ice and mav moving in together. ice n mav pulling up to the yard of their little two bedroom apartment (they had to have two to keep up appearances). ice and mav setting down their boxes on the front doorstep and christening the house with a kiss.

ice and mav chuckling as they sorted out their stuff, ordering takeout so they could sit in the middle of the lounge and go through each others old magazines.

ice popping a bottle of champagne, and the cork sticking into the roof, where it ended up staying until they moved out.

mav inspecting the kitchen, and ice coming up behind him to place soft kisses on the back of his neck.

the pure joy that filled the two of them as they slow danced to some old ninety’s tune, ices hands on mav’s hips, mavs chin leaning on his partners shoulder.

they finally had a spot that was their own, no one else’s. this was their place that they could be their truest selves, this was their little bubble of peace. just for them. and they loved it.

Bringing this back for Pride Month 😊

 Josh opened the front door for Toby.

 Toby gave him a quiet “hey” as he shuffled in, his mind clearly miles away.

 “You want a beer or something?” Josh asked, in hopes of snapping his friend out of whatever funk he was in.

 Toby finally looked up.

 “What?”

 “A beer, do you want one?”

 “Uh, yeah, sure.”

 As Josh went to the kitchen and pulled two beers out of the fridge, he heard Toby make his way down to the ground level and heard the screen door that led to the back yard open and close.

 Josh found Toby sitting on the edge of the back porch, he handed Toby a cold glass bottle and sat down beside him.

 “So, what’s going on that merits a visit and has got you so distracted?”

Thoughts/Discourse on the new Jonah plot

a lot of people are probs gonna push back on this and im willing to have a !!calm, civil discussion on my ideas but this is where i, personally, am at right now with what they gave us

Let me start off by saying I think it is an important plot. Families have money issues a lot, a lot of people move in with relatives/assisted housing from having family homes and kids go through the shock of not having spending money anymore. and SOMETIMES it is completely by surprise, it comes out of nowhere and you’re fine one day and completely broke the next. But they made it clear this wasn’t the case for Jonah.

Idk if it was because it had to tie in with the wish which HAD to be in episode 2 or if they literally just didn’t think about the words they wrote for Jonah, but they made it clear this all happened ‘a couple months’ ago. That they lost the money a year ago, but Jonah only found out when they lost the house, but it was still months ago.

But we have seen absolutely no signs from this, whatsoever. (Now the show is in Andi’s pov but im not gonna say ‘andi is just a bad friend and didn’t see the signs until this episode’ cos shes not, she’s observant and she would have noticed, especially if she HAD the wish the whole time, that it was money issues.) The problem is bad execution and plot development.

We should have seen this grow gradually, Jonah not eating at the spoon before this one episode, Jonah asking for some change, Jonah being late to events/overly tired due to home changes. Instead, he gave away a perfectly good skateboard and then went and bought a whole new one a few episodes ago (weeks in the TL). Skateboards are expensive, and normally you only buy a new deck because everything together gets upwards of $100. But he gave it away insistently and had that money by the weekend ready to spend. They still could have had that plot lead to the skateboard shop: ‘oh yeah? id give you mine but theyre kinda expensive.... I’m willing to go to the shop on the weekend and help you pick one out though!’ He went to a 3 month long frisbee summer camp, he’s been eating at the spoon, etc.

It’s just a weird inconsistency.

And look, I know they’re gonna explore it deeper, I just personally think if they had this plot point coming to a peak reveal, they should have built it up over an arc of hints, not just obvious signs he doesn’t have money all in one episode (unless, of course they had JUST told Jonah the money issues, but they clearly stated that wasnt the case). I still it’s great theyre showing that not ordering food and not wanting to go to ticketed events are signs someone might be struggling with money, it’s just how they went about it.

Moving on... to what i feel is stolen rep..

This should have been Amber’s plot. It WAS Amber’s plot. And it genuinely feels like they remembered this storyline and realised it was important and decided to give it more attention, they would leach it onto a main character.

If this would have continued from Amber’s plot it would have made so much more sense. We already know her family was struggling with money, it could have moved to ‘I thought we were doing ok but my dad told me we lost the house last week.’ so she reached back out to Jonah, the person that supported her through everything the first time. They still could have shown everything as equally as they did, just Jonah convincing Amber to open up to the GHC about it for a larger support network

I wanted more exposure on this issue, I wanted them to explore it. But through Amber, the person they already set up and established. Sure, two people in a friend group having money problems isnt unlikely, but they didn’t set Jonah up.

At this point it just feels like they threw away anything developing with Amber and it upsets me. Of course, there’s more episodes to come and she’s in A LOT of them...

Final point/problem: Jamber. This really is everyone’s problem. And that’s the thing. Having Jamber in the end of this episode completely overshadowed everything. It took over Jonah’s plot and reduced it to him ‘cheating’/ getting back into a toxic relationship so by the end of the episode, a few people were crying, ‘why aren’t we talking about the rep??’ because the final thing we were left with was THAT. No one even remembered Jonah’s plot after seeing that, we all just went to rant.

Of course, it still exists and we do remember it, but throwing that in at the end destroyed any conversation we were gonna have outside of Jamber. And it probably does the same with the core audience as well. It feels like an episode like 311 where you watched it and it was meaningful and important and you walked away going ‘wow other cultures are cool, wow cyrus can feel safe with his friends! :)’ and this had the same feel up until the last 30 seconds. tGHC was walking down the bridge and youre like ‘wow Jonah has issues too, im so glad he was able to open up to his friends about it and maybe i can recognise signs in my life-OMG WTF NO JONAH!! ANDI IS WATCHING D: NO!!! WHAT ABOUT JANDI!!’  (or lesbian amber if youre not the demo)

like,, there goes your focus! And obviously this show is about drama and they always leave us in cliffhangers like that to pull us back in. I know they’ll resolve it but for the moment it just...doesn’t sit well with me. It feels like they remembered the wish and were like oh right! hmm.. how can we make this so Jonah inevitably ends up back with Amber

Idk maybe im just salty cos jonah being a foster kid would have lined up SO perfectly and we didn’t get it and i wanted it so bad.. and i was convinced it WASNT gonna be money problems because of the above reasons...but idk

Remember last season, when we thought all 3 members of TGHC liked Jonah Beck???

Now none of them do...😂😂

[multimetaverse]

What are your thoughts on TGHC friendships? The show maybe called Andi Mack, but I feel like Buffy and Cyrus friendship is much stronger than anything they have one on one with Andi.

Buffy and Cyrus do seem to be better friends with each other than either of them are with Andi but that’s due to too many of the cast being Andi’s family members and Disney’s censorship of Cyrus’ sexuality. 

Unfortunately the problem of too many of Andi’s family members being main characters will never be fixed. Part of the problem is that while Andi lives with Bex and Bowie in the apartment the show still has to make use of the Mack family house set; which is part of why the comedy the show staged back in 2a about Celia selling the house was so funny, obviously there was no way that the show could afford to get rid of those sets. So periodically the show will have to have scenes at the Mack house which means either adults only scenes, which they can only have so many of, or Andi needs to spend time there and it’s hard for the show to invent reasons why any of her friends need to spend time with Andi at her grandparents house. The show’s been able to link Jonah to Bowie via music which also keeps Jonah linked to Andi but there’s only so many scenes Buffy and Cyrus can have with Bex or Bowie; teens just don’t spend that much time with their friends parents. 

This has the unfortunate side effect of making it look like Andi is only periodically involved in her friends lives. For example, back in 2b when Buffy ended her friendship with Cyrus because he told TJ how to manipulate her, Andi was not involved in the set up, execution, or resolution of that conflict. Sure the mobile app texts made sure to have her find out about it from both Cyrus and Buffy but that doesn’t make up for her seemingly having no idea about it on the show itself. 

I know there’s a lot of wank going on right now about Andi keeping Cyrus from talking to TJ but in ep 7 itself it’s likely that Andi and Buffy are only involved in the angsty cafeteria scene and they largely have their own story lines afterwards and Cyrus’ avoidance is more due to him fearing that TJ hates him. Disney may be more okay with guns than gays but they won’t want too much of a focus on either. And realistically Andi just has too much going on to be heavily involved in Cyrus’ C plot, even if she still hates TJ by the end of ep 7, she’ll probably be okay with him again by the end of ep 8 as the show just can’t drag this story line out.

Cyrus’ sexuality is a big factor in why he’s much closer to Buffy than Andi. It makes sense in 2a that Cyrus would come out and confide in Buffy as he doesn’t want to come between Andi and Jonah. But after he comes out to Andi nothing actually changes and even on the mobile texts it’s like Andi has no clue that Cyrus is gay and had a crush on Jonah. The implication of Andi’s actions in 2b is that Cyrus’ crush on Jonah was never a threat to her because Jonah is straight, which is true, but makes her look callous and makes Cyrus’ feelings look like they’re not important. Cyrus’ sexuality also limits the kind of solo scenes he can have with Andi which also has the effect of making Andi closer with Buffy than she is with Cyrus; their current conflict notwithstanding. 

As an example, there was a clear difference in how Andi talked about Marty with Buffy in a way she never talked to Cyrus about Jonah or likely will talk to Cyrus about TJ. In 2x02 Andi teased Buffy about her and Marty and even made use of their ships names and in 2x07 she point blank told Buffy that her and Marty would make a great couple and that Marty clearly had feelings for her and after Marty iced out Buffy she comforted her and in 2x23 it was Andi who talked about Marty and his new girlfriend with Buffy. Obviously the point of giving these scenes to Andi and Buffy was to draw a clear line between Cyrus and romantic relationships but it also deepens Andi and Buffy’s friendship as they are close enough to talk about boys and feelings while Andi and Cyrus are not. Unfortunately this is another of the show’s flaws that will never be fixed.
