gleeeeeee
I'm gonna put what I said on tumblr.
can I just say how THRILLED I am with how they handled the Brittany and Santana thing? It was overflowing with meta, yes, but I think it was well done unlike times in the past when the show has gone overboard with the meta/fandom shit. This was actually a good point, and-most importantly for me-it made sense.
Because while every other Brittana fan in the world was just excited to see kisses, I…wasn’t so much. I couldn’t really see how they would manage to do a first onscreen kiss in a way that it would be both A BIG DEAL!!! and.. not a big deal. Because for the characters, it’s NOT a big deal. They make out and have sex all the time, we just don’t happen to see it.
So bypassing all the politics behind it, I just honestly kept picturing them doing like, the ridiculousness of that first slow-mo close up interrupted kiss-but have that be it. Like, have all this build up and attention called to it, when in reality, they would be kissing ALL THE TIME so why would it be so slow-mo and shit?
But hey, sometimes the writers do it and do it well. And sorry, I think this was incredibly well done, to have the lack of (gay) PDA actually be an ISSUE in the show, and THAT is why the peck on the lips was a big deal even though it wasn’t for the individual characters. THAT’S why the kiss at Breadstix was wonderful, because you actually did get the sense that they do that all the time.
And also on a personal note, I think anyone who knows me at all knows how much I hate the SANTANA IS TOTALLY GAY label thing, BUT. BUT.
I was SO FUCKING HAPPY with how she was in this episode. This is the Lesbian Santana I could always get behind-the one that wanted to kiss her girlfriend in public, the one who pointed out double standards, the one that didn’t give a shit who knew she liked girls.
I am just. I’m so blissed out over them finally letting her be that.
(Even though she’s still bi, tra la la shh)
but yeah, I am currently having a whole bunch of shiptastic feelings about them, and I am honestly kinda surprised about it. fandom has ruined so many things for me, man. I'm glad the show itself has the power to override the assholes.
(in other not-them news, I loved EVERY FREAKIN SECOND of that episode. hkjfdhfjkahfk Puck was hilarious, the Berrys were great, the God Squad, like what?? XD I need Sam and Mercedes to end up together but I'm okay with it taking awhile, Sugar is adorable, I love everyone and everything the end.)
