If you could make one ship canon, what would it be?
The answer depends on whether we're making it endgame, too, because at first I thought yes we are so I went "honestly, Faberry." If it's whatever canon that doesn't have to be endgame then Quinntana. Either way it's "get Quinn a girlfriend" time.
I've expressed my desire for a proper Quinntana midgame a few times and should really make a masterpost one of these days. Listening to my Quinntana playlist right now thinking about how delicious that could have been. Quinn would have needed to be a larger part of the story, and tbh Santana too but that's a not-so-secret desired side effect of this. It could have been fun and such an obvious choice I'm shocked they didn't do it. Well I'm not because not only does Glee hate girls but they'll take any opportunity to blatantly waste potential. Midgame Quinntana could have really been something. The playlist just shuffled itself to Wonderland so that's my cue to stop talking about them, they're broken up now.
And then, if we're talking endgame, Faberry. I don't even go that hard for Faberry, I really don't, and not because I have anything against them it's just that I can't wholeheartedly feel the same passion actual shippers do. But it'd just make sense. Far more sense than any other ship I can think of, honestly. The Glee Club tried so many combos but Faberry was always out of sight, staring longingly from just beyond the horizon. If only Glee was made today, I genuinely believe they'd go there. But despite Brittana and Klaine and Glee's general "gayest show on TV"-ness, idk I guess they just weren't ready for that. But man, wouldn't it have been something. I think it would make sense for both their characters and have poetry to it that Glee was too cowardly for. Not even just in a pulling a Korrasami kind of way, though that too, but just both Rachel and Quinn finding what they've always been looking for... in each other. Not only would we make so many girlies around the globe happy by making them canon but it would just make sense. But also I think this is the one purely fanon ship where them becoming canon would make the most amount of people happy. Show me another "crack" Glee ship with as many devoted shippers, as huge a following - you can't.
So yeah, I'd give Quinn a gf. Whether temporary or long-term that just depends on the details.
#i just realized i automatically assumed this was about glee#with good reason#but in terms of other media... *whispers* jori#glee asks#anon#faberry#quinntana

Thanks @ivelovedhimthroughworse for the tag.
I have two little things. First, some Time After Time/“damn Baz, you live like this?”. Even in death, Simon is not up for Baz’s shit.
“I wanted to see you, love,” I start and I reach to hold his face, “Simon, I live to see you. I can’t imagine my life without you, even now. You’re the only thing worth living-”
His cold hands hold my wrists, stopping me from cupping his face and kissing him.
“Cut the poetry, Baz,” he says sternly.
Then, I started posting my Klaine Spring Fling 2: Electric Boogaloo fic, Barking Up The Wrong Bakery. I’m posting a screenshot from the Word document, since Tumblr won’t do the formatting justice.
To non-Gleeks: this is a true story. Sort of. It’s never said in the show, but Ryan Murphy said New Directions is very much a pun on nude erections, since Mr. Schue comes up with the name when he’s in bed with this wife. This show is wild.

My Top Posts in 2022:

Mid year book freak out tag:
Best book you’ve read so far in 2022?
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I made both my mother and sister read this book, that’s how much I loved it. I love a morally grey bisexual disaster and I adore TJR’s writing! It was one of the first dual POV books I’ve read where the voices were very distinct, which is telling of great writing.
Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2022:
Heartstopper Volume 2 by Alice Oseman. The Paris Trip is still my favourite part of Heartstopper and I’m looking forward to the day that mess of a trip will be displayed on screen!
New release you haven’t read yet, but want to:
Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong. It’s a poetry collection and it’s gay and I want to get my hands on a copy soon. It’s also my only 2022 release on my tbr 😭.
Most anticipated release for the second half of the year:
Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I’m 🤏🏻 close to preordering a copy. Also the reviews that have been coming through of people who’ve already read the book are giving high praise so that’s getting me more excited.
Biggest disappointment:
I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman. But also I knew the premise (boy bands and fans) wasn’t something I really enjoy so it wasn’t a surprise I didn’t love this book. Also I read this right after A Little Life so Alice Oseman had no chance sorry.
Biggest surprise:
The Gentlemen’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee. I put off reading this book for years after buying it on a whim in Canada and it was genuinely great! Also I started it in 2021 and couldn’t get into it but once I pushed past chapter 2 and the adventure begun it was very interesting. It also went in a different direction to what I expected which was a nice surprise. Also I hadn’t heard a lot about the book, but in the end I gave it 4.5 stars.
Favourite new author (debut or new to you):
Brit Bennet - I LOVED The Vanishing Half and I want to read more of her books! So far this year I’ve mostly read from authors I’ve read before this year.
Newest fictional crush:

Tagged by @wearfinethingsalltoowell thank you! :D
3 ships:
1. TealOranges. Might be my all time favorite ship and, as Joy said, so underrated! I desperately need more of this ship and these nerds in my life, but I might have to be the change I wish to see in the fandom (along with a handful of other dedicated tealoranges fans).
2. Lambden. My most chaotic ship and I adore them.
3. Jack/Ianto. This ship rips my damn heart out but I love the pain..... but actually, no I don't lmao
1st ever ship:
Probably Brittana and Klaine simultaneously. Actually, it may have been Ginny/Harry. Don't look at me.
Last song:
"Fragile Things" from Centaurworld
Last film:
Arrival
Currently watching:
Centaurworld
Currently reading:
Mostly NASA articles and random poetry
Currently consuming:
Like food? None. My neighbor just smoked the dankest weed and it's coming in through the vents, so I guess that.
Currently craving:
Zebra cake and pink vitamin water

day ten – last night on earth, green day
@klaineccfanficlibrary
Sehnsucht
The moonlight of my life
your face shines bright,
guiding me through the darkness
eith your love, my soul is touched.
In your essence,
I find strength
to overcome the trials and
strife.
Your memory fills the emptiness
of my nights,
bringing back a sense of life.
Though your absence
causes pain
the thought of you is my solace.
In my mind, I see your shadow
and feel the warmth of your embrace.
Your kisses
were sweet nectar
sustaining me day by day.
But now I am left with only remembrance
of you, a faded photograph
that I pray.
Love is a language I struggle to speak
but with you, it was effortless
and though our love may have ended
you will always be my new beginning,
my muse,
my essence.
I'm here to honour you.
If I lose everything in the fire
I'm sendin' all my love to you.

Obsession is not love,
infatuation is not love,
when someone ignores you,
or treats you poorly, carelessly,
or with indifference
that’s not love--
that’s a lack of love,
for yourself, for trying to fill
your missing pieces with theirs
but when someone is whole
and you are whole
and you act in kindness and benevolence, vulnerability
through strength,
love becomes an exchange
with another person--
and that is
its truest form
-Atticus

is there a Klaine fic written in verses? like a poetry fic?
HERE are the search results on AO3. I want to highlight one that is currently a WIP. The author is actively posting chapters. - HKVoyage
See Me by AllyThePotato (WIP)
Blaine Anderson is not who he used to be. After he came out to his family in his freshman year of high school, everything fell apart. He stopped hanging out with his friends, started dressing differently, doesn't sing or dance anymore. Until Kurt Hummel waltzes into his life during his junior year, and tries to open him up, all the while Blaine is trying to cope with the fact that his father doesn't want anything to do with him anymore. Blaine writes all of this down in a journal, in verses.
Written in verse, this is 'See Me.'

In Orbit (36/40)
Pairing: Klaine
Rating: T
Fic Summary: Blaine starts attending NYU, and he and Kurt weave in and out of each other’s lives - as friends, exes, friends with benefits, and harder-to-define labels - while they navigate college, relationships, and adulthood in New York.
Notes: Stern is NYU's business school.
Read on AO3 | All chapters
April 2016
The golden light of dusk enveloped Manhattan, and the flowers on the High Line were blooming.
Blaine and Effie walked down the narrow path between the garden beds on the elevated park, alternating between the comfortable silence and inane chatter of good friends.
It was relatively crowded with the nice weather - New York was waking up from its winter slumber, a mild breeze tempering the leftover warmth of the spring day - but eventually they found an open bench overlooking the street below, and sat down. Blaine could hear a trumpet playing somewhere, but couldn’t tell if it was a street performer or just someone practicing in an apartment with their window open. During a lull in their conversation, he asked Effie, “Do you think about - what you’re going to do after college?”
“Mm, no, I avoid that thought at all costs,” she replied, and he laughed.
She was quiet for a moment, staring at the traffic below, then spoke more softly. “I mean...I’ll write poetry after I graduate. I may never earn any money from it, but I’m going to do it.” She sighed. “I just think - when you’re eighteen, and you get into this fancy school in New York, and your teachers and friends are all so proud of you, it feels like - the world is your oyster. I’ve never been a really dreamy person, but that was - a powerful drug, I guess. I assumed I could get this degree and then go on to do something vaguely Creative and Literary, without really knowing what that is. But when I think about it now…”
“The reality seems a lot more complicated,” Blaine suggested.
“Yeah,” she agreed. “And my grandparents, they’re - getting older, obviously. And they don’t really - they took me in, took care of me, when I had no one else. Now they don’t really have anyone else, and they’re going to need - help, you know.” She inhaled deeply. “I’m pretty sure at this point I’m going to have to move home once I graduate. I don’t see any alternative.”
Blaine watched her as she spoke and, unable to come up with any suitable words in response, he simply put his arm around her shoulders. She leaned into him, her braids cascading over his shoulder and chest.
“I know it’s the right thing, the necessary thing,” she said, “but I can’t help feeling like it’s a bit of a failure, too. Like, what was the point of coming to New York if I’m just going to end up back there?”
Blaine squeezed her tighter for a moment. “There is no way of looking at the situation that makes you a failure,” he told her. “Just because you’re not staying here doesn’t mean it was pointless. You get to spend four years here, gracing everyone with your intelligent thoughts and witty comments and incredible writing. The point is that I got to meet you, along with plenty of other lucky people. And the fact that you value the wellbeing of your loved ones over the idea of, I don’t know, lofty career aspirations - that just means that you’re a good, compassionate person.”
After a moment she exhaled, and said, “Thanks, Blaine.”
She straightened up, and Blaine let his arm slide off of her, but kept close, their thighs still pressing against each other on the bench. “Anyway,” she said, “I didn’t mean to go full sob story. Why did you ask that? Are you thinking about what you’re going to do after college?”
Blaine folded his hands in his lap, looked down at them, and tried to pull together his thoughts. “Sort of. I guess it’s - kind of like what you said, about the way you think when you’re right out of high school, before you see more of what it’s like, to be an adult…” He looked down at the street below them, cars and pedestrians and cyclists passing by, the ceaseless movement of a Manhattan evening. “I’ve always wanted to pursue music because I loved it, and I loved the way it made me feel, but also - the way it connects people. The way it changes people. So it always seemed like the best way to do that, to make art and share it with people, was to perform. But lately I’ve been thinking…”
A few days prior, he’d gotten a call from his supervisor at the music camp he’d worked the previous summer. She’d offered him the position again - “you were so great last year,” she’d told him, “We would love to have you come back.” He had said yes, without even thinking about it, excitement sparking in his chest at the idea. It wasn’t until he’d hung up that he considered whether he should have looked for some other job or internship instead. When he’d worked at the camp last year, it had been a last-minute thing, just a good way to earn money and have some job experience over the summer. But then it had been so much fun, and he’d felt surprisingly proud of how well he’d been able to work with the kids, that he hadn’t even hesitated at the opportunity to do it again.
“I guess,” he said to Effie, “I’ve been wondering if that‘s actually the most effective or realistic career path.”
Effie looked at him thoughtfully. “So, what? You gonna transfer to Stern and get some useful skills for the job market?”
Blaine laughed. “I can’t believe you’d accuse me of that.”
She grinned. “So, what then?”
Blaine had seen how hard Kurt was working on his senior performance, and how much tireless effort he’d put into all of his classes at NYADA. He’d seen Rachel’s experience with the New York theater world, how much she auditioned and how infrequently she was actually cast. He knew about the competitive, cutthroat nature of any performance arts-related internship in the city, from his own experience applying and from his classmates in the music department. Everyone fought so hard for such a small number of opportunities.
He knew he was capable of fighting hard. He knew he had talent, and he believed in his ability to stick to something he wanted.
But what if he wanted something simpler?
The other day, when he’d been giving a lesson for the psychology study, there had been a moment when the kids had all been singing along with him, smiles filling their faces, some of them physically unable to keep still with all the joy they felt, and it was just - all the sudden he felt so proud that he had been able to make this room full of kindergartners so happy. They cheered whenever he came in to teach a lesson. It was one of the best parts of his week. And he’d thought - isn’t this using music to connect people? Isn’t this the point of music, to make people sing and dance and cheer? Even if none of these kids ever pursue music seriously, even if no Grammy-winning singles ever come out of this room, their lives were still improved by music. Isn’t that the point?
“I’ve been - toying with the idea,” Blaine said, feeling nerves buzz in his stomach to acknowledge it out loud, “of teaching.”
Effie raised her eyebrows - not in shock, it seemed, but just a shift in expression as she processed this information. “Teaching music?” she asked.
“Yeah,” he replied.
She looked at him a second longer, then smiled softly. “I think you’d kick ass at that.”
The tension in his chest broke as a laugh bubbled out of him. “You really think so?”
“Absolutely,” she confirmed.
Blaine grinned, wrapping his arm around her shoulders again in a hug. It was mildly terrifying to have spoken the idea aloud, to have it out in the world beyond his own head, but Effie’s reaction caught him just on the edge of his pit of uncertainty. He was so scared of not being who others thought he was, of failing the expectations he’d created for himself. But he was entirely confident that whatever Effie went on to do, whether she stayed in New York and became a literary star or went back home and took care of her family, that she wasn’t a failure. Maybe he needed to give himself the same grace.
They got off the High Line and stopped at a falafel stand to get dinner. They ate perched on the edge of a concrete flower bed outside a tall, corporate building, a modern-looking fountain bubbling behind them. Effie finished her gyro first, and pulled out her phone as she sipped from her soda can.
“Oh, god,” she muttered after a minute.
“What?” Blaine asked.
“Just some people I went to high school with that are apparently getting married,” she replied. “It’s disgusting.”
Blaine wiped his mouth with a napkin. “Because of these particular people, or is that your stance on marriage in general?”
“That’s my stance on marriage for people that young.”
Blaine watched a pair of women in dress suits pass in front of them, heels clacking on the gum-stained sidewalk. “They were in your graduating class?” he asked.
“Yeah,” Effie said, still staring at her phone.
Blaine took the last bite of his falafel pita and balled up the paper wrapping. Then he said, “I…kind of thought about proposing to Kurt, once.”
Effie looked up at him and blinked. “What?” she said. “Wait - when? What?”
Blaine laughed. “It was spring of my senior year. We’d been broken up for a few months, but - we were talking again, we were friends, we’d hooked up a couple times. Even though he insisted we weren’t together…I just had this conviction that it was only a matter of time, that we were eventually we were going to work it out.” Effie just stared at him, so he took a deep breath and went on. “I figured I had to do something bold to get him back, and to prove that I meant it - that I really felt he was my soulmate, that I wanted him forever.” Saying these things now, out loud, felt odd to Blaine. He could certainly remember what his thoughts and feelings were at the time, but now he felt so removed from it all, it was almost like he was telling a story about another person. “This was also - you know, marriage equality was in the news a lot, DOMA was about to be struck down, in California Prop 8 was being contested...it felt like it wasn’t just about us, but it was about being a part of something bigger. I knew by then that I’d be going to NYU, that we’d both be in the city, and that gay marriage was legal here. I don’t know, it seemed like exactly the huge romantic gesture I needed, so I had it in the back of my mind.
“Then, the next time he came to visit Lima, he brought his boyfriend with him. And that - snapped me back into reality.”
Blaine still remembered the feeling of being drenched with cold disbelief when he’d met Kurt in the Lima Bean, only to find him accompanied by an older boy with an arm casually, comfortably slung over the back of Kurt’s chair. Kurt had introduced him as “Adam, my boyfriend.” Not just ‘this guy I’ve been seeing,’ as he’d referred to him before, but his boyfriend. Boyfriend as in we’re committed, as in we’re exclusive, as in no Blaine I will not be having sex with you in the back of your car this visit. Boyfriend as in I’ve truly, officially moved on from you.
Yeah, the proposing marriage idea had evaporated pretty quickly.
“Wow,” Effie said. “I can’t believe - god.”
“I know,” Blaine agreed.
“You understand now how insane that was, right?”
Blaine laughed, suddenly, involuntarily. “Yeah,” he said, reaching up to smooth down his hair. “Even without the boyfriend, I can’t imagine he’d have said yes, under the circumstances. You know it wasn’t - really serious, I didn’t get a ring or anything. It was just something I kind of thought about for a few weeks. Daydreamed about, I guess.”
Effie took a last, long sip from her soda and stood up. “You’re even more of a delusional romantic than I thought.”
Blaine shrugged, joining her and heading to throw away their trash. “I was, anyway.”
“Don’t kid yourself, Blaine,” she said, smiling at him. “You are still very romantic, and very delusional.”
He rolled his eyes, but couldn’t keep from grinning as they began walking down the sidewalk, back downtown, towards the beacon of the Freedom Tower lighting up the southern end of the island. He thought, ultimately, that she was probably right. He was still a romantic - he still believed in love, even if he had a more nuanced and hopefully mature understanding of relationships than he did when he was eighteen. He knew that loving someone was more complicated than grand gestures and blind affection. He’d learned that love could be messy and hard in unexpected ways. He knew how much it hurt when things went wrong, when the warmth of loving and being loved back was suddenly rescinded, leaving only a cold dark void in his chest. And maybe the passing of time made him forget the exact depth of the pain, maybe his mind mercifully numbed his memories of the worst moments, but still - he knew he wanted love again, in his future. He knew he was going to keep singing along to love songs, and watching romantic movies, and believing that someday, with someone, he’d figure all that out and it wouldn’t fall apart. Maybe he was naive - or in Effie’s words, deluded - but he was okay with that. Blaine Anderson was a romantic, and even a few heartbreaks couldn’t change that.
