Anonymous asked you:
Hey! I understand that you ship Finchel, I used to ship them (now I’m a hardcore Puckleberry shipper :P). I just want to know your opinion on this. I stopped shipping Finchel when I realized it would never… work out. You know? I know she loves him, I guess he loves her too, but they are just so different. And it’s just… I think it’s just a high school thing. in real life, that would NEVER work out.
Rachel is a smart girl whose dreams are her priorities, and Finn is a, well I’m not gonna use the word ‘stupid’ or ‘dumb’, but let’s face it, he is hardly the smartest guy ever. And relationships like that only work in high schools. It’s ever girl’s dream to date a football player and stuff, but seeing them live together, having children, raising them, growing old… It would be cute, but not realistic. I’m just making a tv show/real life crossover because that’s the reason why I stopped shipping them. I still find them cute, but I don’t think it would work out.
And the reason why I’m asking YOU this question is because you always have good answers and are smart and nice to your followers, so yeah. I wanna know your opinion. :)
Sorry, this was rather long.

Sorry, I didn’t wanna clog dashes, so I figured this would be the most effective way :) I’ll you a little secret, also- if I didn’t love Finchel more than I love myself, I would totally ship Puckleberry, too, so I totally understand where you’re coming from with this question, and I’d be more than happy to offer my two cents.

So here’s my opinion: We all know Rachel’s an incredibly intelligent girl who’s dreamed of Broadway her whole life. The thing is, though, we have to realize that, as she’s growing up, she’s realizing there is more to life than just a career. Maybe it was because she never really had friends, or because boys never really liked her, but her childhood was wrapped around the dream of making it big. And this is still her dream, she hasn’t abandoned it for love. But she’s realizing that love does also fall in the equation.. and that’s okay! I know a lot of people who don’t like the idea of Finchel because they think Rachel’s giving up her dreams for Finn, that Finn’s making her drop all her plans.. that’s not the case at all! She’s still Rachel Barbra Berry, you really think she’s going to let it all slip by the wayside? Not to mention.. Finn would never ask that of her. He WANTS her to succeed, he WANTS her to make it out of Lima, he WANTS her to accomplish all she’s ever hoped for.
As for Finn: I think Finn is discounted far more than he deserves to be. He’s not a stupid guy, he’s not dumb. Cory’s addressed this himself- innocent, yes. Naive, yes. But not stupid. He just hasn’t seen as much of the world. So maybe he’s not “book smart,” but he’s got a good head on his shoulders. He has the judgment needed (well, when he’s not nursing a shattered heart, at least) to handle a relationship like this- we all know he would never cheat on her or intentionally hurt her in any way. I think a lot of his “lack of smartness” has to do with the fact that no one really ever believed in him, you know? And now.. Rachel does. We’ve seen him at his worst, and we’ve seen him at his best. At his worst, he’s mopey, and he gives into pressures, and he gives up easily, and he sells himself short. All these times have been when he was away from Rachel’s influence. At his best, though, when he’s had her by his side, he’s been a leader, he’s been quick on his feet, and he’s been driven. Remember when Jesse came back and tore Finn to shreds in “Funeral?” And Finn told Rach that he’s not “New York good?” Rachel never would’ve let him feel that way had they been together. Ever. She’s his rock, just as much as he is hers. They just.. get each other.
I can totally see them getting married, and having a family, and growing old together, because of that simple fact. Because they just.. get each other. Everyone else might think Finn’s unintelligent, but Rachel never thinks so. She corrects him kindly, she explains things patiently- never patronizing or condescending. And, really, where Rachel’s concerned, Finn’s extremely intelligent. He knows her. And he would know how to treat her well in marriage, and he would be a great father. I don’t think he needs a high IQ to love her as she deserves to be loved, to raise a family with care. I think they’re most compatible because they’re NOT obviously alike, because this means they bring different things to the table, they complete each other nicely. I can see Rachel trying to help Finn figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life, helping him find his true passions. I can see Rachel coming home from work frazzled, and Finn trying to calm her down or just pampering her. I can see Rachel laughing from the doorway as Finn tries to get their hyper little girl dressed in PJs that are inside-out. I just.. I can see it all.
I think a lot of people realize that they love each other, but think that love may not be enough. I think it is. Through her love, he’s stopped settling for the bare minimum and is pushing himself to be better. Through his love, she’s learned to compromise and to be considerate of others. I think they bring out these wonderful qualities in each other that don’t even compare to the difference in “book smarts” between them- these qualities are far, far more powerful. I’ve seen couples, yes, who dated through high school and failed on account of these types of differences- different passions, different education levels, etc. But what those couples didn’t have is what Finn and Rachel have- undying love. The kind of love that makes you want to be the best for each other, no matter what. The kind of love that literally completes one another, that makes them whole, that makes them far, far better people than they are on their own or with anyone else. I think it’ll work, because they want it to work. Because they know each others’ faults, and they accept them. Remember this? “You should know there’s some boy out there who’s gonna like you for everything you are, including those parts of you that even you don’t like- those are gonna be the things he likes the most.” ..that one speech from Will is their entire story. They don’t try to change each other, they love each other exactly the way that they are. They’ve been through the mill, they’ve encountered some incredibly difficult times- but they’ve still come back to each other. They want each other, flaws and differences and difficulties and all. And I think THAT, not intelligence or compatible interests, is what marriage and family is all about. That is why they will work, why they’ll last the test of time.
