* Blaine thinks Kurt is [[{{Uke}} his sweet, helpless boyfriend,]] when he's actually a [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosted]] DeadpanSnarker with a side of DontYouDarePityMe. Similarly, it's implied Blaine thinks that unicorns are the helpless, innocent ones of Victorian fiction, when the original unicorns were the embodiment of wilderness--meaning [[PureIsNotGood they are vicious creatures who cannot be tamed by ordinary means]]. Unicorns' {{Bambification}} parallels Kurt's constant {{Ukefication}}.

* Considering how close-knit the Warblers are and how low Blaine's self-esteem is, it's not hard to think that they give Blaine a lot of solos in-canon because they think he's intentionally passing them up.

** According to ''The Castle,'' Kurt is fine. But Blaine may be doing even worse than he already was, seeing as hiding in an abandoned hotel isn't exactly following the "get lots of rest and keep things quiet" advice for mild concussions.

** According to ''The Castle,'' Kurt is fine. But Blaine may be doing even worse than he already was, seeing as panicking and hiding in an abandoned hotel is very far from the "get lots of rest" advice for mild concussions.

* The destruction of Blaine's RelationshipSue status is painful ''and'' terrifying when you realize that outside of the Warblers, Kurt and Greg are the only two people genuinely care about him ''and'' are physically there to show it.

* Blaine's SelectiveObliviousness means that his friends and family ''constantly'' tell him things because [[ThePowerOfTrust they'd feel bad if they didn't]]. But it's hinted in the fairy-tale parts of "Drinn" that nobody told Blaine he should give up on his dad [[spoiler: or that his first didn't really care about him]], and David pretends [[spoiler: that he and Wes just found out about Alex]].

* Blaine leaped to Kurt's aid after ten minutes of knowing him. Ordinarily this would be a MartyStu trait, but it's revealed he didn't even ''consider'' the possibility that Kurt wouldn't tell the truth--if Kurt had been someone else, or even if he'd met Blaine before he stopped being a ManipulativeBastard, things could have gotten ugly.
* He's gentlemanly and [[ButNotTooGay chaste]] because [[spoiler: he slept with a guy at ''sixteen'', thought SexEqualsLove, and ended up strung along for weeks because the guy had no intention of taking responsibility.]] Which means that the Warblers' constant LampshadeHanging that Blaine [[YouNeedToGetLaid is too uptight]] and will [[LetsWaitAwhile wait till domestic-partnership]] to sleep with Kurt? ''[[FunnyAneurysmMoment No longer funny.]]''
** Considering that the above happened one year before, the Warblers have been complaining that [[ObliviousGuiltSlinging Blaine needs to sleep with Kurt already]] barely a few months after Blaine got in trouble for doing the opposite. Although it's getting better with the {{Reconstruction}} taking place.
* Blaine's ObliviousToLove tendencies mean that if he can't get the picture when people throw themselves at him, he definitely won't notice when [[spoiler: [[StalkerWithACrush a guy starts following him everywhere,]] trying NOT to be obvious.]]
* Aside from the Warblers, Kurt and Greg are the only people who care about Blaine ''and'' are physically there to express it. His father is negligent, his mother and Kyle are extremely busy, and Lydia is in California. When confronted about it by Sarah, he insists that it's [[ThickerThanWater not their fault]] and [[ExtremeDoormat he can't do anything about it]]. He's right about most of them, but his father? Not so much.
