AU Thursday: Switch

[jakia]

 

Today's AU of choice: Switch!  Or, if you'd like, Props-verse (ish)!

What if Kurt was a popular, closeted Cheerio, and Santana was the only out gay kid at McKinley?  What if Tina was a Warbler, and Blaine had a fake stutter and wore goth clothes?  What if Mercedes was the female lead instead of Rachel?  

Basically, take any two characters and switch them!  How does the story change? What stays the same?

Have fun!

LOL I really enjoyed all those gifs. Blaine is such a great Brittany. :D

Headcanon

[jakia]

Who would you switch with who? How do you think that'd work? Discuss any and all headcanon here!

Props!Verse

I'm not sure how AU this is since Glee used it for an episode, but let's talk about it here!

I mean, in this universe, Blaine is a misunderstood bad boy and Kurt is the Glee club leader and the captain of the football team. Puckerman wears bowties and Finn's something of a fashionista. Tina's the lead singer of the Glee Club, and Rachel wears goth clothes. Mercedes is a ditzy cheerleader and Brittany is a diva. Santana is in a wheelchair and Artie is the head Cheerio. Mike is religious and Joe just wants to dance. Rory was homeless and Sam's from Ireland. And Sugar had a baby while Quinn is a spoiled rich girl.

Have fun!

Suggestions for Future Weeks

[jakia]

Things I have planned:

- AU where everyone is the opposite gender

- Gleevengers

- What if...? Day. (What if Artie could walk? What if Quinn never got pregnant? What if Kurt was straight? What if Finn's dad never died? ect.)

- Supernatural Day (werewolves/vampires)

Any other suggestions?
