the PARALLELS omg

We really gonna invalidate Olivia’s heritage again I see... so here’s some free education for y’all.

Olivia is HALF Filipina. Not 1/4. Stop that rumor. Her dad is FULL Filipino and her mom is white, therefore she’s 50% Asian 50% white.

[gabrieelllaa]

We love this representation! Also, she doesn’t deserve hate even if she was only 1/4. She’s STILL part Filipino 50% or 25%, and that’s what counts.

Concept: When Big Red and Ricky were in middle school, they went as Phineas and Ferb. Needless to say, Big Red was phineas and Ricky was ferb.

[protectbigred]

this is canon and you can’t tell me otherwise

ICONIC

on ej caswell

i’m compelled to point out that you don’t have to be ashamed of stanning ej. he’s a kid who grew from his mistakes - he understood that he was manipulative of nini in an almost dangerous way and he apologized for it! he continues to make active changes to his behavior and i loVE TO SEE IT. it’s so important for kids to understand that toxicity and manipulative behaviour can be actively eradicated from your personality or personal tendencies if you put in the work - and ej is/has been putting in the work. he’s a teenager who’s LEARNT that he was being a red flag boyfriend, he has REFLECTED and APOLOGIZED. 

he’s a that’s teenager growing and learning - cancel culture shouldn’t exist for him bc he’s actually GROWING and that’s what we want!! ej happy and healthy and wholesome is what we want. stan ej - he’s wholesome and pretty and some of the best comedy in the hsmtmts eps right now. and he clearly has more depth that will be explored if he’s in s2 (which i’m sure he will be).

Carlos stans, can we please address the sheer brutality of 22:47-23:27 in S1:E3 “The Wonderstudies” ????

Because Mr. Mazzara delivering that line to Carlos about “finding some friends under the age of 35” was so mean and hit me so hard that I just REALLY think we need to address Carlos’ life before the start of the musical because that boy just seems so freaking lonely in the beginning of season 1.

[atthemomentimintothis]

AND let’s also talk about the fact that in the episode prior, Carlos immediately assumed Ricky was going to “assault” him.

Why would he jump to that conclusion? Yeah, him and Ricky weren’t close yet, but they weren’t strangers.

How did people treat Carlos before the start of the musical? Why does he assume Ricky will attack him? Was he really badly bullied?

AND the Glee comment! What about that Glee comment?? Even by episode 7 he was assuming they’d all judge him.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

[juiseed]

not to mention that moment episode 6 when he mentions how Ms. Jenn gave him a shot and he says “it’s been a long time since someone gave me a shot.” like damn, Carlos must’ve been bullied so much before the show started and it needs to be unpacked 

[cuntdallroy]

THIS 👏 NEEDS 👏 TO 👏 BE 👏 TALKED 👏 ABOUT

[protectbigred]

plus in episode 8 he tells ej that he has “no business taking control over anything” and he thought that ej was going to say that him doing so was “stupid.”

we cannot let tim feldjskshdjs get away with not giving us his backstory!!!

Bit drunk but I feel that Andi Mack should not have been forgotten as quickly as it has been like,, a show where the protagonist is an Asian teen girl, storylines about learning difficulties and dealing with parents in the military, openly gay kids and an actual deaf character... all on Disney channel? Groundbreaking. And just pushed to the side immediately.

[klausalvatores]

I still see people trying to compare Andi Mack and HSMTMTS and yes, by saying Andi Mack has better rep than HSMTMTS is comparing the two shows.

I won’t deny that Andi Mack does indeed focus heavily more on the rep, like there was a whole ass coming out/gay relationship, several anxiety, learning disability, military, and cultural storylines, etc but as I’ve stated in my other posts regarding this topic, even tho HSMTMTS does feature some poc/gay rep, the show is not focused on that... like if you look under the category on disney+ it says ‘romance, drama, comedy, music’. That is what HSMTMTS is about. And as we’ve seen, they focus heavily on romance and music, so it’s not fair to compare the two because it’s just impossible.

If you’re looking for a show that centers heavily on rep, I’m sorry to tell you but HSMTMTS is not the show for you. Their rep is more subtle (like they’ll mention Nini’s heritage here and there while the gay rep is subtle... like it’s natural and not made a big deal because in-universe it’s all normalized)

I’m glad that Disney didn’t pit these two wonderful characters against each other just because they’re in a love triangle. Also, their friendship development is absolutely EVERYTHING 🙌🏽

The most unrealistic part of the season finale was that the dean of the performing arts school in Denver didn’t immediately go and try to recruit Seb after his iconic Sharpay performance

And I don’t really know what happens tomorrow, or in two minutes when we walk out that door. All I know is… I want this feeling to keep going. Because this whole experience… I’m just– I’m not ready for it to be over. For us to be, I mean. And if that means doing another musical, then fine. I get to pick the musical. Fine. That’s fine. It’s all fine. I just– I don’t want this to be just a showmance. Really. I want it to be the real thing. I mean, I think it is the real thing, I just… I want a chance to prove it. I do.

I LOVE YOU. I'VE LOVED YOU SINCE THE FIRST TIME YOU PICKED UP YOUR UKELELE AND YOU WROTE A SONG, A SILLY LITTLE SONG ABOUT CLOUDS. I LOVE YOU. AND THAT NIGHT IN YOUR ROOM, WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME, I MEANT TO SAY IT AND I'VE KICKED MYSELF EVERY DAY SINCE THEN BECAUSE I DIDN'T SAY IT, BUT I DO. I LOVE YOU. I'VE LOVED YOU SINCE SEVENTH GRADE WHEN I MADE YOU RIDE IN THE FRONT ROW OF DEMON'S DESTINY AT SIX FLAGS, AND YOU TOLD ME YOU GET A LITTLE SEASICK ON ROLLER COASTERS, AND I SAID, 'COME ON, LIVE A LITTLE.' YEAH? AND THEN I PUKED ALL OVER YOUR SHOES AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN MAKE ME FEEL BAD ABOUT IT, NO YOU JUST SAID, UM- ‘no worries, i've been wanting to get rid of these shoes for a while.' YEAH, BECAUSE YOU OUTGREW THEM. THE THING IS, I NEVER OUTGREW YOU. AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, OR IN TWO MINUTES WHEN WE WALK OUT THAT DOOR, ALL I KNOW IS I WANT THIS FEELING TO KEEP GOING. BECAUSE THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE.. I'M JUST NOT READY FOR IT TO BE OVER. FOR US TO BE, I MEAN. AND IF THAT MEANS DOING ANOTHER MUSICAL, THEN FINE.
