[organic-guacamole]

episode 209 spoilers below

I'm so late today but here it is

I love EJ, he's finally learning to be happy. I'm so proud.

Ms Jenn = every boomer during zoom calls, like jeez yes we can hear you stop shouting at me.

LOVE THE SUBTLE JOKE ABOUT QUARANTINE "these dark times" "you mean spring break?"

ah yes, remember when we thought covid was just gonna give us a longer spring break? good times

SEBLOS

damn the passive aggressiveness from Carlos and the absolutely over it tone from seb✋

CASWELL COUSINS!!!!! THEY'RE THE BEST!!!!

we needed more if this kind of goofiness for the first part of season 2 that only such an iconic duo can provide.

old old movies-

is it even that old, or is Nini being a gen alpha rn-

i choose to imagine EJ being scared of the movie and hiding in Ashlyn's shoulder while she keeps a straight face and then EJ pretending to be tough afterwards

aww redlyn are soulmates.... yknow, if gingers had souls

(please ignore me)

y'all saw how EJ's face *lit up* when Gina logged on? how dare you tell me he doesn't like her

ofc she's no damsel in distress, she's Gina porter, she's amazing.

so do we think she'd be the type to just glare at suspicious people? or bark at them

do they not know that Rini broke up? or is Ms Jenn just wanting Nini to suffer through her heartbreak to make her a better actress....

speaking of, why is Nini in the call? she's not in the show anymore. Unless she is, even after the rose and the song got cut, which would be so unfair to all those that auditioned properly before she even came back but whatever, she's the main character I get it 🙄

big red is a hero honestly, Nini better thank him for changing the subject like that

I can't-

i won't work you over the break-

this woman would 100% work her kids 24/7 if it was legal and idk how to feel about it.

YES GINA USE THAT CHARM

QUEEN

FRENCH QUEEN

SHE LEARNT FROM THE BEST (antoine obvi)

smh the airport lady, eavesdropping on Gina's call.

The way she was so happy to answer EJ's call, "eej"

I love them your honour.

EJ WITH PAINTED NAILS YES PLEASE

great now we need to see Gina, Ashlyn and EJ having a complete spa day and EJ getting really into it and Gina and Ashlyn take pictures of him when he's laying down in a robe with a mask and cucumbers on his eyes.

finally we get to see Gina's side of portwell

the way she considered it as flirting, this is the sign she asked for in episode 6 come onnnnn

no is Asher/jack really doing tiktok dances in an airport-

Ricky is me. I am burrito.

oh Lynne, sweetie, I'm sorry but the blonde hair is not it

is that even the same lady or-

THE BEAN

THE CHICAGO BEAN

THE BIG OLD METAL BEAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY 😭

jetlag is my go to excuse for anything... I haven't travelled in 2 years.

"welcome to the Lynne and Mike gossip show. where we talk about our depressed son that we both neglect in certain ways! And now a word from our sponsor, Nord VPN..."

SO MANY CANDLES

WHAT DEMON IS LYNNE TRYING TO SUMMON IN HIS ROOM-

is Nina becoming social media obsessed EJ from season 1? AND SHE LIED ABOUT HAVING SONGS TOO PLEASE WHY ARW THEY RECYCLING THE SAME PLOT-

Gina smiling at the picture of her family on Instagram makes me so happy, idek why.

EJ's nails are so pretty, we needed to see it more (unless he had it on for the rest of the episode and I just.... didn't notice🧍🏽‍♀️)

oh not the tiktok kid✋

yes ma'am end this strange mans whole tiktok career

sir take a hint and leave

GINA NO DONT SAY YOUR LAST NAME HE COULD BE A HUMAN TRAFFICKER

Ricky, walking in style✨

weird kid, ok then Lynne, can't you see he's this close to the edge?

not all your fault baby Ricky, Nini sucks a bit more

RICKY YOU DIDN'T COME DOWN HARD ON THE SONG-

YOU ASKED WHAT IT WAS ABOUT AND SHE SHUT YOU DOWN-

PLEASE DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF

ok but the deleting comment thing was very bad

still don't know if I like Jack honestly

hmmm so Nini's calling herself Nini instead of Nina in her little egg seat, while trying to write a song without inspiration.... Nini, honey, Ricky was your muse, he inspired you to write all those songs, even if it wasn't good for the relationship.

that doesn't mean you gotta get back with him, or that you can't write a song that not about him butttt it'll take some time

the rainbow sticker in her box and her rainbow shirt-

anyways wbk she's not totally straight

Jack are you a criminal?

quick, Gina, check his ankle for a tracker

THE YES AND PRACTICE STRIKES AGAIN

the way Gina wasn't into it in episode 6 but she's used the technique twice now

stole her grandma's Pomeranian-

Jack where the hell did you pull that out from-

the fake crying killed me, that looks like so much fun though

anyone wanna raid a first class lounge with me?

wait so is jack not gonna go in with her?

wouldn't he go in too? help look for the credit card? SO CONFUSED

the first class lounge guy was so into the drama though, watch his face when they start arguing 😭

sorry to break this to you Kourtney, but you haven't even blocked the second act yet soooo...

take that as you will

I love how all of them are totally dissing the dance off

that's the most realistic part of this show tbh

shouldn't Nini have asked how she knew....since the start? why is the fact that her best friend has knowledge of a North high secret now dawning on her...

Howie is sweet honestly, at least he's trying to help. but I stand with Kourtney, don't take him back just because he sang an amazing song, and is giving you a heads up on what's gonna happen...

KOURTNEY IS ME TRYING TO LEAVE AN ONLINE CLASS

I hate school

ooo Nini's writing a song about bad internet connection 🤩🤩🤩

I never lie, except when I do-

son that is the creepiest thing you could say to a stranger that you've been "helping"

2 truths and a lie👀

he's an Ariana fan 100%

called it.

OLDER BROTHER-

WHAT-

free spirit? damn so brother porter was in that horse movie

so has she been kissed or not?????????

I feel like she's moved more than 15 times though so possibly

but then if she's moved so much, and before east high she never opened up to anyone, she's never been kissed then?? damn

same though Gina so let's be besties please

heartbreak president is a great song title idea, give Nini a call rn

but wait

is the no strings attached feeling thing about her telling Ricky she liked him? she thought she was moving away so she thought it'd be no strings attached???

guys I think I figured it out insert the "I've connected two dots" meme

THE DUKE SWEATSHIRT

IS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND'S

OMG I LOVE I LOVE

NOT THAT I KNOW OF???

ma'am did you just kill me

yes you did

Lynne and Ricky have such a weird relationship

YES IT DID SUCK

TODD SUCKS

LYNNE SUCKS

yeah I get that you wanted Ricky to like Todd BUT THAT WASN'T THE TIME

right so we already know that Ricky was so desperate to keep Nini cuz he didn't want to be like his parents, and now Lynne's talking about this-

Richard needs a long hug

yes Lynne, it is your fault. thank you for finally admitting it.

YES DYE YOUR HAIR

BLOND HIGHLIGHTS RICKY WILL RISE AGAIN

"sometimes the best, last thing you can do for someone you love, is let them go."

gotta admit I teared up at that point

not me thinking big red was calling ms Jenn cupcake for a hot second-

Carlos please omg, you're at the "beach" and they're leaving for the pool?

also, why not just do the call from the hotel room please omg

"don't ask me"

"Carlos"

OMG WHAT HAPPENED

big red wants the tea

O M G

SEB IS JEALOUS

JEALOUS SEBBY IS MY FAVOURITE THING IDC

I'm surprised ms Jenn knew how to give Nini permission to screenshare tbh

So lily's been stalking the East high kids and spending time editing this video while she's supposedly in an immersion trip.... right

EJ and Ashlyn's picture is so chaotic, what even is happening there

"slacking off" bestie its spring break, obviously they're confident enough that they'll get it done in time so why not focus on your own musical.

jealous seb = sassy seb

please what if those guys Carlos is posing with are his cousins or something and that's why he's so confused about Seb

6 YEAR OLD EJ I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM

Nini saying she's obsessed with her ex, that's not weird at all 👍

I can just tell Matt had a blast harassing Julia with those puppets.

Jack please dont be like that, "yet"

chances are you'll never see eachother again 🥰

(honestly sometimes I really miss those friends I made on trips and stuff when we'd spend the day or week together, only to never see them again....those were the good days though)

Ashlyn and Nini should write more songs..... something better than this one at least

Nini: "im good"

cue the Tia Mowry (please I can't spell) crying gif

oh I forgot Ricky was in the show for a hot second

1. where did Gina get to film this without people being around

2. did she just... randomly change her clothes???

ok but the transition between Carlos and EJ

*chefs kiss*

now everyone shut up, EJ's singing

oh i think I'm pregnant

HIS MUSCLES

YES KOURTNEY

I love how big red and Kourtney went from being "the best friends™" to the couple in season 1, to kinda close themselves and having their own plots

sebby makes me so happy

props to biggies editing skills honestly

PORTWELL BEING SIDE TO SIDE I CANT

AND SEBLOS OMG

big red lives for the drama

"wow" so true Ricky

no he is not cute, stop it

"holding" ok that's kinda cute

yeah EJ's a lucky guy😌

jokes aside, it's not that hard to exchange numbers-

keep in touch if you want

ok I really like Jack now

if he comes back in season 3, maybe have him be LGBTQ+ ?

like the only out characters they have rn are Seb and Carlos and they're like the sterotypes, yk?

I'd love to see jack kinda break the mold

Ricky's breaking my heart

that song just hurts

the only thing

now I don't hate Lynne????????

HOW DARE THEY WRITE IN A PROPER REDEMPTION ARC FOR HER

UGH IM SUPPOSED TO HATE HER FOREVER

I mean I don't live her now but she's good

but honestly

"mom can I show you something"

IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

THE PICTURE AND EVERYTHING OMG

I'm sobbing please help

Gina saying she's just waiting for the right guy and then EJ coming to the airport to pick her up late at night without her asking, offering to bring her back in the morning so she won't have to Uber, bringing her a granola bar (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE FORGOT TO PACK) and without expecting anything in return???

ms ma'am you've got a keeper right there

her smile at the end was so heartwarming I really can't.

this episode was great.

it felt really short but I liked it, great character development for Ricky, Lynne and Gina.

Cant wait for next episode to see more of EJ being the ideal boyfriend /hj

[redeemed-wren]

Alright! I descovered that my flat has ice-cream in the freezer so time for a bowl of ice-cream and Empire Strikes Back. It's been roughly... five? maybe even eight years since I've last seen this it's gonna be great!

Once again. The opening. So many memories associated with these movies and the opening crawl brings me right back.

Ngl, tauntauns are one of my favourite creatures. We had the Hoth base in lego so maybe having a lego version of one added to that

Oh rip tauntaun

Leia's Hoth outfit is great

Tbh all of her outfits are great.

Han slapping a hand over 3PO's mouth amuses me greatly

Man I forgot how much of this movie I've forgotten.

And I think Wampa's arm is the third arm removal of the trilogy so far?

Lol rip Mark Hamill wandering around in a blizzard while the crew film him from inside the hotel.

Tauntaun noises are great

Oh noooo Chewie when the door closes with Han and Luke still out there no bby he's so saaaad

Rip second Tauntaun

I still can't get over the fact that Han full on put Luke into a dead Tauntaun. I don't think I'll ever be over it

Oop there's the kiss. Luke looks so smug afterwards wow.

I want a hug from Chewie he looks like he gives good hugs.

Hm random headcanon/story idea that the Hoth base was found/started by the Bad Batch and maybe Echo died whilst securing it or something idk and that's why it's called Echo Base.

I love how the AT-ATs just explode once they get knocked over, like they hadn't been too armoured to be damaged before

I forgot how much I love Han. Honestly all three of the main OT trio are so good.

Yoda!!! Honestly feral swamp gremlin Yoda is my favourite

Hmm I feel like Han is almost a little too aggressive in his flirting with Leia. And I know it's been talked about before, but Leia had barely shown any romantic interest in him before & he keeps pushing and then kisses her and it just doesn't sit entirely right. I do still love them, but mmm

Oh hey its ol' Shady Sheev.

Aw poor R2 left out in the rain

Rockin', rockin' and rollin', down to the beach Yoda was strollin'

Han just shoots the ground to test his hypothesis about the big space worm what an idiot I love him

Run, run run run, I can be a backpack while you run.

Honestly I feel like the weird slow-mo of the degobah cave scene always weirded me out more than the actual content of it, I've always been bad at recognising faces so it took me a while to realise it was supposed to be Luke's face in the helmet.

Oh yeah the bounty hunters!! Boba my boy!!

I love all the snakes and reptiles just chilling in the background on the degobah set.

Honestly shout out to that dude who took the blame for losing the Falcon knowing what would happen he's a real team player.

Man I completely forgot Slave I was in the released garbage and it made me excited to see it.

Lando!

Rip 3PO just getting exploded tho

"Luke I don't want to lose you to the Emperor like I lost Vader" oof my heart

"There is another" honest I wanna see more force sensitive Leia. AU where Luke turns to the darkside and Leia has to become a Jedi to fight him

Cloud city is really cool tho

Why is Chewie frantically rescuing 3PO's parts making me so sad?

Han i n s t a n t l y firing at Vader is iconic

Chewie keeps making me saaaaad

I'm honestly so glad Lucas was talked out of killing Han, the carbonite scene was painful enough even knowing what happens

Leia said "it's a trap" before it was cool

Boba's voice was bugging me because it was too close to Temuera Morrison so I googled it and turns out yeah, they replaced his voice in 2004, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. Makes sense in universe but I kinda wanna see it like it was when the movie was first released. Anyway shout out to Jason Wingreen, the OG Boba voice

Ice cream maker guy! What a legend.

I have seen the big reveal so many times its legitimately lost all meaning to me ngl

Vader: join me. Luke: *yeets into the void*. Vader: oh huh guess that works too? Bye?

Everyone standing on the bridge being very still as Vader walks out when they lose the Falcon amuses me

It has been far too long since I watched that movie last! Twas really good to revisit!

Deleted scenes time!

Is Boba's name only mentioned in this one deleted scene? I feel like it is, at least in this movie

I'm giggling at the description of this one: Luke and Leia share a rare, quasi-romantic moment together in Hoth - well before their kinship is established in Return of the Jedi. Luckily, R2-D2 makes a well-timed interruption.

R2 be like "Oh man no I gotta stop this they're siblings!" cos he knows. (I'm pretty sure he knows at least? Honestly at this point I just assume R2 knows as much as I do)

I like this scene apart from the random Luke/Leia almost kiss, Leia being all riled up and feeling like she can't count on anyone cos both Luke and Han are leaving adds a fun aspect to her character

Ehehehe the best deleted scene, the wampa yoinking the snowtrooper after 3PO removed the sign to the door and then Vader walking up and just looking so disappointed. I'm disappointed we don't have sound for that.
