Kurt, Blaine, & Mercedes for your ask thing! If you don't mind doing so many at a time lol
Not at all! I’m excited to answer! Okay so...
Kurt’s mom was absolutely Aphrodite. He doesn’t have charmspeak but he definitely has some of the natural beauty of Aphrodite kids. His “powers” also somewhat come from Aphrodite’s origin as a war goddess. Really all he can do is leave a battle/sing-off without a hair out of place. Sometimes he gets upset at how useless his powers feel compared to others, but he still loves his mom and he and Burt always knew who she was.
Blaine’s father is Apollo. He’s just a child of sunshine and that’s literally Apollo’s shtick. He got his musical ability from Apollo and a very small level of healing powers. Blaines got a little bit of bitterness for how Apollo left his mother to fend for herself after ditching them but he doesn’t really hold grudges all that well.
Mercedes I also said was a child of Aphrodite. I think she has the absolute smallest level of charmspeak and it only comes out when she’s extremely passionate (typically when singing). She definitely struggled with her place among her siblings. It took a while for her to see herself as as beautiful and powerful as the rest of them. Because some of her siblings are mean, but Aphrodite definitely at one point told her how beautiful she is. Because Mercedes is the real goddess here tbh
The first thought Ruby had before she fell to the floor was somehow not about the body in front of her. No the first thought she had when she fell was, Oh brothers, how am I going to tell Yang?
The second thought was, that person was—
“Ruby!” Blake quickly rushed to the floor to comfort the hiccuping girl.
“That was-“ Ruby took in gasping breaths as the tears poured down her face.
“It wasn’t a person anymore,” Blake gripped Ruby’s shoulders tight pulling her to meet eyes with the Faunus. “Ruby you can’t blame yourself for this. Whatever that thing was, it wasn’t human anymore.”
Ruby shook her head still struggling to get enough breath into her lungs. Anything to keep breathing, enough to speak. To make them understand what she understood.
“No, no that’s-“
“Ruby, you can’t take this on yourself,” Weiss fell to the floor beside her partner, gripping her hand to try and steady the younger girl.
“No! That’s-that’s not what I’m trying to say! That wasn’t just a person, it-“ the pause had both ex-heiress and Faunus leaning forward to take in what Ruby said next, “it had silver eyes.”
As Ruby lurched forward to throw up the meager contents of her stomach on the marble floor, Blake and Weiss shared a look over her hunched form. In their eyes you could see a terror befitting the situation. Only one sound was made after that, and it was a tiny gasp of an “Oh” to come from behind Weiss’s raised hand.
I’m in a Lover mood again so it’s time to combine it with my other current hyperfixation, Glee. I’m sure this has been done before but here is how Glee would fit each song (by each song I mean only the ones I listen to) from Lover into their plot.
I Forgot That You Existed
This is the one song that I’ll give entirely to Rachel. I straight up want Rachel to sing this when her and Finn are breaking up/fighting. I don’t know which one but I’m thinking something also involving Jesse would be good. Ooo It could even be Rachel saying a personal goodbye to Jesse after the egging? Idk I just want Rachel to sing this about one of the boys she’s been with.
Lover
This would be a finchel duet and it would be cute but I actually want it to be a quartet. I am Klaine trash so this could be really cool to have in The First Time. As you’ll be able to tell from this list I really like Don’t Speak and The Scientist so the couples having mirror storylines and singing in quartets is like crack to me.
The Man
This would either be a girl Power mid episode number Ala Madonna, or a really weird decision for Unique. But RM constantly was making sketch choices so I could absolutely see him pulling something like that. Could be girl number at one of the few points they were all single??
I Think He Knows
I want Quinn to sing this. I have no idea what the context could be? Maybe when she’s cheating on Sam with Finn could work pretty well. Yeah let’s go with that.
Miss Americana And The Heartbreak Prince
This one would probably never be covered but I think it would be a good Quinn song. Quinn for season 1 when she’s having problems with Finn. It could be a good dream sequence song type in Preggers.
Paper Rings
I, like most of the Klaine fanbase am obsessed with the Box Scene. I want this to happen the episode after the box scene so it doesn’t intrude on the Christmas of it all and be a number with Klaine Tike and Finchel. This could also be the number that prompts Finchel to get engaged. It would be so cute.
London Boy
Season 4. Kurt and Adam get a song. That’s all. It probably in the snowed in episode where we got come what may we get Adam prompting Kurt to get a song for them and this comes on and they just laugh. In terms of staging it’s very intentionally very similar to Cold Outside. All in all the mid game New York romances needed more development so that when we got rid of them people cared. We also needed them to have flaws and to see the relationship not working out so when we got the original pairings back it didn’t seem like people were settling.
You Need To Calm Down
This would be a big walk down the hallway all glee club number and Kurt would get the line, you all know the line, and we would all debate it’s merits but listen to it a lot because this is right up the alley of Loser Like Me and Don’t Stop Believing for that young hopeful Glee sound. It would probably end the episode.
Me
OKAY BUT THIS AS A KLAINE DUET WITH DARREN SINGING BRENDON URIES PART. Okay so I know that’s not going to happen, but it would be so good for Klaine. In real glee it would be a Finchel duet and it would fit pretty well but I want it to be Klaine. As a Klaine song this would be really good if they had done an episode in season three addressing the schools reaction to having a gay couple in the hallway. Cause with as much flak as Kurt got on his own it would be an interesting arc if they actually addressed the fact that pda is dangerous for them. That would have been a much better use of episode time in season 3.
I’m sure this has been done before but
Sorcerer’s Stone
“I’m new in town, and it gets worse.”
Chamber of Secrets
“We found a pool of the killers blood in the hallway. Ooh gross! Mop it up! Now back to my hunch.”
Prisoner of Azkaban
“We’re gonna frame you for murder! And you’re gonna go to jail for 30 years!”
Goblet of Fire
“I also don’t want to be doing what I’m doing.”
Order of the Phoenix
“I’m so horny and angry all the time.”
Half-Blood Prince
“Whoa! You just killed an old old man!”
Deathly Hallows Pt1
“Do all my friends hate me? Or do I just need to go to sleep?”
Deathly Hallows Pt2
“And that’s the end of that story, but how f*cked up is that, right?”

“Prejudice is just ignorance, Kurt”
An analysis on Finn Hudson and “what the hell house is he in” -prompted by @grouchycritic7794’s comment on my Kurt post
First off there isn’t a chance in all of the nine circles of hell that this boy is a Ravenclaw. Not because he’s dumb, but because he doesn’t see any value in wisdom. And I’ll be the first to admit that S4 Finn was (mostly) wise. But our boy has no wit or care for knowledge. So Ravenclaw is the easy out.
Slytherin is another easy out in my opinion. His entire S3 struggle was about how he wasn’t as ambitious as Rachel and early S4, had it been given the proper dedication, would have been him accepting that that’s okay. That he doesn’t need to have insanely huge dreams to be of worth. Some might claim, “But Lo! By your definition he admires ambition so he should go in Slytherin!” (Yeah let’s be real most people aren’t saying that, but) This is true, I do say that they need to have the traits of the house in high regard. However, they need to hold it in the same regard that they would try to act on it in their own life. The perfect example being Neville, who admires the bravery of others and uses their example to build himself. So, in the case of Finn, Slytherin is out.
Now onto the harder decisions. Yes Finn is very brave and chivalrous. Most of his character arcs revolve around him choosing the untraveled road, the path that takes more bravery. And he was fairly chivalrous with various people in his life. Not the best but not nearly the worst of Glee. However I see his bravery as a subset of his larger character growth, I would even go as far to say he was only brave in defense of the people he was loyal to...
Hufflepuff. So I know there are going to be objections. Objections about how he is lazy and unkind and doesnt fit the soft puff mold. I will never agree with many of the words and decisions Finn has said and made, however Glee was always trying to show that he was learning. Glee was just somewhat bad at their jobs. He was a kid who had been with the wrong crowd for years, he was the standard American way to look into this group of weirdos and learn how to empathize and accept them. Sometimes they did it right and he came off as a good man and a hero. Sometimes they did it wrong and he came off as trite and even worse than before. But at his core he was a child learning who he should be loyal to. He was loyal to the jocks until he realized that they didn’t deserve that loyalty and then he mostly committed to glee club (rewiring everything you’ve ever been loyal to is a hard process). When Quinn is having his baby he is trying his best to be hardworking so he can support the family he thinks he’s going to have. And after the anger at Puck they still make up, it takes time because as a Hufflepuff who’s loyalty has been tested he’s going to have troubles trusting them. As a teacher at McKinley he shows the best of his Hufflepuff qualities with his dedication to those kids, and though he had stumbles along the way I truly believe he is a Hufflepuff.
How did that get in there?
ABC is so amazing and exactly what glee is supposed to be! They are all having so much fun and making everyone else have fun. The choreo isn’t overly complex but it looks clean and good and the split solos are so much more accurate and fair and beautiful sounding. If they had just did this from the beginning uggggg
Kurt’s faces of “why am I friends with these people” “Blaine? Blaine don’t you-”
Why am I attracted exclusively to himbos?
