"At least Glee gave us Brittana"

WRONG. Naya Rivera gave us Brittana, Glee never gave me anything but mental illness.

#glee #anti glee #brittana #naya didn't fight for her screen time for you to disrespect her like that #and none for heather morris because iirc she wanted bartie

Listen. If there's two things the world absolutely DOES NOT need any more of, it's Glee covers and AI generated bullshit.

#lol glee #anti glee #sent this to the bestie at 11something pm #woke up to her horrified response #what did High School Musical ever do to deserve this?

Watched a Youtube video about 10 Times Glee Handled Serious Situations Poorly and I swear, I will go to my grave screaming at people that the show that was supposed to be about bullied people NEVER handled the bullying storylines right.

They got pretty close with Kurt and Karofsky but even that was undermined, not just by making Karofsky a victim of intenalized homophobia, but by all the other bully moments that were treated as jokes or quirky side scenes to get us to the "real" focus.

#Anti Glee #Bullying in Glee was handled so poorly.#Occasionally they'd put in a little more effort #but even that effort can be forgotten #the moment they get the chance to have a 'funny' mean joke #directed to people who are always victims.#Glee's original premise was unpopular bullied victims #coming together to find a safe place and group where they could be themselves #yet it ended up with a specific set of members #bullying their so called 'friends' and then crying when the tables get turned.#They never learn their lesson #and half the time it's not even treated like they need to.

Why do people say that they are anti bully but yet their favorite characters are the biggest bullies. When the characters are bullying others ,they just call that funny. I really don’t understand this world

Why the hell does Ryan Muphy try to present Rachel Berry as a hard worker?

Glee constantly talks about how hard Rachel works but we never see that.

Whenever Rachel has real competition she either sabotages them or throws a fit until she gets her way.

Where is the hard work? To prove she's better for the part? You know actually freaking compete!

The only reason Mr Scue even gives her everything is she reminds him of his ex-wife and he's deluded himself into thinking she always has to be happy. Mr Schuster decided she’s a star without her doing anything to prove it.

And of course she’s better then everyone in Lima in terms of training most parents of the people in Her small town didn’t have millions of dollars to drop of vocal and tap dancing lessons.

Most of the other Glee kids didn't have that kind of money or resources. So of course Rachel is going to be better than almost all of the club in terms of vocal training. She’s a big fish in a small pond.

Rachel also undercut everyone's confidence and constantly took opportunities away from other kids that would have given them to chance to expand their horizons and improve. Which is why the others bearly get any better. They weren’t even allowed to grow as performers.

Whenever Rachel has real competition she either sabotages them or throws a fit until she gets her way or quits.

Where is the hard work? To prove she's better for the part? Half the time Rachel costed off mr Schusters predujists as well involving Kurt. She brags about Kurt being her biggest competition but lets be honest of course the straight girl is going to beat out the Gay kid just by virtue of being more marketible especally in a small homophobic town. So its not that impressive.

The only reason Mr Scue even gives her everything is she reminds him of his ex-wife and he's deluded himself into thinking she always has to be happy. And is his golden goose despite her doing nothing to earn that.

Rachel isn’t actually a hard worker she just had more money, oprotunties handed to her bearly had any real competition and mostly whined her way to victory. As well as controlling Glee Club with such an iron fist no one was allowed to reach her level.

#rachel berry critical #glee critical #anti rachel berry #anti ryan murphy #anti glee #no rachel didn't work for shit!#no we see her ever brush up on her stuff after rejection no!#she was spoiled her entire youth #Mercedes wasn't lazy but Rachel sure as hell was!#she wanted no competition #Rachel was bearly making it at Nyada #because she couldn't handle actual competition #the writers had to have Casandra july roll over for her!#yeah she can sing because of her vocal lessons but Rachel only did anything when she knew she'd get exactly what she wanted

So Glee made has an official Spotify Pride playlist and didn’t include Rose’s Turn, or Not the Boy Next Door, but has Lucky and Faithfully on it? Make it make sense.

Love Victor was not perfect. I stand by every word I said about it’s lack of representation of lgtbqa spectrum and it’s narrow view of the ‘right type of gay’

Heartstopper, by contrast, has the straight passing gay but also shows other characters who are not and treats them all with respect and understanding

However, Heartstopper does not touch on religion. That is something Love Victor does and does better than the shitty ‘Grilled Cheesus’ episode of Glee.

Isabel, by the way, was not a bitch in S2. She is a woman who was raised in organized religion. Organized religion teaches their members to not question any of their teachings even though the so called ‘word of God’ was written by very human and flawed men who had agendas-not just religious, but political (among other things)

For someone who was raised in such a environment I can tell you she is not a bitch. It was good to see religion and faith and homophobia addressed (even if not in depth but it would take a whole series, if not more, to address that issue/conflict in more detail)

I also appreciate that Love Victor addressed bisexuality (and did not dismiss it)

Essentially Love Victor was a mixed bag for me, but I think it was a damn sight better than Glee and in its last season and a half it was less sanitized than the movie by the hack Greg Berlanti

#love victor #heartstopper #anti glee #anti love simon #greg berlanti #he loves the straights

Remember during glee when people would buy the same song over and over to try to prove a point about loving the actor.

Like when Sam fans bought billionaire so many times because they wanted Chord Overstreet back on the show.

Somehow I feel like that money would have been better spent donating to something like the Trevor Project instead of lining someone at Fox's pocket

Thinking a little bit about that one "I'm an English major and a professional as opposed to you amateurs" anon. Gonna roast 'em a little bit, but with the intention of addressing a thing we've had in mind for a while.

Real talk, coming from someone who WAS an English major; majoring in English is not necessarily a guarantee that someone is a good writer. For one, you can be bad at your major, full stop. For another, it's not even a guarantee that someone identifies as a writer to begin with. English as a major is pretty broad, and it covers reading too, among other things. There's library science, analytical academia, historical preservation & interpretation (MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS HELL YES), editing, nonfiction trades (often crosses over with STEM majors), marketing (crosses over with business majors), and also book design and typography (<3 <3 <3 our favorite, crosses over with art majors).

Someone can major in English and take a specific minor with the goal of falling into a trade that is not writing literary fiction. In fact, we would argue that most people who get something useful out of their major are the ones that do that.

It's also worth noting that it's possible to be an English major focused on "lowbrow" fiction. There are people who major in English and use the experience towards the end of writing erotica. There are people who major in English with the intent to write genre fiction. There are people who major in English to study the history and social context of fanfiction.

These things are, in fact, worthy fields of study! The realm of the "amateur" is the realm where a lot of cultural conversations and innovations happen!

Expecting English as a major to be a tract specifically for producing acclaimed literary fictionists is not realistic, not how the discipline typically works, and it's certainly not a thing you can use to hold over other writers' heads. It is perfectly possible for people to write good things (professional-grade things even) without ever touching a college course.

I sat through so much bad writing in college. Technically bad, thematically bad, gramatically bad. And I routinely bump into non-graduate authors who write texts, formal and informal alike, that blow my own writing clean out of the water with their quality.

In short, dismissing other people in your general field as "amateurs" who are beneath you is an incredibly unprofessional thing to do.

#writeblr #basically this is an anti-elitism post #sometimes we see elitism creeping back into writeblr #and as academia enthusiasts we feel the need to respond to it by whacking it with a broom #because! if you were really dedicated to the honing and preservation of knowledge & skill! you would NOT! be! dismissing people offhand!#and you would especially not be putting them down to boost your own ego!#you would be learning from them or politely leaving them the FUCK alone to do their own thing while you focus on yours!#*general you here #i know we sound angry here but please imagine us saying all of this with wicked glee while whacking Amateur Anon with said broom #because we are saying it out of enthusiasm for the people who are making cool things around here #ourselves included because we are not allowed self-deprication anymore

Cassian strikes me as the kind of guy who would physically overpower Nesta in order to cake her face at their wedding.

#anti cassian #anti acosf #this comes from me after unfortunately stumbling across a video of a man doing this exact thing #the uncanny look of glee and annoyance when his wife stalked off was strangely familiar yet i couldnt place from where #then the unnerving smile of a certain greasy haired fictional man with a victim complex slid into the crevices of my mind #fuck you cassian your acowar counterpart would be disappointed

E/riels can play the hell out of guilty as sin? (it is a fantastic song) but they’ll never ever get this type of scene from Elain & Az 😉🙂‍↔️

Feysand:

Nessian:

Elucien, before the bond is even accepted:

Also, both mated couples describe their bond as “golden threads” and a song between their souls.

We have THIS from Elucien:

and THIS from Gwynriel:

As much as I rag on feysand & nessian, SJM clearly follows a pattern. I don’t see her straying far from it, especially not after the ACOSF bonus chapter. It’s a good song though 🙏

Do you like Glee? Well, Up Here is NOTHING LIKE IT. So if you love Glee and find it to be genuinely good, avoid Up Here like the plague. :) But if you're tired of rewatching a show loaded with wasted potential and infuriating storylines that just makes you feel dead inside, and want a new, fun musical series to get invested in, go give Up Here a whirl!

Some key differences:

Up Here's characters are full-fledged adults, not high schoolers

No covers—it's got all original music, written by the same people who did Book of Mormon and Frozen

None of the characters are aspiring singers or actors, so no annoying audition storylines; they just sing because it's a musical

The characters learn from their mistakes! And apologize! And change! And grow!

Cheating is frowned upon, and the cheating character gets no redemption

The leading man can actually fucking sing (I will not be taking death threats at this time)

The leading lady doesn't make you want to kill yourself every time she's onscreen, and is someone you can actually root for even though she's made some poor decisions

It manages to tackle some serious topics without being either preachy, dancing around the subject, or horrifically, offensively Wrong

Every single person sings WITH FEELING

Actions? Having? CONSEQUENCES???? Why, yes!!

The central romance is messy as hell without being toxic, because yes it is possible (they're also v cute)

No cheap shots at the characters' appearances to give the cast new and unnecessary insecurities

Sex positive (like for real, not just pretend)

Being a bully is depicted as a bad thing (LIKE FOR REAL, NOT JUST PRETEND)

Situations of miscommunication/lack of communication/dishonesty are resolved quickly

CONSENT

The score is instrumental, none of that a cappella Flight of the Bumblebee crap

One of these shows has a realistic or at least believable take on the rent situation in New York, and I'll let you guess which one.

Anyways, watch Up Here on Hulu! The show that leaves you feeling like you've been to therapy, instead of leaving you needing therapy. Give it more views to help us get a second season!

#by request here is my scathing Up Here/Glee comparison #I put the bullet in bullet list #lol glee #anti glee #Up Here #I have a hot take about their respective mean girl trios too but if I posted that I'd have to go into witness protection #it involved a Hairspray reference
