#i love rina sm

Everyone has (rightfully) pointed out “full heart full stop. I love you” to “Guess I'm sayin' I don't not love you” but “I’m staring at the only thing I want” is an INSANE line.

Ricky has always needed in the show. He needs to tell Nini he loves her. He needs to break her and EJ up. He needs things not to change, there was no room for an alternative but love isn’t about need or stagnation.

It’s want and choice, you choose to continuously be with someone. You want to do what you can for them and your relationship.

Ricky didn’t need to fall for Gina, she came out of left field but he CHOOSES to show up for her in seasons three and four, he WANTS to be by her side.

He actively remembers everything she’s said, things she doesn’t remember saying and he assures her about Maybe This Time by saying that’s why harmony was invented, he decorates her trailer with the thirty cents he has, he accommodates her schedule to rehearse for HSM 3: he makes choices to listen and to support her. He chooses and wants them. He chooses and wants her the moment he’s in the mindset to have a healthy relationship . Something no one does. Her mother and brother barely choose her. EJ barely chose her for the entirety of their relationship.

Ricky wants Gina and he wants her to be happy whether with him or without him. whether it’s at East high or when she’s in New Zealand. Whether it’s by the side of somebody who makes him feel a little threatened or by his side, as long as Gina is happy, Ricky wants that for her.

He’s looking at the one thing he wants, and the one thing he started for himself. He got into the musical because he needed Nini. He got back with Nini because he needed stability but he goes and auditions for BatB first, after realizing how Gina wanted him to and second, when he remembers that the musical brought him closer actually to Gina and then he auditions for Kristoff and he wants Gina to be successful so he practices his ass off.

He wants Gina to be happy so he helps her organize a date with her boyfriend.

All Ricky has ever known is people underestimating him. People treating him like a necessity, you know? His mom treating him as though she had to have a son, his dad walking around like it’s a minefield the fact that they have to move meaning treating him as a chore.

Gina is the one person who never saw Ricky as a slacker or skater boy as his whole personality, he wants to keep having that, so yeah she’s the one thing he wants truly deeply wants.



“My mind is screaming. Feels like I’m pulled between my wildest dreams, can’t they all come true?” and Gina later admitting she wanted confirmation that she and Ricky were real is actually so layered.

Gina was thinking of telling her mom about Ricky even before their fight in 404 and the Mack/Terri dinner in 405 but two things stopped her: 1) she couldn’t believe that the boy she wanted so badly and is her best friend wanted her as well (similar to how Ricky felt) and 2) she was afraid her mother would see Rina as a distraction AND destruction of her budding career (“my mom says if you’re not number one, you shouldn’t bother trying.”)

She’s so happy she’s scared Ricky will get tired of the secrecy or that she’ll lose her part in the movie. Gina is used to not having anything to herself, now she has the two biggest things she’s always wanted and is afraid HSM 4 (and by extension her mom) will take so much of her time Ricky won’t want them anymore.

The only thing Gina has known is change and being left behind or leaving something behind. Her brother left her behind. We don’t know what happened to her father. Her mother leaves her behind all the time when she reminds her that “you have to be number one and if you’re not number one, why the fuck are you doing it?”

Her mother demoralizes her, as much as Terri thinks she’s motivating her, she’s demoralizing her child.

The year Gina is allowed to live somewhere full time? she starts to thrive, and it all starts with one person and this one person Terri hates.

She’s terrified that having her mom and her dreams of stardom coming true will come at the cost of having Ricky and it’s something she can’t really see herself actively choosing.

In one way or another Gina has always imagined Ricky in her life since that first time they met on the stairwell so now having to imagine a life where she becomes a big star, but he gets left behind? It terrifies her and for the first time, Gina Porter is allowed to be terrified.

All of these big dreams are happening so fast. I mean Rina has been dating maybe two or three months at this point? I don’t recall if they went to summer camp at the beginning or at the end of the summer so I’m going to assume it’s at the beginning because Ricky says “at the beginning of summer we started dating.”

So she has Ricky and she has her mom and she has now the starring role in less than four months, it’s a lot. It’s a whirlwind and it’s all these things she wants but she doesn’t want them at the expense of her relationship with Ricky and her mom doesn’t seem to understand that, even after episode five when Gina explains it, once again, she’s not being listened to at home.

She’s never been chosen, but Ricky chooses her the way she chooses to go out in the rain and tell him she told her mom. the way she chooses to tell him the reason she didn’t tell her mom wasn’t because she’s embarrassed but it’s because she couldn’t believe she and Ricky were really real. That one of her biggest dreams actually came true.

Gina went from a girl who intimidated everyone (except Ricky) to someone who essentially hid her ambition in order to have friends in season two to someone who’s starting to understand her ambition isn’t bad but she doesn’t have to wear armor all the time in season three to someone who is proud to be ambitious while knowing that she has her friends to support her dreams. And it all stems from Ricky seeing her. Her confidence in not having to choose one dream over the other by the end of the series is due to her boyfriend being her biggest supporter. 

Ricky and Gina have always chosen and seen each other when no one else in their lives has, and that’s why their relationship works.

The first person who sees you holds a special place in your heart, and their love blossomed from seeing one another.

So their love “feeling like high school and forever after that”? Powerful, because that’s where they found themselves and more importantly, each other.
