We finally got them all :’)

[edge-of-the-end]

possibly my favourite thing about the rotpl finale is getting confirmation that lydia already knew she was gay. cynthia was going through such a time, and we finally know that lydia was actively protecting herself and in control of the whole situation. the rehearsal kisses? she instigated that with the knowledge that it wasn’t two straight girls, because she clocked cynthia from the get-go and still offered to kiss her for the play, because it was no commitment. she couldn’t be abandoned because the play already had a strict deadline. when cynthia ran away after the pre-play kiss, and avoided her at the dance, she knew she’d gone too far, and that she’d have to pull away and not talk to cynthia so that she could maintain the boundaries that would protect her from heartbreak again. the whole situation gains a whole extra layer because while cynthia might not have had the words to express who she was, lydia did, and the words were deviant and invert and sick, so of course the poor girl, this seventeen (maybe sixteen?) year old girl knew that the world wasn’t safe for her. despite all this, cynthia pulled it back. everywhere lydia hid behind behind femininity and long hair and theatricality, cynthia stuck out like a sore thumb, short haired and feisty and so butch without even knowing what it was, that overtness represented that hope, that the bit of lydia that was hiding could be a little freer. the glances that we see when the teacher suggests more rehearsals can turn into the active looking for each other that we see in the finale because that’s where the balance is, and it shows lydia that cynthia will never deny her. she will see her in public, around her friends, and will say she loves her to nancy, and that is what lydia needs. she spends so much time acting as these characters that she is virtually never herself, and in the hall of mirrors, surrounded by her own reflection, she gets to see that being who she is, a young lesbian in love, might be worth it. that the girl in the mirror, kissing cynthia, can exist and be happy.

We don't have a pledge. Not yet.

HEY, WHAT SCENE? #6 Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies - S01E10

[tforjatp]

can someone please do that thing where you save the episodes to a google drive and allow others to have access to it like someone did for Willow? That way while we try to have the show picked up by another platform we can still access it and watch it?

UPDATE:: here is the link to the rotpl episodes over google drive! thank you so much to @chlora-boii for this! ❤️❤️

Olivia: *sighing* Cynthia's.

Cynthia: Fuck shit up out there, but don't die.

Nancy: *wiping away a tear* Inspirational.

did nancy took the stuffed toy from the boy?

I love her

Something I need to see in season 2: at least one full episode of Nancy being the best ally and coming up with increasingly batshit excuses for why Cynthia and Lydia keep disappearing together until Cynthia is ready to tell the other Pink Ladies

There's so much I could say about Cynthia's coming out scene

From the small differences in their reaction between each question

Or the way Cynthia's mood immediately changes when Nancy mentions the play

To the way their hands are still dirty from working on the car for some reason I can't explain feels like a giant gut punch

Or the little short breath nancy take when she reads the note, how her hand shake a little

Or the way Cynthia curls up a little more in fear of what Nancys gonna say

Or the way Cynthia almost seems dissociated while Nancy reads the note, not really in the room anymore, probably too terrified of what's gonna happen to bear to witness it

Or the fact that Nancy knows Cynthia so well she said the perfect thing, that she either said something to make cynthia laugh, or the laugh was just one of relief bc Cynthia wouldn't have to lose one of her best friends
