DAY OFF TOMORROW, WOOHOO! Uuuuugh, I am so tired. This was a busy (and mostly bad) week. I am so happy that it's finally over. Of course, this next work week has a lot of late nights, so... not happy about that. UGH.

Am I still shipping them? Shoot, woman, they were my LJ header for the last month or so (but then I switched back to Jeff/Annie, because damn it, they worked their way back to being my favorite). Anyway, yeah, I freaking love the idea of Will/Rachel, and I'm pretty sure I always will, even when the show refuses to give us any scenes between them because it is too focused on Will being a douche about Emma and Rachel being a sad sack about Finn. But see, Rachel and Finn broke up at the exact same time that Emma married Carl, and it just made sense that they'd console each other and bond through their broken hearts. Rachel even invited him to her house for Christmas! And when he refused, she went to his place! LOOK AT HIS FACE:



Clearly this is love. CLEARLY. The show is just too stupid to realize it. But dude, wouldn't Glee be twenty times more interesting with a scandalous love affair between Will and Rachel? Only... it wouldn't actually be an affair, just a lot of repressed feelings and quiet longing and mistaken unrequitedness and OMG, IT WOULD BE SO EPIC. SO DAMN EPIC.

I miss the first half of season 1 so much simply because the show was about Will and Rachel back then. And the characterizations were fairly consistent. And the stories were fairly interesting. Now... it's just a terrible train wreck that I can't turn away from no matter how hard I try. Even when Gwyneth Paltrow is making me gag.

PS
tinted_glass totally ships Will/Rachel, too. JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD INFORM YOU.

Ok, so I missed the whole month and a half of crazy Rachewill (that's so much better than any portmanteau for them I've ever seen, which makes sense since I made it up. I think) header because I haven't been on LJ in ages. But I hear you. Basically what you're saying is that since the last time I looked at your journal, you're still fucking mental. ;)

But rather than just tell you how fruit loops you are, I'm going to just have a reasonable, logical discussion about how much I don't like Shueberry (there, did it again. It's tough being Queen.)

FIrst, the age thing. I have enough of a problem not feeling totally freaked out by the fact that these aren't really high school kids kissing, bumping, grinding, etc on each other. Don't even ask me about my three second Cory Monteith crush that was like, frighteningly close to a breakdown before I realized he's like 28 in real life. (That's still too young for me, sadly. But this is about Glee, not me - so few things aren't, it's hard to concentrate sometimes.)

So for them to be an item is just....icky to me. She's supposed to be what, like 16? And he's like.....a douchebag. Sorry, I don't care what age he is, or if he looked like Gerry Fucking Butler on his best non-bloated days. He's a total fucking douche. They made him so full of sanctimonious bullshit I find him totally unlikeable. I'm so on team Terri even though she's a crazy, neurotic, insecure bitch from hell (I find I can relate, which is really odd.)

And the same with Rachel. Not only did they make her unlikeable to me, they made her weak and spineless. It started in S1, but went into overdrive in earnest when she got egged in the parking lot. They (the writers, and I use that term loosely) don't seem to LIKE Rachel. But the last ep I could stomach watching was the one where they get mono, and seeing Rachel THANK FINN for liking her even though she's ugly was just like, WTF? WTACTUALFUCK?

First, she's just as pretty as Quinn, if not moreso, just different looking. And second, SPINE anyone? Finn is also on my shit list, but that's a whole 'nother comment.

PS tinted glass totally worships ME too, but that doesn't mean she's not batshit crazy too for liking these two as a pair.

Oh, you silly Bunny. I ship them in a "OMG, that would be totally messed up but oh so hot" kind of way, where they are so freaking drawn to each other because they are basically the same person and they do bring out each other's finer qualities and call each other out on their shit, and Will is completely immature and makes the wrong decision EVERY TIME, which makes a DIRTYBADWRONG affair between them completely plausible, but then Will's conscience also makes random appearances from time to time, so naturally he'd put a stop to it and it would all be so tragic because eventually Rachel would realize he was right and kind of hate him a little, and then years after she's graduated they connect with each other again and legitimately fall in love and get married and have singing babies. IT WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL, OKAY?

And I 100% agree with you about that mono episode. That ep was a perfect example of why I hated the crap out of Rachel/Finn.

[15lbpurebunny]

Re: The mono ep? RIGHT?!! He used to be cute, Finn. He used to be cute and sweet and slightly (SLIGHTLY) clueless. Now he has two speeds: 1) Stupid as a Fucking Brick or 2) Heartless, Cruel Douche.

And sometimes both at once. (Probably a more realistic version of high school males, but still....not something I wanna watch on tv.)

I see what your'e saying about the hot/wrong part. I guess I could get with that if I could actually get myself to like either character. Or find something remotely attractive about either one of their personalities. I just find them repulsive, so my would-be-inner-ship-machine doesn't even get a blip on it's radar.

There was a time where I thought Finn and Terri would be epically hawt, but then she disappeared....right around the time Finn turned into an asshole.

SIGH.

[firthgal]

Do you like any of the characters? JUST WONDERING. I find them all pretty repulsive, and yet... I love them anyway. Well, most of them. I started hating Finn when he became such a douche to Rachel. And I am not a fan of Rachel when she's in a scene with Finn, but otherwise I find her to be totally enchanting. Like, she's frustrating and self-involved and ruthless and an egomaniac and a total control freak, but she's also completely vulnerable and she has a huge heart and she is entirely self-aware and she is driven in a way that I wish I was, and just... I love her. A lot. Even when she annoys me. Will, on the other hand, I pretty much always hate, but he's the only one who knows Rachel inside and out. He says the right things to make her believe in herself or to let her realize that her star isn't any less bright when she lets the others around her shine, and he's helping her grow into the person that she needs to be. And Rachel knows him inside and out because his flaws and insecurities are almost always the exact same as hers, and his strengths are her strengths. And when Will is around Rachel, he's... actually kind of a good teacher, especially in their one-on-one scenes. And when they fight, they are freaking hot. I'M SORRY, I LOVE THEM. Sometimes I think I ship Lea Michelle/Matthew Morrison more than I do Will/Rachel.
