imagine that santana was never outed, how would you have written her coming out storyline?
First let me say you don't have to come out to everyone all at once. There can be stepping stones. So you will find everything you need after the break!
Thank you so much for the ask Ana!! @tthankstoyou
So stone 1. Born this way:
She'd come out only to a few people here, there's so much wild shit going on in this episode I feel. Santana has a major part of her she has to accept, they create the Quinn Lucy storyline...no comment...how about use some minutes to let Santana accept who she is. It's not like Brittany and her haven't been affectionate in glee.
So I'd say maybe after everyone, minus Santana, performs born this way we get a scene of a few of them back at the choir room or at the Lima bean-the Lima bean because I want Blaine there- so it'd just be Santana, karofsky, blaine and Kurt(was gonna have two others there but the start of the next episode changed that 😂)
She makes it known she's not ready to come out to the school or the rest of the glee club or even her family yet. She is still going to prom court with karofsky-despite Kurt's disappointment for both of them, but I feel like he'd understand because he can see it's a start to both of them accepting their sexuality-Because she has to keep up the façade at school a little longer. She's not ready for the big change yet, but telling them lifts some of the weight off her.
(She's a whirlwind this episode and the only reason I'd have her telling anyone is because she actually changes from her 'Bitch' shirt to the 'Lebanese' one)
Stone 2. New York
I think they should've sprinkled a little bit of her coming out with each episode at the end of season 2. We get seventy years of Finchel + Quinn drama so I don't see why we couldn't get quality Santana + Her sexuality storyline.
So In this episode I think while Finn and Rachel are out on their escapades we should have got a cut scene of Santana coming out to the girls(Sorry Rachel-but Rachel already knows as seen in Rumours), and Kurt but in my timeline Kurt already knows, so it's just news to the other girls.
Kurt and Brittany are obviously anchors while she's telling the rest of them. They are all supportive and she gets hugs, yes my baby does.(no one is surprised but no one pulls the we already know card- of course Quinn knows and Tina and Mercedes from the Rumours episode also already had been figuring it out)
Instead of getting that William singing on stage scene we can get this one. Or cut out all the Goolsby/William drama scenes, idc 😂
Near the end of the episode I think after Santana and Brittany's locker scene have Santana telling the rest of glee club, which would be like 3 guys?😂 or Allude to it there doesn't have to be an actual scene, like maybe Britt takes Santana's hand and says "are you ready to tell the rest of the club"
After that I feel like over summer break she’d continue to figure things out. Her and Brittany should already be established dating by the start of season 3 in my opinion. Like Mike and Tina got together over summer break and are dating at the start of Season 2.
(I have longer stuff that I could at but I think that’s the grunt of what’s important without me adding angst)
