I am interested in hearing your take on this I’ve been thinking a lot about this since the trailer dropped . Something I’ve been analyzing is the relationship differences between Quinn/Mark vs Quinn/Logan. Quinn was always looking for more from Mark and he never could give it. When they start dating it her wanting to date him ( I don’t think he even knows her name) radio episode because he won’t kiss her. She is always looking for more intimacy. So she would get upset and he would like kinda give into her. Then they fell into this boring relationship. The moment he found what he actually wanted he left.
It was such a 180 to see her with Logan because it was like “oh I wanna kiss you all of the time.” There was this passion that a teenage relationship should have. She’s finally getting like a real high school relationship. Logan is finally seeing that knowing someone before just making out with them makes you want them more. Also looking back he’s the one making moves in the sense of him comforting her and he’s the one that said I love you first. He was choosing her and I think that was something she always wanted.
In the trailer we see that their relationship hasn’t dimmed he still wanting to touch her all the time and be close to her. He just seems so glad to have her and Quinn deserves that kind of treatment. I really hope they show the growth of the relationship and not just have them as the comic relief… I hope that they show that Logan just got carried away with the wedding because he wanted it to be perfect but when she runs away he realizes that he just needs to choose her and so they go back to their root and get married at PCA. Sorry this is super long I’ve just been obsessing over this.
Don't apologize, I love long rants about my ships.
Warning: I may be looking too much into a teen's show
I've been re-watching specifically Quinn and Mark's episodes as well as Quinn and Logan's, because I wanted to have a better understanding of both relationships. I hadn't seen all yet and been doing it more at random, so feel free to add more if you want.
Like you mentioned, Quinn and Mark's relationship started because she wanted it and the whole time he seemed quite uninterested on it/her. It's not that he was mean to her or a terrible boyfriend (save for the cheating, I'm side-eying you there, Mark), it's just that he just wasn't as into it and her as Quinn, I don't remember him telling her he loves her (like I said, I'm still rewatching, it might not have happened, or I must have missed it).
Let's see the differences between Logan and Mark when it comes to being Quinn's boyfriend.
Affection:
Mark:
Like you mentioned, in my rewatch I also noticed Mark didn't give her affection unless she requested it, it wasn't just the kiss, it's details like her holding his hand in the scene where she was directing towards the violinist and him dropping it as soon as he could. He just didn't seem interested in doing those things with Quinn.
He is seen holding Brooke's hand when Quinn catches them and he seemed happy to do so
Tumblr media
So it's not that he doesn't like affection, he just didn't seem to like giving it to Quinn.
Logan:
Logan, however, is as clingy as her (maybe a little more, even). He has no problem giving her what she wants without having to being asked for it. Their very first scene post kiss starts with him telling her she "has the prettiest eyes" and them sharing an eskimo kiss, both happy and giggling. After they decide to "stop" (not even they believed that lol) he ask her for one more eskimo kiss before they go.
Then, on their next scene they're kissing again, unable to stop. Something that catched my attention was when Quinn was trying to get him to tell her what was bothering him, she got it once she used the "no telling no kisses" threat, and Logan's face too! He was like "tfym no kisses :("
Like, it's amazing to me, they've been dating for seconds and she already knew her kisses had an effect on him, and he folded so easily as soon as she said that, like they both knew he did not want the make out sessions to stop. Her confidence about it is a point I'll bring later on.
He's also the one requesting kisses, whenever they finished discussing something and he knows they have time he pops the "wanna make out?" question, and that's so funny, but also so cute, like you said, he's all like "oh I wanna kiss you all of the time".
Tumblr media
He's also the one that said "I'm not sure I wanna stop" when Quinn said they're not making a good job in stopping those secret meetings. When Quinn said "if neither of us wants to stop they I guess..." and she seemed nervous about even suggesting it, still he completed with "we're dating?" , but he didn't look put off, he said it smiling, which feed my headcanon that he really wanted her from before the bench, he looked hopeful when he asked it (does that count as him asking her to be his gf?), so another first move.
Hanging out:
Mark:
Maybe it's because Mark is just... boring? but he doesn't seem to enjoy spending time with Quinn, most of the times we see them together, she is making experiments with him or dragging him around. Sometimes I felt like he enjoyed hanging with her friends more than her. He definitely seemed happier hanging with his own friends than her. I don't remember seeing them on a date besides their first, which he didn't know was a date, or actively seeking alone time with her.
He was always like "I guess" to her suggestions and efforts to being a normal couple.
But again, it seemed to be just with Quinn, he liked hanging out with Brooke and is seen on a date with her. He is still as boring as he was with Quinn, since Brooke left him because of that, but he seemed more into it with her. In one episode he showed more interest in Brooke than he ever did in two seasons with Quinn. And that made me feel so sad for Quinn.
That same episode random extras or minor characters showed more interest in Quinn than Mark in two seasons. What's worth noting is that Quinn didn't care about the attention she received for other boys, she wanted Mark to react like that. She cares about those things if it's coming from the boy she loves, and she would never get it from Mark.
Logan:
Before dating, despite still being a bit of an asshole towards her, Logan seemed fine with hanging out with Quinn, on the last season they became friendlier (again, despite him being still an ass), and post kiss he loved spending time with her, they were always finding moments to be together and alone, enjoying each other's company.
this scene was so fucking cute, while their friends were hanging out, they found a little hidden corner where they could keep kissing and be together:
Tumblr media
When it comes to dates, Quinn didn't really demanded or asked him to, she said she wished they could have dates like normal couples do. And what I love of this scene is that his reaction wasn't "ugh, okay" or "I guess...", instead his reaction was more like (for me) "I'm just happy being with you wherever we are, but if you want more, we can totally do more" and he immediately thought up a solution, a place where he could take her and he even seemed excited about it (with how quickly he came up with it, I bet he has thought about it before too, getting her wined and dined and all that)
Tumblr media
On the date he was as happy as Quinn to be there, and as annoyed when it was interrupted. Logan is the type to boast his wealth and stuff, but I don't think that was his motivation to take her there, I think he wanted to give her the best date possible, he wanted it to be special (if the theories are true, that might be the case too when it comes to their wedding, but that's for another point)
Tumblr media
15 years later, he still clings to her and looks as happy to be around her as he was then.
Tumblr media
"I Love You"
another immense difference between the too.
Mark:
Like I said, I don't remember him ever saying those three words to her. But wherever he said it or not, I don't think he did. I genuinely don't think he loved her. I'm not saying he didn't hold any emotional affection towards her, he just wasn't in love.
The way he broke up with her once he had the opportunity to be with another girl (thought I believe Quinn mentioned he had been acting weird for 15 days, so he might have been cheating on her for that long or less) is very telling. Like I know Mark is emotionless, that's his trait, but even then, he didn't seem sad at all about the break up.
And when she tried to get him back he rejected her quickly, making it clear he just didn't want that, even telling her how he felt about Brooke, and it's worth noting he never described Quinn like that, never said they had a connection or something, because they didn't, it was a very one-sided relationship.
Not wanting to kiss your girlfriend of two years until she starts bothering you about it is very telling to. Like I know aromantic/asexual people exist, but I doubt he had the same treatment with Brooke.
And honestly, despite the cheating, I felt bad for Mark, he seemed exhausted by that relationship. Like I said, Quinn was always dragging him around and experimenting with him. Plus, she was clingy, something that just didn't resonate with him (which makes me wonder: if him and Stacey are still together how did that worked out? since she is clingier than Quinn). I understand him leaving as soon as he could, it was a bad relationship for both.
Logan:
Like you pointed out, Logan was the first to say "I love you", and he did it publicly, he screamed it at the top of his lungs in front of a crowd, to her. But the first time he said it was to Stacey, and I really love his response to "why don't you want to kiss me" wasn't him telling her he didn't like her (which obviously he didn't), what came naturally to him was "because I love Quinn!", and it's so cute because he said in on accident, so it was the truth, that was his main reason that het slip, he doesn't want to kiss another girl because Quinn is the one he loves, the only one he wants to kiss from now on.
It was such a grand and meaningful gesture, a huge contrast to her previous relationship. This boy, unlike Mark, loves her so much he doesn't want to be with anyone else, he doesn't want to keep hiding their relationship, not if that means having to pretend to be interested in someone else, I love how he confirmed it again, with no regrets despite the guy behind him asking judgmentally "you love Quinn", like as soon as the words came out of his mouth he realized it was not worth hiding it, it didn't matter anymore if people were going to judge him (and for someone like Logan that's a huge step).
It was a very beautiful scene, it not only showed his love for her was bigger than his concern of what people would think, bigger than his ego, in a more subtle way it also showed he rather deal with that than being disloyal to her, even if it's just pretending, and that says a lot of how how different he is as a boyfriend.
Tumblr media
I also do believe on that headcanon that he loved her (or at the very least was crushing on her) before the bench scene, just in denial.
And it's kinda funny, how Mark seemed inoffensive yet he cheated and Logan was seen as the womanizer, yet he was loyal to Quinn.
Quinn's Jealousy Issues:
Many years ago I read the take that Quinn didn't love Logan as much because she wasn't jealous like with Mark, and I honestly disagree.
I believe jealousy roots from insecurities, and Quinn is a very confident girl, so I get why people wouldn't agree her jealousy stems from that, but hear me out.
Like it was mentioned above, Mark wasn't very affectionate and didn't seem interested in Quinn, maybe he thought she didn't need it, but for someone like Quinn, who is constantly seeking romantic gestures and cuddlings/kisses/just any kind of intimacy, it's clear she does. I found it interesting how she knew how many days he had been acting weird, it showed she is attentive to details, she notices and cares for those things. I know it could be attributed to just a quirky thing of hers, but I don't think it is.
I think Mark's lack of, well, participation on the relationship did affect her confidence on their relationship and herself, so that's where her jealousy comes from, she's a smart girl, deep down she must've known he wasn't as into her as she was into him, so she feared someone would take him away (and she was right!), I think her jealousy came from the insecurities the one-sided aspect of that relationship. It was also his poor communication skills, he was always like "yea... I guess... uh..."
With Logan though, she seemed chiller about it. She still got jealous about him taking "make out Mandy" to prom, but I think that was it. It was just, like, normal jealousy, for lack of better words. And I think that's for how attentive Logan was, he showed his interest constantly, he was affectionate, he cared, their relationship was built on good communication, he made her feel wanted and loved, something she didn't feel with Mark, it's hard to feel wanted and loved when someone doesn't want you nor love you.
She didn't have to drag Logan along or force him to show his love, he came to her and he was doing all that willingly, like you said he made the first moves from the bench scene, stopping to confort her and staying despite being told by her to leave was the first move.
Telling her what he really think of her was a first move too, I just can't stress enough how special it is to me that Logan was the only one that said he prefers her as herself.
Ever from the bench scene he rebuilds her confidence, and he does it by just loving her and showing her with his actions and words, not on purpose, he just does it, he just loves her so much he can't help letting her know. And I think that's why Quinn is not as jealous with Logan, because she doesn't have to fear someone taking him away, not when he's clinging to her side and when she is on a healthy relationship based on reciprocate love and good communications.
Overall, Logan not only loved Quinn, he also liked her, and had no problem letting her know that.
Jealousy from their part:
There's not much to say about Mark here, so I'll just jump to Logan.
The "well, he's not [Quinn's boyfriend] anymore!" scene and him not letting her invite the shirtless guy to prom may not be the only times we've seen him jealous. If we take into consideration that he might have been into Quinn before the bench kiss, we can see his treatment of Mark in a different light. Like we all know Logan was a jerk, but he seemed to specially dislike Mark, making fun of him, not caring at all if he was injured/injuring himself (I really wish I had a gif or at least a pic of when he threw that frisbie at Mark, you can see in his face he did that on purpose and enjoy it), like he generally disliked him.
I do believe he was jealous, and seemed to calm down once he had Quinn.
The Relationship:
I'll make this point short because it's basically repeating what I already said.
Quinn-Mark relationship was one-sided, with Quinn doing most of the emotional and physical labor, Mark either reacted to her or was forced to reciprocate, but rarely even initiated intimacy, they had poor communication skills from his part. Overall, he wasn't into it as she was.
Quinn-Logan relationship was fully reciprocated, with Logan doing as much emotional and physical labor, he willingly spend time with her, showed affection and love, meeting Quinn's expectations and both parts communicated perfectly, working as a team to solucionate any problem they may have. Overall, Logan was an active part of the relationship and was very much into it an her, just as much as Quinn.
TL;DR: In a shocking turn of events, Logan turned out to be the most boyfriend material of the cast. The boyfriend Quinn dreamed of.
now, to answer the rest of the ask.
I also hope Logan got carried away on the thrill of giving Quinn the perfect wedding, making their day as especial as possible.
I love love love that you wrote "Logan is finally seeing that knowing someone before just making out with them makes you want them more" because yes! this is new for him too, this is his first relationship and it was so cute how he was like "alright, I love this, I'm never letting go" (don't even bring up that "they break up at least once" hc, I refuse to believe it, let me live in denial)
I also hope they're not just background comic relief, I hope they treat this beautiful ship with the respect it deserves, hope they don't forget they're the most loved couple for a reason and actually the reason why 90% of ppl will be watching that movie
I may be forgetting about more points, but I can always reblog later. Do share your thoughts please
also, now I'm sorry for having making this so long lol
EDIT: Ugh, I had to delete a few pics examples and gifs or it wouldn't let me post it.

Okay, so I watched the Zoey 102 trailer and I saw a scene with Quinn running in her wedding dress. I'm gonna say it now, if at some point she runs away with Del Figgalo, I'm taking no hostages, I will fucking burn the place to the ground. Don't test me.

Did anyone else kind of hate the way Mark was acting in regards to Quinn? Calling their two year relationship a "fling" and referring to Quinn as his "sloppy seconds." Blegh! I wish they hadn't cut the "sloppy seconds" scene before Logan could react because I feel like Mark was about to get punched. Would've loved to see that! I guess it goes to show just how awful he was for Quinn. Though, we already knew that 15 years ago.

It is kinda funny that Mark and Stacey got married (before Quinn and Logan at that) and after rewatching the show, I do feel kind of vindicated for their characters since they were always the butt of every joke and now they're a real part of the social circle. Them getting married is extra funny since the last time we saw these characters together, Mark literally hit Stacey with a car lol.
I do like to imagine that they, in fact, did not start dating after prom, but just started hanging out more and stayed in touch as adults and that's when they started dating. I mostly want this to be the way it happened because a) too many high school relationships are working out in that movie. Let Mark and Stacey be the slow burn friends to lovers trope that Zoey and Chase wanted to be but never actually were. and b) I have an image in my mind of Quinn and Logan being meddlesome matchmakers because you know that's exactly the kind of hijinks they would get into.

I wonder if these will be actual quotes from them.
And if they actually are quotes, that makes me wonder if Logan attempted proposing before, but maybe Quinn just wasn't ready yet.
Maybe not, but..I guess we'll find out. 😄
And ngl, Matthew Underwood definitely has "The Bachelor" look down. Lol 🌹💍

Zoey 102 Thoughts
-This movie was quite fun.
-Praise to the director because the cinematography was on point. The scene where Quinn throws her veil in the air and the scene where Zoey bumps into the waiters are notable scenes.
- Zoey is trash. She ditched Chase in Hawaii and didn’t contact him for weeks and she ruined Quinn and Logan’s wedding and the show because she thought she could do both. She is a very selfish person.
-Chase is also trash. Very obviously being jealous over your high school ex while your recent ex who is pretending to still be your girlfriend is there is not a good look buddy. Also I don’t care if he didn’t technically cheat, he still humiliated Danielle by spending all that time with Zoey and kissing her because everyone else thinks he cheated.
-In conclusion, Chase and Zoey are both trash so they definitely deserve each other. Yet, I couldn’t care about any of their scenes together because they are such a bland couple. They do not have any of the fire and banter that Quinn and Logan have. I didn’t ship Zoey and Chase in the og show either.
-The other characters (besides Zoey and Chase) were the highlights of the movie.
-I find it criminal that we barely got any Michael scenes/backstory. How did Stacey and Mark get more screentime when they were only recurring characters in the og show while Michael was a main. Also why was Michael the only one without a significant other??? They could have given him somebody.
-The Quinn and Logan moments were adorable.

Oh this edit captured perfectly what I meant when I said Quinn never had the type of relationship she wanted until Logan (surprisingly). Her and Mark just weren't compatible at the end of the day, and it's not a diss at him, Quinn had her flaws and he also wanted something different and I hope he got it with Stacey, and I'm glad they're friends.
Also please please, give the creator lots of love, this is such an underrated edit

Is it just me or did you think Mark was the worst boyfriend ever to exist?!?!
He was a decent extra character on the show but NOT a good boyfriend!!!
When Quinn and Logan started dating it’s as if they both revealed their true selves. They both seemed relaxed. I could just tell this was a OTP since at least season 3.
Oh yeah, Mark SUCKED! I think he was a very funny character and a great addition to the cast, but an AWFUL boyfriend to Quinn. I feel like because he was so lacking in affection and communication, Quinn felt super insecure with him. Like the quarantine episode? A difficult watch! Logan and Quinn are sooooo much better together. In one sitting, Logan said more nice things to Quinn than Mark said to her during their entire relationship. Major red flag on Mark's part😬🚩

Kissing 101, Ch. 3 (Preview)
Posting a preview because this chapter has taken longer to write than expected, though it will be done in a few days, once I fix a few scenes and edit! In the mean time, here’s a preview of a good Quogan practice scene!
——————
“Well, the lights were down low because we were watching Phantomgeist… and we were cuddling-“
Quinn felt his hand on her wrist and the touch silenced her words completely as Logan took her by the hand and began to guide her. “Like this, right?” He asked as he shifted to sit up at the edge of the couch and took her with him. She instinctively curled her legs up to lay at his side, the way she had been with Mark last night. One of his hands settled on the small of her back while his other went back to resting on the arm of the couch.
She blinked once they settled moving and she had to take in the fact that she was now cuddling him on the tiny couch, noticing the lack of room they had on the couch made her even more aware that they were very very close. Knowing that they had to be didn’t make it any easier to feel that way. It was the first time since their first practice kiss that the closeness felt unfamiliar, and this was much closer than that had been.
Quinn felt her mouth go painfully dry and her tongue suddenly felt heavy and unable to form words. “Uhm…” was just about the only thing she could manage.
From her best guess at his expression, he seemed to take a bit of pleasure in the fact that she was struggling to remember one of the most basic human behaviors. His hand was also… very warm on her back. Which was certainly not helping. Nor the scent of expensive cologne on his shirt, nor the weight of his arm against her…
‘C’mon Pensky, you’re one of the top minds of your generation!’ Quinn thought to herself, a bit frantic as she couldn’t say anything in response to Logan asking her if this was right, ‘You’re better than being tongue tied at a cuddle of all things, this isn’t even real cuddling, this is an experiment. Experiments are scientific more than anything. You know science. You. Know. Science…’
“What’s the matter, am I not being Mark enough?” Logan asked, his voice teasing as he began to lightly run her hand up her back and then back down to where it originally was, which made her electricity tingle along her skin. “Do I have to act more like him?”
He cleared his throat and began to speak in a monotone voice, trying to sound as dull as he could manage, “Hey. I’m Mark Del Figgalo. I don’t know why Quinn goes out with me, when she could build a better boyfriend out of spare parts from a vacuum.”
His impression of her Mark broke the spell, she would have been insulted on his behalf if she could… though she found she couldn’t react with anything except the shock of finally being able to feel anything except Logan and his proximity. Her hands quickly flew up to cover her mouth, though not before a very indelicate laugh slipped out. His eyes gleamed at the sight and she sighed internally at her own failure to not feed his ego.
“You laughed!” He sounded way too proud of himself, and Quinn scoffed at his expression.
“No I didn’t!” She insisted, which was so obviously a lie, though if she said it assertively enough, she hoped he would just take her word for it.
“Yeah you did…” Logan stretched out the word ‘did’ insistently and lightly poked her midsection, she had to resist another laugh, that was only because she was ticklish and not because he was funny. “You laughed at my impression.”
Because he wasn’t. “You’re not usually funny.” she said, which wasn’t entirely the truth either, but that was the last thing she would admit to him, because otherwise he would push her buttons way more often.
“So you admit you thought I was funny just now?” He asked, smirking as he made sure to gaze very intently into her eyes. Her cheeks prickled with little sensations of heat and she hoped it wasn’t the blush she thought it might be. Their close position was messing with her head, and she couldn’t have that.
“Absolutely not, your impression was just… laughable.” Quinn managed to explain, glad she found the real reason that she laughed, for a second she was worried it was because he was funny, but now she had the right explanation, “You just don’t understand Mark and his array of subtle nuances.”
“You’re probably right. Mostly because I don’t know what ‘subtle nuances’ means.” He used the hand that wasn’t resting warm on the small of his back to make some air quotes before continuing with a grin, “I think I have his voice down though. Right?”
“I am not indulging you Logan…” She put her foot down on that, or at least, she pressed it into the other side of the couch. Which was all she could do in this position.
“Well then, I know a good way for you to shut me up…” He leaned toward her slightly and pressed his hand just a bit more intently against her back. She knew what he was implying, that practice was a good way to keep his mouth shut. It was a tempting idea, certainly, and she felt dared to.
“Maybe you’re right about something… y’know, for once.” Quinn granted him, her head tilting upward so her mouth was closer to his. If he was trying to teach her, he was annoyingly effective. She couldn’t manage this with Mark last night, but right now it was very easy to imagine leaning in and shutting his stupid mouth right up with her own.
In fact, she would have… if he wasn’t suddenly pushing her away and adjusting himself quickly. Her mind struggled to catch up with the sudden absence and she began to ask, “Wh-”
… Then she heard what she assumed Logan had heard moments before, the sound of a key fumbling on the other side of the door. Confusion turned to panic as she sat up and began to fix herself up as much as possible.
