“But I fucking hate kurtbastian” that made me giggle so hard LOL BUT i wanna know why you hate dark!blaine? cause i think he has potential but i pretty much feel the same way bc i never like how people write him, like a flat evil character D:
I think it does have potential, as most other dark!AUs have as well, but I rarely see it outside thinly-veiled Blaine hate, so I’m wary of the trope as a whole.
Which, sure, as long as you tag your ridiculousness we’ll get along begrudgingly. I’ll make a sour face at the description and not read it, and if I accidentally stumble into it I’ll just walk away.
It’s just an unfortunate truth that a genre I love is lousy with the same trash.
But I mean, I’m biased too, because yes, he’s my favorite cupcake, but the lengths some of these stories go is just obscene, often to artificially propagate another character.
It’s the continued persistence of many of these writers, that are often genre writers, that despite how canon and the characters have evolved they blatantly ignore core traits. I’m not saying you need to include everything in canon (because yoooooo AU) but you can’t outright ignore the spirit of the characters without being a piss-poor not-even-a-doppleganger in a crude mask that can’t even be remotely recognized.
Blaine is an ACTUAL CUPCAKE. What could arguably be his most nefarious moments include a petty drug-induced puppet hallucination and a Michael Jackson sing-off in a parking garage.
