I LOVE ACAPELLA THIS IS WHY TAKING AWAY THE WARBLERS WAS SUCH A BLOW TO EVERYTHING THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THIS SHOW / EVERYTHING THEY WERE FINALLY GETTING RIGHT
disclaimer: i don't even like this show most weeks because the characters are annoying and the writing can be so awful it almost makes me feel like i could be a screenwriter and the acting is bad 90% of the time
BUT SOMETIMES (MOSTLY WITH DARREN CRISS' HELP) THEY GET IT RIGHT
i mean really. this whitney episode aside, let's not pretend this performance

was anything but a-fucking-mazayn and i don't even mean the singing but pulling off acting while singing. i mean, whoa, how often do we see that happen on this show (hint: NEVER) ffs, darren, way to show up your castmates. no but really i just wept through that whole thing because HIS FAAAAAAACE.
and i was willing to write that off as a one-off fluke because i've always been a fan of blaine, but not so much of darren criss - he's always just seemed so overrated - but then IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK WITH HIS STUPID FACE AND ITS STUPID PERFECT EMOTING WHILE HE WAS JUST SITTING SILENTLY IN A CHAIR IN GLEE CLUB WATCHING HIS BOYFRIEND SING A (not-great) RENDITION OF AN APOLOGY SONG AND THEN HE GOT ALL WEEPY IN FAKE THERAPY (and let's not even get into how much that bugs me, emma is probably the worst counsellor in the line-up of terrible tv counsellors/therapists (seriously, i could write an essay about how disparaging all this is to my future line of work and how it could impede people with actual problems from coming forward BUT THAT IS ANOTHER ESSAY FOR ANOTHER DAY THE POINT HERE IS DARREN CRISS' PERFECT FACE))
still suffering from ~emotions~ from that scene, i can't. i love that they're being all healthy and talking about it and hashing things out and - just -- everything about klaine is perfection and i ship it so. hard.
ummm also i have an exam in 3 days and i'm not ready for it at all and if i cared about it half as much as i care about darren criss and his stupidly perfect emoting face i would be all set. alas.
