Gritty Mermaid Reboot

These two expressions mean more than any other character’s, because they are the only two people who have consistently held healthy and balanced views on marriage. They are also the only two of the kids who have discussed commitment, without using it as a form of snare or as a solution to a problem. Even Blaine’s ring to Kurt was cut out (but still counted as canon) precisely because it wasn’t used for dramatic effect. It was exactly what such a gift should be: non-materialistic, purely spontaneous, and without seeking any return. There was no further agenda than Blaine loving Kurt and not knowing how to monetize that feeling - and instead pouring his heart into something he made himself. Kurt’s joy and pride in wearing it was a testament to how intimately Blaine knew Kurt’s wishes. [Contrast that with Rachel’s reaction to Finn’s sow pig.]

[cut at this point because I know many of you duncurr about Glee, and I, like, respect that. ]

But I just find them adorable okay?  A sweet, respectful, healthy teenage relationship to the point where it is boring and saccharine as all get out, but still it’s nice to see,  especially because the romance that Glee wants us to care about is so dysfunctional.    

The episode about losing their virginity (well, most of it) is especially endearing to me and it sets them up as a healthy mirror to the crap that is how Rachel losing her virginity is portrayed.  And then later how Finn talks about how special it is that he lost his virginity to Santana when she clearly regrets having sex with him and in a context that is especially gross.  Rachel Berry just deserves better, okay?
