#cynthia x lydia

[edge-of-the-end]

possibly my favourite thing about the rotpl finale is getting confirmation that lydia already knew she was gay. cynthia was going through such a time, and we finally know that lydia was actively protecting herself and in control of the whole situation. the rehearsal kisses? she instigated that with the knowledge that it wasn’t two straight girls, because she clocked cynthia from the get-go and still offered to kiss her for the play, because it was no commitment. she couldn’t be abandoned because the play already had a strict deadline. when cynthia ran away after the pre-play kiss, and avoided her at the dance, she knew she’d gone too far, and that she’d have to pull away and not talk to cynthia so that she could maintain the boundaries that would protect her from heartbreak again. the whole situation gains a whole extra layer because while cynthia might not have had the words to express who she was, lydia did, and the words were deviant and invert and sick, so of course the poor girl, this seventeen (maybe sixteen?) year old girl knew that the world wasn’t safe for her. despite all this, cynthia pulled it back. everywhere lydia hid behind behind femininity and long hair and theatricality, cynthia stuck out like a sore thumb, short haired and feisty and so butch without even knowing what it was, that overtness represented that hope, that the bit of lydia that was hiding could be a little freer. the glances that we see when the teacher suggests more rehearsals can turn into the active looking for each other that we see in the finale because that’s where the balance is, and it shows lydia that cynthia will never deny her. she will see her in public, around her friends, and will say she loves her to nancy, and that is what lydia needs. she spends so much time acting as these characters that she is virtually never herself, and in the hall of mirrors, surrounded by her own reflection, she gets to see that being who she is, a young lesbian in love, might be worth it. that the girl in the mirror, kissing cynthia, can exist and be happy.

Lesbians flirt so weirdly like what do you mean “I’ve studied your gait, you walk like a neurotic pigeon” just say you’re in love with her and go

#The way they physically cannot get close enough as they kiss even though there is literally no space between them already and how Lydia stands on her tiptoes even though she’s already taller than Cynthia and how she wraps her whole arm around Cynthia’s neck to try to get as close to her as possible

(And yes I felt obligated to gif all three angles because they're all amazing and I couldnt settle for just one)

I hate hearing people talk crap about ROTPL being "too woke"

Do they not realize that POC, queer people and feminism existed in the 50s? May have had different names for them back then but they all existed.

I'm irritated.

Director said "take five"

They heard "change lives"

i was REALLY hoping for a little closure this episode, but in lieu of that, here's cynthia and lydia reaching to protect each other when the fireworks go off in episode 5

A brain worm I will expand on eventually: Lydia is deathly afraid of Cynthia’s motorbike and vehemently refused to go anywhere near it until Cynthia pointed out that Lydia holding onto her when they rode is probably the closest they would ever be able to safely get to public displays of affection and she begrudgingly made her peace with it

#Lydia is a cuddly bitch #and you cannot tell me otherwise #she might be terrified but she would do anything for snuggles #cynthia x lydia #cynthia and lydia #grease rise of the pink ladies #rise of the pink ladies #grease #rotpl
