In Blaine’s bedroom, which is decorated with more Kurt Hummel paraphernalia than even AfterElton HQ…
After Elton 4x13 recap (x)

One time I wrote an article and told Glee to break the fourth wall again and grovel to the Lesbian Blogging Community, and since that happened, I’m just going to assume I have two more wishes. So the second thing I want is a shirt-pulling, lip-biting, wall-shaking, breath-taking makeout scene between Kurt and Blaine, two red-blooded young dudes who deserve more than some lip-pecking every now and then.
After Elton 4x13 recap (x)
My favorite thing about this clusterf*ck is how Blaine literally has no idea that Tina wants to blow his whistle. He’s that guy who lives in a bubble of his own handsome affability, just chasing an old lady down the road to tell her she dropped a hundred-dollar bill and having the old lady go, “Aw, just keep it.” And the pad thai driver showing up with his favorite meal even though he didn’t order it and telling him, what the heck, it’s on the house. And H&M always having just one more sold out shirt in his size back in the store room. And, “We don’t usually let people into the habitats to cuddle with the baby panda bears, Mr. Warbler, but I guess for you we can make an exception.” So when Tina gives him a handmade care package because she just senses that he’s sick, that’s the kind of serendipity Blaine calls “Tuesday.”

He just passes right the hell out. Tina makes a heartbreaking love confession before she realizes he’s asleep, and let’s assess her next move on a scale from normal to axe-murderer, shall we?
Normal: Quietly leave. Normal with a side of heartache: Cover him up and turn off his lamp and glance at him wistfully from the doorway. Moderately creepy: Take off his shoes and brush his hair off his forehead and give him a kiss. Creepy: Spoon him. Crazytown Bananapants: Unbutton his shirt and massage his chest with Vap-o Rub.
Glee, good lord. You can get away with a lot of shit by doing that high camp hand-wavey magic trick thing, but you cannot get away with non-consensual semi-sexual touching. And like, the piano in this scene is trying to tell us to feel sorry for Tina, when all any of us want to do was slap her hand away and wash our brains out with bleach. Not OK, show. Not OK a lot or a little bit or anything in between.

Oh, and there’s a bonus pic of Kurt and Rachel playing Life. I’m not sure, but I think I see a tiny Blaine in Kurt’s car.

Oh AfterElton, I do enjoy your Klaine-stanning.

Kurt tells Rachel the Sectionals news and she’s like, “Maybe I should call Finn?” And they both laugh because they’re done pretending Rachel and Finn ever had what Kurt and Blaine have.

Kurt and Blaine, on the other hand, are the real damn deal, and ten years from now, they should be telling their daughter the story of Prince Warbler and his Teenage Dream while walking their Bichon Frise through Central Park and eating ice cream.

I approve After Elton.

It’s also interesting to note that while the dirt he uses to entrap his classmates and teachers is primarily sexy-time in nature, Carson himself is presented as completely asexual – he’s never identified as either gay or straight, and is defined almost entirely by his ambitions. He’s also an equal opportunity extortionist, using indiscretions of all orientations to blackmail his classmates. Considering that Colfer’s Glee character has been primarily identified by his sexuality from the get-go, it’s an interesting contrast (and possibly one that was deliberately designed). And of course Colfer is openly gay in real life as well – a choice he made early in his career despite the resounding echo of Hollywood wisdom that audiences won’t accept openly gay actors in straight roles. Is the world ready to see Colfer as a straight romantic lead? No idea. But maybe this movie demonstrates that they don’t need to be.

7. She gave Glee its most heartwarming moment.
And most importantly: Glee has had its share of heroic moments, but I don’t think the show can claim any bigger accomplishment than presenting mainstream America with the sight of a dreamy boy (Darren Criss) wooing another dreamy boy (Chris Colfer) using the power of a dreamy pop song, “Teenage Dream.” Darren Criss’ wide-eyed, nattily attired debut as part of the Warblers is the closest thing gay, Generation Y kids have to a Beatles-on-Ed Sullivan fervor. It was a majestic performance, and Katy’s pulsing jam is an inextricable ingredient in its charm. Perfection.

In Rachelonia, it’s time for Rachel to show Ms. July what she can do. They perform “Oops I Did Again” to a tango. And I go to get a soda while the straight male audience gets more affirmation that they are Glee’s new key demographic.

AfterElton just retweeted!

And then, because they’re alone in a classroom and have been in a stable, loving relationship for more than a year and having sex for months, they kiss. Okay, well, they don’t, due to a double standard the size of Sue’s latest Nationals trophy.
And we wonder why the Klaine fandom does things like bid $4,200 at a charity auction to get a script showing the cut scene where Blaine gives Kurt a ring for Christmas, since the chances of seeing actual intimacy between these two boys on the air are right up there with Sugar Motta replacing Rachel as New Directions’ main soloist.
