(friendly caswen rewrite anon) hope it’s alright that i came sliding back into your inbox! and that is totally valid when it comes to completing it ❤️ work on it on your time and at your own pace! the wait will be worth it
and i also spotted the post talking about an endgame for ej if caswen wasn’t a possibility - and while rina is adorable, there is no denying that disney had a golden opportunity right in front of them but i digress. when i tell you the post made me squeak with joy at not being alone in shipping him with rico and/or kaden! if i had the confidence, i would absolutely write up and post some snippets or a proper spin-off featuring one or both of the potential pairs alongside some caswen.
General PSA to all, that my inbox/askbox, whichever you want to call it, is always open. As long as you're not being hateful or creepy.
I struggle sometimes with Elico, Daywell, and the ocassional Alawell just because I'm not a good multi-shipper. As a reader I can handle it, especially if the fic is good in general, but when writing it's a much bigger struggle.
It's also a little funny to me that the Dancers in HSMTMTS have only slightly more screentime and characterization then the band in Glee. Who incidentally are also referred to by their actors' first names because the show doesn't offer anything else. (Though I will admit, the fact they canonized it makes it that much funnier. Like we know Kaden Dayton's character shares that exact name, which is just...magical)
Also, do not be afraid to write and post to your heart's content. Like anxiety and imposter syndrome are just kind of...fixtures whenever I write, but at the end of the day the only way to get better is to straight up write more. And considering EL James' terrible writing was officially published, became popular, and even got movie adaptations, the bar is almost impossible to go under.
And....here come more WIP ideas now that I'm thinking about these boys again. One would be the quartet (EJ, Ricky, Rico, and Kaden) initially seeming a bit soured because they ALL think the person they have their eyes on has eyes for someone else, until they eventually figure out that they're not actually a love square, but rather a love X. On to a more depressing idea...EJ and Mack trying to teach each other the advantages of their respective histories, only for EJ to break down when he realizes his childhood wasn't nearly as joyful as it should've been. And Mack can have a breakdown too. (WiPs #28 and #29 it seems)

Do you have any late thoughts on the proposal
Thank you for asking (ages ago - I am SO SORRY)!
I haven’t thought about All American too much during this hiatus but here’s some thought dumps.
Jordan’s relationship with Layla has been a vehicle for displaying Jordan’s character development. He summed up his entire year with the word “maturity” and pretty much his primary plot in S5 was Layla. He is more mature now and we see it in his relationship with Layla. As a fan of Jordan and Jordayla, I’m happy to see how his character journey continues through the marriage chapter of life, and how it’s good and right. When he got married the first time, he didn’t ask his parents, he didn’t put in the work into the marriage afterwards, he didn’t tell his friends about it, he just did not go about it in a way that set them up to be successful at all. This time will be different. I did want to have heard his reflections but we’ll see them for sure.
In the last episode, Layla was the mouthpiece for the cons for marriage. I just can’t wait to hear them describe their decision and relationship.
I just LOVE the later parts of a ship where we look over their past moments (Did anybody else just watch the Rina flashback montage in hsmtmts S4?!). When they call back to prom etc, when I hear their vows, I fear I won’t survive.
In S3, it comes up repeatedly that Jimone thought that marriage would turn their love “real”, whereas Jordayla’s love is very much already REAL. I did want to make a post about this but just don't have it in me to rewatch S3 lol.
To revisit their best friends era, just rewatch S4. To revisit their dating era, just rewatch S5. It doesn’t matter if it's too soon for them to get married, just watch S6 when you’re ready hahaha. I’m happy that a married era is being filmed and released of our favourite couple, who wouldn't be?
A cute thing – When he’s advising Asher about Jaymee, he talks about her being “not afraid to live.” Similar to 5x20, when talking about Jasher, we can hear into his thoughts about his own relationship. One of the main reasons for proposing is that after his traumatic experience, he’s eager to live, and he can only see himself doing it with one person. We see this theme repeatedly: “He wants to start a life with her” / “I don’t want to spend a day of my life without you knowing.” Also, whilst he’s giving relationship advice, Layla is heart eyeing him hard and it takes me back to the first time she caught feelings for him when he was giving relationship advice about Clay during the prom dance and she’s taken aback by that sincere passionate side of him. It’s still something that makes her swoon!
I’ve enjoyed their love story happening away from everyone, a little nervous for them to be in the middle of the spotlight. Oh, and I hope the marriage process is not to Billy-centric, hearing his name in the proposal almost sent me over the edge. Realistically, I know he’ll come up but I just won’t love it.
I think the writers always (as much as a fan can ask for) get them right and will continue to.
I’ve missed talking about Jordayla. Thanks for your ask anon!

i think the world needs your hsmtmts analysis
i was waiting until i watched this weeks episode to answer this ask and my current answer is that it’s a bad show with bad writing and insanely amazing and talented and appealing young people acting in the dumbest storylines a human being could ever think up. ok im being unfair. but let me talk about it i guess
season 1 was remarkably good young peoples television, the stories were tight, the actors were extremely appealing, it handled a lot of topics in a way that felt pretty well-thought out (for a disney show. like for example in s1 i thought rickys family situation was given the appropriate complexity and informed the story and the character in a believable way) also every single song in s1 slapped so hard it was insane. wondering is still in my top 50 songs of all time on spotify bc that song went SO hard. the main problem was that the narrative was concluded when ricky and nini got together. that was the driving force behind all of season 1. so they already had an uphill battle going on from there.
season 2 was one of the worst pieces of television ive ever suffered through. the stakes were all over the place, the ending was a complete garbage fire, and as olivia rodrigos star rose, it became a problem because she was kind of… the main character. she was the whole center of the show. the whole season just felt like everyone was running around with their heads on fire trying to figure out what to do now that everyone knew that her and joshua had dated and broken up and she’d released a smash hit of an album about it, and the only shining lights in that season were seblos and portwell, again mostly just bc the actors are so appealing. (and watching the villains of s1 get redeemed through liking each other… it was great. i loved it.)
season 3 just feels like it’s retreading ground that doesn’t need retreading? like oh now ej is an asshole again! for no reason except that he’s only acting that way because the writers don’t know what to do with him because he got too appealing last season and now we don’t have a villain! ricky is in love with gina again because we invented that lily girl and then everyone hated her so we wrote her out! nini is just… gone because olivia rodrigo is on the sour tour but we did have one random episode with the guy from modern family in it and we just haven’t addressed it since! like it’s better than s2 by a long shot but it still doesn’t feel like there’s any drive to the narrative, except the ricky/gina thing which, like i said, just feels like an unnecessary retread to me.
the only thing that’s not a retread this season is this sibling storyline that is BORING MY TEETH OUT because WHO CARES. why are we wasting so much screen time on siblings we don’t care about who we have no investment in? who cares about them? also have any of the writers ever had a sibling? sometimes they’re annoying! that’s the whole thing about siblings!! it’s not some unforgivable roadblock it’s just like. a normal part of being in a family. i cannot bring myself to care in the slightest about either of these characters.
i think another problem in s3 is that there’s no villain. like maybe corbin bleu is the villain? or the documentary is the villain? maybe they’re trying to make ej the villain again? even in s2 we had that lily girl. but this season there’s no real antagonist so it doesn’t feel like the story is going anywhere. so they’re doing a documentary. okay? why does it matter? why do they care? there needs to be some kind of stakes if it doesn’t work out. i mean last season the stakes changed episode to episode and the ultimate conclusion to them was “nvm<3” but at least they *tried* to have stakes? this season things are just like, happening.
also in s1 the musical was like, central to the story and this season it’s like. oh yeah we’re doing frozen btw but you can’t see any of it which is the same thing they did last season with batb and it’s annoying to me. because if they wanted to draw parallels (which it seems ? like they’re trying to do, but they’re lazy about it) they’d do what they did in s1 and do 1 original song and 1 musical song in each episode and tie the stories together. but instead they’re like. no <3
also i love kourtney. i feel like i never talk about her but i love her. ashlyn too. i wish they still had arcs that impacted the central narrative but i guess the problem is there IS no central narrative anymore. maybe that’s the whole problem — the show just feels unfocused. like what are they trying to say anymore? we’re just spinning our wheels. where are we GOING? why does it matter? what justifies this narrative? it feels like even the writers don’t know anymore.
ok that was more of a rant than an analysis but anyway the point is im ANNOYED and i feel like all these crazy talented kids are being wasted in these storylines and it bums me out because i loved s1 SO MUCH and i just feel like the show isn’t doing justice to it’s own characters.
i mean not to go here AGAIN but im going to do the glee comparison bc tbh it’s true. basically go read my glee s1 essay about why glee s1 is the only good season of THAT show and it’s basically the same thing. bc so often with these shows they have a good and coherent narrative purpose in the first season, and then in the subsequent seasons they just spin their wheels doing fanservice and having fun with the characters people latched onto, but they don’t actually write a good STORY. and that’s what’s missing from hsmtmts. it’s not good characters, or good acting, or good writing on a micro scale (we’ve had some bangers of lines this season!!) what’s missing is a good, justified, truly plot-driving story that keeps people hooked AND develops and explores all the characters at the same time

Carlos is going to have so much fun playing Olaf he will be sharing a lot of scenes with his close friends Gina, Kourtney and Ricky. Carlos will literally be going up to his close friends and be like "Hi, I'm Olaf and I love warm hugs" and it's going to be hilarious. I desperately need to hear Carlos sing "In Summer" because I know he will kill it and it would be the perfect opportunity for Carlos to show off his dance moves because Olaf does a little tap dance in the song.
hi anon! i fully agree that carlos as olaf makes sense - you’re totally right, they could make a really good dance number with in summer, i hope they do that! - and he’ll be great for the role. i do hope he starts feeling a little better about the casting, though, because i don’t exactly get the impression he’s happy with olaf yet. hopefully we’ll get some more insight into that in the next episode! we’ll definitely be seeing him in costume (based on the promo pics) and i’m so excited for that!
#i think i’d have cast him as olaf as well honestly so that’s nice#thanks for the ask anon! i love talking about this kind of stuff :)#hsmtmts#high school musical the musical the series#carlos rodriguez#michelle answers

I am really mad at the writers for the way they treated Portwell this season. By throwing away their relationship and treating it like meant nothing to Gina. Do they really expected me to believe that Gina never had feelings for EJ? I know some people are in love with the idea of being in love but, I don't think Gina is that type of girl that would just date anyone that has feelings for her that makes her feel love. Portwell deserves so much better than this.
you're so right for this rant anon. i've talked a lot about this before, but literally just their build-up since season one, with the fake dating relationship, him BUYING HER A PLANE TICKET BACK?? him literally being the guy who shows up, the whole ~airport~ episode, literally!!! the plot point of what's his face at the airport referencing gina's feelings for EJ and im just. olivia rodrigo i love you but please why did you leave hsmtmts we all knew you and ricky were meant to be endgame and gina and ej were the other half endgame but it's fine it's fine i am just survivng on fan edits and fanfiction so c'est la vie baby

I have seen on so many occasions that the Lucaya kiss was too passionate for Disney's standards at the time. That's not why it was cut. Michael Jacobs tweeted (@GMWwriters) the almost kiss was shot two different ways (kiss and almost kiss) and that it didn't fit the direction that the show was going in. It's safe to say that Riley and Maya's friendship would've imploded had Lucas kissed Maya. Riley wasn't ready, obviously. I could write a list on why Rucas was doomed but I hope this is useful.
Yeah I forgot about this but I remember this being said too! TBH I heard both which leads me to believe maybe it was a little bit of both reasons.
It’s interesting because I was just on twitter for a LONG time trying to find where the writers talked about this but couldn’t find it. HOWEVER, Peyton Meyer (who played Lucas) apparently did a Twitch stream literally a couple months ago and talked about how they shot two versions and how he wishes the kiss was aired. Even he didn’t totally understand why the other one was shown. I know a Lucaya when I see one 🥲 I also saw all the tweets about how sad the showrunners were it got cancelled. Gosh it makes me wish we had a s4 for that and Andi Mack SO much more. Im so happy we’re getting one for hsmtmts
I think the show runners for gmw put a LOT of thought and intention into their show, so I’m sure that list would be very, very long. Lol but it’s been fun remembering gmw. Thank you for your ask anon :)

sooo people (r*na’s) are starting to talk about this. Im getting a little worried, i mean there’s nothing to be worried about i know my pw will be engame but this still could mean something, right..:(
Meg Donnelly talked about HSMTMTS in a recent interview and she revealed that she had filmed a lot of scenes with Matt Cornett which means EJ and Val will have a friendship. "When we filmed High School Musical, most of our scenes were together so that was really cool. It was so easy and so comfortable and we actually got so much closer on the High School Musical set. It was really weird not seeing him in a blue wig, but nonetheless, it was great." (This part is from an anon but still addresses what you're asking about so I'm putting it t/g.)
Here's the article everyone's freaking out about LOL. I have quite a few asks in my inbox about this part Meg talks about, so I will try to answer them all today (some t/g to save time). First thing first, let's all take a nice, deep breath. Okay? Breathe in. Breathe out. Now, I don't think we need to worry all that much just yet. Didn't we all predict months ago there was a strong possibility EJ and Val could be childhood friends from camp? Maybe they’ve been attending Camp Shallow Lake since they were junior campers and have always been close friends. Does Meg’s quote here really surprise anyone? To me, it just (partly) confirms Val and EJ may share history/a friendship and they’ll use it as an opportunity to show EJ’s growth as a character from the last time he attended camp (when he food poisoned Emily so Nini would be the lead). Val was presumably there at camp when it happened. But EJ doesn’t operate the way he used to (during his selfish 1.0 days) and Val may very well call attention to that. If they are good friends, maybe Val will let the audience know that she sees a real change in him from last year. He’s not who he used to be. The EJ now is “a really good guy” (2.08) who tries to do the right thing (in the right ways this time!) Just b/c “most” of Meg’s and Matt’s scenes were t/g doesn’t inherently mean that’s the end of Portwell lmaooo. Meg also said a few weeks ago that she feels like ppl will “really like” her character, even tho Val will contribute to some drama this season. I don’t think she would make that claim if most of the audience was supposed to hate/dislike her. I’m not getting antagonistic vibes from Val given her character description, which implies she won’t be just another Lily. Tim also said the Wildcats would “come head-to-head and heart-to-heart with Shallow Lake campers Jet, Maddox, and Val," which very well could mean Gina misinterpreting EJ and Val’s relationship at first before she has an eventual heart-to-heart with her by season’s end. Please keep in mind this show spent 2 whole seasons building Gina and EJ up as individual characters first, then progressed their story t/g. It took them 2 seasons to even agree to go out on a date together. With S3′s timeline being only 2 weeks, I doubt Val will cause any lasting damage to Portwell. This is the first season that they’re dating and we, the audience, get to see EJ and Gina as boyfriend and girlfriend for the first time. It’s more likely Val will force EJ and Gina to confront any insecurities in their relationship during these 2 weeks than Val causing them to permanently break up. Plus, as far as we know, Meg will be guest starring only in S3. I don’t think we’ll see her character again for any future season(s) considering Val may be based in California, not Utah. I get the feeling once the trailer is released, Val’s part in the trailer may be deceptive in that it’ll look like she’ll cause bad drama for Portwell, but it could actually be the good kind of drama that will help strengthen them in the long run. TLDR: don’t stress over Meg and Matt sharing “most” scenes together in S3. I know Portwell have a tough season ahead of them, but who says they won’t continue on this journey together? Val might just help EJ realize just how much he cares about Gina and how different his relationship with her is from his previous relationships. We just won’t know until S3 starts airing.

this is so true and it’s frankly infuriating how some n*ni stans (mostly l*v stans) want to credit the shows success onto ol*via and have been awful to sofia lately. when the wdykal duet came out they wanted to talk about rin* duets and now they want to talk about n*ni being "the female lead that carried the show!" no, she did not. i like l*v & nini but sofia was carrying the acting of that show in her back and still is. she was the only recognizable face of the show at the time because andi mack was so popular. sofia getting her moment to shine was long overdue. it’s been so sad seeing all the low key racist comments lately. "she looks like ol*via" "she’s getting her moment because ol*via left". rina is not a thing because olivia left. rina has been a thing and was always going to be a thing because tim switched the writing when he noticed the chemistry. like i will need those liv stans that tuned into the show on s2 for the drama to stop watching the show and stop disrespecting sofia.
nothing but facts spoken anon!!!!
not so secret fact about me that most people know, i LOVE olivia like i am such a huge fan of her and everything she does, and i LOVED nini as a character.
but what i’m NEVER going to do is disrespect the reason i even know about hsmtmts at ALL which is because of miss sofia wylie. i’ve known and loved sofia way way way longer than any of the other cast members of this show, and for so many of this shows original fans SHE is the reason that we even watch.
i strongly believe that without her there is no fanbase, there is no core group of people who spent countless hours online in 2019 defending this show to all the people who said it was going to be awful and said it was going to ruin the hsm movies. the original fanbase who was here because of sofia is the concrete foundation to all that is the hsmtmts fandom today and i will not stand for the way people drag my girl through the mud, it’s so frustrating.

I saw you mentioning that Matt and Josh are best friends, but I don't think they're as close as they used to be (they don't interact as much as they used to and they don't seem to be so supportive of each other as they used to; I think they're on good terms since Matt talked happily about the ejxricky battle with light swords and also put in his story andrew's tiktok with josh). From what I understand Josh went to Disneyland (I know there's one close to LA and one in Florida) and we know he was on a cruise (he may still be and just made a stop at Disneyland, in this case it can be from another continent also). But if he's not on the cruise anymore and he went to the one close to LA it doesn't look good to me... He really could've come.
It really makes me sad to see the actors not being as close... One thing that made me like this show so much was how close the cast was in s1. I know then the whole drama thing happened. But , now, it only seems to get worse. Matt and Josh aren't as close (I really hope there isn't a pb), Josh doesn't seem to be as close to the rest of the cast as he used to, Sofia unfollowed Matt on tiktok and she also didn't come to the premiere and she was in LA (here it seems to be a pb)...
I also saw that Sofia follows a few people on tiktok (do you know which of the cast she still follows there?).
Anon social media is not their entire life. We can’t assume anything according to who they follow or what they post or where they are. Josh and Sofia might be having their last moments of vacation because after hsmtmts press Sofia is gonna be on a marathon of SGE with its premieres in different countires and its press. Josh will be travelling the US and Europe for his tour like let’s give them a break.

did the leaks mention something in specific about how their breakup goes down or is anon talking about ricky and gina looking at each other during camp prom? not sure what they mean exaggeration? like the almost **** or something else?
POTENTIAL HSMTMTS EP 7 SPOILER WARNING (incase anyone cares)
I just assumed when they said the "leaks exaggerated" they meant that maybe Gina doesn't break up with EJ (Isabel said Gina's the one who initiates it) since the rest of their ask was about the pw breakup. As for that very last part about staring at each other, I'm gonna be honest, I don't think I registered that when I wrote my response lol (sorry to that anon!!) so I think I totally misunderstood. I realize now that they were probably trying to say that they think the leaks were exaggerating when they said that Ricky & Gina almost [redacted]. It's not an exaggeration though, it literally says "Ricky & Gina [redacted]!" twice on the shotlist for ep 7.
While I don't think it's what they're referencing, there is a moment during Prom where Ricky & Gina (supposedly) make eye contact across the dance floor, like they wish they were dancing with each other. I think it might be while Maddox & Jet are singing "Wouldn't Change a Thing" but I'm not totally sure.
Side note: is it dumb that I keep censoring the [redacted]? I'm sure most people know by now, I just don't want to ruin it for anybody who doesn't.

I think the previous anon was talking about if you have seen episode 4-6 of Season 3 of HSMTMTS yet because some Rina shipper who is a journalist said that she got to watch episode 4-6 early. Have you seen episode 4-6 of Season 3 for HSMTMTS yet?
OH! 😂 I should’ve put it together to know it was HSMTMTS. But, yes, I do have access to the screeners!
Just a heads up — I don’t usually share my thoughts on what I’ve seen unless it’s spoiler-free ones ahead of a season premiere that abides by the embargo details.
So, I’m not sure who that other journalist is or what they’re sharing. But I won’t be sharing DETAILS here until my review is up the day the episode drops because you're just not supposed to spoil those things. Also, I want everyone to experience the episodes for the first time without spoilers.

do you think it’s possible that instead of nini, lily could end up being ricky’s endgame? i’ve started to consider it as a possibility given the writers likely wanting to avoid the irl drama and surrounding implications of putting ricky and nini as the actual endgame of the show the way it was almost certainly planned… plus ork’s been upped to a series regular, and she’s likely going back to east high imo if there’s a fourth season…
if they write it well i genuinely don’t think people would hate it as much as they think they do at the current moment, and while olivia rose keegan’s write up when she was announced called lily a freshman, in the show it’s never mentioned so that doesn’t have to be true for canon. plus ork is even a year older than josh, so there’s not the same age issue like with sofia that people have talked about with por.twell and such…
That would be a hell of a twist anon but even assuming that Olivia and Josh just refuse to act out romantic Rini scenes again I can't see Rily being endgame unless for some reason Sofia has left the show before the series finale. And if for some reason both a Rini and Rina endgame was not an option then I think it's much more likely that Ricky just ends the series single. I can't remember if Lily's age was ever mentioned in S2 but it's likely that there was a reason that she was written as a freshman and it will probably factor into the show in some way and that age gap would be a serious obstacle to them being endgame. Plus I think Tim knows that at least one combination of the core 4 needs to endgame in order for the series to have a satisfactory ending.
I do agree with you that the audience will probably come to like Rily. It's likely that a significant portion of Ricky's screen time in S3 will be with Lily, the likely secret romance tropes they'll be playing with are fun to watch if done right, and Ricky is always at his most charming when he's romancing someone who likes him back so I think there will be some very sweet Rily scenes before disaster inevitably strikes. And I do think that a lot of people aren't factoring in that Rily is likely together for most, if not nearly all, of S3. What exactly Lily's role would be after S3 is anyone's guess, Tim has referred to her as an agent of chaos which makes her the closest thing this show has to a Cheryl Blossom. She certainly brings some much needed Glee S1, 2, and 6 energy to HSMTMTS which is something the show could use more of so Tim could definitely keep around for the rest of the series in some capacity.

#katy hijacks a post#sorry literally don't apologize for dumping a ton of headcanons on my posts it makes me 🥰♥️💞🫶🤍♥️😍😻♥️💞🫶🤍🤍♥️😍😻♥️ (about the nerdy Santana post)
But literally I just imagine the NY gang is the biggest bunch of nerds ever and also Tina is in the NY gang shh but yes agree w Tina and Santana being the biggest fanfic writers of the bunch. And it's literally canon that Blaine reads Sam Star Wars fanfic so you know he's reading him their friends' fics too. And Artie is probably there and they're both just listening with rapt fascination while Blaine reads to them and does all the voices and such
Honestly I think Kurt would be writing fanfic too, but maybe not as much as the other two. I think he'd be sitting there watching whatever nerdy thing everyone else is watching and he'd end up sketching out costume designs that would fit in with the world. While complaining about how lazy the actual costume design is lol. And he'd be helping everyone with their outfits when it came to Halloween costumes or any kind of con. Tina too, bc we know she can sew and I like to think she'd be creative with clothes and costumes as well
Also hello you know Kurt and Santana are writing the Facts Of Life musical together. That's basically canon lmao
my hijack of the nerdy santana post:
the NY gang are the largest group of nerds you'll ever see, just in different ways and different fandoms.
Tina, Artie, Sam, and Blaine are all in the same fandom(s) and talk about it(them) IRL all the time. One of these fandoms is also the fandom Santana is in, secretly one of the BNFs of the fandom smirking as she listens to them rant about things she's made discourse in the fandom, but they just think she's mocking them. Sometimes she chimes in too when she gets annoyed at their characterisation of a character, or their analysis of a scene, or when Blaine is reading one of her fics outloud and getting the cadence wrong goddamn it give it here, hobbit! Tina is sitting there agreeing with her when she says the cadence is wrong because it's one of the fics she co-authored. (they both still have no idea who the other is, still totally anonymous friends despite writing together since freshman year or something)
I have no idea what fandom it is they'd all be in, there's too many of them and i definately don't know all of them. maybe a Sci-fi show or something, a big one with a lot of content. They are also all in other fandoms the others aren't a part of - Sam with Disney channel shows, and nickelodeon shows and he would totally love Julie and the Phantoms rn and HSMTMTS. He also still stans Avatar and also ATLA and LOK. He, Artie, Blaine, and Tina are all Marvel stans. Santana prefers DC (Sam is a stan of both, as well as more indie comics). Blaine is the one most into stuff like D&D and LOTR but Tina also likes Medival fantasy. Artie is the biggest Sci-fi nerd. Tina's still in the Twilight fandom, but mostly so she can make more supernaturally accurate fic, she's also in the Supernatural Fandom and was in the SuperWhoLock fandom by osmosis in 2012-2016ish. Also Merlin, i think most of them like Merlin. (i am definately missing fandoms i have no idea about)
Rachel and Kurt are more into the Broadway fandom, obsessing over musicals (Blaine is too, and Tina dabbles from time to time in the fandom). Kurt likes to write fanfiction where he adds more queer themes to the shows he loves, or expands on the queer themes, but he doesn't post often and usually only writes one or two fics for a show. Rachel mostly argues with people. She's the one sending anon hate to people she thinks are wrong about their opinions.
Kurt and Tina design and make all of their costumes for Comic Con.
Eventually Santana can't hide her nerdom, and she comes out as having a tumblr and writing fic, and she and Tina realise who the other is and have this huge tearful 'meeting' as their online personas becuase they've been besties for years now online and have helped each other through a lot of things, especially during highschool. Tina was the first person Santana came out to as a Lesbian, Santana is the first (and only, at the time) person Tina came out to as pan.
They often have movie nights, or show binges, sleeping over at each other's apartments so much that they're not even really sure who lives where and everyone has spare clothes all over New York and just crash at whoever's closest after nights out or long shifts or emotional days.
the nerd nerds eventually coax Rachel and Kurt into their fandoms and Rachel and Kurt hate them for it, because they never knew they could feel so many things about silly fictional characters that fly in spaceships, or wear tights to fight crime, or use magic to protect the once and future king. Blaine and Kurt love Merlin and it becomes Kurt's comfort show. Sam introduces Kurt to the young avengers and he cries a little at the first kiss between Wiccan and Hulkling. They all freak out at the fact that both Robin and Superboy are canonically Bi with boyfriends right now.

Mercedes is just there, she doesn't get it, she's fine never going on tumblr and only reading fluffy Twilight fanfiction Tina recomends thanks. but she loves that they're so excited about things and enjoys listening to them all infodump about their fandoms (she's an awesome friend like that)

i wanna start a lil' chain of positivity here, so i'm gonna ask you: why do you ship portwell? what about them resonates with you in your life that makes you wanna fight for this ship? just curious to see everyone's answers :)
Hi, anon! Thank you so much for your ask. This is such a great question! I adore portwell for a ton of reasons, but I think one of the big ones is how pure their affection for each other is. Their relationship storyline doesn't have a ton of unnecessary drama or random out of the blue love triangles and it doesn't need that to stay interesting. I love how they constantly uplift each other and cheer each other on. It always sounds cliche, but they genuinely make each other better. Another reason I tend to connect with the ship a lot is because I see a ton of myself in both EJ and Gina. I relate to the two of them for different reasons, but those reasons immediately made the both of them my favorite characters so the fact that they got/are getting together just made me !!! Plus, I’m always a sucker for the frenemies to lovers plot so really me being obsessed with portwell was inevitable ;).
Thank you so much for the ask!! It was such a fun little surprise and I always love talking about hsmtmts. Feel free to drop into my ask box anytime <33
