Sometimes you just have to have the tag for your comfort character for AO3 open on a separate tab, so that you can check it at least 3 times a day.

Sometimes it’s just the healthiest coping mechanism you’re gonna get.

does everyone remember when they did MCR on Glee. I just remembered while I was listening to Danger Days on Wednesday.

Season 6 is done, and so with it Glee. Not much to say for such a short little nothing of a season running purely on nostalgia and queer wish fulfillment. There was also an attempt at finally dragging Sue’s over-the-top antics to the ground, but I’m not giving them credit for that one since it was so quickly walked back - possibly because the writers realized Klaine only got married because the shippers as embodied by Sue forcibly compelled them. Did that make anyone happy?

Fluffy non-ending or not I now have to return to my original consideration: was Glee a seminal work for its time about which I ought to have an opinion? Sexless same-sex relationships and a correspondingly dull take on marriage equality aren’t exactly thrilling me even if they were groundbreaking in the early 2010s, and I see in the ubiquitous portmanteau ship names and the meta acknowledgments of rabid online fans demanding canon representation some of the more annoying trends of contemporary fandom. I don’t think Glee is responsible for fandom purity culture, so there’s that?

I finished watching season 4 of Glee, because yes I’m still doing that. I think I’m in the minority here, but I actually hated it less than season 3? Reasons:

This show has always suffered from a lack of focus, so splitting the action between two cities doesn’t make all that much of a difference.

The season’s inevitable PSA episodes were still stupid, but they weren’t stupid in a way that personally enraged me for the most part. Most fans seem to hate the school shooting episode for its insensitivity, which is apparently just one more thing I missed the boat on by attending Catholic school. The stuff about sex workers and cheating was all predictably prudish, but I get that having everyone impulsively blurt out their every tiny infidelity for no logical reason makes for some good cheap drama and segues into musical numbers.

All the boring new kids being near-replicas of the characters they’re replacing is positively meta in its commentary on how boring these people are.

Klaine and Brittana breaking up is irrelevant in hindsight, and Blaine in particular is significantly more interesting when he’s not with Kurt. He actually has a character now rather than just feeling like empty wish fulfillment or a blank slate with a new defining character trait every episode (my favorite of which is the one where he’s obviously sleeping with his brother). It’s when Klaine get back together and the show becomes obsessed with making them into the flawless poster couple for groundbreaking representation that they lose me again.

Now wasn’t this about the time when Finn’s actor died? I suppose I have that to look forward to, which is a shame since that one scene where he assaults Brody in a hotel room was so thrilling and creepy and stalkerish that I legitimately can’t believe they tried to pass it off as romantic. Alas for what could have been a screwed-up swerve on the predictable headlining het romance.
