I was watching High School Musical with a friend and i said Kelsi and Sharpay should kiss. Then i remembered i had free will and a pen.

“Do you know something about this.” Small person?”

The way Chad didn’t know kelsi’s name so he just called her small person I think about this like three times a day 😂😭

[mouniraa]

just had a dream where it was the hsm cast in a fancy restaurant. kelsi was playing the piano and taylor was standing next to her, gabriella and troy were slow dancing, ryan and sharpay were eating on a table meanwhile chad and zeke dashed out of the kitchen to find a fire extinguisher because the kitchen was on fire. i think this is canonically very accurate.

I've been showing my partner the High School Musical film series because it's a classic and they've somehow never seen it. We're on the second movie and so far they've come to the (correct) conclusion that Ryan and Chad should kiss, Ryan is iconic and they want all his hats, Sharpay is amazing (they like Phineas and Ferb so seeing Ashley Tisdale was very fun for them), Kelsi is gorgeous and adorable and the best character, and have begun shipping Troy/Kelsi/Gabriella as a poly.

I'm so in love with this dork you guys ❤️

Watch What Happens (Reprise)

I just published the last chapter of Watch What Happens, the 39k epilogue to a 10k story! You can now read the whole thing on ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/61517908/chapters/157268809.

In which Chad gets into his first queer relationship, slowly communicates this to the world, and comes to terms with his boyfriend being in Newsies. Also, gay marriage becomes legal in New Mexico.

I like Troy and Gabriella, I'm just saying I wouldn't be able to put down an AU where Kelsi Nielsen wormed her way unassumingly into Troy's heart instead

Ryelsi Shots (Part 4/?)

I only view the movies as canon, so kindly refrain from commenting unless you have something positive to say about this ship.

Kelsi asking “what key?” To Ryan and Sharpay is actually crazy

Ok so if you guys didn’t know I’m playing Kelsi in my college’s production of HSM right now. And I’m actually playing the piano for the role. So I was sitting as the piano and I ask “What key?” Bc it’s in the script.

And Ryan goes oh don’t worry, our accompanist made an arrangement.

I get the POINT of this scene. Ryan and Sharpay are disrespecting Kelsi’s show.

But also. SHE WAS PREPARED TO PLAY IT IN ANY KEY??

ANY KEY??

So anyway snaps for Kelsi? The talent is in the room with us

[dorizardthewizard]

HSM (2006) rewatch pt 16 (final)

16: WHAT TEAM?

Yaaay champions! I like how he actually fakes right and breaks left in the game haha

We don’t get to see Gabriella winning though, but I imagine a scholastic decathlon win wouldn’t look so interesting

AND THE COCKBLOCK COUNTER STARTS NOW! : 1

This will be more relevant in the second movie

And yes I'm going to read too much into Chad breaking them up

Chad: So, you're going with me to the after-party, right? Taylor: Like on a date? Chad: Must be your lucky day!

Smooth, Chad, real smooth. Although I wish we could have gotten some moments of them actually becoming more close because it’s kind of out of nowhere? It's like they said, here’s the black best friend characters. Obviously we should just pair them up, no need to actually develop that everyone should get it.

^ For reference, it took like a few minutes of screentime for us to buy into Troy and Gabriella being into each other, so they really could have squeezed something in like, maybe during their talk when they realised they fucked up? They could have a genuine moment there.

Also quick fast forward but I read in an interview with Monique I think that she had the idea of giving Taylor a Britney-inspired outfit for the last scene, and yeah it's a pretty nice touch! A mix between preppy but also showing her letting loose.

I didn't clock that outfit at all at first though because I'm used to seeing school uniform in my country asdjhsf

Anyway yeah it’s too sudden for Sharpay to suddenly be cool with everyone now, but I don’t really care because they had no idea how big this movie would become and that they’d get sequels so I get why they wrapped that up quickly.

Awww Zeke! You gotta let it go man, there’s plenty of girls out there who will appreciate your cookies. Why does Sharpay reply “ew” to cookies what 😭😭 adding this to my lesbian Sharpay agenda

But Ryan picks them up at least and congratulates Zeke, he’s also wearing red so… supportive? Ok I see you Lucas I see what you were trying to do and I’m sorry Disney wouldn’t let you do it, but I do still find it hilarious how these little moments just get completely overshadowed by THAT scene in HSM2 LMAO

Aww Kelsi looking happy but awkward, same. Looks like everyone had an outfit change! She’s the playmaker! Troy’s like Kelsi fan number one and their friendship is so underrated honestly, he’s always lifting her up. Which must have been crazy for Kelsi, in the novelisation during their first interaction she’s like “THE Troy Bolton is being nice to me holy shit??”

Kelsi’s reaction is so funny though like, yeah I too would be like “Thanks!! Errr what do I do with this now I don’t know anything about basketball? Do I shoot it for fun? But I’ll probably flop and lose the ball, how long am I supposed to carry it for? Can I just… leave it to the side? Put it away I mean they’re gonna need it again? But I don’t want to look like I don’t appreciate it?????” This is what my brain is like during every single unscripted social interaction I engage in btw

Jason noticing her being a bit awkward and helping her shoot the ball is sweet, he’s just like that. Not a huge fan of taking her hat off though, I know it’s like this ooooh she’s letting loose moment but…. she had it on during Breaking Free when she’d just stood up to Sharpay and she was all energetic and confident during the performance, she’s all about her hats let her wear her hat! It comes off as the “oooooohhh this nerdy girl with questionable fashion sense is actually really beautiful if she just presents more conventionally!” trope

And now the final song! I've given up on making passable screencaps

I love watching the extras in this one because they’re obviously professional dancers and they just show everyone up, especially in that bit once the end credits start rolling. Ryan slays in this too, and happy to see Martha freely dancing there! As for the song itself, it’s iconic of course. For my personal listening tastes though, it's just a liiiittle too cheesy and for the kids. That’s what they were going for, with a pretty learnable choreography and all. Which is fine! It’s just not something I’d listen to much in my free time. I’m also haunted by another vine where these guys do a handshake or something and then break into this choreography idk, I can’t find it. Anyway B tier

WILDCATS EVERYWHERE! WAVE YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR! THAT'S THE WAY WE DO IT LET'S GET TO IT COME ON EVERYONE!! 😭

Hahahaha this post-credits scene, what was Zeke even doing just wandering around there aimlessly. Thinking about his rejection? : ( But no one can resist his baking for long!

His smile at the camera is so funny, yeah they never really went anywhere with this Sharpay-Zeke thing in the series so it’s kind of weird they keep throwing in little hints and Zeke still has a crush on her every movie

Aaaaand that’s the movie! This commentary has clocked in at over 9000 words, this is insane.

while sharpay and ryan's version of what i've been looking for was better (at the VERY least less boring), that doesn't mean they should've changed it. it's possible that their rendition doesn't make sense in the context of the musical/with those characters. a musical isn't just about "what sounds good", the songs have to fit with the characters and with the emotion of the scene, and it's totally believable that it didn't align as intended with sharpay and ryan's upbeat version. their changing of the scene is intended to show their (mainly sharpay's) superiority complex, and i think it's more likely that in the context of the film, sharpay and ryan are ignoring the scene and tone of kelsi's musical to show off, even if it makes no sense. i love them, but that doesn't mean they were in the right
