Honestly OBSESSED With The Fact That Matt And Sofia Have The Ability To Act Out Such Intense And Striking

honestly OBSESSED with the fact that matt and sofia have the ability to act out such intense and striking emotions so perfectly. they literally speak with their faces and their eyes. every single smile, every single laugh, is so genuine and means something beyond what words can say.

ex. 1: when ej does a sweet gesture for gina, sofia knits her brows and acts surprised in the most adorable way.

that alone shows that ej goes above and beyond her expectations and what any guy has done for her before. something so simple has such a strong meaning.

ex. 2: their eyes light up during a close moment.

like during the couch scene or career day in 2x08, matt and sofia's eyes just totally light up. i'm honestly not sure how they do it, but it really shows how happy and comfortable gina and ej are with each other. they give one another compliments and make each other feel safe.

ex. 3: their reactions to the date

wether it's sofia's little walk afterwards or matt's nervous face when ej asks gina out, both portray something so authentic and so real. it fits perfectly with their characters' fear of rejection and putting themselves out there.

ex. 4: leaning in

the way matt puts his arm around sofia and she naturally leans into his touch, like at north high in 2x07 or the shoulder tap at the pizza place in 2x10, is the perfect depiction of 2 people with a friendship rooted in trust. ej and gina both comfort each other and are a safe space from the world beyond.

behind every perfect ship are the perfect actors :D

If you ever want to talk: My tumblr ask is always open.

He knows, without knowing…

Something I love is how EJ knows Gina’s needs without her telling him.

As we all know, because of life circumstances Gina is incredibly independent. Given this, she’s not used to people doing things for her. That’s why gestures like Ricky singing a song for her melts her heart in S1, it’s someone genuinely thinking of her.

Enters EJ.

Not only does he do these beautiful gestures, but they also align with her needs at the moment.

EJ buys her the plane ticket, allowing her to grow roots and form bonds with this group of people that love her.

EJ asks her how she is feeling, at a time where she is not sure if the people around her care (especially Ricky).

Picks her up at the airport, gives her a granola bar, and offers her to bring her back the next day. This comes after an entire day where she’s not only asking for a sign but also reveals that she’s waiting for the right guy to show up.

EJ might not know it, but he has a deep connection with Gina.

He’s the boy that knows without knowing.

[the difference]

r*cky: gina’s gone? time to profess my love for nini through song

ej: gina’s gone? time to buy a literal plane ticket to bring her back

Thoughts when rewatching High School Musical

after being obsessed with High School Musical: the Musical the Series

pretty much just a bunch of parallels i noticed

Mostly how the characters in HSMTMTS match the characters they played with their season 1 arcs with a few exceptions.

1. I knew Chad carries his basketball everywhere, but boy he carries it everywhere…“She thinks I’m a Chad?!?” yeah you did bring a basketball to your audition so you sorta brought this on yourself Eej. He also just has a very Chad vibe I can’t explain.

2. Portwell in season 1 matches Taylor and Chad in just about every interaction they have from Taylor laughing at Chad up to Chad and Taylor scheming to get Troy and Gabriella out of the audition. Very wonderstudies with bad plans that don’t work out but then becoming the ones who go above and beyond to get Troy and Gabriella/ Ricky and Nini onstage for the callback/show for Breaking Free.

3. Troy sneaking through the building running around to auditions felt like a very Ricky move.

4. The only thing Seb and Sharpay have in common is that they deserved the lead and are under appreciated.

5. Alan the kid with the tie, who wrote his lines on his hands in the audition was giving me vibes of the kid who played Coach Bolton and sang Wondering in s2 auditions.

6. Ashlyn is Kelsi. Period. I love wondering for Ms. Darbus but like also it fits Kelsi too. And a Kelsi solo number would be like soooo good. The girl was frequently under appreciated I feel like she deserved it more than Ms. Darbus. Also since they are both songwriters.

7. And Ryan is not the brightest but always there with a funny one liner like Seb or Big Red, idk which he is more like.

8. Balcony scene- it mirrors the portwell couch scene so perfectlyi’m half convinced they copied the script. Also two seasons in and no one has ever gone on the balcony of the school and I want that so badly i don’t even know which couple should get it.

My findings are that Portwell season 1 is like Taylor and Chad and season 2 is Troyella. Almost like the wonderstudies got their chance to play both parts.

Also- How much time spans throughout the movies specifically between auditions and callbacks? Aren’t callbacks are usually within a week of the initial audition? the movie felt like more than a week
