Heath: I don’t think we can mansplain, manipulate, or malewife our way out of it this time.

Izzy: *cracks knuckles* Manslaughter it is!

izzy would totally collect vintage pride pins and share them with their friends

my thoughts on the next step 9a

clude leaving is so bittersweet... i'm so sad we've lost such a sweet couple and great wlw representation but they left happy and stronger than ever!!!!!!!

the colour symbolism with kenzie's signature colour going from yellow from to blue is a subtle but effective character choice imo. the yellow in s8 felt more youthful joyful and vibrant for when she was new to being dance captain, whereas now kenzie's blue wardrobe in s9 shows that she's maturing and gaining wisdom as dance captain, but is also going through some tough times too. blue is also tns' signature colour so it also shows that she's an important part of the studio!!!

i love heath in this season... his energy, his attitude, his relationships, carter's acting, everything 💯

grace's reasoning for wanting revenge is so silly because she legit made herself an outcast and when kenzie tried to talk with her she just dipped

i'm still upset and bitter and frustrated with daisy leaving........ i just hate seeing great potential dropped like that. melody was such a good addition to the cast!! also where was her goodbye scene with izzy???????? she wasn't just close with heath; she was close to izzy too!!!!!!

my heart broke for pete multiple times and i'm glad that we had a storyline tackling grief and (briefly) men's mental health. i wish it had more of a focus and lasted for longer but it was still effective.

thalia and eldon are still together!!!!!!!! yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

JACQUIE MENTION YESSSSSSSSSS I'VE WAITED FOR TIMES LIKE THIS

kenzie basically being both the dance captain and studio head by herself because what does nick even do retroactively makes riley look even worse at being studio head.......... yeah season 4's treatment of riley is still annoying me in the year 2024

idk if it's just me but does anyone else feel like it's not internationals???? the vibe feels much more like regionals or nationals. the scale doesn't quite feel grand enough

i wasn't sure that heath was "the heart of the team" but after watching all of 9a, not only is he the heart of the team he's also the team therapist and cheerleader... i love to see it

i love that anthony is still a ball of stress/anxiety and is also in a really important leader position as group choreographer. so often you see anxious people just depicted as introverts and not as leaders, so it's nice to see someone who's anxious but also a very capable leader

olive is the definition of a precious cinnamon roll. she's sounds like a disney princess every time she talks. she reminds me of amy in s4 too!! she really is just the 🥺 emoji

random point but i love that adele's signature colour being emerald green. it reminds me of ariel's tail in the little mermaid and now i'm thinking of an au where adele is ariel and anthony is prince eric

i know i'm probably in the minority here but i am totally on board with anthony x adele (should their ship name be anthele/adelthony/adelony??). anthony really had one conversation with her alone and just fell for her instantly. some fans probably think it's dumb and realistic but i think it's really sweet and they have potential for 9b

i do also lowkey ship adele x olive because they're so cute together (and they remind me of pamy a little.) when adele didn't want to work with ariana but was unable to resist olive's puppy dog eyes...... they're so cute!!!

kenzie and pete are really just the sweetest couple ever and they have such a natural, easy chemistry... they're definitely one of the best couples tns has had in years 😘👌

IS HEATH'S DAD DEAD???????????????

ethan showing character development by being much more of a team player, we love to see it!!! he's still competitive but he's ready to share his ambitions with others

kenzie holding hands with heath was such a sweet, underrated moment... i love seeing strong, supportive and affectionate platonic male/female relationships

ebby naming her pet snail snaiyoncé is iconic

izzy calling heath "heathcliff" and heath calling izzy "isadora"....... the best friendism of it all

eldon mentioning west's iconic bangers and mash solo!!!!!! yes, thank you!!!!!! west is one of the most iconic dancers this show has ever had!!!!!!!!!

kenzie is allergic to flowers, noted!

heath is penzie's no. 1 shipper

ariana putting jett front row centre in her trio........ i know what you are................

ethan's loyalty to izzy is so sweet

WHO IS GETTING CUT??????????????

grace is definitely turning on ariana in 9b... i have a feeling she's going to out her as a traitor and a troupe might kick her off the team for a few episodes

remi is totally going to break ebby's heart, isn't he???

i have a feeling that presley might return to talk to her sister and say something like "chill ariana i'm fine living life and there was no need for getting revenge"

is ethan getting a boyfriend in 9b??????

can't wait for chekhov's bo staff to make its grand return in 9b

also how many enemies to lovers / rivals to lovers style relationships is heath going to have???? ozzy, daisy, pascale....... heath is immune to not having some sort of conflict in his relationships

this is a long shot but i'm really hoping to see more previous cast members returning. yeah i know it's not necessary, but i still want to know what our old faves all doing with their lives

given season 9's marketing has been pretty terrible it really does make me doubt that there will be a season 10. i would like a last series to tie the whole show together and maybe have a few reunions so the show has a great send-off, but feels unlikely now that they really dropped the ball when promoting this series

bring on 9b!!!!!!!!!

this is really jumbled and i've probably missed out so many things but i'm very unorganised so there you go

decided to do some drawings of the TNS characters swapping outfits, first with Ozzy and Izzy

(I drew Izzy first and realised using colouring pencils isn’t the best option with the paper I have, so that’s why theirs is a bit lower quality)

After finally finishing writing The Comeback, my brain keeps latching onto the idea of a Beauty and the Beast Heascale AU:

- Pascale being part of a foster home run by Maria, who only does so for the money. But when Maria stumbles across Heath’s castle, she attempts to rob it, and is caught. In order to not stay his prisoner, she offers Pascale up instead.

- Rather than being the typical beast like in the original, Heath would be more like a harpy. (In reference to his Internationals costume.)

- He got this curse from some of his old friends when he turned against them due to how they let royalty and power get to their heads. Despite the fact his other friends, even Ozzy’s sibling, did nothing to them, they were also caught up in it.

- Izzy and Anthony being like Lumiere and Cogworth, Along with Jett being Mrs. Potts, who looks after Bobby (Chip), her little brother, instead of her son.

- Heath doesn’t see Pascale as a way to lift the curse. Really he’d rather she isn’t there. But someone had to pay for Maria’s crimes. And yet, he can’t help falling for her as it goes on.

- Him having that massive library as he is an avid reader in this universe too, and finds out Pascale is as-well. This brings them closer together.

- Remy (Gaston) being a thorn in her side and sets out to fight Heath when Maria comes back talking about all he “did” to her. Gui is by his side.

- Gui would eventually have enough of him and help Heath’s group in the fight against the villagers when they eventually learn Maria was true. And a small moment would happen between him and Ethan when he sees Ethan in his human form.

- Instead of Pascale heading back because she thought Maria was in danger, Heath would just set her free on his own accord. She isn’t certain she wants to go and does it reluctantly.

- Heath’s face wasn’t covered much by his curse, so his transformation back wouldn’t he as drastic. But, his human form would live up much more to his Harpy form than Beast’s one did!

- (Small other thing you can imagine is that the power trio were all “taken care of” by Maria but did not want to help in the fight. After it, they, along with a few of the other villagers, are welcomed to the castle and that’s when Ariana would meet Jett. Same with Adele and Anthony.)
