#honestly it makes me kind of sad that people completely write off finn's arc through s3#bc it is.....scarily accurate to how most hs seniors are dealing w the overabundance of 'what do you want to do with your life' q's they get#i remember having no fucking idea when i was 17#and i think it's such an important conversation about how we place so much pressure on these literal kids to know#when most people graduating college still don't fully know#i also think w finn in particular there's something to be said about status and reputation#thinking about quinn's idea of being a lima loser and the life she'd resigned herself to and almost what is 'expected' of them?#peak in hs and just go downhill afterward#you're the quarterback in high school and everyone loves you and you're consumed w that you don't really think about much else#but what happens when all that goes away who are you without that#everyone heaps all this praise on finn as the quarterback and the leader but who is he really and what does he want to do#and in his mind: what happens when high school ends and he isn't the quarterback anymore#this is honestly where most of my issues w finchel come from#from the beginning rachel has seen him as an idea a symbol she wanted to date the quarterback that meant something to her#but the quarterback is a person and he has feelings and things he deals w that may not be easily reconciled w the Quarterback#and i really wish they'd deconstructed this more in s4 this like.....tendency to fall in love w ideas over people and struggle#when people don't meet your expectations#especially so young#they touch on it w klaine too at the end of s4 and i wanted more#but that's another post basically i really love finn i wish this was talked about more lmfao
