i took you by the hand and we stood tall.: Unpopular opinion: I don’t want Kurt to just hand Blaine the flowers and let him go off to take the lead.

Not because it’s wrong for Blaine to audition for it or to get it.

Not because it’s wrong for Blaine to want something for himself or to get it over Kurt.

Not because it’s wrong for Kurt to be mature about it.

Because I just want Kurt to be honest about it. I want him to say ‘you’re great,…

Yes. Blaine has the right to want something for himself, but he knew how important this was for Kurt. Also, he had agreed on not auditioning for Tony. Why did he have to go and sing that particular song? I don’t know how would this be treated in canon. Most probably with Blaine being just oblivious, but all I can see is that he violated Kurt’s trust. He should have simply been honest and warned him that yes, he was going to try and get the role. Instead, he saved face in front of Kurt but still tried his luck in front of the judges, so he gets it all: the thankful, loving boyfriend and the opportunity he was seeking for. Again, I don’t care what canon says. To me, Blaine was manipulative and doubled face. Can he be forgiven? I guess if Kurt loves him enough and he makes up big time for this. Though, I don’t know how he will accomplish that.

…okay, are you serious?  Blaine never agreed to anything, he flat-out told Kurt he was auditioning with a Tony song and never said he wouldn’t be, even when he changed his audition choice because Kurt put subtle pressure on him.  It takes time to prepare an audition piece, and changing his mind last-minute can’t always mean changing what he prepared, if we’re even looking into it that deeply.  He’d have every right to go for that role if he were, the best person for the part should get it, but it’s explicitly said that he was not - he told Kurt that and he told the judges that with no idea that Kurt was watching.  

“I don’t care what canon says”?  Blaine is not a real person.  Kurt is not a real person.  Bad writing can make a character look a certain way, but like hell the intent of what the writers were doing doesn’t matter.  If Kurt were upset with Blaine for doing something he flat-out told Kurt he was doing to begin with, I’d be pissed at Kurt and no one else.  And if you want to go on subtext, I don’t think Blaine would have looked alternately shocked and torn at even being asked to read if he ever expected it to happen.

Seriously. You don’t audition with a song for the lead role if you don’t want that part. (Really you don’t audition with a song in the production you’re trying to be cast for, but if you do then you clearly want that character.)  As soon as Blaine told Kurt his song choice Kurt knew what he was up against, that’s why he started worrying.  It was pretty damned obvious.  Blaine saying juniors never get leads and he’d be happy with another part wasn’t him saying he wasn’t auditioning, it was him noticing that Kurt was freaked out and trying to reassure his scared boyfriend.

I attribute it to bad writing. But aside from that, we know that he was going to audition for Tony at first. He practiced Something’s Coming because he did want that role. For all we know, he may have decided against it for Kurt’s sake (and written down that he was only auditioning for Bernardo) at the last possible minute. He never even told Kurt he wouldn’t be auditioning for Tony. I think the face he did at the end wasn’t the double-faced “What? How is this possible? Why would they even consider that a possibility?” expression haters make it out to be but instead a “Shit, I would love that part, but it would upset Kurt. Shit, shit, what do I do?” expression.
