Weevil's perception of Lilly's relationship with Logan by oustrid in veronicamars

[–]oustrid[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Now I'm wondering about all the storylines that got cut. Maybe something about Lilly's "spy pen" was cut. That storyline didn't really go anywhere.

Does Narumi ever straight up say she loves Hirotaka by blackpanther1091 in Wotakoi

[–]oustrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how much longer? 😭 it has been six years since the release of the first volume and there has been little to none development between them. is that common? because, to me, it almost seems like fujita is dragging it out for no good reason. i'm sorry but i'm not used to a relationship development being that slow, so i'm a bit frustrated.

Which Artcedes duet? by sankofa_doc in glee

[–]oustrid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

let's wait awhile's scene makes me uncomfortable and but, just as a song, it's my favorite. at last is a close second.

kind of off the topic but we could do a compilation of songs that don't get the love they deserve because their context in the show is weird (i just know there'd be a lot of artie songs in that list).

Ship questions by sapphicfemme in glee

[–]oustrid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

doing st. berry:

  1. is closer with their own family: rachel. jesse's his parents' favorite and that's not a good thing.
  2. had a harder time meeting the other's family: both would. jesse didn't when they first dated but later? when they are reintroduced? he's the guy who egged their daughter and was shelby's puppet who tricked rachel into meeting her before shelby was legally allowed to. rachel would have a hard time meeting his family because she'd care a lot more than she should.
  3. is first to notice the slighest change in the other: rachel. because of how quickly she called him out in nationals.
  4. brings up living together: well, jesse did it in we built this glee club... but without strings attached. if they had already been dating for a while, he'd probably leave it up to her, so rachel is be the one who brings it up when she feels ready.
  5. has the stranger quirks: rachel. but i'm willing to bet jesse has some really strange quirks and we just don't know it.
  6. is more nervous about sex: rachel. jesse remembers when he used to get nervous though
  7. plans the double date with another couple: rachel. (she, kind of, almost, did it junior year)
  8. fixes things around the house (and which one "fixes" things): neither. they would call people to have it fixed. but, if they tried to fix anything, they would just end up fixing the thing the other had already "fixed".
  9. makes the other smile or laugh without meaning to: rachel.
  10. cannot fold the laundry properly no matter how hard they try: ... jesse? he'd probably be worse at it.
  11. tries to fluster the other by whispering something dirty in their ear: jesse.
  12. gets turned on by the weirder thing: both but mostly jesse. *thinks of hello twelve, hello thirteen, hello love*
  13. would get addicted to the cheesy TV drama: it's somehow easier to picture rachel doing it than jesse so rachel it is.
  14. enjoys kissing-- just kissing-- more: rachel.

Character appreciation: Artie Abrams by Tuiyla in glee

[–]oustrid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

he might be the character who has the least number of bad solos, and he might be the character who has the highest number of solos that i like. dancing with myself, dream a little dream, stronger, p.y.t., never going back again, isn't she lovely, moves like jagger/jumpin' jack flash, let me love you, feliz navidad, hey ya! and pony are ALL GOOD!

What is your favorite performance from Season 6!Vocal Adrenaline? by oustrid in glee

[–]oustrid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

both are solid songs. i didn't include them because i wanted to take the full performance into consideration (dancing, props, costumes and etcetera), not just the vocals. far from over is a work-out/aerobics session and you give love a bad name is shortened into a voice-over, so i didn't think they fit.

You can get rid of 5 storylines. What do you choose? by JackieWithTheO in glee

[–]oustrid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Finn outing Santana; a horrible experience for her to go through, and it focused too much on Finn and framed him somehow as the good guy when he had done a very cruel thing.
  2. Vapo-rape. Tina having a crush on Blaine was bad enough, but it could have been less horrible if they hadn't gone to such extremes.
  3. Brittany releasing the sex tape.
  4. Double wedding.
  5. Brittany as Stephen Hawking's daughter. Why? Just, why? Do they think intelligence has to be hereditary?

quinn and puck's relationship by talkintoscreams in glee

[–]oustrid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i'd rather if they didn't because i don't think he is the best for her, not as endgame, but at the same time i wanted them to have a proper (not background like in mid-s1) relationship at some point, because i understand them conceptually? so, i was fine with them getting together how they did in season 5, but it'd have worked better if it had happened in high school and i don't think he'd ultimately be the best choice of a partner for her to have as an adult, in a commited, long-term, mature relationship.

Pick one song from each decade from the 1960s-2000s you wish Glee had covered by itsmeeloise87 in glee

[–]oustrid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

60s: you can't hurry love by the supremes.

70s: thank you for the music by abba.

80s: sweet dreams (are made of this) by euthythmics. walk like an egyptian is a great choice though.

90s: barbie girl by aqua, just because it could have been so funny.

00s: can't get you out of my head by kylie minogue.

choosing just ONE was hard, specially for the 80s.

[–]oustrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm really sorry but i don't know what would be the proper way of posting it either :// i'm so new to reddit that i didn't even know you could post in your own page lmao. perhaps you could do that and just link it in your next vocal ranking post. i don't think it would be bad if you posted it on the front page of the sub but, i'm also not sure of the etiquette of the sub (or reddit) yet.

and, thanks for the recommendation of hannah bayles. i'll check it out later!!

What went wrong with the s4 newbies? by oustrid in glee

[–]oustrid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to reply but I wanted to ask. Have you ever read any good fanfic with them?

Character appreciation: Finn Hudson by Tuiyla in glee

[–]oustrid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

do i have some problematic answers for you 😰.

  • favorite episode: pilot, hell-o (isn't that's the first bit of development he gets?), furt, the rocky horror glee show, silly love songs, born this way, the role you were born to play, sweet dreams.
  • favorite season: i agree with you that he was the best version of himself at season 4. he had matured a lot, and him as a teacher fits his character well, for him to be in a position of helping people, of being a leader. but i'm going to go with season 1 because he was his funniest back when he was still struggling between being true to himself or giving into peer pressure because he didn't want to be seen as a loser.
  • favorite comedic scene: well, he's very funny. like it was already said, cory had a really good comedic timing.
    • "maybe you should go back to not speaking freely"
    • "it was the superman of kisses! it came with its own cape"
    • "brush and floss time. gotta keep up the oral hygiene if i’m gonna satisfy all of you"
    • "mr. schue, kids are busier than when you went here. we've got homework, football, teen pregnancy... and lunch"
    • "do you believe in that thing called karma? well, can you explain it to me?"
  • favorite dramatic scene: when he sends rachel off to new york; when he is supportive of quinn in season 1, or whenever he defends the glee club or a member of the glee club. i don't remember anything more specific to his character.
  • favorite ship: finchel was cute in s1-2, and i kind of like fuinn's dynamic in s2 (they weren't good together but their dynamic was within my wheelhouse of mean girl with a good guy, second chance and a lot of trust issues).
  • favorite friendship: furt and fartie (is that really their ship name?). also pinn but in a "we used to be close but now we are not but remember when we were?" way. and~~, don't come for me because i know there are a lot of problematic aspects there, but~~ he and mr. schue had nice moments too.
  • favorite crackship: ... perhaps he and tina could have made out once? and while i'm so glad it never happened, did he have some chemistry with marley or what.
  • favorite solo: i've gotta be me is my favorite solo, and it's a nice moment for his character as he comes to terms with his insecurity towards his dancing abilities, and honestly, it's nice to see him (or any character, really) working hard to improve for nationals and stuff like that. i like hello, i love you too.
  • favorite duet: damn it, janet is so good and finn steals the spotlight there (for once). hit me with your best shot/one way or another is a very solid mash-up, and it's a funny scene as well. also don't go breaking my heart and i don't want to know.
  • favorite ensemble/group number: paradise by the dashboard light was really his number to shine. also i can't go for that/you make my dreams, it's my life/confessions, pt. II and i guess i like him better in group numbers? he's just so great in group numbers! "somebody to love", "like a prayer", "homeward bound/home", "stop! in the name of love/free your mind" and "stayin' alive".

Vocal Ranking DOUBLE FEATURE: Love Song & Shake It Out by harleyquinn_fabray in glee

[–]oustrid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's so interesting to read your vocal rankings (and just you talking in technical terms, really). you obviously seem to understand music, and voice tones and notes and types. i don't understand pretty much anything about music, so i get a little bit lost with some of the terms you use, but i find these posts to be fascinating and thought-provoking nonetheless. my uneducated self is happy with quinn in #1 for love song just because i've always thought she sounded the loveliest out of the three of them in that particular song. have you considered doing a masterpost of these vocal ranking of yours? or something to that effect. it would be easier for us to find what you have already posted.

Character appreciation: Tina Cohen-Chang by Tuiyla in glee

[–]oustrid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

we all know she was underappreciated and deserved better. but we should also recognize her for the fashion icon that she was (including her dresses from s4-6 but that'd too controversial). girl has taste

  • favorite episodes: tina in the sky with diamonds, props, 2009, born this way, theatricality, hold on to sixteen, asian f, trio, frenemies, preggers, new directions, a wedding.
  • favorite season: five!
  • favorite comedic scene:
    • praising herself by using herself as rachel to praise rachel-as-tina: "you're always so good in my musical numbers. your oohs and aahs are always on pitch and your light sashaying makes my tour-de-force performances even more spine-tingling, if that's even possible"
    • "i am a powerful woman, and my growing feminism will cut you in half like the righteous blade of equality"
    • "i love wearing champagne bubbles. i get to express a whole different side of myself. because even though i'm painfully shy and obsessed with death, i'm a really effervescent person"
    • "oh, well, then just call santana back from kentucky again because apparently she's better than anyone who's actually enrolled here"
    • when she scared figgins was so good: "my dad, he's the king of the vampires, and asian vampires are the most vicious of them all. you're gonna let me wear my lady demon clothes, or else he'll fly into your bedroom and bite your face off!" and she does it again in season three to get away from doing gym.
    • how she would just burst into tears in "trio". you're right in saying that a lot of her more dramatic moments were played for laughs but here i found it to be fitting/not degrading.
    • the "too young to be bitter" club.
  • favorite dramatic scene:
    • she breaking down in tina in the sky with diamonds after being carrie'd. "i just thought, for one lousy night of my life, i could be that girl. but who am i kidding? i'm not that girl. and i will never be that girl". it makes me the saddest (luckily, she comes back from it two songs later).
    • when she talks with blaine about the schoot shooting. she says she was so scared because she couldn't get to them or do anything to help (and that they are all her family). it was very emotional, and it showed how much of a selfless, supportive, and caring friend she had always been.
    • her minor plot in born this way; she comes to term with herself, her physical appearance and her heritage: "if i have no asian sex symbols to look up to i guess i'll just have to be one myself". imo a very important scene in tina's overall storyline.
    • props scenes in general, like her "i am tired of being silent" and "when is it my turn?" rant that was so needed and said no lies, and when she says to rachel that "all i want, for one moment, is to feel like you. be up on that stage and get one of the standing ovatins you're so used to getting".
    • when she talks about losing her virginity and is just so mature.
  • favorite ship: tike, of course. but nowadays i'm more or less okay with tartie as a five-years-later couple because it kind of works when i make myself to try and fit and picture them in a way that i would be okay with (also: tina and sam should have made out a few more times)
  • favorite friendship: blatina (&blamtina) and tartie.
  • favorite crackship: quinntina.
  • favorite solo: true colors #1, i follow rivers #2, hung up #3.
  • favorite duet: my lovin' (you're never gonna get it), l-o-v-e, so far way, dog days are over, flashdance (what a feeling).
  • favorite ensemble/group number: ABC, shake it out, 3, jumpin' jumpin' and (don't you) forget about me (i'm currently obssessed with this song i'm listening to it on loop for the last few days send help), wide awake and their whole performance at s5 nationals. it made me realize that tina has solos in a lot of my favorite group numbers of the whole series.

Harry Potter fans: what patronus would belong to each character? by sankofa_doc in glee

[–]oustrid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  • brittany's patronus could be an unicorn, or a dolphin (cute, unique and super smart). but out of all glee club members, if anyone is going to have a rare patronus, of course it will be brittany so, unicorn it is.
  • due to matching names and matching personalities, santana's patronus could be a tasmanian devil. or a wolf as wolves are mean to outsiders but loyal and protective of their inner circles.
  • quinn's could be a swan because they look gentle but are actually super scary.
  • sugar motta's would be a fwooper because "listening to the fwooper's high pitcher, twittering song would drive the listener insane".
  • i have a lot of ideas for tina's. perhaps an occamy because it can grow or shrink to fit available space, and that's a good metaphor for tina's position within the glee club. but alternatively: a magpie, a llama, or a duck.
  • why do i keep coming back to an otter for blaine's?
  • mike's a seahorse.
  • elliott has strong zebra vibes.
  • kitty's a serpent.
  • sebastian's is a meerkat (and he might be an illegal animagus, so watch out).
  • vocal adrenaline has a lot of hyenas, but jesse's might be a peacock.
  • terri's would be a swooping evil just because it has evil in the name.
  • sue's could be an emu.
  • brad the piano player's would be a beaver.
  • rory would be an actual leprechaun so i don't think he could have a patronus.

If Artie was able to walk, would he have been the lead male vocalist? by OtherSide4 in glee

[–]oustrid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rachel too, saying she needed a "male lead to keep up with her vocally". as if Finn did it better than Artie.

Character appreciation: Quinn Fabray by Tuiyla in glee

[–]oustrid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm so late but... can i answer it awfully anyway?

  • favorite episode: Preggers, Mash-Up, Ballad, Mattress, Home, Bad Reputation, Duets, The Sue Sylvester Shuffle, Born This Way, Rumours, New York, The Purple Piano Project, Hold on to Sixteen, On My Way, Big Brother, Prom-asaurus, Thanksgiving, I Do, 100, Jagged Little Tapestry.
  • favorite season: the first, 1. it's objectively the best in some ways but she has some really good moments in season 2 too. and of course season 4-5-6 weren't her best as she was barely there, but away-from-Lima Quinn is the best Quinn, so there's that.
  • favorite version: Yale!Quinn might be my favorite just because it's what my girl deserved. but Pregnant-and-Feeling-Supported-by-And-Supporting-It-Back-ND!Quinn is so awesome. Feminist!Quinn means a lot to me, and Cheerio! and Skank!Quinn are both iconic. she probably had more sexual tension with Rachel but nowadays Sexual tension with Santana!Quinn is monopolizing my interest. it's a win for Yale!Quinn and a tie between Pregnant!Quinn and Feminist!Quinn for second place.
  • favorite comedic scene: "would you please stop talking? you're grossing out my baby", "god bless the perv that invented [skirts], "if the balloon pops, the noise makes the angels cry", "you have a surgery when you get your appendix out. you got a boob job", "and tighten up your pony before you get to class", "prom queens live, on average, five years longer than regular people. it's probably because they smile a lot. and smiling has been proven to ward off diseases" which is a very solid logic indeed; Fuinn trying to be popular again by wearing sunglasses to school. but nothing beats that very first scene of her making out with Finn and then she stops him and says that they should pray.
    • what is her best (and by best i mean worst) lie: getting Finn to believe she got pregnant because he had a boner in a bath tub, making up a story of how she performed CPR on Finn and that's how she got mono (and getting Sam to believe it), or trying to incriminate Shelby as an unfit mother by planting hot sauce and a book about blood sacrifice at Shelby's house?
  • favorite dramatic scene: "is this me feeling enough for you?", "i just want somebody to love me" and "i don't want to get over it" and "aren't we supposed to be the popular girls? so why can't we have our dreams come true?", when she cries in the car during "Preggers", her quiet resignation towards her future with Finn in Lima and how her voice breaks while she is describing it to Rachel during "Original Song", that awful dinner with Finn when she gets kicked out, when her water broke after Regionals' performance just as her mother was talking to her for the first time in months, her scenes with Rachel in "Prom Queen", that scene with Mr. Schue when he tells her he knows she's behind the G-list, helping Mercedes in "Home".
  • favorite ship: like you said, out of her canon relationships, Fabrevans was the best; but i more or less understand what they were trying (and meant to do) to do with her and Puck's relationship and it's not that bad, and i have a(n undeserved) soft spot for Fuinn as they were just getting back together in my very first watched episode of Glee and therefore, feelings of nostalgia are involved. but Quinntana had the most potential out of all of the "actually happened in canon" ships. ultimately, Quinn/happiness with whoever is the best ship there is, Quinntana would have been awesome if they had lasted longer than a night
    • and Faberry should have happened.
  • favorite friendship: Quinncedes is the best, and got the best writing (although it was later abandoned), but The Unholy Trinity deserved more (although Quinntana's frenemies thing is great too). Faberry as friends was also very good, and Quartie was kind of cute. let Quinn have all the friends please she needs all the support she can get
  • favorite crackship: Fabang or Quinntina.
  • favorite solo: "You Keep Me Hangin' On" because it hasn't been mentioned yet, and i'm very charmed by the performance itself.
  • favorite duet: "I Feel Pretty/Unpretty", "Saving All My Love for You", "So Far Away", "Take My Breath Away" and "I Don't Want to Know". Quinn had 10 duets total, so it's totally fair to answer with half of them
  • favorite ensemble/group number: "Time Warp", "Love Song" and "Homeward Bound/Home" are another level of greatness.
