  TWITTER POST:

@AHOBBITINNY: Last 4th of July’s fireworks were a blast! Ha, see what I did there? Nothing tops watching all those pretty lights on the beach, while sitting next to a fire, and be thankful for what life brings.

  IN CHARACTER QUESTIONS:

1.) What did you want to do with your life when you were younger? What would the child version of yourself think about the path you paved for yourself?

For as long as I can remember, I never saw myself doing anything that wasn’t related to music, whether it was singing, dancing, playing an instrument, anything. My mom says I was much better at dancing long before I got walking right! Everything I have ever at done, at school, at Dalton, McKinley, and later on at NYU, where now I get to teach what I love the most, I wanted it to be about that, and in the end that’s what I’m doing. I know my child self would approve, and be very happy about what my life is right now. I’d go as far as thinking that he would be saying “see? Told you it would pay up to bug everyone at home singing and dancing all the time!”

  2.) What is your proudest accomplishment? Don’t be afraid to talk about what it took to achieve it and how you feel about it as well. 

There was a time when I thought my biggest achievement was being able to stand up for myself back on those days where I was bullied in such a traumatizing way. To stand up for who I was, for what I was, and not being afraid to say it out loud. I remember even fighting my parents when they decided to transfer me to Dalton, so I could be safe, because I wanted to stay and fight all the hatred and all the things that happened to me. In the end, that transfer didn’t only came as my protection, but as a brand-new chapter of my life, where I made the most amazing friends, where I fell in and out of love, where I allowed myself to dream about what my life could be someday. And that’s how everything turned out to be. But as of today, nothing makes me prouder than to be a teacher, a guide, a friendly hand for someone to hold onto when it’s needed. To be able to inspire, and tell each and everyone of my students to never stop chasing for what you want and dream of, and to never let anyone tell them they can’t do it.

  3.) If you could do anything you wanted for one whole day, what would it be and why?

As little of spare time that I have at this moment, I want to say ‘sleep all day in’, but that would be too lame, right? Man… I don’t know- I mean, if I’d have all and any means to do anything… hop on a plane and spend a whole day at Santorini? Or any of the beaches of the Mediterranean. I love the beach. But thinking on a more realistic tone, being on a beach, any beach, doing a good swim, reading a good book, taking a short nap, and why not, enjoying some good company.

  WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Some short time after we last heard about Blaine, his relationship with Kurt started to crumble. First it was little things that kept on stirring arguments between them, but it eventually came to a point where they had to sit down and talk about if that’s how they wanted their life to be. If that was truly what their hearts, what their minds wanted. And even if love was never an issue, they came to realize that love hadn’t been enough to maintain a marriage. They were so young when they got married, and their lives were started to get different paths, and some of them didn’t really have them meet anywhere in between. With him studying at NYU to get his Teaching degree, while also giving private guitar lessons to children, and Kurt also as busy as he was with his work, they had very little time to share, much less to try and figure out what to do to fix their marriage. And so, and in the most possible amicable way, they decided to get a divorce, but remained friendly, while trying to make up their lives as single individuals again.

  For Blaine that meant to dive headfirst in his studies, while also dipping his toes at the Dramatics Arts School, as a minor, and there he found his world, and where he knew his life truly belonged. He was able to blossom as an artist and a composer, even writing a couple of plays for the school to put on. He never gave up on his own love for playing music, so while visiting a small, local pub with some college friends called The Play Tone, one open mic night he took the stage, and that led to him having a casual moonlighting job as a singer there, which was like another dream come true. To be able to play his own music, along with some masterfully done covers, for an audience. Recently, he has learned the owner of the pub has plans to sell the place, and that has stirred another completely different line of ideas in his always working mind. Blaine Anderson as the owner of a pub? Who knows. Maybe.

  There is just one thing he had recently realized would be the cherry on the top of the cake that was his life. It has been a good while since he last seen his old friends from McKinley High. And ever since Sue Sylvester became President, with all the flashbacks and memories that event brought back, there was something that makes him miss his friends, now more than ever.

i would love for this to come back!

Consider this me giving into my desire to write here again and the peer pressure of knowing that I'm not the only one. I'm restarting fresh, feel free to DM if you have any questions. I'm going to play Sebastian again, but everyone else is open and up for grabs. I do accept OCs as well, especially if they can be tied to a canon character. An example would be a co-worker like a co-star met on Broadway or fellow Spotlight Diner employees. A recap on the plot here, this is set in real time, so it's 2023 and the character's ages will reflect that. All current events are up for use in game except for triggering things like the pandemic. If a new song or movie comes out, you can talk about it here in character, for example. President Sue Sylvester has called everyone back to Lima, Ohio for a series of charity and publicity events surrounding her new bill that will fund an extraordinary amount of new music programming in schools across the US. There will be weekly Glee club themes posted for everyone to participate in as well as the above mentioned events surrounding the plot. This is an ask rp as well, all anons that come in are meant to be from fans that everyone would gain after these events-- or have already had due to their career choices.

[askthefuturegleeks]

Are you interested in Ask The Future Gleeks but you're not comfortable playing a canon character-- or interested in any of the ones that are left? After speaking with the players here, I've decided to open the rp up to a select number of original characters. Not enough to overrun the rp, but enough to fill it out a bit more and offer more diverse opportunities.

There is a catch, though.

All original characters must be connected to a canon Glee character in some way, and I don't mean siblings. The only siblings that are available for play here are the canon siblings, unless someone requests different. Blaine has an older brother, Brittany mentions a sister, and Quinn has Frannie. The connections I'm talking about are connections to their adult life, which are what give them reason to exist here in a Glee rp. They aren't free-floating characters, they connect in the same way as the minor canon characters on the show connect to the main characters. The wanted connection form is now on the mobile nav. 

Examples of connections that I can recall being mentioned already are:

Mercedes' bodyguard Bruno

Mercedes requested brothers

parents of babies that play with Klaine's baby

Sebastian's personal assistant at his dance studio

people that Sebastian's parents are trying to set him up with

other teachers at McKinley that work with Sam and Dave

I'd also like to see some characters come back into the Glee spotlight from the Haverbrook School For The Deaf and Jane Addams school for troubled teens, all of which are going to be OCs because we never got anything but school names for these two locations, but they add diversity into the Ohio show choir scene. These don't have to be connected to any canon character, they can be completely free floating and on their own.

Most minor characters have no biography information and so few lines that they're basically OCs, but not everyone is comfortable with that either. Hopefully this approach makes sense, and hopefully it caters a bit to both the crowd that only plays OCs and the crowd that feels like OCs take away from the "canon Glee vibe." Personally, I think this is the perfect way to make this rp more welcoming, to offer more diversity, and to realistically bring it into the future. Just like there were minor characters in the canon scene, there would be new minor characters based on their new lives as well. Those are these OCs. We're basically just filling in some of the blanks on the canon flash to the future.

[askthefuturegleeks]

To help people along in getting some things going, here are some slice of life plots. Some of these are written to be romantic, but you can use them for platonic connections too. And any plot with a specific job or other specific details can be changed to fit any situation. For example, one plot I was going to post below (but won’t since it’s right here) is Muse A works at an ice cream shop and hates it until the boss’ brother/relative comes in and they’re hot and kind so suddenly working is much nicer. That can be changed to fit any work environment.

I’d love for the Warblers to have a summer tradition to write out, something like going to one of their summer homes or renting out a beach house or something. I think it’d be cool if the other schools also had a tradition-- there was that one in canon where they were all supposed to meet at the corner but only Kurt showed up. The NDs could do something else. 

Muse A has just received a generous gift of a baby grand piano from a well-off relative who’s passed away. Every day Muse A marvels at the gorgeous instrument and runs his fingers along the keys wishing he could play the thing. After some time, he finally resolves to take piano lessons in honor of their dearly departed. Muse B is giving piano lessons to earn some extra cash. There’s an instant physical attraction between them both, but the relationship stays professional at first. Over the course of several lessons, an honest, sweet affection between the pair grows.

Muse A is annoyed when someone rings his doorbell late at night. When he answer the door, he is even more annoyed to come face-to-face with their ex, Muse B. Muse B, typically smug and rude, looks panicked and makes a plea for his help. Bitter about the sour ending of their relationship by Muse B’s fault, he is poised to slam the door shut in Muse B’s face. Just before he can, a pint-sized kid peers out from behind Muse B’s legs and asks to use the bathroom. Muse A may loathe Muse B, but they aren’t heartless, so they let the child in and begrudgingly also Muse B. While the child is in the bathroom, Muse A demands an explanation from his ex. Muse B breaks down and explains that the child is his but he only recently found out. The kid was left at his door by the other parent and he is freaking out because he have no idea how to raise a child, especially not alone. Muse B came to Muse A for help because he have no one else to turn to. Muse A is sympathetic, mainly for the child, and only because of this does Muse A agree to help.

Muse A frequents a coffee shop every day after school/work where Muse B works as a barista. He always sits at the same tale by the window, in plain-sight of the counter, preoccupied with a book or their laptop. Muse B can’t help but notice Muse A and admires them from afar. Too shy to go up and talks to Muse A at their table, Muse B finds another way to make an impression. He begins to write nice messages on Muse A’s coffee cups, gradually getting a little bolder each time. Usually by the time Muse A notices these little notes, Muse B has switched shifts with someone else. One afternoon, Muse A comes in and orders their usual from Muse B. When the order is ready, Muse A makes sure to read the notes right away. This time, the message reads: “Would you like to go out with me?”

Muse A has been looking for a place to live for a while now, having recently moved out of their parent’s place, bunking with a friend here and there. After searching a few ads online, Muse A finds a nice place just within their budget. Even if Muse A has to share with two others, it’s a steal that they would regret passing up. When they meet up with the other residents, Muse B and Muse C, Muse A realized fairly quickly that they are a couple, one that doesn’t mind flaunting their passion for each other. Muse A draws the conclusion that the reason for rent being so reasonable is most likely that others would not want to be subjected to the couple’s open displays of affection, but Muse A still decides to take the room; Muse B and Muse C’s intimacy doesn’t really bother them.

Muse A and Muse B have known each other since middle school. They were best friends and secretly crushing on one another all the while. However, when the two began high school, Muse A went one way and Muse B went another. Years later now, they reconnect at an alumni event, and as different as they are on the outside, they still feel the same on the inside. The biggest different is that they are no longer afraid of their feelings for each other. There’s just one problem, and it is that once autumn come Muse A will be moving out of state. Despite the odds stacked against them, the two decide to make a long distance relationship work, for better or for worse. Will the frequently phone conversations and video chat dates are enough to keep their love alive until they can see one another face-to-face again?

Muse A and Muse B have two things in common, they are both well known to the public eye and are both in desperate need of some assistance. Muse A is successful and absolutely loved by the public due to their talents, however that love is faltering quickly due to their many love and heartbreak scandals. Their player mentality isn't helping their career. Muse B is also very successful and known for their talents, but not very smart when it comes to their money. They are going bankrupt and need to find a way to make quick money in order to save themself or they will be finished. When these two come together, they find they can help each other through a fake marriage that will benefit them both. Will they be able to keep up the charade until their planned end? Will it crumble before that? Or will it turn out to be something they never imagined?

Muse A and Muse B were childhood friends and one year when they were young teens, they made a promise to marry one another if they had no one to marry in 15 years (number can be altered). 15 years later Muse B has just been dumped for the last time and in their desperation they remember the promise they made with their friend. Muse A seems to have forgotten all about it, but when Muse B brings it up, it becomes a real question. For reasons, unknown to Muse A, Muse B is serious about the promise. Both of them have had their fair share of a rocky romantic past with others, so the question stands if the two will actually go through with their promise made so long ago? [Optional Twist: Muse A is dating someone at the time].

Muse A and Muse B are close friends who have always had a little thing for each other. However things get a little crazy after a drunken night that leads to some activities, which result in the two feeling slightly awkward with each other in the aftermath. The two, not wanting to ruin their friendship, decide to forget about the night and move on. That's all good until Muse A finds herself pregnant. Now the two must figure out what they are going to do about this drastic change in their lives.

Muse A and Muse B are a pair of friends who always go out for drinks and head out to the clubs together in order to help one another in the game. However, things start to get shuffled when Muse A begins getting jealous over the person Muse B is currently macking on. The envy comes without warning and their behavior starts to become a little odd; upon questioning, Muse A might say they’re not feeling very well, or complain about a co-worker. And Muse B is starting to grow wary of the constant insults and jabs thrown at their significant other by someone who’s supposed to be their friend. Will Muse A ever come to realize or admit their feelings to themselves and to Muse B?

Muse A comes from a regular, middle class family while Muse B comes from a very rich and high class family. The two meet at a galleria event for a mutual friend and take interest in one another, except the only thing holding them back is the pride of Muse A who can't accept that Muse B can love them and care for them, especially because of where they rank in society and the prejudice of Muse B who holds back his feelings in fear of what people will think of their relationship. Will these two be able to overcome their obstacles and be together or is it not meant to be?

Muse A has had a crush on Muse B all their high school years, but them ending up together is a long shot considering he is a top student in class A while she is one of the lowest of the low in class F. Despite this, Muse A decides to confess her love at the beginning of their senior year with a letter. Muse B, being as cold as he is, rejects her flatly in front of everyone. When Muse A finally decides to move on, fate has other plans for her when her house is collapsed during an earthquake. Her father tells her they will temporarily move in with his old college friend until they can get back on their feet. This is all great until she finds out that her father's friend is the father to Muse B! Now the two of them will be living together. How will they deal with this situation?

It's wedding week! And Muse A and B are going to live happily ever after, of course that won't happen without their friends coming together and causing drama first. A group of friends including the bridesmaids Muses C, D, & E, the groomsmen Muses F, G, & H, and the bride and groom themselves are coming together for their destination wedding. What kind of old drama will spark up to great new drama? How will things go down during all the parties and rehearsals?

in character questions

Answer these in character, and feel free to add gifs into your answers.

1.) What did you want to do with your life when you were younger? What would the child version of yourself think about the path you paved for yourself?

There were so many different things I wanted to be when I was younger.  It was constantly changing and being influenced by media and experiences.  I wanted to be a astronaut, a fireman, a doctor, an actor, a teacher, a military pilot, a rockstar, a chemist, a banker....but when it was time to make decisions about life after Dalton, studying computer science seemed to make the most sense as a jumping off point.  I was thinking web design, maybe programing.  We barely knew what apps were back then.  

Did I see myself leaving Northwestern with my roommate and moving to Silicon Valley to work in a tech think tank?  No.  But California was such an adventure and I loved it.  And as great as the think tank was, leaving it to develop something of our own, just ours, was the best.  Deciding to come to the East coast once the App took off and to go off on my own, is a little daunting, but honestly, it’s time. 

2.) What is your proudest accomplishment? Don’t be afraid to  talk about what it took to achieve it and how you feel about it as well.

Hands down- having created Social Byte.  I don’t know if other creative types get this paternal/maternal feeling over the things they create, but Social Byte is like my child.  

I’m also pretty proud of myself for having decided to branch off on my own now, and come east.  A new adventure.  Even if it's taken me years to do so.

3.) If you could do anything you wanted for one whole day, what would it be and why?

I would do anything.  For me, it would be less about the what and more about the who.  Or who’s.  Spend a whole day with someone or someone's that it’s always easy to be around.  And do whatever, but bask in the enjoyment of their company.  I’ve been away from the people I grew up with, some important people, for too long.  I’d try to fix that.  I’m going to fix that, now that I’m on the East coast.

where are they now? 

Even after the steroid scandal that rocked the Warblers in his senior year, Nick was able to turn that into a real learning and growing experience by making it the topic of his admission essays.  He ended up getting accepted to several schools, including Northwestern University in Chicago, where he ultimately decided to go.  Not going to New York, or the East coast, like it seemed like so many of his friends were was a hard decision for Nick. 

Computer science ended up suiting Nick, and he went on to complete an Master of Science in Information  Technology.  Nick was also lucky that right off the bat he met Ryan, his roommate.  For the second time, Nick found himself with a roommate that he clicked with almost instantly.  They were in the same program, they were roommates, study buddies, sounding boards, and the best of friends.  It made missing his Warbler and Dalton friends a little more bearable. And because it didn’t feel so bad,  Nick was more easily able to try and keep his friendships going with his Warbler and Dalton friends all across the country.  Nick was constantly sending cards, sometimes letters, post cards, emails, posts on various social medias, trying to keep any bits of communication open with everyone.

After completing their MS IT at Northwestern, Ryan convinced Nick to go West with him- where he was from originally.  18 months with the think tank they left it to pursue their own project, and Social Byte was born.  Despite the closeness of their friendship, being roommates for years, moving across the country together, it was strictly platonic.  Which suited Nick just fine anyway.  

Once Social Byte hit the market and exploded, Nick decided it was time to branch out and go off and try something on his own.  This was also influenced by his want to move to the East coast and Ryan’s desire to stay in California.   It’s his birthday week and Nick Duval can’t think of anything more fitting than starting a new adventure, in a new city, closer to quite a few of his high school and even college friends.
