It kind of just occurred to me how much the queer community is winning this summer. We had Nimona. We had Barbie (ace Barbie, Allan, just queer vibes all around). We had Good Omens season 2. We had Heartstopper season 2. We're getting High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season 4 and Red White and Royal Blue two days apart from each other. We even have The Witcher finally delivering with Jaskier (or at least it did in the first part, haven't watched part 2 yet).
I don't know where I was going with this. I'm just happy about it.
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?
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.

"One of the wonderful things about being a producing/director on a series is that you get to tell a story over time. In the image above (season 2) the steadycam move caught Ricky in the doorway for a fraction of a moment as Gina in the foreground sheds a tear for him. In the image below (season 4) Ricky and Gina, now dance together in the same angle and framing. As a director, I really like book ends and used blocking as a way of calling back to moments without directly referencing them." - Kimberly McCullough (director of 2x06, "Yes, And," and 4x03, "A Star is Reborn")
