I have all the feels

Because of this ...



Dance With Somebody, 3.17

When an episode of Glee really hits me, I don't fall asleep until really late and then I wake up really early. So I'm writing this on five hours of sleep, and it's pretty random. It's nothing brilliant like[livejournal.com profile] crown_of_weeds or [livejournal.com profile] calanthe_b would write, so go there if you're looking for insight.

First off, as I told [livejournal.com profile] lavender_love00 this morning, I had a dream last night that Darren Criss was over at my house (didn't look like my house), on my computer and leaving fannish comments everywhere about last night's episode. Smart, analytical, impassioned fannish comments. He was using my accounts at first, but then he created his own. He was pretty much just smart-gushing about/dissecting Klaine and the episode and the characters' motivations and talking about his headcanon (you know, the stuff we do), and ... not telling anyone who he was.

I thought of posting, "I'm sitting here watching Darren Criss anonymously fan-flail about Glee," but then I thought he might feel a little betrayed by that, so I didn't. I just planned on privately messaging [livejournal.com profile] anxioussquirrel about it, instead. And then probably the rest of the universe.

I know the reason it was Darren and not Chris in my dream is that there is no way I could have been so calm about Chris being in my house. But Darren was apparently a friend of a friend, or one of my cousins (I have like 30 if you just count the first-gen ones, it's hard to keep track, new ones are popping up all the time), or something.

So I’m kind of excited about not one, but two Kurt bedroom scenes in this week’s episode, because I’ve had so many unanswered questions about the layout raised by previous views of it, and I get obsessive about adhering to the canon layout and decoration in my fic.

However, I also kind of hate that I’m going to have to watch both of those Kurt bedroom scenes over and over again, because I’m not sure I can afford that much Kleenex.

[livejournal.com profile] lavender_love00 has already pointed out that Kurt still has his prom queen scepter and crown. I can't believe I missed that. Okay, I can, because MIKE O'MALLEY.

I might need to revise part of a couple scenes in my 8-million page fic that is oh-so-close to being done (damn work and health insurance applications) based on that new piece of information. Or I might just need to leave it be so that the fic sees the light of day before I'm 60 (which is a long time off, in case you're wondering).

I have watched this episode only once, so naturally I didn't catch even a quarter of what was going on. Truly random notes (based on my Twitter - I tweet nonsensical comments during the episodes because I have no one to flail with other than my cat, and she does not flail):
  • Thrilled that "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" was a Brittana song. I have a very fond memory of serenading my girlfriend with that on the bus in college (she pretended to hate Whitney, but she loved when I sang it ♥). (Oh, I'm a girl which is why I am appreciating the Sapphic resonance of this performance and its applicability to my life.)
  • So did Teen Jesus and Quinn sing a song romanticizing adultery?
  • Mike O'Malley started me sobbing, Chris Colfer continued me on it, and the look on Darren Criss' face made it turn into a snot fest.
  • The Puck bromance scene. The glittery gift bags! Puck, I love you! Fandom is so right about you being comfortable in your own skin.
  • After Kurt and Blaine talked in Emma's office, and she gave them that terrible "brutally honest" advice (but I tip my hat off to her for pointing out that she knows nothing about couples' counseling), I was kind of hoping she'd be brutally honest with Will. Instead, she was just honest. There you go, Emma, being nicer to Will than I want, and making me think that you two actually do love each other, even if Will is terrible at showing it, and really needs to go into some counseling of his own (without you as the counselor, dear).
  • I can't even talk about Kurt and Blaine, except to say that they were so teenagery. (Okay, no, adults make all the same mistakes that they do here.) I love how Kurt was self-centered and Blaine was non-communicative, because that's how they are (and frankly, those things attract them to each other). And I love that these things became problems, because that is what happens in relationships. And I liked that they didn't have huge personality transformations in order to work it out (or really any - wow Kurt, Blaine's going to visit you every weekend? - except you know what, I bet Blaine would rather visit Kurt in New York than the other way around, and that's why Kurt's self-centeredness is not usually a problem for Blaine). Love does not depend on people being perfect.

'twas yesterday, so thanks for that. I spent a good portion of it watching episodes of The Wire, then when I ran out of those I switched to Ken Burns' The Civil War on Netflix. THEN I got an episode of Glee featuring several of my favorite characters crying, Will reclaiming his love of rapping, and Puck giving Blaine a VERY APPROPRIATE novelty shot glass. It was pretty darn good.

LOL OMG I'm am cracking up over here because I didn't realize at the time how appropriate Blaine's shot glass was. BWAHAHAHAHA!
