#hsmtmts watch through

[zaine-m]

Okay so I saw someone talking about how they were gonna rewatching the series to get ready for season 3 and I realized that there are 22 days until season 3 and 22 episodes. So I've decided to watch 1 episode a day and air my thoughts out on here because I can't contain all my hatred of Nini is my little body or else I would explode.

So if you hate Nini too, please come with me on this journey.

Next part

Season 1 ep 1 thoughts:

I never realized that it's Ricky and big Red who skate past Miss Jenn in the beginning

✨️✨️✨️Gina walking past the camera✨️✨️✨️

Why is Kourtney all like "you know who"? what does she have against Ricky?

Okay so Nini understood it was a pause, then why did she not actually break up with him before she started dating EJ. I swear this girls acts like she can do no wrong

Then she gets mad at him for wanting clarification on that she GOT ANOTHER BOYFRIEND when they were on a break

And then she's like well of course I got another boyfriend, you didn't tell me you loved me back and it's not like you have issues about telling people you love them that I as one of the main people you confided in should know about and it's not like I at all put you in an uncomfortable position by posting a video on Instagram where everyone can see instead of telling you in person especially since it's the first time

I'm starting to remember why I hate Nini so much. They're meant to be childhood bestfriends but she so clearly doesn't care about him at all

Nini you have to break up with your ex before you get another boyfriend

How about Kourtney you start with dismantling the sassy black friend trope

Gina watching everything unfold in the background❤️❤️❤️

Nini why don't you just keep everyone on the same page as shit goes down

Ashlyn and Seb are sitting next to each other in the gym

Why are they not having the back to school announcements in the auditorium?

I love how you can see all the recurring characters in the background before they get introduced

"Triggered as a millennial" 😮‍💨 I'm also remembering why I hate Miss Jenn

Also does Ricky not know what a millennial is, he says that Okay boomer joke later

Other than yeah the lead is fun, why does Nini want to be Gabriella so much

Mr.Mazzara is the best

Again Nini is supposed to be this super insecure, "I could never be the lead girl" but she has a friend who's only purpose is to cheer her on and a popular jock boyfriend who constantly reminds her how great she is

And then we never see the water polo boys again

She was crushed but then she also immediately got a boyfriend, and maybe the reason he wanted a break was because she never cared about his feelings. I'm sorry I just can't feel bad for you

Also Nini not seeing how lucky she is to have a friend who really only supports her and doesn't seem to want anything back

You know one day Ricky, you could be the one dating EJ Caswell

NINI IS THE MAIN PERSON HE GOES TO FOR ADVICE BUT SHE DIDN’T EVEN FUCKING CARE ABOUT HOW TELLING HIM SHE LOVED HIM OVER SOCIAL MEDIA MIGHT MAKE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE OF HIS HOME ISSUES. Why are we supposed to root for her

This is the thing, the only part of Nini's life that is not the best a teenager could possibly get is that she doesn't get lead roles. And we never get any reason for it. Maybe it was a her growing into her voice kinda thing

This show doesn't understand "show don't tell" we're told that she feels like she doesn't deserve to be heard but then we constantly see people supporting her and posting nice comments on her Instagram and saying how amazing she is. Just give us anything that this insecurity could come from

Also that's reading into the dream way too much, she just worried to screw up what she wants the most

The cut from Nini's happy, supportive family to Ricky’s dad just trying to do his best 🥲

Noooo someone give Ricky a hug

Wait did Nini seriously post a photo basically saying she's gonna get the lead. You can't say she's insecure then make her do that. I would get EJ doing that but if you look it's Nini's Insta

Sure Big Red, that's why you know so much about HSM. It's definitely not because you started hyperfixating on it but you refused to actually watch it because you didn't want to give into the hyperfixation and you were worried people would laugh at you for talking about it because it wasn't the stuff you normally watched so instead you slowly google the plot of it on incognito tabs until you finally give in and obsess over it for the next year

I love how Ricky impulsively decided to do the musical and now he can't be stopped

How does this school have so many computers

Also Mr. Mazzara calling all the students by their last names

Kourtney is literally doing Nini's makeup with EJ tells her how amazing she is. This girl literally has everything, why do they try to present her as the underdog

✨️✨️✨️Gina's dancing✨️✨️✨️

Also Gina's outfit, her hair, the way she looks at Carlos like "Yeah you want me as the lead"

I miss this Gina

Why are we supposed to hate her for being like "I've never been an understudy" when Nini went and posted that her and EJ are going to be the leads on Insta. Like at least Gina was stating a solid fact instead of just being overly cocky

The way that she holder her head uo and her winged eyeliner

Why does Ricky have a CD. Also I love the Ricky and Mr. Mazzara dynamic but we may never see them together again 😢

"I'm dying. I'm deceased. Yes" what the fuck did they think they were doing with this.

Also what was Ashlyns outfit. She had such a glow up between the first and 3rd season

Gina putting the WORK in

Why is she even telling them what part she wants them to play. I guess some students would want to know what they have the best shot at but it just seems like it's going to make students feel like they can't do the part they actually want to do. Is that a thing that they actually do in high school musicals? Why can't they just say the part they want to audition for

What is on the walls of this school? "Free hair cut", a sign pointing the opposite way Ricky is going saying that's where the auditorium is

Someone give Gina a hug and tell her that she's amazing no matter what

Then Nini's British accent thing was never brought up again

How did she not understand that "temporary pause" meant they aren't broken up

Aww, Ricky’s mom being away again

And she can't even fucking stick to instructions

Why the fuck is Ricky spilling his Family issues out to everyone who's auditioning to be in a musical

Big Red giving Ricky his guitar

Carlos looking at Ricky like wtf is he doing is season 1 to Carlos helping Ricky figure out he's be in season 3

Nini, you don't get to be mad at Ricky for not telling you he loved you back when you knowingly pit him in an awkward situation or for him wanting to take a pause because it would be hard to try to keep your relationship up when your away when he's probably really fucking tired of trying to keep his relationship with him mom up from away which you should know if you ever cared about him

Also "confusing things" he was sharing his side of the story. Which you would have already known if you ever payed attention when he talked to you about his issues which we know he did

I don't like her

NINI ISN'T A FUCKING UNDERDOG MISS JENN. IF ANYTHING GINA'S THE UNDERDOG, SHE'S AT A NEW SCHOOL, DOESN'T KNOW ANYONE, AND HAS A PRETTY SHITTY HOME LIFE COMPARED TO "HAS IT ALL" NINI

God I fucking hate all Time Fedrle

Gina I'm sorry baby, you deserved it. Maybe you're really made more for a dancing role but I guess HSM doesn't have many dancers

But she still congratulates Nini like a boss. I could never and that's why I look up to her like a god

"Chad, she thinks I'm a chad"

Wait was Chad not a different role you had to audition for. What was the point of her separating them if she's just going to give Chad to a Troy. (wait is there an actual reason for her doing this?)

I love how Big Red just stands there shocked like what happened?

Seb being happy about Sharpey in the background

The "shit" didn't used to be beeped did it?

Sometimes I wonder why this is my special interest if I hate the main character so much, but my brain works in mysterious ways.

[literallycarrie]

btw nothing in the high school musical 4 of the hsmtmts universe is actually canon to the high school musical series. the show is by disney and has the hsm branding slapped onto it, but the hsm 4 within hsmtmts is still a fictional movie within a fictional universe. troy and gabriella are not canonically in couples therapy no matter how many times a tiktoker says "i'm about to ruin your childhood!!" and shows the same popcrave tweet. ryan is still gay though that's not up for debate

#this is all /lh but i mean it. none of it is canon to me <3 #except ryan being gay but i swear kenny ortega confirmed that anyways #btw i don't actually know if popcrave tweeted abt it but you guys know what i mean #just people who haven't watched the show wanting clicks views and engagement through toxic nostalgia #anyway. #lova's terrible posts #hot takes from east high #hsmtmts #high school musical: the musical: the series #hsm the series #hsm #high school musical #hsm 4 #disney channel #dcom

[lilisouless]

I can’t believe I went from being okay with Seb to straight up hate him

#people treating him like he is so pure #is like the same problem I have with miss jenn #that the writing ignores the bad things about them and just prop them up through dialogue instead of words #lili watches hsmtmts

[dawningfairytale]

lowkey very proud of myself for exclusively coming out in conversations about tv and musicals

#heartstopper #hsmtmts #rtc #ride the cyclone #this true i first came out to some of my friends while we were watching heartstopper #nick nelson #big red #like i just told someone else through bi mischa #bullying someone into watching rtc AND coming out? #my kinda weekend #bi mischa #nischa #bc i am in fact a bi mischa truther #bisexual #not that representation = rights #but it does make it easier to tell people and segue them into it #especially if they’ve known you since you were 12 and probably didn’t think you’re queer #it provides opportunity to share parts of ourselves that can be harder to express than just dropping it into conversation #and yes i am awkward #but that’s why this Matters #queer #lgbtqia+ #lgbtq #lgbtq+

[yelenaswift]

theoretically, if i don’t watch the rest of the season, Ej caswells character will not be ruined by becoming the villain again

#i’m so on the fence rn #the lil bit of r na left in me wants to keep watching #but the portwell side of me is dying #ej in his villain era solid no #might just watch through social media #this is an ej caswell safe space #ej caswell #high school musical the musical the series #gina porter #ricky bowen #ashlyn caswell #val hsmtmts #kourtney greene #carlos rodriguez #high school musical the musical the series season 3 #hsmtmts season 3 #hsmtmts

[mazojo]

Hsmtmts somehow someway always finds the way to dissapoint me every season congrats see you in season 4

#when nobody got me I sure know hsmtmts got me the least that’s for sure!! #FuCk this series I want more of it tho #JAJAJAJAJA All /hj but like…… portwell huh…………….. devastated #i don’t want any rina haters fighting me I just am very sad and I loved ej and gina and they just squashed it for a rushed plot line imo #i am used to disappointments it’s fine ahaaa #havent even watched the ep but went through the tag #anti rina #hsmtmts #justice for ej my man really went THROUGH it this season

[ginaporterr]

might as well just kiss at this point idk

#i've watched this clip an unhealthy amount of times already i'm not gonna make it through a whole song #txt #hsmtmts spoilers

[learntfromamillionmistakes]

Watching HSMTMTS from the start for the first time since it's ended

Excited to watch them all grow again

#ricky x gina #hsmtmts #im going to fastforward through some scenes #no need to watch stuff i dont want to see

[art-donaldson]

i do not want to see anymore ej slander!!! hasn’t that boy suffered enough!!!!

#mars.txt #ej caswell #mars watches hsmtmts #his villain arc when!!! he deserves it after the bullshit he went through

[yellowlaboratory]

You ship Ricky and Gina too?! I have since season 1

aha yes!! i LOVE rina so much asdklfhlkasjdf I nearly broke both my legs leaping out of my chair when they kissed in the s3 finale. i remember the s1 -> s2 hiatus as a rina and thinking i was fully going insane when the creator would occasionally mention rina and now look where we are!!!

#hsmtmts #rina #i watched the first couple episodes on thanksgiving break of my senior year of college in the midst of a breakdown about my future #since then i've had a trauma bond with gina akldsjfhlkasjdfhlkasjdf #she's been with me through a lot #i have a wip for them that i desperately want to finish but the brain rot is too brain rotty right now #as soon as my brain is working again it's going to be finished

[laylakeating]

What happened to Gina's pink dancing shoes? Its been a long time since I rewatched season 2 but I don't think we ever saw them again did we?

i've gotta to be honest i completely blanked reading this 😭 so based on that i'm pretty sure we never saw them again !!

#i literally do not know what you're talking abt i'm so sorry #are we talking ballet shoes?? did gina EVER have ballet shoes?? #i've genuinely blocked half the show out it's so traumatic #still haven't watched 109 and 110 all the way through bc the secondhand embarrassment is too much #sorry i couldn't be more helpful btw !! #asked and answered #anonymous #hsmtmts

[zaine-m]

July 12th - Still behind but hoping to catch up today. We're on "What team?" then ta catch up I also have to watch "Thanksgiving". Tomorrow with "The Tech rehearsal" we won't get any Gina which sucks but we'll survive.

Previous -- next

Season 1 Episode 6: "What Team?" thoughts under the cut:

Okay so this episode is starting the Monday after Homecoming, which was Friday

Everyone is working together and is having fun, finally

Why do they have big red do all the miscellaneous stuff

Seb's little pink streak of hair 🥰

How tf did Gina turn her personality around so quickly

And just because of a guy, where did the don't change yourself for a guy message go?

Yes Nini feel that pain, Ricky has girls other than you in his life, you can't just drop him and pick him up as you see fit. Honestly I just like seeing her in pain

Why did Gina jump so early, her and that Ryan guy

Gina's "I figured", this girl takes responsibility for her actions

Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like there was a deleted scene where a lot went down because Ricky told her like once that she was too ambitious and that's what caused all this change. Has no one ever called her out before? Was her entire confidence act really all that weak?

"It's was more like I felt like I had to get it" "That's the same thing"

It's hard to take them seriously when they're wearing the most brightly coloured outfits ever

"little too literal for my taste" she's such a english teacher (derogatory)

We never see the principle in season 2 do we?

Kourtney switched so fucking quickly like before she was stealing Gina's stuff because her friend had a hunch Gina stole her phone and now they're being all friendly. I guess if Nini told Kourtney what Gina said and Gina didn't know about Kourtney's part in it it doesn't matter that much but still, like Kourtney used to hate Gina

Carlos putting his acting skills to work

Nini, Carlos is already soo stressed about this, why are you making his life harder with all your questions?

"This is not a democracy"😂

Nini pushing Carlos to his limits then being like "are you okay? it's not that deep" like, you're the issue

Seb's little "You know you could've told me"

Ricky just hanging onto "the show will still go on" for sake of his dying mental health then Gina just being like, "wtf, you can hold onto to stuff, even when it's unlikely, not just run away at any sign things could fall apart, seems fake but okay"

Gina's making friends!!!! And they're close!!!!

"Has it occurred to you that Miss Jenn is responsible for her own untimely demise" This is why Mr. Mazzara is my favourite character

Ej being this unstoppable force of making bad decisions and Ashlyn trying her best to stop him

HE'S GROWING AS A PERSON. CHARACTER DEVLOPMENT. I'm so proud of my little asshole baby, he's doing the right thing on his own

"I've messed up. More than you know" He's so responsible

"The audience doesn't know what they're missing" And he still uplifts her after everything that happened where she was a pretty shitting girlfriend to him

This is peak EJ. He will never get better than in this scene

His little stop when he's checking to see if he has anything else to apologize for

We better get a billion sorrys 2.0 in season 3

Nini's suffering when she sees Rina😍😍😍😍

Why tf did you think you would be able to stroll back into Ricky's life after how you left him. Because of his fear of abandonment and change that makes him willing o do anything to get things back to the way they used to be? Oh, yeah, okay, fair

How many teachers does this school have? would none of them be willing to help the students finish the musical?

Big Red made friends outside of Ricky!!!!

Ashlyn inviting a ton of people to Big Red's house

Please tell me I'm not the only one who doesn't miss Natalie Bagley. Her sass is kind of funny at first but then it just gets annoying

Gina says that like she has a lot of skeletons in her closet

Again Nini with this voice thing. Show me one fucking scene where no one listens to her, where everyone ignores or invalidates what she's saying. Any decent writer would add a scene like that to make this actually be a believable issues

Unless what Nini means by being heard is to have her voice be scene as the only important one and it's just so fucking shitty for anyone to have that

Okay but Ashlyn, I don't think your parents would be as relaxed about a teacher lying about their sketchy past

So mike and Miss Jenn find out that they're both connected to Ricky. This seems so early in their relationship that they could just break it off now

This entire show acts like theater is this very hated community which I never saw at my school. Idk is it an American thing?

Are you allowed to fire people sp publicly, like that seems like humiliating people in the workplace. Is this a thing that actually happens?

Also those seem like pretty good reasons to fire her

The way Ricky looks at his dad when he stands up

Seb says "she's the one who cheers us on" but then she's always just saying "no seb"

Where is Nini's other mom???

The hugging scenes are always so fun because you can just see them randomly hugging eachother in the background. Like Ashlyn and Ricky, EJ and seb, Carlos and Nini

Yessss, more of Nini in pain!!!!

Ricky's look when he realises they're flirting

#hsmtmts watch through #hsmtmts season 1 #hsmtmts

[youremyonlyhope]

I hate that High School Musical: The Musical: The Series made me cry at its finale. I was good up until everyone joined in to sing Ricky's song.

Wait.

Spoke too soon. Wrote that sentence during the credits. There's an after credits scene.

....

NO. NOOOOOOO. You made me cry after 2 notes. Literally sob screaming "NOO. NOOOO." at the screen because how COULD they do that to me.

Ok I am not ok. That last part was not necessary. Not remotely necessary. I was good. I was ok. I had calmed down. Sure I had cried earlier, but I was done. I was still emotional but I was like "Oh what a cute show that was better than it had any right to be." and they THROW THAT AFTER CREDITS SCENE AT ME JUST TO MAKE ME KEEP CRYING.

#hsmtmts #hsmtsts spoilers #i was originally gonna make this about how i was amazed the show managed to make me feel all the same feelings #i felt when watching hsm3 for the first time and how even hsm3 didn't make me cry #ahhhh #this is not the first time i cried at this show. i cried during frozen when the phone spotlight happened. #that time honestly caught me completely by surprise i was NOT thinking i'd cry at all #at least this time i knew just from the hsm3 deja vu i'd probably cry #didn't think i'd cry when i did. i made it through Gina's speeches. i only cried at the song. #and then that STUPID AFTER CREDITS SCENE JUST TO HURT ME EVEN MORE

[lilisouless]

“I wish there was more people like you in the world”

Oh please no!

#yeah this is becoming a constant miss jenn slander #i just hate the series pretending she was always a sweet woman #when mr manzzara is right she was trying to live through them #lili watches hsmtmts #hsmtmts

[qveenpoppy]

agt catch-up time... hooray?

#i'm doing my nails while i watch so i'll probably be pretty quiet lol #but i am finally watching (i got home yesterday) #i will probably take a break for hsmtmts before going into results (if i watch them tonight) #though i did see spoilers so it shouldn't take long for me to get through results lol #agt

[i23kazu]

♡ YOU AND I'VE BECOME A SACRED KIND OF HOME

characters. xiao diluc kaeya childe wriothesley alhaitham x gn!reader genre. romantic fluff. an. sometimes, settling into loving each other just needs to happen. title is from HSMTMTS " love you forever "! | please reblog!! im getting back into writing and reblogs with tags and comments will make me want to write more :D

xiao

his love is... strange. it's sweet in his own way. when he starts loving you, you actually don't realise it. they're never big gestures that start waving heart flags in your face with a plane that spells a contrail – i love (y/n)! no, his love is subtle and his love is sweet. watch as his hands start to inch closer towards yours, until his whole hand is on top of yours. look up once more, glance at him sweetly, and look at how he's he's blushing turned away from you.

diluc

his love... oh, it's just filled with goodness. his world is so much more colourful, so much more filled with light – your light. kiss him gently on the forehead as he drifts off to sleep, and watch his face loosen, whatever tension from the day just melting away from a second of your touch. there's a familiar spark in his eyes, one that his brother recognises.

kaeya

his love... may be hard to understand, at first. after all, this is a man who had been loved so hard and so fiercely – until that one fateful day, where it was snatched from his grip. it is hard for him to trust and love with the same vigour that he used to. please be patient with him, because when the ice cracks, and his warmth shines below, it will all be worth it.

childe

his love is sweet, but soon turns.. sour? some days, when you're alone and wishing for his presence, it feels like someone had ripped off the rose-coloured glasses from you. the bed is a little colder and there's always a mug unwashed on the rack, and every thing seems to remind you of his lack of presence. don't worry too much, darling, because your chest will feel warm and whole again once you hear the doorknob click open.

wriothesley

his love is unfamiliar – unlike anyone's you've ever seen. it's shiny and hard but also pillowy and soft and it's a mishmash of sounds, tastes, textures, colours, patterns – it's confusing. wriothesley is confusing. but that doesn't mean that he wants it to be that way, though – loving someone everyday isn't a feeling, but rather a choice. it's a choice that you both make. when you fit like pieces of a puzzle together, that's when the moment of clarity comes through – that he loves you.

alhaitham

his love is hard. it's metallic and unpleasant at first, a hard clash of what you think love is, versus what he thinks love is. no, he's not unromantic – he just prefers to show his love to you in a more practical way, and sometimes that practical way doesn't get translated properly to your head-in-the-clouds self. getting annoyed when you pay for things starts to look like him wanting you to sit down and let him treat you – so, start looking at things from his perspective, and you'll soon see that there's more than meets the eye for this scholar.
