I have Thoughts about Quinn's treatment in season 3A and the way media often portrays punk subculture
I always hate it when "dressing punk" is somehow a symbol of a character going off the rails and becoming a bad person - as if the character was once a pure, innocent lamb who lost their way and strayed to a life of immorality just because they dyed their hair. Why is the punk makeover never a sign of empowerment? A sign that a character has chosen to go against oppressive social expectations? That they are choosing themselves and their own freedom and bodily autonomy and self-confidence?
Like, most punks and goths I know are genuine, empathetic, and respectful people.
Yes, Quinn was clearly struggling with her mental health and was lost during season 3A. However, I hate the response of everyone around her being "oh my god, you died your hair pink and you're wearing black, I can't fathom anything more disappointing". After everything this girl has gone through and been told, time and time again, that she is a disappointment and "not enough", here she is doing something to give herself a sense of control and belonging and empowerment and being met with yet more puritanical bullshit.
I wish we had had more time with punk!Quinn. And, more than anything, I wish her punk era was seen as, at least in part, positive and empowering.

Unpopular Glee opinion: In season 3, they should've cast Kurt as Maria to go with Blaine's Tony.

These two could’ve had the most iconic friendship on the show, but the writers were cowards.
In this essay I will-
Look at them. Twin expressions, they are so done. What do you mean that car is too expensive for a 16 year old?? Ridiculous.
I was rewatching the S3 V-Day episode recently, and as soon as Sugar said to Rory, “Maybe my Dad can buy Ireland!” I instantly thought “peak Sebastian energy.”
“My dad is sorta what you’d call a states attorney 😌.”
Look at their sad little faces. They would absolutely have their country-club-attending parents wrapped up around their fingers with those “😟” looks. Convince me otherwise.
Performance king and queen. Everyone else go home.
Stunning. Show stopping. Sugar and Seb. The iconic duo we DESERVED.
