i would like to point out to the rinis that claim if nini (no hate to liv) was still there ricky would’ve ended up with her, and that he settled for gina. are we watching the same show??? the boy who feared change of course is going to go back to what is familiar to him. i’m not minimizing his love for nini. cause of course he loved her that was his first love.
but as soon as gina stepped into his life that didn’t matter. his feelings for gina have ALWAYS been there but when gina was going to move he pushed them down and ignored them. he resorted back to his old habits. him getting back with nini was him settling. he wanted something to remain the same and nini was his one constant. so the argument that he settled for gina is null and void.
in season 2 we see how incompatible rini is as a couple. we see how ricky is not his best self while with her and how nini feels suffocated by him. when nini doesn’t fit the narrative of being the same and has all these new opportunities her way, ricky gets upset. ricky isn’t truly supportive. the most selfless thing ricky ever did for nini was breakup with her.
in turn with gina he’s loving her selflessly. he wants her happy. in season 3 where we watch ricky come to terms and accept change and his feelings for gina, instead of trying to sabotage portwell he’s supportive. helping her set up a promposal, not accepting gina’s invite to dance after she’s rejected by ej, not jumping at the opportunity to tell her how he feels when portwell breaks up, apologizing after wdykal because he felt his feelings were too obvious and overwhelming, hell even at the premier his biggest priority was making sure they could stop the trailer because he knew it made gina look bad. he’s always been supportive of gina. made her a priority. gina always understood ricky. made him feel wanted. the fact of the matter is season 1 rina was not ready for one another. they both needed to grow. but they were inevitable. rini and portwell were both of them settling.

Hey :) q for season 4: why do you think Ricky seems unhappy about HSM4 but also auditions and stars as an extra?
i've had soooo many thoughts about this so thank you for giving me the space to blather on about this. ricky is in a fascinating place at the beginning of season 4. from the beginning of the show, he's established as someone who shies away from change. by the time season 4 rolls around, he's starting senior year! his final year of high school. i think he's generally struggling with this monumental change, especially given that in s2, it's revealed that, after taking a career aptitude test, he has no "profitable skills." he's also in a relationship with gina and that's new and exciting. tim's interviews highlight that the host of characters will be dealing with the fallout from the documentary release, which has definitely started to impact them already. adding the filming of a movie on top of that and being in the hsm3 musical definitely adds stress and severely limits the time he can spend with gina. i think that's exactly why he auditions. you can see in the widescreen version of the trailer that ricky is stumbling around during the dance part of auditions behind gina for the movie. paired with his lack of enthusiasm at the announcement, it's clear that this movie was not in his plans. however, he loves gina and I'm sure part of his motivation for auditioning comes with being with her. that gina appears to have a larger role in the movie than others will likely be some sort of conflict for the couple and I'm excited to see how they work through it!

“Gina giving the speech was unrealistic.” “Ricky still doesn’t love Gina as much as she loves him.”
Walk with me.
Gina SAYING how she feels explicitly after all they’ve been through (Gina moving then coming back, Rini getting back together, her ‘confession’ in season 1, Ricky being blinded by his fear of change to see how he’s UNINTENTIONALLY hurting Gina, Rina drifting apart after 2x05, Portwell getting together and Rina’s reconciliation in S3) proves that she gets him. Ricky has always needed people to use words to show how they feel about him because HE never has the words. His love language is words of affirmation and a bit of quality time, he prefers to receive love in those ways and he gives his in quality time and acts of service.
He had to HEAR that after all they went through, Gina still loved him and she knew that. Because they get each other. Remember she’s the one who vocalized how he felt about his mother and Todd in season one episode seven: “just when you get used to things changing, they change again. Am I close?” “…maybe”
Gina not getting the big speech doesn’t mean Ricky’s feelings aren’t as strong, it means he understands her because Gina might have always heard pretty words (from her mother, her brother, EJ this summer) but no one has STOOD BY HER. No one has shown up and stayed for her until Ricky. EJ showed up when things were easy (before he graduated and had to face real life) but Ricky stayed throughout a pretty life changing time for both of them (her first summer camp, her first real friendships, her first basketball triumph, her first ‘big’ lead, his turning eighteen) he walked beside her through this and she knows it.
She knows Ricky loves her because while he barely showed up last season when they were both in turbulent times in their lives and had drifted apart, he’s now here, unmoving. She had to SEE him after all they went through and he knew she deserved someone by her side because remember in season one episode five: “I don’t do dates. Try moving five schools in seven years.” “And how’s that working out for you?”
She’s never had stability and he knows it. Gina’s love language is quality time and acts of service. And she gives her love with acts of service and words of affirmation. Ricky gave his all for this musical because it meant a lot to Gina, he helped her plan the surprise for Elton and he was by her side through the woman in the woods and colour war and defended her from Channing and even after Portwell’s break up, he was there and they were only apart after SHE left him in the coat check. Hell, HE went to find HER after she missed HIS birthday surprise.
She recognizes what he was saying all summer without using words and gave her love in the form of words of affirmation.
A trait they share is they NEED physical touch. Ricky and Gina relish in feeling the other person. They (playfully) hold hands, Ricky places her hand over his heart, they hug, they lean into one another when they stand next to each other as if to remind themselves and the other person that they are there.
The kiss was perfectly placed because all that needed to be said or shown over the summer had been. Gina placed all her cards on the table at the theater and Ricky had shown his all summer. They kissed to show the other that what they always had was always real.
Tumblr media
Gina deserves the big romantic moments and she will absolutely get them from Ricky but not only in words, but in gestures. In time together. In showing up and staying.
TL: DR: Rina works because they understand who the other is NOW. Gina SAYING how she feels is on parr with Ricky SHOWING how he feels.

Because…
Gina telling Ricky “but with you I feel so seen. And so understood and so known.” basically destroyed me. It hit me so hard. Like, that’s just beautiful. It’s better than any love confession. Because like, that’s ultimately all that you want. A lot of people can give you so many things but the feeling of being so utterly you, so at peace with a person. That’s priceless. And that’s what Gina deserves. The reason she felt in love with Ricky is because she could be herself instead of the made up versions she pretended to be. And you could see this season how herself she was.
And for Ricky to hear this words coming from her, someone that is constantly struggling with not knowing if what he gives or has is enough for people to want to stay (his mom, Nini…). Someone that is “always too late” (but never when it counts) it must have felt so validating. Ricky’s biggest quality is that when he loves, loves deeply and unashamedly. And that’s everything Gina needs from him. His unconditional love.
Also, give Sofia Wylie her flowers NOW.
