Final round of episode quotes as @look-at-those-niceass-rocks and I finished our final watch party. Once again, the cast and crew are in the house, so @saveourpinks, please enjoy. (You can find previous posts with more unhinged quotes here and here)
Honorable mention from before we actually started, them waking their husband up with: wake up, it's time for me to see gay shit
Second honorable mention, a conversation had while I struggled with my audio:
Them: I tried to show [Husband] Merely Players last night but he was too tired
Me: I can't believe your husband is homophobic
Them: I AGREE
Husband, distantly: I don't deserve this!
(about Buddy) God his shoulders, he's built like a Dorito
(this is specifically in reference to episode 8 but honestly, this was said multiple times throughout our watching) Me: WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH COMMUNISM???
Them: It's the 50s! If it ain't American, it's communist!
Me: I love that Buddy's dad's name is Dick
Them: It was a choice
(In reference to Blandiels) He makes me SO uncomfortable. Like I know that that's the point but he's so slimy-NO NO STOP, STOP KISSING HER, FUCK-!
(roughly three minutes of us screaming over Lydia's Woman Scorned (tm) dress, followed by another three minutes of us laughing at the faces everyone was making when I pause the video)
(about Susan's mom) Me: Heinous fucking bitch
Them: What. A raging. CUNT.
(after we both spent a Hot Minute thirsting over Cynthia dancing on the car) Them: I talk a big game but if I was within five feet of this person, I would be just staring and stammering
Husband, distantly: We know honey
Them: SHUT UP
(both of us wheezing over CGI!Richie)
Cops: *show up*
Us: *John Mulaney voice* SCATTER
Them: NOT THE LINE I'VE LOST THE ONE I LOVE THE MOST AS SHE PICKS UP OLIVIA'S JACKET
Me: They are simply In Love
Them: He's gonna do something stupid, I can feel it.
Me: You don't know the half of it!
Them: He's gonna propose to a teenager!
(okay maybe they do know the half of it, fuckin' prophet)
Me: *reading off episode titles as it starts storming where I am* And this one is called You're Dropping Out of Rydell- thank you dramatic thunder???
(honorable mention, me being unable to tell what was real thunder and what was from the episode)
Them: I'm not emotionally ready for this
Me: Me neither and I've seen it like eight times already
Nancy: *dramatic exit*
Them: She's so dramatic and I respect her and only her
Me: I love you singing along to a theme song with no lyrics
Them: Sometimes I just gotta make funky little noises!
(About Nicholson) I am going to break that man's ball sack with a driver.
Them: It's giving pouty little bitch
Me: Which one? (referring to Buddy and his dad)
Them: Yes
Cynthia: *walks in in Richie's Jacket*
Me: Hello my name is Single and Gay
Them: I am not single but I am gay and I think... I don't think, I have no thoughts, head empty
(About McGee, then the scene transitions to Daniels) Them: The only adult in this school I respect- I AM GOING TO KILL HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS!
Me, wheezing: What about your human hands?
Them: THOSE TOO
(said in the most disgusted voice I've ever heard) Of course he likes Walt Whitman
Them: [Husband], I'm killing the pedophile, wanna help?
Husband: Let's be honest, do you really need my help?
Them: Someone's gotta drive the car.
Them: "Feelings central?" I bet you were feeling sensual when you were making out with Olivia-LYDIA on your couch earlier
Me: ...You good there?
Them: The names are too close
(Face to Face begins) Ah, dramatic acapella is my gender
Me: Once again, love how much you hate Buddy
Them: He's had so many chances to earn my respect and he has done nothing!
Guardian Demon: *appears*
Them: What. The fuck. Is happening?
Me: BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT BABEY
(@ Buddy) Them: He's not a total ding-dong. Just like 80%
Me: He did just thank her (Susan) for having sex with him
Them: ...85%
(About the Red Sox analogy) Cynthia giving me Gender Euphoria with one sentence
Nancy: *talking about love stories, mentions Shy Guy*
Both of us: *Cackling at the full-body never mind Cynthia does*
Nancy: Tell anyone of my vulnerable nature and I will deny it until the day I die!
Them: FUCKING MOOD like I know I was literally also just crying but we're gonna move past that, I'm a bad bitch again
Me: Finale time! Any thought or predictions before we get started?
Them: Leonard gets arrested and as he's being taken away, he gets hit by a semi truck-
Me: What is this, Mean Girls???
Them: Yes! McGee punches the principal in the face and defeats him in blood combat and cements her place as principal-
Me: *slowly dissolving into horrified laughter*
Them: Cynthia gets to kiss Lydia again, which is all I really need to be happy, and terrifying CGI Richie comes back and does the Macarena!
Me: *can't start the episode for five minutes because I'm laughing too hard*
(Ten seconds in) PAUSE THIS I HAVE BEEF THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY OF GETTING MARRIED THAT QUICKLY IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH
(after rant) Me: Yeah but the tensions wouldn't be as high if they had six months to stop the wedding!
Them: ...there are two wolves inside of me, one says valid, and one is formerly Catholic and Upsetti
Me: I want a shirt that says "I have two wolves inside of me, one of them is Catholic" and nothing else
Them: *WHEEZE*
Cynthia: He's just. Some guy.
Both of us, in sync: HIT HIM WITH YOUR CAR
"Old Soul" is groomer for "Fuckable"
(@ Gil climbing in through the window) Me: On the one hand, I'd fold, on the other? Terrifying!
Them: YES!
Me: Although I guess if I had the rapport with someone that they have?? Maybe?? Like good in media, bad in real life.
Them: Gil? Yes, absolutely. Edward Cullen? Fuck no! The two genres of climbing through my window
(after the drag race) YET ANOTHER THING BUDDY DID NOT EARN
Me: Hey, do you have tissues?
Them (afraid): ...should I get some???
Me: Maybe
Them: I don't think I have any in the house???
Me: Ah! You're fucked!
*ten minute interlude of us crying over the Coming Out Scene, discussing what it means to both of us, and how furious we are of future generations not getting to see the best queer rep of our lifetimes if this show doesn't get saved. On that note, sign the petition if you haven't already.*
THEY STARTED BY STEALING A CAR THEY WILL SAVE THE FRIENDSHIP BY STEALING A CAR
Oh someone please hit hi- YESSSSS!!!
(at the start of All In) Me: She (Cynthia) is going to cry
Them: I'm going to cry
Me: I'm already crying
Me: Lydia is stronger than I am I would already be on my knees. (note I use a cane and sometimes a wheelchair, if I am on my knees I Will Not be Getting Up)
Me: Hopelessly Devoted walked so this song could fucking run
Them: I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME THING
Pink Ladies: *Offer Hazel a jacket*
Them: *aggressively close to the mic* That sounds very gay I'm in
Them: I cannot take my eyes off Jane. Like they are all very beautiful right now but there's something about her-
Me: It's the bisexual energy
Them: ...Dammit, you're right
Rizzo: We'll start our own gang!
Them: With blackjack and hookers!
(Introduction of Frankie Zuko) Them: I'm sorry, HUH???
(As credits roll) Me: So, how we feelin'?
Them: Normal, I am so normal, I am feeling so fucking normal about this.
Me: Thoughts?
Them: *incoherent screaming*

Just a lil much-needed queer youth joy - we need to talk about these students and allies in Hawai'i!
Students from Campbell- Kapolei Complex Schools used funding from one of our 50 States 50 Grants to give SO much support to their queer communities.
They bolstered their GSA clubs, held community based education events like a Halloween party and craft day, and even got to attend Honolulu Pride - where Hawai'i-raised Bretman Rock showed up for a surprise visit and marched alongside the students to honor them and their work, having attended the same schools themself growing up!
So proud of these students for recognizing what they need in their own communities.
And lucky for y'all...apps are open for the 3rd season of 50 States, 50 Grants right now through April 1, 2024 - if you're a high schooler or middle schooler in the US/DC/territories and have an idea for how you'd use the funds at your own school, don't miss out on applying: 50states50grants.org
