i love mike and his grandmotherās relationship. but honestly, grammy wouldāve been so disappointed after learning her grandson went to jail and then still committed crimes to become ālegitimateā
thinking about a timeline where coraās plan to get regina to marry the sheriff of nottingham actually worked. regina wouldāve def caught her mother and the sheriff under the sheets telenovela style
i donāt have many swanqueen headcanons but emma seems like the type of mom to constantly remind the whole family of internet dangers because she āworks with the policeā and make them download Life360
you can always count on ricky and ej to use a tense moment as an opportunity to tantalisingly lick their lips and stare belligerently into each otherās eyes.
one of my favourite things about caswen is how ej can read ricky like a book.
he knows within seconds of meeting him that heās not over nini simply by making eye contact.
he knows ricky is still falling for gina (and vice versa) the moment he interacts with him again at camp.
he knows that ricky wants his electric guitar just by hearing him talk about it (even though he was technically just saying anything to avoid the truth).
but he also knows that ricky wonāt confront the truth without being pushed. so he pushes him.
basically this whole ramble is me saying that my favourite caswen headcanon (itās a bit canon) is that ej sees through rickyās delightful charm [snark] right away.
BONUS: i love how bewildered elton looks here, as if he thinks itās ridiculous how richard doesnāt realise how goofy he sounds (and probably thinks richard is a little weird) and he looks like heās wondering whether or not ricky notices heās using humour as a distraction over the why are you here? question and the youāve only come here because you have feelings for me my girlfriend, why the fuck are you talking to me? and touching me? question
There is so much to unpack in this one shot, and I love it. (I mean I also hate it because this scene alone made me feel robbed by the end of the season but that's besides the point)
So first off, Matt's arms. I know we were all thinking it. Also his hair looks gorgeous here.
Second point, call me crazy, but EJ 100% just looked down, blushed, and readjusted his shirt with a slight smile. That man is crushing...
Third, Ricky got very physically affectionate in this scene, and we know he doesn't do that with just everyone. Plus, this one's more of a stretch given we can't actually see his eyes, but it looks to me like he stole a glance at EJ's bicep.
And combine all that with the fact it was followed up with:
