovers must be pretty delicious. What are you making over there? And yes, if you’ve guessed I’m hungry, you’re right. I’m absolutely ravenous over here.
I’m afraid my cat isn’t nearly picky enough to judge my cooking skills based on his opinion, but I’ll take the compliment. It was fettuccine carbonara, and you are more than welcome to try it sometime.
You’re so right. Self care is productive, so don’t knock your Masterchef binge! Although I’d personally choose Cutthroat Kitchen if we’re picking from the culinary competition genre.
Alright, you definitely have a point if you put it that way. I guess we all just need a night like that every now and then. Cutthroat Kitchen is amazing as well! Maybe even better, now that you mention it. Although I do love the drama that comes with Masterchef too. Both of them can get pretty intense -- almost as intense as that shift of yours must have been yesterday.
Does anyone have experience with child proof fridge locks? Like, do they actually work? This was the third night in a row that Freddie managed to open the fridge to steal my leftovers, so I woke up to a total mess.
Oh, Freddie is my cat, by the way. Probably should’ve mentioned that sooner...
“i might have lived in the city my whole life, but there is one thing i will never get used to. the weather.” rachel leaned towards the person by her side and gave them an apologetic smile as she fixed her coat. “you never know what to expect! are you going to end all squeezed up in the subway because it’s raining or will you freeze to death when it starts snowing?” she had nothing to complain about, considering she would most likely ask to use the private limo of the theater, but, she was at least trying to be relatable. “i’m sorry about that, i think i woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”

“Oh, tell me about it,” Blaine said, smiling back at Rachel as he linked his arm through hers. “The weather back in Ohio wasn’t exactly exciting, but at least it was somewhat predictable. Now I’ve got to bring an umbrella at all times and just hope for the best. I’m not complaining, though -- I guess it’s simply one of New York City’s many charms. Is everything okay, though? Any particular reason you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?”
Tried to meet up with my Scruff date until I found out that he was in Staten Island. Like you expect me to take a ferry to hook up? Honestly, the nerve to pull that shit when I can find perfectly acceptable lay in Manhattan. @pretendingstarters
And what if he took a ferry? It goes both ways, after all. Would you still say no?
I just wasted my dark day. Got invited somewhere. Said YES, like an idiot. Hanging out with friends is a sham… especially if said friend invites you to a fuckin’ church. If church is for you, God bless, but I could’ve slept all day instead. Could’ve ordered food in, marathoned some trashy TV.
I mean... at least now you know what you’ll be doing next Monday? A surprise church visit sounds unappealing on any day of the week, let alone on your dark day.
Having a social media presence is really taking its toll on me. It was one thing to have teenage girls with Ben Platt in their profile pictures call me hot and try to make me join their groupchats consisting of prepubescent theatre kids talking about their middle school production of Godspell, but I don’t know how one’s meant to respond to being called both ‘skinny af’ and ‘thicc’ every time I post a picture, it seems pretty damn contradictory. I know they’re meant to be compliments, but I feel like consensus has to be reached. Am I a skinny legend or a thicc bitch? I don’t know if I can’t be both.
@pretendingstarters
You can be anything you want to be, Jesse.
You should definitely watch out with those group chats, though. I once joined one by accident, and they started yelling at me in all caps about wanting my babies. It was terrifying.
That feeling when a drunk asshole decides to ruin everyone’s night by smashing a beer bottle against some other dude’s head… Sometimes I just wanna go full JWoww while at work - If you wanna stay and get your ass beat, you can stay and get your ass beat. You wanna stay and get your ass beat, you can get your fucking ass beat. But alas I’ll keep smiling since the show must go on. Whatever, at least I swindled an extra $100 from him before he got carried out in cuffs. How’s your night been?
@pretendingstarters
Oh God, that sounds... intense. I wouldn’t have blamed you if you’d gone JWoww on that guy. Men, am I right? I spent most of the night watching Masterchef with my cat, so you definitely win when it comes to productivity.
☆ did you hear the rumor? BLAINE ANDERSON has been spotted in the big apple! HE is 24 y-o and works as a BROADWAY PERFORMER. some things never change, because HE is still DEDICATED but also DRAMATIC. psst! we did our research and found out that HE is being stalked by a fan. i wonder how long BEE will play pretend! ☆ {darren criss, glee character}. ( @pretendinghq )
BASIC INFORMATION.
name: blaine devon anderson
age: 24
date of birth / zodiac: april 5th / aries
hometown: westerville, ohio
occupation: broadway performer (about to start rehearsals for grease)
blaine grew up in an affluent, upper-class family. his father is a successful neurosurgeon and chairman of a medical foundation, while his mother runs a multi-million makeup company. from a young age, blaine was dragged along to charity events and trips to the country club, and his father always had incredibly high (and sometimes unrealistic) expectations of his sons.
growing up with an older brother like cooper anderson, it was no surprise that blaine started to sing and dance as soon as he learned how to walk and talk. he started piano lessons when he was five, soon followed by acting, dancing and singing lessons, and spent most of his early childhood performing plays and duets with cooper (which usually resulted in blaine being a back-up dancer for his brother). cooper was a strict teacher and blaine knew that there was no way he was ever going be able to live up to his brother’s unrealistic expectations, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to try. he loved performing and wanted to get a chance to shine too, and he was willing to do whatever it took to make it happen.
blaine came out when he was fourteen, and received mixed reactions. his mother and brother were nothing but supportive, but his father didn’t really respond much at all at first. despite their many attempts at bonding, blaine has never been close to his father. “if we don’t talk about it, it will eventually disappear” seemed to be the words mr. anderson lived by, and as a teenager, blaine often couldn’t help but feel like his father hoped that rebuilding a car with him or taking him to a football game might make him straight. although blaine was always great at pretending to be the perfect son in front of his dad’s friends and colleagues, or at the events the andersons attended, things were strained between the two of them, and they still don’t talk very often.
things weren’t exactly easier at school. blaine had always been a bit of an outcast ever since junior high, but the bullying only got worse when he came out. halfway through his sophomore year, he ended up in in the hospital after getting attacked at a school dance.
he transferred to a different school, where he joined the glee club and drama club (as well as countless other extracurriculars). he ended up playing the lead in two school musicals, did some community theatre as well, and performed wherever and whenever he could.
blaine moved to nyc right after graduation, where he attended nyada. he had dreamt of getting out of small town, ohio and moving to nyc all his life, but it did take some time to adjust to life in the big city and the big personalities at nyada. standing out in a school full of talented people wasn’t easy, but blaine eventually managed to make a name for himself by putting up flawless performances, getting involved in student government and several curriculum-related clubs and eventually graduating at the top of his class.
after graduating from nyada, blaine immediately threw himself into auditions. he eventually got cast as the link larkin understudy in hairspray on broadway and after that, he landed the lead as tony in west side story (with rachel as maria) and replaced the lead in how to succeed in business without really trying.
he’s now about to start rehearsals for grease (did anyone notice a hair product pattern), in which he’ll be portraying danny zuko.
blaine hopes he’ll be able to record an album in the future. he plays the piano, guitar & violin and loves to write and compose.
a few more random facts: blaine has a cat named freddie purrcury, loves all kinds of geeky stuff, is a hopeless romantic and boxes.
