"I have to go, they’ll think I’m pooping." Oh Finn.

Rachel’s crush on Mr. Schue is so much more uncomfortable now that we know Lea and Matty Fresh actually dated.

Nice set of screen-caps!

The contrast between the Fabrays and Carole is such a huge thing, not only in behaviour but in the visuals. The Fabrays kick Quinn out of their lavish formal home, Carole takes Quinn in while standing in the laundry room in an unfinished basement.

Which is the same basement in which Finn & Kurt are (earlier) having an intimate, mutually validating conversation about their dead parents. And huh, I hadn't noticed it before, there's a jack-o-lantern. Which tells us it's the end of October, but it's also, folklore-wise, associated with restless souls trapped in purgatory (Lima itself is a kind of limbo or purgatory) as well as being used as a ward of protection from spirits and fairies. The boys are partially underground, talking about death and grief and intimate processes; their anxieties and doubts. This kind of makes the basement a liminal space for them, neither in the world nor quite out of it--they've stepped just far enough outside the usual social rules that say these two kids shouldn't be be friends, to offer each other  a rare moment of sincere friendship.

We have other scenes between Kurt & Finn in Kurt's basement bedroom later on, where they struggle with that external social pressure being imposed upon them. IDK, it's interesting. I hadn't thought much about basements being the setting of several significant scenes between Kurt & Finn until just now.

Also--and I feel like Captain Obvious with this one--this is the second time we see Finn put a helmet on Kurt. Finn wants to protect Kurt (and I hear the echoes of Kurt in "The Quarterback" "It was like Superman had arrived"), and we know Finn is going to struggle with this: how to be a good friend to Kurt, and later, how to be his family. We can at least see his intentions here, even if his execution gets horribly muddled between here and "Furt".

ETA: And, oh yeah, (I know I've talked about it before, but i want to put it here anyway) this is the episode where Kurt prompts Finn to sing "I'll Stand By You" ostensibly to his unborn daughter, but given the assignment, that it's Kurt's selection, and the sentiments of the song, I always view it as the song Kurt wishes for Finn to sing to him. And, I know I've mentioned this before too, there remains Kurt's unsung "I Honestly Love You" which is about accepting unrequited love and releasing the person loved from any expectation of reciprocity.

I don't have a lot of thoughts about Rachel's crush on Mr. Schue today. (This is maybe not a bad thing!)

So I was rewatching that scene in the beginning of “Tested” where Blaine’s struggling to put on his pants, and I see this book near (presumably) the rest of his clothes at the foot of the bed.

"Almost-sixteen-year-old Brooklyn feels invisible, but she desperately wants to be pretty, to be popular, to be adored by a cute guy. Luckily for her, she’s a witch about to come of age—so she’s only a few spells away from making it all happen." (x)

First - situational/plot relevance, this is a story about a girl who feels invisible and ~wants more~, secondly - I mean, I’m not actually surprised that Blaine apparently reads YA paranormal romance type books and yet….

So we have this, the Star Wars Fanfic, Goosebumps, and the books Tumblr CSI id'ed on his book shelves (which were, iirc, an SAT study guide, a bio of J. Edgar Hoover, and a choose your own adventure-y type book about a teenage girl?).

um

so i was giffing 514 and
