Why wewe should upendo my favourite characters
Before I officially begin to explain why wewe should upendo my favourite characters that these are only two of my favourites, however the contest demanded that I only pick two characters so with a mix of coin tossing and figuring out the most controversial characters to write about I decided to write about Finn and Santana so let’s begin;
First of all I’m fully aware that I can’t force wewe to upendo the characters I do but I can attempt to onyesha wewe why I upendo them and maybe force a little empathy and likeability for them onto you, so let’s start with Finn who is without a doubt and I don’t care what anyone else says the most controversial and argued about character on the whole onyesha and in all honesty I’ve always sort of wondered why so many people are so hostile and judgmental of his character, why? Well, because to some extent we all sort of are him, he’s the most humaine and realistic character on the show, yes he’s done things that I understand some people don’t like and made his fair share of mistakes but I bet there isn’t a person kusoma this au even on this planet that hasn’t, sometime’s he does things he shouldn’t, sometime’s he’s a little dim, sometime’s he drives us insane but through it all his heart’s always in the right place and he does his best to be a good person and who can’t relate to that? I’ve heard some people saying they dislike him because he hasn’t grown as a character but that argument always baffles me; remember the guy in the pilot throwing kids in Dumpster? Well now he’s the guy who stick’s up for small Irish kids being bullied in hallways, remember the guy who called Kurt a “fag” in the basement and hated being seeing him at risk of people thinking he’s gay? Well now he’s the guy who embraces him as his brother and sung him a song of acceptance in front of his peers, Marafiki and family and as much as I’m against this Finchel wedding remember the guy embarrassed to be dating Rachel in fear of hurting his reputation? Well now he’s doing his best to become her husband so why should wewe upendo Finn Hudson? As I alisema I can’t make wewe but when wewe condemn his mistakes just think back to your mistakes and at the mistakes I guarantee you’ll make in your future and ask yourself honestly, who are wewe to pass judgement?
Now onto Santana maybe not quite as controversial as I believe Finn to be but still pretty controversial none the less, yes she is a much loved character but I’ve seen many people who can’t stand her and may I just say I understand, I mean she’s mean, she’s a bitch, kahaba brutally honest, seemingly doesn’t care about anyone else’s feeling’s however I don’t think we can deny that there’s a Santana in all of us no matter how well hidden she may be there’s always a voice in the back of your head asking why the hell your best friend is wearing that pair of jeans that makes her punda look the size of the US and Australia combined, why your sister insists on wearing that eyeliner that makes her look like a badly beaten racoon au why your teacher still hasn’t done herself a huge favour and gotten herself some much needed Botox, Santana just let’s that side of her out for all to see and is it not refreshing to see a character so unafraid of what everyone else thinks? We also have to think to ourselves what does a hedgehog do when it feels vulnerable? It curls up into its intimidating spiky exterior, now I’m not saying that Santana’s a hedgehog I’m using the hedgehogs spike’s as a metaphor for her bitchy exterior, perhaps the bitchy persona is just a way to hide how vulnerable she is and I know that doesn’t excuse her behaviour but as a character there’s no way wewe can deny that she’s fascinating au her complexity and without character’s like her all I can say is that it would be one hell of a boring show.
So whether you’re convinced au still sceptical about these two I hope wewe can at least now see them through different eyes and be a little zaidi hesitant before wewe judge au condemn their actions, characters, choices au mistakes.
