Hear me out... Be More Chill Glee AU

I KNOW! I KNOW! “EW WTF OP GLEE SUCKS!!!!” I HEAR YOU, AND I AGREE!…

However…

I cannot pass up the opportunity to not only make an AU where the Squip Squad is performing ON STAGE in front of the state of New Jersey in flamboyant outfits, being bullied for being in a glee club, getting to know each other at a NORMAL pace, and all other pros you can think of for having free reign over SOPHOMORE YEAR SQUIP SQUAD being in a glee club, but also make Glee have a more bearable fucking plot line.

Obviously, in my head, this is how the universe is built (I imagine them as the Two River Theater cast because that’s the version I heard first, but whichever you prefer):

Jake is Finn. Dad’s dead, mom is barely holding it together and he’s really trying here, man. His friends on the team are douche-canoes, and he knows that, but he can’t just blow them off. He’s hoping to get into college with a football scholarship, but he might have to join the army. Joined the club because the Football coach who he sees as a father figure (maybe Mr. Heere?) said he needed to get out of his comfort zone more.

Chloe is Santana. Ruthless, but still a fan favorite nonetheless. Very closeted Lesbian (Or whichever sexuality you headcanon her as), and she’s just all around full of nothing but sass. Extremely soft for Brooke and Brooke only. Joined Glee club because Brooke thought it would be fun.

Brooke is Brittany. Not the brightest, but lovable and huggable all the same. Adores Chloe and is the only one who can get through to her, and always has the best jokes that aren’t meant to be jokes but still are. Joined cause she thought it would be fun.

Jenna is Quinn. You love her, but God do you hate her. She’s nice to pretty much everyone who isn’t in Glee club, despite being in said Glee club, and is still the main source of gossip. Joined to be able to clown on everyone, also because Brooke and Chloe joined.

Rich is Rachel (**collective booing**). I KNOW! WHY WOULD I DO THAT TO HIM? Well, easy, he’s not popular in this AU. Rich still very much has his lisp, he is still very much a closeted Bi, still very much in love with someone he can’t have (you guessed it, Jake), and yet much more bearable than Rachel. Joined Glee club to try and get some friends, not to be the worst person on Earth.

Christine is Artie. She’s not in the spotlight, but she doesn’t mind. She would enjoy getting maybe one or two more duets with people, but it’s not a big deal. She’s absolutely chilling, and I don’t see why she shouldn’t be. Everyone adores her, she skips through the halls and people should find it annoying, but her personality is electric so it’s hard to be mad at her for anything. Is the main reason the Glee club even came back. Stan Christine Canigula for clear skin.

Jeremy is Tina. Shy, still has a great voice, underappreciated, and style kinda wack but we love that for him you know? Doesn’t speak up much for fear of being judged, and joined the Glee Club on the premise of “The bullying couldn’t get any worse”. He was wrong, but at least he has a place to hang out after school.

Michal is Mike. Yeah, not much changed name wise, but also because he’s just so mellowed out, you know? Incredible dancer, free spirited guy, listening to Bob Marley in his headphones even though he swears it’s like, drake or something. He hates Drake though. No one knows why. Joined Glee so he could dance publically and not get judged for it, also because that Jeremy kid is cute.

Mr Reyes is Mr. Shue but not the creepiest guy on the planet who blackmails people into joining Glee Club. Cares for his students and gets close to them without becoming unprofessional. Helps his students through their issues instead of adding to them. No weird rivalry thing between him and the Cheer Coach. Revived Glee club because Christine asked him 80000 times and he was tired of hearing about it.

Speaking of, The Squip is the cheer coach! Not in a villainous way, also his name is Steven, or Samuel, or some shit like that, but just to be a cheer coach. Sure, maybe his methods cross the line a bit, but it’s nothing bad. Still a dick, but in an endearing way.

Ship wise it goes:

RichJake/Arson Bros because I am a sucker for these nerds, and also big tall little small dynamics are my everything. They have a lot of potential, and they play off of each other really well. All in all, great relationship.

Boyf riends because I feel they can be great together, especially without the whole “I ignored you for months because I was high on a quantum nanotechnology CPU from japan that manipulated me” issue. Not to mention they care for each other really deeply, so that’s a plus.

Pinkberry because no one can convince me these two wouldn’t be the school power couple in every universe. Chloe is that bitch, and Brooke is the sweet after taste that hits you after the fiery tang. Already super close, and would totally bond over dumb stuff in this universe.

Friendship wise:

Obviously the Unholy Trinity is still together in this universe, like, duh.

Jake and Michael are on the football team together. I know nothing about football but I know that I enjoy the ‘football players that are soft af but only in private’ trope so yeah. But because they are on the football team, of course they know the Unholy Trinity.

Rich and Jeremy are super close, like best friends since kindergarten close, because I said so. Jeremy ISN’T an ass friend in this universe because I’m honestly tired of the whole “Jeremy is a dick but we’ll give him a pass because main character” shit. He’s a genuinely good friend, and that is obvious. Rich is an absolute sweetheart, and in that way they are similar.

Plot:

Take Glee season one. Cool! Now make it even better! Take away those weird lines you always found questionable, the story lines that made you cringe, and the rivalries that made no sense. Make these kids actually care about each other, not like each other one minute and be tearing at eachothers throats the next. Yes, you can have drama. Make Chloe want to leave the club for good, have Jeremy feel like he’s not good enough to be in the club, have Christine feel responsible for either of those happening, but make it a lot more likely than most of the drama on Glee.

There’s A LOT you could expand on with everything I’ve given, but this is just what my brain has come up with so far.

Feel free to write it if you want, maybe link to this post or something idk, because I don’t think I’d do it justice. It would be a banger to read

though.

This Brand Is Making Swimwear For The Trans Community

A lot of transguys or masculine people aren’t comfortable with wearing a bikini top, so they get stuck wearing shirts in the summertime, or settling for something that doesn’t make them feel confident.

The Rhodes siblings are currently fundraising for the Bareskin Top, which comes in four skin-tone options, on Kickstarter

Linda got some catches-

When I say, “My anxiety is acting up,” I’m really saying, “There’s no reason to be afraid. It’s just my disorder talking, and I can do something to calm down.” It’s positive.

When I say, “My depression is bad today,” I’m really saying, “I’m not worthless and I don’t deserve to die or give up. It’s just my disorder talking, and I should get up and look for what’s good about today.” It’s positive.

When I say, “My ADHD means my brain is wired differently,” I’m really saying, “I’m not a stupid piece of shit who will amount to nothing. It’s just that my brain needs help making certain connections and chemicals, and with certain processes, and there are lots of things I can try to work with it instead of against it.” It’s positive.

Talking about and accepting my disorders is the most radically positive thing I can do. It isn’t pessimism; it’s optimism. It isn’t defeatism; it’s hope. It’s direction, and action, and learning to regain control of my life.

So I don’t give a fuck if it annoys you or makes you uncomfortable. I don’t care if you think I need to think of myself as “more than my disorders”. Because I don’t think that having disorders makes me lesser. And I’m not going to silence myself because you disagree.

You’re fucking wrong, and I won’t let my own silence be the death of me.

An Updated Help Post,

I am sorry, first off. I hate asking for help but now things are very bad. I'm Blake H, a trans man living with my two best friends and our dogs during this fun quarantine 2020. As people may know from my prior post, I'm working through a fresh diagnosis of Ménière's disease. For people who do not understand or don't know of this disease, I deal with these symptoms literally every waking moment of my life:

Dizziness and Vertigo

Tinnitus, fullness, and clogging in my ear

Hearing loss (half-permanent in my right ear)

Imbalance, motion sickness, nausea

Rapid involuntary eye movement

Random spots of blindness, temp loss of vision

Fainting spells

Weakness and fatigue

It sucks.

But, I am trying to make the best of it. I have appointments made in the future to work on this. This is one expense, but this is months on now. I am functioning okay right now, thanks to help to this point. I am the only one working currently so I have to make the best of it.

But this is where things get tough now, we need rent.

What I did put aside to help with rent after the fact of things, is gone. It's been a long month here. We need a total of 715 for rent by the 1st. If anyone can help with that, I'd be beyond words.

But that's not all!

Our car is dead. We need to get a battery. Yay.

Idk prices on that, I don't speak car, but my roommate says it isn't that much, like 50 or something. We do also need 300 there for a car payment though. Yaaay. We can't drive it regardless so even if we were to get the battery we can't drive until the payment is made. Yaaaaay.

And, last but not least. The biggest and most sudden issue:

One of our dogs needs to go to the vet. Badly.

He is not doing so well. He has a bad ear problem and they are now leaking pus and brown goop/old blood, and for him, he is old himself and I can tell it causes him a lot of discomfort and pain. But the boy wags his damn tail all day regardless. He NEEDS to desperately see a vet to get medication for his ears, we have to figure out why they're draining so badly now. I was told my roommate found a place that will take him walk-in for a couple hundred (200) so I'm going to say that's my goal for my boy Charlie here, he deserves to feel better.

If anyone at all out there can help my dysfunctional household, and help us stay afloat, I'd give you the damn world if I could. If anyone requires proof of anything here, just message me. I will answer everything anyone asks of me, especially right now. I want to live, I want my kids here to survive, I want my dogs to be okay. We need this roof.

Thank you for reading and spreading if you do, I love you all and be safe.
