Hi! I'm Rebecca (amoralnostalgia over at LJ).

My descent into the world of Glee was gradual. My best friend kept telling me over and over before season two started that, "Kurt is getting a boyfriend this year! Kurt is getting a boyfriend this year!" and I was like, "...I don't know who Kurt is." Then she was squeeing over Britney/Brittany when it aired, and made me watch some of the performances, and I was like, "That's nice, now let me go back to my obsessions". Then Never Been Kissed happened, and she made me watch the assault (which hit me just as hard then, having no knowledge of the show, as it does when I watch it today), and Teenage Dream ("I don't even watch the show, and I ship that. ... Wait, isn't that Harry Potter?"). Then she made me watch Baby It's Cold Outside ("Yes, yes, it's lovely, now please let me go back to my fandom").

After the hiatus, she made me (using the worst puppy-eyes imaginable) download The Sue Sylvester Shuffle and watch it with her. I was so confused during the entirety of that episode. Same with Silly Love Songs and Comeback (I'd heard they were doing MCR). I watched Blame It On The Alcohol by myself because I'd heard they were going to deal with bisexuality...yeah. It took me a long time to come around to Kurt after that. Sexy, though, and Landslide, was the moment I was in, completely. Original Song and The Kiss made us squee so hard that my mom asked if we were being butchered in there, and the rest, as they say, is history.

(There's this hilarious thing where I couldn't read porn about Kurt for the longest time, and I'd call my BFF with "I got through a handjob today!" and "I'm getting better, I'm almost there" and she'd do nothing but have hysterics. Finally I could only read very vanilla Klaine, which made me say things like "I read Klaine breathplay today! *proud*".

You can all rest assured that, nowadays, nothing is too dirty for me. It was a long, hard road, but I made it.)

I was in the lol-Glee camp for a while, but I am so glad I left that behind. It's funny, because. Well, I sort of went about it the opposite of what I usually do:

Supernatural:

1. The writers are gods.
2. The writers are human.
3. ...get me out of here, I can't stand it anymore.

Glee:
1. ...what the hell am I doing here, this is shit.
2. Okay, so they might have some idea of what they're doing.
3. The writers are gods.

I'm really glad this comm exists; I watch an episode and come away thinking, "That was the best ever! How could anyone hate this?" and then I go on Tumblr and everyone is like, "That was even worse than I imagined" and I get sad and frustrated and bewildered.

So, anyway. Hi. :)
