SEND ME META TO WRITE ABOUT!

writing about the unholy trinity in the canon universe is like grasping at straws, because writing about glee’s most ambiguous friendships is like playing a game of clue (it was quinn fabray, in the living room, with a baseball bat!). in the fandom, quinn, brittany, and santana as a trio are one of the most regarded, appraised, and loved friendships in glee history, but most of what the fandom believes is the unholy trinity as a single unit, comes from vague headcanons and assumptions drawn from barely-there evidence, because the unholy trinity actually does not have a lot of canon evidence to suggest they were as close as hummelberry or later on in the seasons, bram – because glee tends to discard friendships when they’re no longer useful for the plot or too tedious to write (rip quinncedes). glee however, made something very clear: the unholy trinity, at some points in time, worked together as a well oiled machine, a single unit of social terrorism who made sure everyone at mckinley high knew they were to be feared and respected. most importantly, quinntana made sure the entire student body was aware of this.

the strongest evidence that suggests the unholy trinity had a strong friendship didn’t come until season three, when santana name-drops The Unholy Trinity for the first time in canon, in 3x01 The Purple Piano Project, even Brittany states they were always “like the three musketeers”, to which santana adds that they “joined the cheerios together, all slept with puckerman the same year”. in 3x08 Hold On To Sixteen, when quinn says “i love you girls” and reminds them of their good times together, and then again during 3x21 Nationals - “the unholy trinity, starting together, ending together. just the way it should be”. then again, in the 4th season, when quinn suggests they once were so “in sync” that it only took a quiver of santana’s lip for all of them to know where they were gonna move or if their hips were gonna “shake or shimmy”, and lastly in the 5th season where they perform their own rendition of toxic in the choir room, and santana refers to them as The Unholy Trinity yet again.

based on vague comments and fanon assumptions, we know that: 1) the unholy trinity met sometime during their freshmen year of high school and carried their friendship to their cheer leading tryouts. 2) they’re the mckinley high cheerios’ superstars and 3) they’re almost always seen together, quinn in the middle, and santana and brittany at her flanks.

so, what was, ultimately, santana’s role in the unholy trinity?

its hard to say. we can make the assumption that quinn and santana called the shots at one point or another, more importantly, quinn usually took high command of the UT and used santana and brittany as her trustworthy sidekicks, but its also important to remember that quinn always treated them as her equals (more santana than brittany, since there’s strong evidence that suggests that quinn and brittany weren’t that close, but quinntana had a stronger bond). in season one, canonically speaking, brittana seem to detach themselves from quinn when they find out she’s pregnant – more so, even when quinn still hangs out with them (like the scene at the library where brittana are defacing the school yearbook), she’s promptly left out, but we see them interact in the background during musical numbers, in a rather fond display of affection. moreover, glee almost makes it seem like brittana can work just fine without quinn present (i.e: destroying finn’s relationship with rachel, taking sue’s orders, etc) but that’s not particularly true (though that’s a story for another day).

one thing is certain though – despite their tumultuous and ill-defined bond, santana lopez loved both quinn and brittany. brittana’s relationship doesn’t need an explanation, as their friendship and romantic interests were thoroughly revealed and expressed in glee canon, but santana also cared about quinn, even if she was awful at showing it at times. i have it in me to believe that, even if santana seemed to isolate quinn from her social circle in the first season, she still worried, still visited, still texted and asked if she was okay. that despite their constant, ongoing season two battles for dominance (especially after quinn drop kicked her from the pyramid and revealed her “summer surgery” to sue), she still loved her. in the nationals episode, santana worries about quinn’s well being and her state of mind before their final performance before finchel’s accidental sabotage that leaves santana reeling (we even see quinn holding santana back from attacking rachel in the hotel room). most importantly, the famous “quinn’s my homegirl” line in season 3, and her rather affectionate interactions in season 4, when they drop by unannounced at rachel’s loft to stop her from exposing herself a-la-nude to a bunch of college film students.

but the rest we’ll never know.

i love u my warrior pals

💚- 💙 - 💔 - 💜 - 💛 - 💟 - ❤

001 :  let’s be honest, the first time they meet, it’s probably at a club at 1am, and isaac probably goes home with him. weirdly, the next day, it isn’t awkward, because isaac’s talking about all of the art around sebastian’s (expensive) apartment, and makes amazing coffee (and omelettes lbr), and it’s strangely platonic given how easy it is for them to hook up (and they do, again).

002 :  sebastian teaches isaac about wine, food, and independent films. isaac teaches sebastian how to pass class without sleeping with your professor who is (sadly) female this semester.

003 :  they mostly sleep together out of convenience. neither one of them wants anything more, and if anyone were to ask them if the thing between them is serious, both of them would probably snort and “no, we really wouldn’t be compatible like that”. 

004 :  when isaac meets blaine, he feels weird about it. mostly because blaine seems so stupidly oblivious, yet sebastian is ass on backwards over this guy. sebastian and isaac are friends. isaac resents that blaine makes sebastian feel so insecure. pining doesn’t suit him, and it makes him feel really strange, watching sebastian fall to pieces over a guy who constantly laughs while fobbing off his advances. if you think isaac wouldn’t intervene and tell blaine to stop being an idiot, you really don’t know isaac at all lmao. he’d confront blaine while they’re alone and “listen, dude, sebastian is one of my best friends and he is ridiculous when it comes to you, so if you have no intention of ever dating him, please just disappear already so the poor guy can move on.” sebastian will not find out about this conversation until blaine outs isaac during his speech on their wedding day. xoxo
