songs from your favourite artist (that weren't on the show) you would have loved to see, and what context would you put them in? songs from your favourite artist (that weren't on the show) you would have loved to see, and what context would you put them in?
Discussion

personally, usher is my favourite singer. he is the artist i listen to most.

maybe around season 1, I could see Finn singing "you make me wanna" to Rachel.

I could also imagine the guys singing "yeah" and/or "dj got us fallin in love again" at one of the dances/proms.







blaine cheating was not OOC blaine cheating was not OOC
Discussion

rewatching glee as an adult i thought blaine cheating was not OOC at all. it happened a little bit too quick but everything did in glee. after all blaine was the only character in the show that genuinely felt guilty and sorry for cheating AND was honest about it.

i also think that all the hardships kurt and blaine overcame after their first break up and getting back together felt like a very realistic relationship to me (minus s6). as a klaine fan the angst ruined me, but at the end of the day what they went through as a young couple is pretty relatable for a lot of watchers. not every part of a relationship sunshine and rainbows especially at their age.


With the quest stars on Glee, did you prefer them doing other songs or would you have preferred them to cover their own songs? With the quest stars on Glee, did you prefer them doing other songs or would you have preferred them to cover their own songs?

I mean like Kristin Chenoweth doing Popular, Idina Menzel doing Defying Gravity, Demi Lovato doing Give Your Heart A Break, Adam Lambert doing What Do You Want From Me and etc.

Personally I think I preferred it the way we got it, with them singing mostly other songs than the ones they're associated with in the real world so to speak. While I would have loved a Shelby and April duet of a Wicked song, I can't imagine the context for it to work. In universe it's not their song as they are a separate person from the artist but it would still feel a bit too on the nose in my opinion. What do you think?






As a trans person, I never liked trans!Beiste. As a trans person, I never liked trans!Beiste.

I took a peek and noticed that quite a few people agree with this, but I still wanted to express it in my own words.

I’ve been watching Glee since I was a baby (I’m 15, and my mom had me as a teenager, so I grew up on shows like that). Before I even realized I was trans, Shannon Beiste’s transition just didn’t make sense to me.

Previously, her character arcs revolved around insecurity but learning to love herself. The sadness she felt as a woman came from other people’s preconceived notions of what a woman should be like. She always felt like a lady, she loved being a lady—her issue was how other people treated her.

It’s evident that the writer who made the decision for Beiste’s character didn’t fully understand what being transgender means. I was born female, so I’m very familiar with the assumption that AFAB trans people reject their sex due to misogyny. That’s really invalidating and hurtful, and this assumption was the only basis for Shannon’s gender identity being changed.

I used to express this to my mom, but being cis, she didn’t understand. So, until recently, I assumed most people agreed with her transition. I’m glad to see that’s not the case. I think Shannon’s femininity was beautiful, and this was not only insulting to trans people but also to "masculine" women. The women who are seen as less of a lady because of their appearance, and that’s exactly what Beiste’s character was meant to tackle in the first place.

It’s sad how obvious it was that this decision was made to earn praise from cisgender-dominated media outlets, rather than to genuinely support and represent trans people. Especially when the whole point of the show is inclusivity and embracing yourself—even if society shuns you.

So to any ladies out there feeling insecure because you don’t fit society’s idea of what a woman should look like, just know that you’re gorgeous despite all of that! MMMWAH







if current songs (2024) were featured on glee! if current songs (2024) were featured on glee!

im new to the sub so i don't know if people already posted this but i was thinking about it in the shower and in MY OPINION if current songs (mostly pop albums 2024) were featured on glee this is my take:

  1. good luck babe (chappell roan): a kurt song and they'd change the lyrics to "you can kiss a hundred girls in bars" / "when you wake up next to her in the middle of the night with your head in your hands she's nothing more than your wife", either when he had a crush on finn and thought he might be gay or when blaine thought he was bi

  2. hot to go/ femininomenon (chappell roan): 100% brittany songs with the cheerios, maybe when she was running for class president and sang who run the world OR when quinn and santana came back for season 5 or 6? i don't really remember the last seasons but they sang problem by ariana grande w the cheerleaders and that'd fit as well

  3. i think about it all the time (charli xcx): quinn when she wanted to get beth back from shelby

  4. slim pickins (sabrina carpenter): quinn when she was kinda torn between puck and finn ("if i can't have the one i love i guess it's you that i'll be kissing") OR rachel when she cheated on finn with puck ("the boy doesn't even know the difference between there, their and they are / yet he's naked in my room") but i see it more as a quinn song

  5. naked in manhattan (chappell roan): either a rachel song with brody after she's had her makeover in new york OR a song she sings with kurt, santana, dani (demi lovato) and that guy who sings marry the night (forgot his name), like they sang that one song (i also forgot which one) laying on the floor of their apartment OR a santana in nyc song

  6. guilty as sin? (taylor swift): santana/unique mashup like there are worse things i could do OR just santana cuz i love her and she could pull off anything

  7. so high school (taylor swift): quinn about finn in the same episode he sings hello i love you about her, he's not over her but she broke his trust and rachel's being annoying like always

  8. super graphic ultra modern girl (chappell roan): maybe when they sang i kissed a girl on the episode santana was forced to come out, maybe someone sang that to her when the glee club tried to make her feel ok about it, maybe when santana found out brittany was dating sam

  9. sympathy is a knife (charli xcx): rachel about quinn

  10. BRAT (charli xcx) in general: brittany songs, can't think of anyone else to do them justice

  11. espresso (sabrina carpenter): a whole number at the end of an episode, lead singers brittany and tina

  12. girl, so confusing (charli xcx): quinn and santana working it out on the remix

  13. good graces (sabrina carpenter): mercedes singing it to puck/sam/shane/whoever she was dating at the time, knowing she's a bad b*

i think that's it! i focused on the 4 albums i thought to be more popular this year but props to tinashe (nasty girl), megan thee stallion and whoever else had a hit song this year. let me know what u think!!



Sort of a Hot Take: The same way most of the fandom don't consider Unholy Trinity as a friendship, the same thing can be applied to Puck and Finn Sort of a Hot Take: The same way most of the fandom don't consider Unholy Trinity as a friendship, the same thing can be applied to Puck and Finn

As the title says, friendships between the unholy trinity and Puck and Finn are not real to me, especially Puck and Finn. I kind of always thought Puck was a very bad friend to Finn. First of all, Puck betrays Finn in so many different ways: knocks up his girlfriend, saying he doesn't give a damn about Finn when he was making out with Quinn, not once considering Finn's feelings around the whole thing, guilt-tripping him to get a job when he knows that he is not the father, trying to convince Quinn to cheat on him again, and not defending Finn when Quinn verbally hurt him. Also made fun of him when he joined glee club that he and called him a loser. paintball him. After all that nonsense, in season 2 he kisses Rachel when he knows that would deeply hurt Finn again. I don't think Puck said "I'm sorry" to Finn. Finn is a better person than me because I would never forgive Puck for all that bull.

TBH it feels like Finn was more of a friend to Puck than Puck was to Finn. Finn helps Puck to pass his geography test, always believing that Puck is going to do something great in life politely tells him to check his anger. They did have very nice moments of them together but I would figure they both would grow out of each other later in life.
