damnedifido:needsmoregreen:lettersfromtitan:crown-of-weeds:rainbowrites:luckyjak:strangesilences:myfeetlitup:You guys are all really graceful eaters.meanwhile…THIS GIVES ME FEELSYet another way Blaine Anderson is shocked and horrified by McKinley“Randomly bursting into song in the hallways to express you ~feelings, I can get behind that whole heartedly. Not preparing your setlist, I can go with. Having random drama that inexplicably seems to happen every Tuesday, sure fine what ever. Having a teacher try to make us use power tools that we are not qualified to use, I guess I can go along with that.BUT BAD TABLE MANNERS?”I can picture ND going out to get deep dish pizza (a Chicago specialty) to celebrate their ND win, and then everyone just…staringat Blaine as he daintily cuts up his pizza with a knife and fork. Pizza hanging from their mouths from when they were stuffing it into their literal pieholes with their bare hands.….I can picture that really clearly and it is hilarious.Class issues remain the third rail of fandom I don’t wanna touch, but here’s one of those moments where, at least with selective .gif’ing it feels like Glee is giving us data re: Blaine.But then did everyone forget how Blaine also chows down on biscotti and talks with his mouth full in 2x11?(Which, I mean, fits in with the whole “Blaine is a chameleon” thing and also the “Blaine is a lot more proper around Cooper/his family” thing, but I just thought I’d point that out.) Obvs none of that negates the class thing but it’s something to consider?I also think there’s something (else) in the fact that we’ve seen everyone on this show eating or making and preparingfood or sitting down for lunch multiple times, but we’ve only seen Blaine with food like twice. (But then in season 2 that was because he was a ghost and couldn’t nom.) ((But on a different note, jesus I get antsy about table manners sometimes. I mean I had an totally annoying reaction to that scene in Big Brother because all I could think was NO BLAINE STOP CUTTING YOUR LETTUCE THAT IS THE WORST. Yeah, okay, six years at a private girls school and a brief stay in a bourgeois part of France have made me a bit of an asshole.))He’s actually not cutting his salad! He’s eating in the British style, where we hold onto our knives and forks at all time and use the knife to push food onto our forks. Which I bet comes from Darren, since his dad’s British and his mum’s Filipina - I don’t know about the Philippines, which is much more Americanised for obvious reasons, but here in Japan at least, they hold cutlery in the British style. So, class AND race implications here. -- source link
