Ooh! Hello! I'm Emily :)

Okay, so the green thing. Basically on Glee there is a correlation between certain colours and certain emotions/stages in characters. For example red=having power and blue=a complete lack of power. Green, though, seems to be used to represent change, or characters who are changing either themselves or others, or situations that change people. Examples: Rachel in Firework, Hummelberry on the Wicked stage, Sue at the beginning of TPOM.

So with Rory, he was green because he was essentially given the role in Pot O' Gold of changing everyone and everything. (Brittany gave him that role, you could say--which is something else again.) And it wasn't easy, because it's really hard to change people like that, constantly be change, when you have no power, and wouldn't it be nicer to be power (Red)? Which, yay, he gets at the end anyway.

(And the end is when he starts to REALLY change people. Unrelated but: my theory is Rory does have real magic, but he's not leprechaun!magic, Brittany *made* him a leprechaun through her magic and that broke his own powers until she released him... BACK ON TOPIC NOW THOUGH.)

So with Blaine and magic... Okay, well the funny thing is, and this is assuming Weeds hasn't told you about it? Because she might have, and if she has then sorry for explaining again. Anyway, the three other people who have commented on this post, crown_of_weeds , naderegen , and narceus , and I have been doing a whole bunch of meta on the magic thing and we worked out that actually pretty much everyone except Will has magical abilities or archetypes that they fit into (like, best examples are that Puck is literally Puck the sprite, and Rory with his magic, etc etc.). So intially Blaine was a Ghost (because Dalton=faerieland/underworld, he had to *die* to get in there), but we also worked out that he's a sort of medium... thing? Like, he channels other people's emotions through song and up until 3x02 never sang his own feelings. (Afterwards is another story, but I AM WILDLY OFF TOPIC AGAIN BECAUSE WE ARE TAKING ABOUT GREEN).

If I can find the original thought train here... Yeah, what I was trying to say was that the magic doesn't come from the green (though the green probably helps in some way by changing you etc), the magic comes from all the suck that is WMHS and Lima and Gleeworld and being treated like crap and the absolute need for Dreams to get through it all. Coping mechanism...?

And THEN, because I am long winded and whatnot, I just wrote about Blaine and green to an anon on tumblr, so there's that! http://needsmoregreen.tumblr.com/post/12596179099/ Basically.

Thank you for asking, also a pre-emptive apology for this rambly mess! I hope it helps?
