so, as promised, i’m continuing to post every file that i have of lucas looking at riley because apparently you guys all want to suffer and i want to suffer right along side you !!! it’s been like three weeks but i kind of forgot that this one was in my drafts but i hope that you all enjoy it!!!!! this post covers the rest of s2 (cory & topanga - legacy) and then the next (and last) post will be covering s3. so enjoy this one fam!!!!!!!! it’s painful but it’s worth it i promise!!!!!
here’s part one.
alright fam let’s kick this one off with lucas’ iconic eyebrow raise to riley in cory & topanga, there is no reason for him to be lowkey flirting with her in the middle of class and yet..here we are
when riley gets a text from her bully, lucas looks so concerned like he doesn’t even know what’s happening yet and he’s concerned
“someone gets hurt” now i don’t know exactly why lucas looked right at riley when he said this but needless to say it’s got me fucked up
OK not to be overdramatic or anything but this look right here..,..killed me...,..he looks so..,..worried and sad...,also that zoomed in version of this cap where you can see his tear....i’m fucked up
lucas looked at riley as soon as mr. matthews said “it’s ok to ask for help” probably because he wants to be someone who riley comes to when she needs help i’m crying
lucas literally just keeps looking at riley throughout this entire scene he was so concerned about her rip me truly
lucas friar is completely Shook by the fact that someone could not find riley’s adorableness equally as adorable like, he doesn’t get it at all
i like to call these two caps, lucas friar proud unofficial boyfriend™seriously, he was so proud of her for standing up for herself, he’s so in love
i love this look so much, this lowkey looks like peyton couldn’t help but laugh a lil at rowan coming into the classroom but they left it in anyways, but either way it’s so cute he’s so amused by her i love
alright so back to the pain, he was so relieved and amazed when she told him how much she believed in him !!! kill me !!!!
do you ever just think about how desperately lucas friar wants riley matthews to be proud of him and cry a lil bit like he values her opinion of him so much
look at how happy he is!!! telling riley how important she is to him!!! telling her he wouldn’t have survived in new york without her!!!! he probably was gonna make this his moment pass it on!!!!! (also this hurts bc he has no idea the pain she’s about to hit him with rip)
he’s so confused and hurt my lil son doesn’t know why this is happening :(
you can literally see!!! the minute his heart breaks like damn he loves her so much and didn’t see that coming
riley: wow lucas the view sure is beautiful
lucas: *looking at riley* yeah it is
no but seriously this lowkey looks like one of those posts that’s like “she thought the view was prettier but i thought she was prettier”
the lil smile lucas has on his face when riley does her little “he hee” is the cutest fucking thing in the entire universe
tbh every face that lucas makes whenever riley mentions that they are brother and sister makes me want to die but this one is especially heartbreaking i want death
LOOK AT HIS SMILE !!!! I’M GONNA JUMP OUT A WINDOW !!!!
both of these make me super fucking emo especialyl the second one please kill me
riley is trying to tell lucas that she doesn’t like him and that maya likes him but all lucas cares about is riley i wanna die please kill me
“what if that’s not what i think we are” LUCAS !!! FRIAR !!! IS !!! IN !!! LOVE !!! WITH !!! RILEY !!! MATTHEWS !!! PASS !!! IT !!! ON !!!
i don’t even have words to explain how much pain i feel look at this boy he loves her...so much...i want to be dead....
remember when maya dropped the “lucas and i had a moment” bomb in the middle of class and all lucas cared about was how riley was gonna react iconic
look at his face when she says yes to going out with charlie !!!! he looks so hurt!!!! please kill me!!!!!!!!!
ok first off i’m zay in the bg, also the way lucas looks at riley this entire scene and reacts to her date with charlie makes me cry he was so upset
he looks so lowkey amused by her ranting about beary the bear bear in the middle of class like at his lil face
he always looks so happy around her my lil son
that time him and maya were having a conversation about their homework/beliefs and lucas just took a lil mental breather to look over at riley doing her homework, what does this have to do with the scene??? nothing that’s what
rucas don’t have to look at each other all goofy and smiley like that??? they don’t have to do that to me!!!
tell me this doesn’t look like he’s smiling right at riley do you ever just...crave death
things are so awkward between them at this point but this look??? iconic. (also i love how riley sat down so close to him like there’s no space between them)
this lil doofus got so excited talking about what riley does when they watch movies like i can’t believe he knows all this about her off the top of his head what a peach
remember during the first real triangle scene at the end of new year, lucas looked at riley but didn’t look at maya #iconic
when she’s singing him her song about zombies, could he be even more in love with her goofiness??? i don’t think so (still bitter that apparently there’s a deleted scene that adds more context to this scene)
even when he’s trying to be Mad™ about the whole cheating thing, he still looks pretty adorably at riley, that head tilt saved lives
lucas friar has the subtly of a hand grenade when it comes to riley matthews, like i see that fucking lip bite boy don’t even try
LOOK AT MY BOY’S SUNSHINEY SMILE IN THIS SCENE WHEN LOOKING AT RILEY (also riley’s lil grin in both of these, can u believe they’re in love)
this poor boy..,..didn’t want to hurt anyone..,.the look on his face at the mere Thought of hurting riley makes me want to die
lucas smiling at riley through the window of the classroom, truly it’s gotta be second nature to this boy by now to just smile at riley in the middle of any class
this entire scene fucks me up but look at this poor boy’s face..,..he loves her so much i’m gonna deactivate my account
more of my favorite shit: gmw hitting you with that classroom wideshot to show lucas just smiling at riley
THIS ICONIC LIP BITE this is the least subtle thing i have ever seen in my goddamn life !!! lucas why did you have to do that!!!! no one asked!!!!
the way he’s smiling at her here..,..kill me dead
there are no good caps of lucas in this scene but look at the way he’s looking at riley here !!!!! he’s so in love with her please end my suffering
