#The TBirds

[littlelesbianintern]

I imagine all the tbirds are extremely protective of Cynthia. Their relationship is very fraternal so I picture it almost in a ‘we can make fun of you but if anyone else tries it they’re dead’ kind of way. like one time when they were children some other kid tried to make a joke about Cynthia in front of Shy Guy and now that kid avoids him at all costs and has done so ever since. there was once a guy who was really into Cynthia (not that Cynthia noticed) but Gil and Potato gave him a shovel talk that scared him so much he never actually tried to ask Cynthia out again. Richie was once dating a girl who made a comment about not liking Cynthia because they don’t act like other girls and Richie dumped her on the spot. and that’s why no one has ever made any comments about the fact that Cynthia dresses very masc or rides a motorcycle or how their personality is just very butch/masc in general because its an unspoken rule that you just don’t.

I love these boys. It goes to show that even guys need to have heart to heart, even when they cover it up with bravado.

And God...

Richie and the his declaration just throws them off and how he doesn't try to cover it up... He can't.

And the way they comfort him...

Best. Fucking. Boys!

I strongly believe that if Cynthia were to come out to the rest of the pink ladies/T-birds, Lydia would be facing A LOT of shovel talks. Obviously the pink ladies' would be absolutely terrifying but I like to think that while the T-birds would try to be intimidating, they would fail terribly. Probably because they're debating if they can give their usual shovel talk to a girl (since theyre in the 50s. . .)

And perhaps Im writing a fic about this happening>:D

Re: Johnathan Nieves as Richie Valdovinos

If y’all don’t stop spreading false, unconfirmed rumors I’m gonna pull all my hair out 😭😭 there is no way an actor who quit the show would actively promote it, for one thing. For another, y’all have to remember that the show was filmed during a time when the pandemic restrictions were heavy. It’s entirely plausible that he simply got sick in the middle of filming episode 8. In fact, I would bet money that something came up in Johnathan’s personal life that caused him to have to miss those few scenes.

As for 9, it makes sense that Richie wasn’t there: there is only such much time to focus on each character; and Richie’s biggest conflict is that he wasn’t there to do anything to stop Olivia or talk things out with Jane or make things better OR worse with Buddy/ the school in general. We cannot expect them to reasonably showcase every character with their own plot lines every single episode. The conflicts between characters (or within characters) did not actively need Richie’s presence to push them along. I’d argue that the conflicts were more intense with his absence. Jane’s realized that he’s the boy for her. Jane was able to get well deserved closure with Buddy without worrying he’d oversee/overhead and overreact again. Olivia spiraled so fast and so hard that she is engaged to her gr**mer.

Are we forgetting that Hazel was absent the first two episode? Or how Susan played only a small role in earlier episodes but slowly her backstory has begun to be filled in?

The show has 10 characters that are central to the plot, we cannot expect ALL of them plus the secondary characters to be focused on each episode.

In conclusion, y’all need to chill the fuck out, for serious.

Richie, come home, your sister needs you!!!

I’m watching the newest episode (7). Why does the first T-birds song have to sound like Disney. The second one was chill, but goodness was that first one weird.

The Seattle Thunderbirds have Luke Prokop, the only openly gay hockey player in pro or semi-pro hockey right now, but they chose not to hold a Pride Night this year. So fans said fine, we’ll hold our own.

Luke promoted it on Instagram but because it was unofficial, I didn’t expect anything from the players.

Except.

Every. Single. Player used Pride tape in some way for warmups. ALL OF THEM, stepping up in a way grown-ass men are afraid to do.

(Yes, that’s Dylan Guenther)

Several of them kept the tape on either their stick or socks for the entire game, including their goalie, Thomas Milic (who grinned at my kids shaking a huge Pride flag at him and flashed them a peace sign)

A couple more pictures under the cut, including Luke himself

THEY’RE GOOD BOYS, BRENT

#and I say that as a diehard fan of their division rival #Seattle Thunderbirds #Luke Prokop #Dylan Guenther #Thomas Milic #I couldn't get a shot of Milic's stick but the handle was wrapped #Tbirds won too! So the gays just keep winning ig #I hope homophobes are crying about it #lucas ciona #jared davidson

Thoughts on Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies so far:

- by far the best thing to come out of this show is the idea of a tiny masc lesbian on a journey to become a t-bird. Cynthia my baby

- olivia baby you are a victim. someone get that grown ass man away from her

- i appreciate the way they’re keeping the camp of the original but leaning into some of the deeper topics of the time

- I love that this show has diverted away from some common tropes. like Jane not dating Buddy in secret. like it was so nice to see her know her worth

- “your future is not more important than mine” fuck yeah

- richie has such golden retriever energy. Looking forward to some more characterisation for him but I love him so far

- 🩷 Gil & Olivia 🩷 him carrying her books for her, helping her put her jacket back on <3

- MORE NANCY PLEASE

- glad Wally broke up with whoever she was. Definitely deserved better.

- GET HAZEL A PINK LADY JACKET NOW

- torn between buddy/hazel and Wally/hazel - both are cute.

- also I would like to shake the hand of whoever cast baby frenchie i almost choked how did they get that so perfect

- also all the parallels to the previous films are amazing it’s so nostalgic

Just a thought...

So I know we haven't had a drag race yet, and I would just like to say that technically, we have met the leaders of the future Pink Ladies, Frenchy and Rizzo but WHAT IF, when we finally do get to see the race, that that is where we meet the future TBirds?

Like, imagine Gil and Richie getting ready to race, or just walking around, checking out the competition/cars and they see two boys, a few years younger than them, looking over their signature TBird car? 

Walking over, they greet them make a few comments about their jackets, talk cars, tell them that they are part of a group from Rydell High and when the warning for the race is about to begin, they introduce themselves before parting ways? 

Richie reaches out to the dark haired one. "Im Richie." 

"Im Daniel. Daniel Zuko." They shake as Gil steps forward, twirling keys on his fingers.

"Names Kenickie." The other one would say, still looking over the car. "Who's wheels are these?

"Mine. I'm Gil." He calls as he opens the door, sliding into the drivers seat. "Back up guys. I gotta race to win." Richie would watch as they back up and wave over at Potato and Shy Guy to where they would meet up to watch for the race and its then Danny taps Kenickie on the shoulder when he spots the Pink Ladies walking through the crowd looking gorgeous in their matching jackets and points to them. They gawk, they cant help it.

"Who are they?" Kenickie asks as he and Zuko watch as the other TBirds join up with them. Cynthia would joke around with the guys, Nancy just being intense and full of colourful flair..

"They're the Pink Ladies." Gil says as he pops a stick of gum. "Rydells very own girl gang." They joke around, the girls smile and keep walking through the crowd but two of them look around before locking eyes with em. Jane smiles and winks at Richie who pops his collar while Olivia looks at Gil and undoes her neck scarf to be the flag girl and gets a revved engine out of Gil who returns her flirty smile. Zuko and Kenickie look from them to the TBirds who now seem to stand a little taller.

"Bet they'd be some fun action." Kenickie jokes as he nudges Zuko with his elbow who laughs with him.

Gil revs the car again cutting him off and when Zuko and Kenickie look back at Richie and Gil, gone are the easy going guys. They have a harder look to them, a non verbal warning.

"You think that you guys would have a shot with them?" Richie would sound doubtful and joking at the same time.

"What's to say we don't?" Zuko tossed back looking between them.

"Have a shot?" Gil laughed, looking at Richie who shook his head and pulled out his comb to run it through his hair. "Hey Richie, what's that old saying Shy Guy had when he boxed?"

"You're punching above your weight." Richie supplied and when they didn't seem to get the reference, he simplified it. "They are in a different class than you guys."

"Meaning?"

"You ain't TBirds." Gil states slipping glasses on as cars begin to coast and take positions.

"So?"

"Pink Ladies are OUR ladies. TBird girls. They ain't easy like cheerleaders, you gotta work hard for 'em." Richie looked back at Jane, took a deep breath and let it out. "But damn are they worth it."

"So to get girls like that, we gotta be TBirds?" Zuko asked as Richie hopped in to hitch a ride. He'd hop out when Gil got close to the starting line.

"That's right." Richie nodded, propping his foot up and rested his arm on his upraised knee. "But not just anyone can be a TBird. You gotta earn the jacket first. Then you earn your Lady."

"How do you get a jacket?"

"If your serious about it, come to Rydell and find out." Richie stats as he put on his sunglasses. "Let's go, Gil. Danny, Kenickie... be seeing you around."

Zuko and Kenickie watch as they drive off, looking bad ass. Richie gets out after giving a good luck tap on Gil's shoulder and the side of the car before hauling it to where the gangs are. Zuko watches as Richie sides up to Jane and put his arm around her shoulder while she snuggles up a little to him. Gil gets a smile from Olivia who takes her place to flag the race.

They cheer and freak out in typical TBird fashion when Gil win the race and pulls Olivia over the driver door for a victory kiss.

"We gotta join up with these guys." Zuko would say out loud and Kenickie would nod in agreement.

"Defiantly."

If I had to choose my favorite T- Bird, it is 100% Potato. He’s kind, he’s loving, he’s hilarious, he genuinely wants the best for the people around him. His funny friend act is rooted in a desire to make everyone feel good around him. He doesn’t seem to treat women in the same manner as Richie or even Gil (who, yes, admits that he acts that way out of anxiety, but still).

I love him. I hope whatever he decides regarding Nancy, he goes about it the right way (ie literally communicating because what is with this show and not letting people finish conversations).

I think he and Nancy would work well together, as seen in the Halloween episode, if that is what they both want.

Just look at that grin 🫶
