"Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic

So I wandered over to TWOP for the first time in ages, and pretty much everyone is saying "Oh yeah, Klaine is definitely not going to happen. It's O-ver." How disheartening.

[weyrdchic]

I hate using perjoratives like "insane" but I cannot think of a better word. What the hell is everyone else watching? What the hell do they think real love is?

Blaine was at his most pre-hiatus self last night, and even THAT isn't enough? Does nothing please anyone?

[mary_flanner]

Oh, I was so, so, so happy to see pre-hiatus Blaine again. Because I love him. I love him so much I've wasted a big chunk of my life writing stupid stories about him because that character was so damn intriguing that I had to get in his head. It's embarrassing, now that I think of it.

Also am I the only one who thought the look coming off of Burt at the end of the garage scene is "this kid is absolutely unreal, and someone needs to give him some juice and a therapist, and also he is completely in love with my son."

[mary_flanner]

Actually, the garage scene is one of the major points people are making in the "friend zone FOREVER" argument. Because he talks about Kurt fooling around with other guys. Which, yeah, good point. I just hope whatever happens, happens before the last of the audience's good will is spent. People seem to be turning on Blaine in droves, which, considering how much weight they give audience opinion, is bothersome.

It also doesn't help that they (the show) are still being weird about Sam. Almost every episode has some sort of "He's gay!" joke. I would be all for Sam turning out to be The Boyfriend. The awkward nerdiness would be painfully charming. But if they aren't going there, I think it's just kind of confusing. Cute and funny, but confusing.

And no, nothing ever makes anyone happy ever. C'est la vie.

Which, yeah, good point.Weirdly, that's what made me MORE sure of Blaine's feelings being in a romantic direction. Because When Harry Met Sally, remember? Blaine clearly sees Kurt fooling around long before anything ever happens between them - as tons of fanfic pre-hiatus already said, all the damn time. But he's viewing that from a place of such protective, over-invested concern. I felt more than ever that there was a wall being thrown up there, Blaine trying to be responsible and mature and give Kurt over to what he believes he needs rather than what Kurt ACTUALLY needs and wants, which is Blaine. I can't imagine platonic friends imagining those scenarios and having those conversations, hints of mentorship or no. This is all too important to him for that. And it's crouched in so much of that "I'm not good enough, I'm not the right one, but Kurt is so Special

[mary_flanner]

I see that side of the argument, but remain skeptical. I'm trying to keep out how much a freaking want this to happen and be objective, but it's just not happening.

I agree with you, though. That's why I think all it's going to take is some kind of pants kick for Blaine to be all "He deserves someone to treat him with love and respect and protect him and--oh hey, I could do that."

It's *hilarious* how much this parallels me and my husband getting together. Our mutual friend was listening to me piss and moan for the jillionth night in a row about how *mean* girls were to him and he's so wonderful he doesn't *deserve* that and we need to find a nice girl who will love and respect him and treat him like the precious flower he is when she suddenly snapped, "God, Mary, why don't *you* just go out with him, you care so much." And I went WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? Rest = history.

[weyrdchic]

That is such an incredibly sweet story, and I'm so glad it led you to your husband - so much giggling about how you told it, too, seriously

[mary_flanner]

Oh, hon, that's just the half of it re: Mr. Flanner. We met and I made the exact same face Blaine does when he turns around on the stairs in Never Been Kissed. But then there was this business with damage and sadness and a mean girl and I friend boxed him and even made a spectacular ass of myself going after a stupid much older guy I just liked to like someone and...sigh. And there were some very Kurt-like hang-ups about self image and Blaine-like hang-ups about faking confidence, and seriously, it's like watching the last decade of my life happen to gay teens. Every week I get a little more weirded out. I certainly hope they end up with an awkward but sweet marriage proposal and a doofy toddler, too

I think a juice box a non-Emma therapist are exactly what he needs.

Maybe a good boysnog.
