Sometimes it's hard being this correct 😎

[moonmoonthecrabking]

i'm going to go on a big season three bisexual rant because there are no thoughts in here apart from some gremlins chanting "bi bi bi bi"

very happy for redlyn being bi4bi, it's pretty rare to have on bi character, let alone two, let alone in a relationship

i really appreciate that it's a disney+ show aimed at a younger audience giving this representation. despite my thoughts on disney as a Company, at least there are creators within it who are like "you know what? queer rep."

neither ash nor red (presumably) cheat on each other when figure out their respective identities, and neither of them are really portrayed as promiscuous or super popular characters unlike brittany in glee or whomstever in euphoria. not that this is bad at all to be, and if people see themselves in those characters, then that's of course great!!! but having it in this way made me realise there's never been too much "kid-friendly" bi rep (luz from toh predating this by a couple of years), and i am so happy that we're now getting that

ashlyn being "nO I Just Like Her As A Friend" until the fireworks? iconic sapphic experience

her "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND WHO IS MALE" is kinda an examination into comphet and that experience of. well. i've liked men in the past and this is a girl and it's not exactly identical but it's definitely not a friend thing was really relatable to me

and while it hasn't really been confirmed if she's a secular or religious jew (because unfortunately i don't know enough about judaism, sorry!!), it seems that at least a little part of her was struggling with the intersection between religion and queerness. and again, while that's not a lot of people, there are religious people in the queer community and that representation can be really helpful for people who want the best of both world

also??? lesbian (yes i am assuming madmad are lesbians BUT I COULD BE WRONG) AND bi AND gay men representation???? quality content right here.

that being said, there are some flaws. i didn't love how we didn't get to see her come out to her friends or big red. i get that the latter was an intimate moment, but like so was the rina kiss. she mentioned that her "dating pool has expanded" but it didn't seem like she had told anyone yet, until carlos showed up with a pride pin (king behaviour btw).

it seems like the in-universe show is going to out her??? maybe she ended up putting something in the confessionals but... idk the way it was edited was really confusing to me

actually yeah that's really it. i'm so confused about the timeline and people's coming outs. for example, i assumed that when ricky looked at ashlyn for confirmation and she nodded she already knew, but i've seen other people interpreting that scene as her finding out??? i personally would've liked some things to be spelt out more.

just let her have a one-liner next season like "I'm too hot and bisexual for this" it's not that hard???

while i would like redlyn to stay together, i understand that you can't always get what you want. IF they have an amicable break-up then i think that there are a lot of potential fun scenes there!!!

btw ricky bowen? not straight. no way. elton with his storyline may be harkening back to the og trilogy's "gay coded but...". gina and kourtney could be straight but i don't want them to be. and i would love it if there were some aro/ace/trans/enby representation with any new characters!!!

also rip to portwell shippers, congrats to rina shippers. good luck to both of you

[ginaluvr]

the potential of a ricky x gina x nini love triangle if it was a little gay

i’ve never posted about hsmtmts before but let’s start because i’m obsessed lately.

gina knows she’s bi but generally prefers guys

ricky thinks he still loves nini but is actually terrified of change and suppressing his love for gina

nini believes she is straight throughout season 1 but slowly discovers through her second phase with ricky that she can’t make men feel right for her (wondering?? all i want?? THE ROSE SONG?? it’s lesbian coding 101)

after breaking up with ricky in season 2 she starts to subtly own her sexuality (see lesbian coloured outfits) and comes out to kourtney :)

then boom at the end of season 2 she realises it’s gina who she likes

throughout season 3 ricky also pines for gina who is with EJ but… yeah that’s not gonna last i’m sorry

EJ and gina talk it through and come back with the cutest bffs dynamic ever no more awkward forced romance please i’m begging

so now gina has two people in love with her and is totally oblivious to it

she still has buried feelings for ricky obviously but there’s something there for nini too. she knows she likes girls and some of those gini interactions were… interesting

so now gina has two people who used to date competing for her affections

kourtney, ashlyn and EJ are watching from the sidelines. kourtney is team ricky because she doesn’t want nini to get hurt, EJ is team nini because he slightly has a crush on ricky, and ashlyn refuses to pick a side

if i had to choose how it ended gina would end up with ricky because of the development and slow burn and nini would meet another girl who she can write songs for and fall in love with and it would be adorable, they’d all stay besties

but gini endgame would be so epic too <3
