How could I possibly be normal about recovering 4channer Artie and his disappointed boyfriend and disgruntled girlfriend he quits 4chan for
The Scream video was the only little glimpse of the real Mike Chang, imo.
I mean, he REALLY wanted to play Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror, guys, fr!
BUT the parents said no, you absolutely will not be seen dressed like that! And that's why he kept that part of himself all buttoned up and hidden away.
Headcanon: Once he finishes Ailey. Yes, Ailey, I have no idea why they wrote him an acceptance to Joffrey. He does not have any ballet training, nor has he ever shown any interest in ballet. Ailey is the place for him. So I think he would do a semester at Joffrey, since he got in, and he is a hard worker. But after that, I think he would realize that he just can't see himself being a ballet dancer the rest of his life, so he transfers to Ailey and gets the Ailey/Fordham BFA degree. Anyway, after he graduates Ailey, and no longer needs his parents' financial support, baby, he lets it all out! He looks how he wants, he dresses how he wants, he plays whatever parts he wants! He plays Frank-N-Furter, he plays Hedwig, he plays Priscilla! He plays Rum Tum Tugger. He does Hair, Cabaret, The Producers, Fosse, Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, Damn Yankees, Hamilton, whatever the Hell he wants!
Romantic Headcanon: Oh, so many! But the one that probably only works for me, is that Mike, Artie, and Tina are together in a loving and equal multiple partner marriage. Eventually Artie and Mike become a director/choreographer team. Tina stays onstage her whole life.
I call it Artike. Don't come for me!
Wait now I’m interested, can you rank your favorite polyamorous ships?
absolutely.
1. Fapezberry. I ship Pezberry. I ship Faberry. so why not both? they'd be adorable, and I think that they'd function pretty well as a couple. Rachel needs people that are able to anchor her to earth, and Quinn and Santana would be great at that. on top of that, Santana needs someone who's willing to call her out on her worst behavior, and Rachel and Quinn have always done that, although Quinn's ability at calling her out in a productive way would have to be fine tuned. Quinn needs people who would support her through her bad mental health days, and while Santana might be a bit of a bitch, she'd be a great shoulder to lean on, and so would Rachel. Rachel is actually pretty good at providing comfort and nobody ever really talks about it. on top of that, they'd be the most supportive couple. Santana and Rachel would probably go into some form of show business, and Quinn would absolutely be their number one supporter. my biggest issue with relationships like St. Berry and Brittana is that they have built a bubble where they enable each others worst behavior and never call each other out. I don't personally think that Fapezberry would have this issue.
2. Jarlique. oh, Jake and Marley? did you mean to say the Unique Adams Defense Squad?? because that's what they'd be. they'd all be so supportive of each other, they already are in canon. Unique is canonically attracted to Jake, and you'd be hard pressed to find me an example that doesn't support my theory that Jake has feelings for her as well. and Jake and Unique are the biggest Marley Rose simps, so obviously that'd carry over into their relationship. also, the communication??? it'd be top notch. I love them.
3. Faberritina. Quinn, Rachel, and Tina. I dunno why. all of the girls have enough chemistry with each other for them to work, so I don't see why not. Tina would probably be able to introduce them to their first healthy relationship, honestly. she'd be like, "hey, we should talk about this, this is clearly really bothering you guys," and both Quinn and Rachel would be like, "huh???" at this point, my main ship is Quinn and Rachel x A Healthy Relationship.
4. Artike. listen, all of their problems would've been solved if they'd just gotten together. Mike would help Artie be more connected to his relationships, Tina would be the great girlfriend that she always is, and Artie would be the rock that grounded the two. I like them. all three of them are pretty great communicators, so they'd probably rarely have any arguments, and not because they didn't want to start problems with each other, but just because there would probably be very little to argue about.
honorable mention, but Kurt, Blaine, and Sam intrigue me as a couple.
artike thoughts because apparently i love them now
just like in canon tina and artie start dating in season 1
they both have a huge crush on mike
they find out about that when one day tina mentions how amazing mikes abs are and artie very enthusiastically agrees
they end up talking about all of mikes amazing qualities for the rest of the day
when tina ends up dancing with mike in dream on that’s their biggest topic of conversation for the next two weeks
artie wants to know all the details about the time tina spent practicing with mike
when they find out that tina and mike are gonna be at the same summer camp both artie and tina lose their minds
artie tells tina that should any chance arise for her to get closer to mike she needs to go for it immediately
and that’s what tina does
she’s a woman of action
and fortunately mike is very into that
and once tina assures him that artie is very much okay with this their summer romance starts
but not before tina tells him that if this is gonna last her and artie are very much a package deal
mike is losing his mind
even if artie isn’t currently here yet suddenly both of his crushes apparently want to date him?
that’s really not what he expected but he isn’t complaining
theres no reception at camp so tina has to inform artie of the current events by sending him a postcard
while artie is thrilled he also can’t help but feel kinda anxious
because what if mike changes his mind once he returns from camp?
and even worse what if tina decides that she also doesn’t want to be with him anymore
and yeah sure he told tina to go for it with mike but he really wishes he was there too
luckily both tina and mike are gonna make sure that artie has no need to worry about how much they both like him
once they return from camp tina immediately drags all of them on dates and makes sure they all spend a lot of quality time together
and sometimes she tells mike and artie to go on dates without her because she thinks they need some one on one bonding time as well
(the bonding time is going very well)
on arties and mikes first date mike gives artie a ridiculously huge bouquet of flowers
he needs to make a good first impression
because sure they know each other already and technically they are in a relationship but still
this is their first date and he’ll make sure that artie knows that mike is just as crazy about him as he is about tina
once they actually manage to work out all the details of their relationship they actually end up being the one glee club couple with the least amount of relationship drama
artie and tina love watching mike dance
and mike loves dancing with them which is why he always ends up making them dance with him
mike and artie are tinas biggest fans
they love and appreciate her and believe that everyone else should do the same thing
no one is quite sure how they did it but the rest of the new directions is convinced that mike and artie are somehow responsible for the hecklers in a night of neglect not daring to say anything negative about tinas performance
tina and mike absolutely love spoiling artie
and artie loves having all their attention so it works out well
they’re all not sure when their anniversary actually is so they just decide to count all their first date anniversaries as their anniversary
it turns out that mike is by far the biggest romantic out of all of them
artie and tina used to claim that they didn’t care about romance but now that mike is there they can’t help but go along with every cheesy and romantic thing he does
they’re all very competitive
it’s why they start the brainiacs
they’re all very smart and wanna compete against other people
no one likes competing against them though
they usually end up winning and together they’re the most obnoxious team ever
they like to rub their victories under over peoples noses
they’ll all sulk though if you put them on different teams
mike doesn’t really like singing in front of other people unless they’re tina and artie
meanwhile tina and artie believe that mike should sing way more because he’s an amazing performer
tina gives both mike and artie a goth makeover at least once
a lot of their dates are them watching movies together
artie likes commenting on every single thing that happens in the movie
mike and tina would be annoyed if anyone else did that but artie actually has very good commentary
artie also provides amazing commentary when it comes to the other new directions relationships
they all like to make fun of everyone else’s relationship drama because they’re all kinda judgemental
they pride themselves on being the most sane couple of them all
(other members of the new directions might disagree but they choose to ignore their opinions)
basically i love them. artike rights
Im about to make the biggest comeback of all time with the artie/tina/mike im cooking up right now
Tina : Artie, can you help me? I’m trying to explain to Mike how a plane stays in the air.
Artie : Oh, certainly. That’s a combination of Bernoulli’s principle and Newton’s third law of motion.
Tina : See?
Mike : Yeah, that’s the same as “It has something to do with wind.”
so many problems would have been solved if mike tina and artie just were in a poly relationship
Artie : If you do not stop hitting on my lady, you’ll feel the full extent of my wrath.
Mike : I’m not hitting on her.
Tina : And I am not your lady!
Puck : And you have no wrath.
