The only coherent thought that I had during that scene was 'take the hoodie off!!'

[lookninjas]

That's more coherent than I was capable of being.

Blaine's wardrobe from here out should consist of fingerless gloves and sweat.

[lookninjas]

Agreed.

He's actually doing quite well in his geometry class (after three years, he damn well should be), and his GPA is at least high enough to keep him eligible for football (and to keep him from violating his parole, although that may or may not have lapsed by now). And, you know, what if Shelby rigged things so that he did graduate when he otherwise shouldn't have? That's no better, for him or for anyone.

Incidentally, and even I wasn't aware of this, it's actually illegal for a high school teacher in Ohio to have a sexual relationship with a student. No matter how old.

I don't know -- I don't necessarily expect the kids to be aware of that, any more than I expect a kid to be aware that they really can't have an equal relationship with one of their teachers (particularly if that teacher is also the adopted mother of their child and controls their access to said child). But if one of the adults find out and Shelby doesn't catch absolute hell? I will be PISSED.

If it makes you feel any better, I do the "But why isn't anyone else

[lookninjas]

Well, but I can even forgive Rachel for not grasping it, I guess is what I was trying to say. I mean, as an adult I have very, very strong feelings about teachers having sex with their students (mostly NO), but I think as a teenager it would have been different. And certainly every teenager I know thinks they're twenty times as mature and capable and ready as they really are.

But yeah. I would honestly love to see an adult hear about this and call her the hell out. I mean, come on. Even Will knows better than that.

And no worries. I didn't realize you were joking, is all.

The choreography for the Trouble Tones is actually really, really smart! http://thevictoriagaga.tumblr.com/post/13639931584/just-so-you-know

I think you should write Dalton Fight Club fic. I will support all forms of this. Especially ones which include Kurt.

[flamingquill]

I second this idea, and would be SO EXCITED to see this, because OMG. You would write that so well.

Now to the perhaps questionably appropriate part of this threadcrash (?): In related news, Weeds, I have a rec for you (just in case you haven't seen it, and in the interest of your support for all forms of it). Because Kasey is just that quick.

[lookninjas]

No, trust me, I would not write that well at all. Which is why someone else needs to do it.

(Paging robotsfighting, robotsfighting to the white courtesy phone for a fic request...)

[lookninjas]

Actually, that is really smart. I retract my statement.

Can I still hate on the bubble skirts, though? Seriously, they're not flattering to anyone. And they're not period -- they're fifties, not seventies.

(I can't write it, is the thing. I wouldn't even know where to start. That's why I need someone else to write it for me. Seriously, I even try to think about it and my head goes blank. How do you get Dalton boys in a fight club? I don't know how.)

[mary_flanner]

What do I have to do to get you into that fic today?

[lookninjas]

Honestly, like I told crown_of_weeds, I don't know how I would write it. I just can't think of a way to make a Dalton Fight Club work in my head. I'm sure someone else could, and it would be genius. But for me, I'm just... complete blank.

I could maybe write Blaine and Puck having weird punching-bag bonding sessions, but I think that's about as far as I could go.
