#anti Riley Matthews

[starlightsweetheart]

And they say Maya’s the one having an identity crisis, righhhhhht…

🤦‍♀️

[shewhobefuddles]

I've been reading a lot of Lucaya fics lately, and one thing that has really struck me is a lot of writers' shared assertion that Maya never would have forgiven Lucas and it wouldn’t have worked out initially if he had chosen her over Riley, because while Maya could take the heartbreak and continue being friends, Riley would not have been able to handle the jealousy and perceived betrayal (because she feels like she is entitled to Lucas, for a variety of reasons), and both Maya and Lucas’s and Maya and Riley’s relationships would have imploded.

And with what we have seen of Riley's behavior (accusing Maya of turning into her and telling her to stop) when Maya gets good things in her life (passing grades, crush on a nice boy, new clothes, more positive outlook on life, etc.) this seems like a very likely outcome. As much as I would have wanted Riley and Maya to overcome these issues and preserve their friendship, Riley's emotional immaturity, tendency toward jealousy/insecurity, and savior-complex in their relationship is something that desperately needed to be dealt with on the show. Which we will never get, both because the show was canceled and because the writers were cowards who didn’t want to acknowledge Riley's many privileges in life, as well as her flaws.

Riley and Maya's friendship could not have survived Lucas choosing Maya.

Did Lucas realize this? Was that part of why he went along with it when Maya pushed him toward Riley? It seems likely.

All the adults in GMW (and Riley) owed Maya an apology for making her think she “turned into Riley”

Zay (besides Corepanga), carried GMW, change my mind

I’ve been watching more of the iCarly revival and realized that I don’t ship Seddie and Lucaya (from Girl Meets World) for the same reason: the female in the ship (Sam and Maya) are too abusive towards the male (Lucas and Freddie) for my comfort. In the original iCarly series, Sam was physically abusive towards Freddie constantly. In Girl Meets World, Maya constantly put down and demeaned Lucas. Whereas Carly and Riley actually like Freddie and Lucas for who they were.

Love making fandom cishets act up by headcanoning the female characters they use to put down other female characters because they want to validate their shitty het ships in an 'i'm not like other girls uwu' way by headcanoning them as lesbians.Sakura Haruno?A lesbian.Rukia?A lesbian.Lucy Heartfilia?A lesbian.Annabeth Chase?A lesbian.Maya Hart?A lesbian.Barbara Gordon?A lesbian.Whoops,all lesbians!!!

[chronically-unlucky]

You know what would’ve been better than Lucaya?

Maya developing feelings for Farkle because of his new alt aesthetic.

I just think it would be interesting

Title from Death By A Thousand Cuts by Taylor Swift

*for context, Matthew was forcibly changed into a werewolf by Kellington

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Time, My Wine, My Spirit, My Trust

Matthew covered up all of the mirrors in his flat. Not that they really had any use to him anymore, not after he had smashed them all to pieces, broken glass shattered all over his carpet.

He’d been angry when he’d awoken a week ago, so, so uncontrollably angry. Like putting a red cape in front of a bull, angry.

He couldn’t control it, how angry he was, it had just come out of nowhere, completely blindsiding him.

Matthew was so angry that he destroyed everything in sight of him. He ripped up the paintings, destroyed the vases, ripped the pages out of his books.

But his mirrors, those had been the first thing to go.

He couldn’t even stand to look at himself anymore. His face was marred by bruises and scars, bite marks and scratches that slice through his once clear face. They made him look almost unrecognizable.

It wasn’t even his fault that he looked like this, not really.

It was the fault of one man and one man only: Claude Kellington.

A man he had once considered good, whom he had once trusted. He no longer thought either of those things about Kellington, he didn’t think he ever could again.

That man had ruined his life beyond repair by turning him into a monster. A monster who could no longer see his family, his friends, everybody that he cared about.

James and Cordelia had come by at first, trying to get him to open the door. Then his parents. Maybe Charles had, he didn’t know.

He couldn’t open the door, he couldn’t anymore.

Because Matthew was alone.

He was a werewolf now. A lone wolf without a pack.

Tonight was his first moon and he was terrified for the transformation to come. It would solidify his feelings of being a monster.

And he didn’t know if he would survive it.

HI!

I’M THE PROBLEM, IT’S ME!

AT TEA TIME, EVERYBODY AGREES!

[starlightsweetheart]

Someone needs to write a thesis on this, please.

I honestly can’t understand the lack of…(sorry, I couldn’t stop myself) intelligence of Riley and Rucas (and Joshaya) fans and how they can possibly buy into the “Maya turned into Riley” and the “Maya never actually liked Lucas, she only liked him because she turned into Riley” bullshit? I guess it’s because they are stans of the character/couple, and they just don’t care about actual facts:

a) You can’t turn into someone else. It’s not frickin’ possible. People can change, but they can’t turn into someone else.

b) You either like someone or you don’t, it’s as simple as that (and again we’ll emphasize this point: you can’t use an excuse of liking someone because of “turning into someone”, see a)).

c) Trying to manipulate and convince someone to believe that they have changed their personality to become you and insisting that the only reason why they were interested in someone is because they turned into you… that is abuse.

This is exactly what Riley was doing to Maya. Insisting that Maya changed into her, insisting that Maya only liked Lucas because she became her, and that was also the reason why Maya was doing better in school.

Riley was doing that while also showing how low her opinion of Maya actually is: Maya will have 5 husbands, accusing Maya of pulling the fire alarm, accusing Maya of theft (if I was Maya, that would be the final nail in that friendship coffin).

Riley needs Maya to be inferior to her. Riley needs to be superior, it props her up. She can’t have someone from a broken home becoming better than her… and Riley’s absolutely can’t have Lucas pick some lowlife over her.

Also, I wonder if there’s something wrong with the Matthews family, period. Cory likes to take pot shots at Maya and her life… and then we have another gaslighter (and narcissist), Josh Matthews.

Josh loves the idea of Maya pining over him and waiting for him. Having someone fangirl-ing over him gives his ego a huge boost, and he’s not going to let that go. So, instead of using Riley’s gaslighting accusations, he comes up with another bullshit excuse: Maya only like Lucas because she was trying to protect Riley 🙄🤬. This way he kills two birds with one stone. He gets to keep having fawning over any scrap of attention he throws her way, while his niece gets the guy. Win-win for the Matthews.

It honestly makes me wonder the actual reasons of why GMW was cancelled. Was Disney getting complaints from parents over the way Maya was being treated? If I was a parent, I sure wouldn’t want my kid watching a show which was partly based on bullying and manipulating a character, never mind that it was the main character doing the bullying and manipulation.

Thoughts?
