[I guess there should be a spoiler warning for the Glee Live concert movie for stuff further down the page (alas, this wasn't the show that was filmed for the concert). Just in case.]

Before I left for working this morning, I saw the news from the final Glee Live concert (still in progress) spread via twitter, tumblr and other Glee forums - allegedly Naya Rivera (Santana) had come out onstage during the skit and kissed Heather Morris (Brittany), and then Darren Criss (Blaine) and Chris Colfer (Kurt) kissed too. At first, people were almost too afraid to believe it, thought everyone was being trolled, but it was true. Fandom erupted! THEY KISSSED trended on twitter! Alas, video hadn't surfaced before I left, but oh, the wait was worth it.

Because beyond any fandom-specific enjoyment, how fucking awesome is it to see an arena full of people, at a concert for a mainstream hit tv show, going crazy for two teen queer couples kissing? :D


(this is the best quality I've seen that had both, though I actually prefer this one for the Kurt/Blaine part, can see their faces better without the glare for more of it).

Probably the absolute best part for me, beyond the kisses, is the poem that Chris Colfer wrote for Kurt to read to Blaine. This is epic and hilarious and just makes me love Chris Colfer even more (which I wouldn't have thought possible).

Blaine Warbler Anderson
I have never loved another
except for last year
when I was in love with my stepbrother

(and it only gets better from there)

Some context - there was only 1 skit as part of the concert (they are more-or-less in character for the show), where Brittany announces that after striking out on the last tour because she was after Kurt (only skit on that tour I believe), she decided to set her sites on someone she could have - unfortunately, this turns out to be Kurt's boyfriend Blaine. Blaine lets Brittany down easily, Kurt appears to tell Brittany to stop hitting on his man, she leaves, Kurt (after increasing amounts of shenanigans) asks Blaine to join Glee club (and Darren is in the New Directions group numbers at the end of the show). And I'm not kidding about shenanigans - it started out with small customisations to various cities, grew (and in length too) to include costumes, leprechauns and commemorative plates (handmade by Chris Colfer). It's been fucking hilarious to follow, I'm so sad the tour is over.

It is seriously SO amazing. I have not been able to stop gleefacing over that fact alone. And the skit itself has been a DELIGHT AND A TREASURE, but seriously. So amazing!

Every night, the crowd went crazy for Kurt proposing to Blaine. And the only way to top that was for Santana to come claim Brittany with a kiss, and for Blaine to kiss Kurt.

How is this real? :D

This is basically the post I was intending on writing today, as someone who has a long history of adoring queer stage banter, this tour has been absolute perfection for me. It almost makes me sad that we have to go back to experiencing Darren and Chris saying lines someone else writes for them, they write their own so nicely!

I'm looking forward even more to getting to see/read Chris's own writing with his movie and books and tv shows and whatever else he does to conquer the world, after this taste on tour :)

I'd be perfectly content if Chris and Darren ad-libbed all Kurt/Blaine scenes from now on.

Edited just in case ;)

I keep thinking that, and then something like this happens ;)

Chris' commitment to trolling Darren is pretty much my favorite thing about them. They are the dorkiest of friends and it only makes their in-character stuff more adorable and hilarious. Also both kisses were really sweet and I was all ♥____♥ over the whole thing. :DDD

And I bet Naya's been wanting for Santana to whisk Brittany away all tour - I love them all for being so committed to their characters!

That poem is still cracking me up (like how he mouth's sorry after the growth spurt line).

OMG yes. I love them all ridiculous amounts. They are just a giant adorable cast of adorableness.

Re this past weekend - I feel like I have been gently kicked all through my middle. Why can I not leave cheese alone?

Why can cheese not leave you alone?

It chases me, it torments me, it follows me from shop to shop and restaurant to restaurant...

Like eating warm pooh.
