Peace, Slaine and Land.
Slaine lived, Slaine lives, Slaine will live!
If blam for mother russia isn’t your favorite thing that came out of tonight then, seriously, I don’t even know how to reach you at this point
Tonight on “you read the warnings on that fic so why did you click on it anyway”
Oh anon, I have a group of friends that would love you. But, yes, while I hate the term endgame, I can think of no other show (other than maybe Gossip Girl) that so clearly flaunts “end game” couples.
I completely agree btw. Finn especially always thrives when he’s with Rachel. It’s, and please excuse me for being cheesy here, it’s like she really is a star and he’s feeding off that energy. Even when he’s not with Rachel, but wants to be with Rachel, he’s more confident and capable.
Klaine is trickier because I think Blaine dimmed a little in Season 3. So, was Kurt better objectively (like Finn) or was it that he looked better off because Blaine had sort of become scenery? Either way, Blaine got lost in his relationship just like Rachel gets lost with Finn. Meanwhile, Kurt changed so much during their relationship it’s almost hard to guess what influenced what.
Someone, and you’ll have to forgive me for not checking, said that we’re meant to root for them because Blaine and Rachel are both looking for people to love them outside of being the “Star” or the “Ace.” However, it’s still a mixed bag. We, as the audience, do want that for them. But most of us don’t want them to shine less to get it, you know?
Really, I can’t decide if it’s the beard, the mouth or the intense look in his eyes that makes this picture. And by “makes this picture’ I mean “makes me feel all sorts of tingly.”
I’ve actually written something about how Rachel and Blaine were on different sides of the narrative this season. When Blaine was at his best, Rachel was at her lowest, and so on. Blaine lost himself during The Break Up story and Rachel had one of her strongest moments with Finn. Blaine went through that downward spiral when Rachel was establishing herself in Swan Song. Then, starting with that episode, things slowly started to swing the other way. Rachel started to lose herself and Blaine became confident again.
By the end of the season, things had shifted toward Rachel being at a high and Blaine in a weird place. I think it’s intentional writing, not because of parallel reasons but just practical ones. They take turns — one Ace struggles with interpersonal dealings and the other doesn’t. Rachel had tons of conflict in her life in Season 3 and Blaine was relatively settled.
Now, when it comes to Finchel and Klaine, yes there are some definite parallels in how the two Ace kids get lost in their relationships. Rachel loses sight of her dreams and goals with Finn. Blaine lost sight of himself with Kurt. They both have a tendency to put aside ambition for the relationship. I struggle with what we, as the audience, are suppose to take from that though. The two kids presented as naturally talented and successful struggle with relationships and boundaries. That I get. However, is that message anti-relationship? Sometimes it feels that way. Is that the message we’re meant to get though?
berrymartin replied to your post: Wait. Did we all just accid…
yes
naturally.
Fair enough. Red’s a sexy color at least. Also, Nikki wins best new tag with “blam for mother russia.”
And Nikki needs a new name tag.
Wait. Did we all just accidentally become communists because of a TV show?
I made a post about Rachel Berry. Can’t we talk about her instead? If we have to talk about Blaine, we can talk about them as parallels some more. You know I love that topic. Just…no more of the rest.
mshoneysucklepink replied to your post: No…
I think what the anon really misses is Warbler Blaine…
See, I find that confusing. First, Warbler Blaine was mostly retconned in Season 3 … so that’s not Season 4 or Blam’s fault. Next, if they really missed Season 2 Blaine then, well, isn’t the Blaine of this season closer to that than the one from last season?
I don’t know, man. People watch the show for different things. I just don’t get how you can like Blaine separate from any ship and not enjoy at least parts of the season.
