One last dance...

"chad and ryan are not the main characters of hsm and they only have like 5 scenes together total in all 3 movies" okay maybe to you. to you? maybe. but to me tho? everything is about them.

[hsm-dumbhcs]

Some chyan headcanons:

most people think they became friends during that summer at Lava Springs, after the baseball game and Ryan became more inmeshed with the general student body

it's true enough, kind of.

they weren't friends during junior year, before all that shit went down with Troy and Gabi and the school musical, but they were something

they hooked up a few times during Darbus's detentions, backstage where no one would ever find them and once in the rafters while they were supposed to be painting the top bit of a set

it didnt mean anything. they didnt talk about it. it just sort of happened numerous times. they were both totally chill about it and Chad definitely didnt spend many nights by himself, thinking about what it would be like to not be so lonely. Ryan didnt either.

the first actual night they spent together was after the infamous baseball game, and at some point lying in the dark, tangled up in each other, Chad admitted he didn't know why they hadnt done this before.

"No beds backstage, and we were on a timecrunch. Besides, you wouldn't have said yes if I invited you over."

once they really became friends, Chad spent most of his friday nights at Ryan's, even after senior year started.

it was only a little bit about sex.

Chad eventually confessed that Ryan was his queer awakening. Ryan refused to believe him because he knew he wasn't the first guy Chad had fooled around with.

it's true though.

sophomore year Ryan became the mascot, and the first time Chad saw him take the head off Ryan was drenched in sweat and his hair was sticking to his forehead. Chad went home that night and dreamt about it.

he did hookup with a guy on the track team, convinced that his fixation on Ryan was a fluke.

it wasn't a fluke.

Ryan knew about track team guy not because Chad told him, but because he also used to hook up with the guy and he saw some rather incriminating texts on his phone.

junior year Chad kissed Ryan first, but only because Ryan egged him on.

"If you dont want to chat, Danforth, maybe you should find something else for us to do."

yes it was because of the texts, no he didnt think Chad would actually do it. he was pleasantly surprised though.

after the game it was also Chad who initiated, although it went a little differently.

"I'll do the show on two conditions, Evans. One, you go out for baseball this year. I don't care what your sister or anyone else has to say about it."

"And the second?"

"Take your pants off."

over the course of senior year, everybody kind of figured there was something going on with them, but it wasn't confirmed until the morning after prom. they all shared a handful of hotel rooms, except Sharpay who fucked off to god knows where, and Ryan who specifically got his own room to get away from the eventual chaos.

and Chad, who was of course the exception to the rule.

Zeke woke them up the next morning for brunch, and Ryan (in an attempt to be helpful) tried to cover and say he slept on the floor, obviously there was nothing indecent going on.

Chad, from under the duvet, announced that Ryan was a terrible liar because not only did they definitely have sex last night, it had been going on awhile, and also Chad was very bisexual and anyway they'd be down for brunch in half an hour.

he made a similar speech at brunch minus the duvet and specifics regarding the sex.

everyone was chill, though money did exchange hands. Kelsi was miffed they didnt wait until after graduation so she could win the pool.

they're happy together.

so incredibly happy.

thinking about the way chad looks at ryan ... SHUT UP HE ADMIRES HIM SO MUCHHH ☹️☹️💕💕

[hsm-dumbhcs]

Forgot I doodled more Chyan stuff earlier

[hsm-dumbhcs]

someone else sees the vision

So technically the first Chyan moment could've been in the opening number to HSM2 where Chad passed Ryan the basketball and instantly took it away from him

That look of horror on Ryan's face? It turns into attraction guys IM TELLING YOU

[hsm-dumbhcs]

I rewatched HSM2 recently and this is still my favorite song of all time

[hsm-dumbhcs]

[hsm-dumbhcs]

atta boy, atta boy.

[hsm-dumbhcs]

The finale ✨️

[hsm-dumbhcs]

need everyone to understand that ryan is an evil gay bastard. he may be a couple steps more moral and polite than sharpay but lets be real he wants to stir shit and manipulate people........need more ryad fics where he's like this and chad is the flustered and nervous one because it CANNOT be ryan

[hsm-dumbhcs]

Definitely not my favourite thing I’ve drawn but I figured I’d still post it

[hsm-dumbhcs]

Genuinely, why did this edit make the "touch me while your bros play GTA" song better??

[hsm-dumbhcs]

Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

I thought about hsm for my 4th day of pride, each day I'm going to try to post something for pride. So please give me more ideas don't be shy!!

[hsm-dumbhcs]

Why, in a movie all about singing and dancing and finding your true self, was the gayest scene people playing baseball?

[hsm-dumbhcs]

It is so funny when Troy was like “Oh no! Ryan is flirting with Gabi!” Like Troy I’m sorry your gaydar is so bad but he is NOT flirting with your girlfriend.
