In no particular order:
Kurt was an “oops” baby. He was certainly wanted, but not planned. The Hummels had to quickly move homes because they lived in a one bedroom house.
They were married a year (in their early twenties) when they found out Elizabeth was pregnant.
Elizabeth was a painter and tailor. She made money by doing commissions, like murals for the city or seaming wedding dresses.
It was also just Burt and Elizabeth (my headcanon name for his mom). Elizabeth’s parents didn’t like Burt because he was blue-collar, and Burt’s parents were old and gone by the time Kurt was 2.
He was also two weeks early. Burt was working in the mechanic shop to until he got the call. He had been working on the underside of a car, got the call, slid out so fast and was out the door in 3 minutes, the employees who still work for him tell Kurt that story all the time.
He was going to be a Burt Jr, but It was actually Burt’s idea for him to be Kurt, because their first date was to a screening of Sound of Music at a drive in. They decided to give him his mother’s middle name so he had a piece of each of them in his name.
In his baby/toddler years, Kurt was a very judgmental baby. It wasn’t that he hated everyone, but he preferred his parents. He was still very giggly though.
Kurt had a million interests as a child. He loved musicals and dance, but he also loved watching his dad work and would watch him work on cars with big eyes.
His favorite outfit as a toddler was a mini version of the Hummel Tires and Lube coveralls + a tutu. An interesting choice, but it made him happy.
Elizabeth would make her clothes in a way-she’d get pieces from shops, and then change them to how she wanted them. This is what inspired Kurt.
Kurt’s first job was working in the tire shop. Their favorite thing to do was to was when a jerk customer thought that Kurt didn’t know what he was talking about (or just being a jerk in general), one of the employees would come over to help, say “What do you need, Mr. Hummel?” and watch the customer’s cogs spin in his head until he figured it out.
Kitty : Old people at weddings always look at me and go, “You’re next”.
Kitty : So I started saying the same thing to them at funerals.
You said fill your inbox with cool things and I want to interact so here are a couple of weird things from my school.
1 Choir teacher 1: I drove 40 minutes to get lunch today.
Choir teacher 2: You are an animal, you’re more animal than man.
2 The time a girl was selling a 100 pack of worms on strings for 10 bucks a pop and sold out within a day. (My friend bought two and made them into earrings)
3 And
✨Bread Man✨
1, i love it and choir teacher #2 sounds like me
2, i mean i would have bought them too
3, tell me more about this mysterious/amazing sounding bread man
I love how much dancing Tina and Kurt and Mercedes get to do in season 1. Especially because later they’re all made fun of and insulted for their lack of skill, or called lazy.
I mean like Kurt had his little Single Ladies video that Tina was also involved in. And Tina was working on her own dance number during Dream On. And Mercedes got to dance some during Bust Your Windows, as well as be part of the flash mob with Kurt and Tina during Safety Dance
And who were they dancing with?? Umm, Brittany, Mike, Matt, etc. The ones we’re told are the best dancers on the show. And they all manage to keep pace with them. And I know it’s not the same for Mercedes cause both hers were fantasy sequences but still. Sure the dances were nothing close to, say, winning first place in a big televised dance competition or anything, but they knew she had moves. I mean they wrote her into these numbers and she wasn’t standing still
But nah it was easier to make fun of Kurt’s common moves and say Tina could barely pick up the most generic dances and give Mercedes nothing to do and then call her lazy (: Anyway if anyone ever wonders why season 1 is my fave season then one reason is because my fave characters weren’t being treated like pure horseshit yet. Those things are very related
Also semi unrelated and I’m not like trying to shit on Naya or anything but the way they told us Santana was one of the best dancers was the same way they told us Finn was the best male vocalist in the group lmao. Like girl where were you during Bust Your Windows huh?? I swear I saw some gifset of the scene where Santana makes fun of Kurt’s three signature moves but instead it’s just Santana’s three signature moves of like. Waving her arms over her head, doing her weird little arm pump thing, and slapping her own ass lmao. But nah I mean she’s good but not like Mike and Brittany good
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.
The first thought Ruby had before she fell to the floor was somehow not about the body in front of her. No the first thought she had when she fell was, Oh brothers, how am I going to tell Yang?
The second thought was, that person was—
“Ruby!” Blake quickly rushed to the floor to comfort the hiccuping girl.
“That was-“ Ruby took in gasping breaths as the tears poured down her face.
“It wasn’t a person anymore,” Blake gripped Ruby’s shoulders tight pulling her to meet eyes with the Faunus. “Ruby you can’t blame yourself for this. Whatever that thing was, it wasn’t human anymore.”
Ruby shook her head still struggling to get enough breath into her lungs. Anything to keep breathing, enough to speak. To make them understand what she understood.
“No, no that’s-“
“Ruby, you can’t take this on yourself,” Weiss fell to the floor beside her partner, gripping her hand to try and steady the younger girl.
“No! That’s-that’s not what I’m trying to say! That wasn’t just a person, it-“ the pause had both ex-heiress and Faunus leaning forward to take in what Ruby said next, “it had silver eyes.”
As Ruby lurched forward to throw up the meager contents of her stomach on the marble floor, Blake and Weiss shared a look over her hunched form. In their eyes you could see a terror befitting the situation. Only one sound was made after that, and it was a tiny gasp of an “Oh” to come from behind Weiss’s raised hand.
