lettersfromtitan:wordplaying:nowishforwings:So, I didn’t grow up with siblings, and the brothers I know also tend to be rough physically with each other as part of their dynamic, but seeing all this back to back is still pinging as “wow, Cooper is physically aggressive with Blaine a lot.” I think more so in this scene than in others, because it’s a competitive performance moment? But that’s its own kind of disturbing, given the age gap and how much it’s suggested that Cooper pushed Blaine into performing with him.In my head, this is all mashed up with Blaine’s dad and the car and “trying to make him straight” and ends up with Cooper’s attitude toward Blaine as some kind of complicity with their dad’s attempt to butch him up. I’m not sure if that’s because that was text and I actually forgot (I haven’t rewatched much of anything this season) or if it’s just this, but yeah. Anybody remember?Blaine’s also not pushing back at Cooper, which is what makes it unsettling. He’s mostly trying to get away or get a different type of affection/attention.Alternate explanation, from Cooper’s POV (which doesn’t necessarily change how it is for Blaine):Cooper’s trying to act like brother’s he’s seen on TV/in movies. It’s not exactly natural for him, either. -- source link
