glee had its highs and lows but no low was lower than that goddamn stupid ass double wedding episode. everything about that was genuinely unforgivable. brittana, as much as i adore them, spend the entire show sidelined and underdeveloped in favour of the other couples, including klaine. and after the train wreck dumpster fire that was klaine's failed engagement, compared to the perfection of brittana's, i was so happy (especially as a lesbian myself) that they were finally getting their chance in the spotlight. but then, in tv's worst plot twist oat, brittany and santana tell kurt and blaine that they want them to also get married at their wedding. brittany tells kurt and blaine that the entire time she was planning the wedding, all she could think about was them. ughhh seriously? she wasnt focused on herself, her soulmate, and her beautiful relationship but a different couple entirely? and while i can understand feeling inspired by klaine to be openly queer, i hateddd how they were basically given credit for brittana- "i wouldnt be here if it wasnt for you guys". actually no brittany you absolutely would have because in s1 you literally tell the entire glee club that you and santana were fucking and that was long before klaine. speaking of santana, this woman was livid when kurt gave out to her and brittany for getting engaged, when he was saying they were too young and just taking out all his baggage on them. and now i love kurt but he was so wrong for this and santana had every right to call him tf out!! but if she had such a problem with him sharing his unwanted opinion about their engagement, then WHY is she so chill, even happy, to share her wedding with him? and yes this is framed as something brittany wants more than santana and santana's doing it for her, but we literally just watched santana refute brittany's obsession with wedding superstitions and call her out for acting overly paranoid so if she can put her foot down to that, she would have to this as well. shes not a passive person by any means.

not only does this make zero sense for brittana it dosent make any sense for klaine either. kurt and blaine have canonically been discussing their future wedding since high school, even planning a whole moulin rouge duet together. not to mention, kurt also almost single-handedly planned burt and carole's wedding at the age of 16, and now we are expected to believe he's not only completely on board with an impromptu wedding, but an impromptu BARN wedding. i'll admit it's not something i expected for brittana either but at least for them it has emotional significance given it's where brittany was born. but this is the last place i would expect klaine to get married. hell, it's not even a good time for them to get married, having literally gotten back together that morning with about a hundred issues still on the table to discuss. my opinions regarding klaine are...mixed, to say the least and i think i would have liked them so much more had the writers actually had them address and solve their issues instead of just shoving them back together. like, they had literally just broken up with their other partners- kurt with walter and blaine with dave (but not complex, interesting dave nooo this is new and improved doormat dave because the writers' idea of a redemption arc is erasing all flaws i guess) i digress. burt and carole give them some whatever speech about living in the moment and then no1 klaine shipper sue sylvester says they need to get married. why do kurt and blaine need to get married, right this second, you may ask? not explained! they just do! and they do. they just fully agree to this after sue and brittana's confusing persistence. it's ooc for both of them but especially kurt. he was firmly against both finchel and brittana's young engagements and told brittany he believes couples should wait until 30 to get married. yes he did accept blaine's proposal at 19 but i think a lot of that had to do with how grand and blown out the proposal was, especially since he didnt seem excited about it at all on the way there. (of course he loves blaine and that was obviously a key reason, but he was also definitely pressured into saying yes). so for him to now happily agree to get married at a wedding not even designed by let alone for, him and blaine, dosent make any sense.

but oh the episode's shittacular stupidity dosent end with the brittana-klaine nonsense! by any chance does anyone remember this super niche background character what was her name like quinn fabray or something? yeah wasnt she like kinda friends with brittany and santana? anyone remember that? well the writers clearly didnt. look okay maybe dianna agron was unavailable but the fact theres no in-universe explanation as to why 1/3 of the unholy trinity isn't attending the wedding of the other 2/3 is baffling, especially considering that puck, and the new new new directions are all there. and then they pull out the OTP hats and don't sing a single lgbt song and that was the cherry on top of the disaster wedding cake. and oh my god i nearly forgot about tina proposing to mike. ....why?
