I actually just burst into tears
Kurt Hummel feelings below the cut.
This is an interesting thought.
One thing that I hate about the direction they’ve taken Glee this year is that they’ve kind of dropped the idea of kids as underdogs, or actually showing the kids as underdogs, and in many ways this does include Rachel, especially when compared with other characters (like Kurt, or Tina, or Artie). The role of Maria in WSS was practically tailor made for her (while she laughed in Kurt’s face during his audition). Choking at her audition was horrible (and I’m still mad at the writers for doing it), but within universe it was no one else’s fault—it wasn’t like she was being bullied—and she was rewarded with a second (actually third) chance after harassing a teacher until she relented. She again sang several solos at Nationals for the millionth time (while Kurt has never sung lead with ND at a competition, and when his admission was still undecided and he could have really used another shot too). Rachel also was crowned prom queen (barf, but still) through an act of kindness, rather than silent bullying. She’s dating a popular jock, “the hottest guy at school,” and has the full legal right to wreck her life if she chose to and marry him.
I still think Rachel is in many ways an underdog, or certainly has been. But lately, instead of showing her as clearly an underdog who keeps her head up and keeps moving and sings, “Defying Gravity,” they’ve insisted on making her happily dependent on her suckass boyfriend, rewarded for behavior that wasn’t really that great, special-snowflaked like whoa, and privileged and over-represented within the narrative (though that’s not her fault or a slight on her character at all).
It’s not that Rachel is doing anything wrong (well, harassing Carmen was wrong, but the narrative presented it as “Rachel’s drive” and she did it at Tina’s encouragement). Also, they have treated Rachel HORRIBLY this season, but they haven’t shown her as the underdog she once was, and that Kurt still very, very much is. And I HATE that they’ve done this, that they’ve made Rachel succeed at her dream (in such an illogical and unsatisfying way) while Kurt had to fail, because it would have been SO DAMN EASY to show Rachel as the underdog overcoming again here at the end of the season. To show her not letting the rejection get her down, refusing to give up on her dreams of NYC and Broadway, to show them what she can really do by going to NY anyway. To show them that she doesn’t need NYADA to make her a star, because she already is one. And soon all of New York will see that too.

- Blaine: We're going to be separated through no choice of our own next year, so we should sit down at really talk about how we're going to deal with the distance, because this relationship means so much to both of us.
- Kurt: I promise we'll figure out this long distance thing. No matter what, I know I'm going to grow old with you, my high school sweetheart, my first and only love.
- Finn: Oh we're breaking up I mean surrendering to destiny, Rachel, for no actual concrete reason. No, you don't get a say. I'm making this decision and the decision about how you pursue your dreams for you and you don't get a say in that either. I packed your bag, now get on the train. I'm sure your panic attack will subside by the time you reach New York.
stuckwithharrypottertilltheend:
I wonder is why the hell Draco is sitting at the Gryffindor table.
and he’s totally checking Hermione out.
omg no it actually looks like Ron and Draco are checking each other out. :P
or maybe Draco turned away when he realised Ron would notice him checking out Hermione…
See that very subtle head turn of Harry’s? He and Draco were sharing a glance when Hermione, ever observant, turned her head and noticed the two boys. Ron perks his head up, wondering what Hermione is looking at, paying no mind to the friend on his left who just got finished dry eye humping.
omg
SOMEONE CORRECTED IT! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

EXCUSE ME??
OH
We reported yesterday that Bloomsbury was “counting on a new Rowling three-book set” in order to help boost their sales profits and volumes. We asked you to let us know what you thought this might lead to, and you provided some great responses.
However, it is now known that Bloomsbury will be releasing the supplemental works, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard as one complete box-set.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
THAT WAS NOT MISLEADING AT ALL, BLOOMSBURY.
So less Finchel and more Klaine next season right?
*happy grin*
I squealed when this happened. Loudly.
finally, it is a gif!
