Double standards in judging Blaine

I really don't understand the amount of hate thrown at Blaine lately. Every time anyone talks about Klaine or about Blaine as a person, the answer is always "he cheated". I know that I'm gonna make a lot of comparisons here but there is a hard case of double standards that is driving me nuts.

I'm not trying to say that Blaine is a perfect little angel who can do nothing wrong. He made a horrible mistake and hurt Kurt deeply. He totally deserved Kurt shutting him out and refusing to talk to him. I get all of that and I think it's only fair but why is he being treated like the devil incarnate? He's an 18 year old boy and people make mistakes, teenagers make mistakes. But that one mistake doesn't erase every single good deed he's ever done, it doesn't define who he is. It doesn't change the fact that he had been there for Kurt when no one else was, or that he loved and supported Kurt for more than a year.

I admit that I'm a Blaine stan but I also love Kurt to death. I have no doubt in my mind that Blaine truly loves Kurt. There is no sugarcoating Blaine's cheating but it was a lapse in judgement. It wasn't Blaine being horny and deciding to wreck his relationship with Kurt just for kicks. He was hurt and confused and yes, he made the worst possible decision in this situation but he had done everything in his power to atone for it and he apologized to Kurt time and again. What I'm saying is that Blaine has certainly earned our forgiveness

Now let's talk about the double standards in this fandom. People are hating on Blaine so much and calling him a cheater. Okay, Correct me if I'm wrong but more than half of the characters on Glee have cheated at some point or another. Quinn, Finn, Puck, Rachel, Mercedes, Sam, Brittany, Santana, hell even Will cheated, and no one has ever shunned them the way they're shunning Blaine now.

People are saying that Blaine doesn't deserve Kurt because he hurt them. Let's take a step back from Kurt's romantic relationship and look at Kurt's relationships with the rest of the characters. HummelBerry is being hailed as a wonderful friendship, right? Well, if we really stopped at everything Rachel had done to Kurt, we would have never been able to even remotely tolerate Rachel. This is the girl who ran against him in the elections despite not really needing the extra resume boost and actually told him in BIOTA "who cares about you buddy?" when they disagreed on Blaine's sexuality, she went after a boy whom she knew for a fact that Kurt liked. But we forgave her because she also looked out for Kurt and loved him.

And there's Finn, the guy who pretty much called him a fag and guilted him into backing out of his duet with Sam and didn't stand up for him because he was worried about his reputation. Again, we forgave him after he started being a real brother to Kurt.

So if we managed to forgive Rachel and Finn and Puck who was tossing Kurt in dumpsters, and Santana who was making gay jokes right in front of Kurt. God, even Karofsky who bullied, hate-kissed and threatened Kurt's life, was later forgiven.  We've forgiven all the characters  so much crap because we accept that life isn't black and white and that people screw up but in the end, all of the characters are good people and they try to make up for their mistakes and for every mistake, you'll find a good deed. Isn't that what happens in actual life? I mean, I just talked about people who have hurt Kurt only. I haven't even touched upon all the other things the Glee clubbers have done to each other. If we can forgive all of the others' mishaps, why can't we show the same courtesy to Blaine?

Because he is a cheater. Let's talk facts here. He was insecure and felt like Kurt had forgotten him, he went straight away to Kurt and confessed to his cheating, he was genuinely sorry about it and we've seen how much he was suffering. I'm not trying to downplay his cheating but could anyone please tell me how many people on the show  had the decency to fess up to their cheating? How many of them were sorry because they committed the act and not because it got them in trouble or blew up in their faces?

Exactly three people confessed to their cheating and only two were remorseful. The first was Rachel who told Finn about kissing Puck but she made it like a quid pro quo situation, Finn lied to her and she kissed Puck so now they're equal. The second was Mercedes who confessed to Shane that she kissed Sam and she was torn up about it even before telling Shane, and the third is Blaine. And please don't tell me that Rachel and Mercedes only kissed other guys while Blaine slept with Eli because morally speaking, cheating is cheating, no matter the form.

So why is Blaine being treated like the worst human being on the face of this earth again? Why do we love and defend characters that have done the same mistake, if not worse but refuse to cut him some slack?

Kadamers attacking Klaine

I just read a very interesting post that was sort of comparing Klaine to Kadam and I just can't. I get that the note was addressed to Oliver and it was about how Adam was a good character and all, but the comparison was just insane.

The note said, and I quote: "When did Blaine ever make Kurt feel special; it was always about what Kurt need to do for him- where Adam always lights up in his soul around Kurt through Adam's eyes the mirror to the soul"


Let's start from the top, what did Blaine ever do to make Kurt feel special? Count with me, will you?

• He was there for Kurt when no one else was, Kurt's own friends didn't notice his struggle but Blaine, a stranger that didn't even know him, picked up on it and went out of his way to help him, even driving to Mckinley to help Kurt face his bully.
• When he was telling Kurt about how he felt, he gave this beautiful heartwarming speech followed by an incredible kiss that made up for the fact that Kurt's first kiss was taken from him, the whole scene went down in TV history as one of the best.
• He insisted that Kurt duet with him at Regionals, picking a song with " a little more emotion"
• He supported Kurt when he decided to go back to Mckinley and recruited the Warblers to serenade Kurt in front of the entire school.
• He went with Kurt to Prom despite his fear, supported him when he was elected Prom Queen and even stepped up to dance with him in front of the all the homophobic idiots that were trying to break Kurt.
• He transferred schools to be with Kurt.
• He supported Kurt when he was doubtful that he would get into NYADA.
• He took a slushie for Kurt
• He supported Kurt in his decision not to dress in a drag for Nationals
• He encouraged Kurt to go to NY when he saw how unhappy he was

Yup, Blaine never made Kurt feel special. He was a terrible, terrible boyfriend. And what was that about Adam lighting up around Kurt? We saw the guy in two episodes where he had less than 10 minutes of screen time. I'm trying hard to find the "lighting up" part but I'm coming up with nothing.

Another quote: "Adam's serenading song was about accepting unique things about a person where as Blaine's was superficial". Yeah, sure, a songs about butts that objectify women just screams uniqueness to me. I mean look at lyrics like "that butt you got make me so horny", "to hell with romancing", "I just can't help myself, I'm acting like an animal", "if you want to roll in my Mercedes, then turn around and stick it out", those are just SOME of the lines of the oh so incredible song.

Now the so called superficial song, Teenage Dream. The songs is about acceptance and love and support, about loving everything about your significant other. Yes, it does include lines like " the way you turn me on" and "put your hands on me in my skintight jeans" but it doesn't just speak of a physical aspect. Teenage Dream has lyrics like " things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life", "my heart stops when you look at me" and "my missing puzzle piece, I'm complete". So yes, some of the lines were about physicality but the whole songs just screams of love and devotion.

Comparing the two songs just highlights how utterly ridiculous Baby Got Back is so please, love Kadam\ Adam all you want but if you think for a second that putting Blaine\Teenage Dream in a comparison with Adam\Baby Got back will work in your favor, or try to make it look like Adam is the perfect fit for Kurt by demeaning Blaine and Klaine, then you really won't like the comparisons WE will make. And do NOT get me started on the desperate move of trending "Klaine is Abusive " during I Do. We have two years of history and love and devotion under our belt, Kadamers have two episodes and a "sort of dating" status.

4x14: I Do

Here is what you missed on Glee: Emma can speak really, really fast, Will needs a resounding slap to wake him up, Rachel and Brody proved just how dysfunctional and unhealthy their relationship is, the Ryder\Marley\Jake triangle just became really weird and creepy and Kurt kept a mantra of : "Blaine and I are friends" which he didn't seem to believe, Blaine didn't seem to believe and we sure as hell didn't believe.

That was one of my favorite episodes, hands down. I felt bad for Will when Emma left him at the altar but the guy was seriously getting on my nerves. His idea of helping with the wedding was to take care of the entertainment? He just dumped the whole thing on Emma who was clearly cracking under the pressure, but hey, he had Glee club which is far more important than his own fiance and wedding. Emma's runaway bride act might have been too harsh but at least it had the desired effect, it was certainly better than my solution which consisted of hitting Will over the head with a frying pan.

Have to say Jayma Mays blew me away. She nailed her all of her scenes and made me feel everything Emma was struggling through. I have no idea how the hell did she manage to lip sync to Not Getting Married Today but she did, and it was amazing.

I like Jarley but things are getting a little ridiculous. We've had three episodes with them just dancing around each other, then an episode when they became official, and another episode about them exchanging I love yous and now another episode about them sleeping together which ended up not happening? Do we really need to see every single milestone in the relationship happening in front of our eyes? And Jake, for God's sake wake up. Ryder knew Marley's favorite flower, he bought her a gift and he came up with the idea of serenading her and Jake still thinks that's just Ryder being a good friend? And the only thing that clued him in was how Ryder looked at Marley during Anything Could Happen? Did Blaine infect the entire school with his obliviousness or what?

I don't know who RIB had to bribe at FOX to show us the Klaine make out scenes. We actually saw Kurt straddling Blaine, two kisses, Blaine tugging at Kurt's shirt and Kurt rubbing Blaine's chest and the two of them using coats to hide their arousal. Are we sure that we're still watching FOX? We didn't change the channel by mistake, did we? I was afraid that the writers would make it as if Kurt cheated, and I was really happy that this was not the case. Klaine scenes were the highlight of the episode for me. Chris Colfer did such an amazing job in portraying Kurt's confusion, I felt like his heart and body were steering him toward Blaine, but his head was doubtful. And Blaine, sweetie, you have been spending way too much time with Sam if the "Bros helping bros" line is any indication.

I have no words to describe We've Got Tonight and the montage during it. It was utterly beautiful and so well played. Now I tend to notice strange things but I can safely say that Finn and Kurt must be scarred for life. Taking the girl you love into a hotel room only to be faced with your brother taking the boy he loves into another room must be the very definition of weird. The fact that the brothers' rooms were actually next to each other just made me burst into laughter, talk about awkward.

All the post sex talks were very good but I didn't like the fact that Rachel snuck out before Finn woke up. The Klaine post sex talk just sent me into a Klaine-induced coma for a whole day. Blaine was just so sure of himself and of his feelings for Kurt that it made my heart flutter. Blaine was fighting for Kurt, plain and simple. I swear Kurt and Blaine can have a whole conversation and convey a million different feelings only using eye contact and small touches. The way Blaine rested his head against Kurt's for a second, the little smile on Kurt's face when Blaine said that Kurt was pretending that this doesn't mean anything, and the look of vulnerability on Kurt's face that turned into a smirk and a whisper of "I'll see you downstairs", you might miss it in the episode because it was for a split second but go look at gifs of that scene. Kurt looks like he's searching Blaine's face for reassurance that Blaine won't hurt him again then taps into a cocky persona to tease Blaine. The thing the hit me the most about Blaine was how happy he was in the entire episode. He was joyous and at peace and I'm just grinning like an idiot now, remembering it.

Kurt and Tina's conversation was incredible. I was cheering Kurt on so hard and the " Did you vapor-rape my ex boyfriend?" line was EPIC. I kinda felt that Kurt and Blaine went a little easy on Tina but the part of me that like the Blina friendship made me let it go. And Tina saying that Klaine were two soul mates rediscovering each other kinda put her in my good books again. I totally loved that Kurt kept repeating that Blaine and him were friends as if trying to convince himself. The smirk on Blaine's face when Kurt repeated it for the THIRD time at Mckinley was priceless. It was like he was thinking "Sure Kurt, keep telling yourself that"

Brochel just became the most toxic relationship I've ever seen on Glee. I had a huge problem with Rachel not telling Brody about her and Finn. I don't like the concept of open relationships and if it was okay like Rachel made it seem like, then why did she lie about it? But of course that was swept under the rug when the biggest WTF moment happened. I mean, I have wanted to slap Brody ever since Naked but him being a hooker was just too much. I'm officially disgusted now, that whole relationship just makes me shudder now. I wonder what Rachel would do when she discovers that the could be-father of her might be-baby is a prostitute?

Anything Could Happen was my favorite performance. This kind of performance is what Glee is about. The joy in the performance, the comfortableness in the way the ND danced together, the way it was used to show camaraderie to Will who is in a bad place, it was just perfect. And I loved the way they were all dressed. Yes, I'm the strange person who fixated on what the characters are wearing, just go with it.

4x13: Diva

Here's what you missed on Glee: Mr. Shue figured that leaving the wedding planning resting solely on Emma who has OCD was a perfect idea, Rachel finally stopped being Lea Michele and started being Rachel Berry again, Blaine was basically sexually assaulted in his sleep, Kurt continues to look devastatingly handsome in whatever he wears and the best way to win back your ex-girlfriend is by bribing someone to pose as your pretend girlfriend, at least according to Santana.


Thank you merciful lord that Rachel became Rachel again. I mean, sure Rachel makes me want to rip out my hair sometimes but at least she is someone I know, instead of the strange mix of Rachel and Lea that we've been subjected to since episode 3. Both Chris and Lea were awesome in that episode. I especially loved their talk in the kitchen and how Kurt informed her that he blew the high F on purpose. Glee, meet continuity. We love it when you two get along.

Brody is seriously pissing me off right now. Just go away Brody. You make me miss Finchel and I'm not even a Finchel fan. The irritating wonder twins were...well, irritating. Kurt winning the midnight madness was the highlight of the episode, especially since I've been rooting for him since I listened to Chris's version of Bring Him Home which made me sob like a baby.

Nice job with Adam too. Kadam scene was good and I liked that Adam is giving Kurt support. One thing though: my Klaine loving mind couldn't help but compare the difference between Kadam and Klaine while dealing with someone attacking them. I've always loved that Klaine didn't just jump to each other's defense at the drop of a hat. I felt like each respected the other as an individual capable of fighting his own battles. Of course, they were there to support each other but neither needed the other to fight his battles for him. So while I love sassy Kurt, his threat to the wonder twins over Adam's Apples felt kinda weird.

Santana's conversations with both Sam and Brittany were very realistic, even if I really don't get or agree with what she did in the first place. Santana was the one who broke up with Brittany, then when Brit told her that she wasn't dating anyone, Santana encouraged her to. Now, she's going Lima Heights on Sam? What?  Also, Sue said that she dropped out a month ago, why didn't she try to get Brittany back then? Why wait till Tina tells her about Bram? And why in God's green earth did Tina call Santana for anyway?

I also didn't like the way she attacked Sam. Santana has screwed Sam over more times than I can count and she had no right going at him like that, especially since he never did anything to her. And what the hell did she mean by "aim a little higher"? Sam is a good guy and she was plain annoying in slamming him like that. But really, the whole thing just felt possessive to me. Amongst all the break ups that we have been drowning into, Brittana are the ones who didn't have a pressing reason to break up. That was Santana's choice, a choice she stuck to and didn't even try to amend when she had the chance so no, I'm aboard the Bram express on that one. Her just appearing in NY was very Santana like, if not a little rude. But hey, at least she's friends with Kurt. Rachel invited Brody to move in without even consulting Kurt so yeah, Santana is better.

Now the Blina situation. I actually loved most of it, except for Tina bitching out Blaine for something he clearly isn't aware of. Blaine, sweetheart, get a clue. It's getting physically painful to see you be that oblivious. I half expected him to get it after Hung Up but clearly not. The bedroom scene was a mix of WTF moments for me but I loved it all the same. Kurt's pictures made me swoon and Blaine's comment " perfect gold star gay" was brilliant. I was a little freaked out when Tina started unbuttoning Blaine's shirt, I swear I expected her to kiss his chest or something. Okay, I just shuddered. But the straddling and the rubbing chest part was a jumbled mess of awkward, wistful, painful, and really creepy. I felt sorry for Tina in that moment, especially when she just cuddled to Blaine. And how many of you expected Blaine to mumble Kurt's name in that moment, I totally did. But again, my Klaine loving mind is seriously ticked because we didn't half of that between Klaine. Not to mention that Blaine and Tina keep using nickname for each other, again something we never saw with Kurt.

Both Don't Stop Me Now and Hung Up were pure gold. I loved it when Blaine kicked the piano stool backwards and the way he leaned back at the end supported by Ryder and Jake. Tina was smoking in Hung Up, a diva through and through. But I'm very alarmed and confused about Blaine asking Tina to the wedding. So what, Blaine will blew Tina off to go with Kurt? Or will he go with Tina and then blew her off at the wedding? Or will Tina just back off once she realizes that there is no chance for her and Blaine? My head is exploding from the possibilities.

The biggest what the hell moment was the Finn\ Emma kiss. If Blaine wins the award for most oblivious, then Finn certainly wins the award of "make a rash stupid decision on impulse then spend forever trying to fix it". Honestly, where the hell did that come from? When they talked about "a love interest" for Finn before I Do, I SO didn't expect Emma. Sure she's not actually a love interest, but it's weird. That kiss and the "Tina rubs Blaine's chest" are competing for most awkward moment in my book.

Quick Remarks on Naked

• So Rachel tells Kurt to grow up and he reciprocates by calling their friends to stop Rachel from doing what he thinks is a mistake, and she comes to the same realization in the end. Should we await for an apology and a thank you or is that beneath Rachel?
• I usually don't mind Brody but I just wanted to slap him in that scene. Way to be supportive, dude.
• Why was there no mention of the fact that Rachel asked Brody to move in without even asking Kurt first? I expected him to blow up at her
• Kurt was AWESOME in that scene. His cutting remarks, his facial expression, his everything really.
• I don't know why they decided to make Sam dumb all of a sudden. Sure, he wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box but to score the lowest?
• I LOVE Blam scenes, they are always the best. I'm very disappointed that they cut the "Sam realizes Blaine has a crush on him" part. And how heartwarming was the hug?
• I love the fact that Blaine was the one reaching out for Sam, the only one who noticed his struggle, just like Sam did for Blaine before.
• I like Jarley and think they're cute. While they did a good job in A Thousand Years, I still think it was too much for them. They literally just met yesterday.
• I swear Tina is the voice of the fandom. She keeps fawning over everything Blaine does. We feel you, Tina.
• Why did I get a vibe from Ryder and Tina? I think it would be cute, giving Ryder a love interest and making Tine get over her crush over Blaine.
• Artie continues with his insane ability to break my heart. Seriously, dude, you've got to stop. And Finn has matured so much, I feel like a proud mama
• This Is The New Year was so much fun. All the expressions were beyond hilarious
• And Glee finally remembered continuity, with the synchronized swimming and Sam being the reason Mercedes went to LA, you go Glee
