I feel super guilty for not being 100% on Mike and Tina's side for this, actually! Because I'm totally in favor of people doing what they want to do with their lives; not everyone has a talent or passion, and if you're lucky enough to have something you're really good at that you love doing, you should totally do it! I think my perspective is just colored by the number of people I know who are musicians, actors and academics in the humanities, many of whom are massively talented, and most of whom have reached the point, in their late 20s/early 30s, where the grind of barely being able to scrape together a living has made them disillusioned, cynical, and in some cases, miserable. Which isn't to say that it doesn't work out for anyone - of course it does, for some people - but that there is often a shitload of heartache in following that path. I can understand Mike's dad wanting to spare him that, even though he was going about it in a really unproductive and unhelpful way.
That being said, SAM SAM SAM SAM I am still not over how excited I am about him and Mercedes, holy cow :DDDDDDD
WE CAN ALWAYS TALK ABOUT MERCEDES, OFC. She's just really grown up this season - she's become a real leader, and it's so much fun seeing her back up the verbal confidence she's always had with her actions. ♥
You better write this plot bunny, I'm just saying. Especially the CO-CAPTAINS AND DUETS AND UST part, because ♥_____♥
