I've honestly stopped trying to understand all the Blaine-hatred. Trying to understand it and reason with people who are determined to hate him just makes me angry. Not to mention the people who bash Darren or his acting -- someone on Tumblr a few days ago was going on about Darren's acting being "terrible" in this episode, which completely baffled me, because I thought the last two episodes were the best acting he's done all season.
I really don't understand the people who are saying that Blaine only started showing interest in Kurt this episode because Kurt was being bitchy at him and Blaine can't stand not having everyone fawning over him. It wasn't about that - it was about Kurt challenging Blaine and pulling him out of his comfort zone. How anyone can look at the way Blaine interacted with Kurt this episode and see anything less than a boy who is hopelessly and desperately in love is beyond me.
This was so amazing. About halfway through I realized that I was still reading someone's argument but you wrote it so well that I wanted to stand up and fight with you.
You pretty much said EVERYTHING that I felt. And what I do felt, you made more beautiful. :)
I love this, it pretty much entirely sums up my thoughts on the whole thing, and is a wonderful argument for the original post.
I LOVED how this was done. I loved how, to me, it's very much the way a teenage boy would do something. It's not randomly falling in love for his own benefit, it's suddenly becoming aware when he was oblivious before. That was amazing.
Oh, this is wonderful. I think I wrote about three paragraphs discussing this, but I've deleted them because it got a bit ridiculous and frankly it didn't sound right. I want to print this out and cover it in glitter/hearts/dolphins.
I WAS TOTALLY GOING TO STOP BUT I WANTED TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST ABOUT ONE THING THAT BOTHERED ME IN THE ORIGINAL META. XD SO HERE'S A BIT I SAVED. SORRY.
Also the comment in the original about 'King Blaine' and his 'weary noble' act. What. I may be reacting to that because the entire 'for crying out loud stop putting it all on me thing is somewhat similar to my current situation (except instead of being a star singer, I get to play mother) and I'm totally feeling Blaine's frustration at that point. XD Admittedly I had a BRIEF moment when he announced he wanted Kurt to do the duet with him that involved the thought "Oh dear god are you doing a Rachel and 'sharing'?". But then the adverts came on and my tired brain was given a chance to think and no, he wasn't doing that. He was doing what any caring

"And when Blaine stops performing, when Blaine becomes the supportive role and just sits back and feels?
Blaine realizes he’s been in love with Kurt all along."
YES! You state it so perfectly. All of this. I want to *hug* this essay! =D
