Misery (Table Banging Version) - Glee Cast (The Dalton Warblers)
‘Nuff said.
i remember back in day, someone said the full version of misery didn’t sound right without the table banging, so someone added it
Happy 31st Birthday Darren! (February 5th, 1987)
u know what’s wrong with tumblr now?? too many kids who weren’t here for glee. y'all have no idea. none of u understand the suffering we went through. the hell. the endless war. u come in here and u try to start The Discourse but u dont get that we already made these mistakes. we already had the discourse and its done now. its over. its all over and u should let it stay dead but u wont and that’s why we all hate u
I was not here for the days of glee but please relay that fandom history
its not history, its blood. i still see it all over this website. the vague posts. the deactivated urls. where do u think the word problematic became popular. where do u think the representational anger started. glee was the hungry gaping void that consumed us all. it said watch us and find yourself. there is someone for everyone. santana is a lesbian and kurt is gay and brittany is bisexual and quinn, god knows what quinn is, she’s straight but we have her say things like “you were singing to finn and only finn, right?” and artie is disabled. mercedes is black and our outlet for body positivity. we are all oppressed by something and we are different and we are outcasts and we are you.
and we fell for it. we watched glee and we related to its characters and we fought its wars until it was too late. until it was nothing but a distorted picture of a parody of reality, a cracked mirror in which our souls were sucked and encased in glass. finn outed santana but it’s fine because he had good intentions. sam was supposed to be gay but we’re bringing blaine anderson in for that instead. the q in quinn is for queerbait. brittany was maybe raped but it was a one liner so who really knows. will schuester was a horrible fucking adult and should never have been allowed to care for children. finn, the white straight boy, did everything wrong but it was narratively presented as right. we turned on each other. klaine vs kum and finchel vs faberry. santana fought everyone so brittana stans fought everyone. character vs character, ship vs ship, blogger against blogger. we fucking hated each other. there was no glee fandom. there were character fandoms and ship fandoms and that is it and our mottos were all fuck glee.
we won every popularity contest, every online poll. we voted our fingers to the bone. we created art and wrote fanfic and made such excellent photo manips they were published in newspapers. we were prolific. we were consumers of the hell we created and we just kept producing more in a fucked up dystopian fandom chain of supply and demand. don’t get me started on the rpf. dianna wore a likes girls shirt on tour and made a statement an hour later revoking it. some people still say heya is real but it’s like a breath of the wind, a sound so bare i can’t quite make out the words.
u asked for history. theres no history, only rage and pain and regret, the image of anonymous with a grey face and sunglasses telling u to kill urself because u thought artie was a dick for calling brittany stupid that one time. this website is a reflection of the hole glee left when it finished taking all it could from us, when the void could not consume anything more, and the posts on it now, the social justice “discourse” that is just giant piles of steaming, unsifted, unrefined shit is from those who refused to learn from us. the history is here and it followed us and we can never ever escape it.
Welcome to episode three of Glee on the Rocks!
In this episode we talk about ACS, Glee’s depiction of masculinity and their lack of consistent characterization, Victor Garber’s new show we’re totally gonna make happen, and, as always, Kevin McHale. Allegedly.
So help distract from your relatives this holiday and listen to our voices!
And in case you missed episode two: just some fake pregnancy and some sadness.
And in case you missed episode one: this is not for schue.
As always, thanks for listening and hit up the ask box and let us know your thoughts on the episode!
the holiday season is all fun and games until you hear the glee version of a christmas song playing at the store. u think your glee days are over??? guess again bitch
there are only two genders: broadway actors who were on smash and broadway actors who were on glee
Today we talk about the lack of anything in episode 2, how Terri deserves a happy ending at Pier One and Anastasia the Klaine Musical. Also, Emily and Mav both have one strike (Mandeh has none).
Welcome to Glee on the Rocks: an unofficial Glee podcast. This is Episode 1: “This is Not For Schue”
Today we’re talking about the pilot episode (S1 Ep1), terrible stereotypes, why most of the adults are bad, and how Kevin McHale is the underrated MVP of the show.
So here’s what you missed…on Glee.
Whatever remnants of the Glee fandom there are I hope you recognise Mark Salling for the pedophile he is. I just checked the tag and you all keep tagging his name in things like nothing has happened. The man who played Puck is a pedophile. Don’t treat him like he’s normal. He was a pedophile during the entire filming of Glee
Sometimes I can’t help but grit my teeth at people who are all “Lmao remember when we all used to be Glee blogs? That show/fandom was so toxic! Embarrassing!” because like
1) Some of us still are Glee blogs and don’t feel shame about that because
2) We accepted that the show wasn’t always gonna give us what we wanted and that the characters would be typical humans who make mistakes so we had actual genuine enjoyment of the show despite some of its choices, something you entitled purist fucks don’t understand.
#glee feelings#same!!!#i had the /best/ time in glee fandom#still do; even though i’m busier and the fandom is understandably quieter#if your fandom experience was toxic you were obviously following the wrong people#glee gave me so much joy and so many amazing friendships and experiences and everything#that i will always feel sad when people say mean things about it or make fun of it like that#yes the show made choices i didn’t agree with#yes i didn’t like some of the plots#yes it wasn’t perfect (nothing is!!!!)#but the show still gave me infinitely more joy and good things#and with all the characters and songs and everything they had to fit into the show#i understood that we weren’t always going to get what we wanted#that we weren’t the ones writing the show#that’s what fanfic is for#i will never feel embarrassed about being a glee fan#that show gave me my words back#that show gave me friendships that will last a lifetime#if you’ve moved on and don’t want to reminisce about the glee days; fine#move on and find something that makes you happy#but don’t come back to insult the show so many of us still love#don’t be an arse#just move on and let it go if it bothers you that much#let us still enjoy what’s left#and shut. the. fuck. up.#/end rant#this has been brewing in me for quite some time #and this post brought it all back to the surface (via @afterthenovels)
These are The Best Tags.
Today in Glee history:
Santana’s fake driver license expires.
Every Breath You Take (Glee Cast Version) [snippet of unreleased song from season 3 sung by Sebastian and Kurt]
WTF IS THIS REAL ARE WE OUT HERE LEAKIN OL DASS SONGS WHERE IS IT
I don’t want a Glee Reunion movie. I want a Glee Entertainment Weekly Reunion Photo shoot - where they’re all 20 years older, and middle aged, but they can still hold themselves the way the did back when they were kids and on the show. And they’re all smiling and happy because, fuck, it’s been twenty years - and they’re all successful - and who cares about the minutia of how it was, they’re happy to be together again. And we can write the fics again, cause lord knows I don’t want Ryan Murphy touching those characters again.
I want Darren in his Warblers costume, and Naya in her Cheerios costume, and Lea can be holding a hairbrush as a microphone. And Chris will have a smirk of - why am I here again? But it’ll be perfectly Kurt. And Amber will be laughing, and Kevin will be giggling, and Mark probably won’t be there, but that’s okay. And in the corner there will be a framed photo of Cory. And Jane Lynch will have a Microphone and will be yelling into Matt Morrison’s ear. And Jenna jumping up from behind someone to be seen. But it’ll all still be amazing.
Today is a reminder that we are a family, no matter if the years pass by and glee is over. We love you Cory, forever. Thank you for touching our hearts the way you did it, and still. Be safe guys, always. Remember, you’re not alone in this world, no matter why, no matter what. You are so special, and nobody have the right to tell you otherwise. If you need someone to talk send me a message, more than happy to help. Love you my dear gleeks. And for the people that doesn’t like glee or never watched it, it goes the same. You’re special, one in a million, we all are. Please take care of yourselfs guys.
4 years today. You were such a light and touched so many lives. I’ll always remember when I saw a girl tweet, “Tell your idols you love them because I don’t have mine anymore” and that’s stuck with me. You were enough for everyone. We wish you were here. ❤
my wonder woman!brittana feels wouldn’t go away so…
