Pffft speak for yourself. I simply choose to hate his guts for all eternity, like a normal person. :)

The character Blaine and my reading of him has always been very personal, when I first finished glee and compared him to the Blaine in my life I understood him very well. He was a textbook narcissist. The behaviour lined up like word for word. And through out the series if he's looked at through this lense he's one of the only consistently written characters.

A lot of us, myself included have trouble believing Kurt was so attached to this piece of shit. But after experiencing some things with my real life Blaines I began to have some empathy for how difficult it can be to let go of some people, no matter how much they hurt you. So I feel the need to try explain Kurts attachment to Blaine, not romanticize but explain why it exists.

Childhood attachment/First love: Kurt meets him relatively young, he looks up to Blaine, grows up with him, Blaine is the first person he dates and they get through some very dark times in Kurts life together, no matter how much growth occurs in Kurts life he can't shake off the initial gratitude, hero worship

Sunk cost fallacy: The strange feeling of not wanting to feel like an idiot or a loser for having a made a bad decision that has already taken too much of your time, so you rationalize that if you see it through it will be worth it because you've put too much of yourself in it, it being a relationship or a person. It's feels like too much effort to start over anew. To learn a new person or to heal when you've learned the motions of the status quo. So maybe it hurts when Blaine yells about unreasonable things but he's learned to yell back and hold his ground.

Trauma bonding : Feeling connected to an abuser because of various manipulation tactics they use to control you like love bombing, withholding affection( fratboiphysicals), guilt tripping ( I needed you and you weren't there), gaslighting etc. It's very hard to cope with the knowledge that someone you love is just using you for their ego so we don't. We pretend we are loved, that what we have is unconventional but special. When someone is constantly being hostile the bar lowers itself and we live on the crumbs of their affection, it feels special, and because the abuser never reassures you you have a definite place in their world you have to fight for their attention and fight you will.

External pressure : Narcissists have a way of perfecting surface level charm to get everyone in their pocket until you no longer have anyone in their corner and they have everyone telling you how great they are. Eg: the proposal scene, santana sabotaging kadam and the rant, Sue(?)

Isolation : They find whatever way to make sure you have less and less friends to make it easier for them to gaslight you, so only their opinion matters and you can't fact check with a sane person. Eg: the Elliot incident, the Chandler incident.

Gaslighting : Abusers change the narrative to fit their needs with such blinding confidence that you think you're the problem eg: late s6 Kurt.

The fact that it's been almost 8 years since Glee ended and the Kl*ine stans are still just as insufferable and insecure as ever. Like why are y'all attacking Jenna and Kevin just because they don't really talk about them and didn't like one of their scenes? Like who cares? That's their opinion and that pair didn't involve them anyway. It doesn't mean they hate them.

And even if they did, they have that right. Kevin being gay doesn't mean he's required to like every single gay pair or character (especially when they're terribly written). Damn just don't listen to their podcast and go about your business. This isn't hard.

Klaine vs Kurtbastian

Just another Reddit comment, written by myself, that I thought was too in depth to not post here.

And that’s the big difference, at least for me.

[sscrambledmeggss]

Odd how there’s so much focus on the Klaine height difference, until it involves the rock salt slushy incident 🤨

Kadam, kadam, I hear it and I know…

Blaine having Realizations™ while watching Kurt sing

Anyways, since I have apparently been mistaken for a Klaine fan, again, here is your periodic reminder that I Hate Blaine Anderson So Much. That is all.

Kurt admitting in the Whitney ep that him and Blaine have to schedule make out sessions will never not be fucking hilarious in a sad way.

Like two hormonal teen boys and they have to mark up their little gay calendars about when they're supposed to make out because that's what couples should do, right?

The lack of chemistry is crazy even Rachel was like "bro wtf" 💀

kurt & blaine's dynamic in a nutshell

[nicoise]

i actually blame blaine's parents for why he's Like That

i bet blaine's parents were decently loving (were genuinely concerned and spent time with him after the school shooting episode) but incapable of understanding him. and even though their view of him is incorrect, they still don't really like what they see (see: getting hands dirty to restore masculinity). blaine grows up being made to feel like there's something wrong with him which is why he tries so hard to sham normal. because he tries so hard, he's also afraid of messing up (silly love songs: "i don't wanna screw this up.")

because he doesn't trust his parents to not be judgmental of him, he stops confiding in them at a young age. this is consistent with how he ends up planning to transfer back to dalton in s4 without telling anyone, how he's so stubborn not to admit his guilty pleasure, and how he picks a fight with kurt about texting chandler rather than admit his worries about kurt going to NYC.

i feel like a major breakdown in his relationship with kurt was that bit in the s6 breakup: "i feel like you're just silently judging me." guess why he's sensitive about that

because blaine thinks that just being himself isn't enough to get people to like him, he goes out of his way to do things for people. he takes on the role of kurt's protector which lasts into s3 (michael slushie incident) and becomes insecure when he can't hold onto it (tested). he sang at the s2 prom even though it's not his prom or his glee club. he helped tina with her diva week thing even though he was sick. you get the sense that in some way helping people helps him feel secure in his self worth.

the distant-but-loving thing with his parents probably also explains why he's terrible at long distance relationships. it's easy for him to assume kurt forgot about him because he's already inclined not to fully trust people's affection for him
