#and how i'm kinda in the position of early seasons tina which i've mentioned before

[kuiinncedes]

omg i found this extended video version of i follow rivers here and it doesn’t like cut away to the hecklers so it’s just tina (which is great obviously but) you can see that when they start to get to her she just,, stops moving, stops all the movement and expression she was putting into it at the beginning and just stands there and is barely able to finish her song. and i just remembered like,,, how performing was her way to kind of get out there and show her true self when she was too shy to do it otherwise, but then here in a performance that she clearly puts so much into (and one of her only solo performances) she’s so viciously shut down 

and i don’t think i really have a point ,,, just,, tina cohen chang deserves better

#also like if that happened to me i don't even know i would literally just stop idk #like .. *stop performing* like that seems so traumatizing #i realized just like how fuckign horrible it is bc music and performance is her passion #it's what she puts everything into versus when she's quiet and reserved #and they're basically saying no we hate it and pushing her to go back to that quiet and reserved like it's better if we don't hear you #cough silent asian / model minority stereotype cough #but the fact that she still pushes against that???? and becomes fucking confident queen tina???? #she's so fucking strong for that #bye every day i fall more in love with tina cohen chang #ok fuck seriously tho omg especially bc i've been thinking a lot recently about how asian stereotypes have affected me #and how i'm kinda in the position of early seasons tina which i've mentioned before #so like her retaliating and becoming unapologetically confident and taking what she wants??? despite everything being against her????? #everyone and everything???? #:') gonna cry #Y'ALL tina has become my fucking comfort character #ok anyway #stfu jeanne #tina cohen chang #glee #on another note i found this video for drawing purposes and it's so hd and so good i'm so glad i found it lmao
