Day 15: Favorite LGBTQIA+ Ship
Rilaya (Girl Meets World)
These two have been hands down my favorite LGBT ship since 2016; I'm still mad that they were never made canon - but in a way, I'm also grateful that Disney (or Michael Jacobs)'s cowardice inspired me to start Bay Window Productions.
Undoubtedly, they were not only the most important ship in the show (which everyone knew), but they also had so many moments that were decidedly Not Platonic™ and other characters lowkey shipping them:
"let me teach you everything there is to know about boys and girls"
*referring to sitting with lucas* "this is so innocent" "honey, fathers don't see anything as innocent; we see it as..... what's the opposite of innocent?" *raising her hand* "right here!!!"
"that little girl pushed those doors open with the power of love"
"your safe place is me" *holds up ring hand* "and i'm yours" *interlocks fingers* "from the day we met"
"you know what happens at 5:30? you turn gold"
*holds maya's face real close twice*
"are you a good friend of maya's?" *scoffs* "i'm sorry and please don't take this the wrong way but WHAT"
*while swiping through pictures of her and maya* "i think it's possible that you're too close" *glares at him*
"you are my extraordinary relationship, maya"
"there are limits to best friendship" "there are no limits to us"
"honey i'm home" "hi honey i'm home"
"they're way more advanced in high school" "we're middle school handholders" *have literally held hands more than any other ship*
*in a demonic voice* "i hope lucas has a very bad day" "gosh you're cute"
"what happens now?" *stares at riley's lips while biting her own*
"what if we don't care for our boyfriends as much we care about each other?" "no we'll just care for them in a different way" what different way" "less"
*holds each other's chins*
*lays their heads on each other's shoulders*
"THEY LOVE EACH OTHER!!! THEY'RE GONNA MARRY EACH OTHER!!!!"
"the two of you can't be apart, it shakes the foundations of the whole world" "not very scientific, farkle" "some things are just true"
"are you and maya back together" "we have decided to separate our work lives from our bay window lives" "well i'm sure that'll keep the love alive"
"they're best friends, eric" "no, we knew that already; this goes deeper"
"i miss her... i love her"
"i don't know what i like anymore" "whoa"
"because i love her.... i always have and she loves me"
*bites lip at riley while twirling pencil*
*affectionately* "you carry glitter in your pocket"
"london is 3459 miles away from new york, riley" "WHAT?! YOU'RE TOO FAR AWAY NOW" *is literally standing right in front of her*
"promise me this" "okay" "time and distance have no power over us; you and i are together for as long as we live" "thunder" "lightning" "done"
i could literally go on forever about this, but you get the gist; they deserved to be endgayme and no one can change my mind
also feel free to add to the list with your favorite rilaya moments that i may have missed
