VOID MAASHOUS

Heres why:

Auli'i Cravalho (the voice of Moana) is in it and she is fantastic

Ellie Desautels is a non binary actor who plays a trans guy on prime time tv

Shannon Purser (yes, Barb from Stranger Things) is on the show

My actual queen Stephanie J. Block plays my boy Simon’s Catholic mother

There is a trans character, gay characters, a foster kid, and PoC characters in the main cast

One of the main characters has a sister with Down’s Syndrome

There are so many instances of fantastic representation

They put up short episodes about the characters with less time on the show onto YouTube so you can love them too

The straight couples aren’t annoying

The main teen couple is mixed race

Spring Awakening

hello! i haven’t seen a lot of stuff from jeremy’s point of view, so i decided to try this out. it’s just a very angsty fic about their relationship (and yes, i used the cliché feelings scene. sorry.) enjoy!

This episode had so much in it! I keep thinkink at the words “touch me”. It’s a Spring Awakening song, which was featured in the episode (too bad we didn’t have the chance to see it fully staged, I hope we will in ep 10), but in some way it’s a topic related to many characters, this week - both sexually and not.

The person whos trying to renew this has said once they reach 1000 supporters a news website will cover it! I really want this show to have a second season and Im sure many others do to :)

Anyone who hasnt seen this show you should really go watch it on NBC! It is sometimes considered a copy of glee but I believe this show may have done something similar but they also did something different, and made it way better. (It also has a ship that you will squeal over ;))

This show is about a highschool who puts on a musical (spring awakening!!). Rise I feel like talks about issues similar to the way spring awakening did it. The director gives a really nice veiw on spring awakening and the way the show portrays all these differents kinds of characters is really nice. It makes lots of closeted and repressed people feel like theyre not alone :)

Thank you for reading this little post! And if you would like, please consider signing! It means a lot :’)

I’m trying to spread the word. Sorry for all the tagging 😅 Petition started by renewrise on Instagram!

RISE, this being my review and take on it as a Southeast Asian viewer, is by far the most substantial American television series that is not dramatic (but is about life and drama), is not overdone, is not cliche at all (even if there are a few cliches), and is very relatable even if the problems on the show are just very surface-touched and not truly from my country or tackle my country’s problems, it is still very much a hard-hitter on the feels department and I cried on a lot of scenes and conversations. It is like an actual theatre-centric GLEE but it is not ironically presented and is somewhat resembling that of SKAM but with music, song, singing, and acting. What more can a twenty -something ideal and radical ask for? Please do watch it. RISE has got to be one of the best shows there is right now.

Also, if you’re not convinced, Ted Mosby is a teacher there AND the Theatre Director.

And Moana is currently playing lead of their current play Spring Awakening.

And a lot more great talent, hot guys and gals, and parenthood (for the more mature audiences who still watch shows about high school, angst, and just plain drama to pass the time).

*the show is currently on ep 6*

Jeremy’s not done talking about the kiss.

(alternate ending to 1.06)

~2k, fluff

A full week passes before Jeremy says anything about the kiss.

Which is good, Simon thinks. He’s buried it so far in the back of his mind that it seems to be the only thing he can think about, which is complicated, so not talking about it feels like the right move.

But with Lilette still working extra shifts, practices are still late, and Simon’s feeling a little more exhausted than usual. His feet are dragging and it’s taking him longer to get out of the changing room.

Simon’s mostly aware of when Maashous leaves, because Michael’s gone then too, and Robbie never lingers. But with everything going on lately Simon doesn’t realize who’s left until it’s too late.

When he turns to find Jeremy a few steps away from him Simon doesn’t even have time to think before he’s talking.

“You said you can’t,” Jeremy says. He’s talking quickly, like he’s worried someone else is going to show up any second and he’ll have to pretend they’re not having this conversation, or if he doesn’t say the words fast enough he’ll forget them. Props to Jeremy for waiting so long, really, seeing as he’s increasingly persistent on trying to spend time with Simon. He chose a good moment, at least. Quiet. Less open than a parking lot. Slowly, he inches closer. “Not that you didn’t feel the same or anything like that, but that you can’t.” He’s nearly desperate as he asks, “What does that mean, Simon?”

Simon can’t stop looking at Jeremy’s mouth.

It’s been a distraction since that afternoon. Simon will look at Jeremy’s mouth and forget what scene they’re in. Jeremy will lick his lips before he speaks and Simon’s entire rib cage burns with something Simon doesn’t want to describe as shame.

summary: Simon doesn’t know how to deal with Jeremy. post 1x06

author’s note: so there are a limited amount of works in this fandom i’m trying. drop a comment, drop an ask, drop a request (someone pls talk to me about these messes that are my kids)
