For movie or TV muses, what is a scene with your muse that you hate? Why? Can you show a screenshot?
I freaking hate this scene right here. That’s the biggest one! Yep. I deal with it but I don’t like it. Zero much. I feel like I understand the spiral that lead him to that point. Keeping his flaws is important to me. But damn I just really didn’t like it. They could have broken up for different reasons. Him feeling abandoned, fights about distance and all that jazz. Just..grrr. Bitter J!
What is your ideal AU for your muse?
So many!! The first one that comes to mind?? I love my piano man verse. It’s got everything I want to write with him for a long time in it. He’s on his own, kinda lost faith in himself and detached from most of his friends. He’s not completely unhappy. He has a boss he loves and a place to work that treats him well. But he knows he shrugged off a lot of where he could have been because he gave up. Doesn’t like that cause it goes against everything he’s ever told others who thought of doing the same. But finds comfort in the routine he’s in. There’s so many aspects of whys, hows, what ifs and potential AUs of the AU! Explaining it here doesn’t do it much justice. I will gush about it to anyone tho!
What is something that was never addressed at all in the canon material that you have independently developed for your muse?
A lot. Like. A ton. LOL! I think one of the most detailed other than Blaine’s family history would be the whole Eli C thing. Who he is. Why Blaine turned to him as the person to cheat with. And all the reasons why you’d have to knock me out to take it away. As always, give me a poke for more thoughts on this guy. Cause I have plenty! 😛
Have you made any outright changes to the canon material in order to write your muse the way you wanted (entire scenes you chose to omit, chapters you say never existed, things you assume were never said, etc.)?
Nope! I don’t negate the mistakes Blaine made in order to play him. I don’t downplay his relationships with people. I don’t make him a victim to his blunders. There are reasons behind the dumb things he’s done sometimes but they are far from excuses. At least in my canon verses. There are things in some AUs that I’ve completely changed and I’m willing to do that always. However, I won’t change who Blaine is at his roots. He’s an adaptable character though and I love that about him. I can put him about anywhere and not turn him completely OOC. Wish Glee could have but alas! That’s what writing is for!
What is an aspect of your muse’s canon material or canon existence that you never had the opportunity to explore but really want to?
BIGGEST!?!?! Pre-Dalton Blaine!!! I have so much I want to write about that. Also, his relationship with the Warblers after leaving and how it changed as they drastically changed. I’d love to write more on him as a father and how his career ended up post S6!

Who Is Eli C.? pianokeysandbowties headcanon number: who knows by now!
Okies! Strap yourselves in! I’m gonna put this on my blog because it’s been in my head for a very long time now and I just shared it with a friend. I really should jot this down to keep instead of typing it out every time!
So! Blaine was the only out kid at Central High School besides one other boy. I imagine that Blaine was the one that really really pushed for them to go to the dance together to be out and proud and be themselves. The boy agreed, reluctantly at first, and then we all know what happened afterwards. Blaine felt completely humiliated and guilty for being the one to push so hard for considering that the other boy’s concerns actually did happen. (Also why he is so freaking hesitant about Kurt pushing so hard for prom and tells him what happened.)
In the aftermath, the boy’s parents made him cut all ties with Blaine. He wasn’t allowed to contact him, he wasn’t allowed to see him. Blaine was gone to another school and the boy’s parents wanted Blaine out of their son’s life. Blaine’s parents went for it because Blaine’s dad didn’t approve of them going to the dance together in the first place. The fact that his son ignored his wishes and did it anyway infuriated him.
Blaine and the other boy stopped talking and ended all contact. But! Blaine never had that closure because of it. He never really got to apologize and say he was sorry and get forgiveness. Even though he was the one hurt the most because he was so much smaller, the boy got messed up pretty bad too. Blaine never forgave himself for that and it’s a guilt that he carried to Dalton and beyond.
Jump to a couple years later! And this guy friends him on facebook, without a picture, without anything but this name that Blaine swears is the middle name of the guy he went to the dance with. Or maybe it wasn’t? Its been a couple years..maybe not? When they were talking, Blaine was saying how lonely he was, how he felt abandoned by Kurt and that Kurt didn’t want him anymore because New York City was his life. The guy was like “want to come over” etc. Almost kinda catfishing him but not? Like not telling him who he was? But not hiding it either? Except that one big hint of his middle name Eli (which he goes by at his new school because he, too, ended up transferring to South a few weeks after Blaine left for Dalton), sort for Elijah. It was a wish on the guy’s part that Blaine might catch on.
When Blaine shows up, he finds out who it is and things go from there. Eli listens. Eli tells him he’s always been good enough. Blaine lets himself be vulnerable for just once and this guy who’s a stranger now but used to be a friend comforts him and it spirals out of control. And that whole “is it cause I don’t look like my picture?” was Eli just trying to make Blaine feel better. Obviously, it was a joke. The icon was a freaking lighthouse! Eli knew how messed up and regretful Blaine was that he just cheated on Kurt. It’d take a blind man not to see that.
Cause I never thought Blaine would EVER cheat on Kurt. Especially not with a stranger. Especially not after being torn up over Kurt just getting flirty texts from someone. But this is the only way I can rationalize he would. He’d have had to know the guy but it could never be someone as close to him as Sebastian. Cause Sebastian would be way too devastated if he went back to Kurt and he knew he wanted to.
Sebastian is far too important to Blaine and Blaine is far too important to Sebastian for that. Sebastian would know that Blaine would be so filled with guilt that he’d lose the one thing he does have with him and that’s friendship. Guilt would settle in and Blaine might never see Sebastian again. There’s no way Sebastian would chance that for a hook up. He’d wait. Maybe someday..it’d be more than a hook up. But not any time soon.
But Eli… They weren’t close. Not anymore. Then they saw one another that one last time. Eli caved for Blaine, Blaine took that comfort. And the rest, they say, is history!
