And my lameness continues...

Will/Rachel is still causing hearts to emit from my eyes. It's quite sad, really. BUT THEY ARE SO ADORABLE. And tonight I just had to rewatch ep 2x09 purely for their sexyhotunf fight where Will tells Rachel to "TAKE THAT OFF!!!" He throws papers and everything! And Rachel looks scared for one split second! And after he lists her many

Obviously, because who am I, I'm just here to thank you for acknowledging the perfection of Rachel/Jesse, heh. I knew he was perfect for Rachel when he said "I picked the Stephen Sondheim biography section for a clandestine meeting place because only he would be able to express my melancholia." OH MAN. You magnificent bastard. I felt like he and Rachel really understood one another and she was able to be herself with him in a way that she's never been able to with Finn. Finn tolerates her crazy. Jesse embraces it and has his fair share himself. Damn you "Theatricality"/"Funk" episode switcheroo fuckery. I'd be happy if Finn and Rachel never got back together because the relationship does nothing for either character. I'd honestly like to see Finn and Quinn have a little something again, or at the very least have some resolution for their break-up because there was basically nothing after "Hello".

I don't think Rachel's ever been more herself in season 2 than in the last two episodes. Which is sad, because I've been hearing that a lot of people were liking Rachel more in season 2... except for in those two episodes. YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND RACHEL BERRY PEOPLE. PERFECTLY CRAFTED CHARACTER RIGHT THERE. Oh, Will/Emma. I remember those halycon days when I shipped you. No more, no more. Nevermore.

I don't think I even realized how much I loved Jesse until he was gone. Whyyyyy did his relationship with Rachel have to be a ruse? WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN LEGITIMATE? WHY WHY WHY DID HE CRUSH THAT EGG ON HER HEAD? Ugh. Jesse is the only dude that I felt could fit Rachel as well as Will can (or better, actually, since he was the same brand of crazy that Rachel is).

And, good lord, there are people who prefer season 2 Rachel? Are they insane? She was practically lifeless through most of it. I know that fandom hates her, but I disagree with fandom on pretty much everything, so this shouldn't surprise me.

If you want to read a "fill in the blank" fic that somehow reconciles all of the narrative nonsense that went on with regards to Rachel/Jesse in the back nine (including his random absences and the egg-smashing of awfulness), than I can't recommend your dirty mouth full of honest lies enough. I can't wait until that kid's magnificent face and hair are back on my TV.

I will always love Rachel Berry, but the only time I actually enjoyed her and Finn together this season was in "Duets" because their scheming was kind of adorable. Otherwise, she was Finn's Girlfriend instead of herself. I had to turn off "Britney/Brittany" during Rachel's song to Finn because it was so gross and embodied everything I dislike about the pairing (basically Rachel apologizing to Finn even though he was also/more in the wrong). I hate hate hate that the Christmas episode tried to make it out like Rachel was the only one who did anything wrong and Finn was the victim. Um, no. So many feeeeelings. But in those two episodes Rachel went back to being the glorious, vulnerable diva that she is and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I would honestly prefer it if for the rest of the season they just developed her awesomesauce friendship with Kurt.
