Ya’ll thought Jax was playing when he said he was classically trained. I need a miles & jax collab PRONTO. Also I just need miles and jax to get together…likeee yesterday.
“Girl Meets Hurricane” totally upset me both as a Shawngela shipper and as a Maya fan.
I get that they were doing the whole “You don’t always end up with the person you date in high school” thing, but it’s still bullshit. Say what you want, but Shawngela has been my OTP for a long time, so I cannot just let it go because BMW and GMW did. Also, according the other Shawngela shippers, which I agree with because I was thinking this too, the writers were forcing the Shawn/Maya’s mom thing mainly because Maya has daddy issues (which I understand because I kind of have them too) and Shawn is kind of a fatherly figure to her. We all figure that he can still be a fatherly figure to her without having to date her mom. And besides, looking at him and Maya’s mom, there was no chemistry as what he had with Angela. And that fact that Angela came back married was another way of the writers forcing Shawn/Maya’s mom. The only good thing I can say about this is that I’m glad that Angela and Shawn got closer, but my Shawngela shipping heart will always be broken because of this monstrosity.
My feelings towards Maya is completely different from the Shawngela thing. The whole “she needs to change her wardrobe” thing completely upsets me. For one thing, I loved her clothes because they fit her personality, the clothes she bought looks nothing like the Maya I fell in love with. And then, they made her hopeful. I understand that the world isn’t always dark and that her being hopeful is good for character development, but it’s too soon for this kind of development and it also looks like she’s setting her up to be like Riley. Don’t get me wrong, I like Riley because she’s a likeable person, but she is way too boring for my taste. Maya is the complete opposite. She’s complicated, unpredictable, and undefinable and that’s mainly fueled by her daddy issues. That’s why I loved her. And the fact that Riley and Maya are opposites makes their friendship work. Riley’s the optimism that Maya needs, and Maya keeps Riley grounded and her head out of the clouds. If Maya basically turns into Riley, I will flip. One Riley is enough, but two would just kill me. But I’m probably jumping the gun on this one. Hopefully by next new episode (because with Disney Channel’s messed up schedule, you’ll never know when it will come) Maya will seem to be her normal dark self or else the writers will receive a hand written letter from me and I intend to make that a promise.
