Anyone else SUPER mad about the fact that there weren't ANY millivas scenes this season? Come ON!

@zayahankypanky asked: Zoe Rivas or Tristan Milligan? Both together! 

(I know I’m cheating a little but they’re two of my faves and my brotp)

In the most recent Degrassi season, what were your thoughts on the last episode, and the ending of said episode? The reason I'm asking, many people didn't like that they had to end the episode off with an OOC Tristan question about pizza, when Maya was in the hospital fighting for her life. I personally, didn't mind it, but I'm not putting all my thoughts into it, and I'm not a huge part of the fandom, so this could have influence.

DNC spoilers to follow!

Alright. Here’s the thing. People are going to hate on Tristan regardless of what he does. He could probably solve world hunger and he’d get hate. I understand that he’s done some problematic things, and those aren’t okay! But it doesn’t mean that he’s a bad person.

As for the final scenes of episode 10, that was a pretty dark episode in a pretty dark season. I think it says something that Tristan, Miles, and Zoe were even at the hospital considering they aren’t/haven’t been friends with Maya in years.

Tristan asking about pizza, in my opinion, wasn’t insensitive. At that point, there was nothing they could do except be sad. And Miles and Zoe spent a good portion of the season being sad. I also think it was Tristan somewhat trying to normalize and lighten the mood. He’s trying to show Miles (and Zoe) that he’s very much still there, even with his recovery. He’s trying to get their minds off of Maya (and Miles’s heavy statement) and just make them smile.

And it works.

They both laugh, and the season ends with the three of them leaving the hospital to get pizza. It was a spot of HOPE in an otherwise bleak time. Because even though things are different, not everything has to be. Hope is on the horizon, for all of them! Tristan is recovering. Maya is going to have friends to support her, get help, and be okay.

Tl;dr: no, I didn’t find the ending offensive or insensitive. I also think people give Tristan too much shit.

Also thank you for asking and for thinking I have any kind of influence. I’ve been wanting to talk about my feelings on this matter since I first saw people’s reactions. I love you!

Random question. Maya and Zoe are they Tristan's best friends or is it only one of them ?

Oh I love this question! Simple answer: Zoe and Tristan are best friends. Maya and Tristan are on better terms again and can probably be considered friends but they aren’t as close as they once were (see in depth answer on why). 

In depth answer on both friendship below:

In depth answer: 

So back in season 11, when they were introduced, Maya and Tristan became friends with Maya. Tristan even calls Maya his best friend in season 13 after Tori moves away. Their relationship gets a little rocky when Miles comes into the picture as Tristan likes him but Maya ends up with him, but they’re still good and friends. Then the Yates thing happens, and Maya tells Simpson that Tristan is seeing a teacher. In one of my favourite Degrassi scenes, Tristan tells Maya he doesn’t want to talk to her every again (it’s really heartbreaking and, despite Maya doing the right thing, you feel for both the character). At the start of season 14 they’re still Rocky as Tristan is now with Miles, and then Miles starts pulling away from Tristan and Tristan believes it is because Miles has feelings for Maya. 

The pair make up in the second block of season 14 when Tristan and Maya are made dance partners for P.E. He gives Maya relationship advice on Zig a little while later. They’ve been seen interacting a few times since then but not like they used to. It will be interesting to see if they interact again in DNC season 3. Hopefully Tristan will pull through and we will see them as friends again in season 4. 

As for Tristan and Zoe, it’s obvious in Degrassi Next Class that the pair is close. It wasn’t always that way. When Zoe is first introduced, Tristan is starstruck by her. Him and Tori used to run a West Drive (Zoe’s TV show) vlog. Zoe wanted to be friends with Tristan but was instantly jealous and cold to Maya. When she reveals her true colours in Paris, he sticks by Maya. However, Tristan ends up later hanging out with Zoe and tries to make Zoe and Maya make peace. 

Tristan sticks by Zoe through her sexual assault case. The pair remain friends after, they stand up for each other in various episodes. Zoe acts as Tristan’s running-mate in season 1 of DNC and he tries to get her to come out, with good intentions but questionable actions. Nonetheless, Zoe and Tristan are best friends on the series and his injuries will definitely affect Zoe a lot. Praying for Tristan to pull through so we can see these two friends in action again before they graduate! 

Anyway, thanks for sticking with me through this long answer! Hope it helped! I may have missed some details because I’m trying to do this before class. Feel free to message me anytime with any questions on the subject! Thank you so much for the ask, anon!

Zoe: "Pity Party for one, your table is now ready."

I hope there are lots of Millivas scenes in Season 4... please.
