ryan murphy dressed as a genie shows up at your doorstep, gives you this choice: santana and rachel hookup in canon, but the scene is interspersed with unskipable deleted footage from the santana/finn hookup sequence from 1x15 - what do you do?
You know what Ryan Murphy genie, I say fuck it. Let's do it.
I can live with the consequences of my actions. I mean, look, it's not like Finn was an active participant in what was happening during Like a Virgin. Does the thought of Santana gyrating around him make me wanna puke, sure. And would such a scene inevitably lead to Rachel blowing up at Santana because the point of the montage would be that she never got over the Finntana hookup, I can only assume so. But hooking up is the healthiest thing Pezberry ever could have done so I'd put myself through that for their good. That's how much I love them.
No but for real I'm trying to think what the artistic vision behind that choice would be. I can only assume it'd be for Rachel's pov because things rarely center on Santana, or anyone else, when Rachel is there. And yeah Rachel fixating on her ex and Santana having had sex while she and Santana finally bang it out isn't pleasant by any means, and in Glee world it wouldn't lead to any productive conversations. Look at Quinntana's fate post-hookup. But like, yeah, I could survive that. It's not like it'd be the worst thing Glee ever did. And if we dared to focus on Santana's pov, it'd just be funny lmao like a comparison between her cringe comphet days and fucking the loser guy's ex-gf. What a glow-up.
