I might have to write about this. Holy.

"There was a version where he [Miles] made himself visible and they [Miles & Gwen] had a Goodbye scene in person but this is more heartbreaking. Way more heartbreaking." - Chris Miller

I'd like to think it went down like this

Yall we missed out on some great expressions bc of their masks

[intellectualambassador]

Yes! It's been awhile since I watched the show in its entirety, but I did go through some scenes yesterday cause I was missing it and I guess afew years gave me some perspective.

Yeah I don't think we misunderstood the triangle - I think the argument that we all made those years ago for Maya/Lucas and by extension Riley/Farkle and Lucas/Riley was that you can care about two people equally, but not in the same way.

Saying that Maya only liked Lucas cause of Riley is somewhat disingenuous because there's so many things that happened before the whole love triangle thing even began: their banter, Lucas standing up for Maya and her art, tombstone and that whole saga, etc. All of those things were unique to Lucas and Maya.

One of the only reasons why we're lead to believe that Lucas didn't like Maya is because Lucas didn't get a chance to EXPRESS his feelings towards Maya because she shut him down due to this idea that she had become Riley...

It just wasn't true.

She had just changed and grew like a normal teenager because of her friend's good influence - much like Shawn did because of Cory's influence in BMW.

As for Josh/Maya - I also agree. Josh was never around and when he came around he inserted himself into a situation without having the full details. Of course he wasn't going to know the full situation and on top of that, his bias towards Maya colored his ability to be objective.

Overall, I disagree. The love triangle was a plot device they used (albeit somewhat unsuccessfully) to display what happens when you aren't honest about your feelings and how that affects your relationships, the consequences that can come by allowing people to tell you who you are/aren't and the importance of speaking your truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

Just my 0.02 cents.

*cracks knuckles*

Alright, I may get shot down completely for this but I think most of the Girl Meets World fans COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTAND the love triangle.

Now I know that sounds like an exaggeration but trust me with all the posts I've seen about it, it very much is not.

All of the people saying lucaya should've been endgame are 100% missing how the love triangle happened and even the end results, which were that Maya and Lucas didn't even like each other in that way.

The entire triangle stems from Maya's identity crisis where she loses herself and becomes more like Riley, and when she becomes like Riley she starts to experience Riley's feelings for Lucas to make sure he's good for her. And because she's becoming like Riley and also Riley saying her and Lucas are "siblings" (they are not), Lucas starts liking Maya as well.

The whole resolution to the triangle is Maya refinding herself and realizing that she never liked Lucas romantically, and Lucas realizing that he likes Riley, always has and always will, and he only liked Maya because she was Riley at the time.

And at the end of the day it doesn't even matter, because the real point was to show that no matter what they go through, Riley and Maya are still best friends and will always be best friends and will always be there for each other.

Also I feel like I should mention how Josh fits into this because that is also a thing that people get wrong. Josh isn't the bad guy in this situation, and Maya isn't wrong to like him. Three years isn't a very big age gap, especially when Maya is much more mature than her age would typically be. And Josh isn't a groomer for saying he'll wait, either. I know some people have big issues with that, but to me it's a really sweet and smart way to go about things and not any kind of evil or irredeemable action.

(For the record, I'm not anti- any of the ships here. I'm not anti-lucaya, anti-joshaya, anti-rucas, or even anti-riarkle. I don't care what you ship, I just want people to understand this story and why things ended up how they did in regards to these ships and characters)

(Also for the record, I am open to this starting a respectful discussion in reblogs/comments, but please keep it respectful and don’t turn this into any kind of flame war)

Remember how hard Pavitr cried when this happened? Me too, bro. 😭

I'm going mad with this ghostflower scenario I thought of that I seriously hope we might see in Beyond

So towards the end of Across, Miles' suit gets badly ripped by Miguel and we even see blood on his body, from several places even (kudos to an animated "family" movie for going there, that's usually considered forbidden). Unless Miles somehow gets a change of clothing from his counterpart, I'm guessing he'll still be wearing the torn suit a while into Beyond? Now imagine the angsty scenario that whenever he and Gwen reunite and they have a quiet moment of talking between them, somewhere along the conversation (likely at a point when Miles is starting to open up to her and accept her attempt at the apology) Gwen won't be able to hold herself from letting her hand run over his wounded shoulder, her eyes just tearing up with hurt at the blood, her fingers caressing directly on his skin. Add the obligatory wince from Miles as she accidentally brushes a wound a bit too close and she jerks her hand away and apologises even more, the first tears breaching her eyes. Miles may have a pained smile and tell her it's okay, "you didn't give me these wounds" or something, Gwen answers all quietly "I feel like I did."

(Or tell me a better line, idk, I'm getting the scenario across at least ^^;)

hrrghhrgh someone want to write this into a oneshot or something feel free to do so, I'm dying over here

I commissioned @tikklil from Twitter/Instagram again to draw 42 Miles/42 Gwen based off @bloody-writing's fic Tonight You Belong To Me. This fic is the reason why I ship them so hard, so I think it's only fitting that I commission fanart inspired by this fic as a thank you. Hopefully, I can do some more commissions based on this fic because there are scenes that I really think is worth seeing illustrated. So fingers crossed. (As a disclaimer, I did get permission to post the commission here.)

Some late night Miles and Gwen sketches ✨

Don't watch the mouth, watch the hands.

Anyone can wear the mask. You could wear the mask. If you didn’t know that before, I hope you do now.

for @spidaerman, happy birthday, Helen!

There something so highschool about Gwen and Miles' relationship, and I don't mean that in a negative way. The intensity of first real love, when you're old enough to know what it is but not old enough to know what you're doing. The messing up, the fumbling, the pining, the ugly mistakes. The purity and sweetness, the honesty, where you feel there is no one else in the universe quite like this (and you're young, you haven't seen much of the universe, but that doesn't make it a lie). The kind of love that comes with impossible odds, because how many people do or should marry their first love? You're doomed by statistics, by the stretch of growing and straining out of youth. But you believe it will be you, you believe you are the ones who will make it work. Despite everything. Because after all, there's a first time for everything, right?

I commissioned @tikklil from Twitter/Instagram to draw Miles and Gwen at prom! I love their art a lot, so when I saw that they also do commissions, I HAD to take the opportunity to take a slot. And I'm so happy that I did! I showed them the idea, and they made it 1000xs better. I'm blown away!! Also, I was given permission to post the commission here on Tumblr, so I hope you guys like it too!! :)

Ghostflower/Gwiles Fic Rec List

Hi everyone, wanted to repost for all the new members of the community with the digital release of AtSV. I've compiled a list of 92 Gwiles/Ghostflower fic recs. It's got a mix of fluff and angst, with short and long fics and pre and post AtSV fics.

For those who have already seen this list, I've tagged all fics by word count so that you can sort by length (Ao3 does not natively support sorting by length for bookmarks). I've been adding bookmarks as new fics and series have been coming out, so you might find ones you haven't seen before.

My top 3 picks for those just getting started are:

Waking by awakening5: While not AtSV compliant, this fic absolutely nails the characters involved. A little smutty, but those scenes can be skipped. Brilliantly paced and so extremely satisfying.

I Don't Care Which Earth I'm On (As Long As It's With You) by FlyingSpaceDonut: An in progress novelization of BtSV. Probably the best of the BtSV novelizations so far, with a lot of fun ideas.

Miles/Gwen Shortfics by ianmalcolmreynolds: A bunch of excellently written oneshots for the two. Some angsty, some fluffy, some in between.

Hope this helps!

hold up.

does anyone have any fics recommendation for ghostflower
