Character: Blaine Anderson
Series: Glee
Character Age: 17
Canon: Glee is that show about scrappy misfits just looking to be accepted for who they are via singing songs about feelings in their high school show choir. While the main group has to deal with being the bottom of the social heap, another school exists in the Glee-verse where bullying isn’t tolerated, and singing in the glee club is like being a rock star. Blaine Anderson is the golden boy soloist of that particular boys school group -- charismatic, energetic and handsome, he’s like a gay, private school Prince Charming.
Although violently bullied at his former public school, you’d never guess by meeting him that the seemingly out and proud teen ever dealt with anything unpleasant. Naturally commanding the attention of those around him, Blaine exudes an easy kindness and dapper charm, despite a tendency towards misspoken sentiment, questionable advice and accidental insults. He’s so smooth, in fact, that even over the top ridiculous gestures like reminding someone their mom is dead at a bird funeral, or getting a guy he’d had coffee with twice fired by serenading him with a totally unwanted flash mob, come off as simply well meaning and earnest. Thankfully for Blaine, he’s sort of hard to hate, no matter what private school utopia has allowed him to forget about the real world, or how obtuse he can manage to be.
*Blaine has a history of performing at theme parks, specifically Six Flags.
Sample Post:
Marcy, let me be the first to tell you that no matter what anyone says, you’re beautiful.
Love will take more than one attempt, but don’t let that get you down, alright? Sometimes it just takes a really fantastic musical number, and other times you may find you need to confess somewhere unique and interesting like a retirement home or even maybe during times where people’s emotions are at their peak, like when they’re sad or under great personal duress -- which I expect is pretty common in a place like this. Surprisingly, that doesn’t always work, but you’ll hit the mark eventually! One small word of advice though, sneaking a tentacle up a stranger’s trouser leg isn’t going to work on most guys -- but who knows, Marcy. Maybe if you do that to the right one for you, he’ll think you hung the moon. Probably not though, so it’s best to find a different tactic.
Now, the other thing you have to remember is that the people we care the most about don’t always notice, even if you grope them when they accidentally come too close to the lake. Pining after the guy you like while they scorn and ignore your advances can also be painful, I know. It might even make you feel lonely and isolated and question your worth as a person. Don’t get down worrying that it’s because he thinks you’re unattractive, some guys are just superficial. It’s not something you should take personally, you’re stunning Marcy, really. Come on now, what did I tell you about the tentacles? I’m flattered, but you should really save that for the person you like. I still don’t think it’s your best plan, but that’s your call, and I love the enthusiasm! You’re going to make some lucky guy really happy, I know it.
Also, while I think it’s great that you’re so different and unique, it might not be a bad idea to try and blend in a little. Don’t get me wrong, Marcy, I’m sure there are tons of great people out there who can’t wait to meet a girl like you, slimy tentacles and all, but in the meantime it couldn’t hurt to try and make falling for you a little easier. Maybe keep them underwater for the first impression, just as a thought. Hey, don’t look so sad! I’m not saying I think you’re unattractive, I’m just suggesting that it couldn’t hurt to ease people into the reality of being a sea monster.
Oh man, look at the time! It’s been great talking to you Marcy, but I’d better get going if I expect to find the summer performance rehearsals. You guys are running the strangest Six Flags operation I’ve ever seen, but I’m really excited about how friendly everyone has been today, despite the working conditions. I’m so fortunate to have made a friend so fast, and such an affectionate one! Maybe if we get really lucky, we’ll be working alongside each other! Then I’ll get the chance to see firsthand how you put what I’ve told you to use on whoever the lucky guy is. I’m sure he won’t even know what hit him.
