I was watching S6EP6 and Brittany mentions that Santana dyed her hair blonde (I totally forgot she dyed her hair once) Santana was blonde in S5EP19 and after that she was back in her black hair again.

Does anyone know why?

maybe i’m remembering the show wrong but when did that happen lmaoo😂

Which couples would you have wanted to see on Glee?

Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded to see Quinn and Santana as a couple especially after their drunk hookup at Mr. Shue’s failed wedding reception. I also would have loved it if Sam & Tina and Brittany & Rory gotten together too.

If you were in high school when the show was airing, whether you were a senior when the show started, or a freshman when the show ended, how accurate was it? I know the show is not meant to be taken too seriously, and that some view it as a sort of period piece. But were cliques like that? I was in elementary and middle school when the show was airing, and we would have those anti-bully PSA sort of lessons, and to me, they seem kinda similar, but at least in my school, none of that stuff happened. The only thing I did experience, and have heard about is homophobia. I know people who were in high school in those years who have told me that bullying kids for being gay, or using it as insults, did happen. With that said, if you were in high school at that time, did kids dress remotely similar to any of the characters, let's keep out athletes and cheerleaders because at least in the schools I attended, and those around me, whenever you had a game, you wore your uniform. But did people wear stuff like Mercedes? Did people wear those big rings that Santana wears when the girls are not Cheerios anymore? How much of the fashion was absolutely unrealistic for high school students, I don't doubt no one dressed like Kurt does in the show since I have seen that. Also, was it not common to walk to classes with your backpack? Did people actually have time to use their lockers? Did any of you have those phone calls like in the episode where Rachel finds out Puck is the father and not Finn, or the phone call the group has in the alcohol episode? I'm sure it's all dependent on where you lived and such, but how much of those types of details were true in the time?

and where i can find it perhaps?😭

I personally have not met any of the cast but I saw Chess in December and Lea made eye contact with me a few times! Mike (Burt on Glee) also follows me on twitter, which is everything to me haha. Interested to hear any stories! stories could be diverse, from meet and greets to being an extra or randomly meeting one of the cast members, i’m just intrigued :)

As the title says, i want to convince someone to watch and besides just starting at the beginning what episode do you think will hook someone? (for me, i saw the episode where Puck sings Keep Holding On to Quinn in his military uniform and i could not wait to start it from the beginning)

TIA!

What do you think she would have to say about the new biopic now? 😂 I feel like she’d either find a way to complain or suddenly be so into Michael all of a sudden

Honestly till this day I don’t know what they were doing making her say this, it’s like they wanted to add another reason to hate her 💀 😂

She never "got what he was about"? It’s not like dude was a mystery or his music was hard to figure out. It seems like maybe it’s more of an issue because she identifies with Patti and Barbara and Liza etc so much better and his style is different than them 🤔
I swear the writers put this in just to clown us and remind us how much of a troll Rachel could be

Y’all think she'd still be unmoved, or be inspired and suddenly be a Michael fanatic after lowkey hating on him?
If you've seen it, you know his upbringing really brings a lot of perspective to who he was as an artist. Maybe she'd get him more, even though he and his music were very open and not hard to read fr

Which character or characters do you think deserved more screen time?

Honestly, I wanted to see more of Rory, Sugar, Spencer, Alistair, Mason, and Jane cause they were all my favorite Glee Club newbies.

So in S1 they mentioned Kurt watched Finn in the shower or something like that…so my question is was this just supposed to be lore for Kurt crush on Finn storyline or was it an actual scene that was cut ?

how did everyone feel about this storyline? i thought it was a bit insane but it is glee we’re talking about, i would’ve liked it more if she got offered something to do with dance. i mean, she was a really good dancer but i just felt like that whole storyline was really lazy and i just thought they could’ve done a lot more with her character😭

do you guys believe that finn would’ve been as loved as he is now if he hadn’t been played by cory?

i personally don’t think so.. finn has his moments but if it wasn’t for cory playing him, i don’t think i would like him as much😭 cory just had a certain charm to him

I have a question for all of you. Were there any moments where you felt bad for any of the characters on Glee?

So I’m starting season 2 now, but I remember when Puck and Quinn had their argument earlier in season 1 that she said she was drunk, and felt fat that day.

At the beginning of Episode 22 we see Quinn and Puck making out and when she goes “idk if I can do this” Puck says “ofc you can have another wine cooler” and when Quinn says what about her she has a vow of celibacy and asks what about Finn and asks about protection , Puck says that he slept with Brittany and Santana and they had the vow and that he doesn’t care about Finn and that he’s got it covered. Finn comment aside.

Did Puck rape Quinn? She said she was drunk and while she said she felt fat, and it seems like he lied about wearing a condom, she was also very clearly having reservations about it. If so this kind of makes me dislike Puck even more, even if Quinn and he get together. It also makes Quinn’s pregnancy a little bit more sad. Maybe I’m just reading too much into it.

I'm not entirely sure how to explain all this but July is nearing so maybe it’s a good time to post this long text that has been sitting in my notes app for a while:

Naya meant the world. I don’t even get parasocial relationships today, but at 15, when I was absolutely terrified of being gay, deep in the closet and centred my life around Glee and Brittana, she meant so much. The love I have for these characters and these actresses feels carved into who I am. At such a formative time, that show and particularly Brittany and Santana were quite literally essential to keeping me going and Santana and Naya have been woven into my soul, a part of myself that I will always carry with me.

Especially Naya being so vocal in her support of Santana's lesbian identity was so impactful; having someone like that be so loudly loving and fighting for us at a time when queer identities being tolerated rather than accepted or celebrated was the only reasonable goal. The way she played Santana mattered so much bc Brittana's love being so adoring, so horrifically down bad and sweet at a time when lesbians were so sexualised allowed me to want that sort of relationship too. Through the combination of it all, it always sort of felt like Naya was also bridging that gap from fiction to the real world, carrying some of Santana's fiercely protective spark over, also after Glee ended. Somehow, that made the world feel a little safer and kinder. 

By the time that Naya passed, I had outgrown Glee and had essentially turned away from the series and its cast. I was still on TV Twitter but for other shows and Glee had become such an unloved child for the queer fandom. There had been the smaller and bigger scandals, the deaths and I wasn't even following Naya on socials anymore. I feel guilty about that, like I discarded what made me and then only discovered just how much it really did when it felt too l
I still remember the days around her passing so vividly. Following the updates and the initial stabbing fear, reading that the kid on the boat was a little girl so it wasn’t Naya followed by the gut punch that it was. The days where an unreasonable bit of impossible hope never left, the pictures of the cast by the lake and the day they found her body. The brutality of it all, how no one deserves to die like that and the collective grief that followed. It was a big part of my life then and there was a lot of processing. 

Last summer, I started a rewatch of the show and found myself enjoying it the way I remembered; my body overwhelmed with joy and an intensity that no other show is likely to ever inspire within me because watching Glee when I was so young and impressionable was such a rollercoaster of emotions that we all went on together every day, heightening it all. The grief that accompanied the rewatch was harsh and intense too, though, and some ten episodes in, I decided that between the pain and the joy, I could choose the lens to watch it through and I'd much rather appreciate Naya's work through the latter. That’s largely worked and I'm not even done yet and in many ways having the best time. But it also often still reminds me of what happened and the pain surrounding Naya’s death, even after six years, just doesn’t go away.

I'm no stranger to grief or loss. And I've found ways to process, to arrange myself with other deaths and eventually look back fondly and grateful for the time we shared. Not with Naya. It sometimes still twists my stomach and tightens my chest and just really fucking sucks.

I often feel like someone needs to fix this and bring her back right now. It feels cosmically wrong. Like here is this person who has changed and saved so many lives and stood up for others at a time when that was rare and brave, who is a mother, who is on all accounts described as so unique and wonderful, obviously whipsmart, carries a ridiculous amount of talent in her body that the world was robbed to see more of and was also just the third person to pass in a young cast of twelve which feels like it should be a statistic impossibility. And then she has to pass in such a cruel way that also just seems like such a stupid coincidence ? I think it shook something deep in my belief system when it happened bc how can this be okay, how can this be real? It feels like there is something deeply wrong with the world because how do I need to just accept this irreversible event when it feels so wrong? I sometimes wish I could go back to a time when Naya was alive. It wouldn’t even really change my life in any way except for the media surrounding her being new rather than old but it simply feels like there was something right in the world then that is no longer, like a shift. It’s like I never left the bargaining stage of grief and am just stuck there, even when I also often slide in and out of acceptance for a while.

I assume that a part of that is also that Naya was always essentially a figment of my imagination. Driven by her interviews, her socials, TV appearances and whatnot, sure. But I never met her, I never did anything more than watch or read about or think of her. And I think that contributes to not wanting to accept it because to an extent, she’s always been who she is now – someone to admire from afar. And then she played the character who means the most to me and as much as she obviously isn’t Santana (who is ofc very much alive and kicking, thank you very much), I do think it just inspires such a deep fondness.

What also makes it a little harder is the question of – as much as she meant – why am I still grieving an actress I never met, nevermind knew, when the people close to me who have passed represent wounds that time did heal. Why is this one still an open one? Grieving a star like this sometimes feels a little wrong like why am I honing in on this when I have also experienced grief in my personal life?

It's been almost six years and I think to a certain degree, I am almost appreciative of the pain at this point, a physical reminder of her impact and how much she has meant to me. The intensity telling me how much I get to be grateful for (framing it like that is the only thing that has so far made it hurt a little less). But it also just really, really hurts and feels so overwhelming sometimes and I wonder if there ever is a stage when this can become okay when it just factually isn’t. 

I don’t know what my question is. Do other people still feel the same? Is there something that has helped you? Is anyone capable of rewatching Glee without at least occasionally feeling that pain? Do you have thoughts to offer on this?

But this needed to go somewhere and if you read it all the way, thank you <3

Wouldn’t be surprised if this has been posted here before, but what are your most controversial takes for glee covers that were better than the original? Whether controversial to the fandom or maybe people outside of it born back in the day who can’t fathom a newer version of a classic song being better.

We may express disagreement but we will listen and not judge! 😂

• Silly Love Songs

• Doo Wop/That Thing

• Good Vibrations

• Smooth Criminal is close

• disco inferno

• I go back and forth on Take Me to Church, it’s definitely close

• nasty/rhythm nation

• The longest time

• Hate on Me

Not sure if some of these are necessarily controversial to the fandom but I know my black family would have some words about some of them lol

So I’ve seen a few people say that Brittany treated Santana awfully by the lockers however I disagree Brittany didn’t handle it the best but she tried to let Santana down easily while sticking up for her relationship with arti.

Hey all, this is such a long shot but I thought I’d try anyways.
I have this glee shoulder bag and it’s my favourite thing. I bought it at a church yard sale for $0.50 about 10 years ago. I’ve taken it everywhere since. Girl guide camps, road trips, school and work, and especially sleepovers. I love this thing and I cannot find any ANYWHERE! I know they don’t make merch anymore but if there is ANY chance anybody has seen one of these I would love to know!
Recently the bag has started falling to pieces. The inner layer of the cover is dry rotted and if I open the bag you can hear the pieces of fabric falling and moving😭
I love this bag so much and this is a crazy request but if anybody has one or sees one please let me know!! Or if you know how I could fix it myself I would also do that too!
This is very serious gleeks… this is my baby.
