Hi! ✒️ If It’s Not Too Much Effort!

Is Brittany S. Pierce a Klaine shipper?

I have a very elaborate personal headcanon about this…we know from the wedding episode that Brittany apparently looked up to Klaine during high school and felt like they were inspirational for her.

Now, one might say that this makes no sense. Brittany was encouraging Santana to come out way before Kurt and Blaine got together. But here’s what I think. She didn’t find Klaine inspirational, she found Kurt inspirational. Kurt was the first out gay kid at McKinley and paved the way for Santana to be accepted. And so all she wants is for Kurt to be happy, and since Kurt truly wants to be with Blaine, she tries to make that happen.

When Brittany heard Dave and Blaine were moving in together, she knew that it that news would hurt Kurt, so she went out of her way to decorate the room in the most garish way possible to show Blaine and Dave what a farce their relationship was and further the cracks in a more subtle way.

So, she tells Kurt that he needs to move on, because she cares about him and doesn’t want him to spend his time being depressed and moping around over Blaine, but at the same time she is actively working to sabotage Blainofsky’s relationship so that they can eventually get back together.

Sue says in the wedding episode that “we” - not I, we - “have conspired to deceive and manipulate and, yes, imprison you briefly.”

Now, I took that as further evidence that she and Brittany were working together to bring the two of them back together. Sue did it in a more outright way, with the bear cub and the elevator, but Brittany was a little more sneaky about it.

We know that Sue locked Kurt and Blaine in the elevator for 24 hours. However, for most of those hours, Sue was in the auditorium for the Invitationals competition. So who was controlling the Sue puppet? My theory - it was Brittany.

I also headcanon that Brittany was the one who manipulated the dating app to have Kurt match with an old man, so that Kurt didn’t end up in some other relationship that would be harder to break up once she got Blaine to fall in love with Kurt again. We know she’s good at math and coding, so it is entirely in the realm of possibility that she would be able to control the dating app in order to accomplish that. 

In conclusion, Brittany is a genius, loves Kurt, and will do anything to make him happy. And if that means partnering up with Sue to get Klaine back together, than so be it.

And yes, I have spent far too much of my time thinking about this. Sue me (no pun intended). 

Throwing my two cents into the Kurt Hummel hogwarts house debate...

I’ve always treated the house one is sorted into as the house whos characteristics the child values the most. Hence Harry asking for Gryffindor (thus proving he valued bravery more) and Draco (who isn’t particularly cunning or ambitious) who values Slytherin as that is what he has always been told is supreme. And the most obvious example being Hermione with her literal quote in book one about how knowledge is not as valuable as bravery in her eyes.

Slytherin, my own house, is what for a long time I believed Kurt was. But then I started writing this post. Kurt is very ambitions and cunning, however his value on those traits? Very little. In fact I would go as far to say his values would place him in Hufflepuff before Slytherin. Kurt sees how Rachel and Santana (both absolutely Slytherin no arguments) treat others around them and doesn’t always agree or like it. When Blaine tells the warblers that Kurt will be the duet partner without audition Kurt immediately asks about others having a chance. No Slytherin would do that. Kurt may love Rachel but when he is fighting her it’s usually over her ambition going too far. In Audition he and Mercedes are horrified by how Rachel scares off sunshine. He doesn’t value the deviousness of her plan even to object to the content of it. Kurt hated how Sebastian acted and treated others around him (very unslytherin of him because us Slytherins can appreciate our enemies plans even when we hate them so much) and even refuses to take action with Santana.

Kurt is so so brave. He faces that school and everyone who has hurt him every day with determination. And he doesn’t just value bravery in others, he expects it. During prom Queen he expects Dave to use the opportunity to come out because that’s what he would have done. He never really understands that his level of bravery is not common. Until Blaine showed up he had trouble finding someone who would be “just as brave as you are” (Burt Hummel Duets). He stands up to authority (Britney/Brittany, Bad Reputation, and others) and is somewhat disappointed when others around him don’t do the same. Not to mention the chivalry demonstrated by letting Sebatian off the hook. If you look at most of the series he seems like a cut and dry Gryffindor.

However I acknowledge that no one is a cut and dry anything. Kurt is ambitious, but he refuses to even put his ambitions above his family (Wheels). I think Kurt would be a particularly tough placement for the hat. I could go even as far as to say a hatstall. You can legitimately make an argument for any of the houses. But I do think that “Better be... GRYFFINDOR!”

To add to the Blake Yang Ruby drama from the episode today, when Yang fell into the Ever After way back in volume 8. There was a lot of discourse because Blake broke down crying and Weiss comforted her, and ruby didn’t. That was because Ruby was in the middle of a fight. Ruby has always had to keep fighting while others get to handle their emotions. “You may have been a failure before but you can’t be one now” she isn’t allowed to have the emotional processing stick. Now Ruby is seeing Blake be everything she used to be, happy, positive, in control, close to her team, and it’s destroying her that she can’t be that anymore.

Wait this is in this ep?! Cool I love this song

I’m sure this has been done before but

A Sugar Motta Rewrite

So let’s be real I’m probably just projecting a ton, but I think that with a few adjustments Sugar had potential as a character. So this is my Sugar Motta rewrite, inspired by @kurthummeldeservesbetter

So about the Aspergers… by this time aspergers was already no longer an medical term, it would be on the autistic spectrum. But the thing is with the way they did it it just came off like she was pretending to be neurodivergent to get away with saying things? I don’t think that is good rep and for this rewrite I’m going to say she isn’t on the spectrum because I wouldn’t know how to write that correctly and glee sure didn’t.

Now on her singing (this is where the projecting comes in). I think that a really good use of her would be to have this girl who loves to sing and loves to dance. But doesn’t realize that she’s really not that great at it. Her dad tends to spoil her and he doesn’t want to hurt her by telling her that she’s not good enough. So when she auditions for ND she still has that air of superiority and still does terribly. When Mr Schue doesn’t let her in the club she’s heartbroken. This is the first taste of reality she’s gotten about her own voice. So the troubletones still happen (but I would totally send different people over there, much more similar to @kurthummeldeservesbetter’s). When the ex New Direction members show up they realize that this gatekeeping they participated in, towards someone who so obviously cares about music was really just hurting the arts at their school.

It’s around this point that I would want Sugar to get a number, that isn’t perfect, but shows that she’s a quick study and is trying really hard at this. When the Troubletones fold back into the New Directions it would be great to have a plotline where Sugar is worried that she still won’t be good enough for them. And then someone (preferably Kurt because I’m a sucker for him mentoring and protecting the newbies) would give Sugar a pep talk about loveing the music and working hard and how they were wrong.

Idk I feel like this would have been a good use of Sugars character? To provide some juxtaposition to the main club who all came in and could sing like professionals, having someone work towards that goal is really important to me. It also would have given her a plot line beyond the Valentine’s Day episode and then maybe people would have liked her enough that she wouldn’t just disappear all the time in the next two seasons. And then Sugar could be a really interesting character to look through the eyes of in 4x01. With them bullying everyone? Idk I thought this would be cool.

“After all, what were the odds that his stalker would be attending such an exclusive event?”

SIR

You know going from 247 open tabs of fanfiction to 14 tabs of fanfiction in 5 minutes is an experience that simultaneously makes you cry of sadness and happiness. Because they’re gone and you’ll probably never find them again but now that they’re gone you can finally admit to yourself that you were never going to read them anyway

So purely on vibes I matched ND members with musicals I’ve seen in person (included high school productions because I needed more shows). There is no real reason to any of these I just went with what felt right, in order of when I saw the shows...
