I want to watch this episode about a thousand times. Blaine is truly generous; he really, really is. He's got a big heart. This is the episode I needed to make a lot of my headcanon fall into place, and I just want to take this ep to the state fair, win a bunch of fairway games for it, give it a giant St. Bernard plushy toy and cotton candy and funnel cake and a bouquet of daisies and kiss it goodnight after we dance by the light of the moon. So much love for it, and for you and your great meta.
I am blushing like crazy, and your meta and your writing has always been fabulous too and I'm thrilled to have met so many awesome people through this fandom. ♥ I'm so sorry I haven't taken a look at your latest, with all the Blaine hate going on all over the damn comm I just seriously could not handle it, but I will totally pick it up now and I am dying to see what you do next.
DON'T READ IT YET. Let me get the next chapter up. Next chapter is 100% Blaine, Kurt and Burt. Honestly, I think I've been portraying Blaine as been trying to be a good friend, just mixed up, but that's frustrating for some readers (I gather, from the comments). He's getting his shit together in the next chapter, and I think it'll put you in a much better headspace than the current chapter.
ahaha, ngl, i haven't fully read the last chapter precisely because i need your blaine to fall back upon. it was also around the time "sexy" was released, so my entire kurt headcanon shifted that week. even though you wrote that chapter before "sexy", i kept projecting "sexy"!kurt into the story and ended up feeling horribly discombobulated XD
I didn't think the writers would be able to rival Santana's love confession so soon, but oh, how they did. "Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you forever." I just - god, I'd melt so badly in real life if someone said that to me. And Kurt's increasingly hopeful face throughout that entire scene, and when Blaine confesses, "You move me,"* Kurt jerks/gasps and it's like - he sort of guessed where this was going but actually hearing it is something else entirely and ;alskdjf I LOVE BOTH OF THESE BOYS. Blaine's awkward "OH MAN I HOPE I DIDN'T SCREW THIS UP" after the first kiss. and ngggh, the second kiss was even more surprising and beautiful and hot and a;ldskjf THEY MET IN THE MIDDLE.
*can I say how much I love that it was "You move me" and not "I love you"? This is a straight out confession from Blaine that Kurt has rocked his foundation.
My favorite part was how Murphy (MURPHY, YOU GAVE US SLS AND THIS. I LOVE YOU) brought back all those bits of pre-bullying-got-too-much Kurt and let them shine - the bitchiness, the

brought back all those bits of pre-bullying-got-too-much Kurt and let them shine - the bitchiness, the emotion, the clothing - and it's only after seeing all that that Blaine has his realization.
Oh god, THIS. I think it is INCREDIBLY symbolic that Kurt wasn't in his uniform when Blaine had his moment.
i love how even in deep grief, kurt can still take a swipe at blaine's solo-hogging.
the thing about this scene that gets me every time was how it was such an... inversion. watching blaine sit and join in as chorus gave me an honest-to-god shock the first time i saw it because, even though intellectually i knew he wasn't singing lead at all, it was a completely different experience seeing him take the sideline on a group number. and kurt's outfit -- it causes him to own the room because it's so distinctive amongst the sea of blue. I LOVE THE WARDROBE DEPARTMENT except for the ND costumes.
also, complete sidenote: I was watching the episode with my sister, and when Kurt handed the cassette tape, my sister asked, "Who still uses those these days?" THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, KURT. Why are you sitting around with cassette tapes of acoustic guitar? Lolll, he totally got Puck to record the piece before he drove back to Dalton.
I think that's as much symbolism as the outfit, too - and I LOVED the costuming choice, absolutely, alsfjalfja - of Blaine being the one to sing backup to Kurt for once, because Blaine, who is constantly performing, who sings his feelings, who is always on on ON, finally got to sit back and just BE. And when he sat back for a moment, sat down and turned himself off and just watched his best friend be amazing instead, instead of feeling jealousy or offense he realized that he was pretty damn in love with him. I mean, holy shit.

Your meta. It makes me complete, too. I can say nothing to add to it.

I misread this as "king bitch star in a cage," and holy shit, yes to both statements.
