Congrats on writing the best cisgirl!Blaine I've ever read. Wow.

Oh wow really??? That makes me really happy :3 I definitely had to think about what cisgirl!Blaine would be like for a while and it was hard, but I'm glad it ended up working out haha

There's something about it that feels so Blaine in a way I don't always see in stories in this genre.

Really fond of this:

(Sometimes she thinks she's five times older than her age and she's trying to make up for it with bright colored tights and headbands with bows on them.)

And now you have me thinking about cisgirl!Blaine. Do you think she would have jumped to the Troubletones after Finn didn't like her advice for ND?

^_^

That's probably my personal favorite line of the fic.

Oooh, that's something to think about. Honestly, I think it would depend on what cisgirl!Kurt would do in this situation since Blaine's goal in canon was to make Kurt's senior year ~~magic. Also I think you have to consider how Mash Off would change things because maybe they don't switch at first, maybe they do it later. Would cisgirl!Kurt (or even cisgirl!Blaine) see herself in Santana more after she slapped Finn and yelled about being outed, given that they're both lesbians? Would it bring the entire situation to a different level and it's not just a matter of not getting enough of the spotlight (which would be a believable reason for Kurt to switch groups)? Would cisgirl!Kurt and cisgirl!Blaine be upset and scared and disgusted enough to switch to the Troubletones? I DON'T KNOW! What do you think?
