In no particular order:
Kurt was an “oops” baby. He was certainly wanted, but not planned. The Hummels had to quickly move homes because they lived in a one bedroom house.
They were married a year (in their early twenties) when they found out Elizabeth was pregnant.
Elizabeth was a painter and tailor. She made money by doing commissions, like murals for the city or seaming wedding dresses.
It was also just Burt and Elizabeth (my headcanon name for his mom). Elizabeth’s parents didn’t like Burt because he was blue-collar, and Burt’s parents were old and gone by the time Kurt was 2.
He was also two weeks early. Burt was working in the mechanic shop to until he got the call. He had been working on the underside of a car, got the call, slid out so fast and was out the door in 3 minutes, the employees who still work for him tell Kurt that story all the time.
He was going to be a Burt Jr, but It was actually Burt’s idea for him to be Kurt, because their first date was to a screening of Sound of Music at a drive in. They decided to give him his mother’s middle name so he had a piece of each of them in his name.
In his baby/toddler years, Kurt was a very judgmental baby. It wasn’t that he hated everyone, but he preferred his parents. He was still very giggly though.
Kurt had a million interests as a child. He loved musicals and dance, but he also loved watching his dad work and would watch him work on cars with big eyes.
His favorite outfit as a toddler was a mini version of the Hummel Tires and Lube coveralls + a tutu. An interesting choice, but it made him happy.
Elizabeth would make her clothes in a way-she’d get pieces from shops, and then change them to how she wanted them. This is what inspired Kurt.
Kurt’s first job was working in the tire shop. Their favorite thing to do was to was when a jerk customer thought that Kurt didn’t know what he was talking about (or just being a jerk in general), one of the employees would come over to help, say “What do you need, Mr. Hummel?” and watch the customer’s cogs spin in his head until he figured it out.
Reblog and put in the tags how intimidating you think you are on a scale of 1 to 10
For day 27/3 days until….
AU of Grilled Cheesus/S2.
Kurt doesn’t want anything to do with his old life.
At least he can pretend.

Okay but does anyone else think about the fact that Kurt’s so “woefully thin on extracurriculars” because of all the bullying and cry themselves to sleep

I love how much dancing Tina and Kurt and Mercedes get to do in season 1. Especially because later they’re all made fun of and insulted for their lack of skill, or called lazy.
I mean like Kurt had his little Single Ladies video that Tina was also involved in. And Tina was working on her own dance number during Dream On. And Mercedes got to dance some during Bust Your Windows, as well as be part of the flash mob with Kurt and Tina during Safety Dance
And who were they dancing with?? Umm, Brittany, Mike, Matt, etc. The ones we’re told are the best dancers on the show. And they all manage to keep pace with them. And I know it’s not the same for Mercedes cause both hers were fantasy sequences but still. Sure the dances were nothing close to, say, winning first place in a big televised dance competition or anything, but they knew she had moves. I mean they wrote her into these numbers and she wasn’t standing still
But nah it was easier to make fun of Kurt’s common moves and say Tina could barely pick up the most generic dances and give Mercedes nothing to do and then call her lazy (: Anyway if anyone ever wonders why season 1 is my fave season then one reason is because my fave characters weren’t being treated like pure horseshit yet. Those things are very related
Also semi unrelated and I’m not like trying to shit on Naya or anything but the way they told us Santana was one of the best dancers was the same way they told us Finn was the best male vocalist in the group lmao. Like girl where were you during Bust Your Windows huh?? I swear I saw some gifset of the scene where Santana makes fun of Kurt’s three signature moves but instead it’s just Santana’s three signature moves of like. Waving her arms over her head, doing her weird little arm pump thing, and slapping her own ass lmao. But nah I mean she’s good but not like Mike and Brittany good
Oop
anyways ya girl made a bingo card so fill it out if you wanna
