Kurt Hummel - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
Sebastian: When were growing up we didn't have Lil Nas X we just had Gerard Way moaning in Destroya.
Kurt: And The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Santana : And Freddie Mercury in drag.
I love how every popular Kurt ship fits into a different genre vibe-wise.
Hallmark rom , the good kind (yes they exist).
Teen rom-com.
Drama.
Sit-com.
Psychological thriller.
I absolutely despise seblaine because of how homophobic it's fanbase is and the fact that in canon it's rooted in malicious unsexy infidelity, and consists of the two of the most despicable characters being even more annoying than they usually are, and one of them isn't even redeemable.
But i always had this hilarious image of one them getting married because their elitist parents approve of them keeping it in the evil rich people community, something something they won't get their inheritance if they marry common folk etc.
It's not pure business, they start out okay, the sex is good or something if sebastian can inhale the hair gel long enough without passing out but then over the years the reality of being married to blaine anderson sinks in and they just kind of emotionally check out and either have an open marriage or just keep cheating on each other, Blaine bc that's just what he does and Sebastian bc a gals gotta cope.
They bring out the absolute worst in each other, the elitism, the cutthroat competitiveness, disregard for people's feelings etc
They tolerate each other but are incredibly snippy and shit to the point where their dinner guests get uncomfortable and stare like 👁️👄👁️
Blaine : Sebastian thinks hes making a difference in the world because he's an environment lawyer
Sebastian: I am, I do. I make a difference you sing showtunes with strained vocals for washed up queers who peaked in highschool.
Their new friend Kurt : 👁️👄👁️
The character Blaine and my reading of him has always been very personal, when I first finished glee and compared him to the Blaine in my life I understood him very well. He was a textbook narcissist. The behaviour lined up like word for word. And through out the series if he's looked at through this lense he's one of the only consistently written characters.
A lot of us, myself included have trouble believing Kurt was so attached to this piece of shit. But after experiencing some things with my real life Blaines I began to have some empathy for how difficult it can be to let go of some people, no matter how much they hurt you. So I feel the need to try explain Kurts attachment to Blaine, not romanticize but explain why it exists.
Childhood attachment/First love: Kurt meets him relatively young, he looks up to Blaine, grows up with him, Blaine is the first person he dates and they get through some very dark times in Kurts life together, no matter how much growth occurs in Kurts life he can't shake off the initial gratitude, hero worship
Sunk cost fallacy: The strange feeling of not wanting to feel like an idiot or a loser for having a made a bad decision that has already taken too much of your time, so you rationalize that if you see it through it will be worth it because you've put too much of yourself in it, it being a relationship or a person. It's feels like too much effort to start over anew. To learn a new person or to heal when you've learned the motions of the status quo. So maybe it hurts when Blaine yells about unreasonable things but he's learned to yell back and hold his ground.
Trauma bonding : Feeling connected to an abuser because of various manipulation tactics they use to control you like love bombing, withholding affection( fratboiphysicals), guilt tripping ( I needed you and you weren't there), gaslighting etc. It's very hard to cope with the knowledge that someone you love is just using you for their ego so we don't. We pretend we are loved, that what we have is unconventional but special. When someone is constantly being hostile the bar lowers itself and we live on the crumbs of their affection, it feels special, and because the abuser never reassures you you have a definite place in their world you have to fight for their attention and fight you will.
External pressure : Narcissists have a way of perfecting surface level charm to get everyone in their pocket until you no longer have anyone in their corner and they have everyone telling you how great they are. Eg: the proposal scene, santana sabotaging kadam and the rant, Sue(?)
Isolation : They find whatever way to make sure you have less and less friends to make it easier for them to gaslight you, so only their opinion matters and you can't fact check with a sane person. Eg: the Elliot incident, the Chandler incident.
Gaslighting : Abusers change the narrative to fit their needs with such blinding confidence that you think you're the problem eg: late s6 Kurt.
Finally graduated high school and now glee's making me nostalgic for theatre club and the overly dramatic, highly entertaining and stressful phenomena that is teen gay rivalry
Back when I binged glee in covid I used to bother my then friend, now ex about all my glee opinions and stuff and we somehow made this running joke that sebastian was a brown boy because why else would someone have so little chill about a school extracurricular right?
It started as a joke, and it's little more than crack even now but the thought of a biracial seb (sebu as we called him) is still funny and it endeared him to me. Through him we'd go on to make fantastical stories about the universe in which he was half brown. I don't know if I need to mention I'm brown too but yeah
The lore went as follows Sebastian's father Arshad Smythe was a second generation south asian immigrant who studied law in France where he met Mrs. Smythe.
we made him the most run of the mill brown dad imaginable and we loved him so much because of it , he was obviously just based on our fathers and uncles and brothers. The people we loved, who loved us in return, the people whose dad jokes and overbearing old timer antics we rolled our eyes at.
Mr and Mrs Smythe alternated living between France and Ohio, where Mr. Smythes childhood home was. It was a dilapidated suburban duplex complete with ugly beige carpeting. But Mr. Smythe just couldn't bear to part with it so he never sold the house or moved out. He would buy his son the best cars and enroll him in the best schools. He'd spend on everything else but he just couldn't change anything about the house his mother had lived in.
Sebastian and his mother understood. She had been important to them too. Samantha Smythe remembered all the times she sat on the floor of this house so the older woman could rub coconut oil into her hair. Sebastian remembered the spicy pickles she cooked in her kitchen, how good they tasted. So they understood.
Burt Hummel was an old friend of Mr. Smythes. He'd babysit Sebastian every once in a while, Santana too. So Kurt, Sebastian and Santana were all friends that got upto fun shenanigans in this world.
Sebastian had a cat called Maribelle, who scratched and bit everyone except for their trio and Mr. Smythe, she was also a mafia boss and an interdimensional/ divine immortal being who had a life of crime on the weekends. He had found her as a stray and begged his dad to let him keep keep her. He did albeit begrudgingly as all dads do, and then quickly became best friends with her as all dads do. I drew cartoons of Kurt and Sebastian as preteens chilling on beach chairs with sunglasses on, in the front yard of Sebastian's grandma's house. Mr Smythe , a portly gentleman with a half bald head with borders of dark hair lining the sides, wearing thick framed glasses would yell at them about their homework to which they'd reply "It's Sunbathe Saturday, Dad!"
Mr Smythe would then grumble and pick up Maribelle who had been in the process of burying a man, unbeknownst to him.
We had so many really specific just brown people things jokes about Sebastian, like him putting 'manja', a type of liquid glass used in competitive kite racing in South Asia in the rock salt slushie. Just him in general being really excited about sharp drinks after his brown cousin back in his home country show him the ropes.
Him being the kind of typical annoying uncultured highschool boy, ' kamla', who hung around coffee shops all day.
Him challenging his father to a game of cards at age eleven by making Mr. Smythe promise if he won he would have to love him unconditionally. Just as he pulled out the last ace he yelled out 'I'm gay but you love unconditionally no take backs!" And ran up the stairs yelling "no take backs!" As santana and kurt blocked mr smythes entrance to the stairway by popping ill timed party poppers.
If Seb ever got into any scuffles with them during play time he'd fire off a flurry of mixed French and Bengali curse causing Kurtana to exchange confused glances like, did you get any of that ?
His early s3 backstory was literally Mr Smythe being a little bit of a tiger parent. But then when he breaks down because of the Dave thing his dad makes amends saying "I want you to be the best at everything seb, and that includes being a person."
The scandals fix it in this universe was Maribelle scratching Blaines eyes out when she overhears about it from kurt and seb discussing it.
I figured later that Mr Smythe must have taken his wife's name because it's hardly a brown name even in Christian circles, to which my ex had replied you only realised now?
There's really no words in English to properly translate the jokes and their cultural significance to us. Parts of brown seb universe bled into my shitposts and fics but I could never part with him fully. Because the world wasn't ready for or interested in him. Since then I've graduated college, I've lost access to the Instagram account we used to text about this world in, and I've lost my ex and I've lost that time in my life, Brown Seb only exists in my memory now. So now maybe it's time to give him to the world so he exists outside of it too. Idk if there are Desi gleeks out there who get the jokes, but til then this post is just for me to remember
none of you know glees on my way was my redemption arc in covhdy
My dad wants me to animate Mr. Schue from Glee as a furry - specifically when he is performing bust a move. Should I do it for the memes? and should I keep all the cursed dances in?
I redid my Sue Sylvester design!!!
Old design
New design
"And thats how Sue... sees it!"
Going through a Glee phase and this has got to be the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen oml 🤣
Saw this and had to steal it for my own fandom lol
Long shot I know but.
does anyone have a copy of the fanfic that was Rachel and Kurt moving to New York. it was written I'm guessing at the end of season 1 and had Rachel at Juliard and Kurt at Parsons I think. They lived together in this apartment and didn't really get on at first and ended up linking each other? I can't remember loads of details of it but it was really good. Thanks in advance :)
