thanks to hugeegosorry and dorkylittleweirdo for contributing in the notes w/ the missing letters and the web archive link :-)

(im working on adding alt text to these, but for now transcriptions for the letters can be found under the cut)

Dr. Chris Taub:

I really don't want to write anything. I Have nothing to say… I'm pissed off. Why didn't you talk to me? Idiot. I miss you.

Chris Taub

Remy:

My first memory of you is when you got fired as #6. My second memory of you is when you reappeared as #9. My third is when you set that patient on fire trying to restart his heart. Later on, I was the one you confided in about your parents. About what happened to them. And I always felt there was so much more to talk about…

I wish we had more time.

Remy #13

Eric Foreman:

I wish I'd gotten there sooner

I'm sorry

E.F.

Dr. Allison Cameron:

I don't know if you knew this, but… out of all those new people, I'm pretty sure you were House's favorite.

Love

Allison Cameron

Lisa Cuddy:

I think what I remember most was your kindness. When I first adopted Rachel, a lot of people offered to come help, to babysit. But you're the only one who actually did. Nobody could make Rachel laugh like you. We'll both miss you.

Cuddy

Dr. Robert Chase:

I didn't know you that well – I guess nobody did x

Robert Chase

Dr. James Wilson:

When you gave me some of your short stories to read, I remember you practically apologized as you handed them over; that's how shy you were about sharing them. But I don't know why. They were actually pretty good.

James Wilson

You make that your home screen, you're gonna be running the Academy training course in a bomb disposal suit. I would never do that. It is now my lock screen. Listen, I wouldn't have gotten this stupid plaque if you didn't have my back today. So, you know, thanks. For what? Doing my job?

| ANATOMY OF A SCENE - CHENFORD EDITION 2.08 - Clean Cut

Going back to these early moments is always fascinating… To see how far they've come… How Tim was already struggling so much with keeping his wall, pretending to be annoyed with Lucy's antics, but failing miserably. Like when she takes advantage of the situation by taking so many pictures of him, using Rachel as an excuse to get away with it. He may try to use threats as a deterrent but his tone is much softer than usual. Even his grumpiness is quickly replaced by amusement. Especially once Lucy pulls one over him, by making him her lock screen instead of her home screen, finding a loophole. A simple way of showing how comfortable she is around him at this point. His jaw clench… His little smile, so bashful… How he's trying to hide it by lowering his head - not that he's fooling anyone. And this is a good way to get back at him for making those TShirts after he caught her sleeping during their night shift. And he knows it… Most importantly, he absolutely loves that she can give as good as she gets. That she isn't afraid of him and sees right through him. He may not be able to verbalise it but it is important to him. Just like it means a lot to him that she made sure he would get his award.

Or 'this stupid plaque' as he says… And that's truly a Tim Bradford thing, to downplay his own achievements. But this is someone who takes pride in his job, who actually probably found comfort in it when his personal life was falling apart. So for all his protests, deep down, it's clear that he is touched to receive it. Just like he is touched that Lucy fought so hard to clear his name and had his back the whole time. Again. Just like he had hers during her Plain Clothes Day for instance. And this leads us to this sweet moment between them, with Lucy repeating his own words from Redwood back to him… 'For what? Doing my job?'… This was really the moment where Tim showed her his softer side. Where he helped ground her. That was a turning point in their relationship, which makes her choice of words so meaningful. She is a quick learner. The way her eyes twinkles when she says them… Her smug smile… She is absolutely enjoying herself. But here's the thing : she did more than just her job. Again. She didn't hesitate to go toe to toe with a superior officer (again!), regardless of the consequences for her. As a rookie, her position is precarious but that has never stopped her. She has had Tim's back from the very beginning, looking out for him. This goes far beyond than merely doing her job.

Then again, those are the same idiots who practice kissing for 'work'… And who apparently have no understanding of the concept of personal space… In front of their colleagues. Like I said, going back to these early moments is always fascinating… To see how far they've come… And to see how some things haven't changed at all. How they've always used 'work' as a way to express their feelings without realising it.

Hi! Love your work, could you write a dick Grayson fanfic abt him and a quiet female reader warming up to each other (set between season 1 and 2)?

yes, of course!!!! god, i've wanted to write for titans on here so bad i just didn't have the inspo so thank you<333

—

talk to him

titans dick grayson x fem!reader

sunmary: you weren't exactly much of a people person. especially since you were 1 of 2 adults living in a huge tower in san francisco, watching over 3 kids you don't really talk to outside of training. and the only other adult being closed off so who knows what'll happen when he decides to talk to you out of no where

cw: not much, there's just some fluff with a teaspoon of angst because of communication issues (they both suck at small talk and beyond)

a/n: idc what anyone says about this show, it's given me so much comfort and a lot of fun and likable characters. so i'm so glad i can write for them as long as you guys send requests for them. as well as other characters from other shows like yellowjackets and etc. also i love dick grayson, even though he can be a bit annoying in this show (that i can admit) but he's hot so ajsjfndmfmf. also, i'm sorry it took sooooo long, writers block got to me badly these past few months, so i apologize if it's cringey and awkward. but i do give the benefit the doubt here because this story is suppose to be like that (also the fact i'm projecting my "bad at small talk" trait here). two grown adults that can't seem to have a normal conversation, like at all

masterlist

after the trigon incident you were dragged in by circumstance, you were the only other adult to volunteer to help dick with... whatever he was doing. you didn't have any life to go back to anyways, and you made a connection to everyone else so why part ways and it be unlikely to see them again. sure, you weren't particularly close with the kids, but, what are you supposed to do in order to bond with them? so that left dick in titans tower, but he wasn't as much of a talker as you outside of training.

everyday for the past few weeks have been, eat, train, sleep, repeat on a loop, no 'how was your day' questions, because the days are always the same so there wasn't any point of asking. and you could tell the kids were getting bored of it, very fast, and you could not blame them. being stuck in a repeating pattern with nothing else happening started getting old after the first couple weeks. so, you didn't really know how long it would take til something changed, it couldn't be like this forever.

during this time, you admired the grayson from afar, he was attractive, what else could you say? you weren't an idiot. and you also were aware of his previous entanglements with kory and you didn't wanna be involved in that. and, well... you felt like a teenage girl having a crush on a guy who was going through some shit, so it was better not to bother him.

and not being much of a talker doesn't make the conversation about feelings be any better. like, maybe this was attraction and nothing more? you were aware of the difference between liking someone physically and liking them emotionally (specifically in a romantic sense). but even as you admired him, you learn things about him, paying attention to the little things. deep down, he cared for other people, if he didn't, he wouldn't have taken rachel in and helped her, and he wouldn't have done the same for gar or jason either. people just have their own way of showing their love and care.

but your admiring wasn't exactly subtle. rachel had noticed it when you were looking at dick from across the room, talking with jason. the roth wasn't sugarcoating anything when it came to this, "you keep staring, you're probably gonna be capable of shooting lazers from your eyes." and you knew she was joking around but she caught you by surprise, making you face the young girl. "why is it any of your business?"

"because it's kind of sad seeing you pine for him like this." she points out, "and also, gar and jason made a bet whether or not you'd confess. we have eyes, you know?" and she lightly bumped your shoulder with hers with a smile on her face, "and i'm sure dick feels the same way, though he's not very good of showing it."

"that is ridiculous." you shake your head, "one, i don't like him. not like that. i just think he's cool."

"are you sure about that?" the roth rose her eyebrow, "talk to him." but you were not moving from where you were so rachel decided to take matters into her own hands, she then gave you a push (a literal one) towards him, and now you couldn't run away. all you could say was, "hey..."

"hey." he responded. jason just stood there awkwardly in between the two of you, "okay, well uh—" he pretends to look at a watch that's not even on his wrist, "look at the time, i must be going." and he had immediately ran out of there before dick tried to stop him. there was an silent pause and you were trying to figure out what to say, but before you could, he asks, "do you want some coffee?" all you did was nod. after that, there was even more silence, you two haven't had a conversation that wasn't training related in like, a while. it just felt like you were both strangers who didn't know each other nor were you fond of one another.

"you're just as bad at small talk as i am, huh?" you finally had spoken up. and dick just shook his head, "i don't know what you're talking about, i know how to make small talk."

"oh really?" you rose up your eyebrow, "okay mr. 'i know how to make small talk', what do you wanna talk about? and please, don't let it be training related. because if i have to hear you talk about that one more time, my head is gonna explode." you tried to look irritated, but he could notice a small smile on your face. then he immediately went into the 'deep, emotional' stuff, "you never told me why you came here. you just did, and i'm surprised you stuck around as long as you have."

you answered it anyway, because why not, "well, it's not like i have anywhere else to go." you set down your drink, making direct eye contact at him, "besides, the second i got here, and realized how big this place is and i have my own room... what, did you expect me to pass it up?" and you ended up making him laugh, which was surprising, "what is so funny, i'm just being honest." you were unsure why he was laughing, so you just took a sip of your coffee. he explained, "your honesty is refreshing, that's all."

"really?" and he nodded as a reply. you just sighed, taking your coffee and leaving. it's not like you had anything else to talk about and just sitting there would make it more awkward, so you just left. does it make it any less weird? absolutely not.

you guys didn't talk much after in the next few days, up until you decided to play hero on solo when you see a woman getting mugged by this guy in a mask. it was like one of the many movie cliches that you see brought into reality.

too bad it didn't turn out like expected, where you got shot in the leg. thankfully, the kids were able to track you down and bring you to the infirmary, gar was trying his best to patch you up and rachel was there for emotional support. as for jason... there wasn't much else he can do than just stand watch, up until dick had walked in with a worried expression, and the three teens immediately rushed out of there as soon as he walked in the room. you could've left if you wanted too but, obviously you couldn't.

"jesus fuck, you could've gotten yourself killed, what were you thinking?" all of his emotions were being let out in that moment, it was the most emotion you've seen him express towards you in like... ever. yet you couldn't help but be a bit sarcastic, "yeah, keep yelling... it's not like i'm literally a few feet away from you or whatever."

dick sat on the edge of the bed and started to explain, "sorry, it's just... when i heard what happened, i didn't know how to feel, or express it correctly." he gently set his hand on your injured leg, softly, "just if anything happened to you, i—"

"i'm tougher than you think, grayson." you reassured him, and you noticed a tiny smile creeping up on his face.

"i know it's just... i don't wanna lose anyone else."

you lean up a bit to set your hand on his shoulder, "i'm not going anywhere, dick." you then stopped for a second as you come to realize, "and we just had a conversation that didn't involve small talk. maybe i should get myself hurt more often." you were obviously joking at that last part, but dick's reaction to it was priceless, "i'm kidding. you are just... not what i expected."

"the feeling is mutual."

a part of you wanted to kiss him, that it felt right, but another part was saying how the timing of it all wasn't. and maybe these feelings you're having are actually real. because now, there was something in your heart that was growing that wasn't just admiration, and it felt weird, but a good weird.

maybe when the timing is right, they'll get to it, but until then, your growing friendship in the moment is enough for now.

If You Are The Last Man Standing

<Prev || Part 24 || Next>

~Years Later~

You: *wears a rosewood and silver wedding ring and works the wood shop connected to the Quileute community center*

Sam: *spots of grey hair, leads a tourist group* this is (Y/n), she is also a wildlife conservationist, our youngest tribal leader and she’s good with a wood saw.

You: *head nod towards Sam*

Sam: *leads the group away*

Leah: *walks in from office* I would’ve never thought Sam would lead tourist

You and Leah: *snickers*

You: it’s a good look on him, probably gives him a break from his sons

Leah: if anyone needs the break it’s Paul

You: I do not know how Rachel popped out three kids at the same time. At least Jared and Kim have one.

Leah: they’re trying again

You: I hope it’s a girl… the pack seems so much better without the Cullen’s here

Leah: everyone’s fine. Seth and the others work with Rosalie and Embry says all is well at the Makah tribe. Though Quil and Claire had a huge fight recently.

You: Yeah, he stayed at mine and Rosalie’s place last night. the girl is running him into the ground.

Leah: how is Rosalie?

You: she keeps herself busy. Running her auto-shop and being a nighttime nanny. The Cullens do a collective video call a week, it’s fun seeing those guys try to figure out how technology works. It must be weird for Bella and Edward having an ex lover pine for their daughter

Leah: yeah, but not our problem. Some higher power’s punishment for him, you know Jacob’s always going to love Bella even if he did imprint on Rensesmee.

You: *growls* don’t remind me. I can’t believe my idiot of a brother was about to hurt my wife!

Leah: okay *takes carving knife out of your hand*

You and Leah: *sits in silence*

You: who would’ve known we would be the last man standing

Leah: yeah about that… I. Well with your permission-

You: *sighs* you don’t need my permission to stop phasing Leah, I’m surprised you stayed this long

Leah: we’ll it was mainly for selfish reasons… We are suppose to be old crone buddies… and I know about your worries of seeing the pack, your family, grow older

You: *puts down your wolf carving and hugs her* you don’t have to worry about me. You deserve a life of your own and you know I’ll always be here. Plus this would be a good reason to pull the pack together!

~~~~~

You and Leah: *running Leah’s final patrol together and reaches the path towards Sam and Emily’s house*

The Pack: *stands in their ceremonial shifter capes*

Sue: *holds a ceremonial shifter cape for Leah*

Sam: *holds ceremonial beads*

Leah: ‘Thank you (Y/n)’

You: *nods*

Leah: *shifts back to human facing away from the boys*

Sue: *drapes the cape over her, in Quileute language* the ancestors, the elders, the pack and the spirits above thank you for your service in protecting the tribe

Sam: *puts beads on Leah, in Quileute language* These beads restore your cultural ties and spiritual beliefs, may the great wolf spirit forever guide and protect you.

The Pack: *wolf pack call chirps*

You: *howls and runs the patrol path to the end*

Rosalie: *walks up to you and brushes your fur with her fingers* this one is different isn’t it

You: *shifts back into her arms and cries*

~~~~~

You and Rosalie: *makes it back to Sam and Emily’s

Leah: *hands you an envelope and winks* you’ve done a lot for the tribe

You and Rosalie: *confused*

Paul: and for the pack

Embry: we wanted to make sure you could have anything you could have possibly wanted

Sam: Leah and Carlisle have been in contact

Jared: we were all in agreement

Quil: it’s a thank you gift

Seth: for you and Rosalie

You: *opens it, reads the letter from Carlisle and tears up*

Rosalie: *reads it from behind your shoulder and gasps* this will work?

Leah: you’d have to stop shifting for a bit. And your kid would hold the shifter gene. They’ll stop aging like Rensemee, they won’t be venomous and will have a human diet

Rosalie: *throws her arms around Leah* thank you! Thank you!

Paul: if there’s anyone to deserve this it’s you two. Plus we will spoil them to be like us so you won’t miss us too much

~~~~~

You: Alice, we don’t need a gender reveal!

Alice: I can’t hear you

You: Carlisle tell her we don’t need a gender reveal. Rosalie is a woman, I’m a woman. We only have X chromosomes! I don’t care that we have 24 pairs of chromosomes that doesn’t mean we carry the Y chromosome!

Rosalie: doll you need to calm down.

You: I will calm down when Alice is reined in. *whines* why aren’t you stopping her

Rosalie: sometimes you just let it happen.

Edward: *across the room* Rosalie thinks it’s cute seeing you waddle around after Alice

You: I do not waddle

Leah: you kind of do.

You: *glares*

Sue and Charlie: *enters*

Sue: *hugs you* congratulations

Alice: *skips over to you and hands you a photo*

You: *gasps*

Rosalie: *snaps at Alice* where did you get this!

You: Babe! You’re so cute as a baby!

Alice: I have my ways! I have more of these if you let me do a gender reveal

You: *cooes*

Rosalie: No, we don’t need a gender reveal *pulls you away*

You: but there’s more! You got to see my baby photos!

The Cullens and The Pack: *playing baby shower games*

Rosalie: *looks around for you and walks away from the group* doll?

You: *looks at the Guess who baby board, smiles and caresses your baby belly*

Rosalie: your smile says you’re happy but your eyes tell a different story *hugs you*

You: I love you, and I love the family we are building but

Rosalie: but we will always be like this, frozen.

You: yeah… how did you do it? Live knowing you’re the last to remember your family, your home?

Rosalie: spite… I also have my sister with me

You: *chuckles* sounds like you

Rosalie: someone doesn’t truly die until they are forgotten

You: it feels heavy

Rosalie: *lifts your belly*

You: I was speaking metaphorically but this helps too

Rosalie: *hums* yes but you won’t be carrying those memories on your own*

Billy has been transcribing everything going on with the pack since you guys shifted. I’ve kept a diary since I was old enough to write.

You: and I’m just knowing about it now? Baby we’ve been married 10 years, together for 11… Anything I should know about? Perhaps about a certain female shifter?

Rosalie: hush you. *slowly lets go of your belly*

You: *groans*

Rosalie: I’ll help you remember them. I promise. *leaves multiple kisses on your face*

Quinn: I found them!

ATTN: The boomers that follow me for some reason

The abuse I'd been getting since this started dropped off roughly 2016, when I told Rachel if she wanted to have a say in what I post, she can pay me. It picked back up roughly the same time Harry was outed as being with his current wife, at the time of the Karen Occupation, and been on the upswing ever since.

For the longest time, I never understood why I received so much negative attention from your particular niche in this fandom. I never spoke to you, minded your business, nor knew you existed, yet you felt the need to mind mine, scold me, yell at me, and speak to me as though I do not deserve respect and decency, perhaps going so far as to hoping one day I'd just eat a bullet.

The theory, which is disturbing at best, for why you project your insecurities onto me (and only me) is that you can't fathom mine and younger generations being so "ourselves" because that was not a thing when you grew up. I'm sorry that was the way it was, but that is not how it is now. Times change, often for the better, even from when I was growing up in the '90s. I'm thankful for this. You lot, however, seem to have taken the fantasy/ideology of "what a man should be" and decided you are disgusted/upset that I do not fall into that mold. So you come into my house and shit all over the place like you ain't got no home training, sending me homophobic messages, personally insulting me and my intelligence, telling me I need to "get my head checked (I've had 2 neuro-pysch exams I promise you my brain functions just fine)," and going out of your way to make me hate myself. Why? So you can fix me and make me the "alpha male" of your fantasies. It's like some form of conversion therapy. This is why you're so obsessed with me. I'm not bitter that nobody else is being hated on; I'M BITTER THAT I WAS/AM SINGLED OUT.

Quite frankly, that's fucking disturbing. I'm 36. I'm a regular guy, enlisted, trying to make it through the next 10 of my career without further damaging my already broken body. I'm nobody. But y'all out here harassing me for *checks notes* living my life and being happy. Not even a single shred of empathy. Just fuckin' "SEND IT" with the constant degradation and berating and lecturing. Fuck sake I serve this country with pride, nearly had the national ensign over my casket and folded and handed to my mother before I hit 30, and this is how y'all gonna act towards me, after walking around with your metaphorical dick out, posting boomer ass Facebook graphics yelling "REPOST THE FLAG OR YOUR A COMMIE?" THAT is some fucking disrespect, not a royal in an honorary position of rank wearing a service's uniform. It's fucking disgusting...oh I'm a "brave PATRIOT" until you find out I wanna fuck some hot British guy's brains out. Then I need to shut up and "eat shit and die."

I'm not a project. I'm not responsible for your issues. I'm under no obligation to be nice to you. Your baggage is not mine to carry. You are responsible for your own behavior. I do have intellectual superiority; this is not me swinging my dick, it is fact. My ASVAB score qualified me for everything except the nuclear field. I learned college-level electronics theory in 9 months. I've had a combined 10 months of specialized training on specific systems, the most recent being the AN/GSC-52B MET. This last advancement cycle I scored in the 93rd percentile overall IN THE ENTIRE GODDAMN NAVY. My job is entirely critical-thinking, problem solving, and written/verbal communication. PEOPLE COULD DIE IF THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS CAN'T SEE THE PLANES. I have to explain to idiots officers with degrees why I can't connect a system carrying classified data to their unclassified computer to they "don't have to get up" to look at the console. Between you there's...what, 10 brain cells? You think tabloids are classic literature. IT IS A FUCKING FACT, BRENDA.

Oh and the "I hate that you were treated like that/you didn't deserve that BUT" can be shoved up your ass, as well. If that were the case, you wouldn't continue your anonymous! tirade about how I'm a fuck up, need to be nicer, how I'm treated is entirely my fault, and using Prince Philip, who is very much dead despite my wishes, as a way to emotionally manipulate me (an entirely different level of Fucking Disgusting).

The entire fucking audacity. Take your own advice and look in the mirror. YOU are the reason I'm so fucking stressed. YOU are the reason I fucking hate it here and want to leave. YOU are the reason I'm so fucking "rude" and on defense all the time. DEALING WITH YOU IS FUCKING EXHAUSTING.

#it's long I'm sorry #<- that's what Sea Duke said #but there's only so much bullshit I can take #I'm not joking when I tell y'all I hate it here #not my best work but it's honest #boomer women be miserable and I'm not here for that shit #it's very disrespectful to bae

@promqueengreen

Traffic; which wasn’t as lame as Rachel obviously thought. He did drive up here during rush hour; the airport got busy. But I knew I was drowning. Ross was very smart. But with Rachel she had the tenacity to make him squirm because she had a hold over him. She knew him like the back of her hand, just like he knew her. Did he think any of the excuses he told tonight would fly with her? No of course not but given our history deep down the brunette knew the why I was here. 

She’d gloss over the why because she didn’t want to talk about it. Obviously given her silence since I left that voicemail months ago. And if Adien wasn’t here dragging his feet behind us; I’d definitely have a lot to say to her. Even if it ended with the pending rejection. Ross normally walked away in fear, he didn’t want to be rejected but with Rachel he’d do anything for her. 

The way Rachel spoke she was making me out to be an idiot, a weak one too. It was a reminder of how far our history went. Years of knowing the other; her lack of gym activity, but I also wasn’t the one embarrassing the other right now. I felt unsure how to respond, I could hear Ariden chuckling behind us, I felt like such a fool to believe for one second that I could compare with this guy. Glancing to the pavement as we walked closer to my car, I found my voice. 

“ Yeah yeah, we get it, but you’d be surprised how much I’ve changed since you’ve been gone, I’m not the same Ross you knew,” Well I was still quirky, I was still an idiot sometimes, but I decided to keep those inner thoughts to myself. I wanted to make an impression. Upon settling myself into the drivers seat, I heard the retorts regarding my sister, she was a organized freak which means the female’s apartment was already fitted with her belongings, boxes undone, her clothes were inside the closet, her place would have the furniture before we arrive, it was kinda impressive about Monica. I had to release a laugh from lips as I aired out my reply. “ In other words we let Monica do the hard work, I’m sure she had Chandler there just to help with the boxes unpacking I mean, yet again it was probably her bossing him around.” What a poor fool I thought to myself; yet again I was the fool that was sitting in my car ready for the ride with Rachel and her new boyfriend. I was dreading this car ride; but for a second I managed to forget, upon hearing her confirmation that she was happy to see me, plus her hand on my knee. Eyes glanced to the contact as I responded to the dinner comment. 

“ I’ll see what I can do.” I never lied harder; I had no intention of going to this dinner, one I did want to pretend I had plans, and two to witness Rachel with her arms around Aiden all night now that made my stomach knot up. No thank you. But I kept that bit to myself as I nodded before I had placed my hand on the gear to put us into drive. 

Other hand moved to the radio letting some lame pop tune play; it would be a long ride for me, as I tried to focus on the road once we reached the parkway; let’s just make this painless right? It had already painted crap in my face; let’s just escape and prepared Aiden wasn’t in the backseat.

Stick Season (5/14)

Summary: After Finn dies, Kurt leaves everything he knows behind without a trace. His hometown, his family, his boyfriend. When his dad has a medical scare, he returns to Lima, one year after breaking Blaine’s heart with no explanation.

Tropes/Genres: Angst, Reconciliation, Grief, Alcoholism, Mentions of Major Character Death

Track 5: Come Over // Day 5: You’re The Best Thing

Words: 632

A/N: Can I offer y'all some fluff in these trying times?

***

“Kurt! The guy you’ve got a big fat stupid crush on is here!”

“Oh, my god, shut up, Finn!”

As Kurt trots down the stairs, his brother gives him a sly smirk. 

“You’re the one who invited him over, anyway,” Kurt scoffs, stepping to the circular mirror in the doorway to check his reflection.”

“Yeah, because it was getting pretty pathetic watching you pine over the new kid every time he sang a solo in glee club.”

“You are so annoying. I am not pining.”

“Right, so you’re fixing your hair because you totally don’t care what he thinks about you.”

Kurt freezes for a moment before tossing Finn a sharp glare. “Shut up,” he mutters, as the latter opens the door for their guest.

“Blaine, my man!” Finn calls out, greeting the newest member of the New Directions with a hi-five and brotherly hug. “How’s it going?”

“Great! I’m so excited, I can’t believe they’re showing A New Hope at the theaters again, after all these years! Thanks for the ticket, by the way, I really appreciate it.”

Finn gives a grimace that Kurt can tell is facetious. “Yeeeeah, about that…”

Blaine looks like a kicked puppy already, and Finn hasn’t even finished explaining. Kurt has to stop himself from letting out an audible “Aw,” at Blaine’s expression.

“I forgot that Rachel’s dads invited me to a wine tasting over in Westerville, some sort of fancy pants thing that happens once a year.”

“Oh, okay,” Blaine mumbles sadly. Kurt furrows his eyebrows. In no world does Finn Hudson opt for a wine tasting over a Star Wars showing.

“But!” Finn continues, “The tickets are already paid for and everything, so… why don’t you go with Kurt?”

Kurt’s stomach drops at the veil of invisibility being torn from him, and he straightens his posture as Blaine turns to him, amber eyes lighting up.

“Kurt loves Star Wars.”

“That’s a bold faced lie.” Kurt corrects him, face heating up.

“Okay, yeah, but you like cute single guys, so,”

“Finn!” Kurt buries his hands in his face as Finn heads out the door. “You are the worst!”

“You love me,” he says with a cocky grin as he closes the door behind him. 

“Have fun, you two,” he calls out, leaving the two boys alone in the house.

Blaine chuckles and shakes his head, hands deep in his pockets. “What… just happened?”

“I am so, so sorry,” Kurt apologizes. “That was my idiot brother’s attempt at playing matchmaker. You’d think the family business was matchmaking instead of a tire shop.”

“It doesn’t sound like the worst business model,” Blaine banters.

“The only business I’m in is losing your interest, surely.” 

“Oh, is that so?” 

“Yeah, and I turn a profit every time I stick my foot in my mouth.” 

“Kurt…” Blaine smiles, taking a step forward to grab Kurt’s hand in his. Kurt sucks in a breath at the electricity passing through them. “You’re a terrible businessman.”

Face flushed red, he says, “Well… I suppose this is one of the only instances that’s a compliment.”

“You’re honestly the best thing about Glee club. I mean, its fun, but I like… you.”

For as long as he remembered, Kurt’s fantasized about being somebody people actually wanted. He’s been alone for so long that he wasn’t sure he’d even know how to react when or if it ever actually happened. 

Kurt may not like Star Wars, but he likes Blaine. A lot. 

So,he grabs his coat and his keys. “Come on, we’re going to be late.”

Finn brings him back a bottle of strawberry wine from Westerville (even though Kurt doesn’t even like drinking) as an quasi-apology. When he finally tastes it a few weeks later, lying in bed with Blaine draped over him, though, it's the sweetest thing.

[thyknife]

Jake and Bradley celebrate their first year of marriage in November. ( I just see a nice autumn wedding for my two idiots because you know the whole mission timing etc) the first anniversary is paper and Bradley knows he has this anniversary gift locked and loaded and even Natasha has told him he has definitely won the anniversary gift giving for this year at least.

Jake finds George Straight tickets sitting on their bed when he wakes up and the shout of “Rooster!” makes Bradley fist pump the air because he knows he has won.

Jake refuses to give his gift until after their dinner reservations when they are back home. The gift is huge and Bradley is worried Jake has bought something incredibly expensive. Tearing the paper off Bradley finds a picture frame and he’s crying and grabbing at Jake and holding onto him so tight as soon as he realizes what he’s looking at crying because there’s finally a photo of Bradley and Goose. Father and Son in their flight suits, Goose’s arm slung around Bradley’s shoulder.

(A local artist does these type of murals near me and every time I see her post a new one I cry my eyes out because she’s so talented and does a lot of them for free especially kids who have lost a parent and it’s graduation time.)

Ugly crying. UGLY crying right now.

I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie The Family Stone?? It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I watch it every Christmas. Anyways, the scene near the end when they’re all unwrapping the framed photo gifts. Like. And Rachel McAdams tears up. I lose it every time. Every fucking time.

And the idea of Jake gifting Bradley something like that but it’s with his DAD, I’m im imimndkakaksjdjsl

I’m so soft and wounded and endeared.

Thank you for this one, so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[harvey-dentverse]

Ok now im curious whats everyones favorite music genres/artists :0! You too glider!

Hi there! Hello to you too! Let’s go through the list:

BTAS - He prefers more 90s types of music, not too much of a fan of recent music so far. I’m not sure if he has a favorite artist, he just likes old songs and any duet that doesn’t suck. He’s also not a fan of musicals.

Nolanverse - Pretty much anything that reminds him of Rachel and Bruce. Like BTAS, he prefers older music to recent music.

Billy Dee Williams - Little disco freak, he likes a lot of dance music actually. He also knows quite a bit of Spanish, so sometimes you’ll hear him humming or muttering some Spanish lyrics to songs. He doesn’t mind modern music, but they don’t have the same feel as older music.

Arkham - He strikes me as a guy who likes rap and songs about success. I don’t know why. He also doesn’t share his music a lot, which is fine since everyone doesn’t like his music for the most part.

TMNT - If you show him Cats or Cats Don’t Dance, he will kill you on the spot. But he does actually like musicals. If only he had better taste in them.

Eagleverse - He prefers a lot of romantic types of songs, as well as jazz actually. He has a low voice, so his singing is actually pretty good.

Gotham - Poor guy, everyone neglects his say with the aux cord. He’s a lover of Will Wood, actually, and listens to his songs while doing his work.

Forever - Absolutely a Queen, Michael Jackson, Elvis, and Marina and the Diamonds fan. He is girlie pop and refuses to let anyone have control over the radio because he is a Barbie girl in a Barbie world.

Me - Thanks for including me! None of these idiots do! I like any song I can imagine, so that includes a lot of musicals, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, and anything dark or gritty or bouncy or anything just fun.

[obscureashe]

Hello! I’d like to send in a request for the matchup event please! I’d like a romantic matchup with a male character ^^

My Name is Rachel, Im 18, and my pronouns are she/her.  My zodiac sign is Taurus and Im a Gemini rising.

I’m a really optimistic person, and I try to help others as much as I can! I’m good at giving advice, and making people feel better. I’m also very charismatic and very outgoing! I love trying out new activities, But, I can get impatient easily and I tend to be stubborn. I’m very affectionate and I tend to make sure that everyone around me is feeling alright before making sure that I am. Basically, I’m like the mom friend. 

I’m 5’7, I have dark brown hair that is a couple inches past my shoulders, brown eyes and freckles across my nose.

I really enjoy fashion design. I love sewing and coming up with a new ideas of something I can make! I’m also really passionate about music. I’ve played piano since second grade, and it really helps me to express myself! Some of my other hobbies include baking, and shopping. My personal style is a kind of mix between softie and angelcore. I love clothes that are pink, ruffly or have some sort of lace on them. Some things I like include, desserts, pretty perfume bottles, flowers, and jewelry. 

I absolutely hate bugs, I dont think I’ll get to a stage in my life where I’ll be able to kill them.

Thank you so much!! <33

thank you so much for sending me a request for a match up! the way you dress sounds so lovely too! (i hate bugs too, like won't touch one with a 10 foot pole either)

for your platonic match up, i'm pairing you with. . .

Uzui Tengen » +makio, suma, hinatsuru

I honestly think he's the perfect platonic matchup for you!

the sound of your piano playing would be so relaxing to his ears, he'd look forward to the time you two spend together

and he loves your "flashy" style. loves.

your not afraid to be yourself and flaunt it, he'll always respect the crap out of you because of it

and honestly, hanging out with his wives would probably never be dull either (if you want to go shopping they're the perfect trio to go with you!)

usually busy (hashira things) but is a great pen-pal

asks for updates on any sewing projects or ideas you have

and sends you little accessories he thinks suits your style (also tries to weasel in things he'd like but what can you do. . .)

and for your romantic match up, i'm pairing you with. . .

Kyojuro Rengoku »

you'll 100% have a nickname, "dear" "my love", and would probably refer to you as "the light of his life" (it'd probably be weirder if he called you by your actual name)

gushes over you a lot, and I mean sometimes he'd just sit there smiling like an idiot, just basking in appreciation for you

really healthy relationship!

super supportive

he's open about how he feels and if somethings bother him

learns how to tell if somethings on your mind too

I think the only thing he'd keep a secret is hashira related things (and only if you didn't ask)

surprise hugs from behind all the time

therefore, a ton of shoulder and cheek kisses

he knows you like to take care of others (just like he does himself) so he likes to spoil you from time to time just to prove how much it means to him

your passion for sewing and music is so damned respectable

he tries not to hover, especially when you're really focused but its a good reminder when he sees you like that (he's really lucky)

happy to hold your shopping bags and wait for you (do it all in one trip kinda guy) his opinions aren't very helpful if you'd ask him, but he knows what you like, so he'll just confirm it

wouldn't let you pay for a damned thing

(almost forgot) but his eardrums are a little. . . ruptured. . .

sometimes he just needs to sit on the piano bench while you play, just so he can listen

always has a finger or hand on the piano so he can feel it too

his love languages are words of affirmation and acts of service

him surprising you by watching some fireworks, laying a blanket out for you and keeping you warm while you watch together (is just- ♡ )

lord have mercyy! and happy valentine's day! thank you so much for requesting a match up, i really hope you liked them! :)

[bnbc]

I must know:

Rachel:

👱‍♀️🧺🦾❔(Your choice!)

and Kou:

🍙(of Kou-rse. Haha)

💴👁❔(Yorinobu. If not applicable- your choice!)

thank you so much for so many asks from Get-A-Long Ask!

For Rach:

👱‍♀️- Meredith Stout

It started with a biz! Meredith needed some not…really legal service and someone who would work with a corpo with no extra questions. She didn't want to work with Dino for some reason (read, there was a huge chance the deal would be a setup and Mer didn't want to ruin the relationship with someone serious). So, she went for some almost-no-name Charter Hill bitch.

However, the Charte Hill bitch managed to avoid the bad consiquenses of the deal with impressive ease, so she was definitely worth further cooperation… and something more. What was planned as a one-night stand became more than this, but their relationship was never easy. Meredith didn't want anything serious and tried to get their biz and their connection separate, while Rachel desperately wanted to have both sides of Meredith Stout to herself. But even after Meredith gave up and accepted the fact she does care about her fixer-lets-le-real-girlfriend, the struggle remained due to a lot of issues both sides had. They even broke up in 2077 for several years and had to use a layer to set up the conditions after they ended up together again xD

🧺- Anders Hellman

Oops, they never met. I mean she might know smth about him during her years in Arasaka, but they never met in person and had no relationship.

🦾- Johnny Silverhand

The same goes to Johnny, 'cuz Rachel interest mostly revolved around taking her place in the city's food chain, she had no idea about some not-so-dead-rockerboy.

They crossed their ways with Kou several times (one day I'll write a story of her ruining Rachel's only Jungudji dress left) but they haven't been close back then, just on friend-of-my-dead-friend level, so there was no chance Kou would talk about Johnny with her.

❔- Michiko Arasaka

And here she comes!

They become acquaintances in post-canon events. I HC that after being resurrected in Yori's body tighten the screws for anyone whom he even slightly suspected of taking his son's side. He had nothing on Michiko, yet, he made sure she's tied to Arasaka more seriously then before and tried to control her. Michiko wasn't truly fond of getting ripped off her usual freedom, so she started digging against 'her own', and eventually, she got a very long game planned. And for this, she needed an ally.

At that point, Rachel already had a solid reputation and open Wako's support. She was in the middle of a power struggle with Rogue, so when Michiko came to her they managed to help each other. The trust between them was slow to build, but on some level, they understood each other perfectly and each came to conclusion it's more profitable to play it fair with each other.

So, at some point, they came to the point that they both were really interested that their littel 'bird buiseness' ended up successfull (and spoiler, it did)

For Kou:

🍙 - Goro Takemura

Well, well, well. Let's say before Kou started seeing Goro as her friend she had so seen him as human. From the start he was nothing just some stubborn corpo suit she was forced to cooperate with, but the magic happened when he told her to go fuck herself, she even stood in the middle of the crossroad somewhere in the North Side processing this message.

He annoyed her A LOT (which was mutual xD), and she couldn't stand his attitude towards the Night City. She even started her little crusade aiming to change his mind about the place, taking him to her fav places, loading his DMs with shitloads shots of NC's beauty. It wasn't really successful, tho xD

Not long before the recon she realized she's got some extra feelings towards her friend and tried to solve this 'problem' quite straightforward and was politely rejected (because the keyword in 'idiots in love' is the fact BOTH are idiots)

Goro also went a long way from 'stupid thief' via 'the asset to achieve the noble goal' to 'a person I do really care about but not ready to accept this fact until she dies'

I also HC that game events take the whole summer of 2077 so they both have enough time for pinning and being idiots xD

💴- Hanako Arasaka

Hanako is someone… unreachable. They had little interactions, just canon ones, nothing extra, and there is no real relationship between them, esp if you ask Kou. From Hanako's side, it's more complicated tho, since she took her obligation to V quite seriously, and tried to fulfill them as much as she could.

She not only supported Kou's resurrection but also secretly covered her and Goro's escape (he is still sure Hanako had no idea about him working against Arasaka for his own plans, haha).

👁- Sandayu Oda

Oh, Oda. Unfortunately, he dies very early in my post-canon storyline, so he and Kou didn't have a chance to know each other better, and it's quite sad because they have a lot in common and could make a wonderful mix of friends and rivals one day.

But yeah, all that they had were meeting in the docks, and that fight on the parade that Kou won by using dirty tricks and unconventional psycological weapons (aka was distracting him with the nasty details of her and Goro made up sex life), and some interactions during the devil ending. Kou has a low opinion about him back in 2077, but later it changes and she even slightly regrets she had no chance to know him better

❔- Yorinobu Arasaka

She mostly known Yori by his actions and rumors surrounding him and basically thinks he's nothing but poser and moron. To have so much money and power and to fuck them up on some childish rebelion? Oh, c'mon. Even his final speech doesn't change her mind, for her he always stays some out-of-reality-wannabe-idealist whos death is only logical.

From the Beginning

This is a one-shot for the Agent Carter Bingo challenge, but I had so much fun with it. I particularly like how Angie explains the things she's done to win her mystery woman's attention while said woman is oblivious.

Thanks to @likea-black-widow-baby for the insightful comments and edits.

From the Beginning

"One vanilla sweet cream cold brew, light ice, light cream for the beautiful Englishwoman from Patriot Hall," Angie announced as she waltzed through the dormitory door. She deposited the drink and a laundry bag by Peggy's phone. "Also, I grabbed your laundry from downstairs. There were a few weirdos by the dryer, and I didn't want them to take your undies."

Peggy took a long drink. "You're too kind,” she said. ”Also, I adore you for this." She held up the coffee and smiled.

"How about adoring me some more and going to a movie with me later tonight?"

Peggy peered over her laptop at Angie sprawled across her bed. "While that sounds lovely, I can't tonight. I'm studying."

"You're always studying."

"Yes," Peggy agreed. "If I want to get into the Master's program, I have to."

Angie wrinkled her nose in frustration. "You were a lot more fun our freshman year, English."

"Was I?"

"Yes. You were."

Peggy shrugged and reached for her coffee. "I guess I've become more focused since then."

"You've become more boring," Angie groaned. "It's Saturday night, grandma. Who studies on a Saturday night?" She tossed a pillow at Peggy's head.

Peggy caught it, eyes still on her screen. "I thought we'd established that I do." She dropped it to the floor and looked pointedly at Angie. "Why don't you call Gloria or Carol? I'm sure they'd love to go out tonight."

"They're on a double date with Jack and Daniel."

Peggy frowned. "Jack Thompson? Seriously?"

Angie grinned. "I know! That's what I said! To each their own, I guess."

"Well, what about Laura? The ‘cute’ one. Haven't you two gone out a few times?"

Angie shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah, we did."

"And?"

"It was nice, but there was no… spark."

"No spark?"

Angie waved her hand. "No spark. No chemistry. Call it whatever you want. It wasn't there."

Peggy closed her laptop lid and sighed. "Angie."

"What's wrong with wanting a few fireworks?" she asked defensively.

"Nothing," Peggy admitted. She pulled off her blue light glasses and set them on the desk. "But you've managed to find something wrong with the last four girls you've dated. Laura has no spark. Meredith was too tall. Rachel was too clingy."

Angie crossed her arms and glared at Peggy. "Those are all valid reasons."

"Kelsey chewed too loudly," Peggy said pointedly.

"She did!"

Peggy leaned over and patted the bed beside her. Angie stared at her for a long moment before moving across the room. She sat down with a huff and focused on the ceiling.

"All I'm saying is maybe your standards are a tad high?"

Angie released a slow breath. "You're the one who's always telling me to know my value."

Peggy smiled. "I am." She reached over and laced her fingers through Angie's. "You're my best friend. I want you to be happy."

"I am happy."

Peggy gazed at her. "Are you?"

"Mostly?"

"What does 'mostly' mean?" Peggy asked.

"I know it didn't work out with you and Steve,” Angie said, glancing down at their interlocked fingers, “But whenever I watched you two together, you seemed so… in sync. I don't know. It's like you were on the same page, and I have never felt that with anyone except one idiot who doesn't seem to know I exist in that way."

"Oh, Angie," Peggy murmured. She wrapped her arm around her friend and pulled her into a hug. "Please don't judge all your relationships by Steve and me. Yes, we were happy together. But I promise you, it wasn't all sunshine when we were together."

"Really?" Angie squeaked, her voice muffled against Peggy's shoulder.

"Really," Peggy assured her. "And if you're already found the right girl, give her time. I know she'll eventually see how wonderful and amazing you are."

"What if she's too focused or dumb to see what's standing in front of her?"

Peggy laughed. "Well, you'll have to try harder."

Angie pulled back and peered intently at her. "What do you suggest?"

Peggy nibbled her lip as she thought about it. "I know I always enjoy the small gestures. A kind word, an unexpected coffee. You know I don’t need grand gestures."

Angie looked at her incredulously. "And what if that doesn't work?"

Peggy grinned. "You picked a real winner, didn't you?"

"You have no idea," Angie responded dryly.

"Well, if none of those things work, you might have to take the direct approach."

"Just tell her what I feel and hope for the best?"

Peggy nodded.

Angie tilted her head to the side and seemed to consider her advice.

Peggy smiled. "I know it's scary, but sometimes, honesty is the best way."

"Well, everything else I've tried hasn't worked, so why not," Angie said. With a sigh, she walked over to the laundry bag by Peggy's desk and began rummaging through it.

Peggy looked at her in confusion. "Angie, what on earth are you doing?"

Angie held up a finger. "Give me a moment." When she emerged a minute later, she had a lacy red bra and matching panties in her hand.

"Angie! Put those back."

Angie walked back to stand in front of her and gave her a pointed look. "Peggy, you gorgeous dolt. I hope you enjoyed the coffee I brought you when I returned to our room with your laundry."

Peggy's eyes widened, but Angie rushed on, cheeks becoming darker.

"I was thinking maybe someday, if you're open to it, I could come home and find you waiting for me with nothing but these on."

Peggy felt her face grow warm, and she stared at Angie.

Beautiful Englishwoman.

Hot coffee.

Laundry.

My favorite English muffin.

Movie invitations.

Trips to urgent care when Peggy was sick.

Too dumb, indeed.

"I… I didn't know," Peggy finally said as all of the pieces fell into place.

A small smile tugged at the corner of Angie's lips, and she shrugged. "To be fair, I never told you. Honestly, I figured you'd pick up on it eventually. Guess not."

Peggy's thoughts were in a whirl. "How long?" she finally asked.

"I think I figured it out the night I walked in on you and Steve."

Even though that evening had been well over a year ago, embarrassment coursed through Peggy. "I still can't believe you caught us…."

Angie grimaced. "Trust me, I still feel bad about it, but there was nothing on the door, and it was unlocked."

Peggy groaned. "I know. We got carried away."

"Yeah, I'll say."

Peggy frowned. "But, I don't understand how that…."

Angie blushed. "Look, I've always thought you were gorgeous. But before I could say anything, you had your short-lived fling with Dottie-"

"Oh God, don't say her name," Peggy pleaded.

Angie smirked. "And then you met Steve, and that took off, so I figured it didn't matter anymore. And I knew I could be respectful. I thought I'd eventually meet someone."

"But that night?"

Angie took a deep breath. "Yeah. That night." She looked away for a moment, and when she gazed back at Peggy, her eyes were dark. "You moaned, asked for more, and I wanted to give it to you.”

An image of Angie between her legs flashed across Peggy's mind, and she sucked in a deep breath. Other ideas followed, and a familiar heat slowly snaked through her body. It was… unexpected. But not unwelcome.

Not at all.

Peggy replayed the last several months' events in her head and finally gave up trying to make any sense of them. She looked at Angie in confusion.

"Steve and I haven't been together for over a year."

"You haven't," Angie agreed. "But you needed time to heal. And then you buried yourself in books and schoolwork. I tried, but you never seemed interested."

Peggy recalled Angie's invitations to the movies, a hike, or a coffee. All the little compliments about how smart and beautiful she was. The gifts of pastries, teas, and coffees given late at night when she was studying. How could she have not seen them for what they really were?

"I really am oblivious," Peggy murmured.

Angie nodded in agreement. "You really are." She sat beside Peggy and laced their fingers once more. Angie's hand was warm, and the light floral scent she always wore seemed amplified. Peggy was instantly aware of how different it felt now.

"It's a good thing you're so cute," Angie smiled.

Peggy tightened her fingers around Angie's and nodded. "It's a good thing you're so persistent. Otherwise, I might never have seen what's right in front of me."

Angie grinned and leaned closer. "So… about that movie later tonight?"

"Absolutely," Peggy agreed before her mind could catch up to her heart. "I would love to go out with you."

Delight danced across Angie's face, and Peggy was pleased to know she'd caused it. There would be things to figure out, of course. Living together as roommates was decidedly different from living with someone you dated. But, Peggy found herself suddenly eager to try. She also found herself staring at Angie's lips. How had she not noticed them before?

"Angie?"

"Mmm?"

"Will I get a goodnight kiss?"

"I think I can arrange that." Angie beamed. Then she got up and left Peggy on the bed.

Peggy looked at her in confusion. "Where are you going?"

"I've got to get a few things together for this hot date I have tonight."

"Oh really," Peggy laughed.

Angie nodded. "And, you need to study."

"I don't know if I'll do much of that now."

Angie winked. "Pick you up at seven?"

Peggy rolled her eyes. "Angie, you live here."

"Nope. I'm going to knock your socks off, Peggy Carter. You deserve an amazing night out, and I will deliver."

"Seven it is."

"See you in a few hours then, gorgeous."

Angie flitted out the door and Peggy stared after her. She wasn't quite sure what she'd gotten herself into, but she was excited to find out.

She picked up the red lingerie on her floor and remembered Angie's confession. With care, she tucked them away in her top drawer and smiled. She wouldn't need these tonight, but if things went well, she would soon.

She couldn't wait.

My opinion abt Glee main cast

Rachel I really couldn't stand her from the beginning: I understand that her character has her own "depth" and I love her friendship with Kurt but she’s a spoiled little girl who steps over her friends just to get to the top. Her voice is beautiful, undoubtedly, but it gets boring by the 10th song you hear.

Finn I never realized how much I liked him until he died. Looking back you see how important he actually was to the club and to the series. He did some mischief and I still don't understand how he put up with Rachel, but he's adorable. His brotherhood with Kurt was beautiful. Interesting voice but nothing great, although some of his songs are iconic.

Mercedes She's the queen. Probably one of the few characters I just love. She has been a good friend to everyone, and personally a good girlfriend to Sam. If you talk about her voice obv it's in top 5, it's just divine. She deserves all her popularity.

Artie My favorite little guy- you don't understand how much I love him. He never gave up and found something he really wants to do and for that I'm so proud of him. His voice is super underrated.

Kurt Seeing him grow up and go from "the bullied gay guy" to being a Broadway star ALSO because he's gay makes me super proud. I don't talk about his relationship with Blaine just bc I would never finish. He's a total fashion icon. His voice? I fell in love with it from his first audition and it's my second favorite.

Tina Uhuh I don't know honestly. She has changed so much during the series that I'm not even sure who she's anymore. She's not a bad character, her voice is nice, but not iconic.

Quinn As it should be, I hated her in the beginning. Sometimes she did crazy things while other times she was super nice and kind. In the end I liked her growth. Nice voice, but not so much above Tina's.

Brittany I love her immensely. Although I'm still very confused about her sex and love life, I knew from the start she would end up with Santana eventually. I love those two lesbians. Hands down one of the best dancers in the series. I was hoping they would show more of her dancing.

Santana What I like most about her is that she's consistent with herself. She's bitchy from start to finish, but at the same time she manages to maintain a kinder side. Let's face it: without her Rachel would not have survived NY. Hers is another unique voice; every one of her songs is top 50.

Mike Despite being a main character I always forget about his existence help- Character growth is almost nonexistent(?) Neither good nor bad. Best dancer ever.

Puck Love of my life. I've loved this idiot from the beginning bc I've always known he had a heart of gold. He deserves someone who really loves him (no hate for Quinn). I've never been able to get used to his voice, but I have to admit that some of his songs are wonderful.

Blaine He is my protégé. If I hear even one negative thing about him I might kill someone. He has been traumatized as much as Kurt and that is why I love how he takes him under his own care even before really falling in love with him. He has a heart of gold and deserves the best. Obv his voice is my absolute favorite, did it need to be said? All his songs are iconic.

Sam I really liked when in s4 started to being more important, he is a good character. I like how he's always in the clouds but still manages to be serious if he wants to be. His friendship with Blaine is too good, definitely a shame they didn't get engaged at least once. Nothing to say about his voice.

Will Great professor undoubtedly, but sometimes I wanted to punch him so hard. His relationship with Emma is super sweet, but it got heavy at one point. I like how he took Finn under his wing. His voice? Thank you but no.

Sue At first she irritated me so much, but I realized almost immediately that she was a good person. She only disliked Will, and I don't blame her. She did a lot as a character (like getting Klaine back together) and is the best rival the club could have.

Rory Special mention for the most underrated voice in the series. And also for the most underrated character. He deserved so much more screen time. His cover of Home is one of my favorites.
