MOODBOARD MONDAY: THEME ONE - FAMILY
Blaine’s mother puts on a show of being the perfect mother, and Blaine suspects she was, to Cooper. But she tries, and after the Sadie’s Hawkins incident, she left her job as a nurse again, to be home, hoping to connect more with Blaine, and his friends.
Blaine’s father on the other hand, has high expectations and sometimes neither of his children live up to them. What really digs at Blaine though, is that it’s okay for Cooper to do what he wants, but Blaine is expected to be more like their father. (Is it because Blaine is his father’s son, and Cooper has a different father that they don’t talk about?) The icing on the cake though is his father’s constant comparisons of Blaine to Hunter Clarington. ( @claringtonhqs )
Cooper and Blaine meanwhile have a tumultuous relationship. It’s to be expected with the age difference though and the physical distance now that Cooper is mostly full time in LA. But Cooper was one of the first people he came out to (first in his family), and surprisingly was really great about it. Even if he teases Blaine continuously, Blaine knows Cooper is the one person in his family he can genuinely count on, and he misses his brother, especially around the holidays.
