disorganized rini thoughts:
I totally see them as a Marshall/Lily from HIMYM thing where they're obviously endgame in my mind, they just have a lot of learning to do first obviously. the future i headcanon for them (based on season 2) goes thusly:
2021: nini takes jamie's advice and starts a youtube channel. nini's first song on there goes semi viral. it's about reconnecting with oneself and gaining back inner strength. even though it's not about him per se, ricky takes this advice and starts taking baby steps to healing his relationship with his parents, and goes to therapy.
2022: after confronting some of his demons and seeking help, life generally looks to be up and up for ricky. he remembers the one time when someone commented on nini's instagram that they were helped by her music and decides to be (actually) supportive this time with no expectations of anything. He also dabbles more in songwriting, and their first collab drops on Thanksgiving break. He gifts her a song off-camera for reaching 500k subscribers. For the first time in a year they actually think they might be ready, but they know better than to do something half-baked and so they wait.
nini crosses 100M views by August 2024; ricky "no marketable skills" bowen is her informal PR and social media team that stays out of her spotlight. he also collabs and writes songs with her occasionally but prefers to be in the background. After working on themselves a lot more, they try LDR through different colleges. Though tough, they make it work this time. Instead of suffocating each other they soar. No more pedestals, no more gilded cages. Nini signs on with Jamie's record label.
Sometime in 2026, after two years of discussions, introspection, a brief mutually agreed-upon break from their relationship, and experiment, Ricky comes out to his girlfriend as bi. They attend their first Pride event together that year. Nini surpasses 20M subscribers. Fame when young is hard for many reasons but having read of accounts from others who have walked her path before, she has countermeasures in place, a support system ready for her, and weathers the storm with grace.
Sometime in early 2033, Nini uploads a single picture of her in a wedding suit modeled after Momma D's, captioned: "Just married!" The speculation sure goes wild for a few days, but Nini's still proud that the fixations on her personal life never out-trended her actual work. There are weirdos, sure, rumours from people who have nothing better to do, threats from scum of the earth targeting her and her loved ones, but all-in-all, she's proud of the impact her songs have had on lives everywhere. Her heart soars from all the stories that she makes possible, all the lives she's able to touch.
Salazar-Roberts-Bowen might be a bit silly and Nina Bowen might be a bit basic so they don't change names.
The proposal involved a tree house and necklaces. A discussion was had prior to it all and she beat him to the question by a day.
Ricky takes a teaching gig at East High and hates the papparazi, though he finds he has a certain charm in dealing with them. He discovers that loves touring with his wife when he can, as well.
They buy back Ricky's childhood home to put down roots and adopts a boy and a girl.

booty shorts that say “i love you. i’ve loved you since the first time you picked up your ukelele and you wrote a song about clouds, a silly little song about clouds, i love you. and that night in your room when you told me you loved me i meant to say it, i meant to say it, and i’ve kicked myself everyday since then because i didn’t say it but i do, i love you. i’ve loved you since seventh grade when i made you ride in the front row of demon’s destiny at six flags, and you told me you sometimes get a little seasick on rollercoasters and i said: cmon, live a little. i remember. and then i puked all over your shoes, and you didn’t even make me feel bad about it, no, you just said, um—no worries, i’ve wanted to get rid of these shoes for a while. yeah, because you outgrew them. and the thing is, i never outgrew you. and i don’t really know what happens tomorrow, or in two minutes when we walk out that door. all i know is, i want this feeling to keep going. because this whole experience, i’m just—i’m not ready for it to be over. for us to be, i mean. and if that means doing another musical? fine. i get to pick the musical. fine, that’s fine, it’s all fine. i just—i don’t want this to be just a showmance, really. i want it to be the real thing. i mean—i think it is the real thing, i just—i want a chance to prove it. i do. i mean, look—ricky, um, you know in musicals when people burst into song when they’ve run out of things to say? yeah. sometimes it’s easier to just kiss. yeah. yeah. yeah.” on the ass

SO MANY GOOD THINGS THIS EPISODE
• NINI AND GINAS FRIENDSHIP
ricky calling nini because he needs to talk to her about his mom :( my poor boy
nini’s face when she sees ej on stage instead of ricky is everything
ASHLYN SINGING HER SONG AND BIG RED LOOKING SO PROUD WHILE HE SHINES THE SPOTLIGHT ON HER (miss jenn mouthing the words with her i love that)
ricky CONFRONTING his mom about bringing her boyfriend (i can’t believe her reasoning for not telling him was “i didn’t wanna throw you off” she KNOWS that ricky is having the hardest time with his parents splitting up so i don’t understand her logic)(also hope that the “not all couples are meant to be together” isn’t foreshadowing for rini bc i love them)
seb’s family is so precious
SEBLOS CHEEK KISS
big red’s unknown robotics skills
NINIS TEXT FROM RICKY HE IS SO SWEET (she looks so sad tho that he’s not gonna be out there)
i love ricky and gina’s scene, she knew that if she could get him back out there he would finish it and it really seems like all of their feelings have been resolved
ej and nini together was so cringy “gabby????” wtf was that
EJ STEPPING OFF STAGE WAS REAL CHARACTER GROWTH SO PROUD OF HIM
LOVE THE EPISODE ONE PARALLEL WITH THE FLASHLIGHT
”just look at my ricky, right at me” HE LOOKS SO IN LOVE
i knew that ej got gina that ticket but good for him!!!! growth!!!!
kinda upset we missed the whole verse with ricky and nini tho bc they were talking :( (where was the scene when there fingers are interlocked??? does anyone know the gif i’m talking about?? did i just miss it or)
ITS OKAY THAT I DIDNT SEE IT THO BECAUSE NINI HOLDING RICKYS FACE!!!!! THE WAY THEYRE STARING AT EACH OTHER
tbh thought they were gonna kiss on stage
at the curtain call ricky pushing nini forward more 😭😭 precious boy
“is that the last apple?” HOW NICE OF THEM TO DO THAT FOR HER
WHATS THE SPRING MUSICAL
where was the promo pic with josh and olivia holding each other at the end and staring at each other?????
RICKY AND EJ HUGGING AS THEY GO ACROSS THE CAST SO MUCH CHARACTER GROWTH THIS EPISODE
BIG RED THE THIRD OH MY GOD
it is so sweet that he got those flowers for ashlyn!!!!!
THE GROWTH FROM KOURTNEY AND RICKY THE PAST TWO EPISODES
(this one is gonna be long lmao) THE SCENE WITH RICKY AND NINI, when ricky is walking in you can tell he sighs like he is nervous to talk to her. this is so small but the look on his face and the way he raises one eyebrow when he’s like “you sure?” perfection. he’s so sad that the shows over :((((( he’s found a family with all of these people!! (after re-watching the scene like 10 times you can tell from his sighing when he walks in and the way he keeps looking at her and the little hop that he does before she says “is that it?” that what he’s about say to her is just building up) BOY LET ME TELL YOU AFTER LAST WEEKS EPISODE PEOPLE WERE MAKING PREDICTIONS ABOUT HOW THE “i love you” WOULD HAPPEN and tbh i thought like she would run off stage to get him during breaking free and somehow it would be this small little “i love you” while they stare into each other’s eyes or something but WHAT WE GOT WAS SO MUCH BETTER!!!! A WHOLE MONOLOGUE! THAT WAS IMPROVISED!!! JOSH AND OLIVIA HAVE SO MUCH CHEMISTRY ITS UNREAL!!!! THEYRE SUCH GOOD ACTORS TOO LIKE THERE WAS SO MUCH RAW EMOTION!!! WHEN HE SAYS “I LOVE YOU” WITH HIS WHOLE CHEST SHE WHIPS HER HEAD AROUND SO FAST BECAUSE YOU KNOW SHE WAS SO HURT WHEN HE DIDNT SAY IT BACK. HE SAYS IT NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE BUT FIVE TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (side note: but is the six flags story like the moment he realized he loved her??) WHEN SHE SAYS THEY SHOULD KISS HE LOOKS SO HAPPY AND RELIEVED! AND THE KISS!!!!!! MAGIC!!!!!! THE WAY SHES HOLDING HIS FACE AND HE GRABS HER CHIN!!! and they both look so happy!!! HIS HAPPY SIGH AFTER THEY KISS, LIKE HE CANT BELIEVE IT. (am i tripping or does the dialogue from episode one when she tells him to just watch the video parallel her giving him the dog tag??) (also isn’t gabriella freaky genius girl??? it’s still cute tho) I HOPE WE SEE JOSH AND/OR OLIVIA SING JUST FOR A MOMENT IN THE SECOND SEASON
gina is gonna stay at ashlyns!!!!!!! i wonder how that is gonna play out with ricky and gina
YIKES!!!!!!! WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN TO MS JENN AND MR MAZZARA
NINI GOT ACCEPTED TO THE YAC
you know as soon as she tells ricky he’s gonna tell her to go!!!! even if they’re in love and he’ll miss her!! it’s gonna cause dramaaaaaa tho i can already tell
lastly, josh looks hot af with that dog tag on and he’s like hanging off the doorway completely in love, beautiful

"i am more than what i am more to you
you say i'm perfect, but i've got thorns with my petals, too
And i won't be confined to you point of view
i'm breaking through the glass you put me in
'Cause my beauty's from within"

While I’m on my High School Musical: The Series soap box, let me just go to bat for Ricky for a quick minute??? This kid didn’t even do that much wrong. Sure, he didn’t say “I love you” when Nini did, and even worse, he asked for space immediately after she said it. 
That’s weak. I get it. 
But think about this: Ricky has reasons for why he’s so hesitant to say “I love you.” He’s a 16/17 year old impressionable boy whose only concept of love comes from his parents, who clearly are unhappy and treat each other terribly. How can he say “I love you” when “love” basically equates to misery and a broken home???
It’s just like Rory in Gilmore Girls, not being ready to say “I love you” to Dean, because her entire life, she’d never heard her mom say it to anyone. The only person Lorelei ever did say that to, was Christopher, who got her pregnant and then, for all intents and purposes, disappeared. SO IT TOOK HER A MINUTE TO GET THERE. 
IT TOOK RICKY A MINUTE. 
Super happy Nini went and found her self (that line in the pilot “I went and found myself, and you don’t get to show up now” was flawless writing), but she’s not seeing the bigger picture. And that’s partially Ricky’s fault, because he didn’t tell her why he couldn’t say “I love you”--he just fled, instead. 
But he explains in the pilot. He sings to her in front of a bunch of random people and then confesses it’s not even something he hears his parents say, and maybe that’s why he had such a hard time, but he’s sorry. 
And from that moment, all we’ve seen is Ricky trying to do the right thing. Got called out for not really wanting to be in the play? Learned all the dances and songs in his free time so everyone would know he took it seriously. Got a little competitive with EJ? Tried to apologize and do the right thing by making amends. Nini feeling suffocated? Gave her space to do her thing. 
Also, it definitely needs to be noted we opened the series with Ricky’s “talking head” confessional about how he’s going to win back Nini after what happened before the summer. When he approaches her (maybe a little too confidently) he has absolutely no idea she’s dating someone else. So everything she claims about him “only wanting her because she’s with EJ” is, well, not true.
Even his voicemail was like “listen I felt like we had a moment but if this is crossing a line or not something you agree with, it’s cool just forget it” which is like, super respectful and consensual? 
Like homie hasn’t really done anything that wrong! Just a confused kid from a broken home trying to figure out love for the first time in his life. EJ over here stealing phones and deleting personal private information and shit. Even when he has a trusted family member telling him he’s acting wild. Unacceptable yall.
In this house, we go hard for Rickini.

Some important things we learned in this episode: 1. Ricky and Nini have known and been friends with each other since kindergarten. (also I love how the line “Remember in kindergarten when you’d meet a kid and know nothing about them and then ten seconds later you’re best friends?” made Ricky automatically think about him and Nini since that’s what actually happened with them) 2. Nini was Ricky’s first crush. 3. Nini’s real name is Nina and Ricky is the one who gave her the nickname Nini in kindergarten because he couldn’t pronounce his a’s. 4. Ricky’s real name is Richard and Nini is the one who gave him the nickname Ricky in first grade. 5. Ricky also microwaved Nini’s barbie that year. 6. He took out her lemonade stand doing a wheelie and 7. In fourth grade he ate her science project about moldy bread. (why would you do this Ricky?? lololol) 
I don’t know about you guys but the fact that they’ve known each other practically their entire lives and that they grew up together and have all this history and memories together makes me love them all the more. They are literally the cutest!!
