Actual fannish content!
So today, preparatory to the move, I hauled HRH Neville, Shiny Lord of Chaos, over to stay with 
abka and Co. until I have an actual apartment, on the theory that (a)
kass's elderly sweetheart Thorn does not need a 15-lb whippersnapper all up her business and (b) moving him only once, before the moving actually happens, will minimize the trauma.
Anyway, this prompted a drive across Vermont and back. Which left me with a thought experiment. Assume a universe in which Blaine Anderson, as we know him in Glee canon, is in possession of the X gene. What is his power? It might be something very small; I can't imagine every X gene mutation is worth writing home about. (My mom had an extra earlobe, you know?)
For those of you who are not familiar with the magic of Blaine Anderson, I include a couple clips below to give you an idea of his potential gifts (which include a healthy dose of Beyoncé, apparently). I am not entirely aware how "massive adorableness" translates into a superpower, but it should.
Yeah, I know he doesn't sing on that last one, but come on: FLUFFY FREDDY MERCURY.
Oh, and here he is making out with Kurt at a wedding, because adorable.
So, is adorability a superpower? Or does he just have toes that light up, or something?
