look, it’s a literal multicorn

it’s not meant to have horns but it does anyway.  and one of them is drooping off.

you can see it’s the sort of creature that was built for defense but it added some horns to fight with when the rules changed.

What if you had one of those machines that tracks eye movements and records brain patterns just so you could see people’s reactions to reading your fic? You could figure out what gets them excited, exactly where they tune out and look away from the screen, what sentences they read multiple times… You could cut everything down to just the most engaging parts and end up with basically the best fic in the world. :D

LOL

i mean you wouldn’t end up with the best fic because sometimes you need in-between parts to build things up or make them make sense (and i know you know this etc. just saying)

do you usually have a hard time telling which parts are best?  i feel like i can usually tell when things are awkward/boring/not working quite right, i just don’t know how to make them *not* be.

fandom is such a weird personal thing

even if i don’t always succeed i am committed to accepting that

(a) people justifiably detest things that have uplifted and saved me, and

(b) people have been uplifted and saved by things i justifiably detest.

and i firmly believe we cannot begrudge anyone any of it.

summary: Kurt and Blaine were talking on the phone, and now they’re not.  Bits of canon fill-in from “I Do” to “Wonder-ful.”

length: ~2900 words

rating: pg

When Kurt gets back from the wedding-that-wasn’t, he calls Blaine almost every day.  Sometimes more than once.  And Blaine calls him too.  It’s fun, and comfortable, to share little anecdotes or complain about classes and work, and sometimes to stay on the phone together for a whole movie or more.  Kurt just loves being friends with him - he’d really missed not talking to his best friend for a while, and this is so much better, it makes his whole day brighter even to spend five minutes on the phone with Blaine, and Blaine says that he feels the same way.

This goes on for about ten days, and then he gets snowed into the apartment with Rachel and Adam and Santana, and he makes the - in hindsight - incredibly stupid decision to watch Moulin Rouge, because he’d thought he could handle it for some reason, he’d thought he was happy with Blaine-his-best-friend now, and that Blaine-his-boyfriend was a distant memory and better off that way…

And so he ends up feeling displaced and disoriented, crying on the couch.  Because it’s not a snowy rooftop and Blaine’s not there, but for just a few minutes he was again, and.  He can’t deal with talking to Blaine or texting with Blaine or even thinking about Blaine, really, because the Blaine that he talks to isn’t the boy from his dreams, but he’s too close, and the re-opened wound hurts almost as badly as if he’d never gone through those slow months of mourning and healing and rebuilding at all.

(oh yeah um publishing this too) (sometimes i look at my asks and see them and then forget to *do* anything with them!)

THANKS you are the best too :D.  and lol idk how ~well known~ I am or not - I always wonder about that actually!  not just for myself but in terms of how socially big/small/connected this fandom is - I obviously don’t follow all the other meta-ers, I am super picky and follow only thirty-something people on purpose, but do I at least recognize the names of most of my fellow tumblr glee meta peeps?  or not idek.

I’m having one of those days where things are getting done very slowly because I keep saying “I can’t do thing 2 yet, I have to do thing 1 first” but I don’t feel like doing thing 1 right now so neither of them gets done.

Anyway, I keep reminding myself that I can do things in whatever order I want, so I am getting things done, gradually. But I kind of wish my brain was working differently than it is right now. There have been lots of stops and starts today. 

… I have those days constantly, are there other types of days?  I swear I forget sometimes.

Kurt comes home to find this on his pillow. 

Best.

So Marley wrote a song for her fellow Glee clubbers, and gave it to them to sing, because Mr. Schue was being mean to them and she wanted to do something nice and show that she cares, and sometimes I love her lots.

We’ve talked some about the division between the seniors and the new kids in ND this year.  I don’t think it’s unrealistic - for TV values of realism, anyway.  Sometimes when you join an existing group you form strong bonds with existing members; but sometimes you don’t.  You all get along, of course, but your close friends in the group are really only the other members of your entering class.

And remember that when Marley first joined ND, back in “The New Rachel,” they were basically the stars of the school, and she had to *audition*?  (Jake auditioned and wasn’t even allowed to finish his song, I mean.)  And then with Brittany’s breakdown, and the class presidency, and the breakups of the various existing relationships… most of the senior members were embroiled in their own drama very quickly.  She probably wouldn’t think they needed or wanted her as a friend.

(see: Brittany ‘introducing’ herself to Marley in “Sadie Hawkins,” too.)

But… even people who seem to have enough friends from some outside perspective can usually use some more, too.  And Marley’s well-rooted in her little group of newbies that have are all confirmed as friends and not enemies as of “Feud,” and she’s trying to be a little less quiet and daring to show people her songs, so this time when she hears Mr. Schue being awful, she goes up to some of the older kids, who she probably doesn’t talk to much, and says, hey, I’m your friend too.  Me, and my friends, like Unique here.  If you want it.

you have more friends than you know

Because we’re all here.  And then Blaine sings

you don’t have to go through this on your own, you’re not alone

and it gets me every time.  Because this is the sort of thing he says to other people all the time, this is like, his helping-people mission statement (he says basically the same thing to Kurt when they first meet in NBK - and Karofsky too), and Marley knows and gives him the words.  And also how it echoes back to this fall when he did feel so alone, like no one was listening, but then Sam did and ;_; there’s a reason why it’s these four kids singing this song, okay, Sam was there for Blaine (and vice versa in Naked) and Marley was there for Unique (in TRYWBTP and Glease, especially; and then vice versa e.g. in “Womanizer”)… and, speaking of Blaine’s going-through-this-alone re: his depression this fall, Marley had a similar thing going on a little bit later but overlapping timelines with her eating disorder, and no one saw - and everyone else abandoned the club in “Swan Song.”  So she has that background, too, of these friends that weren’t there for her a little while before they were, so she knows - sometimes you feel like you don’t have friends, sometimes they don’t quite get it, or whatever.  And then they can still come through.

So she writes a song for Sam and Blaine and Unique, and they give right back to her by singing and telling her how great the song is, and Blaine’s planning to make Mr. Schue hear *her* song, and I love them, okay, this is not very coherent but I have a lot of feelings and <3.

I just saw a meme that said “describe yourself in 3 television characters.”

My mind immediately piped up: Kurt Hummel, Dean Winchester, Spongebob Squarepants.

………..what!?

I…literally just blanked out.

This will take some serious thought.

I GOT IT! Jess Day, Kermit the Frog, Martha Jones

Rory Gilmore, Liutenant Commander Data, Burt Hummel

River Tam, Allison Argent, Catelyn Stark

(and about ten million times less badass than that makes me sound)
