schneideralverez:

as much as i love elena, penelope, and lydia, I would love to see some alex alvarez appreciation. For starters, he:

• was immediately accepting when Elena came out to him 
• is basically a baseball fanboy
• loves hamilton
• puts a blanket over his head when his mom tries to give him the Talk
• helped organize Elena’s quinces
• is not good at shaving on the first try but learned with his mom
• is a shoe nerd
• learned a whole dance for Elena’s quinces
• has shitty friends but doesn’t act shitty himself
• is a great filmmaker
• doesn’t force his abuelita to retell her story
• has a great relationship with his family, and Schneider
• Is a talented cellist
• Is the first person after Penelope to hug and dance with Elena at her quinces

there are so many more and i love alex alvarez
