So when we think of Maya Hart our mind is responsible for reminding us that she is Riley's best friend, but even the series knows that she is much more than that, which is why this section will not cover To Riley Matthews because although we love her, there is already an entire series focused on her relationship with Maya.
Headcanons of her with the other characters
In order according to wiki Girlmeetsworld.fandom.com
Katy Hart:
All of her art exhibitions have been specially dedicated to her, according to Maya: “For the woman who has sacrificed my entire life so that I have more than what she has obtained,Mom, you don't know how much I loved you before I could understand you, and now that I do, I love you more than we both could imagine."
Kathy has the main spot in the exhibition and whether or not she will appear in any painting or piece of art, once she started earning enough money to take her mother to ireland
Gammy Hart
Maya loves to Spend time with her and listen to her talk, she always has something interesting to tell her,she shows her memories and doesn't care if Maya checks them from time to time without telling her, she has given him some of her things, her granddaughter takes good care of them, when she comes back from the street she always treats her something To her grandmo.
Shawn Hunter
They do daddy-daughter things, watch TV together (any program the other wants), have breakfast, cook, go shopping, make fun of the fact that he can't help her with her homework, fish, try everything.The things that have happened and will happen for the simple fact that both are growing in the company they always wanted.
Farkle Minkus
Farkle always goes over his speeches with the girls, Riley is always positive, never critical, Maya couldn't care less but she still encourages him to be briefer, clearer, gives him ideas to be less nervous, and summarize a little, He is not ashamed to admit that thanks to the blonde's advice he has been closer to beating Smackle
Lucas Friar
Deep down, Maya is drawn to Lucas' Texan life (as if she had seen Toy Story and had always wanted to Watch the Woody's Roundup). So although she makes fun, she is the most dedicated during her visit to Texas, feeding the horses, taking care of the farm, learning to dance like them, loving what they eat, their activities, Lucas He taught her how to ride and some tricks, and to see if Happiness convinced him that even if the boys couldn't come, he would make sure to bring Maya to Texas.
Isadora Smackle
Maya is Smackle's assistant in science, chemistry and technology fairs and homework projects, why? Because it turns out that the girl likes it...yes, Maya Hart likes those subjects because Fun explosions are best along with 'toys' that work,Riley is her best friend and favorite companion. But with Smackle in a controlled manner, chaos happens.
Cory Matthews
One day Maya arrived when they were going to buy at the market so they recruited her, unlike Riley who aligned herself with Topanga where everything is strictly according to the list, instead on the Matthews side Auggie and her had fun, They can take whatever they want, the cart works as a cart, and the food samples are never enough ,they also had it and from that day on Cory personally made sure that she accompanied them
“Let's go to the market, baby."
Topanga Matthews
Maya loves her outfits, so she got her some. Riley tells her that she wears them at home all the time, and went so far as to participate in school plays just to wear them in public.
Zay Babineaux
It's a little strange to say and understand But the girl is his trainer (Basically she makes him do the same exercises as in school practice, but they have fun together) Furthermore She is like the president of the imaginary fan club and forces her friends to feel the spirit of the moment
“Move him, we're late!!” “And the t-shirts??, guys, don't make me nervous, where are the t-shirts??!" "I've been writing to you all week about them for this?!! “...No way, Friar buy some and make sure they have Zay's number, Minkus Get the camera ready, separate our place and those of the rest, and Matthews... the food is on you”“Listen to me friend, I'm not going to repeat it twice, it's our friend's game, it's our place, our school, and not even your mom would pay to see them, if I were you I'd run away little muscles"
Auggie Matthews
If for some reason the Matthews have to go out without him, Maya will stay with him, and they both love that, Auggie says she is the best Nanny in the world after Mrs. Svorski.
Ava Morgensterns
Maya has practically become her older sister, sometimes Ava's mother asks her to help her with her homework.
Eric Matthews
She and Riley love going to his office and helping him with his important papers. Maya is his favorite secretary since they both consider that they share the same academic neuron.
Joshua Matthews
They begin to philosophize about literally anything (Maya plays, Josh takes it more seriously).
PD:I feel like Maya would be the type that doesn't want to get married, and Josh doesn't see a problem with it, maybe a small meaningful anti-traditional ceremony before moving in together (Not all couples get married Disney,Show that!!!
@freezegirl asked: headcanon question: is there a particular reason why maya fights crime as the blonde beauty instead of coining super[girl/woman/etc] as a name, beyond her being blonde?
( random headcanon questions (always accepting) )
maya went into this knowing she needed to do something to keep herself separated from her and 'aunt' kara. she went into this knowing there'd already be suspicions with a random kryptonian kid showing up, fighting crime. she knew she had to be smart and careful, in some ways at least. so chose to use a name that wouldn't be tied to her family. chose to forgo the 'super' moniker and use a name that would be unique to her and wouldn't have it as easy for her to be recognized as a 'super'. she chose the blonde beauty because, well, as said - she's blonde. and because it felt like a fitting enough name. and it was all done more so to keep suspicions from being raised amongst her dad and the rest of her family, less so than for the general public. that's also why she wears a mask. of course, it's also to keep her secret identity secret. but she has to keep it from her family too, so.
however, maya couldn't deny herself from having at least one little tie to her family, to her father, so that's why the 'b' on her costume in the same font as the house of el crest. thankfully, no one ever seems to catch on.
I basically write for all of the female characters that I wish to see more fanfiction for. In case you wonder if I would write about a character who's not on the list, feel free to send me an ask about it!
I love reading about your ocs, so I’m sending this ask so you can tell me anything about them — their ros, any headcanons etc x
thank you!! 🥹 <333 and ok under the cut for some random facts about some of them sjskssk
keiki fox (infamous)
has the bitchiest rbf but it stops being intimidating as soon as she lights her cigarette with her kuromi lighter
addicted to coffee. loves naps
orion being physically active and being sooo disciplined about it is her worst nightmare but still, one of her favorite things to do with him is hiking. i imagine orion taking her along hiking trails that don’t have a lot of people so they can have a little privacy and hold hands and maybe kiss
andrea chung (infamous)
before seven left the band, fans would ship him and andi and label them as sevandi—even though they weren’t dating—which quickly became 70 because it sounded like seventy. fast forward to relationship stage, og fans brought back 70. andi joked about it once: “well they’re not wrong. you are seven and i’m just a zer-” *seven shuts her up with a kiss*
maya quimby (golden)
she jokingly gifted phoenix a photo strip of herself with a note written on the back: “in case you need a new bookmark <3” but she wasn’t expecting him to actually use it
my personal ship name for phoenix and maya is “lovebirds” because their names are both related to birds lololol
lira kinsley (golden)
lira woke up from a nap one time and heard kaidan meow back at cosmo, her cat.
some of her guitar picks have her initials engraved on it and in the relationship stage, kaidan took one. when lira came over at his apartment, she found it on his desk and was like “is this mine?” and kaidan was like “maybe…” and it was only then that she saw a tiny plus sign kaidan wrote on it with a sharpie so it said “L+K”
bianca chan (merry crisis)
literally has no idea what she’s doing with her life. she’s only studying to get a phd because of her parents. she acts carefree but deep down she’s desperate for her mother’s approval
she has a cat named pepper which she brings with her sometimes when she hangs out with shay. shay calls themselves “pb&shay”
sutton hart (midnight hours)
she’s so in love with life but if she was offered a chance to be immortal with kian, she’d refuse. for her, life is precious because it doesn’t last forever. she’s always been expressive of her love for him, never holding back even once, so she believes that when her time comes and she finally has to rest and leave kian, she’s loved him enough

Okay, besides Greg's, who else's ghosts has Manfred seen? Why didn't he get to see his wife's ghost? You can't do Manny like this Tolp 😔🤌
He's definitely seen Mia, because Mia, it's been estabilished, is a ghost who hangs around and photobombs and confirms important handshakes. And Mia's been trying to walk Phoenix through Edgwroth's trial, which von Karma prosecuted, so von Karma definitely saw her.
Thing is, that AA outright tells you, through both Maya and Mia and if I understood the wiki right also through some SoJ cases that spirits generally don't just "hang around". When people die, their spirit passes on and experiences virtually nothing. Supposedly when spirits are channeled, it is for them as if no time had passed, so a lot of them reacts as if they just entered the afterlife, because only now they have the time to process that they died.
But we also have the evidence of Mia just being around as a ghost, Lotta Hart managed to get her in a photo and all. So ghosts definitely have to exists. But if they did, someone alive from the Fey family would definitely mention that, they'd be taught about this. So ghosts must be really, really rare and/or the gift/burden of seeing them must be even rarer.
So I have this headcanon how ghost-spirit distinction works in the AA verse. Spirit is the immaterial of a being, mind and soul combined (Pearl Fey mentions the existence of the soul and that it can shatter, and she mentions it happening with the wrong usage of the magatama, which when you screw up it takes down the health bar, so soul definitely has to to with being alive.) Ghost specifically is a description of a spirit not inhabiting a body which remains in the material world. Which sucks since ghosts are immaterial, and therefore can't actually interact with their surrounding.
The logical question is why would spirit remain in this position. Well, either they are somewhat spiritually trained and aware of being a spirit enough to actively choose to remain (for example spirits mediums such as Mia, but potentially also witches, priests of some religions, and esoteric suburb mothers who read up on something legit and kinda know and mostly don't what they are doing) or they have strong bonds to something or someone still in the material world (such as Gregory).
The latter case is practically a ghost which is haunting a person, an object or a location, because either the spirit couldn't let go or the person still alive refuses to let go.
Manfred had practically an obsession with Gregory Edgeworth. The way he screams his name during his breakdown (and c'mon, we know he means Gregory and not Miles) you could swear the man was in the room with the rest of us. And from Manfred's perspective he was. He dragged Gregory with him everywhere he went, he couldn't let go. Miles hadn't let go of his (perceived) guilt, but he did let his father go eventually.
Likewise, there was nothing weighting Manfred's wife to the material when she passed. He felt her loss, he mourned her, sometimes wished she was still there, but he didn't cling to her tooth and nail. Not seeing her ghost around is a good thing. In general, ghosts shouldn't be in the material world. I don't think Mia would hang around if she felt like she didn't have to, but she had some business to wrap up *cough cough* Diego, Dahlia and Morgan *cough cough*.

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.
People who hate on girl meets world piss me off to no end because they hate on it for the dumbest reasons. There are so many valid reasons to hate on the show but they completely ignore them for the most superficial points that just prove their only problem is that its a show with 2 female main characters who just live their life.
Like they could talk about how weird it was that maya and josh were made endgame when she was like 16 and he was 19 and how that is setting a bad example for all the young people who watch the show. Or the weird autism episode where they demonised autism as if they didn't make 2 of the main characters (riley and farkle) autism coded.
But no. Instead their criticisms lie in the fact that maya and riley the MAIN CHARACTERS have conversations in class and are taught lessons about life through their classes and that they don't include the background characters. As if that is not every peice of media ever. Boys meets world did exactly the same thing but no one complained about that. In fact gmw did it better, most of the background characters were recurring and would even have personalities which was more than bmw did.
Or that riley didn't know any of the bad things that happened in the world when it was literally explained in the show that her friends hid the bad part of the world from her. They had had awful lives and had dealt with bad things most of their lives so were cynical and wary of the world even at such a young age. But riley was different. She was the sunshine in a cloudy horrible world and they wanted to keep that part of her innocent qnd so would hide bad things from her. I think this is another way she was autism coded.
The fact that she didn't like change and took peoples words very literally. She dressed quite eccentric and was sometimes completely in her own world. She didn't know how to smile properly and would do things that were inappropriate and would have to be told to stop. The autism episode would have been better if both farkle and riley had gotten a diagnosis.
