I Don't Want To See Any Of You Hanging Out With That Dryer.

One too many threads on fandomsecrets has caused me to snap and write a lengthy, rambling entry on Why It's Okay To Like Blaine Of Glee (But It's Totally Cool If You Don't), it appears. Whoops!

Comments

I actually came to comment with something about how much I hate the wank over at Fandomsecrets sometimes.

But now I just want to tell you how much I feel 'Kum' vs 'Skurt' is a perfectly valid reason to not like a pairing XD

[rionaleonhart]

People take everything so seriously over there! (...well, I say that, but I'm the one who wrote a thousand words in response to a few people making comments about a character, so...)

'Skurt' is charming! 'Kum' - well, having a 'ship name that's a play on a sexual term is automatically going to put me off the 'ship, because I'm much more about the relationship development than about the actual sex. And clearly the fandoms for pairings I don't even 'ship should take my personal preferences into consideration when choosing the 'ship name. I mean, that's just obvious.

[arguingvitality]

Oh of course. There should be carefully planned meetings and committees to deal with this sort of thing :p

That's precisely the reason why i really don't like Quinn/Sam very much as a pairing - Sam turned up, was pretty and suddenly they were a couple. Wham Bam Thankyou Ma'am. I do harbour the secret wish that all the Sam is he/isn't he gay stuff comes back and he turns out to be a flaming queen, but maybe that's just me ;-) I love love love Kurt/Blaine but i also love Kurt/Sam - plus, I want Kurt back at Mckinley, dammit! In conclusion; yay Kurt :-D

[rionaleonhart]

Yes! Quinn/Sam seems as if it has the potential to be awfully cute, but it's difficult to exploit that potential when the characters got together approximately three seconds after meeting.

I selfishly want Sam to be straight because I'm so very fond of Kurt/Blaine and therefore want to avoid Sam as a potential complication. It would be sort of brilliant if Sam turned out to be an ex-boyfriend of Blaine's, though.

UST is such a big thing for me. It's why I felt cheated by the canonical Jack/Ianto pairing in Torchwood

This. A thousand times this. I totally 'ship it, but I'm still irked by the fact they totally glossed over the fact that in "Cyberwoman" Ianto tells Jack he actually hates him and literally wishes him dead. Or wishses to kill him.

I'm not saying everyone has to like Blaine; I'm just a little tired of feeling judged because I happen to like him.This also. I also like Blaine

[rionaleonhart]

Exactly! Something certainly happened in their relationship between 'Cyberwoman' and 'They Keep Killing Suzie'; why weren't we allowed to know what that was?

Possibly Kurt/Blaine is criticised because it has the potential to work so well; a lot of people seem to feel that it's boring. Which is fair enough! But it's not the only valid reaction, and it troubles me when people who don't like it seem to feel that people who do are somehow wrong.

I'm not in Glee fandom, so I just have one very important question:

What's the shipper name for Kurt/Blaine? Blurt? Kaine? Is it as awesome as "Puckleberry Finn"?

Also Quinn/Sam --> "Quam" sounds amazing and I will be crushed if that name is not actually used.

[rionaleonhart]

The fandom seems to have settled on 'Klaine', which is not as funny as 'Blurt' but which I find I like more than I generally do portmanteau 'ship names (just as well, as the Glee fandom is obsessed with its portmanteaus). Nothing's ever going to beat 'Puckleberry Finn', though.

Quinn/Sam is indeed referred to as 'Quam'!

[traincat]

I, for one, find both Blaine and Kurt/Blaine very charming! I. Their scenes are just so cute, okay. So cute. Sit there and watch with my hands clasped together and a big stupid grin on my face type cute.

[maplelump]

This.

[rionaleonhart]

Come to think of it, I could have condensed half this entry down to this. They are adorable. I have trouble getting through any one of their scenes without clasping my hands over my heart and making stupid noises.
