Keep Holding On was and still is one of my absolute favorite Glee songs. Ever. Her performance in it was just incredible, and it's the first time we really see just how MUCH everybody is there for her. Have I mentioned how much I miss the season 1 Quinn/Kurt/Mercedes friendship? They were AMAZING! But that moment with Finn is one of my absolute favorites. I was actually a little sad when he took Quinn AND Rachel's hand. For that moment, for that song, it really should have just been Quinn.
Oooooh believe, I think I wear heels once...maaaaaybe twice a year. It's not something I enjoy, and on the rare occassion it happens, it doesn't last long. I wore them to my cousin's wedding in October, and I had to switch back to my sneakers before the reception. I'm a wimp, and I will never understand those people who can wear them all day every day. Not to mention, if the heel is too thin, I WILL go down. My sense of balance is horribly off kilter.
Ok, I will be completely honest here. I have been known to bash Finn before. Mostly in season 2, when everything was going down with Fuinn. Of course, I ALSO bashed Rachel, who's such a hypocrite sometimes that it hurts. When she told Finn to be supportive of her and Jesse because she's always been supportive of he and Quinn I just wanted to hit something. I'm sorry, at which point when she was trying to steal him back did it become supportive? But I've never flat out hated him, I just get protective of my bb. Sadly, Finn does tend to get more unnecessary hate than anyone else in the fandom when, let's face it, they all deserve it at one time or another. That's really kind of just another testament to your marvelous Finn though. That even when I don't ~want~ to like him as a character, I can't help loving him, and especially the way you play him.
And that hug! I love that scene so, so much. Look how tightly he's holding her!

That was easily my absolute favorite too. Quinn just broke my heart the entire time. And just to see the fact that, like you said, everyone was just SO there for her. SOBS that friendship! My heart ;; And you're right. It definitely should have just been Quinn. ESPECIALLY for that song. When he took both of their hands, it felt like it was just showing that he wants to be with both of them. It was very OMG DON'T SEND ME THE WRONG MESSAGE DURING THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT, SHOW X(
I think I wore heels... once in the past almost ten years? And I didn't even wear them the entire night. About half way through the night, once I was finally back outside again (and not in a fancy place where it would be kinda inappropriate o.o ) I spent the rest of the night bare foot. I mean, I have trouble staying upright in sneakers sometimes, LOL.
Honestly, I've done my fair share of Finn bashing too, but let's face it, he kinda has a habit of being dumb as a post :| There are times when he deserves it just like anyone else on the show but he seems to get a lot of unnecessary hate for things. Tumblr is HORRIBLE for it. Oh, did you know that Finn totally conned Rachel into sleeping with him that first time? Yup. Tumblr told me so, so it MUST be true. All a part of his master plan, I guess.
It makes me so happy to hear that my playing of Finn has given you good feelings :'D
God, I love that hug so much. There are just so words ;; <3
And just look at him! You can just SEE how much he loves her <3

Exactly! Why did Rachel have to somehow insinuate herself into almost every adorable Fuinn moment? That's why they don't have as many fans as other ships. They were never really given a chance. That could have been just so romantic and perfect and gah!
Yeah, people take the Finn hate way too far. Every character in this show has been ridiculously hypocritical at one time or another. Finn and Quinn, more than anybody I think, have fallen victim to the character assassination this show is famous far. Ooooh tumblr. Sometimes the things they say on there don't even make sense. Like Puck raping Quinn. Really? At what point did she ever try to say no? Her only stipulation was that Finn not find out, and Puck tell her she isn't fat. On an unrelated note, it is weird that unlike to think that Finn still has that picture of Lucy in his wallet.
Gah....those gifs are going to kill me! Nobody else ever looks at Quinn like that! Whyyyyyyy aren't they together?

I hate that Fuinn had no chance. They had so few episodes before all the cheating started, and then the Rachel just inserting herself into every situation thing is so... god, there are no words :|
Yeah, I love when people draw from nothing to create hate for some of the characters on that show. I mean, I've seen it pretty bad in other fandoms, but the Glee fandom seems ESPECIALLY bad. Especially, like you said, for Finn and Quinn. I've heard of the Puck raping Quinn thing. She was drunk and therefore her judgment was impaired or she wanted to have sex with protection and since Puck said that he did and ended up not having a condom, Quinn didn't agree to the terms under which they had sex so technically he raped her. I thought that one was pretty special :| Just like, apparently, because Finn said that he was saving up money for a nice hotel for himself and Rachel for sometime, he was pushing her to have sex with him before she was ready. That's just being prepared well in advance to take your girlfriend somewhere nice to share what's supposed to be a really special night. And Rachel having sex with Finn before she'd planned on it (you know, 25 years old, and having at least a Tony or whatever) is also Finn's fault. Because he was upset. He tricked her into having sex with him. Because he planned on having his dreams and self-esteem crushed just so he could get into Rachel's pants with some pity sex :| /breathes
I love those gifs. I just keep watching them because they're so beautiful and I just adore the way he looks at her. There's just so much love and adoration and it kills me that they didn't even get a chance to have a drama-free relationship for a while ;;

I know! And in the first half of season 1, what they had was actually really sweet! Like when he went to the ultrasound with her and held her hand the entire time, or when he gave her his baby blanket!
THIS! THIS THIS THIS! Finn is a monster because clearly he pushed Rachel to lose her virginity long before she was ready, but the fact that she wanted to sleep with him so she could play Maria right? SHE'S JUST TRYING TO DO HER JOB! Some of the Rachel stans seriously frighten me. I sometimes wonder just how in touch they are with common sense.

The ultrasound and just how anxious he was the whole time was just so sweet and adorable. IDK I also kinda liked how she seemed more focused on her uniform than anything. It amused me >_> And then Finn's talk with Will out in the waiting room, after the ultrasound. but GOD the baby blanket thing. My heart ; ;
Oh yeah, Finn is totally in the wrong here. I mean, he clearly orchestrated the whole thing from the beginning. People call him an idiot, yet they also seem to think he's akin to a fucking criminal mastermind or something. And Rachel trying to use Finn to ~better her performance? AND THEN TELLING HIM THAT HER WANTING TO SLEEP WITH HIM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?
Oh. Oh, equally good, if not better, is people hating Cory because they hate Finn :| THAT pisses me off to no end. Hating a character and therefore hating the actor/ress :| They are not their character, people! D:

Did you see that moment, right after they found out it was a girl, when he kissed her hand? I almost died! And you knooooow why she was focused on her uniform, right? Anything other than Finn, really. For all his faults, he was being so fucking sweet and supportive and she didn't deserve it because it wasn't even his baby. I have to believe that there was times she did want to tell him if only because he was treating her like she was something really special, and Quinn knew she didn't deserve it.
I hated that scene so much. Rachel is just so damn selfish and....UGH. And yet, Quinn is the one who only thinks about herself, according to Tumblr. Because clearly she got the Glee club the yearbook picture just so she could be in it, right? And her helping Mercedes when she passed out? GOD how could she be so self-centered?! There have been plenty of other times, those are just the two I always jump to. lol
That is the one thing I have never understood. I can get hating a character AND hating the actor/ress, but hating them BECAUSE OF the character makes no sense to me at all. For all the Finn hate, and yes I have admitted that I am guilty of it on occassion, I have NEVER been able to hate Cory. The day my friend and I met him was the day after that first Lady Gaga episode aired (where he called Kurt a fag) and I would have liked to hate him just for that, but it's impossible. He's just so big and sweet and dorky and ok, yes, insanely hot.

It's small things like that that just make me melt. It's just so perfect. It's so sweet and I just love it all so much. I just... love all the little things about them <3
Oh, but Rachel was totally in the right in that situation, since she wanted to use sex with her boyfriend to better herself and her career :| But yeah, totally. Quinn is the only self-centered one. Because she's never done a thing for anyone else, right? NEVER!
Right? I never understood that either. Do these people just have trouble telling the difference between real life and TV or something? Because that's just what I always figure it is. How else do you explain such... idiocy? Honestly? :|

I miss those little things about them! It's really just now fair, why weren't they given a shot?! With the Puck thing and then Rachel purposely shoving herself between them, they were set up for failure from the very beginning. :(
Well OBVIOUSLY you're first time is incredibly important, but not quite as important as you're acting, so as long as that's what you're using it for, it's ok to tell you're boyfriend (who's actually trying to make it special) that you just want to "get it over with". That's cool. Yeah, Quinn is such a horrible bitch. Honestly? As much as I ship Quick, and despite all the other lies she told, I genuinely believe that when Quinn told Finn her first time should have been with him, she meant it.
It's just so sad. Maybe if Cory's acted like a douchebag in real life I could understand it, but he's just such an adorable dork. And so honest! Most people hire publicists to hide the stuff he openly and frankly admits to, and good for him for doing it!
