In honour of it raining all day here today, thereby causing me to whistle this all day:









So I don't know if I've mentioned my hatred of paparazzi on this journal before, but I hate the paparazzi. I try to avoid paparazzi photos as much as I possibly can, because they're evil and invasive and rude. I really hate them.

However.

There was this massive Darren Criss sex riot today over paparazzi shots of him filming "Imogene" in New York, filling out a grey t-shirt and jeans like it's going out of fashion, and his hair is SO FLUFFY, "made of like, marshmallow fluff and rainbows and unicorns and smiles and like-- idk world peace or something." (Quote from [livejournal.com profile] gingerrstar, accurately summarising the feelings of an entire community.) So, I am torn. I did save the pictures, but I feel like if I post them I'm validating the evil stalkerazzi in all their evilness. WHAT TO DO?

I'll post a cute Darren gif instead.


NEW FAVOURITE GIF. His faaace.

Darren is always so lovely about paparazzi; it makes me forget how truly awful they can be. Because he's always smiling and waving and making stupid qt faces at them and so I'm like OMG THEY MUST BE MADE OF PUPPIES AND RAINBOWS.

Darren Criss, confusing the hell out of me since 2009.

My feelings on paparazzi are this: they are horrid, it's a horrid profession. However, if the subject does not look bothered, looks happy, cheerful, unintruded-upon, I will enjoy the pictures - some people are fine with it.

I also feel like they're coming from a film set, or leaving a studio, it's less bad than getting pics of someone outside their house/getting coffee/whatever. Like if people are reporting on/shooting the film set in general, rather than stalking someone's personal life.

True. If people are working, it's less invasing. I guess dealing with paps is (sadly) part of their jobs.

I get so annoyed when I see pics of people shopping, getting coffee on their off-time. Urgh. Anonymity is precious.

Yeah, I generally don't mind as much if they're clearly filming, because then they're in the public forum, they're being filmed anyway.

Still, I reeeeeeeally fucking hate paparazzi. Hence the lack of pictures.

Okay, firstly, Darren singing Singin in the Rain is probably my favorite thing ever. I flailed when I heard that the first time. (And proceeded to smack the hubby on the arm repeatedly, really fast. That's my automatic "excitement!" reaction.)

Secondly: that starkid video always makes me tear up at first because I fucking MISS COLLEGE SO BADLY AND IT REMINDS ME OF MY FRIENDS, GOD. But then it just makes me giggle because they're so adorable and I love them and OH MAN I just want to be friends with them.

Thirdly: I second everything that cookiedough up there said. And you know Darren is just a HAM when it comes to any camera anywhere. If there is a camera, he is smiling at it. So that makes me feel better. (Plus those photos are damn sexy. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOOK THAT GOOD IN A FREAKING TSHIRT OMG.)

I've been listening to it on repeat for two days now. His VOICE, I swear. He just sings the one verse twice, though.

It doesn't remind me of my university experience terribly much, but it does make me want to be friends with...most of them. Especially that jam session, which was awesome. They seem to use their time much more creatively than us normal folks do.

LOL IKR? He's all happy and adorable and being like OH HAI GUYS and I'm like STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS, DARREN.

From: [identity profile] lavender-love00.livejournal.com


Well ... honestly I had a somewhat different experience as well, much less of the guzzling the alcohol, but the general "oh my god these are the best people and we will be friends forever" thing was TOTALLY what it was like for me.

You've heard him sing That's All from Market Days too, right? (or did you blog that one like yesterday? I can't remember. Since I've gotten tumblr my mind is a blur of Darren and I can't remember where I saw what.)

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I've been listening to my Market Days playlist since ...well, since a few hours after the concert.

ETA: And yes, I posted the video two days ago :)

Those Imogene pictures, IKR?!!

and his hair is SO FLUFFY, "made of like, marshmallow fluff and rainbows and unicorns and smiles and like-- idk world peace or something." (Quote from [info]gingerrstar, accurately summarising the feelings of an entire community.)
THIS. I was staring at his hair for a while.

Earlier this year, there were paparazzi pictures from the Glee set with Darren in a purple tshirt carrying his lunch. He was looking a bit annoyed (not much, it's Darren after all) and not as pretty as usual. And it made me happy, because I could despise the pictures and the paparazzi that came with them, but... But now, I'm torned. I can't not like these pictures.

As for posting them. Well, I was going to post one of them, because HAIR. I wish he didn't have to cut it and slick it back for Glee.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


Somebody said it was pre-treating and therefore that's what his hair naturally looks like. If this is the case, WHY DO THEY PUT ALL THAT CRAP IN IT EVER? He looks so GOOD in those pictures. I love Darren no matter what his hair is like, I really do, but I wish they wouldn't put all that crap in it for Blaine.

Pre-treating? Well damn. I'm surprised there's not a "free Darren's hair campaign" already. Or is there?

My hope is that if Blaine ever does transfer at McKinley, the gel will disappear. I would be sad to see the Warlblers go, but not that goo.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I don't know, there probably is.

IKR? I love the Warblers and will miss all their adorable tweeting and rule-breaking and their faces, and I don't know how they're going to handle Blaine transfering to McKinley without it being terrible and stupid, but still...no more helmet head.

From: [identity profile] petit-rhino.livejournal.com


I'd love to see how Blaine adjusts to McKinley, but academically it makes no sense at all for him to transfer. I don't know how they would make that believable. However my suspension of disbelief already get a strong workout when it comes to Glee so...

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


Yeah, I'm not expecting too much. It's Glee. I will just take the time to enjoy the singing and dancing and Darren and boykissing.

After a craptastic week, your Darren posts never fail to cheer me up.

I shall repeat what you said;
His faaace.

utter perfection <3

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


Aww, I'm sorry your week was crappy, though. I hope things get better.

Sometimes I get a new icon and I'm trying to tag it and all I can think of to write his HIS FACE. This one that I'm using right now actually has the keywords "shut up with your stupid face". I can't take it.

From: [identity profile] commen-sense.livejournal.com


thanks bb :)

I know that a lot of people are annoyed by Darren's habitual face-making but I love that about him-it's not like he's purposefully being an attention/camera whore, it's just who he is. It adds a lot of personality to him and I just love him all the more for it <333

From: [identity profile] koyaaniisqatsi.livejournal.com


I agree that if the "subject" doesn't look bothered by the paps, then it should be fine to share the photos. DARREN IS TOO CUTE TO NOT SHARE, THOUGH.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I get that, but paparazzi!

I actually have an enormous folder of pictures in my Darren file called "probably not for sharing" that are from his old Facebook and stuff. When I first got into the fandom I had no idea that people used to break into Facebook accounts or share around pictures after being asked not to, so I just saved everything. Now I can't bring myself to delete them. Same with those infamous songs he wrote in college that were floating around Tumblr not too long ago.
