Fanfiction is a huge part of Tumblr- My question for you all is, have you read any fanfiction about your characters, or characters from other pieces of media?
It’s the way so many people dismiss HSMTMTS because is from Disney Plus and they associate it to being a kids show and not as deep as the other teen shows out there and it couldn’t be more untrue. The characters are better written and have a more reliable personality than most of the teen shows making the rounds right now that people believe is actual television. Not just the ships are better and are delivering more representation and buzz than Netflix or Amazon combined but the actors from this show are so insanely talented and know how to handle both emotional and comedic beats flawlessly. And the performances are clearing a lot of people from those shows. Put respect on their name.
I know I’ll be too emotional to say anything remotely normal about this show once the final season premieres but I just want to say that I will miss my little messy theater kids show.
When I started HSMTMTS like three years ago, I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. And it has become one of my favorites of all time. In this show, there’s a character for everyone. There’s always some story arc that you can always relate to. This show is cheesy but fun. It’s heartwarming and it will lift you up. The music is amazing. The characters are great and most importantly, they feel nuanced and human. This show has one of the most talented group of people I’ve seen in a while, not just musically but acting wise. It’s truly a gift.
Every character, from Gina, Ricky, Kourtney, Carlos, Ashlyn, etc are so important and it’s been a joy to see their arcs come into full circle. To see their growth as individuals and for the beautiful dynamics it build. For anyone that hasn’t seen this show I promise you it’s worth it.
And Rina is one of the best written ships ever and I won’t stop saying it in a million years because is true. That story arc was incredible.
Also, this whole journey wouldn’t have been as fun as it was without the group of people that were constantly sharing their theories and just making this fandom (especially Rina Nation) feel so alive and fun to experience with. I won’t stop being part of this fandom or supporting this cast on their journey and my asks are always open to continue experience it together.
