An analysis on Finn Hudson and “what the hell house is he in” -prompted by @grouchycritic7794’s comment on my Kurt post
First off there isn’t a chance in all of the nine circles of hell that this boy is a Ravenclaw. Not because he’s dumb, but because he doesn’t see any value in wisdom. And I’ll be the first to admit that S4 Finn was (mostly) wise. But our boy has no wit or care for knowledge. So Ravenclaw is the easy out.
Slytherin is another easy out in my opinion. His entire S3 struggle was about how he wasn’t as ambitious as Rachel and early S4, had it been given the proper dedication, would have been him accepting that that’s okay. That he doesn’t need to have insanely huge dreams to be of worth. Some might claim, “But Lo! By your definition he admires ambition so he should go in Slytherin!” (Yeah let’s be real most people aren’t saying that, but) This is true, I do say that they need to have the traits of the house in high regard. However, they need to hold it in the same regard that they would try to act on it in their own life. The perfect example being Neville, who admires the bravery of others and uses their example to build himself. So, in the case of Finn, Slytherin is out.
Now onto the harder decisions. Yes Finn is very brave and chivalrous. Most of his character arcs revolve around him choosing the untraveled road, the path that takes more bravery. And he was fairly chivalrous with various people in his life. Not the best but not nearly the worst of Glee. However I see his bravery as a subset of his larger character growth, I would even go as far to say he was only brave in defense of the people he was loyal to...
Hufflepuff. So I know there are going to be objections. Objections about how he is lazy and unkind and doesnt fit the soft puff mold. I will never agree with many of the words and decisions Finn has said and made, however Glee was always trying to show that he was learning. Glee was just somewhat bad at their jobs. He was a kid who had been with the wrong crowd for years, he was the standard American way to look into this group of weirdos and learn how to empathize and accept them. Sometimes they did it right and he came off as a good man and a hero. Sometimes they did it wrong and he came off as trite and even worse than before. But at his core he was a child learning who he should be loyal to. He was loyal to the jocks until he realized that they didn’t deserve that loyalty and then he mostly committed to glee club (rewiring everything you’ve ever been loyal to is a hard process). When Quinn is having his baby he is trying his best to be hardworking so he can support the family he thinks he’s going to have. And after the anger at Puck they still make up, it takes time because as a Hufflepuff who’s loyalty has been tested he’s going to have troubles trusting them. As a teacher at McKinley he shows the best of his Hufflepuff qualities with his dedication to those kids, and though he had stumbles along the way I truly believe he is a Hufflepuff.
A Sugar Motta Rewrite
So let’s be real I’m probably just projecting a ton, but I think that with a few adjustments Sugar had potential as a character. So this is my Sugar Motta rewrite, inspired by @kurthummeldeservesbetter
So about the Aspergers… by this time aspergers was already no longer an medical term, it would be on the autistic spectrum. But the thing is with the way they did it it just came off like she was pretending to be neurodivergent to get away with saying things? I don’t think that is good rep and for this rewrite I’m going to say she isn’t on the spectrum because I wouldn’t know how to write that correctly and glee sure didn’t.
Now on her singing (this is where the projecting comes in). I think that a really good use of her would be to have this girl who loves to sing and loves to dance. But doesn’t realize that she’s really not that great at it. Her dad tends to spoil her and he doesn’t want to hurt her by telling her that she’s not good enough. So when she auditions for ND she still has that air of superiority and still does terribly. When Mr Schue doesn’t let her in the club she’s heartbroken. This is the first taste of reality she’s gotten about her own voice. So the troubletones still happen (but I would totally send different people over there, much more similar to @kurthummeldeservesbetter’s). When the ex New Direction members show up they realize that this gatekeeping they participated in, towards someone who so obviously cares about music was really just hurting the arts at their school.
It’s around this point that I would want Sugar to get a number, that isn’t perfect, but shows that she’s a quick study and is trying really hard at this. When the Troubletones fold back into the New Directions it would be great to have a plotline where Sugar is worried that she still won’t be good enough for them. And then someone (preferably Kurt because I’m a sucker for him mentoring and protecting the newbies) would give Sugar a pep talk about loveing the music and working hard and how they were wrong.
Idk I feel like this would have been a good use of Sugars character? To provide some juxtaposition to the main club who all came in and could sing like professionals, having someone work towards that goal is really important to me. It also would have given her a plot line beyond the Valentine’s Day episode and then maybe people would have liked her enough that she wouldn’t just disappear all the time in the next two seasons. And then Sugar could be a really interesting character to look through the eyes of in 4x01. With them bullying everyone? Idk I thought this would be cool.
Ugh going through tumblr is fun cause I’ll spend a while scrolling and wonder why I’m not seeing someone I normally see, and I’ll look into it and for some reason I’m not following them anymore??? Like I’ve had to refollow 3 blogs this week alone that I know I’ve been following for ages
🎶We all live in a yellow submarine🎶 hi yes this one is for you @jazziergin
Kurt and Blaine breaking up was absolutely necessary for them to realize what they actually wanted in partners and for Kurt to finally sit down and process everything they had been through
