THE MUCKRAKER : EIGHTH EDITION (  APRIL 26TH, 2043 )

THIS MONTH’S EDITION OF THE MUCKRAKER MUCKRAKER IS HERE TO HELP YOU KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST GOSSIP! READ THE MARCH EDITION BELOW TO STAY UP TO DATE WITH WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR THESE  LOSERS AND LEGENDS.

AND REMEMBER, IF I HEARD IT, IT’S PROBABLY TRUE…OR SOMETHING.

JBIJ’S MONTHLY RANKING ( PG. 1 )

this month’s ranking includes jacob ben israel ii’s favorite establishments based on wedding attire for the puckerman-remington union…paired with commentary.

LINK  -  self appointed flower boy @lincolnonline​​ pulled out all the stops with his outfit to the wedding. dare i say more heads turned his way than to the bride? we LOVE a shit stirrer! 

IVY -  nepotism is treating @ivystjamess well! while i’m not convinced she can pull off the whole pastel thing yet, she sure did look good as she chased julien schuester out of the venue in distress! 

NOAH - noah didn’t stand out in her bridesmaids dress in the slightest, but @puckermanoah certainly proved that she could be the hot sister after changing into a little red ensemble for the reception! one question noah, where’d you get the money for a dress like that?

ELI - not sure if @eli-stjames got the memo that this was a wedding, not a funeral, but one of lima’s ex-grungiest looked absolutely stunning in black this evening. eli undoubtedly shattered the hearts of het men all over that reception!

JOEY - men typically don’t dress well and @dumbofassjoey further proved most men will go with a regular suit and call it a night. however, in comparison to his other, plain, peers, he wore it the best. 

COVER STORY ( PG. 3 )

arguably the best ( or worst ) spot you want to end up on if you ever receive the HONOR of being in the muckraker. this is THE juiciest story jbi jr. could get his hands on and he promises to deliver it with integrity to his devoted readers.

                  NEW WWE VENUE ANNOUNCED: THE LIMA BEAN!

like most people who hail from lima, you’re stuck in that godforsaken mass text finn schuester created in high school. if you were fortunate enough to actually unmute it and check, you were able to see the events leading up to the smackdown of the century between @zoepuckerman and @ljholliday. word on the street is lj is obsessed with zoe, her ex-boyfriend, and her friends. it got so bad lj took sterling duval to visit her sneaky link, THEO BEISTE. additionally, lj was so obsessed, she banned, eli, zoe, and most hot people from the party she threw with sterling. zoe, in a very rationally way, defied that order and attended the party anyhow. within five minutes of walking in the door, she reminded partygoers just who she is by physically handing lj her ass. here in lima, we appreciate a fight, love a good girl fight, and adore zoe puckerman even more when she’s punching weirdos! lj tried to fight back, but, meh. i once again commend zoe for acting in honorable fashion, and condem lj for being a stalker. if anyone has a video of the fight, please email it to [email protected], we’d love to post it! 

MORE HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS SPLIT, JOEY MOVES ON RAPIDLY!

earlier this month, one of few gay couples to make it out of that godforsaken town called it quits! eyes and ears have given little confirmation as to why @angel-alexanderr and @dumbofassjoey went their separate ways. as intriguing as that is, the juiciness of the story doesn’t end there though. apparently joey bounces back just as quick as he throws his ass back, because sources say he’s got himself a little nyc rat. @ziggilbert is a bartender and nyu student. talk about a mysterious hottie! the two were spotted together at callbacks and while we at the muckraker can’t say we’re wishing them the best just yet, we can say that we appreciate their ability to be messy. and to dearest angel, don’t cry too hard, what did you think was going to happen after you and “hoey” hummel-anderson broke up? 

RUMOR MILL ( PG. 5 )

it’s common knowledge the muckraker operates under the assumption that if something is said it MUST be true, but in the rumor mill jbi jr acknowledges the top EIGHT rumors that he’s heard going around in a few concise bullet points. because if he’s heard it, the student body should have to hear it too!

did you hear @phoenixharper​​ saved 7 kids from a burning building this weekend? i heard she started the fire because she’s an arsonist, but that was nice of her!

@meadowsbukowski is reportedly providing cannabutter with the breadstix she’s serving. all you have to do is ask for her number! 

rumor has it @samuelchangx hasn’t released any promotion for his new album because he’s still hung up on some hottie from lima. 

@heidianderson didn’t come home for the wedding, not because she wasn’t invited, but because she’s got a bun in the oven. 

another competitor in callbacks open mic night told us @frannyfeltera steals her jokes.

@rockyremington claims to have some hot new arm candy, but showed up single to the wedding. what’s wrong, rocky? does she go to another school?

sources close to @kadenfabray say he’s been replaced by a clone!

@sterlingduval is finally going to do something with her life by starting up her own company of sex toys that she’s calling daddy issues!​

COME BACK NEXT MONTH, IN THE MEANTIME, KEEP STIRRING UP MUCK!

who: lincoln clarington-smythe & @crhqstarters​

when: 22/03, mid-day

where: the streets of new york, just outside link’s apartment. 

link was a busy man on the go, places to be & people to see and all that. and while the places he needed to be usually consisted of cafe’s and shoe stores, it didn’t diminish their importance. it was clear to anyone who knew him that link was thriving in new york, it was his kind of city. and ‘taylor swift’s sixth studio album reputation’ had taken a shine to it too, thank god. so it was only appropriate that link get her a sister. and now that ‘if you seek amy’ - a beautiful green tree python - was apart of the family, link thought it would be a genius idea to show her the big apple.

snake wrapped around his forearm, her tongue flicking out to the air, link and ‘if you seek amy’ made their way down the streets - pretty oblivious to the people keeping their distance as they realized that, yes, this man was walking around with a snake. as link made his way back towards his apartment building, he caught a familiar face in the crowds and - in typical fashion - made a scene out of making his way over, shooing people away with his free hand.

“ hey bestie, long time no see, ” link greeted with a smirk and he stepped next to them. as he did this, ‘if you seek amy’s’ head darted up, looking around alert, until link gave her a pat on the head with his finger. “ this is my new baby, ‘if you seek amy’. she’s shy but, don’t worry, she’ll be just as much of a bitch as he sister and her daddy in no time. ”

𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒕 ( link & trace )

WHO @lincolnonline​ and trace hummel-anderson.  WHEN thus. after slushying WHERE bathroom

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING getting slushied, trace had made his way towards the bathroom only to be met with an even worse horror: lincoln clarington-smythe. they were practically fated to be enemies and like a true self fulfilled prophecy, they had taken issue with each other to the point they had even gotten kicked out dalton together. he didn’t have the energy to bicker with link as he put his lipgloss back on in the mirror or whatever he was doing, so trace silently crossed to the sink and stuck his head under the faucet to try and rinse out his hair. it failed miserably. when he came up to reexamine this situation by looking in the mirror, the back of his head came into contact with the faucet in a thump. “ow, fuck.” he winced, now rubbing his head as he looked in the mirror. noticing link’s presence still, he turned to the other, “rocky remington is a bitch.” he grumbled, suddenly feeling an unfamiliar sense of camaraderie with the other, “sorry you had to go through this shit, too.”

xoxo gossip bitch - ur secret santa link

Link was convinced he was literally a genius. When the whole ‘Secret Santa’ thing was first brought forward to him, he wasn’t too sure what that really entailed. There was something so impersonal about just buying someone a pair of diamond studs and calling it a day. That was until he received his pairing. It was like the stars had aligned when he was given Joey. Finding a gift for some boring girl he had never spoken too? Flop. But finding something for another fabulous homo? It was perfect.

Saying that, Link had still spent plenty a night scrolling through every online store he could think of, only to find himself putting items he would want in his cart and just shopping for himself. There was only a few days left until the presents needed to start being given and all Link had done is buy himself a whole lot of shoes and earrings. At the end of his rope, Link had drawn up a list of things he thought Joey liked. Cheerleading, being stupid, dancing, being gay….and that was all his list consisted of currently.

While the list seemed a little useless at first, on second look Link was hit with a wave of inspiration. He was gay, he could dance, he could find a cheerleader willing to help out - Hell, Winnie was just a few doors down. Fucking fabulous. After sending out a few DM’s to scope out interested parties - because no, he was not going to tell anyone who the present was for! It didn’t matter if he was going to make them practice, he was not going to disclose the secret part of a Secret Santa until the day of the performance! -,  a few rehearsals to work out some basic dance moves and a night up by the sewing machine making some slutty little dance costumes, Link knew he had created the best Secret Santa present anyone could ask for. What was a better gift than a serenade from the Lincoln Antonio Clarington-Smythe? 

When the 21st rolled around, Link was ready to go. Once the lunch bell went, he sent out a text to Winnie and Ruby - his other willing participate - to meet outside Joey’s locker, and then slipped into the bathroom to get changed into an outfit one could describe as ‘Whore Elf Takes Manhattan’ and throwing his Vivienne Westwood winter coat on top. As he made his way up toward his target’s locker, his posse in tow, Link couldn’t help the smirk that crept onto his face. This was going to be a total serve. 

Tapping Joey on the shoulder, Link wiggled his fingers in greeting before gesturing to the woman next to him to step into position. “Joey, hey boo. It’s me, your Sexy Secret Santa. Now stand back and revel in awe at your present…me!” 

Link nodded towards his sister, her cue to hit ‘play’ on the track set up on his phone. With the music playing, and dropping their winter coats to reveal Link’s meticulous - and skimpy - costumes as practiced, the three began their performance, Ruby taking the Jade sections - because they were both bad bitches and Link was totally in love with that level of dramatics, and Winnie taking the Cat lines. Link knew that if Joey didn’t eat this up, the other students standing in the halls would.

.

Christmas time was always one of Joey’s favorite time of the year, mostly because he wouldn’t have school soon and that he would get gifts. Of course he would have to give gifts to other people too, but he liked that part – it always seemed to put a smile on people’s faces. As he was standing by his locker ready to go home, he felt someone tap his shoulder, making him look up at the person with a smile. He looked over at the other’s outfit as he let out a small chuckle – he had always liked Link’s outfits since the day they had met, it really showed that he didn’t care what people thought about him and Joey liked that.

“Oh, hey Link!” Joey said with a small smile, listening to what the other was saying. Joey didn’t even remember that he was also going to get something from this Secret Santa thing, so this was a nice surprise – he definitely didn’t expect Link to be his Secret Santa, but now he was curious to see what the other had got him. “Wait, you? What does that mean?” Joey asked but before he could even say anything else, Winnie and Ruby had showed up and the music started playing.

It was a gift he definitely didn’t expect, but of course Joey was enjoying it – he wasn’t sure about the other people in the hall, but Joey just stood there with a smile in his face as he listened to the other three sing, letting out a small chuckle every now and then. Link had always been pretty talented and even Joey couldn’t take that from him, so he was happy with the effort that Link had put into that gift – it wasn’t a gift like the others, but Joey definitely enjoyed it – he even got his phone out to record most of it.

As the music came to an end, Joey couldn’t help but to clap and smile, walking closer to Link as he wrapped his arms around him to give him a hug, smiling at his friend. “That was pretty awesome! You’re all kinds of awesome.” He said with a small chuckle, nodding his head over at Winnie and Ruby. “I’m pretty sure that everyone at this school will remember this, I’m sure I will. Even got it on my phone and everything.” He said with a smile.

“Well, thank you! I mean, I didn’t expect this but it was probably one of my favorite gifts ever.” He said, shrugging his shoulders slightly.

THE END.

𝚆𝙷𝙾: @lincolnonline​ + finn schuester 𝚆𝙷𝙴𝙽:  friday night, august 21st 𝚆𝙷𝙴𝚁𝙴: holliday residence

FINN WASN’T A WHINER. there was no crying in the big metaphorical game of baseball that was life. the brunette grinned, she bore it, and moved along with each day. unfortunately, alcohol threw a wrench into the mix of this routine behavior. sure, she had a drink or two before at sleepovers or special family occasions but nothing like this. before finn knew it, one drink turned into two, two into three, and suddenly she couldn’t keep up. the last thing she wanted to be was the embarrassing, crying, drunk girl, but her usual logical approach to her emotions couldn’t withstand the amounts of alcohol she’d been gulping down all night. everything going on with benji and zoe and jett was way too much right now. maybe the intoxication was heightening her emotions, she didn’t know, but either way she just needed to step back. finn plopped down on a couch beside lincoln clarington-smythe, a boy she only knew through other people or through his instagram posts. “is it alright if i sit here?” she asked, only a slight slurred quality behind her words. “this is kind of my first big party and it’s a lot to take in.” with alcohol in her system, the honesty came out. even if she was coherent, she was definitely a lot looser than she might tend to be sober. “are you having fun? i’m sort of not to be honest with you.”

HEADCANONS

Winnie Clarington-Smythe was adopted the minute she shot out of the womb. Looking for another child to complete their little family, Sebastian and Hunter hit the jackpot when they found out about a teen couple in Lima who were having a child and were looking to adopt. Being adopted into one of the wealthiest families in Lima, Winnie never asked questions about where she came from and she never really had a thought cross by to find out about her biological parents. She knew they didn’t care enough about her to keep her and her dads were far cooler than a pair of teens who were probably working at gas stations now.

Growing up in the Clarington-Smythe family, Winnie was showered with affection but also the best things money could buy. She was always one step ahead in the fashion game, one step ahead in having the best toys, and one step ahead in life in general, and that was a lot for a child to take on, but there was one other thing that came with being a Clarington-Smythe... Private school.

Winnie actually enjoyed Crawford during her freshmen year. She played tennis and she was a part of the Canaries. It seemed like the perfect fit for a rich, white, blonde girl but she craved something else. There was no social hierarchy or Queen Bee at Crawford simply because they were all on the same level. Upperclassmen maybe got better seating at lunch, but there was no challenge and Winnie just felt like that’s what she needed so she begged her dads to transfer her to McKinley. They were against it at first because it was public school and even tried convincing her to go to Carmel since it was a public school with a good reputation, but she knew McKinley was where she needed to go. It was a school filled with the archaic ways of high school; jocks were on top and others were just plebeians.

Her dads eventually agreed and upon her sophomore year, Winnie was a Titan. It was like her dreams were finally coming true, except for the fact that her first week was absolute hell. Coming from the Canaries, there were rumors circulating that she had been sent to McKinley for the sole purpose of joining New Directions and helping the Canaries and even the Warblers at Dalton. None of it was true, but she could see why people thought that and she knew if that was to be her legacy just in her first week at McKinley then that she had her work cut out for her. So, she skipped joining the glee club or anything pertaining to the performing arts at all which broke her a little inside since it was the one thing she truly enjoyed at Crawford and traded in her headband for a ponytail and polyester, choosing to join the Cheerios to throw her higher up on the social wagon quicker than most.

two doors down - self para

who?: alice anderson & male oc (with a special appearance from lincoln clarington-smythe) where?: dan & nia’s wedding reception / mckinley choir room when?: saturday, november 7th / monday, november 9th about?: alice has a revelation of sorts while hiding in the bathroom at the wedding and decides to bring her new found confidence to the glee club just in time for dolly vs. taylor week. set to dolly parton’s two doors down.

Alice couldn’t help the niggling feeling of regret that sat in her gut. Yes, the wedding had been beautiful and she had enjoyed watching the married couple’s first dance and it gave Alice an excuse to wear the dress she had been given for Christmas last year, but it became pretty clear pretty quickly that most of Alice’s night was going to spent standing against the wall. 

As Jaz & Serenity continued their Wedding Party Opener, Alice felt her stomach twist and turn with anxiety. Wiping her sweaty palms on the skirt section of her dress, Alice did her best to discreetly get up so that she could head to the bathrooms. Head down and shoulder slumped, the brunette felt someone grab her by the elbow and spin her around. It was Lincoln, making his way to the side of stage for his duet, dressed it what Alice had to assume was a recreation of a Doja Cat look from her knowledge of the song she new Bodhi and Link were going to performing. His face was pulled into a look of disapproval and Alice felt herself shrink under his glare. “You’re really going to dip right before I go on? I’ll remember that, bitch,” he stage whispered to her, as if to not disturb the other wedding guests around her. While Alice knew there was more likely than not no actual malice behind his words, it certainly didn’t help with her sudden and intense episode of anxiety and the second he let go of her arm, she dashed out of the hall and into a bathroom stall.

Locking the stall door and sitting on the closed seat of the toilet, Alice put her head in her hands. This was a mistake. She just didn’t know how to be a person in social situations where she wasn’t playing a character. Alice was a nobody, she didn’t have the private school experience that her brother did, she didn’t have the popularity and social circles that some of the other girls in Glee did. And every day she had to deal with the fact she was planning to pack her bags and leave her family behind and run back to L.A. She didn’t belong here but how the Hell was she supposed to belong in L - fucking - A?

“ two doors down they're laughing and drinking and having a party. and two doors down they're not aware that I'm around.” 

Alice choked out a sob, wiping her nose with the back of her hand, not caring if her makeup ended up smudged of if she had just ended up with a total snot rocket on her face. She had no plans on going back to the reception. But the last thing she was going to do was call her dad to pick her up.

“ but here i am crying my heart out, feeling sorry but they're having a party just two doors down. ”

Pulling a wad of toilet paper out of the roll and giving her face a quick wipe-over before flushing it, Alice took a deep breath and unlocked the stall, only to be staring at the face of a total stranger through the mirror, who was washing his hands and looked just as emotionally fucked over as she felt. Alice gave the boy, who appeared to around her age, although she assumed he must’ve been from NIa’s side of the family considering she had never seen him around McKinley, a empathetic smile and went up to the sink next to him.

“i think i'll dry these useless tears and get myself together. i think i’ll wander down the hall and have a look around 'cause i can't stay inside this lonely room and cry forever. i think I'd really rather join 'em two doors down. ”

She nudged the other teen’s shoulder with her own, trying to get him smile. Alice hated seeing people sad, it was the last thing she wanted. He let out a breath through his nose, corners of his mouth twitching up. “I’m Alice,” she said as she turned off the faucet, and as she pulled out a few sheets of paper towel from the dispenser, she heard him answer; “Pleasure’s all mine. I’m Coop.” 

Alice turned around, nose scrunched up. “Coop? Like Cooper? I wish you didn’t tell me that, that’s my dads name!” she exclaimed playfully, faking a look of disgust that got a proper laugh out of him. God, he had a really nice smile...

“So, you from Dan’s side of the family?

“Kinda, he coaches one of the Glee club’s at my school and my uncle’s were his dad’s students because dad also coached the same glee club, like, a billion years ago. It’s a weird family dynamic,” she explained with a shrug. She tried not to over think how everyone she knew was connected in some way or another. “Enough about me though, Coop, what’s got you so sad for?” She quickly changed the subject, handing the boy some paper towel of his own.

“I’m...not great at parties. Even back in New York, I’m much a mess at them. Big social events with people I don’t know? With two white boys singing Tia Tamera no less? It was just too much for me, I needed to step out for a second.”

Alice nodded in understanding, looking down at her feet. She knew exactly how he felt. 

“Come here, lemme fix your face up real quick,” he said softly, holding up a piece of the paper towel he had been given, the corner wetted.

Tucking a section of her hair behind her ear in nervous habit, Alice took a few steps forward until the two were only a few inches away. Coop took the extra step, closing the gap, and carefully wiped away some of the smudged mascara from under her eyes. Alice’s mouth grew dry, breath becoming shallow. She’d never been this close to a pretty show off-stage before...She swiped her tongue over her now-dry bottom lip and watched as Coop’s eyes followed down to her lips.

Oh my God...Was what Alice thought was going to happen...about to happen?!

Coop slowly pulled his hand away, resting the paper towel on the sink bench before bringing it back up and placing it on Alice’s cheek. Her face red, Alice felt something in the back on her mind click and she placed her own hand over Coop’s, his skin warm against hers. Slowly, the two leant close into a kiss.

This was it, Alice’s first ever off-stage kiss with a boy and she didn’t even know his last name. She fucking loved it!

When Coop eventually pulled himself away, a smile curving up across his face that Alice couldn’t help but copy, the two stood, frozen for a few more moments.

“So...my folks were able to get me a room with a double bed, so they could be with my baby sister...if you wanted to, I dunno, stay the night or something.” Coop’s voice was quiet and his tone hesitant, not knowing where things were going to go from here.

Alice reached out and straightened out Coop’s bowtie before letting a smirk sneak upon her mouth.

“‘Or something’ sounds like it could be nice.”

“ two doors down we're laughing and drinking and having a party. and two doors down they're all aware that i'm around. 'cause here i am no longer crying and feeling sorry. we're having a party just two doors down! ”

The two teens ran down the hall of the Inn, hand-in-hand and Alice’s heel clutched in her free hand, past the ballroom and into the elevator.

It felt like a dream. A hot boy from New York City had just kissed her at wedding and now they were going to his hotel room to do...it! Alice had read this trope a thousand times in her books - although they usually ended with the boy revealing he had fangs or something - and never in her eighteen years did she ever think it would happen to her. 

“ i can't believe I'm standing here dry-eyed, all smiles and talkin', making conversation with the new love i've found. i ask him if he'd like to be alone and we start walkin' down the hall to his place waiting two doors down, yeah. ”

The two continued to kiss, pressed against the corner of the elevator, until the universally familiar ‘ding’ of them reaching their desire floor sounded. As they stumbled out into the hall, giggling and laughing just like the movies, Coop fished his room key out of her pants pocket as he did, Alice’s face dropped into a serious expression and she quickly placed her hand over the door knob as he went to unlock the door.

“Just so you know, I’m not prepared for the emotional commitment of a long distance relationship and once I graduate I plan on going to California. But I will happily give you my number and social media and if I ever find myself in New York one day...”

Coop laughed, warm and sweet, and took Alice’s hand in his once again.

“Understood. No strings attached. Just two new friends getting to know each other and having some fun.

“Exactly.”

“ two doors down they're laughing and drinking and having a party and two doors down we're not aware that they're around. 'cause here i am feeling everything but sorry. we're having our own party two doors down! ”

Alice felt like a new woman. Well, not literally. Nothing had physically changed and she wasn’t a strong supporter of virginity as a concept in the first place...

But, boy, it just felt so right! She had gotten the ‘talk’ from her dad, about how she only have sex when she was certain it was the right time, right place and with the right person.

And it felt really right.

It was Monday, the start of a new week at school and she had gotten a text from Coop first thing in the morning, saying he was about to board his plane back to New York and she had sent back a ‘have a great flight!! text me when you land!’ in return.

She had a friend from New York now. Wow. 

It seemed perfect timing that the women of pop month for Glee was in full swing because she sure felt empowered. So much so that she had dug through her wardrobe until she found something at least slightly reminiscent of a cowgirl inspired look. A lacy maxi dress and a pair of old cowboy boots were all she could find, but with the braids she had done the night before, it got the message across. 

Alice strolled into the choir room, head held high and gave a nod to the band who she had spoke to earlier than morning in terms of preparing her song of choice. Dolly had a song for every occasion and this one in particular really spoke to...recent events.

“ oh, oh, ooh, two doors down! two doors down they're laughing and drinking and having a party and two doors down we're not aware that they're around. 'cause here we end feeling everything but sorry. we're having our own party two doors down! 

Jumping up on the piano on the key change and throwing in some simple boot-scootin’ choreography during the choruses, Alice let herself act the fool. It was the most herself she had felt performing in a while. Because she wasn’t ‘performing’ for anyone, just singing a song in a room with some friends.

Yeah, maybe Alice did belong in the Glee club after all.

“ two doors down they're laughing and drinking and having a party and two doors down we're not aware that they're around here we end, feeling everything but sorry. we're having our own party two doors down! ”

TASTE THE RAINBOW

WHO: @lincolnonline​ & rocky remington WHERE: mckinley high WHEN: tuesday, 1/18, day

Rocky Remington didn’t give a shit about the nude erections or vocal adrenaline or whatever the fuck drama was always blowing up the lima mass text. As far as he was concerned, everyone who participated in glee club and theater or whatever was a loser. The ski trip had been fun and a nice escape from school and everything, except of course some of the glee kids just had to make things weird and force their antics on everyone. It all started with Lincoln Clarington-Smythe’s fucked up Taylor Swift performance at karaoke night and then of course continued with Schuester forgetting his place on the social pyramid and tackling Austin on the slopes. It was evident to Rocky that these nobodies were forgetting that they were at the bottom of the totem pole and that no one gave two shits who took home the gold at some dinky show choir competition. 

Luckily for everyone, Rocky was happy to be the one to remind them where they stood. When the glee kids got cocky, it was up to people like him to knock them down a peg and put them back in their place. That was why first thing Tuesday morning, Rocky showed up to school with an extra large Big Gulp filled to the brim with cherry slush. As he walked through the halls, crowds of students parted for him like the sea. He rounded a corner near the choir room and that was when he saw his target. “Hey whore behavior,” Rocky greeted loudly, which quickly made Link turn around, “how does this taste?” Without hesitation, Rocky flung the slushie in Link’s direction and it hit him in the face with a smack. The students around him roared with ‘oohs’ and ‘oh shits’ before the inevitable laughter came. “Loser,” Rocky shouted for good measure, chucking the cup at Link like salt to a wound before he began walking away with a gaggle of his wrestling friends.

lincoln clarington-smythe and his future plans.

link has no plans of going to college after high school, so his senior year is set to be a year of him making as many films as possible and trying to get them out into film festivals. he also hopes that he’ll finally get onto the a24 email list, he knows there has to be one.

the world of gay horror cinema is going to be turned on his head by link, weather anyone likes it or not. school is just an after-thought, he’s just graduating because he has no excuse not to. it’s not a question of weather there’s life after high school but one of how famous can i get while still attending high school english classes.

TL;DR BIO

Trace Hummel-Anderson is both a trouble maker and comic relief whose heart of gold shines in the moments where it matters. Though since getting booted out of Dalton Academy, calling it quits with long term girlfriend, Lemon Lopez-Pierce, and experiencing a lot of anxiety around future plans he’s been slacking his way through his senior year at WMHS.

BIO

BEING A BOY NAMED TRACY INSTANTLY GAVE TRACE SOME AMMUNITION FOR GREAT JOKES AS A KID.  he wasn’t born confident, funny, and charming though. it took tracy, a gentle and sensitive little kid some time to get from running into his dads’ arms when being teased to whipping around insisting he was named after tracy of the turnblad variety rather than spencer tracy. ( a lie )

as kurt and blaine’s first born child, he got a lot of love from both his family and their friends that never really rubbed off. even at seventeen years old he’ll melt into a hug from his grandma carol or grandpa burt. when the couple decided they were going to have children, their first choice would’ve been rachel had she not already been pregnant with her and jesse’s “first co-production”. while they could’ve waited, or jumped the gun earlier. it came down to rachel’s timing in only being ready for kids after her first tony win and the hummel-anderson’s deciding to start their own family just a few months before rachel’s due date. in the end, they went with a healthy surrogate looking for a little money and decided their first child would be blaine’s, while the second could be kurt’s.

although joey and him are only a little under a year apart in age, trace took his big brother role very seriously growing up and he still does now. despite this being one of few things tracy took seriously and attempted to act like the tough sibling, the reality of the matter was that he was sensitive. he would rather make bullies on the playground laugh than confront the actual issue at hand

later in his childhood, tracy was turning out to be  a really funny kid. making people laugh was his favorite type of performance. sometimes the effort he put into making people laugh landed him in some trouble, but he always felt it was worth it.

besides being a class clown from kindergarten and on, it was only natural being named after two old hollywood stars that trace fall in love with film. by the time he was six he could recite laurence olivier’s hamlet soliloquy and knew spencer tracy’s doctor jekyll and mister hyde like the back of his hand. from a young age, he knew he wanted to be in the movies.

most of that stayed the same as he grew older. he blew through elementary and middle school like a hurricane of contagious laughter. he was a kid that could make teacher’s laugh even while they were pissed at him. that kind of carefree joking was snuffed out when he chose to attend dalton academy for high school since their arts program was superior to mckinley’s. despite not trying very hard and often acting like a moron, trace is very naturally smart and averages out as an A/B student even when in advanced classes. ( which, doesn’t help his ego. ) even though he was kind of fed up with the uniformity, tradition, and being on his best behavior at the time of his expulsion from dalton, he still misses both his friends and cousins who still attend the acadmey. the upside? he’s finding that carefree part of him again and loving the laid back environment. maybe a little too much....

while having two dads became more and more normalized as time passed, trace still felt incredibly insecure about it at his times. while he had developed this humuorus shell, beneath cracking jokes and laughing his way through each day, sat that same tender heart. he loved his dads and advocated fully for their community, but what he didn’t love was the inevitable teasing and ‘yo mama’ jokes that followed him his whole life. because of this trace tends to put up a pretty tough front, at times it can take a little squinting to see his heart of gold, but generally he prefers teasing and pestering as his preferred way to show affection. while trace tends to find himself as the shaggy, genie, or donkey of the friend group, when it comes down to it, his endearing qualities always shine through.

at the end of his high school career, he's hoping to head off someplace great like new york city and attend NYADA, but there’s also a lot of fear surrounding his future and wondering if the risk is even worth it. in the mean time, he might as well distract himself by dicking around at mckinley and enjoying life responsibility free while he still can.

IN GAME PLOTS

after making his own hot or not list to retaliate against lincoln clarington-smythe (rip), trace put them both in the hot seat and got them both kicked out of dalton. trace is now attending mckinley, oddly basking in his newfound freedom. unfortunately this is leading him to slack off a little.
