HI SO I KNOW THIS ISN’T HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL BUT!!!!

I make sign language covers of songs!!! And right now one of my favorite musicals is Dear Evan Hansen, so I learned how to sign it!! I’d love it if you checked it out, it’s something I work really hard on and really enjoy doing :)

Here’s the new video!!! I signed “Waving Through A Window” from @dearevanhansenofficial !!!

I’m watching La La Land and it’s ok but it could be a lot better!

Ryan Gosling didn’t seem suited to the musical aspects of the role, maybe cast a different hearthrob with more experience in the genre, like Zac Efron

Emma Stone similarly didn’t seem to thrive with the singing and dancing, so maybe cast someone again with experience and heck why not someone with proven chemistry with zac efron.. maybe vanessa hudgens

Maybe if the male love interest was into something a little more relatable than Jazz? Like maybe basketball? 

Female character seemed a little flat, maybe if she was also incredibly gifted with math and science? 

Setting of LA wasn’t particularly relatable, maybe if it was set somewhere universal? Like High School? 

Just watch High School Musical

remember that time in high school musical 2 when Troy got all jealous because Gabriella started hanging out with Ryan and he thought Ryan was moving in on her

and it was like

I’M BACK!!

GUYS I’VE BEEN SO INACTIVE I’M SORRY <3

I promise I’m going to try to be better about posting here. I’ve had so much going on with college and stuff and I can’t guarantee I’ll always be here but I’ll try my diddly dang bestest!

In the meanwhile, I am consistently active on my main blog, @infiniteabbi. There’s not really any HSM, but if you like One Direction, Panic! at the Disco, Hamilton, social issues, and gay, it just might be the place for you! (sorry for the shameless promo!)

I love y’all very very much and I hope y’all still love me!

I definitely ship Chad and Ryan. Like, it’s relationship goals.

high school musical 2s “I dont dance” is a metaphor for homosexuality/bisexuality and here’s why:

in the song, dancing (stereotypically associated with women and gay men) represents same-gender attraction and the more “masculine” sport, baseball, represents heterosexuality. Ryan tells chad “I’ll show you that it’s one and the same” - that being gay is as valid as being straight, and that it is nothing to be ashamed of. ryan is clearly proud of being able to dance

Ryan encourages chad to “swing like him”, bearing in mind ryan is strongly implied to be gay and the word swing is often used with regards to sexuality, ie “I don’t swing that way”

Chad displays a stereotypical masculine bravado, he is clearly trying to impress Ryan, he tells him “I’ve got what it takes… so you better spin that pitch you’re gonna throw me”, while reasserting his definite heterosexuality, he adds “I’ll show you how I swing”

Chad also implies that he experiences gay feelings but represses them. When ryan tells him “You’ll never know if you never try”, chad replies “there’s just one thing that stops me every time”. this shows his fear of social rejection and his own internalised homophobia

as the song progresses this becomes more obvious, chad goes from saying he “doesn’t” dance to saying he “can’t” even though it is clear that he is actually a good dancer while also being skilled at baseball

from this we can guess that chad is bisexual and that ryan is either bisexual or gay, though we can assume his preference lies with men at this point

on top of this there is the obvious underlying sexual tension running throughout the song. they switch between confrontational and flirty; there’s a lot of smiling and eyebrow waggling going on, and when they do dance they get all up in each others personal space

the song ends with ryan falling on top of chad. in the following scene, they are wearing each other’s clothes

So I was randomly looking up facts for High School Musical 2 and

Are you telling me they used up nearly a fifth of their filming time just for Bet On It

[hsm-trash]

A week out from graduating, and just like Gabriella’s miracle of dating Troy came true, the GPA held on <3

When I thought I could keep the 4.0 til graduation

[hsm-trash]

Update: I chose a college but being in charge of my future is still scary AF

Choosing a college be like
