ways i’d like nick danforth-evans to become canon or to be acknowledged by canon
- actors who look incredibly similar to chad and ryan play two characters called chad and ryan
- corbin bleu and lucas grabeel play nick’s dads but their names are never mentioned
- corbin plays nick’s dad called ryan and lucas plays nick’s dad called chad
- julie goes to nick’s house and sees a framed photo of chad and ryan and says “oh, do you like high school musical?” and nick goes “what? those are my dads.”
- nick’s dads have written c + r in a heart somewhere
- nick drops one of his fedoras and the name ryan is written inside. when questioned, he says it’s one of his dad’s old ones
- nick straight up says “my dad’s names are ryan and chad and they look and sound like ryan and chad from highschool musical”
- nick just mentions he has two dads and then sacha carlson looks directly into the camera and winks
So, having watched season 4 (with tears in my eyes) I'm quite sure that there won't be a 5 season.
And honestly, I'm ok with that. I think the finale did really well even if it raised a few questions which could be answered in a fifth season. But I don't see them doing it.
You know what I need everyone to know about?
David Raum, Joshua Kimmich and Robert Andrich adopted a bird during the Euros 2024. It lived in the training camp with them. They called it Ringo. It was yellow with black feathers on his head. They got it some other birds as company. They got it a loving home with one of the workers from the camp. They named their whatsapp group after him and still talk about him apparently. I can‘t stop thinking about how fucking cute this is, the euros 2024 were truly magical
Gosh I love them so much, can't believe I missed that.
Also a Nine Percent Reunion in the Year 2024 !!! I miss them all so bad will have to rewatch IP now.
NINEPERCENT GROUP LIVE ON WEIBO (zzt wzy wlk)
theyve talked about getting linong, chengcheng, justin and zhangjing on too (no other two but i guess i was expecting that…)
they sang a bit of mack daddy and started talking about how they never actually recorded it (CRIMINAL)
linkai complimented zhengting’s ep <3 and his long hair LOL
zhengting is complaining about justin rejecting his live request NDJSINFUHSNJ jiazheng in 2024 bless (“hes sleeping”)
“happy 6 years” DEAD. IM DEAD.
“bro i miss you”
talking about the last day… eating hotpot and drinking…
“do you remember the house the nine of us lived in? i miss that time so much”
DOING THE NINE HANDSIGN BUT ZHENGTING IS LAGGING SO HES NOT DOING ANYTHING (OK HE DID IT)
every time they say “the nine of us” my heart feels like exploding
“if we’ve changed, it’s only that we’ve gotten older”
“we changed clothes together” (linkai to ziyi) NPC LORE IN 2024?
“hello i’m zhu-zheng-ting” THEY ARE STILL CLOWNING HIM. AFTER SIX YEARS
why is zhengting eating a cucumber like a banana
“if its still the three of us next year im leaving the group chat”
“the next time we meet we should do an offline live”
branching out
SO excited for this!!!
Tom Glynn Carney and Phia Saban on how they approach playing siblings/married couple as Aegon and Helaena
"you are the only person in the world who understands me and went through the same thing as me but we can't find it in ourselves to be there for each other"
1.) They don’t just live in each other’s personal space … they have 3/2 two floor suburban home with a white picket fence.
2.) Criston’s aware that - the now - Lord Strong is creeping on his girl … and he don’t like it (and neither does she)
3.) When she’s going completely off the rails, the first person she turns to for comfort and support is Criston.
4.) Lord Commander Westerling is noticing how close and too complementary Alicent and Cole are together.
5.) When she’s in danger, Criston runs - RUNS - to her
5.) He has to be held back multiple times and Lord Westerling has to call him out for being too protective of Alicent.
6.) When Rhaenyra and Daemon stare them down while comforting Luke, they cut to Criston and Alicent comforting Aemond together - the dueling couples.
Half of the Dark cast being in the new Disney+ Show - Sam ein Sachse, really took me by surprise. But I'm not complaining, good to see them again 🥰
you know what i loved about IP?
at the start, the episodes were just showing how hard everyone was working and the struggles all the trainees were going through
but towards the end of the show, every episode was a 3 hour long meme-show with cold-jokes and stupid ass puns and bromances with shade being thrown left and right and people exposing each other all the time
like even zhang pd was getting in on the ‘huba’ train, bu fan x xiao gui daily violence, cai xukun x wang ziyi x zhu zhengting love triangle family with their son qian zhenghao, zhu zhengting and his actual kids the yuehua sprouts, you zhangjng x lin yanjun couple goals, everybody loving xu shengen, everyone acknowledging that zhu xingjie is such a well-rounded artist and so much more
MEME FACES ALL AROUND THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT OUT
everyone genuinely supporting and hyping each other up in the waiting room?? like have you ever seen such a rowdy bunch of kids? every time there’s a performance based episode it was literally 5% rehearsal, 1% performance and 100% screaming
ghost pranks?? fat suits?? zhang yixing being a little shit and coming up with that idea to swap mentors just for reality show content??
all of that behind the scenes and interview content that was apparently uploaded but you had to go searching to the ends of the earth to find?
everyone going to extraordinary lengths to help people out even if they were in another team? everyone was always so focussed on working together as a team and making sure they succeeded together
people being genuinely devastated when their friends are eliminated and promising to keep in touch afterwards?
it just shows how close everyone was after four months of training together and i don’t think i’ll ever watch a survival show again because i’ll never get the genuine joy that i had watching IP anymore
as much as it was a survival competition it definitely didn’t feel like it and that in short is why i love IP so much and prefer it over any other survival show that i’ve watched
