Rise of the pink ladies headcanons! (mostly pink ladies & t birds)

- The pink ladies have a sleepover every Friday night. So do the t birds. One time they were both at the Valdovinos house. It was chaos

- Nancy takes closing shifts at the Frosty Palace so Cynthia and Lydia can have dates

- Olivia and Hazel like to read together

- Nancy makes Frenchy and Betty pink ladies jackets when they enter high school

- Olivia and Cynthia knew each other before the pink ladies. They would hang out sometimes when the t birds would brush Cynthia aside. They weren’t close, but they were familiar with each other

- Jane and Gil bond over being Tired Older Siblings™️ and their sisters’ antics

- Olivia and Richie teach Jane Spanish

- Potato got his nickname when he ate a raw potato on a dare in middle school

- Shy Guy and Cynthia go on friend dates all the time

- Little Danny thinks Shy Guy is the coolest guy EVER

- Gil LOVES romcoms so much. His sisters watch them all the time and they make him so happy

- Nancy is somewhere on the aromantic/asexual spectrum

- This is probably canon, but Olivia and Richie are twins

- Jane and Hazel have study sessions together

- the t birds teach Jane and, grudgingly, Susan, do drive

I haven't been able to stop thinking about the line in Take the Wheel, the one about the mother-daughter brunch thing. And I just.

So Jane reinstates it, obviously. Like she wouldn't bring it up in a debate about the things she believed should be fixed if she wasn't intending on bringing it back. So a letter gets sent home with a date and time and dress code and all that jazz. And four things happen.

Mrs. Valdovinos remembers very clearly when Cynthia's mother disappeared. She remembers the food she brought over, the hand-me-downs Olivia had outgrown that she packed in a box and sent with the kids, the hair-braiding she did whenever the girl spent the night. She remembers the wave of relief she felt when she saw Cynthia in the group of girls that whisked her daughter out of the church. She knew the note went home with her as well and she knew there was no woman in that house to read it. So she makes a decision.

Mrs. Nakagawa doesn't know Cynthia that well. She knows her by her usual order at the diner. She knows her by her short cropped hair and boyish clothes. She knows her by the smile on her own daughter's face; a broad, genuine thing that didn't exist with her old friends. She knows her by the gossip that surrounded her when her mother ran off. Small towns, y'know? Nancy brings a note home, and she makes a decision.

Mrs. Facciano doesn't entirely know what to make of Cynthia Zdunowski the first time she meets her. She was unladylike and brash, unkempt and uncouth, and she learned somewhere along the way that she had started the flashing incident. She made a slightly off-color comment to her husband one night that whoever this girl's mother was, she wasn't doing a very good job at controlling her. Francesca must've overheard and told Jane, because the next morning her eldest scolded--actually scolded!--her about what she said. And she learned that, though Jane did not know all the details, the girl did not have a mother, and hadn't had one for a long time. So when Jane comes home one day, talking about her plans to bring back the mother-daughter brunch, she makes a decision.

Mrs. Robertson doesn't approve at all of this "girl-gang" business Hazel had gotten herself wrapped up in. But she does approve of the characters of the girls involved. They appear loyal and loving and strong. They are exactly the type of people her daughter needs in her life, and she approves very much of the way they support Hazel and how much they're brought her out of her shell. But she is a smart woman, and above all, she is a mother, and so she keeps a very close eye on these girls and what they get up to. So it doesn't take her long to find out that the one with the boy hair, the one who got Hazel on that stage in the play, came from a single-parent home. So when the school sent a letter home about a brunch, she can think of only one way to thank her, and she makes a decision.

The day arrives and McGee has countless women wandering in and out of her office in the hour before the brunch is set to start, and she's almost worried the PA system is going to fry itself out with how often she and her new assistant are having to fire it up to call girls down to escort their mothers to the buffet set up outside. She's a bit taken aback when Mrs.'s Valdovinos, Nakagawa, Facciano, and Robertson simultaneously (and separately, if the startled way they look at each other is anything to go by) ask for Ms. Zdunowski to be called down with their own daughters. It's a bit unorthodox, but, well, what isn't with those girls?

Cynthia doesn't cry over it. She might tear up a bit, but she doesn't admit to crying when she walks into the office, wondering what she did this time, and instead finds her friends' mothers, who hug her and kiss her cheeks and compliment her skirt and take her by the hand to lead her to the tables outside, decorated for something she didn't expect to have.

Cynthia Zdunowski is loved by many people. By the Pink Ladies, the T-Birds, the Thespians (one in particular, more so than the others). By her dad, most of all. But she hasn't felt loved like this in a long, long time.

(Maybe she cries a bit. Sue her.)

Please sign this petition to #SaveRiseOfThePinkLadies

Willow started releasing episodes weekly in November, and at the end of May it was removed from Disney+. It no longer exists to stream legally. We are campaigning to bring back the show to legal streaming, but also to get the volume 2 and 3 Disney+ and Lucasfilm promised us. Willow is a sequel to the original 1988 movie of the same name, and perfectly keeps the same energy and feeling of the original. Willow is a fun but dramatic diverse fantasy and had an amazing main lesbian couple (with swords!). One of those lesbians is the first official lesbian Disney Princess!

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies starting releasing weekly episodes in April, and in late June it was announced that Parmount+ was not only cancelling the show but removing it from their platform on June 30. Paramount+ at least is willing to sell the show to a new platform, we are currently campaigning for another platform to purchase the show. ROTPL is a prequel to the original Grease movies, and tells the origin of the Pink Ladies gang. It's got fun and drama and it's a musical! It has a diverse cast of characters, and includes a lesbian romance (they're thespians for all the theatre nerds out there).

If you like sapphic stories in television, even if you didn't like the shows or haven't watched them, please consider signing the petitions to help us out, and use the official hashtags #SaveWillow and #SaveRiseOfThePinkLadies on all platforms (especially Twitter) to help boost awareness about our wonderful shows. And if you like musical lesbians, go stream "Crushing Me", "Merely Players" and "All In" from the Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies soundtrack.

It doesn’t even matter if I particularly cared for a show I’ll always be devastated for the fans of any show that gets cancelled. I understand that there’s financial reasons as to why a show may not be allowed to continue but at this point streaming platforms need to be asking themselves why is it that they’re cancelling all these shows? If they want a hit show it has to be given time to grow and develop its audience. And then regardless of that fact, people who have invested their time in a story deserve to see its completion. It’s so undeniably evil for corporations to continue to axe shows without warning not just for the fans of the show, but for everyone involved as well. The emotion and heart put into these pieces of media is always so visible and it’s soul crushing watching an industry throw it away. Fans and creatives deserve to see stories told with a complete arc because otherwise why are we bothering with these streaming platforms?

Shout out to rotpl for having one of the best opening scenes of a show ive seen ever, like even if you exclude the buddy and jane scene before the song we get SO much exposition in those 3 minutes or grease is the word and it all feels so natural

Here is my list of everything you learn just from watching the grease is the word scene

We meet almost the entire cast

Learn "brainy janey" is dating buddy aldridge

Buddy is popular and jane isn't

Buddy used to date susan or at least susan likes buddy

Susans friends seem to barely like her "susans going to be crushed.. i better go tell her"

Nancy's interested in fashion

Nancy's friends are interested in boys while she isnt and views fashion as more important

Olivia and Richie are siblings

Olivia hates her peers

Olivia was being punished for something and Richie had to convince their parents to let her come to the drive-in with him and his friends

Richie is protective of olivia

Olivia is viewed as very attractive

Olivia had a relationship with a teacher and is viewed as a slut for doing so

Cynthia is friends with the guys

Cynthia is obviously different to other girls as she has short hair, rides a motorbike and wears pants

And just an extra important piece of information

This cast is SO talented

And thats JUST what we learn in those 3 minutes, how did they naturally get all that information in there?? Its incredible!
