Words just can't express

This chapter was wonderful.
Confession: I was in Wal-Mart and started reading this. When that bitch said the N word, I actually said out loud "OH HELL NAW!" right in the middle of the store

Dude, I could write a HUGE essay in response to this story, but I don't want to bore you

I can't wait until the next segment

LOL oh, dear! And I don't mind essay repsonses - that's our royalty for fic writing! I appreciate you reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Best chapter yet.

I have so many thoughts and feelings, but I'm not gonna get on my racial soapbox right now. I'm glad Mercedes and Santana had the strength to walk away. And good on Mercedes for rockin' her natural hair!

You continue to make this story meaningful and real.

Thank you so much! I was a bit nervous about this update but since it seems clear that the only "issue" that'll never be truly addressed on glee is how it feels to be a PoC at a predominantly white school, I wanted to instead. It's a a real thing...so I'm glad people are appreciating it! Thanks for reading!

[bana05]

Aw, thank you so much! I'm really glad and relieved, to be honest! I appreciate you reading and going along for the ride with me, truly!

so many feelings
so few words

i spent way more time rooting for and cheering cedes and santana on than being enraged about all the racial slurs. (i still got really rage-y, tho) how perfect is you posting this right as the latest round of hijinks from this show's tptb were announced. i will continue to enjoy dwelling in your version of canon over the show's.

perfect amount of sam, i'm so glad you did the casting so i could picture tia and mrs. jones, NO YOU DID NOT HAVE CEDES BIG CHOP EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS, ummmm what else...lauren was ace, so was rachel, thank you for cedes blow up rant to her dad she voiced so many things that i've never been able to convey in those heated moments and i also would like to reserve a seat at santana's family's tgiving table.

oh, and fave line of this chapter:

"Run that shit back! Run that shit back!"

golden.

HIJINKS, to. *sigh*

Thank you for reading, dear! *big hugs* Truly, truly appreciate it. Rachel bless her heart! lol

Finn getting tackled by that girl & Sam's wtf face-classic. lol Tina was about to mess that girl up. haha Really, his back pocket?? Girl would've had it coming. Lauren was so IC. I enjoy her so much in your fics. Puck desperately showing his inncocence made me lol. Santana's reaction to that dumb girl was spectacular. So funny & perfect. I wouldn't have held her back.

"You just do you and never break your stride, that's the best vengeance there ever is." I love that line. Great chapter, powerful message, and Kurt's monster hug at the end was a bonus. Also, Rachel organizing a march...perfect.

Thank you so much for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad you think they're in character too - that you like my interpretation of the shades of layers I think are shown in the show. Really appreciate it!
