quinn: no one said anything. it was just a conversation starter, tina. quinn: i think a shopping spree is in order then. quinn: how about this weekend?

tina: holding up? what do you mean? did someone say i wasn't doing okay? tina: because i think you might have been misled, i'm totally thriving. tina: i could be down for a shopping spree, though. i think i might have overpacked, honestly, but... i could still use a nice new dress. tina: what's the point of coming to a reunion if you can't show off the glow-up, right? tina: kidding. tina: ...half-kidding.

quinn: i'm doing very well, sam. thanks. quinn: oh my gosh, is stace babysitting? i can totally help fund her summer vacation! quinn: let me know her availability, of course my mom can help out too but i don't want to overwhelm her.

sam: quinn! damnn, it's so good to hear from u 🥰🥲 how u doing, q? sam: ok so babysitters... i can give you the couple names of ppl i used when my siblings were younger? BUT i also know of a 19 yr old girl who is trying really dang hard to save for "an epic summer vacation"... i'm a little biased, but she's p good.

quinn: well she's not happy with us this christmas, you know. she said she hates spending winter break in ohio. and who could blame her... quinn: so we better come up with a really good present this year. quinn: are you busy friday?

📲 quinn & tina

quinn: hey girl, how are you holding up? i think i forgot just how cold ohio can be in november, and i certainly did not pack for the occasion. i think a shopping spree is in order. @gleefultina

📲 quinn & blaine

quinn: hi blaine!! how are you doing lately? i feel like it's been so long since we last spoke, what's new with you? @gleefulblaineanderson

📲 quinn & sam

quinn: hi sam, i hope you don't mind that i grabbed your current number from the teacher's directory, but i was wondering if you might have your finger on the pulse of things around town? i'm looking for a reliable babysitter while i'm lima - i'll pay well! @gleefulsam

[gleefulquinn]

hi sugar, what have you been up to lately? are you still making the little videos on tiktok? that is so great for you! i'm taking the next few weeks off public socials, so i'll pass on the videos, but i'm sure you guys will have fun making those. who doesn't want a little bit of sugar in their life?

i didn't realize anyone was taking this showcase so seriously, i guess i'll have to step up my game.

hello lima! so crazy of me to be back, but you know it wouldn't be a mckinley #throwbackthursday without a little sweet n' spicy! now, i know you guys will be totes jumping at the chance to get to make a video with THE rich-bitch pretty-in-pink 'tism princess of tiktok; xoxosugar, but i will have to ask we take it one at a time so i can work out a posting schedule.

oh! and also i have so many ideas for songs that i'll sound so amazing singing so if anyone is dying for a duet, get in fast! because if not, i'll just make them all solos.

[gleefulquinn]

i feel the exact same way, it's been quite some time since i've last been back, but it'll be good to be back and see everyone. hopefully we can keep all that show choir energy contained long enough not to imploded during the next couple of weeks.

nostalgia is a dangerous animal, blaine.

Even though returning to Ohio wasn't something I wouldn't have put on my bingo card this year, so far, so good. That being said, the nostalgia is hitting hard. Or maybe it's just that time of year? Is anyone else feeling all the nostalgia?

i've always loved murder mystery dinners, would be quite the show to have an actual murder, wouldn't it? who do you think the murderer is? i think the midwestern soccer mom in my is coming out, i might be going a little too hard on the true crime podcasts....

wow, your humility is actually very impressive jesse. i can't believe i get to say i knew you when.

how limited is 'limited'?

though i'm still not entirely convinced that we haven't all been invited back under some big ruse that culminates in an actual murder mystery dinner - which i think we all have to admit would be pretty exciting, albeit tragic and horrifying, obviously - it's nice to be back. i think returning to my roots is just what my current, top-secret project needs, and it'll be quite humbling to reconnect with those of you who have been fans since the beginning.

also- i brought along a box of signed playbills from my time in moulin rouge!, for any of you that have been looking to purchase one. copies are limited, so make sure to let me know if you'd like me to put one on hold for you!

What are you most looking forward to about being back in Lima for the holidays?

i think it'll just be good to get the kids home for the holidays, they've never experienced a snowy, white christmas before, and that just feels wrong. spending time with family will be a great break from life in los angeles, and i'm really appreciating my time away from work, and getting some quality time off camera with the people i love.

from the journal of: quinn fabray-collins. dated: november 8, 2024

tomorrow i leave la to head to ohio. it's been four years since i've even been back in my home town, but i think it's finally time to go back. i haven't seen frannie or the kids in months, and my mom has been begging me to bring the kids home for christmas for a few years now. ben is not very keen on me being away from the house for so many weeks, even less so once i told him i don't plan on vlogging during our time apart, but i need a break. i'm so exhausted from being on all the time. it feels like my life isn't real, it's all an elaborate show for some faceless, nameless viewer clicking a like button.

( in the margins · remind alex to upload next week's video on tuesday, and have her run the video by this weeks sponsor. also, find out who this weeks sponsor even is. )

i've been invited by my old high school to participate in the annual arts showcase this year, apparently that's a thing now? since when does mckinley celebrate the arts? that's new. i was a bit hesitant at first, but i think having the kids spend some time in a place where no one is famous and there aren't any cameras will be good for them. and beth's been texting me a lot lately, it'll be good to see her again in person. plus...i admit, i've been a bit curious about my old classmates. i saw tina at an event in la a few weeks back and just being around a familiar face felt...grounding. plus it's been years since i've done anything performance related. thank god for la connections, i've managed to get in a few vocal and dance lessons before leaving for ohio so i won't seem totally incompetent in front of everyone. something needs to change. here's hoping a trip back home will do the trick, i'm at the end of my rope.

to do list: □ pick up the dry cleaner □ call alex, leave instructions for next week □ send raw footage to vince □ finish packing □ double check everyone's passports □ call shelby □ call in darcy's prescription
