Did you see the Golden Globe nomination interview with Chris Colfer where Lea Mitchell just glomps him from behind? It was so fricking cute.
I did and they are so cute. All of them. It almost makes my teeth hurt but at the same time, I love that they are just like that and I want to see them enjoy it as much as possible for as long as they can. Fannish deities, MAKE IT SO!
And part of it is because I think that Kurt's story is interesting and mostly well told.
Mostly is probably the best assessment. On one hand, I appreciate it but on the other, there's the part of me that has tons of sympathy for Karofsky. I know I'm looking at all of this through my now-adult eyes but I remember when I came out and the guys who I'd see when I went to the bars. The jocks who I knew went to my school (I went to school in Texas, and that's where I came out. Yeah, good times), who would be out on a Saturday night but come Monday would stroll around campus with a girl on their arm. The guys who are fastracked into hypermasculinity at a very early age and god forbid if they are any other way. I don't excuse the bully but I understand him and I'm sad for him.
Kurt's story in many ways is easier to digest for the audience but at the same time, I find myself wishing for the gay kid who went to martial arts classes in his spare time.
And we won't get into my long standing wishes for a better story line for Mercedes...
Now if the writers wouldn't be so horrifyingly dense about, oh, so many other things...
