firthgalI hate tumblr! I hate I hate I HATE STUPID TUMBLR! (I was totally channeling Hook there, did you notice? No? Too dorky for you? Okay. Oh gosh, through related videos I just found this, AND IT IS AMAZING! Ahahaha, had that song existed when I was 6, I would have been obsessed with it). Anyway, before I got sidetracked there, I was talking about my ire for Tumblr. UGH, I HATE IT. What is up with the search function? Why do people tag stuff so drastically different so that I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING? How do I make the pictures/posts bigger so that I can actually SEE them? My poor, poor eyes are straining like the constipated devil on a toilet. Ugh, why is all the good stuff at that confounding website? Hmph. And now, when I go to tumblr.com, it won't let me search without signing up first. WTF is that? Bastards. I guess I have to make one eventually since most of my flist has set up shop there, but ugh. I DON'T LIKE IT. Mind you, I always say that about new things, and then once I get used to them I fall in love, but... I HATE TUMBLR.
My reasoning for venturing to Tumblr, as you may have well guessed, is that I've pretty much replaced Jeff/Annie in my heart with Will/Rachel. HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN? I mean, I've always shipped them, but I've never really been into the fandom aspect of them because I do NOT want to get so ridiculously invested in them, because if I get invested in something on Glee, I AM BOUND FOR HEARTBREAK. Just, no, world, DON'T LET ME GET INVESTED. But here I am, reading awful fic about them and enjoying it, obsessively watching their scenes together and finding all the little things that I had missed before, drooling over pretty GIFs and picspams, and... well, I am doomed. Doomed doomed doomed. At least Jeff/Annie has a tiny chance of happening! Will/Rachel? Nothing. Nada. Not a chance in hell. BUT THEY ARE BOTH SO BEAUTIFULLY AWFUL THAT THEY ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. I don't know how, but when they're together, they just become better people, even though they are both so self-centered and obsessed with success. They are able to really see each other in a way that no one else can (and they have trouble seeing other people with the same clarity, hence their unluckiness in love). They see each other's flaws and they see each other's potential for greatness and they see each other's fragility and insecurities despite their giantass egos and they care about each other's opinions and, they just... well, LOOK AT THEM!
♥ ♥ ♥
I am depressed though that there are so few fics out there for these two. And what there is is pretty lacking. However, I have manged to come upon a few good ones:
The Map is not the Territory by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitsune13 - By far the greatest Will/Rachel fic out there. It is amazing from start to finish and so magnificently in character that it jives with canon superbly well.
Peer Review, also bykitsune13 - You know, when I finally decided that I was going to read Will/Rachel fic, I was particularly looking for a future fic where Rachel comes back to McKinley High and gets to be Will's colleague and they argue in the same adorable/hot way that they did when Rachel was in glee, but this fic kind of took that idea and made it even better than I had imagined, where Will briefly becomes Sue and Rachel becomes Will and it's hilarious, but then they also connect to each other as equals and discover this whole new relationship and it's just awesome. I love it.
Ordinary Thursdays bymilk_and_glass - A bit of an angsty take on Will/Rachel. I love the poeticness of this one.
I Wish (We Were Older) byideaofglam - I think I mainly liked this one because the Rachel voice was so flawless. It's pretty much just porn, but the author so beautifully captured the intensity of Rachel Berry's personality that I simply could not resist it.
And, just to tempt you all further, have this vid (which I have linked to before, possibly more than once, but it is so spectacular that I simply don't care that I'm being repetitive):
*dreamy sigh*
PS
I think I've figured out how to go directly to those posts on that tumblr with the tiny entries in order to make them bigger! Woohoo, go me! (it is so sad that I'm proud of myself for such things)
