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!

✘ Any unpopular opinions about your muse?

I’m going to go with a lot of the things I see on tumblr for an answer.  One of the opinions I dislike most is that Blaine was, somehow, some sort of victim when it came to Kurt.  Or vice versa.  These characters were legit kids when they got together.  They made mistakes.  They hurt each other.  They feel deep remorse about it and have done their best to be better people.  Both breakups were awful.  But I think it took them losing one another to find themselves (especially the second one) and reconnect in a healthier, more loving and grown up way.

Without Kurt–Blaine wouldn’t have been the person he turned out to be.  Without Blaine–Kurt wouldn’t have been the person he became.  They built each other up.  They were there for one another.  In the end, the bad they did were the mistakes of youth and poor decisions.  I’ve made them growing up.  I’ve had them made against me too.  Was I cruel?  No.  I was being stupid and I grew.  We all do.  Was I a victim?  No.  Because I didn’t let myself be one and I grew because of them too.  Anywhoooo!  That’s one of my most unpopular/popular ones depending on what side of the Klaine fence you’re on. 😛

♧ Any part of their canon portrayal you dislike?

Actually?  I like all of Blaine’s canon material.  Including the wonky Season 5 where everything was a little bit on the WTF side of the tracks and Blainers sort of had his meltdown.  I think it added a layer of unsurety in him that kept building from season two and hit a breaking point in season five.  Without it, he would have been a more flat happy-go-lucky / is this guy for real cause he had no problems whatsoever sort of character.  

A lot of people don’t like how vulnerable he was.  Or that he seemed to be a different person.  But I think as the seasons progressed and he had his bottoming out?  It sort of proved that he was more human than the side character he’d originally started as.  I sort of accept Blaine for Blaine and created my headcanons along the way that align with what happened.

My only eh moment was the cheating plotline.  He was so torn up over Kurt just talking and flirting with someone in season three.  I just don’t see Blaine as the type to cheat.  I think the breakup could have happened in a different way.  Maybe just a massive falling out of “you’re not here for me anymore” sort of fight.  Blaine gets validation from people and I get that, but I just don’t see him as a cheater.  However, I do run with that plot and have adjusted my personal opinions to line up with canon.  He didn’t just get over it in my plotlines though.  It’s something he regrets even years later when the notion pops in his head that he did that.  No matter what AU or ship I write it in, it’s there.  I hope that makes sense!
