This crooked posture is all you've ever known

(Alastair fict)

TW= Aludes to effects of Alcohol. Emotional manipulation. Overall bad parenting

It had only been a simple letter. A small act of rebellion against everything that had been going on in his life. Lack of impulse prompted to find the carefully hidden adress hed stored away in his room. Mindless curiosity inspired Alastsir to write the first few words. The more he wrote, the more it took his mind of the dread that seemed to want to swallow him whole these days. There was no need to focus on the present while he wrote. On the impending doom that symbolized the start of his second year at the academy, of the person he had to go back to being in just a few weeks. There wasnt space for such worries while he decided the correct usage of words he had learnt only in reading.

For the first time, he was feeling motivated. Alastair was surprised that this single letter began to make the smallest spark of his old self come alive. He used to love learning, and frankly he had never stopped. He quoted books that sat on his desk on his writting, felt acient interest spark again. As if he were the boy who got scolded for staying up reading books hed end up falling asleep on. But the boy he was learned because he was truly curious of the world around him. Alastair wasnt that boy anymore, and he didnt feel inclined to learn anything else about the world he had met outside his families walls.

But for only a moment, it was him and his words, and Alastair was able to feel a ghost of who he used to be. For just a moment, for just a second. He wanted to hold on, more than anything Alastair wanted to hold on to that small spark. The small prove that he was still here. Even if hed never be the same he just wanted to feel something of himself rather than the person he was forced to become.

It had been one letter, it had been one mistake. It had been one second where he let down his guard and the next thing he knew everything crashed down.

He usually would have been able to catch his steps from the hallway, but Alastair had been so lost in his own world he didnt realize until he felt his presence in the room. Now he cursed his stupidity. He dropped the pen and quickly tried to fold whatever he had been writting. Alastair turned to face the man before him before he even called his name.

"Alastair" his father chided in a low voice holding his lantern closer to his face "Its late, what are you still doing awake?"

"I wasnt aware how late it was" he said trying to keep all emotion out of his voice

"You've been up here all day and it did not face you the sun has long from set?" He moved closer "Seriously Alastair do you take me for a fool?"

Alastair retreated backward "I do not"

"Certainly you do, you tell me blatant lies and expect me to believe you. I could see your candle from the hallway. Why is it lit?"

"I needed light" he said slowly

"And for what would you have needed light if you werent doing anything?" Elias dictated, seemingly pleased to have caught him in something "I will not ask you again Esfandiyār what were you doing?"

Alastair stayed quiet. He could see his fathers face harden in candle light

"I did not raise you to be dishonest"

You did not raise me at all, he thought bitting back his tongue "I'm not being dishonest"

"What is in your hand then?" His father mandated, tearing his gaze from him to the desk "If you are certain in your honesty why hide things from your father"

Alastair wrapped his hand harden around the paper, he almost wanted to laugh at the small part of himself that felt bad for was ruining his writting "It is nothing important"

"What is in your hand" Elias repeated, his voice more forceful this time

Alastair knew he had no way of getting out of this, if he kept refusing the consequences would be worse. He looked at the floor "Its a letter"

"A letter" he sounded incredulous "Is this what you are creating such a fuss about? A letter?"

Elias extended his hand "Let me take a look at what is so special about this letter then. Since you'll go through such lengths to hide"

Alastair could feel his heart drop as he looked at his fathers expectant eyes "Go on"

With shaky hands he dropped the letter at his fathers palm "Honestly Esfandiyār all this because of a letter, who are you writting to? Your friends back at the academy?"

He could barely hear Elias voice through the pounding in his heart. Why had he been so stupid? Why did he forget to simply close the door. He should have closed it, if he had done that stupid little task he wouldnt be here. It was only one mistake it was only-

"Who was this letter for" Elias asked "I dont see any name"

That was because Alastair hadnt written one, he wasnt sure wether he was going to send the letter or not. He was suddenly hyperaware of the adress sitting underneath a book in his desk.

Elias sighted "You are just like your mother, so sentimental. I cannot believe I am wasting time on this nonesense" he ran his hand through his hair "I will give you one last chance, who were you writting to? And dont you dare say no one"

Even thought he was still a considerable distance from him, Alastair could still smell the alcohol in his breath. He seemed sober enough to still be able to have rational conversations, but there was no mistaking he had been drinking. He was always drinking. The same way he had when Alastair had been able to become aquitanced to the person he had considered writting to. Once he left Cordelia with their father at the herondales anniversary party, the last thing he had expected was to find himself at the company of Charles Fairchild. He had gone to get some air outside the institute, and Charles just happened to be there, leaning against one of the statues at the entrance with a drink in hand.

"Awful party " He had said "I dont understand why my aunt and uncle keep endlessly throwing these social events, as if we were mundanes"

Alastair didnt have enough strength to do anything but agree. Vaguely, he remembered what he had told Cordelia "Im here to impress everyone who is anyone"

Charles Fairchild was certainly someone. He was the consuls son, probably in line to become the next consul himself. He had heard rumors about him at school, ambitious charismatic. Hes also incredibly handsome a little voice in his mind said. He shook his head, he was here to make connection, and this might be one of the most powerful ones he could make.

Alastair fell into an easy conversation with the other man about various subjects. It surprised him how easily he could put down things just a few months ago he had valued so greatly, Alastair guessed it would only become easier with time. Charles said he was impressed by his maturity, complemented him on his intelect for politics. Alastair still remembered the smile Charles gave him when he said he hadnt hadnt enjoyed talking to someone in so long. He desperatly tried to push down the feelings that smiled brought, they were yet again something the world fobid him from having. But wasnt he used to the world taking things away?

At the end Charles gave him an adress, said if he wanted to continue to speak about politics he could send a letter. He had kept that adress for days, until today. Where he started writting about a book Charles recommended on political theory, and he lost all sense and thought about contacting him.

"You were right" Alastair settled on saying "I was writting to a friend from the academy"

"Wouldnt that have been so much easier to say at first before wasting both our time" his father taunted "But no, like always everything has to be difficult with you"

"What boy were you writting to?"

"Augustu Pounceby" he lied

"Alright" Elias said "Then lets see what you were writting to him about, since you have decided keeping your words to a friend secret were so much more important than being honest"

Before he could protest his father shoot up the letter and pressed the lantern in his hand towards it. For a few excruciating moment he waited,fearing his father would see through his facade and realize he wasnt writting to a friend. That somehow hed realize his words werent meant for someone you trusted, but someone he hoped to impress. Someone he hoped would grow to become more than acquitance.

"Politics" his father spit out, breaking the silence "You are writting to a friend about politics"

Alastair stayed quiet again, trying to not let his face betray any feeling

"Me and your mother sacrifice ourselves so you can get an education to become a good warrior" Elias continued, with barely contained anger "And you decide to waste it on politics"

"Is this what the academy teaches you? To ignore your mandate and pursue idiotic work?"

He tried to counter him "Im not pursuing anything-"

"Oh but thats not what you said here. Here you say that "Politics have always been an interest of mine" His father stood closer now "What is it going to be Alastair. Who are you lying to your friend or I?"

"An interest doesnt mean I'm pursuing anything father" he tried to not to betray his feelings, if he even showed an ounce of a disrespectful tone it would not go well for him "I'm only fourteen there is nothing for me to pursue"

"But thats how it starts" his father countered "Are you that stupid? Think you can change the world? You are right about one thing Alastair you are fourteen and you dont know anything about real life. I am not going to let you stand by while your stupidity destroys the life of our entire family" Elias rolled his eyes "Sometimes I wonder if we sent the wrong brat to the academy"

"What" he whispered

"If this is what results of your education, is it even worth it keeping you there. Cordelia would benefit so much more of the academies training. What if I just send her instead of you, I need at least one of you to not be a complete dissapointment"

Alastair could feel his hand shake. He tried to take a deep breath but it was as if he had forgotten how to breathe

"Shes a warrior, and you have proven to me time and time again youre not" he stated furiously

"Dont" he said in near panick, he was alright with his father insulting him, he was alright taking on every miserable thing this world have to offer. But the thought of Cordelia in the academy. The thought of her going through even half of what he went through because of their father brought ice to his veins. It made him drop all composture "Do not send Cordelia"

"Are you afraid she'll be able to do what you could not?" His father asked, the smell of alcohol in his breath making Alastair naseous

"I'll work harder" he pleaded, hating how desperate he sounded "I'll forget this nonesense and work harder than any of the kids there. I'll become the best fighter you've seen. Just please dont send Cordelia"

His father considered him for a moment. He knew Elias thought he did this out of jelousy, but it didnt matter to him. His only thought was his sister, being in a place he could not protect her from.

"If what you say is the truth" his father finally said, his voice was calm but Alastair could hear the venom underneath his every word "then burn this letter now, and do not let me catch you lying to me again Esfandiyār"

Elias handed him back the letter and stepped out of his room, closing the door on his way out. The boy he used to be would have been upset. Deep within him he felt the pain his fathers words had brought. But the boy he used to be was gone, and the boy who now was was numb.

He burned the letter

hiya love! ya girl is back with (almost) a wholeass album as promised <3 (apologies for the lack of songs recently)

anyway yeah so firstly im still offended that glee never did an abba tribute episode (it could've been mamma mia themed or sth like,,, imagine the amount of fun n chaos,,,,,) and also the abba gold greatest hits album (I guess its the shorter version?) is a massive throwback for me bc its one of the cds we had at home that I listened to the most when I was small! so im just gonna run through most (if not all) of the songs and spitball some glee covers :)

I tried putting one of those 'keep reading' breaks bc this got long but idk if it works in asks so... apologies if it doesn't ://

dancing queen: I mean,,, zero complaints about the sancedes version we got,, though I think Quinn would've been a nice addition! either way, truly a banger (I have a weirdly distinct memory of my mom and brother dancing to this and trying to get me to join in... so it makes me very nostalgic to hear this song lol)

knowing me, knowing you: one of my faves in this album! (ofc I'd love the angsty break-up song,,, typical md content lmao but I will 100% belt along to it) and listen,,, this gives me that klaine engagement break up energy? but also I just want santana to sing it so like,, brittana break-up song? (sneak in that vb au karaoke bar santana content here asdkfjsd)

take a chance on me: ok maybe this just popped into my head bc I literally just watched silly love songs but,,,, Britt, Tina, artie n mike performance?? I think it would be cute?

mamma mia: ik they covered it in like.. s4? the guilty pleasures ep, right? but I love the og cast so I just have to include it.... tbh I get that whole Rachel dealing with the whole fuinn thing in s2 energy.... maybe even a faberry duet, since they both had messy relationships with finn that season and bc we deserved more of them singing together?

lay all your love on me: hmmmm I don't listen to this one much but I remember it from the mamma mia movie and I get finchel vibes from that

super trouper: adlsfjhlskd im pretty sure this is in my uht playlist,,, lil acapella/harmonizing moments for them n Quinn's voice really fits the soothing vibe so she'd be singing the lead... or! omg kuinn duet??? or Kurt joining the uht for this n then him and santana supplying those low notes in the chorus???

I have a dream: idk prolly a Rachel song? but I'd give it to Tina bc she was robbed of good, uninterrupted solos (and I like her more than Rachel whoops) like? give tina that true colours moment again! rest of the glee club joining in softly but tina still singing lead the entire time! its what she deserves!!

the winner takes it all: ngl sue's version always sends me (when she whispers buttchin,,,, top notch stuff,,,) but I almost never hear it and I love this song sm (look, its another md certified angsty break-up song!!) so I may be biased but id give it to santana,,,,, imagine her belting it out alone on stage (same energy as make no mistake (she's mine) methinks???? or vb au hsfdjfn no thoughts only vb au)

money, money, money: it was never one of my faves despite the fact that it slaps, which is super weird... but the first person that popped into my brain was Kurt and ugh imagine that,,, the attitude, the sass, the intricate fancy dream sequence where he's dressed all lavishly, Mercedes n tina looking expensive while sprawled on lovely couches next to him,,,,, art prompt right there,,,,

sos: this one grew on me over the years (shocker... angsty break up song.....) but yes anyway maybe Quinn energy? like mid s1 when she was struggling with the whole 'finn or puck' thing? guilt over messing up what she had with finn? idk

chiquitita: ok literally this is in my uht playlist for the same reason as even angels! both super pretty n soothing n just overall I need more of the uht girls supporting each other! (tho this would also be a pretty Kurt/kuinn song now that im thinking of it so... vb au karaoke bar Kurt solo but glee verse uht song?) also in general this has been one of my long-time faves

fernando: oh this one is gorgeous... listen this is 100% a quinntinacedes song I dont make the rules here (add in artie for the lower/male vocals in the chorus bc he's besties with all of them!)

voulez-vous: i think I put this in my uht playlist bc its such a bop? dancey dance performance? ridiculously overproduced number/dream sequence with the cheerios/a flashmob?? lowkey thinking of the barbra streisand flashmob thing they did in born this way but put the uht and maybe kurtinacedes in the lead instead (ft mike's sick moves, maybe even matt if u set it in s1 for ur rutherchang content)

gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight): this slaps so hard,,, it's gotta be a sancedes song,,,, maybe santinacedes (and Kurt?) for that extra punch,,, another overproduced number right here for these queens they would have so much fun!!

does your mother know: aksdhfl another banger,,,,, ok this is also making me think s2 artittany-tike,,, pls this would be so playful and cute,,,,, (but also vb au finntana dragging Kurt into singing it with them,,,)

one of us: 100% a Rachel/finchel song..... need I say more...

the name of the game: adlsfhlkadshjfl I love this one so much!! the pining, the whole 'nervous crush' energy, the bashfulness, truly representative of the md experience!! its in my santana playlist bc it makes me think of early brittana, with santana knowing she's falling for Britt but not knowing if it's mutual! wonderful for vb au karaoke bar lmao but its also just a solid representation of early vb au brittana... I could gush for ages what it is so adorable n soothing for....

thank you for the music: literally such a Rachel song? Rachel alone in the spotlight next to a piano, probably glee competition energy or sth idk... then the chorus hits and the curtain rises n suddenly the rest of nd is there too?

waterloo: I don't think glee covered this and that's wild to me bc its so iconic?? they would be having a time goofing around on stage and stuff!!! like this is 100% one of those nd performances at the end of an episode, maybe artinacedes or rachcedes or sth singing lead for the verses but everyone vibing n having so much fun

anyway... I didn't actually expect to include the whole album but I also just sat here and listened to every single song without skipping to write all of this so... I guess the entire album is going in the md playlist? which is totally fine with me considering the nostalgia n stuff...... I hope u enjoy the lil listening party!! and I believe we've passed the 100 song mark with this!

n with that I shall go eat some food and go to sleep... wishing u a great day and sending u lots of love as always <3 (am on laptop so emojis are hard but im blowing u some kisses)

ps: I wrote short blurbs for each but if u want more detailed md visions for a specific song pls lmk! n some of these are def good art prompts for me so if u wanna see one happen... just say the word and im on it <3

hello loveliest 🥰🥰!!

was super excited when i saw how long this ask was bc i love your brain n all your thoughts <3 (also i don’t think read more works in asks themselves so ill just tag this as long post if ppl have that filtered skshsj)

had a fantastic lil time listening to this compilation album after work!!!! (n i am sorry i am only getting to answering this late at night !!)

but as someone who has unacceptably not listened to enough abba! very much appreciate u giving me that push bc these r all bops !!!! having the time of my life !! (and also… just in time for their comeback!!)

but i think that’s smth i’ve seen a few ppl voice & like absolutely… an abba tribute just would’ve bopped… truly deserved

just going to report to you my favorites on first listen: knowing me knowing you, mamma mia, sos, & one of us ! but fully enjoyed the whole listen thank u abba legends

and ofc loved imagining nd singing along to these tunes while listening 🥰

knowing me, knowing you’s lyrics defff give klaine breakup that fits so well… but also… vb au brittana hand them over 🤲

i like i have a dream for tina too <3 she has a song to sing!!! so let her sing it!!!

yes kurt deserves to PERFORM to money money money

thank u for the rutherchang drop w voulez-vous sajhs <3 it would bop so hard give me the flash mob!

the name of the game as early brittana is so cute i may melt 🥺💖💗💞 so so soft…

thank you for the music? absolutely perfect for rachel an immediate add into her playlist… drop her in the auditorium she will sing the hell out of this song… and yes w the curtain rising!!!

and yes ofc to waterloo bc i love a good happy nd having fun group number to fill me with joy 🥰

also love the uht ones… mostly i think we deserved to see them in some 70s/80s outfits like imagine them in some cute lil coordinated outfits that weren’t just their uniforms… deserved i think…!!!

anyway!!! a fun lil abba friday for me!!! thank u very much for the experience <3 💖💖💞💗💕💗💞💖

Thoughts on areas like the Soul Sanctum, Deepnest, or the Mantis's area?

(My brain doesn't wish to cooperate with the name)

you’re going to get all three because two of those areas are faves of mine and the last one has one of my fave boss fights :3c

[i don’t have the wiki pulled up or anything so obligatory disclaimer that i might misremember some things. also, im gonna throw all of this under the cut because this is going to be more of a stream of consciousness than an actually coherent thing]

SOUL SANCTUM

let’s just get this out of the way first - love love love love love the music holy shit. it’s not something i’d listen to when i want to chill out, but oooohhhhh those organs. and when the whispers are in there too?? and “Mage Under Glass” with the laughter??? yesss

Anyway. In general, I’m a sucker for unethical laboratories in stories and games. There’s so much potential for fucked up and creative ideas within canon and in the fan characters/interpretations (I’m looking at you, Fraught. i love you, you fucked up spider <3).

How do you get soul? you harvest it. and you get on the king’s bad side in the process of course. and the watcher’s too, im sure. lurien’s like, ‘hey wtf those bugs are citizens under my watch. stop it’ and ‘well fuck you, im gonna point my telescope right into your office window, you soul bastard. i can read all the notes on your fucked up experiments now. whatcha gonna do now?’

How unethical were the experiments before the radiance’s insidious presence became a factor? Even if the Sanctum started as a safe place of learning, I think it wouldn’t have taken long for at least some of the bugs to start doing questionable things. Not everyone needs a moth to nudge them to cross the ethics line. But when the soul master changed course, set the scholars to study immortality, what did they focus on? improving the body so it won’t slow and cease its function as time passes? prolonging the stability of the mind so age doesn’t corrupt memories or cognition? focusing on a bug’s own soul to do something that way? any combination of this could fuck up the stability of the mind and/or body of the subjects. That’s where we get the mistakes/follies, right? too much soul for some that cause melting pretty quickly. for others that don’t have a negative reaction right away, maybe a dependency on soul is built up and must be maintained to stave off negative effects of withdrawal, then of course there’s a shortage. you can’t harvest bodies forever. maybe the souls of the infected bugs aren’t viable, maybe the infection taints them, spreads the infection to whatever bug absorbs it. there are options here.

There’s also the soul warriors. They have dream dialogue where they say something about not remembering how they have these moves or how to fight or something like that, right? so what if those bugs had souls of trained fighters like city sentries implanted in them? they suddenly have new instincts for situations that they themselves didn’t experience or train for. i kinda get neuromod vibes from this concept (from the game Prey).

Also, the parallels between the soul master and the pale king are neat. they both have corpse pits. they both think they’re hot shit (and to be fair, they are both powerful even if they’re in different leagues). the radiance directly fucks with both of them. neither of them admit defeat in their final dream nail dialogue. (iirc, arty-cakes has made a similar observation about the parallels, but i noticed this long before they made their post. still, it’s a good observation)

uhhh okay i’ll stop there for the Sanctum

DEEPNEST

...skitter skitter skitter skitter...

i feel so sorry for anyone who has arachnophobia and couldn’t enjoy the game because of this area. that sucks. this is one of my fave areas specifically because of the skitters and clicks and snaps and wibbly music/sound effects that occasionally made my skin crawl.

im a fan of spiders and centipedes, and deepnest delivered!

i have a lot of headcanon stuff for deepnest society and beasts that has little to do with the game or established lore, so i’ll leave that for another time. But for more game-related stuff, let’s see...

i think nosks and corpse creepers and grub mimics, if not different life stages of the same species, are at least related. like how wild cats and cheetahs and panthers are related but not the same. nosks have the most developed shape shifting capabilities, and they have a sort of pocket dimension that they can fold their body into so they can fit into smaller disguises (how else do you explain how large the infected nosk actually is compared to the much smaller knight that it ran around as to lure the player in? magical dimension powers is what i’ve decided)

the weaver’s den showed much more development of architecture. more metal and arches and stuff. i can’t recall to what extent the basic shapes and materials reflect parts of hallownest, but i think that place was a more recent development compared to the rest of the Beasts’ infrastructure.

PK reeeaaallllyyyyy wanted to get a tram all the way across deepnest, didn’t he? we get one tram to the eastern edge which conveniently takes riders to the ancient basin below where most of hallownest’s citizens are. but then the failed tramway that heads for the distant village. could it have been one of the lesser conditions of herrah’s and pk’s agreement? but herrah would be asleep so she wouldn’t need the tram to visit the palace or have hornet visit her. but why else would a tram be intended to cross to there? idk that one doesn’t make much sense to me. maybe i’m forgetting a detail, but whatever.

deepnest is a horrible maze that i will continue to get lost in.

[bonus - okay i’ll share this: one of the made-up swears i use for my beast character is “writhing mass” in reference to the skittering, scuttling pit of writhing things found as an area hazard in lieu of acid. like “bloody hell” or something haha. also it’s just fun to say.]

MANTIS VILLAGE

Alas, i don’t spend a whole lot of time in this area. I think the mantids are cool and honorable, and i apologize for my weaverlings attacking friendly mantids, but sometimes a little deepnest should be allowed to cause mayhem in the mantis village, okay?

mantis lords/sisters of battle are great boss fights. the choreography and smoothness and reflexes and aaaahhhh yeah

i seriously wonder what’s up with all the giant spikes though. like. not even deepnest has giga-spikes like that. ......actually. i wonder if those spikes are there in case the beasts overrun the village. they’d certainly be painful obstacles to beasts trying to climb out of the village and into the fungal wastes.

I think it would’ve been cool if there had been some bit of dialogue or a lore tablet that hinted at the mantis traitors. i know there’s the broken throne, but i didn’t notice that; it was pointed out to me after i’d already played once or twice through the game. don’t get me wrong- it’s a cool little thing to look back on and be like ‘i see what you did there’. environmental storytelling or whatever. but i’d like a little more anyway.

i wonder how the fungal folk feel about the mantids. i imagine they occupy their own sections of the fungal wastes and just mutually don’t bother each other. i wonder how diplomacy would work between a mantis of individual mind and a mushroom of shared consciousness? they make a nice contrast in a sharp and cutting/soft and bludgeoning way as well as a swift and silent/energetic and noisy way with how they attack and stuff.

okay that’s it. thanks for asking! if you read all of that, have a cookie

#alskdflasf maybe this is why i shouldn't make posts with takes #i just ramble instead of having cohesive ideas #still! this was fun to ramble about!#thanks for sending the ask!#rambling #flame answers #even though i feel like i asked a lot of my own questions too haha #alistairillustrates #the pale king #the radiance #soul sanctum #soul master

Glee Rant: Marley getting suspended 5x04

I’m rewatching glee and Malrey getting suspended for not wearing her costume has always bugged me. But I just saw the episodes Katy or Gaga and The end of Twerk in a row and it created a clear picture of the double standard of William ‘creepy man’ Schuester. I mean there are a lot of problems with The end of Twerk, and Mr Schue’s behaviour in that but Im putting that aside for now because I want to talk about two specific scenes:

What Marley says, in my opinion, is completely fine and kind of reflects some of the values of glee club. A lot of the times the show has mentioned and doubled down on the fact that these kids are outsiders, even going as far as to perform a song called ‘The Outcasts’ written by Marley in one of the episodes. The fact that Mr Schue can't put aside his annoyance or agenda for the week to pay tribute to the idea that its ok to be yourself and only do what your comfortable with shows how close minded and inconsiderate he is (it could also be down to bad writing and tbh it most likely is but I'm just gonna take the show and its characters for how they're written). Also, I feel he could have instead reprimanded her and took her to the side and asked if she was ok or something. Like, this girl has bulimia and you're surprised and angry that she doesn't want to get on stage in a shell bikini in front of a room of people?

Anyway, at the end of the next episode they are talking about twerking and how its just ‘not 100 percent their style’. And near the end of the scene Artie says (sorry I couldn't find a gif so Im just explaining it) “we are who were are. No apologies necessary” and I realised id heard something like that in the last episode. So, like the detective I am, I rewatched the scene where Marley gets suspended, and as you can see from above Marley is saying something pretty similar. And in fact she does apologise for just being who she is and standing up for what shes comfortable with and she gets shunned for it. Whereas in the next episode, Mr Schue stands behind Artie and doesn't seem to have any problems with it then.

Sorry this is so long btw, this is the last paragraph I promise. So basically, when Mr Schue has gone against his own agenda (twerking) in one episode, its totally fine when someone else speaks out about it, because they are agreeing with him and his actions. Whereas, in another episode where someone goes against his agenda (watching minors perform musical numbers in skimpy, revealing clothing, otherwise known as ‘stepping outside of their comfort zones’) without him going against it first, theyre wrong and getting suspended. Even when all that student is doing is refusing to be almost topless on stage when she is in therapy for bulimia.

So in conclusion Mr Schue is a dick.

Thankyou for reading my essay. or anger fuelled rant. call it what you want. goodbye.

Part 3 to all the boys I've loved before

After school Thomas just apologizes endlessly for kissing him and that it was only to get his family to leave him alone and stop babying him

Thomas is so apologetic Alastair really has to laugh

Thomas goes on a rant explaining that if he doesnt want to be associated with people like "him" he can throw Thomas under the bus and just claim Thomas was crazy with grieve or anything he wanted

At this point Alastair stops him and tells him hes forgiven and that there is no need to throw him under the bus if he is "part of the "people like him"

Thomas is to stunned to actually to stunned to believe Alastairs actually gay cause hes a gay mess

Anyways Alastair offers to buy them dinner since theyre already in a dinner to get to sort of catchup, admitting he remembered Thomas from their middle school years

"I always wondered what could have happened to you"

Thomas is in full gay panic at this point crush remembers you AND says hes gay???AT THE SAME TIME??

They have a nice chat, one of the most genuine ones Thomas has had after Barbaras death. Its nice to finally talk to someone without having to hear the pity in their voice

They talk for hours, about anything and everything

Movies, books, etc.

They ALMOST close down the restaurant

By the end of it they part, and Thomas thinks thatd be the end of it

He was wrong

A few weeks after that dinner Charles get endlessly pushy about getting back together

Alastair cant find a way to show him he cant and that he doesnt want to

And then suddenly Thomas comes into his head, and an insane plan hatches on his mind

A plan that might be crazy enough to work

He courners Thomas at lunch and asks to talk to him alone

Long story short after Thomas gay panicking again cause "Alastairs touchong my arm I-" heres the thing

Alastair tells him he has an ex (will not specify more) that he cant seem to get to leave him alone, he has an overbearing family that thinks hes dating him (Thomas denies it but Alastair knows the looks hes been getting from anna)

He sujest they merely use this to their advantage, and fake date for a while. Enough for Thomas family to finally believe hes trully healing and sto being overbearing

And for Alastairs mysterious ex to believe Alastairs moving on

Thomas could think of a thousand ways it could go wrong

How this was the recepy for disaster

But he had enough mourning caseroles in his fridge

"Its on Carstairs, but were gonna need some rules"

ANYWAYS I AM GIVING YOU AN ENTIRE BASIS PLS I THINK YOU BROKE ME ARTIE

THANK YOU ZIA THIS IS AMAZING

IM SORRY FOR BREAKING U I DIDNT MEAN TO WOULD IT MAKE IT UP TO U IF I TRIED TO WRITE THIS EVENTUALLY??
