And then there's Kurt, who - do I need to say I've never seen Glee? I've never seen Glee. But I love Kurt in the fan fiction, so much so that it was a struggle to pick just one story from the fandom for this set. He's got the witty dialog going for him, and the intelligence, and this combined confidence and vulnerability that just makes me want to hug him and also want to enable him to skip his teenaged years entirely.
Glee has recently become My Most Fannish Currently Screening TV Show, so I was randomly thrilled to see a Glee rec, and then this comment about Kurt made me beam. Because, yes, he's so brave and determined to be himself and sharply sarcastic and occasionally has his heart broken. And I love that he's so... convinced of his own superiority and so bombastic, and I sort of want to wrap him up and take him a few years into his future, when it will be less small town bigotry and more NYC fantabulousness, but I also want to see him grow through teenage years and mellow a little, become a touch more considerate of other people and lose a little bit of the sharp, defensive edge.
Mostly, I'm just full of hearts for him. *hearts*
Although I tell you what, I would pay actual money for a ringside seat at the first attempt to put a tiara on Erik.)
Hee! That would be a show well worth the ticket price.
I guess technically I should also think the fine cast and crew of X-Men: First Class, except I have not actually seen the movie, and also I suspect they may not have been seeing the key X-Men relationships exactly the same way I do.)
Actually, there you're wrong. I mean, like it wasn't enough that dear James McAvoy summed up the film by saying that Charles and Erik should have been best friends and got married and had sex -- the entire film is basically a gay romance drama. See Charles and Erik meet! See them bond! See them reach each other and truly connect! See the darkness of circumstances and painful histories and personalities and political views cause them to break up and then have petty spats involving world dominationa dn deathcounts for years to come.
It's... pretty much exactly how I used to see their relationship, and it's totally worth seeing. Exspecially because young Xavier is still a bit dorky, such a geek, wonderfully optimistic and quietly priviledged in a way that's going to lead of decades of fighting with hiw on-again/off-again ex.
