Gina: I asked Nini if there was anything she'd change about me, and instead of saying something cute like "nothing, you're perfect the way you are," she goes "nut allergy."
Ricky: It's thoughtful if you are allergic to nuts, but a thousand times funnier if you're not.

HSMTMTS FANDOM DISCOURSE
I don't make posts, BUT the Ashlyn slander annoyed me very much... I will start by saying: WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PPL IN THIS FANDOM???? 
We forget so easily that Ashlyn was the reason Gina stayed (TWICE) (and also was the one who tried to be there for her when she felt miserable in the first half of s2) and we really jump on hating on her just for that Gina 1.0 remark??? This fandom is really sth...
I agree that Ash overreacted and was wrong when Gina said she wanted to do a solo audition... BUT Ash was right when Gina gave that advice to the younger girls and you can see, from the auditions, that it backfired on one of them... Both of them were wrong and right... See how easy it was to say that both of them were wrong without insulting either of them?
I won't accept any character slander in this show bc I love them all. But I'll admit when these characters do sth that I think is wrong...
Ps. Look how cute is their friendship. Did we really forget that so easily? We are so quick to find excuses for or favorites and talk bad about others... Next time when you want to say sth bad about a character, think it as your favorite did that and then see if you can still say sth bad...

Pet Shopping (Gina Porter/Nini Salazar-Roberts
Tumblr media
fandom: high school musical the musical the series | wc: 575 | ao3 | year of the otp: february, "if i kiss you, will you shut up?" | keep calm and write something bingo: G5, character a and character b go to a pet store | femslash february: day 12, "get in loser we're going shopping"
@yearoftheotpevent
“Let’s just put the name on the back burner, okay?” Gina suggested as Nini pulled into a parking spot. The two of them had been going back and forth the whole way to Pet Smart—they’d be adopting a cat today, and hadn’t settled on a name yet. “We’ll get the supplies now, and worry about the right name when we see the cat.”
“I guess that’s fair.” Nini was practically jumping up and down as she and Gina walked into the store. “All I’ll say, is that if we meet the little thing and she just is your name—I’ll concede to your choice.”
“Aw, babe,” Gina said, affectionately grabbing Nini’s hand. “I’ll do the same. If we are looking at a cat that matches your name, then that’s that.”
Nini couldn’t keep from singing the Taylor Swift song that had inspired the name. They stopped walking and Gina put a hand over Nini’s mouth with a laugh. 
“If I kiss you, will you promise not to break out into song in the middle of Pet Smart?” Nini’s eyes twinkled, and she nodded, moving Gina’s hand out of the way and pulling her close.
In Nini’s opinion, there were far too many options in the pet accessory aisle. How were they supposed to choose just one aesthetic when there were so many? Nini was drawn initially to the pink and purple, moving onto starry patterns—landing, then, on a little black collar with flames on it. 
“That collar does not match your cat name,” Gina laughed, holding it up. “You’re telling me this says, ‘Hello, I’m Karma’?”
“Well now that you point it out—yes, I am doubting it.” Nini grabbed every single collar she’d looked at and dropped them dramatically into the shopping basket. “Look what you’ve done! I guess we have no choice but to get them all.”
Gina smiled warmly and snaked her arm through Nini’s that was holding the basket. 
They had the same issue when it came to beds. And bowls. And toys. Basically, Nini and Gina could probably open up their own pet shop with the amount of things they bought. They couldn’t contain their excitement as they drove to the Humane Society. All of their cat supplies made it all real. 
They had looked at a few kittens on the website, but hadn’t wanted to get their hopes up about a particular kitten until they saw in person. 
“They are all too cute,” Nini whispered when she saw them all. Most of the kittens were sat, bug-eyed, in the back of their kennels. When Nini approached a little Calico, she pawed at the kennel door. “Oh my god, he waved!”
“She is precious.” Gina put a little finger up and wiggled it in front of the cat, who meowed and nudged his head against the door. 
“She is definitely Fleabag,” Nini mused. Gina leaned into her. “We have to get her.”
“Neens—“ Gina’s attention was drawn across the room, where she led Nini to a little fluffy white cat. “This is Karma.”
“Are we about to adopt two cats?” Nini couldn’t contain the smile that spread eagerly across her face. She was very thankful for the multiples they had purchased at Pet Smart. 
Gina bit her lip and raised her shoulders. “I’m down if you are.”
Karma and Fleabag were friends instantly, falling asleep in the same cubby-hole on the cat tree in the Porter-Salazar-Roberts living room.

Why do ppl think Sofia ships rina?
Do you think sofia is a pw or a gicky shipper?
These two anons are asking similar questions, so I figured I'd answer them together! 😅 I don't wanna speak for any of the cast and whether or not they have ship preferences because we have to keep in mind that they don't approach the show or their characters in the same way shippers do. That being said, it seems Sofia knows she will get quite a bit of engagement with the Rina shippers in particular on Twitter b/c they probably showed a lot of love to her post-S1 (and who could blame them😚). I think because of this, Rina shippers are inclined to believe anything she tweets about the show is in favor of their ship b/c she has posted favorably in the past. She also tweeted about supporting Gini (Gina and Nini) as well.🤷🏽‍♀️ In terms of Portwell, we haven't heard Sofia's thoughts post-S2, so I don't know if she ships them or not. We don't really know if she ships Rina either b/c we're not her, you know? Lol😅 I don't believe she's ever explicitly talked about either ships, so I won't assume anything. From what I remember, she has posted about Portwell on her Facebook, avoiding any chance of the shipwars present on Twitter. 😂 Perhaps S3 promo/interviews will give us more insight into what she thinks about the ships? 🤔
BTW, I think it's totally fine to believe whatever you want as long as ur not hurting or attacking any of the cast over it. 🙂

HSMTMTS: Nini Salazar-Roberts x Gina Porter
Requested by @childofsquidward
"Do you have to go?" Nini whines down the phone, bottom lip sticking out ever so slightly in the hopes that if she looks pathetic enough, it'll change the answer she knows is coming.
While Gina practically melts at the sight, her shoulders slump sadly and she says, "I do. I'm sorry. The next activity is starting, like, right now and I don't think the counsellors will be happy if I'm late. And I can't let the team down."
Nini waves off the sincere apology, feeling bad for guilting her. She gives her best reassuring smile, ignoring the heavy weight already settling in her stomach.
"It's okay. Go, have fun! Tell me all about it on our next call."
"Definitely. And you need to tell me how it's going with Jamie."
Nini nods, forcing herself to contain the sudden surge of words that flow into her mouth, having to bite her tongue to stop them from spilling. Their calls are few and far between with how busy they've both been lately, so there's a lot she still needs to tell her.
For now, though, they say their goodbyes. Nini blows a kiss and Gina giggles, and plays along, pretending to catch it before blowing one back. There's a muffled shout from Gina's side and she glances over her shoulder.
"Coming!" she calls back, then turns to Nini one more time. "I love you, neen. Talk soon, yeah? Okay."
"I love you!" Nini quickly says.
They end the call with them both grinning to themselves. Nini sighs deeply and holds her phone to her chest as she locks it. Her own name is shouted from the recording studio. Back to work.

Gina: I could kiss you right now!
Nini, voice squeaking: Neat.
*later*
Nini: Neat! I said "neat"! I'm not a teenager from the 50s, I can do better than "neat"!
Ricky: Don't sweat it, remember what I said the first time EJ told me he loved me?
Nini: Didn't you say "yikes"?
Ricky, eyes haunted: I said "yikes".

let’s talk about how gina compliments ricky’s love language so much and he was able to be himself in this relationship as opposed to nini
You know, I appreciate how much this season made emphasis on how both Nini and Gina react differently to Ricky's love gestures. Nini felt suffocated by him. Gina wanted him to fight for her and do those big gestures. And both reactions are valid. I made a post last season about how Ricky and Gina’s love languages complement each other and I love how the show proves me correct on how I interpret this characters. This is going to be a lengthy post.
Ricky is pretty much a huge gestures type of guy. He is unabashedly romantic when he wants to be. He is also incredible clingy and someone that needs reassurance and affirmations. He gives love by big gestures and likes to receive love by words of affirmation.
His relationship with Nini ever since the start of the series showed how incompatible they’ve become for each other. To start off, I think Nini was unable to understand Ricky’s family situation because hers is very different so it might have been because of this that she didn’t understand his reaction towards a public declaration of love (his parents probably didn’t do that anymore). She was unable to identify what he needed from her and he failed to communicate why he felt that way. It goes both ways. He needed to say the words when he felt he was ready to say it. And that's very imporant.
But also, the first thing we learn about their relationship is that Nini feels like she was able to shine over the summer and it’s hoping for new opportunities that she feels Ricky holds her back from. Ricky is resistant to this and tries out for the musical to get her back, an idea Nini is not happy about because she feels he is invading her space. During his audition, he performs a song for Nini to try and tell her he loves her. He thinks is a declaration of love but for Nini is not. But Gina is actually impressed by this. And so, even with the first episode, the show lists many reasons why they don’t seem to be compatible anymore. Nini doesn’t like Ricky’s easy going approach to things. And is absolutely fair. I think she needs someone that pushes her to be more ambitious and that shares the same desire for challenges.
Ricky confessing his love for Nini in an outburst at the end of Season 1 felt like he forced it out because he knew that’s what she needed to hear from him to get back together. He was afraid to lose that sense of familiarity. It’s what makes his love confession to Gina so different because it was intentional. He was so sure and so confident and he wanted to tell her that despite not knowing what the future holds.
Early on Season 2, it's made clear they have completely different ideas on what the other is willing to do for each other. Ricky relied too much on her to have some sense of stability because everything at his home keeps falling apart. Nini just wants to spread her wings and it’s willing to go far to pursue her dreams (“I resolve to follow my dreams however far away they take me”) which is why she felt so trapped and suffocated by him. Ricky’s abandonment issues made him clingier than usual. I also think she was a bit rude at times and had a hard time trying to understand him. Like, when he said he was told he had not profitable qualities on the aptitude test and she brush it off and told him she didn’t come back for him. It was pretty harsh. I don't think neither of them knew what the other needed emotionally anymore. It was a bit of a mess and Ricky didn’t even know what he was supposed to do. Ricky’s love language for her was quality time and gestures but I don’t think that was Nini’s vibe. It got to a point she wasn’t receptive of his attempts at fixing their relationship. And as I said, Ricky needs to feel that his attempts are at least appreciated. And Nini never really did a good job at lifting him up.
A lot of Ricky's issues with how it went down with Nini is that he was dealing with his mom abandonment issues and Nini wasn't putting the same efforts into staying with Ricky (long distance or otherwise) and she's valid for this. But seeing it from Ricky's perspective too is like another person is also choosing to leave him.
Now, Gina is someone that wants to feel wanted. She wants people to fight for her. This is probably due to her family and how they didn’t put her as a priority growing up. How her mom barely even validates what’s important for her. This is why she liked EJ at first, because he gave her the attention she needed at that time. And it’s fair to say Gina gives love by words of affirmation and gifts. And likes to receive love by gestures and quality time. Same as Ricky.
She was impressed by Ricky singing to Nini at auditions on the pilot. She told Ricky to sing the song to Nini by the phone on Valentine’s Day because “every girl [her] likes a sweet gesture”. She threw a big surprise party for Carlos when they weren't even that close yet. She likes huge gestures. And I don’t think it was a coincidence when Ricky asked her back in Season 2 *if they were dating* and he went behind her back but for a good reason (and the whole thing about asking Miss Jenn if she can add Nini to the show last minute) if she’d like it. Gina answers that she would be flattered. Ricky took Gina's words without considering that this is not something Nini would want. For Ricky, it’s so they can spent more time together (and Gina sees it that way too) but Nini does not. She sees it as an added pressure. And you see how much Ricky's midset has been altered by his relationship with Nini that on Season 4 he thinks Gina would be relieved by Dani taking her place as Gabriella because she's been too busy with the movie despite him wanting them to spend time together. And Gina isn’t happy. For her, the the show is also a thing for them.
The season actually makes a lot of parallels to this. It also parallels this especifit moment from Season 2 when Ricky wants to send a *dumb* text to Nini that says something about "he is happy she's following her dreams but also he wishes he was her dream. And wants her to turn aroud and come back here. I believe the word he used was forever." And we know Nini would've felt pressured by that text. And that’s understandable. But the writers are so funny because on 408 during Gina's confessional she says she hasn't made a decision about the movie yet and wishes Ricky would fight for her a little more. And in Ricky's confessional he says he once told a girl (Nini) to stay home and it didn’t end too well so he doesn't want to make the same mistake. But Gina wants for Ricky to be Ricky and go all and beyond. But he has grown too much to be selfish. But he does end up doing what Gina wants by singing to her about forever fully expecting her to follow her dreams away from him without even knowing Gina had already decided to follow her dreams and be with him too. We truly love a full circle.
Moving to Season 3, it’s clear Gina likes the feeling of sharing things with a partner, and she saw how EJ was unable to give her that or even make space for her to be a priority but I do think there’s a lot of growth on Gina about understating the needs of her partner too. For example, Gina was able to give Ricky space after the whole Halloween situation. Ricky called her asking her for space and she allowed. It wasn't a break up, just mutual understanding that everyone needs a minute to take it all in and it's not because they don’t want to face it.
On Season 4, right off the bat, it shows us Gina embraces Ricky’s dorky and clingy side a lot. She likes his unexpected visits and ideas. She likes when Ricky plans stuffs and sneaks into her trailer. She likes when Ricky texts her a lot. Gina wants to feel that love because she lacked a lot of that growing up. Unlike Nini, who wanted to be free and get new experiences. Gina likes the stability Ricky provides her. And another thing Sofia said on a interview is that Gina likes how Ricky is very easy going because Gina is already too perfectionist. But mostly, I think you can appreciate how Gina encourages Ricky to be a little more ambitious while Ricky encourages Gina to be more relaxed. To be more giddy and bring down her walls. Nini felt like she coulnd't be truly herself around Ricky while Gina is the total opposite, she feels seen and understood with him because he is able to give her that with the way he is. And Gina does it to Ricky in return by making him feel wanted and appreciated for who he is. I do hope Nini finds someone (preferentially a girl) that makes her feel that way too. Seen and understood.
And also, let's point out how both Ricky and Gina's love language is also physical touch because they are unable to stop touching each other even if by friendly little shoulder touches. They’re unable to stop kissing each other. Gina can’t stop cupping Ricky’s cheeks. Or holding hands. In conclusion, Ricky and Gina are perfect and love each other so much. And their love story is so well written and for the books.

the contrast between hsmtmts 1x10 and 4x08 concerning Ricky is crazy.
in 1x10 he leaves the performance, quite literally hightails it off the stage because he thinks he’s not good enough for nini. He thinks he’s not gonna be able to help her get into YAC because of how badly he’s messing up (and I mean, he messed up one performance and nini wasn’t even there, so how would he know??) and gives the role away to ej because he thinks “ej is the right Troy for ninis Gabriella.”
then compare that to 4x08 (and by association, 4x07). Ricky has never been more ready for this musical in his entire life. Even after he finds out about Gina leaving (which is almost worse than finding out your mom has a new boyfriend, even though he’s known about Todd since thanksgiving, don’t hurt me ok) Ricky keeps his head in the game and continues to be there for Gina. because he knows her. he knows that he needs to be there for her, in part because of all of his character development and also because Gina is the one. Gina is his person. Gina’s the one who constantly supports him and gets him and is there for him. so he stays with it and absolutely slaps the entire second half of the show. and then and then and then - man literally SPRINTS to the real stage in order to catch Gina before she’s too late. Because while nini had to practically pull Ricky into the aisle to begin their performance (a bit dramatic, but I digress) Ricky runs for his life (after his life / future hehe) so he’s able to give “the audition” (and the performance) “of a lifetime.” (Direct quote from the leaked script, by the way. I didn’t make it up) I dunno I just thought it was interesting how Ricky was one foot in the door the whole first season with nini, never quite committing, but the whole fourth season Ricky is jumping around inside the house being the absolute best boyfriend ever and chasing his future wife down to sing her a song.
I have no idea if this made sense or even if anyone will know what I’m talking about but it’s been on my mind for a couple of hours and I just had to say it
so hopefully it makes sense at least a little bit lol
