I am really angry today.

Like I can’t even. I am just so incredibly pissed off about what’s going on that I’m not even putting this under a cut.

So it came out today that they’re doing I Won’t Give Up on Glee, which you know, it’s a great song, but I’m always hesitant about them doing Jason Mraz, particularly after Lucky which was nice, but sort of vanilla. Now they’re doing this sweeping love ballad that’s all about overcoming adversity and being strong and staying together and that they’ll make it through and they won’t give up on each other no matter what curveballs life presents.

You’d think, with a song like that, they’d chose a couple that has had some hardship, that knows what it’s like to face a world that hates you and find love and be patient and understanding and knowing how strong they are that they can face anything together.

You wouldn’t think that they would choose to give it to a couple that is so riddled with love triangles and hexagons that it’s practically incestuous. You wouldn’t think they would give it to the couple that first got together by making out while one of them was supposedly in love with their pregnant girlfriend and then didn’t get together for a long time because one of them thought the other was scary and intense and then after they did get together, the guy spent more time wondering how to get into her bra than actually getting to know her, though you can’t really blame him since aside from an extracurricular activity, they have absolutely nothing in common and probably nothing to talk about. You wouldn’t think it would go to the couple who, after having been together for several months, break up because the girl found out about the guy having sex with a different girl before they were together and proceeded to make out with her ex-boyfriend who is also her current boyfriend’s best friend and her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend’s babydaddy. You wouldn’t think it would go to the couple who proved that they couldn’t be just friends because even though the girl is fiercely independent and has huge dreams, she crumbles at the idea of being with the guy and only seems to think that she can follow her dreams if he is with her, otherwise she is incapable. You wouldn’t think it would go to the couple where the guy refused to forgive the girl for kissing his friend/her ex when she was in a fit of jealousy and instead decided to be with the girl that slept with his best friend behind his back and then got pregnant and proceeded to lie to him about who the father was for months and who also had a boyfriend at the time and was, in fact, cheating on him to be with the guy. You wouldn’t expect that song to go to the couple who, after months of being with that first girl finally saw the girl being friendly with another of her exes and decided to drop his girlfriend to go all caveman on a platonic dance date. You wouldn’t expect it to go to the couple who, after realizing that he has no real future or talents and doesn’t know what he’s doing decides to propose. You wouldn’t expect it to go to the couple where the girl only tried to have sex with the guy because she thought it would make her performance on stage better. You wouldn’t expect it to go to the couple who can’t go one night staying in the same house without devolving into a violent fight where objects are thrown at the other person. You wouldn’t expect the song to go to the couple where the guy expects the girl to give up the dreams she’s had since she was basically an embryo so that he can go somewhere else and have fun with MILFs while cleaning pools with the best friend who helped both this ex-girlfriends and current girlfriend cheat on him. 

You would not expect them to give that loving, supportive song to a couple like that instead of one who has shown strength and supported the other in times of need no matter what, and no matter if they are going way out on a limb to help the other. 

You’d think, but that’s not how this show works.
