There was Geoff/Aden slash fic posted and I didn't know about it?! How did that happen? Bad Jen. Regardless, I'm so excited that someone dealt with the unresolved sexual between Geoff and Aden because of the abruptness of their leavings. I've had my own crack theories in mind, but it's nice to see someone else's take. This, so much. Old habits die hard. And your description of Geoff is so wonderful, and there is already this awkwardness on Aden's side, of not knowing exactly how to act or what to do. Please tell me what Aden was thinking otherwise I will have to fill in the gaps, and I'm not sure the world is ready for that. I like that Geoff is so easy-going, so comfortable in his own skin. He can poke fun, and it's completely normal. It's almost like the roles they had in the Bay have been reversed. Geoff has gone out and done his own thing, and has, as a result, come into his own. I like this little exchange. Aden automatically panicking and assuming the baby was his, and Geoff telling him straight out what happened. The fact that Geoff and Aden both went their separate ways and ended up back together, near Aden's place, no less, makes me wonder how Geoff managed to track him down. Like Geoff has just said, Aden went off to do his army thing with Justin. How did Geoff go about finding where Aden was? Was it a pain-staking search? Did he just wake up one day and decide he needed to know if Aden was okay? What had become of Aden's life? These are a few of the things I would have liked to have read. I realise it's a one shot and all, but my mind always wants more -- particularly when it comes to this pairing. Geoff needs some liquid courage before going back to Aden's place. If that isn't a come-on then I don't know what is. I like that he paid for both their drinks. Always the gentleman. Aden's got it bad. I really like the little details in your descriptions. Geoff's little mannerisms that Aden finds captivating. This underlying nervousness of Aden, and general awkwardness of keeping the conversation flowing is totally natural, and so easy to read and understand. Not wanting to scare Geoff off, not knowing if the night is going to go anywhere, not even sure what he's feeling. Well, that was unexpected. I didn't think Aden would go for it so soon. I liked the freakout immediately after too. That 'oh know what have I done?' kind of feeling, wanting to immediately take it back. I don't know why this is so funny to me. Like, Aden has just kissed Geoff and Geoff is just sitting there like, 'no big deal.' I kind of adore it actually. And then more making out, which was awesome. I'm all for that boys. And Geoff confessing that he's always wanted to do it, but they are both straight, and therefore not gay, but maybe only slightly gay for eachother, which is pretty much my complete premise for this ship. My entire plot when I write fanfics for this pairing is always around this idea that they just have this tension that fluctuates between hate and love and then they make out. It's this undeniable *thing* between them that can't really be defined. It's like you are almost inside my head. And Geoff just missed him. I'm going to just curl up and hug my pillow to my chest because the amount of cute. Thank you so much for writing this, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and hopefully haven't scared you off from writing more with this mammoth comment.

Thank you so much everyone. Y'all are awesome .

Fair warning. This was 4 pages hand written as I was watching the episode. Blaine Blame It On The Alcohol “Blaine likes Kurt but he wants to stay friends.” WHAT. YES. OKAY. Carry over from SLS. At least we know that for sure. Ke-dollar sign-Ha. Best ever. Figgins you are quite oblivious. I don’t know why Figgins is roping in the Glee Club to perform. Is he forgetting what happened the last 2 times they got up in front of the whole school at an assembly? Sue pushed the Aural Intensity coach down the stairs. How original. But I had to laugh that he got up after the first flight. Puckerman, you are wonderful. Hot Little American Jewish Princess. I like that Rachel is focussing on Reigonals and not Finn. I like her much better like this. OH MY. The Headband Song. No words. If Finn thinks your song sucks, then it definitely sucks. Santanny and Artcedes. Someone has been trolling the internet for couple names. Although I prefer Brittana. Kurt and Blaine going to Rachel’s party. Kurt and Blaine looking fabulous out of their uniform. Finn, what have you been browsing, huh? Second, why did Kurt have to blackmail you into letting him come to Rachel’s party. Surely, if SLS was any indication, Kurt and Rachel are friends. Or so I thought. Rachel should have invited him anyway. I’m smiling at the fact that Blaine had to point out that he wasn’t wearing his uniform. I almost expected Kurt to chime in saying he helped Blaine picked out his outfit. But why does Rachel look like she’s wearing a nighty? She looks like a housewife. Like a DCriss G6. Awesome song choice. Santana/Brittany (Welcome to Hogwarts) Body shot. Puck wearing Lauren’s glasses. “It tastes like piiink!” Burt’s amazing dancing. Blaine is wasted and his hair is free and bouncy. I approve. And the Blaine/Finn interaction is so wonderful. “Brothers.”/”You’re so tall.” Everytime I watch this party scene I see more hilarious shenangians going on. It is so cracky. It’s wonderful. SPIN THE BOTTLE. This was never going to end well. Brittany/Sam with jealous!Santana. But who is she really jealous of? Hmmm. Blaine/Rachel with jealous!Kurt. I saw this in the promo and it was every bit as glorious as I imagined. I can’t help but think that this entire episode was orchestrated so we could see Darren Criss kiss a girl. And I am unashamedly okay with that. “Your face tastes awesome.” I bet it does. But Kurt is throwing daggers at the both of you with his eyes. DON’T YOU WANT ME. Amazing. Drunken singing and dancing. Blaine’s hair is breaking free/can’t be tamed etc. I could watch/listen to these 2 sing forever. Except there was supposed to be a part where Blaine fell back off the stage and landed on the floor. It was in the promo. I’m so sad we lost that part. BURT. YES. BLAINE IN KURT’S BED. EVERYTHING IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD. “I brought some bloody Mary’s y’all.” Oh Artie, you are dope. Drunken in a wheelchair, his steering is a bit off. Awesome. BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL performance. I really liked it. The red lighting and semi-circular couches. Very cool despite them all being drunk during it. I really like the Will/Beiste friendship. Whereas Emma/Terri bring out the worst in him, Beiste brings out his good side. Rachel has a bedazzled phone. Of course she does. Can we appreciate that Blaine is wearing the red vest and Kurt is wearing a Dalton sweater as opposed to the blazer. Very fine indeed. Up to the sitting down/Blaine agreeing to go on a date with Rachel, everything is great. They are friendly and giggly and Kurt isn’t too hurt by the drunken kissing that went on. I just want to get a big thumbs up to the writing of the Blaine/Kurt friendship before sh*t hits the fan. I DON’T KNOW HOW I FEEL. I can almost see both sides. Kurt is hurt because he looks up to Blaine and all his confidence in being gay, and suddenly he’s gone ‘PSYCH I might be bi!’That’s got to be a blow to Kurt. Once again, Blaine being bi means that the odds of Blaine picking Kurt as a boyfriend diminishes. But Blaine is allowed to be unsure and confused and experimenting because like he said, he has never had a boyfriend. It’s like the Kurt/Brittany short-lived relationship. What I don’t agree with is Kurt being down on Blaine dating Rachel is the same as Karofsky bullying Kurt. So not the same. So yeah. Kurt can be pissed for that comparison. I think this fight is so good for Kurt/Blaine relationship. They are spending more time together and finding out things about each others characters. The fact that Blaine is oblivious to Kurt’s feelings (as addressed in SLS) and Kurt being sassy and fighting back (which we haven’t seen since NBK). Kurt is also realising that while he may look up to Blaine and confide in him, Blaine is not perfect. He should not be placed up on a pedestal. Kurt and Blaine have gone head first into crushes without knowing much about the other person (see Sam and Jeremiah), so this is good for them in the long term. If they can restore themselves to some sort of awesome friendship after this, then they will be better off. A relationship of more equals, rather than Kurt always wanting to impress Blaine. Kurt should be a partner, and he is definitely able to give ass goof as he gets. But I do feel for Kurt. He can’t seem to be able to get a break. Will/Beiste duet was funny. Very sweet and I appreciate what Bieste is doing for Will. I don’t think they should ever be a couple, but I like their friendship. Cut to Rachel/Kurt friendship which I like just as much, if not more, but now Rachel has decided to pursue Blaine even though she knows how Kurt feels about him. Not cool, Rach. See, I think that’s what I’m more upset about. Not that Blaine is having a sexuality freakout, but that Rachel knows that Kurt likes Blaine and is still going after him. And then Kurt gets all sassy and I feel better about things. This whole situation is basically the reverse of what happened in Season 1 with both Rachel and Kurt going after Finn. What made this scene for me was that Kurt was turning around what Rachel said to him at the time (that whole, ‘it wouldn’t matter if I was 2nd or 50th, I would still be ahead of you because I’m a girl,’ thing). Kurt is now saying the same to Rachel. I adore him for that and thank you writers for remembering. Will grading papers drunk and drunk dialling is hilarious. BURT/KURT FATHER-SON BONDING TIME. I adore the relationship between these 2. “I sat through that whole Brokeback Mountain, and from what I gather something went down in the tent.” Quote of the episode. “Maybe you could step outside your comfort zone and educate yourself, so if I have any questions I could go to my dad, like any straight son could.” I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Tugging on the heart strings, but also implying that Burt should read The Joys of Gay Sex. I want a “birds and the bees” talk between Burt and Kurt. We almost got that in this episode. Can’t wait. “Kesha’s been a culture icon for weeks.” Oh Brittany. She looks amazing by the way. I’m glad heather gets to show off a bit. Drinking a cough syrup concoction before going on stage is not a good idea, but HeMo is fierce. Beiste singing along and Figgins dancing = Win. EWWW. Although Brittany looked eerily like Kesha at that point. Oh My. Sue playing Will’s message, who apparently has an alcoholic teen vomit fetish (gross). Count Boozy Von Drunkaton. Ha, Santana. Figgin’s, your simplemindedness and obliviousness finally pays off for the Glee Club. Why is Sam so excited to get Schue’s cell phone number? Kurt knows when Blaine has his post rehearsal medium drip. Wait, Rachel. Did you really just say, “who cares about you, buddy.”? I think Rachel has suffered the most in this episode. And by suffered I mean, her character has been ridden into the ground. After ‘Comeback’ I liked that Rachel was focussed and had goals and was all about the team and wasn’t boy crazy. It was awesome character development. Now, all she wants is a boyfriend, even if it means losing Kurt as a friend. That’s cruel. Kurt still refers to Blaine as dreamy. Be still my little shipper heart. “Yep. I’m gay.” Oh Kurt. I see you trying not to smile. And all Rachel cares about is that she can now write a song about it. Kurt (and I) has been put through the wringer with this episode and that’s how it ends! I want Kurt and Blaine to talk. Properly. I want to see Blaine appreciate Kurt. I want to trust the writers with this relationship. I really do. But after this episode I have no idea how things are going to turn out. Because after all of that fighting angst I feel like Kurt and Blaine are virtually back at square one. *breathes* All I keep repeating to myself is “Don’t they get together in the end?” I would have gladly given up Sue playing Sue’s voicemail to have a sort of definite resolution between Kurt and Blaine. Fanfiction will have to tied me over.

Is it wrong of me to reply to your reply to my comment in your fanfic thread? Too bad, I'm doing it anyway. Please don't freak out. I'm just an overenthusiastic puppy, with a bit of a thing for teenage-slash fics. My long-rambling comments are all meant with love and rainbows. I promise. I'm still on the Aden/Geoff ship. Maybe after this I could also be Lucas/Ric. At the moment I'm deciding who I want to ship Dex with, because, seriously. That boy is begging to have all the slash in the word written about him. I can't decide if it's more or less awkward to ship him with Romeo or Casey. But those are my thoughts that you probably don't care about. I hate when soaps and other shows always have the character have a Big Gay Freakout. Sometimes it's so unrealistic. And I just thought Ric was the kind of character who would accept it. And it was easier to write . I totally understand. I liked that Ric was just like, 'okay, this is what I feel. No big deal.' He was more concerned with how Luc would react anyway, and that is what made it all the more sweet. I debated so hard on whether to put that line in. But I'd established earlier that they used to date, and Belle would be the kind of person to ask that. It seemed a pretty normal reaction to me. I'm glad you put it in. After reading it a couple more times, it felt more natural. And especially since you ended the fic with the whole 'I love you'/'I don't want a boyfriend/Only you' conversation, I think it was necessary. When I was reading it through the first time I was a little worried that it would be like a flick of a switch and Bam! Lucas is Gay. But it's more, he's gay for Ric, and I'm totally okay with that. Can I just say, this is perhaps the greatest compliment I have ever received? So... yeah... Thanks . You are more than welcome . When I enjoy peoples fic, I tend to spam them with comments and unnecessary amount.

So excited to read this. I don’t understand why this fandom doesn’t have more slash fic. You’d think with so many good looking boys and girls, that it would be teeming with slash fic. Sadly, it isn’t. But I’m so stoked that you’re still pushing the Lucas/Ric ship forward. I was watching some old episodes yesterday, like Lucas/Geoff era. That was a trip. Okay, right. Focus. Your fic in all it’s glory. I adore your characterisation of Ric off the bat. Being friends with Lucas and Belle, kind of odd-fits together, but they work. And just knowing that ‘studying’ would equal sex. Oh Ric, already giving up sex with girls so Lucas will talk to you again. I see what’s happening, even if you don’t. Lucas in skinny jeans. Thank you for that image. I completely understand what Ric sees. Just, all of this. Having friends that Ric would talk about sex with, and Lucas not being one of them. It’s almost like he cares too much to put that pressure on Lucas. I also like how this realisation of Ric’s is not made a big deal. It’s kind of like this inevitable shift from just best friends, to maybe I want to bone my best friend. But it’s not like, Ric freaks out or anything. I like that. Again, your Ric voice is so perfect. It’s equal parts confused teenager and cool dude. And then the kiss. Screw self-control, and just going for it. I thought Ric might have scouted it out first, but really he’s a teenager. So do now, think later, works well. I really want to put into words how awesome it was. I want to comment on how you wrote it and Ric’s inner dialogue and just *knowing* that Lucas studied this sort of thing, but instead I’m a puddle on the floor. I want to just keymash everywhere because I have no coherent thoughts whatsoever. Kissing boys, *sigh*. Look at what you have reduced me to. Don’t run away! Andrew, why do you do these things to me! I want them to keep kissing forever. Damn you Beth for coming home. I’m sure Lucas wants to keep with the kissing too, Ric. Don’t go. Ouch. I feel so sorry for them both. I’m so glad Ric acknowledges that it’s not just the kissing that he misses (although that was awesome), but that he actually liked hanging out with him. They were friends first, and something else second, and now he seems to have neither. I’m all sad-face now. Belle, please continue to be sassy and awesome and push these two boys to kiss and make up. I approved that Lucas has a “fantastic glaring face”. Yes. So many yeses. And then it is awkward because they are teenagers, and for some reason this is even more attractive to me, than everything being perfect and rainbows. I like this being awkward. Then yes to the bad scifi movie and then accidental brushing leading to kissing and laughing. I don’t know what to do with these boys. I adore everything you have written. Oh gosh. I approve so hard to Lucas being a researcher. Just. I can’t even. Why is this such a big turn on for me? I was going to make a comment on how you’d avoided the whole ‘turning them into gay boys’ thing, and then this happened. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. On the contrary, I like that it was Lucas who’s come out with it, and to Belle no less. And then you go on to explain how Lucas would obviously get his head around this sort of thing much faster than Ric, and it just makes sense. This is what I call good writing. You’ve managed to convince me that this is perfectly in character for Lucas, and I’m totally on board with it. And then there is Ric, still confused and lagging behind in terms of re-evaluating himself, but I still like him too. Why are you doing this to me? Then, damn. Beth, and the coming home. Kick me in the guts why don’t you. I was ready for soppy make out sessions, not emotional stuff. I’m ill-equipped. Amazing. I kind of want to roll around in your humour. It’s so nice to read this sort of fic. It’s serious, but laced with moments where I just want to laugh. It’s exactly what I enjoy reading. The last line is brilliant, and definitely ends it on a wonderfully optimistic note. Can I just say that I adored everything. I wish I knew more adjectives to adequately explain how much I enjoyed this. I just want to read and re-read everything, so I can continue to enjoy this. You need to write more slash. I approve so much of this fic.

Thanks .

Dex you are my favourite right now. I said this in the Aus Discussion thread, but over the summer I sort of built up this head-canon for Dex, and it's almost eery how similar he is now. I have fic written in which Dex watches a lot of animal documentaries, because they are things he can understand. They are a lot less complicated than actual people. All I need now is for Dex to get some sort of boy-crush on Casey and everything will be complete. The Indi/Dex relationship is so good. I like that the writers are taking the time to look at that dynamic. The fact that Indi might think he's annoying and dorky, but she really does care about him. And that Dex doesn't really have any interest in Indi's relationship with Romeo, but just wants her to be okay. He's seen her go through multiple boys and relationships and always seems to come out of them hurt, so he wants to protect her. At least, that's how I see it. I adore that he's got this video making thing happening now. It's an outlet for him. Like, maybe if he makes videos about relationships he;ll somehow underdtand them, and then figure out why it is that he can't get a girlfriend or just ... any friends. It's okay, Dex. I'll be your friend.

Thankies Kristen, Carina, and Sabrina .

Ha! I think I just need a new hobby. Or more of a life. Whatever . Thanks Kristen, Carina, Sarah and Lesley.

More Cast icons.

Thankies Lise and Sabrina. There will some Romeo/Nicole coming within the next few updates. Here. Have some Lincoln Lewis.

Glee icons FTW. I should really make some of those too (particularly Kurt/Blaine, because they are my favourites, but whatever). Awesome job, Sarah .

A Very Glee Christmas was on Aussie TV last night, and while it was cute and everything, I just really want to see the Superbowl Episode like crazy. I've seen a total of one scene, and I'm trying to remain spoiler free, but it's so incredible hard. Even though it's 2 months too late to be showing a Christmas episode, BICO still was as adorable as ever, and definitely the highlight of the episode. Kurt/Blaine + Platonic friendship = You're doing it wrong.

^ Yeah, I really like as well. It is very sweet. But. BUT. WHAT?! Now a video for . I am clearly way too invested in this.

At the risk of spamming this thread - Full scene of [sONG SPOILER] is all kinds of epic. Secondly, Darren on Ellen was equal parts charming and adorable and articulate and nerdy. He played her a song about wanting a Finding Nemo 2. How could you not love someone like that? I challenge you to find a reason. February 2011 may just be the greatest month on record.

Thank you for the kind comments everyone . You are all so wonderful.

Oh so cute, Barbara. I adore the cropping on #3, 7 and 11 in particular .

Wow. The cropping on number 21 is just incredible. It's so close and tight and the colouring and contrast makes it look so ... lush . Great job.

Thankies Carina, Lise, Sabrina and Kristen .

Finally! Special Education is on tv this coming Monday. Yay for new episodes. I've seen brief promos for both the Superbowl and Valentine's Day episodes and uhhhhhh!! I need it to be February already. I also need to get my hands on the Entertainment Weekly with Kurt/Blaine on the cover. Gay boys everywhere! I have a lot of needs, okay?

Thank you so much everyone .

And we return to your regularly scheduled H&A icons. These are going to be the last batch for a week or so, because I'm heading to Melbourne. So, see you when I get back .

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG - Chris Colfer won a Golden Globe. I am so ridiculously happy right now . Like, this is significant, you guys. I can't contian my excitement. I legit squealed so hard when they announced it. Chris looked so pale, and Lea was crying. It is pretty much the greatest thing to exist in the whole entire world. So much love for everything .
