Well, Schue, if you actually spoke with Kurt rather than AT Kurt half the time, maybe things like this wouldn't happen. *sigh* The man frustrates me.

This was a wonderful fill. Great job.

I thought that writing from Schue's POV would make me like him more. But nope. :P

Thank you :)

There was an AU fic that I started to like him in. Well, it was a many-AU fic. One of the AUs had Burt dying when Kurt was younger and Kurt being in foster care, and Will ending up as a Kurt's foster father. (Terri was dead for some reason.) That Schue didn't make me want to strangle him...

I just don't understand why he does what he does most of the time. The only kids he does right by are Puck (sometimes) and Finn (sometimes). And even then he ends up being almost creepy with his behavior towards them. Even with Rachel, who he no doubt adores, he doesn't handle her in a way that is conducive to her ever actually doing well in life. *sigh*

Hey I remember that fic... but have seemingly lost it. Oh how I miss the days when I used to keep my delicious account up-to-date. The recent lack of Kurt-angst (is it just me?) have left me a wee bit despondent and without the drive to keep it up.

It's almost like the man doesn't see beyond himself -- like he thinks that everything he says is right, regardless of anything else. I really must agree with you on all of those points. I mean honestly, Schue, open your eyes!

This left me feeling bittersweet. I know it was a prompt but it was good to see Kurt asking for help, but it's clear he's still got a ways to go. I loved how Kurt just needed to hear Blaine talk to him and Blaine was there to help him figure things out. I also enjoyed how Finn was a totally awesome brother to Kurt here. I can never get enough sweet Furt moments. And I really like how you resolved the story and Mr. Schue's realization and disappointment in himself. I'd so much love to see more in this verse. Wow, most unsubtle hint ever >.>

"I'd so much love to see more in this verse."

I know, right?

(Seconding most unstubtle hint ever.) ;)

emoryems September 6 2011, 03:42:46 UTC

Haha I like unsubtle ;D makes me want to write more!

I put off writing an immediate review because I knew I was going to reread this story and find even more things I wanted to comment on. Thing is, I could do that forever (read again, find more stuff), so at some point I'm just going to have to buckle down and pick out a few highlights to discuss.

I love that you don't make this easy -- for the characters, OR for the reader. I don't think it's any big secret that Schue frustrates the hell out of me. The best of intentions can't make up for self-centered, contradictory teaching. He has moments of true caring, but so, so many moments of pure obliviousness. I was all prepared to hate Schue in this. And I do... kind of. You DON'T make it easy. He won't budge. He seems less worried about Kurt leaving than how it will reflect on him. But Kurt doesn't tell him. When he knows, he's willing to be accomodating. Should Kurt have had to reveal that part of himself to Schue? Shouldn't it have been enough that he was clearly upset -- upset enough that this normally well-mannered ( ... )

I've read this response SO MANY times... and I always end up grinning.

Schue is... not my favourite character. Trying to write from his POV was bit odd, but I kept thinking "he's always got these good intentions, so he must care" and then I'd be all "but then what the heck was he thinking when he did *this* or *that*" and so on. He frustrates me so much as a character. I just cannot wrap my head around him.

I really want to see some Furt moments in S03. Their interactions have such great potential and I love the Hudmel family far too much seeing as they are fictional. :)

You honestly make my day with your feedback. *hugs* Thanks!!

inyron September 6 2011, 03:18:53 UTC

Nope, still mad at Will. I don't know how you can find out something like that, and have all your thoughts be so self-centered (and don't worry, I'm not criticizing you, I know you were jsut writing him in character.

<3 Great as always, love this verse!

emoryems September 6 2011, 04:18:44 UTC

I don't understand it, either ): Oh Schue, you confuse me so.

♥ thank you :D ♥

How the hell did I miss this until now? (Damn college takes up all my time...)

That's cool, though, 'cause today was a day where I really needed some Kurt-angst to take my mind off of crap from real life, and ta-da! You have provide a rather excellent installment of such! :D

Is it weird that reading this brightened my day even though it's... yeah, not exactly 'bright'? Well, I loved it, anyway.

emoryems September 17 2011, 07:53:26 UTC

I'm the same way with university -- I really want to catch up on all of the awesome fic (I saw you posted one recently!) but don't have the time D:

I'm so, so happy that you liked this ♥ and that it helped make your day better (angst does the same to me) <3
