It kind of just occurred to me how much the queer community is winning this summer. We had Nimona. We had Barbie (ace Barbie, Allan, just queer vibes all around). We had Good Omens season 2. We had Heartstopper season 2. We're getting High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season 4 and Red White and Royal Blue two days apart from each other. We even have The Witcher finally delivering with Jaskier (or at least it did in the first part, haven't watched part 2 yet).

I don't know where I was going with this. I'm just happy about it.

RINA + THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES

[2ndstringloser]

ten things that made me extremely happy in regards to ej caswells season four storyline:

him getting away from his father and becoming someone who is proud of himself without the need for validation from a toxic source

he has friends! and a girlfriend! and activities! and he isn’t wallowing in self pity like i assumed!

letting him clock richard bowen one last time

acknowledging that even though portwell wasn’t forever, it was something that was necessary for both parties and that both of them learned so much from each other

the fact that gina finally understands why he did those things last summer, and does understand that he wasn’t malicious in intentions. but at the same time letting ej still own up to the fact that he was in the wrong, showcasing his beautiful character development.

he was in the show!!!!

finally giving him a direction for the future, the literal only thing he’s been trying to find the entire show.

the best haircut he’s had ever

his silly birkenstocks

a serious song!!!!!!! a serious non joke actually meaningful song!!!!

something so warm and comforting about how much the friendships in hsmtmts mean for the show. something about ginas confessions to her friends, something about jets happiest moment being singing on a stage with ricky, something about bigred knowing his best friend and looking out for him, something about ej stepping up to look out for his people everytime he can, something about all of them not letting emmys dream die, about them supporting both seb and carlos with their second chance, something about kourt and ash showing kindness to a classmate and gaining confidence from then on, something about their whole lives being changed bc a year ago they met this group of people that became home.

I'm so down bad for Maddox and Ashlyn that my three favourite scenes are:

3. The Redlyn breakup - the chillest break up, Red supporting Ashlyn going after Maddox and the most insane storyline of Red realising he's bi because he kisses Seb

2. Just the entirety of Maddox during opening night - having an existential breakdown over your love life that you break the sound controls and then just give up on your stage manager duties and disappear (probably to help quinn)

1. The confession - a scene I want on repeat: the explanations of how afraid they are of how much they like the other then the "should we just stay friends?" Before having such a love induced make out their just completely ignore Carlos being there. (Also Maddison giving up and telling Maddox to stop coming back to her when she clearly likes Ashlyn... my baby just needed that push)

I love all my queer children but these two are the wlw so I love them just slightly more.

multishipping is a superpower you neeeeeeeeeeed to have when you love getting into shitty gay media with found family because OF course they're going to make an incest map of all the characters and your otp will almost definitely not be endgame. of course they're going to pair the main guy and girl together as endgame just because. and I mean you COULD be a hater about it and curse the writers and throw a four year long fit but it's so much more fun when you just make your peace with the fact that this was always going to happen and pretend everyone is in a happy little polycule as they go through 18575879 different pairings you know aren't going to last because fandom and just the experience of being a fan is so much more fun that way!!!

You know what I’m still not over, the flashback confession score bleeding into the second chance instrumental during the rain kiss. I love the rain kiss for so many reason but in essence it truly is like the climax of Rina’s journey up until that point, the car from homecoming where they first deeply connected, the box of chocolates that he got her on Valentine’s Day, the spin hug. All leading to the moment Ricky knows without a shadow of a doubt that he’s in love with Gina. And Gina knowing without a shadow of a doubt she’s in love with him.

HSMTMTS MEME: [1/3] relationships you aren't a maybe, you're a yes — ricky bowen & gina porter

[filmmakerdreamst]

[do-you-ship-it-polls]

Do you ship it?

reason: The hesitation every time EJ calls Ricky his 'brother' needs to be studied. And they've literally said I love you to each other. And Ricky asked if they would be playing lovers in one of the musicals. And...well there's a lot more but I think you're getting the idea.
