This is another project I commissioned to @little-lynx because I love here “pages to blossom” series and I wanted to have this “Watercolours” a In-Panem AU after their last reaping. A “This would have happened anyway” type of story.

the saddest thing i’ve ever done was beg someone to love me the way I loved them

[feelingsoftheday]

I like dates. I like healthy communication. I love room to grow. I like quality time. I like reassurance. I like reciprocated energy.

Some friendship... (also I'm fucking up past and present tenses, but idgaf)

You know I just realized how absolutely humongous a crock of shit the whole Maya turning into Riley because she's getting better grades thing is, and that Riley only was accusing her of that because of Lucas. I mean, I knew it was bullshit before, but I never really though of how gigantic a 💩 it was until today.

Girl Meets Father is the fourth episode of season one. In that episode, Cory gives Maya an F on her test. Maya gets upset that she failed the test.

Maya tells Riley that "sometimes, I'm not so proud of who I am".

Maya tells Riley and Cory that she "tried to write like I was smart", Riley responds that Maya is smart.

Cory corrects Maya on one answer of the test saying "it's a tiny difference but an important one. Because if you know it, Maya, you don't fail". Maya then replies "I want to not fail".

Riley was encouraging Maya, while Cory was quizzing her on the subject of the test.

Maya says to Cory: "I just don't wanna fail, Mr. Matthews.

We go from that (Riley encouraging Maya to grow and better herself) to season three, Girl Meets Triangle, where Riley accuses Maya that the person that Maya has grown into is not who she really is.

Riley tell the art teacher that "Maya's a rebel". That Maya dances on teachers' desks, is the queen of detention and the president of Mayaville.

Riley is saying that Maya needs to be fixed because "she's been getting good grades, she's behaving all over the place".

Maya tells Riley, "I'm me! I've always been me, I'm always gonna be me! Nothings going to change that!", Riley retorts with"you haven't stood on a teachers desk or been in detention for a long time. You sold your house in Mayaville and you moved to Rileytown."

No matter what Maya says, Riley keeps insisting that Maya turned into her, blah blah blah.

Riley goes on about how Maya's style has changed towards Riley's style.

So, in the beginning of the series Riley was encouraging Maya to grow and do better. Maya even told Riley that she's not proud of who she is. Maya does mature and grow...

THEN Riley finds out that Maya likes the same guy as her. That can't happen, she can't have Lucas choosing Maya; so she accuses Maya of becoming her and wants Maya to become that failure that Maya thought she was in the beginning of the series (plus telling Maya that while Riley will have one husband, Maya will go through 5 husbands and that Lucas won't be one of them). Riley accuses Maya pulling the fire alarm, of stealing from the cafe (for me, that kind of accusation is something that a friendship can never bounce back from) and she basically forces Maya to revert back to the person she wasn't proud of being, to believe that she doesn't deserve good things or good guys... all because they like the same guy.

Thus, by the end of the series; Riley destroyed all of Maya's growth and forced Maya's regression and Riley became a hypocrite.

i've been back in my gmw/lucaya phase for a little bit (yes, i know, i too am questioning what tf i am doing with my life) and just seeing maya after texas, where she might finally have a chance w lucas and she talks excitedly about what a great guy he is is heartbreaking.

because you know what's coming and you know she's about to shut herself off from that for someone else (because her hand was forced) and she's gonna invest herself in something that is almost definitely going to leave her hurting in the end.

and you watch her practically jumping out of her seat with glee because finally, she just might get to explore things with a guy she's liked for some time, and it breaks your heart because you know it's never going to be able to last.

I am SO SAD

[wandasbiatch]

ok sorry but how did farkle not get a reading 😹😹 like when zay said he would choose riley, lucas seem surprised thinking why zay would choose riley then sad that zay said “decision over, it’s riley” but when he brought up maya, he was like “what 😐😠” like he don’t wanna picture maya with zay 😹😹😹

DISCLAIMER : IM INTERPRETING IT THAT WAY LIKE YALL CAN INTERPRET IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

[hosiexa]

OMG THIS IS SO TRUEEE, I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one to notice it 😭😭😭😭😭

[mytragedyperson]

Also this picture. This happens after Lucas picked Riley. Now the mouth is saying get off me, but the body language is saying I got you. also they both look so happy here. It's insane that these two didn't end up together. And Farkle's expression in the background? He knows, the expression chang? could he be realising Maya still likes Lucas? Or is he worried Riley will see? I don't know but he starts off looking slightly amused then changes to almost sad. As the person who is always said to be bad at emotions, he actually seems like one of the best at noticing others' emotions. He may not understand his own emotions but he understands others. Also this isn't relevant but I'm pretty sure Zay ships Lucaya more and, as Lucas's best friend and longest friend, Idk, he's the least invested in Riley's personal happiness, not that he dosn't want her to be happy but I feel like he'd prioritise Lucas' happiness, so if he prefers Lucaya that says a lot for me personally. You're welcome to disagree but my opinion probably won't change

[hosiexa]

I want a lucaya shipper girlfriend so bad, we could shit talk Disney and kiss every 5 minutes

[mytragedyperson]

OK I'm sorry, I'm back with this same monologue again because the wording here. "found out I was gonna have a chance", not found out you liked me, no, not found out about Maya's feelings. He was gonna have a chance, as if he'd thought about it before, considered the possibility, but ultimately decided he didn't have a chance. And we do know from season 1, that he did consider it, from the conversation he had with Farkle about asking one of them out, where he asked Farkle about what he'd do if he asked each of them out. But that seemed more hypothetical, until now. He wanted a chance with her and never thought he'd get it, but he did... and he gave it up. Like, you can't tell me this man doesn't or didn't ever have feelings for Maya, that he only ever liked Riley, because the wording here suggests otherwise, and I feel like most people have accepted that, yes, Maya's feelings for Lucas were genuine and Maya turning into Riley was a cop out. I genuinely believe Maya and Lucas's characters would've ended up together eventually.

I feel like it's a shame Lucas didn't ask more questions when she told him he'd picked Riley either way, because season 1 or 2 Lucas would've shut that down and been like no that's absolute nonsense, you're you. Like the fact everyone just went along with that is insane. They made her feel bad for developing as a person and being happy and forced her to go back to how she was before. That's just sad. Could you imagine if anyone but Riley did this? I feel like Riley only got away with this because she's Riley. And to be clear I don't hate Riley, I don't think she had bad intentions here, but Riley has been shown to dislike change, and that could apply even if that change is good. I don't think Riley really considered how much of Maya's change came from the fact her home life, her personal situation had changed. Because Riley's always had a loving family and frineds that support and protect her, so she doesn't quite realise how much that would change for someone who never really had it. An the Matthews did try to treat Maya like one of the family, and while I do think Maya wanted to be part of the family, I don't think she ever truly believed she was. They were a family, but they weren't her family. And a lot of what Lucas said, if i remember that scene correctly, came from before she "became Riley" so no he didn't pick Riley either way. We'll never know who he picked by the end of that episode. But, either way, whoever he picked, he chose them because of who they were.

Also I genuinely feel like the season 1 and 2 versions of most of these characters would punch their season 3 versions in the face, but none more so than Riley who would never stand for anyone talking to her best friend the way Riley does in season 3. Even late season 2, not yet in a love triangle but clearly heading that way Riley would destroy season 3 "you became me" Riley. This season only really happens if everyone is put of character which they were

no one is doing it like katniss everdeen and peeta mellark. they have it ALL. fake dating. enemies to lovers. rivals to lovers. friends to lovers. star-crossed lovers. opposites attract. hurt-comfort. nightmare induced bed sharing. shared trauma. guy falls first. sunshine & grumpy. childhood crush.

everyone say thank you suzanne.

wlw are not less fatphobic than mlm. sure, you don't have "no fats" in your tinder/grindr bio, but you still make your dislike of fat women apparent. the sapphic art you create, the representation you hail as perfect, the wlw singers you listen to, the fashion you label as having "gay vibes", etc. It's all painfully, stupidly apparent. I'm tired of staying quiet about this.

[hauntedbythenarrative]

Why must I go out there, meet people and build relationships in order to have a girlfriend? Why can't I just go kiss the new girl in the pantry at a party, and she stakes me bc I'm a vampire and we fall in love?
