can you come back here and talk to us ☹️☹️

When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music.  Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it. Post Malone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I’m so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration. I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets). I still can’t believe I get to work with the unfathomably brilliant Rodrigo Prieto on cinematography and my team of dream collaborators: Ethan Tobman (production design), Chancler Haynes (editor), Anthony Dimino (1st AD), Jil Hardin (producer) and Dom Thomas (executive producer). Parliament aced the VFX as always. Joseph Cassell, Lorrie Turk and Jemma Muradian made these tortured looks come to life. The entire crew made this a dream to shoot. Thank you to everyone involved and everyone who has watched it!! https://taylor.lnk.to/FortnightMV

Santana and Brittany should’ve been senior prom queen and king.

This is something I’ve believed since Prom Queen 2x20. 

Let’s start with why I believe this would be a perfect full circle moment for Santana’s high school experience. 

Santana Lopez had from the beginning wanted to be McKinley High’s “top hoe”. 

In season one we are introduced to her as Quinn’s second in command, but it’s made obvious that she wants the full glory. 

Of course we don’t know why popularity is important to her yet, but we’ll get there. 

When Quinn becomes pregnant Santana takes the opportunity to take over the cheerios. 

She does support her friend with the New Directions, but as far as one-on-one chats and encouragement go, she gives nada. She is even out right cruel about Quinn’s situation, there’s no denying that. 

Throughout season one she focuses her attention on the two most popular guys. Noah Puckerman is her on-again-off-again boy toy who she feels nothing for until someone else wants him. Finn Hudson is purely a conquest to cement her place on the Cheerios.

Onto season two. We find out why Santana is so cagey and cruel. Santana is in love with her best friend Brittany Pierce. But with raging internalised homophobia and the general homophobia of the time and place she suppresses these feelings. 

We finally get insight from Santana herself, she’s scared of being herself and the consequences. 

As she starts to address and deal with these feelings she lashes out, but she also shows her soft side. We begin to see that she can be a “hardcore friend” when she wants to be. 

Then we get to Prom Queen. After Kurt is announced Santana breaks down and tells the last of her insecurities. She has been an outcast all her life and believes she always will be. She wanted to be prom queen so that there would be one night where she felt normal and accepted. That’s why popularity has been so important to her.

Finally, season three. Santana and Brittany start dating officially, yay! But in secret as Santana isn’t ready to come out publicly. 

Then disaster strikes and she is outed to the entire state by Finn Hudson. I will not start talking about this event because I will never stop. Because of this she comes out to her parents who are supportive, but up next is her abuela who is suggested to be her main caregiver, and definitely the person Santana looks up to the most. When she comes out to her she is rejected and disowned. Santana’s worst fears have come true, being herself has had terrible consequences. 

Despite this heartbreak she moves on. Throughout this season we get to see Santana Lopez’s friendship in full force. 

She gives Brittany the confidence to run for Senior Class President, she helps Kurt when Blaine is assaulted, forgives Finn for his unforgivable act, makes up with Rachel, goes to help shut down Sebastian’s bullying, etc. Now to Senior Prom. 

Promasaurus is the perfect episode to complete Santana’s high school arc. Her and Brittany winning prom queen and king, respectively, would show her that being herself isn’t something that always ends in rejection. 

Her whole life Santana has known she is different from the norm and wants to feel fully accepted by her peers, this is how it happens. Unlike Prom Queen, where she doesn’t win, she is finally being her full self and for once she is being rewarded for it. 

Her metamorphosis from a conniving, cruel, scheming mean girl to an open, warm, still snarky, out-and-proud lesbian is complete. Now she isn’t popular because she’s feared, she’s popular because she’s herself and she’s brave. 

The relationship with Brittany that took her so long to come to terms with in fear of rejection is being put on a pedestal.  

There are also the real world effects. Seeing a sapphic couple be Prom royalty and be celebrated by their peers would be instrumental to young queer kids, even in a TV show.

In conclusion Santana Lopez and Brittany Pierce should have been Prom royalty. The story line was set up for over a season, and it is much more meaningful than what actually happened. Thanks for your time.
