YOU GUYS

LAST NIGHT I SPENT LIKE 2 HOURS WATCHING EJ CASWELL/MATT CORNETT EDITS ON TIKTOK AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED

I HAD A DREAM WITH HIM, SOFIA WYLIE, AND JULIA LESTER

I don't remember exactly what happened, but we were like a group and were ✨troublemakers✨ but the fun kind. People hated us because we always laughed really loudly or had fun out loud

I also had a hUGE crush on Matt, and for some reason he was wearing his Gaston costume (don't ask me)?? but it was fine because when i hugged him it was like hugging a soft pillow who's a little taller than me. But HEAR THIS I had this huge crush on him but I also kinda shipped him and Sofia (ig i was projecting portwell bc i don't ship them irl) and also Juj shipped both me and him and him and Sofia?? So like????

We also uncovered mysteries about toxic waste spills and Hamilton was there working to clean up the toxic waste spill?? Matt and I asked him about it and he said it was aliens

Then Matt and I went back all confused, then my irl best guy friend showed up to tease me with Matt and then he left (that's the only thing he's good for tbh)

Then I waited for him inside but now he was wearing a cowboy suit- yk the one

and he was arguing with his parents but :0 the police discovered we were investigating the alien toxic waste spill and put us in jail for it

but we still held onto hope because Sofia and Juj were still out there

then i woke up bc i was late for school

overall 10/10 dream, incredibly strange but at least it had a plot :D

Gina told Ricky in the flashback that she doesn’t do anything right the first time. When she confessed her feelings to Ricky she didn’t flat out say “I like you” instead she beat around the bush and said “I wouldn’t quit on us if I wasn’t moving” which could be easily taking as she meant it platonically not romantically. In 2x08 Gina describes E.J. the way she describes herself in the flashback because they both try to do the right thing which gives me soulmate energy.

I don't think there was any way for Ricky "Actually prove to Nini that I'm not a quitter at this so she realizes I'm not a quitter at us?" Bowen to misinterpret "I wouldn't quit on us if I wasn't moving away" as being platonic. She said it to him in a private setting and was clearly very emotional and having a hard time getting the words out. When he said "Say it", he knew what was coming next.

The difference between the 2x06 confession and the 2x12 one, in terms of Gina's character growth, is that she doesn't need this big lead up in which she avoids saying how she feels for as long as possible anymore when she asks EJ if she can kiss him. Gina finds it terrifying to talk about her feelings. That's why she calls herself stupid for crying when she's trying to confess to Ricky and why she takes so long to get to the point. During S2, she grows a lot, to the point where when she's confessing to EJ, she only briefly hesitates ("Can I...") before putting herself out there in one clear sentence. That's a testament to her huge character growth over the course of the season!

Another big difference between the two confessions is that Gina is still taking full control over the conversation in 2x06, while in 2x12 she puts her feelings out there in the form of a question, leaving space for EJ to answer. Which, again, shows how she's more comfortable with putting her feelings out there now. With Ricky, she told him how she felt in the same sentence where she tells him it can't work out cause she's moving away, and then she tells him she's gonna give him a tight hug and walk out with her head held high. She doesn't even really leave room for him to tell her how he feels. All she's doing is telling him how she feels before she leaves. Mostly because she doesn't think anything can happen between them, but I think part of her is also protecting herself from potentially getting rejected. With EJ, that's no longer the case. She already knows he likes her back, but she still asks him if she can kiss him (twice). She makes her feelings for him clear and gives him room to either reciprocate her feelings or reject her. Again, that shows huge character growth for Gina!

I totally agree that Gina describing EJ the same way she describes herself bodes well for them as a ship. 2x05 set up that Gina is looking for people who just get her. Her describing EJ the way she describes herself tells us that she feels EJ is a person who gets her. He's the kind of person she's been looking for all along. She's found friends who get her in Ashlyn and Carlos, and now she's found a romantic partner who gets her in EJ.

new quiz y'all! worked on this until 4 am lol. reblog and tell me, what kind of supervillain are you?
