Before my world was safe and grey, But then she turned up all the colours in my day And for a while it really seemed Like I could be the person I have always dreamed. You saw something in me Something I have never seen.
You ever just, ya know, miss Rise? Cause I do. I do a lot.
I’m not bitter that I’ll never see Jeremy and Simon again. Or Robbie and Lillette. Or Maashous. Or Michael. Or any of them.
Totally not bitter to forever be left hanging with so many unfinished plot points that will remain unfinished.
I’m just gonna...go cry in a corner now...
rise characters vs spring awakening characters
“There’s a moment you know…”
or the best montage rise television has blessed us with so far
Fade me away, I won’t ever be the same
Stanton Drama curtain call; Rise (2018)
hey does anyone have understudies downloaded or smth
you cant get to rise from the nbc website and they deleted all their youtube videos :(
You know how this looks right?
You know how canceling Rise looks on NBC, right?
Robbie and Lilette are two people of color and their relationship was interracial. They were the one healthy couple that knew how to communicate. There are kids out there with single parents and have to work along with their parent to make rent like Lilette. There are kids balancing sports and theater like Robbie.
Simon is a gay kid growing up in a catholic home. There are so many kids going through what Simon is going through. I myself am going through a very less extreme version of it. My friend went through the same thing. Jeremy is there for the ride, pushing him and helping him with his self discovery. These two characters are what young LGBT kids need!
And don’t get me started on the disrespect at Michael. This is the first trans character I have seen in a TV show, ever. He is played by a non binary actor, and the amount of disrespect this just aimed at the LGBT community is to much. Michael, for many, is the character they can relate to, because there is not many shows with such diverse representation. There are not many shows with trans representation.
There are many girls in high school going through what Sasha is, but without support. Sasha’s plot is important because there are girls in high school who are pregnant and not getting support. Sasha’s plot can help them maybe reach out to a trusted adult like Sasha did with Tracey.
The representation from the Philippines with Francis.
There is so much representation in this show it is a goddamn crime to cancel it.
I fucking hope this makes NBC look so shitty. They canceled Rise, then picked up Brooklyn 99 a day after it got canceled. They say it’s the ratings, as to why Rise couldn’t go on. AP Bio got half of what Rise got weekly and that got renewed.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
