I hear ya. I really want to lose some weight but I have health stuff that makes it difficult. But I don’t ever want to be skinny! I like being curvy and I know what it entails to get ripped/skinny and it’s not worth it to me. As for the episode, this isn’t a top 20 episode for me and that’s coming from a Klaine fan. Kurt’s storyline is great but Beiste and the boys had its sweet moments but is a little off putting.

2024-12-27 06:39:02 +0000 UTCBlaine: "I got taunted at my old school, and it really pissed me off. [. . .] I let bullies chase me away and it is something that I really, really regret." I know these lines are in there because they didn't plan to develop the character to the extent they did, but with the later context of Blaine's character - HONEY. "Taunted" makes it feel like they just called him names or whatever (which is still hurtful and awful, of course); but as he reveals later in this season, they beat the living crap out of him. I don't blame him for leaving! Honey, you didn't let them chase you away, you made a smart decision by leaving a dangerous situation!

2024-12-27 00:20:34 +0000 UTCI totally agree confidence is definitely key to how you are perceived. As a particularly short man (5,4) i used to struggle with my confidence, but I have grown to love my height and just be confident in it and it definitely makes a difference in how others have seen me. I think coach beiste is beautiful especially as you get to know the character more. It's the kindness and sweetness she has inside, it radiates out. I find that really attractive in people.

You had this whole storyline about them wanting to recognized as a woman and found attractive. For men to not think of them as just one of the guys. It's such a weird choice then to change things later. I'm all for having a trans character storyline with someone transitioning later in life, but, it just didn't make sense with this character.

2024-12-26 22:34:22 +0000 UTCI had similar struggles in school with teachers, my bus driver, etc seeing me getting bullied and doing/saying nothing. It's like they're too afraid of themselves getting in trouble or that kids parents coming after them to do something. I don't know. But it definitely hurt seeing the adults around you who were supposed the be looking out for you, that you could go to and trust... Watching as you got shoved around, things thrown at you etc. While I wasn't bullied due to being gay or anything like that I relate to how hurt Kurt feels about not having someone stick up for him. School rarely felt like a safe place for me.
