‘ i have one thing to say to you. get ready because i'm coming after you this time. ’

‘ have you been drinking? ’

‘ i don't know how to tell you this... ’

‘ you're my best friend... but if that's not enough.. ’

‘ maybe we could have dinner tomorrow night? ’

‘ i want to scare him so bad he doesn't ever think of doing this to someone else. ’

‘ hey, you might want to chill... he's a little old for you.. ’

‘ i hear you're quite the basketball star. ’

‘ i'm happy. i'm really happy. 'cause he's dead... 'cause he's gone for good. ’

‘ i'll change seats if you don't shut up. ’

‘ that's the first smile i've seen on him since you left. ’

‘ when i'm offended you know you've really gone too far. ’

‘ you honestly think i would go out in public with them for thirty bucks? ’

‘ let's get some sleep because tomorrow's going to be a long and wonderful day. ’

‘ you leaving was a huge wake-up call for me. ’

‘ you can't stand being around me. ’

‘ you know what you want... so go for it. ’

‘ i hate him, { name }. i hate him so much. ’

‘ it's really hard, pretending to be something you're not. ’

‘ you sure you're not having doubts? ’

‘ we talk on the phone once in a while but yesterday was the first time i've seen them in months. ’

‘ you should do exactly what it is you want to do but make sure you graduate from school first. ’

‘ you're looking rather radiant today. ’

‘ so when are you guys going to have a kid? ’

‘ really, could you two be more meant for each other? ’

‘ i want my friends back and just standing by is not going to make that happen. ’

‘ i still can't sleep without my light on. ’

‘ there's a rule. the youngest you can date is half your age plus seven. ’

‘ you know, for a second there, i thought you were going to ask me out. ’

‘ you're really pretty and anyone who tells you different is blind, or jealous, so just tell them to shut up. ’

‘ hey, i know things look bad but we got to keep going as if the wedding is happening. ’

‘ wow. you look exactly like your mom in her high school photo. ’

‘ stop being a baby and get ready for the wedding. ’

‘ so... the dance. are you still going solo? if so, you're not anymore. ’

‘ the whole squad was great... but you totally stood out. ’

‘ { name }, c'mon... i can't leave.. ’

‘ you sure you're not having doubts? ’

‘ we've discussed it and we definitely want kids. ’

‘ you've been in her shadow for how long? isn't it time for you to step into the spotlight? ’

‘ wait a minute... did you just talk to me without saying twerp or dweeb? ’

‘ lighten up. we had fun. ’

‘ someone warned me about him once and i should have listened. ’

‘ it's so loud out here. you want to go someplace a little more private? ’

‘ if this is going to work then some things have to stay private. ’

‘ i'm not saying never, just not right now. ’

‘ i knew coming here was a mistake. ’

‘ the gym looks amazing. i can't wait for the dance. ’

‘ someone's in a good mood... ’

‘ i thought that maybe we could get out of town tomorrow. ’

‘ sometimes people don't want the whole truth. ’

‘ where am i going to go, huh? where am i going to go? ’

‘ you heard him. he made where he stands very clear. he doesn't want a kid right now. ’

‘ it's my wedding day and the groom has disappeared. ’

‘ we're totally over-dressed. ’

‘ how does information travel in this family? oh, that's right, every which way except from you to me. ’

‘ why do you even bother? i'm just a big, stupid loser. ’

‘ you don't have to invite me to your dumb party. ’

‘ i'm the king of this school and you're my queen. ’

‘ don't touch me. don't ever touch me. ’

‘ remember a certain someone you dated last year? it seems he's still in love with you. ’

‘ you'll always be the most important person in my life! ’

‘ i'm not dating anyone. ’

‘ life doesn't wait for you to get adjusted. it happens. ’

‘ what do you know? you talked to him for five minutes. ’

‘ we need to talk but we are not doing it here. ’

‘ i've seen the way he looks at you. he still likes you. ’

‘ i'm having a party tonight at my house, do you think you can make it? ’

‘ look, my business, my problem. i'm fine. ’

‘ you've stopped blaming yourself. ’

‘ i haven't had this much fun since... well, i haven't had this much fun ever. ’

‘ i know it's not good for me but it tastes like... happy! ’

‘ no one is "fine" after losing someone. ’

‘ someone's in a bad mood. ’

‘ i can't believe i'm actually getting married tomorrow. ’

‘ you've just been thrown for a major loop. you've got to cut yourself some slack. ’

‘ you didn't tell me you were back in town. ’

‘ what's this? i go away for the weekend and you invite the whole school? ’

‘ we do stand out but that's good. ’

‘ the pain's going to catch up to you. ’

‘ your dad? you saw your dad? why didn't you tell me? ’

‘ so much for us "being one," huh? ’

‘ i was thinking about getting my belly button pierced. ’

‘ just because { name } and i are dating doesn't mean things between us are going to change. ’

‘ he hurt me and no one in the world seems to be able to do anything about it. ’

‘ we don't want anymore kids right now. end of story. ’

‘ the mysteries of the universe are infinite to me. ’

‘ something happened to you. ’

‘ we've known each other since junior high... ’

‘ some couples would think of this as a blessing. ’

‘ what you did changed my life. ’

‘ come with me. we'll watch out for each other. ’

‘ your love brings tears to my eyes. ’

‘ are you sure you don't want popcorn? ’

‘ i know you guys had a date, and i know he never called you back, and i know you're jealous. get over it. ’

‘ isn't this the part where we walk home together and are best friends again? ’

‘ { name }, are you mad at me? did i do something wrong? ’

‘ you two don't have the best relationship? ’

‘ if i were to disappear, who'd care? what would it matter? ’

‘ give them some of your world famous attitude. show 'em who's boss. ’

‘ summer's over, i'm back from summer camp, and now you won't ever get away from me. ’

‘ this isn't about your parents or my parents, this is about you and me. ’

‘ i'm out of here. tonight. ’

‘ no, i mean... my dad, he would never have let me have you over like this. ’

‘ it wasn't until later that it hit, that they were dead. ’

‘ it wasn't what i thought it was going to be. i kind of thought it'd be beautiful or something... ’

‘ i wanted him to want to be with me. ’

‘ there must be a mistake. i've never lost anything in my life. ’

‘ i know how much this means to you... but i'm sorry, you didn't make the cut. ’

‘ someone's in love. ’

‘ i think i owe you a dance. ’

‘ how does it feel? to find your one true love? ’

‘ call me romantic but i always imagined my first date ending in a kiss. ’

‘ can i be honest with you? you and { name } getting back together? the stupidest idea i've ever heard. ’

‘ you know, that kind of sounds to me like you're pregnant. ’

‘ i've never liked anyone like this before. it's weird. ’

‘ i love being around you... just not all the time, okay? ’

‘ we don't all have rich parents who'll just buy us whatever we want. ’

‘ if you really love her then why change her? you should love her for who she is. ’

‘ you and me? we'll always be friends. ’

‘ tell her i miss her, okay? ’

‘ don't you have enough to worry about right now? ’

‘ you're funny, but you're intelligent too, and you're just wasting it by always being the class clown. ’

‘ there you are! i thought you left without me! ’

‘ you've been gone forever! ’

‘ i keep trying to forget... but i can't. ’

‘ is it so wrong that i've finally found someone i care about? ’

‘ people can change. ’

‘ we would have fun on a date, guaranteed. all i need is your phone number. ’

‘ you can't tell your dad about us meeting, alright? ’

‘ it's hard to believe there's a baby growing in there. ’

‘ you never stop surprising me, { name }. ’

‘ one day, when a guy likes you, you'll understand how this works. ’

‘ it's all about knowing what you want and then going for it. ’

‘ have you ever heard of knocking?! ’

‘ i got myself into anger management and i've gotten better. i've gotten a lot better. ’

‘ you don't think i should go, do you? ’

‘ i don't think you should talk to her anymore. ’

‘ this is so not the time to talk to me. ’

‘ you were paid to go out with me? ’

‘ sometimes it's like you and { name } are the couple, not you and me. ’

‘ they say we're the schools hottest new couple. ’

‘ i wanted them gone, so why am i crying now that they are? ’

‘ how long are we going to pretend like nothing happened? ’

‘ i know, it's not a real date but i want to wear something you'll like ’

‘ this is turning out to be one of the best days of my life. ’

‘ my mom's having this party and i was wondering if maybe you want to come along? ’

‘ you want me to add anything to this grocery list? ’

‘ what { name } and i do together is none of your business. ’

‘ you... you dance like a wounded polar bear. ’

‘ has my rep declined to the point where a loser like them thinks they can ask me out and get away with it? ’

‘ how could you not tell me that you're pregnant? ’

‘ i'm ready to talk. well... as ready as i'll ever be. ’

‘ i know what you found out it beyond weird but it's not the end of the world. ’

‘ you get, like, whatever you want and i can't even afford... anything. ’

‘ you remember that invite i gave you? well, it was sort of a mistake. ’

‘ i couldn't tell everyone where you went and why. ’

‘ me and you, we're not mom and dad, right? ’

‘ you don't have to worry about that, alright? ’

‘ i know this sounds awful but my parents were wondering if maybe you wanted to come to dinner. ’

‘ i'm so sorry about my parents. what did they say exactly? ’

‘ okay, so you're pregnant. it's nothing to be ashamed of. ’

‘ it'll never happen again? is that what you were going to say? 'cause that's what you always say. ’

‘ are you ever going to tell me what happened with you two? ’

‘ well, it's a lot different here, i suppose. huh? ’

‘ i just can't understand how it happened. i mean, you're on the pill. ’

‘ this is my school and i don't want to see you or talk to you again. ’

‘ i had no idea you had a crush on someone. who is it? ’

‘ what happened to going to the doctor after school? ’

‘ that's why i love you. wait- no, no, not 'love' you, just... like you a lot. ’

‘ you here to steal another one of my brilliant ideas? ’

‘ fun? you think what you did to me was fun? ’

tori stands on the steps in front of degrassi community school, heart racing. it seems bigger than before. it's much more intimidating after her time away. she holds her backpack straps tightly and steps forward.

however, as she moves to take a step, her shoe catches on the bottom of one of the concrete stairs. she braces for impact.

i do not require you to know anything about my muse's canon, but i'm more than happy to tell you about it if you ask. i'd be happy to write canon muses against your ocs! also, mixing fandoms is 100% ok with me unless your canon muse is problematic and makes me uncomfy. my canon muses do not have all their memories or relationships from their life unless we plot it, but they will have the same general personality/ambitions.

Muse: Eli Goldsworthy (S10 based cause that's where I'm at in my rewatch)

Open to: M/F (bisexual!! Also sorry I do not ship eclare)

Plot: :)) there's obvs something between your muse and Eli but he's struggling over the Julia thing

" Good things don't work out for me and I don't want to ruin our friendship. I killed my ex. I don't deserve you." He couldn't let go of the accident with Julia. The fight replayed over and over in his head and the next thing he knew she got a call she was hit by a car. He was always going to blame himself. " But I don't think I can be just friends with you. Maybe we should just do nothing."

Open to: M/F

Wanted Connections: Lover/Teammate/Jock

It was the last day of cheer camp and she couldn’t believe it was coming to an end. Her senior year was finally here and it seemed like it had only taken ages to arrive. “Thanks girls. Let’s get ready for a wonderful year, and let’s hit the showers!” Jenna yelled. She grabbed her pom poms and her duffel as she made her way towards the gym and into the main locker room. The room was strangely empty and the lights were all off. She turned them on only to be startled be a yelling of “Surprise!”, along with a cake and balloons. “I can’t believe you did this for me.” She said with tears in her eyes.

[maya-matlin]

since we're apparently among the only three people here who don't dislike Zaya...1. why do you think people have more trouble forgiving Zaya for their flaws when basically EVERY Degrassi ship is messy, flawed and complicated?! (Not judging anyone - we all like what we like, and things resonate with us for different reasons, I just find it interesting that people think Zaya is too toxic to forgive while some other Degrassi couples are objective just as messy and even more so) 2. Three Zaya scenes you love that show you they're meant to be? 3. Any songs you associate with Zaya? 4. Name three things Maya and Zig have in common and three differences they have that balance each other out! 5. Want to start a Zaya Appreciation Society with me? We can all share ice cream ;)

There are actually a solid amount of devoted Zaya fans. They're just harder to find. There's a reason I stick with Tumblr. Other places intimidate me and aren't worth the drama.

1.) Personal preference? Other than that, the existence of Campbell Saunders. Just as Zaya's potential romance was picking up steam and forming the foundation for their eventual relationship, Cam killed himself. Zig was the last person to speak to Cam. Regardless of Zig's intent or that during all of their interactions, Cam was the aggressor and the one who initiated all of their conflicts, the only thing the majority of Degrassi fans remember is that Zig pushed Cam over the edge. It never sat right with many viewers that Zig wasn't held more accountable for Cam's death or that Maya was so blasé about Zig's "confession". The writers' intent was clearly to send the message that no one is responsible for a suicide or anyone else's actions. But at the same time, you should still be mindful of others because you never know what's going on in someone else's head. Plus, I don't think Zig's character took quite the trajectory that some fans were expecting. He was supposed to have "learned" from Cam's death, meaning there was an expectation that he'd come away from the experience wiser with an acute awareness of how to navigate situations like this. It turns out, that never really happened. Zig tried his best and meant well, but he continued to be careless with words and was often in over his head. Zig also went on to feud with Maya's next boyfriend, Miles, where he was much more combative and kind of a shit starter. Miles was written with more care than Zig and quickly became the preferred character out of the two starting with season 14 and Next Class. So retroactively, Zig = bad, Miles = good. And lastly, a lot of people can't overlook cheating, even in fiction. While I take the stance that while I hate it, fictional cheating happening in teen dramas is highly likely, others felt too betrayed to continue supporting their relationship. Just overall, different people come away with different interpretations of characters and couples. In my opinion, Miles was far and away Maya's worst love interest and could have never made her happy in the long run even if they were both in heathier mindsets. Comparatively, I think Zig complemented Maya very well, offered constant emotional support and more often than not communicated well with her. Maya never seemed to be as happy with any guy as she was him once they were finally together. Others will tell you Miles was a great boyfriend, most of the things I just listed, and that Zig was a mediocre love interest.

2.) That's super tough to narrow down. I feel like I'm doing this wrong, but..

(1) Zig comforting Maya after Miles screams at her, reassuring her that he knows that she means well

It's the softness for me. It's how after the confusion with the season 13 love triangle and Zig being resistant to Maya's help, he gets it. He's here when she needs him the most. It's funny how for some, Maya and Zig getting together in the second half of season 14 came totally out of nowhere. But even though I didn't expect it when the season was airing, looking back it's very easy to see what was developing and how they were getting closer and closer each episode. Even though the Maya/Miles relationship lingered and Zig could have potentially gotten together with Zoe, those romances didn't pan out. To me, this is when their season 14 arc officially begins.

(2) Zig and Maya making up backstage

Yes, they were fighting and Maya was frustrated with Zig for trying to handle the gang on his own rather than turning Vince in, but he realized on his own (with the help of Damon) what needed to happen. We didn't see the full scene, but Zig clearly apologizes for their earlier conflict and for not initially going to the police. Maya is so forgiving and so prepared to forget the whole thing happened. Like she said. "You're here. We're together." That's literally all that mattered to her. No matter what happened, she was going to stick with Zig. No one can convince me that Maya Matlin wasn't equally and 100% as in love with Zig as he was her.

(3) Zig trying to cheer Maya up

Post bus crash, Maya was in the darkest place she'd ever been in. She was slowly losing all of her personal connections. At this point, it would be difficult to say Zig and Maya were even friends anymore. Their relationship ended in a very painful way with Maya still angry with Zig even months later. They both almost died. Zig entered a very public relationship with Esme. While they had occasional moments where they interacted that reinforced their connection, (in 302 when Zig asked Maya for advice about Esme), overall Zig wasn't part of Maya's life and therefore missed a lot of her warning signs. But, he did notice her on the verge of breaking down in the hallway and instantly knew something was wrong even if he couldn't have imagined the extent of it. So, Zig basically gently forces Maya to open up to him about what's going on. He knows she's struggling with something and isn't happy anymore, so he decides to cheer her up. This is Maya's first genuine smile the entire season. Every other time, she's either faking it or indulging in darker interests that only serve to trigger her more. And Maya clearly feels all the feelings in that moment. Yes, it's easier with Zig and he reminds her of happier times, but it's also very obvious how much she's still in love with him. This isn't technically part of the scene, but in the next episode Maya makes it a point to ask Esme to take care of Zig for her. The only other person we see Maya explicitly request be taken care of after she's gone is her mother. So, it says a lot about the depth of Maya's love for Zig and how much it would mean to her for him to be taken care of after she's gone. Anyways. Zig makes Maya happy and instinctively understands her.

4.) Ugh, I'm the worst at song questions.

It Might Be Love - Latch Key Kid (played during the first time they went to The Dot)

Oh My Love - Layla (played when Maya kisses Zig in season 14, kickstarting their relationship)

The Words You Say - Harrison Storm (played at the end of #YesMeansYes)

Lover - Taylor Swift (I know I'm basic, but it's their song)

5.) Three things Zig and Maya have in common.. they're both loyal, protective people and never afraid to fight for what's right, particularly when it affects someone they care about. I'll count that as two. It's honestly tough to find similarities, as weird as that sounds. They just match each other's energy and tend to be on the same wavelength. I'll say they're both pretty laidback. In spite of the fact they find themselves pulled into drama (especially poor Maya), they typically don't go out of their way to create it. Sometimes certain rivals will bring out that side of them, but overall they're chill people.

As for the differences that balance each other out.. Zig is the more sensitive one. He has a way of being quietly supportive and intuiting things while Maya internalizes a lot of her emotions. She's so desperate for nothing to go wrong that she almost avoids reality. I honestly think Zig grounds her a bit and forces her to be honest with herself. While both have good hearts, Maya is more compassionate and quicker to forgive. Even though it would sometimes be easier to lash out and the people wronging her would 1000% deserve it, Maya avoids conflict for the most part. Zig has never met a physical conflict he didn't want to throw against his locker. He means well, but he struggles with his anger from time to time and can't help but want to defend. Sometimes he's defending himself, other times he's defending the people he cares about. Maya provides a calming influence and encourages Zig to find better, healthier ways to handle his problems. This is so hard LOL. I feel like that's it? Who Maya is and who Zig is and how they interact with each other makes them an unusually good match. This is awful. I apologize.

5.) Absolutely!
