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.
just wanna take a second to appreciate dara renee and matt cornett for TWO incredibly accurate and raw depictions of anxiety this season.
dara displayed a beautiful performance of that paralyzing fear that completely kicks you down and stops you in your tracks. something that happens to me so often in big social spaces (just like what the climbing wall represented)
and matt! matt was just phenomenal at showing that underlying DREAD that comes with an anxiety of the inevitable. any time ej is in the background of a scene after his phone call you can just see how he’s never really comfortable, and just on edge the whole time. something i can REALLY relate to because that’s just my default state.
props to both of them for playing such a real feeling and problem so well and so carefully, beautiful performances from them <3
I wanted to create something that people could listen to when they're going through [a tough time], whether that be a mental battle, physical battle, an emotional battle. Just something to [reiterate] you're not done yet, you're still just beginning. Like, here you come, this is only the beginning of a new journey for you. Don't think that this is the end. I also have anxiety and I have panic attacks... and most times when you are in the midst of that, you cannot see the other side
[This song is] one of the things that I've always wanted to hopefully create because it was really hard for me, especially in high school, going through that. So to know that other people could listen to something that I created and actually feel better is so important to me.

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?
The amount of crazy microassgresions Sofia or Gina have received from some publications are wild. Acting like she isn’t a talented woman on her own that has been working on successful Disney shows for years, had a #1 Netflix movie and acted with the likes of Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron. Owns her own production company. Her acting abilities have constantly raised the bar for this show each season and in this one she especially deserves her flowers.
A lot of Nini stans (that are often just Olivia stans that can’t separate actor from character) have also been engaged in crazy wild micro aggressions that gets passed around as “criticism” for the show and the insinuation is that Sofia isn’t capable of being leading lady.
And not just disrespect to Sofia as a whole but the cast that is incredible vital and excellent in what they do. Trying to downplay the likes of Julia Lester who’s a whole Tony nominated actress/performer. And just overall the vocals of people such as Dara Reneé, Joshua, Adrian, Frankie Rodriguez, and the list goes on. Trying to claim the “new characters” are not like the others when said characters brought a lot more representation to the table not just as Asian/Black characters but finally a canon sapphic character with a full blown romance with one of the mains. A lot of you are incredible nasty in the name of “nostalgia” that you don’t even realize how silly and weird you all sound.
