okay i couldn’t care less about tiktok drama but “all the things i hate about you” is providing homie-hopper representation in the media & as a former homie-hopper who hopped homies years before this song came out i feel seen

you’re in her dms, i’m a writer researching copyright law to make sure she can’t sue me for libel, we are not the same

Obviously because Lea Michele is Fanny they’re gonna do a reboot of Glee, so here’s my pitch to Ryan Murphy for an episode (assuming that the cast is what it was seasons 1-3):

It is September 1st, 2021, and it’s the first day back at McKinley High since the pandemic started. Since everybody’s been double vaccinated, nobody has to wear a mask, but Mr. Schue is having some difficulty convincing Emma to go back in public because she doesn’t want to get sick from COVID germs. He wants to convince her that everybody’s going to wash their hands a lot, so…

The Glee club meets in the choir room, and Mr. Schue’s first assignment back is for everyone to come in with their best hand washing song that fulfills COVID safety guidelines, and the group will vote mid-week about which one to perform for the end of the week’s post-COVID safety pep rally. Blaine then cheerily leads the Glee club in “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair” by The Weather Girls.

The episode then turns to uncovering and consequently dealing with the drama that went down during quarantine. After a couple of months of quarantine, Finn broke up with Rachel because he couldn’t handle the “long distance.” They have a conversation in which Rachel begs him to get back together with her, but then Finn’s phone dings with a flirty text from Quinn. Finn then tells Rachel that apparently Quinn got COVID during quarantine and asked Finn to take care of her because Puck cheated on her again with a girl at his synagogue and her mom was spending quarantine in the Galapagos. During that time they got really close and now they’re trying to date again. Rachel storms out, crying, and obviously sings “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo (in which Quinn is the “blonde girl”).

Tina and Mike also broke up during COVID mostly because their parents didn’t allow them to see each other. This life event inspired Tina to change her aesthetic. Now, instead of being goth, emo, or vaguely retro, she is #cottagecore and absolutely obsessed with Taylor Swift. She and Mercedes start a petition to change the name of the school to McKinley High (Taylor’s Version). The school goes completely haywire making this proposal, with rallies, demonstrations, etc. Sue eventually gets so pissed off that she breaks this apart, yells at everyone, storms into the choir room, destroys some stuff, and then back in her office contemplates if she could kill the glee club and get away with it with “no body, no crime” by Taylor Swift (feat. HAIM).

everyone on broadway tiktok is like this is not funny, girl and i think it’s maybe the funniest thing in the world

so now that lea michele is fanny in funny girl i’m genuinely scared to leave my apartment bc i’m convinced that life is just one fucked up glee episode. like there is a very real part of me that thinks that if i go to starbucks to get a coffee my barista will start singing an olivia rodrigo song and somehow over the course of those three minutes i’ll learn something about the power of friendship

i need a congressperson who runs on the platform of bringing back this love era maroon 5
