now that the show is over for good I just gotta say

this show means so much to me and hase since I discovered it in 2021. that time in my life was stressful and hard to get through and through hsmtmts I met some really amazing people on the hsmtmts discord server (at the time there were only 2 servers for the show and one was dead so)

that said, throughout seasons 2 and 3 where some questionable things happened, I looked forward to every Friday (then Wednesday) just because of how fun it was to chat and interact with these people on the server. it was so fun to have inside jokes and playful ship wars and all that. it sounds silly but it made me really happy to have these friends through a screen where the only thing we had in common is loving this show.

I'm such a different person to who I was when I started watching it but every time I rewatch season 1 (10 times and counting y'all) I get transported back and somehow only recall the best parts of that time, the nostalgia from that era overrides the worst and I'm so grateful for that.

I'm so grateful for this show for letting me live out the theatre kid dream I could never sustain irl. thanks to this show I started posting my writing online too, which has opened up a lot more for me too.

not to mention y'all here on Tumblr too:

ik I didn't always interact with y'all but you deserve a mention because during the craziness of season 2 and 3 y'all were so hilarious and always had something to say. to me it felt like a proper fandom community on there and I only wish I reached out and interacted more in the past

I'm so happy that this show exists even if I would totally rewrite a lot of things that happened (for example make season 2 and 3 have the vibes that season 1 and now season 4 have, more mature and inclusive of all characters, etc).

but anyway, this is my quota for being sentimental. see y'all around

Fanfiction is a huge part of Tumblr- My question for you all is, have you read any fanfiction about your characters, or characters from other pieces of media?

#and he made sure of that!

The moment...

...they consciously ended up on each other's radar

...they became awed/intrigued by each other

...each other's opinions started mattering most

...they realised they really do get each other

...they became attracted to each other

...they started crushing hardcore on each other

...they realised the interest was mutual

...they realised they were falling/had fallen for the other

...they realised they were in hella deep

...the intensity of their lovesickness became unbearable

...they finally let themselves be in love

...they knew they were each other's forever girl/boy

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!!!!

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.

I just love the fact that the second they got the chance to have another chance at Ryan's character, they made him explicitly gay. The HSMTMTS team really said, "Ain't no way we're having this straight shit if we're making High School Musical 4"

Stop I am being unfairly given the Madlyn ‘I wanna live like I have never even, heard the word regret’ Verse at 2 am thanks to Spotify. I was not prepared I can’t do this at 2 AM I am in no condition to sob.

If you could have written an episode of the show, what would be the main plot?
