Glee 3.20&21 - and A Silly - AND! Why I love Threesomes

May 16, 2012 00:26

In which I wax poetics because Rachel Berry is possibly one of my very favorite female characters on television today. (Glee poetics behind cut because I am unsure where my highly-vampire-oriented Flist even stands on the Gleek front)( I just love this girl )

feminism, polyamory, sometimes i channel taylor townsend, meta, flist hearts, gleek shame, tvd: dopplegangers and bffs, kdramas are crack

Wait... You mean, there are people for whom threesomes in fiction are not obvious? O_O

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THESE PEOPLE LIVE!

What I think was just - the MOST adorable part of the story - is that I had been throwing around the phrase "OT3" for a few minutes without any violent reactions... it was "Threesome" that made everyone uncomfortable. I had to explain that I had been saying threesome for a few minutes without them even knowing. So cute!

It's like that time in my Henry James class when I made the claim that Isabel isn't even the point that her cousin and his neighbor (names elude me) are following her around IN ORDER TO BE TOGETHER - and this guy in my class had a total shit-fit! "No - they love her. It's not homoerotic!" Really? Sharing a hotel room for years and following each other and NUMEROUS breakfast scenes and phrases like "there is no one who knows my love/feelings like you do" ISN'T homoerotic? WHY are you in a Masters English class, guy? Read some Eve Sedgwick and then try again. Love triangles are supposed to call your masculinity into question - deal or get out of the room so that we can think ( ... )

Not that I've read the book you're referring to, but I've read The Portrait of a Lady, so I feel qualified to judge ;). People can't read between lines, that's what ( ... )

I love both your Rachel thoughts and your Puck thoughts. Poor kids :).

Thanks!

I have a quasi-Roomie who is a little bitchy (one of those gay men who just... gets bitchy sometimes) and his comments about Rachel last night were just! Just!

SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, OKAY??!?!?!?

What a jerk! Rachel is beautiful. I was just saying to my gf the other night that people can talk all they want about Willow and Buffy tears setting them off, but for me, it's Rachel. When she cries (and oh, does she cry), I totally feel her, and cry too. How's that for some sap!

I love a lot of the characters on Glee (I only really have Finn-hate, because his characterization is so OFF all the time and quite frankly - those girls deserve so much better than him) but RACHEL and Lea are the reasons why I keep watching the show ( ... )
