I don't get why everyone is making such a big deal out of the
crushes, especially the Blam one. I think that Glee did a pretty good
job in portraying the whole thing and I actually enjoyed it.
Let's talk about Blaine first. I've read some posts that regard his crush like it means that he was getting over Kurt and how wrong it is. There were several subtle hints that this is not the case. I kinda felt the vibe that Blaine is just looking for something or someone to ground him.
The scene between Tina and Blaine in front of his locker was my ultimate favorite because of all the messages it sent. At the beginning, when Blaine opens his locker, his eyes are drawn IMMEDIATELY to the pictures of Kurt he keeps there. Then when Tina, she says "You miss Kurt and you're looking for a place to put your love",you can see him swallowing hard after it. So yeah, not over Kurt after all.
But my favorite part is when she says "your very human but very moving dilemma", THAT'S the core of it. He's human, no matter how perfect he seems or how collected, you have to remember that he's just an 18 year old who is prone to make mistakes and have feelings. Honestly, and take it from someone who's very fragile emotionally, the crush makes perfect sense. When your world shift on its axis and you start to fall, you're desperate for someone to pull you back and it CAN result in you latching onto that person. That's what's happening between Blaine and Sam.
I don't have a problem with both crushes, but I actually understand Blam, Blina not so much but Blam? HELL YEAH. And it doesn't degrade the relationship because it's not Blaine being horny, it has NOTHING to do with physical attraction. Sure Blaine does think that Sam is cute and all that but he doesn't have a crush on him because of it, he started depending on Sam emotionally and it developed into a crush THEN he started seeing him as attractive. This isn't him meeting someone for the first time and going "Man, that guy is handsome, I have to have him", that was him getting attached to the one person who cared.
Sam was the only one who cared about him when he was suffering, the only one who made an effort to reach out to him. He didn't condemn him or take a side, he was a true friend. So yeah, Blaine crushing on him actually makes perfect sense to me. Also, I'm excited about how the situation will help him grow. The only other love interest we're seen other than Kurt, was Jeremaiah and that was very brief and didn't hold any weight.
But now to have one of his close friends crushing on him while he's crushing on his best friend? He has to learn how to deal with it,how to work through these feelings without destroying his friendship with Sam and Tina. That's growing up. I mean, look at Kurt, Mercedes crushed on him then he crushed on Finn then on Sam, not to mention the mini crushes on Cooper and the Spanish teacher. And you know what? he came out stronger and his relationship with all three ended up going fine. He got a best friend, a friend and a brother out of the deal. Blaine WILL get two best friends out of it so yeah, I'm all for it.
I think we put Blaine on a high pedestal and expect him to be perfect and we deem anything that's less than perfect "out of character". I'm super excited to see how Sam will figure it out. I'm not worried that it will damage their friendship and I think they'll come out stronger.
