Hi everybody! It's Sam here. Shoelace, Buckle and superhero aficionado (mainly Supergirl, Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow).

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

Excellent performance. Or it would’ve been, had the assignment been a duet. Apparently, you both feel that you’re above this class, and all that governs it.

Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work.

going feral over the thought of Santana tricking Rachel into believing in herself by reading out negative reviews of Barbra

I’d go as far as saying there’s no one who knows Rachel better than this bitch I am COME ON there’s a reason she was called to the rescue

So, Quinn wants to get the hell out of Lima. She hates the place. It’s restrictive, and choking, and a lot of the ties she has there are toxic to one degree or another. She wants a place where she can stretch her wings and feel like she has actual prospects and where she can be gay. Her dream is to escape, and barring a couple of relapses and hiccups, she seems genuinely happier when she does. All she wants is to leave it behind and never return - and, on the unhealthier side, never think or talk about who she was when she was in McKinley.

And Rachel feels like the exact opposite? Oh, she has her dreams of New York, but Rachel is a big fish in a small pond, and she absolutely prefers it that way. She needs to be the most talented person in the room, and when she’s not, for someone that defines herself completely by her talent, it hits all her insecurities. Look at her reaction when she struggles in Cassandra’s class, or sees Harmony or her competition for NYADA - it’s a feeling familiar to any ‘gifted kid’ when you go from being the best in your class, to just being average. Rachel gets to New York, spirals, manages to get stability, but when it all falls apart, Lima and McKinley is a comfort to her in a way it never could be to Quinn. 

idk. That just fascinates me. Quinn was the queen bee, and she wants so much for it to be over and to leave it behind. Rachel was on the bottom of the social ladder, and yet there are times she’d prefer to head back there
