What are your favourite Sebastian ships?

My favourite, and most consumed Sebastian ship will always be Kurtbastian, no doubt about that, but if I had to put all of his (common?) ships into a list from favourite to least favourite, this is what it’d look like!

1: Kurtbastian

Kurt Hummel and Sebastian Smythe.

I don’t quite think I can fathom just how much I dearly love these two, both separately and together. The potential they bring to one another for growth, redemption, explanation and development is practically palpable. The chemistry, courtesy of Chris and Grant, in the show is so entertaining to watch, and the direction of their relationship can really take a turn at any point. Do they start off with hate sex? Is it Kurt learning that Sebastian is an actual person with a family, hobbies and aspirations? Is it Sebastian personally reaching out to apologise to Kurt and something blossoming from that? Do they run into one another again in New York? It could be any of these options, alongside many more, and yet they all bring us a beautiful outcome in this pairing. They’re not so cookie cutter, they’re unique and compatible in so many different ways. Their wit and humour is so easy to intertwine that I sometimes forget they aren’t a canon couple. I just absolutely adore them.

2: I need to distinguish how much I love Kurtbas by stating that nothing even compares to them.

Like seriously none of the ships below even remotely compare. That’s how much I adore these two.

3: Warbler Ships.

Sebastian Smythe and Jeff, Nick, Thad, Wes, David and Trent.

These are the type of ships that I’ll read and I have no problems with, I just don’t actively ship them in my own glee universe. I read a beautiful fanfic a few years ago about Thad and Wes helping Sebastian overcome some self infliction habits, as well as a similar one with Nick where they’d write letters to one another. They were lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed them, I just don’t ship any of them religiously like I do with kurtbastian. KB are my endgame, I don’t even see these couples as midgame.

(That being said, I do think Jeff and Sebastian have most likely made out before. Not in a midgame type of way, more of a heated fling, I picture it to be a situation where Nick and jeff were on a break, and the boys kinda just got caught up in the moment while watching movies. It was something they just needed to try and get out of their system, and it’s followed by Jeff realising that Nick’s lips are the only ones he ever wants to kiss, and Seb understanding that maybe the idea of being romantically exclusive to somebody wouldn’t be a bad thing, and it would actually make him feel special. It doesn’t affect their friendship negatively, they’re still best buds, but Nick definitely gives Sebastian some side eyes when Niff are on the mend and he learns what happened.)

I think a good summary of how I feel about these ships is that when I’m reading their fics, I’m reading for Sebastian and Warbler characterisation separately, not Sebastian and Warbler romantically together, but they’re still cute fics!

4: Huntbastian

Hunter Clarington and Sebastian Smythe.

For me Huntbastian is kinda mid tier. I don’t actually like Hunter very much as a character, and I think Seb is far too good for him (I’m also very persistent when it comes to reminding people that the steroids scandal was all Hunter’s doing). However, there are definitely a few fics that I’ve read where this ship is quite cute. I suppose because we don’t know a lot about Hunter, nor do we know if the stuff we do know is even true, I think this ship is completely dependent on how the former is portrayed by each fic writer/artist. They have fanon potential, but I don’t appreciate Hunter enough to delve into that myself, despite the fact I have enjoyed little bits of media between these two every now and again.

That being said, I personally think these two actually have some very dark potential considering the power dynamic established in the show, and you know me, I love putting Sebastian in tough situations.

5/6: Starsmythe and Coopbastian

Elliott ‘Starchild’ Gilbert/Cooper Anderson and Sebastian Smythe.

First of all, idk if Elliott and Seb have a ship name, I just came up with Starsmythe on the spot, but if they don’t I think that should be the new one.

Much like with number three on my list, these are the kinds of ships that I don’t really see together in general, and I don’t see them happening in canon at all (well maybe Starsmythe could’ve if they’d actually met, but they didn’t), they’re just fun for experimenting with stories and ideas, or sometimes they’re a catalyst for other ships (Elliott with Kurtbas and Cooper with Huntbas from what I’ve read). I did read a really sweet KB fic where Sebastian got sick in New York, and Elliott helped Kurt look after him, so although they weren’t romantically involved, I thought it was just so sweet and had potential.

So again for these guys, I read more so for separate characterisation, and to get my Sebastian fix after I devour everything in his tag excluding seblaine, but they have possible fanon potential!

(And personally I’m a sucker for the whole ‘Cooper dates one of Sebastian’s family members’ trope that so many of us use. That never gets old.)

7: Sebklaine

Sebastian Smythe, Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson.

(Does it annoy anyone else that in both sebklaine and klaine Kurt is only the K? Like mmm it’s not a vibe.)

I don’t really know what to say about this ship. Do I hate it as much as Seblaine? No I don’t, but do I actively love it or consume it’s media on my own? Also no. The only time I’ll read Sebklaine fics is if the title and/or summary really grab my attention, or it’s primary focused on Kurtbas with only a smidge of Blaine, otherwise I’m not overly interested myself.

I personally don’t think this trio would work very well at all, I actually don’t think Blaine could be in a polyamorous relationship with anybody for that matter. As we see in the show, he’s incredible insecure and very jealous, imagine how he’d behave if he had to share his partner with somebody else? And I’m not putting my Bastian through that :(.

8: Sebofsky:

Sebastian Smythe and Dave Karofsky.

I think Sebofsky is such a neutral ship to me. I don’t dislike it, but I don’t actively ship it either. I’ve read a few fics of this pairing, nothing that particularly stuck out to me, but that’s not to say they were necessarily bad, just not my personal cup of tea. Something I actually would’ve liked to have seen from the show between these two was an apology from Seb to Dave after his attempt, but since we never got to see that I just like to assume it happened off screen. Now had we have seen a scene similar to that, maybe I would feel differently towards this ship, both positively or negatively, but we shall never know.

Not a bad ship, not an amazing ship, just a ship to me!

9: Seblaine:

Sebastian Smythe and Blaine Anderson.

I’ll just let Redditor Bea explain this one

This might be a hot take, and I’m probably going to get shit for it, but I think Sebastian deserves better than Blaine. I think everyone deserves better than Blaine, I do not like Blaine :).

Seblaine’s only redeeming quality, at least in my opinion, is that at least Blaine is a gay male and not a girl, or god forbid a lesbian girl.

10/11: Sebtana and Smytheberry.

Sebastian Smythe and Santana Lopez/Rachel Berry.

I will not touch these two ships with a ten foot pole. I’m all for personal expression, and at the end of the day you can headcanon characters as whatever sexuality you want to, there is nothing we can actually do to stop you, but I personally think there’s a huge difference between hc-ing a straight person as another sexuality, and hc-ing a canon gay character as straight. It’s reductive, you’re taking away their minority, you’re removing with a snap of your fingers the oppression people have been fighting again for years, these characters are iconic for what they represent, Santana especially: canon gays in modern media who aren’t totally defined by their sexuality. And I know some of y’all are looking at this with a side eye because it’s “not that deep”, but it is to me. If Sebastian and Santana had both been canon bisexual in the show, I actually think Sebtana is a ship I could get behind, but they aren’t, and therefore it’ll never be okay with me. They are both gay, a homosexual and a lesbian, so I will never see them romantically involved.

And as for Rachel, the compatibility between them isn’t very strong in my opinion, Rachel would be too much for him, I think it takes a certain type of guy to handle her, especially pre-S4. He’d lose his patience pretty quickly over her behaviour anyway, excluding the fact Sebastian likes men.

[historyofjanpeteh]

Sebastian: I want a bit of spice for my wedding.

Sebastian: I want at least two friends to object at the alter, and then propose to me. 

Sebastian: They will then fight to the death for my love

What do YOU think of Kurtofsky, Sebofsky, Blaineofsky and St Karofsky? I have so many thoughts about them that your ask is gonna take awhile lmao

oh no, I should have prepared for this.

Kurtofsky -

I honestly love the idea of them together, but not, like right off the bat after The Kiss. They would have to work through a lot of Stuff™ together first. I think, if Kurt hadn't been with Blaine in Heart and had agreed to go out with Dave after his showering of gifts, then they would have worked really well. Dave grew a lot from 2x06 to Heart, got more confident with himself, and I think, while they would need a nice long conversation with a fair amount of apologies on Dave's side, they would have been good together in S3b. Kurt would have totally been right by his side after he was outed, and supported him though that, actually picking up his phone when he called.

I could also see them working later in life, I love fics like that, where they stumble across each other in New York.

I love them and how they compliment each other, juxtapositions in character. They're almost how I would picture Burt and Elizabeth, so would be a fun parallel of them. One gruff and 'manly' and outwardly tough but totally a teddy bear, the other seeming delicate and snooty but is actually very kind-hearted and mentally tough.

Sebofsky -

I like this pairing too (but then again I like most pairings, it's a problem). They're not up there as a Dave ship like Kurtofsky is, but in the handful of fics I've read of them they're fun. Sebastian is a huge flirt, and I can kind of see him showering Dave with compliments, not like sweet things though, naughty ones (but sweet ones in private), and I think being with him would help Dave's self esteem somewhat. I guess it entirely depends on what version of Sebastian it is, because there are a few floating around out there in Fandom, but I'm imagining the snarky, flirty, secretly doting one. They'd share a lot of snarky banter and from the outside people would think they were about to break up, when that's just kinda how they show affection to one another. They're a fun ship, with an interesting dynamic and I enjoy reading fics with the pairing!

Blainofsky -

Sunshine, that is my thoughts about them. If Blaine hadn't been hung up on Kurt, or if Kurt hadn't been hung up on Blaine, I could see them staying together for a long while. It seemed like Blaine was Dave's first serious boyfriend after an impressive line of hook ups (? first dates??). I mean, they're living together fairly soon after getting together (judging by the confusing glee timeline) and them sitting in the truck during homecoming makes my heart swell. They're sweet, like I can imagine them being a cavity inducing couple. Blaine would bring out Dave's soft and cuddly side, and Dave would encourage Blaine to better himself, but not necessarily push him out of his comfort zone. They'd be a really stable couple, once Blaine got over Kurt, even with the weird history between them. I can imagine that they talked about that before getting together, though, at least I would assume!

But yeah, sweet and stable and soft.

St. Karofsky -

This was a throwaway random ship, dude, i have never thought of it before sending you that ask! But I am of the mindset that Jesse St. James can be shipped with everyone in the glee verse (provided they're not lesbians and/or much too old) so I am going to try my best to figure out what their dynamic would be, and if I would ship it.

...

...

I can't see myself shipping it. this is a tragedy. I can ship Jesse St. James with fucking everyone. but they don't mesh, they have no parts of themselves that would gel, nothing. I can't imagine the two of them sharing a space together, let alone sharing a life!

Maybe Jesse would feel some sort of musical chemistry with him, like imagining some weird S1 AU where the jocks have to sing with the Glee Club and Jesse hears Dave's smooth, deep, baritone and pops a boner for it. idk. I can imagine him being a thorn in Dave's side for a good while afterwards, stalking him in the halls, talking to him at his locker, being a general annoyance without realising so. Like just weird backhanded compliments left right and centre while somehow also complimenting himself. He's like full on flirting with Dave, but Dave kinda can't tell because it's such a weird brand of flirting, but gradually Jesse wears down his Fort Knox closet door and they make out backstage in the auditorium.

This is the only way I can imagine them.

I think I've redeemed myself with my St. Crackships because this could be a cute little one shot if I knew how to write Jesse St. James as a character.

That was fun!! I hope you had fun answering too 😂

Send me a ship and I'll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it
