I Hope It Was, Like, A Good Cry.

Darren Criss and his perfectly triangular eyebrows perform an interview about his role as Blaine in song. No spoilers.

Darren Criss, you tremendous dorkface. Marry me immediately.


AND NOW I HAVE SEEN 'A VERY GLEE CHRISTMAS' AND KURT AND BLAINE ARE SO PRECIOUS

HERE IS A VIDEO OF THEM BEING PRECIOUS

(That clip has actually been floating around for a few days, but I managed to resist until the actual episode. I have willpower! So proud of myself. NOW WATCH IT (unless you are also a Glee fan waiting to see the episode itself), BECAUSE IT'S ADORABLE.

I mean, obviously you don't actually have to watch it, but if you are a fan of adorable boys adorably singing to each other I would highly recommend it.)


...yes, all right, this entry really does consist solely of two video links. I have had all the coherency knocked out of me. Seriously cannot remember the last time I 'shipped anything this hard. I hope you enjoy the clips, if you watch them! (Fear not; I'm sure I'll be back to posting excessively lengthy entries about things nobody watches before long.)

I'd quite like Darren Criss to narrate my life in song. He can marry you, but only if he can narrate my life for me as well.

I await it with SO MUCH AWAITING. <3

I like your entries about things nobody watches! They get me watching things, which leads to DVD-shopping, which leads to people like David Mitchell having more money (I bought so many DVDs, you wouldn't believe it).

You've gotten me into quite a lot of shows, and indirectly caused half of my DVD collection (and a few books), which means a lot of clever and amusing British people are getting money. You're saving the BBC!

Also, I was kicking myself when I realized I could have checked out The Mentalist on Hulu in Guam but forgot (by the time it occurred to me, I was in Pohnpei with the manta rays). Mostly because I want to do the one Psych crossover, and the only way I'm going to find anyone who's seen both shows and can tell me if it works is if I watch The Mentalist myself.

Oh my GOD blaine and Kurt are so CUTE. I love it!!!

Genuine downside to playing around in Glee fandom without watching the show: I had no idea until just now that Baby, It's Cold Outside hadn't aired yet. I also don't know whether the titles of future songs count as spoilers? So I may owe you and some other Glee fans an apology.

I do appreciate that song very much, though. I even showed it to my mum! (She was baffled, for the record). And for some reason, I have Blaine saying "baby, it's bad out there" playing on a continual loop in my head. D:

ALSO DARREN CRISS Y U NO BE MY BOYFRIEND.

I bought Baby, It's Cold Outside from iTunes today, and I have MOAR THOUGHTS.

Mostly along the lines of,

1. I make a big deal out of some of Blaine's lines, but UNF HOLY SHIT KURT'S VOICE ALL THE TIME.
2. I'm so very glad they picked a song which has gratituous use of endearments.
3. There's a whole bit in this version that wasn't in the episode? Because I swear I would've remembered Blaine singing 'Gosh, your lips look delicious'. (Or he did sing it, and I went temporarily mad with hnnnnnng)

He keeps failing to be our boyfriends! It is very inconsiderate of him.

I know! He's just so wholly lovely. His twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/darrencriss) is cuter than a basket of kittens.

DARREN CRISS, YOU DORK. I want squish his little face. I have found my perfect man BUT HE IS FAMOUS AND IN A DIFFERENT COUNRTY oh cruel world.

Also I need to get hold of A Very Glee Christmas like NOW. I keep forgetting when it airs because I am made of fail.

I think the collective 20-something female Glee-watching portion of the internet are just constantly crying DARREN CRISS Y U NO BE MY BOYFRIEND now.

I haven't! I've heard the song, though. I AM GOING TO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW.

[identity profile] emmarrrrr.livejournal.com 2010-12-08 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
So I just watched it and DARREN CRISS MARRY ME RIGHT NOW OH MY GOD.

Also "On the upside, I'm in love with him and he's gay. I call that progress." OH KURT. SO ADORABLE.

AND WILL'S GIFT IDEAS FOR SUE! 2) A Soul

So I just actually finished the episode and. OH MY SHIT, ARTIE! /flail

And Sue! ♥ I knew there was a reason I loved her so much. "Don't worry, it's not going to explode."

Weirdly, the emptiness of the school made me think of your fic yesterday, at least until Will walked in. And even a bit, then.

I was thinking exactly the same thing as I was watching, too! Eerie!

Hello, I hope you don't mind that I friend you since I'm always in search of people who fangirl Glee (and Darren Criss, oh my god I swear that he is the epitome of all I ever want in a man) and your fics are fantastic.

Kurt/Blaine and BICO has made me ship something harder than I have ever shipped in my life. I don't ever remember being this emotionally involved in a couple, ever. This is the combined awesomeness that is Chris Colfer and Darren Criss.

I remember hearing the gay mentor role for Kurt and my face was " -_____-" with a healthy dose of "DNW".

Then Darren Criss was cast and I immediately freaked out on Facebook and Twitter. I've been a StarKid fan for quite some time and all the girls in my hall are big StarKid fans. It was kind of mind-blowing for all of us. :)

I'm also torn! I love gradual build up! But Kurt and Blaine have so much chemistry that it makes me want to scream. With the exception of Will/Emma, most of the other couples have gotten together relatively quickly... so having them drag this out makes me wish Kurt and Blaine would get together as quickly as Sam/Quinn.

I hope they're not boring! I can imagine them being cute and adorable (like Tina/Mike) and they could go on hilariously awkward double dates with Finn/Rachel.

Oh my god, that interview thing is the best thing ever. How is he so awesome? Seriously! It's like he's made of rainbows and puppies! (And he totally called it - I want Kurt to have a boyfriend so there can be pretty boy canoodling on my TV. Well, fine, not just for that but come on, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't appreciate that a whole bunch.)

And also I want them to spend aaaaages being adorable around each other but never quite getting together
Oh yes yes yes. I want that too! Because seriously, why else would there be tons of fic and movies and stuff where it's about getting together, not being together? I love all that stuff. (And joking aside, re: the pretty boy canoodling, of course I want there to be an actual story about it too. ♥)

Having known about StarKid from AVPM, I cannot properly quantify the ridiculous level of SHEER UNBRIDLED SQUEE that is coming from the sudden arrival of Darren Criss's Magical Rocket Pony to Fame and Fortune™. Seriously, I figured his popularity would explode after being cast in Glee. I did NOT expect for his popularity to go thermonuclear and for him to suddenly be thrust into the stratosphere of fangirl squeeing and appearing in magazines and in news articles and at famous people events and ON MY TELEVISIONS ahfdjklsdjgljel3i3rjil3 and now he is a regular (HE WAS ORIGINALLY ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE IN THREE EPISODES OH MY GOSH) and his songs are selling like crazy on iTunes. I just. I can't even. ♥

And yes, Kurt and Blaine are tres adorable. Is it kind of strange that I am glad we still don't know too much about him? I keep worrying the writers are going to ruin him somehow. >_>;;
