Those auditions made me want to barf...

blaineandersonx‌:

I did not run away like that. I tried from the beginning to be your friend but you were just all “I know all about you and everything about your glee club” and yeah, it made me nervous. No one else has really done that, so it was weird. But maybe, friendship is a two way street, and you could have bragged less about knowing everything about me and maybe offered something more friendly, like, “Hi, I’m Hunter, and I’m a Warbler, nice to meet you.”

No, there’s nothing else.

Well, you certainly seemed to want to get out of there quickly. Pretty much as soon as I showed up, actually. You’re not a bad guy, Anderson, but how am I supposed to react when you treat me like I’ve got advance leprosy?

I like to be prepared. I intend to win. Look, I wasn’t trying to stalk you personally but you were the lead singer of the Warblers up until recently, what do you think articles about the team were gonna talk about? Trent’s background vocals?

It wasn’t bragging, for the record. But it’s hard to socialize when we’re not in the same room.

... Well this was weird. Something’s off about this.

Wait, what Sebastian thing? Did he tell you?

When you were helping him move in but decided the mere sight of me was too much and ran away like you were about to have violent diarrhea and had just learned the only available toilet was 3 miles from there.

Truly how you befriend someone.

Tell me what? I think he tried to make up some BS excuse as to why you left that day. Why? Should he not have? Or is there something else?

blaineandersonx‌:

I don’t really like not seeing eye to eye though. You do know that I really want to be friends with you, right?

Honestly... no, I don’t.

Must’ve gotten lost somewhere between calling me a creepy stalker for reading showchoir blogs and... well the whole Sebastian thing.

#blaine #//deliberately ambiguous but he means the moving in

See the trick boys is to really sell what you’re singing, no matter how silly the lyrics may be. Conviction can make or break a performance. Gotta tap into those emotions, even when it’s pop.

Exactly. So, do you go to the school Rachel went to?

No. I’m from Dalton Academy. We’ve... our schools are kinda showchoir rivals.

PM: I had a really great weekend overall. But back to the Dalton grind. What do you say we get our boys in shape this week?

We definitely should. And I intend to use my own assignment to show them how it’s done. I mean, I know you and most others don’t particularly need a demo... but still...

Guess I feel inclined to give you a show.

You know why we won? It might have taken a bit, sure, but we’ve got both the talent and the creativity, and I’d like you to note the second factor. There’s a reason traditions are likened with the past and not the present.

No. It wasn’t a fluke. We’ve left behind a good chunk of talent, and I’ve got it on good authority quite a bit of new talent was discovered this year as well.

Mhhhm.

But why break a winning formula that has proven itself effective over the years? Sure, it’s not foolproof, but... its track record speaks for itself.

I guess we’ll see about that soon enough.

I’m serious. Mr. Puss is a gem of an animal.

That is still a bit one-uppy. Does that mean you don’t have dance soloists? In our group we had our strongest dancers do a little something special depending on the song being performed.

Lets hope no judges this year are a huge fan of Gene Kelly. You’d have missed an opportunity.

Not really, no. You see the Warblers have a certain... reputation to protect, in a sense. We are performing with our blazers and thus representing Dalton on a greater scale. It’s... a little complicated to explain.

I will of course take the judges’ musical taste in consideration as soon as they’re announced. But not too much either, we don’t want to make it seem like we’re pandering.

missmarleyliz‌:

Oh, same.

Good. I look forward to a little friendly competition.

Are you settling in okay to the new school and all?

blaineandersonx‌:

I just don’t understand where you’re coming from, I guess.

With all due respect, Blaine, I think it’s pretty apparent by now our brains operate differently. Not saying your way of doing things is wrong, but we don’t see eye to eye, that’s for sure.

Not to say you can’t bring up good points either, though.

It’s a talent that that person had and they rightfully wanted to express that they have dancing abilities. If they know one discipline, they probably know others too, and if they don’t they can probably learn them really quickly. It’s a great skill to have.

Look, I’m all for expressing talents. I’m a great swimmer... but I’m not gonna try to demonstrate that outside of a pool. Not gonna have the guys do a number in... scuba gear. You get the idea.

I’ll grant you that at least it was a form of dance though...

You can win many times over the years but given that hasn’t been recently, you might want to consider switching things up.

If the shoe fits….

Listen, I understand New Directions won last year but... what’s your track record before that? Doesn’t look too glorious according to a quick google search.

This shouldn’t offend you since you’re no longer on the team... but maybe last year was a fluke. Not saying you didn’t earn it, but half of you graduated.

It doesn’t.

berry-birds‌:

So you don’t have soloists then?

I think you could just focus on their strengths that are helpful to the group and if there are not politely turn them away.

I mean... we do, of course but they don’t involve tap dancing. You just provide the main vocals for a song.

Yes, of course, that’s a very valid point.

redoegilbert‌:

Oh, cool. I was in choir. Just regular choir, though, both school and church. Sounds like you’re a busy man, my friend. Hope you have time to have some fun every once in a while.

I make time. You have to, otherwise you get cabin fever and lose a marble or two in the process. Self-care and all that.

sebnoelsmythe‌:

PM: That’s certainly not going to change. Did you have a good time?

PM: Yeah, all things considered it was pretty decent. How about yours?

brooksalistair‌:

Just guy drama. Apparently, I’m clingy? I’m not, but he thinks so. His loss. Yeah, I’m looking forward to cutting it up and tossing the thing. Thanks, man. At the end of the day, I’m proud of what I did, so that’s all that matters.

Oh? So this guy went from hot to cold in a short amount of time? Sucks for you. I’ve been in similar situations before. It’s never fun.
