“why didn’t we hang out more in high school?” was obviously just supposed to be a funny line about their tense history of ricky stealing ej’s girlfriends but it honestly made me a bit emotional because like …….. they had so much potential to be friends! the setup of enemies who both like the same girl to friends that are begrudgingly entangled within each other’s lives to an actual genuine friendship because they just care about and understand each other (and then to boyfriends but that’s another post entirely) could’ve been done so well but hsmtmts kept throwing it in the trash just to bring in more stupid unnecessary drama ……….. i guess what i’m trying to say is …. we were robbed!

There is so much to unpack in this one shot, and I love it. (I mean I also hate it because this scene alone made me feel robbed by the end of the season but that's besides the point)
So first off, Matt's arms. I know we were all thinking it. Also his hair looks gorgeous here.
Second point, call me crazy, but EJ 100% just looked down, blushed, and readjusted his shirt with a slight smile. That man is crushing...
Third, Ricky got very physically affectionate in this scene, and we know he doesn't do that with just everyone. Plus, this one's more of a stretch given we can't actually see his eyes, but it looks to me like he stole a glance at EJ's bicep.
And combine all that with the fact it was followed up with:
Art.

shoutout to ej caswell for:
overcoming and moving past everything that happened in season three for his own good
accepting that he was only going to be held down by his father’s unfulfillable expectations and distancing himself from him
managing to work four jobs and go to school but still attend clubs
doing things for himself and not because he feels like he needs to do things to live up to some perfect ideal
being the nerd of his new friend group <3
giving ricky the advice he’s really needed to hear since the past few seasons and guiding him through his problem
(and more or less being the backbone of the show whilst doing it because who knows what ricky would’ve done next if ej hadn’t been there to give him that tough love honestly.)
having a good conversation with gina about their breakup and just going with it when she told him about the movie
listening to miss jenn and honestly giving his take on her situation
for being everyone’s therapist and advice giver this season and just vibing with it the entire way
trying to boost ashlyn’s confidence about maddox, then helping them get together with the tree trunk he carved their names in way back when in season three when he predicted they would get together! our boy sees the future
agreeing to take the role of coach bolton when it was spontaneously offered to him on opening night and still managing to pull through with a great performance
and all in just two episodes!
gonna miss you, elton john caswell, king that you are. thank you for your service.

Idk if anyone else has pointed this out but this season has 4 instances of duets where one person wrote the song and their counterpart jumps in by reading the song:
Gina writes a song, Ricky jumps in
Ashlyn writes a song, Maddox jumps in
Seb writes a song, Carlos jumps in
These are all explicitly romantic pairings then:
EJ writes a song, Ricky jumps in
I can’t look at this pattern and not think that it wasn’t intentional. They knew exactly what they’re doing right??

Holy hell, I can't believe I'm only now realizing their suits are inverted colors. EJ has a blue shirt with a peach/pink jacket and pants, Ricky has a pink shirt with flowers and a blue jacket and pants.
I'm never going to be normal about them.
