Also keep in mind Naya was just 23 years old when Glee first came on. And Glee was kind of her comeback role, she’d had a career as a kid and then had a tougher time finding work. Ten years ago, being more coy and wink wink nudge nudge about it would’ve probably been the easier way to play it but she really didn’t. She kept saying on every panel, every interview I ever saw - that it wasn’t a joke and it was people’s real lives and she was happy people felt seen through her work. I just remember it meant a lot at a time when other actors who played queer favorites would often kind of play it off or try to answer things in a way that was very “BUT I’M STRAIGHT NO ONE GET THE WRONG IDEA!!!”. She never did that. She was gracious about it and still funny and witty and sharp as hell. 

I don’t know I just really admire the way she had pride and wouldn’t let people shame her or others. She wouldn’t let interviewers laugh representation or fans off, and she wouldn’t let the press or other people shame her for things - she went on freaking lipsync battle and did a song her ex wrote to diss her for crying out loud. She wrote a very honest autobiography and didn’t back down from difficult topics or stories where she wasn’t perfect, and she tackled questions (at times invasive ones) about those things from the press with grace and humor. 

Adhd Brain: :(

Me: ... So I'll start by making a bullet-point list of everything and check things off as I go

Nick and Amy will be gone. But then, we never really existed. Nick loved a girl I was pretending to be.
