re: blaine and clothing expression/presentation. one thing i find really fascinating and want to make a bigger post about at some point is blaine’s shift in style from season 2 onward. bc while we mostly see him in his warblers unform, there are some casual outfits we see him in, and while there are some elements we’ll see down the line, they’re like… a lot more subdued than they are later on.
i do think a LOT (and shoutout to @tanhands for mentioning this bc Yeah) about what blaine might have been wearing at sadie hawkins. we have no idea! we have no idea if he used to dress much more similarly to the way he starts to and is coming back to it in season 3+ onward or if that’s new to him.
and i do have to wonder if part of the appeal of dalton when he transferred was the uniform. because it means that in his day to day life, he doesn’t very often have think about what to wear or how to present himself or how he wants to present himself! it’s already decided for him!
and ironically, that fact kind of gives him a safety net to shine as the leading frontman in the warblers. even when he stands out, he still looks like part of the crowd.
