#maya hart & shawn hunter
Text
So, I went back and rewatched Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World (at the same time). Heres the thoughts:
I watched Girl Meets World before (when it came out in like middle school/high school; I’m in college now so it’s been a while) and since I’m a Boy Meets World fan I thought I would go back and rewatch it.
Boy Meets World is amazing. The storylines, the characters, everything else; I will always love that show and I often rewatch it.
Girl Meets World is 95% hot fucking garbage. Like I get it’s a Disney channel show- it’s not going to be the greatest thing ever- but good god this is a mess. The writers didn’t really get to tell the story they wanted because of Disney, at least I hope that’s what happened instead of actually thinking that this would be on the same level as Boy Meets World.
—————-
The 5% of the show I enjoyed was:
- Eric’s episodes
- Eric and Tommy’s reunion
- Eric and Jack’s reunion
- Seeing more of Cory and Topanga’s relationship
- Some of Shawn’s episodes
- Some of Farkle, Smackle, or Maya’s scenes (definitely not a lot of them though)
- Stuart Minkus’ appearances (and Jennifer too)
- Feeny and the other original characters making cameos too
———-
The rest of Girl Meets World I kinda hated.
For example:
- they did Angela dirty (like, wtf? They acted like she wasn’t close friends with Cory, Topanga, and the other characters before she left in Boy Meets World; it seemed like they made some of the characters mad at her (Riley) for no reason at all, she did nothing wrong in my opinion. And I would have loved to see more of her, like as an Aunt to Riley and Auggie or something)
- they did Jack dirty too (he would’ve definitely stayed in contact with at least Eric and Shawn, being as close as they were on Boy Meets World. And why wasn’t he at Shawn’s wedding? Also, we should’ve seen more of him after the semi formal episode, and jeric should have happened)
- no Rachel appearances (I would have loved to see her again, and she did stay in contact with Eric, as mentioned in the show, so she could’ve come back)
- the annoying ass Riley, Maya, Lucas love triangle
- the fact that they still didn’t make jeric happen (I need them to happen. They would be so cute! Just look at them:⬇️)
- Mr Turner not having more scenes (I hated that he wasn’t at Shawn’s wedding- like we knew he was in NYC, he could’ve been there- and that he wasn’t in more scenes, especially ones with Shawn)
- the whole “Maya is turning into Riley and they have to stop it” arc. (It was- like the love triangle- annoying, long, and unnecessary. And people do change in high school- and often do a full 180 to their personality; I know I did, and on the Boy Meets World universe Harley Kenner did too. I didn’t even notice the change until it was outright said on the show, and I think the characters discouraging this was just wrong. Yes, Maya did change a lot throughout the show, but that is good. It shows growth, it shows a character arc, that her life is getting brighter and she has more hope, and I still saw Maya as the same character at that point. Anyway, I think that this whole arc was just bad, but I think that Maya still was a good character- she was just poorly written sometimes)
And let’s not forget the two biggest reasons I hate this sequel:
- Joshaya (that relationship was creepy as hell now that I’ve watched the show as an adult, in middle school I didn’t really see why people disliked it, but now I get it. I mean at the end of the series Josh is a FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE (around 18) and Maya is a FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL (around 14 or 15), them doing what they do on the show is illegal. And Josh saying that he’ll “play the long game” too and wait for her? Ew. Just ew. That makes it so much worse; it implies that he’s waiting until she’s 18 or in college and that’s just disturbing and disgusting for a Disney channel show and in general. Overall: Joshaya is gross and illegal and should’ve never been a thing and other characters should not have encouraged it on the show)
- “Girl Meets Farkle” (the infamous autism focused episode. I loved the fact that it had representation for autism, but I hated the way this episode was handled and written. This was by far the worst part of the show for me. I hated the way that some of the characters (Riley, Maya, Lucas) reacted when Farkle said he might be autistic. They acted like it was some horrible thing to be autistic, (which- as a human being and recently diagnosed person with autism- I found offensive) seriously they acted like autism was going to kill him (I’m not joking, that’s how they reacted) and they even went as far as to make Farkle mask who he was in one scene when Farkle said that he identified with some signs of autism. Like, all he wanted was support from his friends when he was getting tested and figuring things out, and all he got was hate from them. And I hate that other characters (and the writers of the show) didn’t see this too and change things or put a stop to it. They also used some outdated language to describe the spectrum on the show, which didn’t help things at all. For a lot of people and viewers, this was the first time they really learned about or saw anything about the spectrum and autism and this is just a horrible way to learn about this. Additionally, I loved Smackle’s whole story and telling how she got diagnosed, but I hated how some characters (Riley and sometimes Maya) treated her throughout the show. As an example: Smackle, as shown in the series, doesn’t often like hugs or physical contact (like me sometimes) and she makes it known, but Riley still fucking tries to hug her constantly and it’s so irritating! I know that if I was having a moment like that, as I often do, and someone tried to hug me like that I would be very uncomfortable and upset, so this whole thing they do with those interactions on the show just pisses me off. Overall: this episode of the show was offensive and horrifying, mostly because of the way the show frames autism and the way that the other characters react to Farkle and his potential diagnosis and Smackle with her actual diagnosis.
—————
In conclusion to my long ass rant:
Me at Boy Meets World:

GMW AU where Maya is the foster kid of the Matthews and Shawn and Angela are still together/visit them and as the show goes on their bond strengthens but in s2 the finale can be a two parter and Maya has to leave the Matthews and obviously she doesn’t want to leave Riley and attend the same high school as her friends so Shawn and Angela decide to adopt her because of the genuine connection they made and maybe a little twist can be thrown in like “oh maya already has a new family ready to take care of her” unaware that the new family are Shawn and Angela until they reveal it themselves. Thank you and goodnight <3

My words:
tile, gown, foundation, fuss, overlook, sniff, infinite, trouble, clay, personality
Your words:
chowder, clatter, visage, eternal, skeptical, irate, jaggernaut, lime, superhero
Tagging: @justanotherpersonwhowrites @tsunderesalty @mrsmungus @fattybattysblog @danceswithdarkspawn @udaberriwrites @the-orion-scribe @amberlide @stealing-your-kittens @violetrose-art @winterlovesong1 @aleksandriel @kayedium-writes @bees-and-sunshine @sliebman10 @mikaharuka @axolotlsupremacyowo
This is an open tag for anyone who wants to play. If you wanted be tagged and I missed you, throw something at me. If you'd like to be included in future tags, let me know!
The Return: The Christmas List
"Like, would you date someone Jon's age?"
"It would depend on the person." She could not be direct any more than he could be.
Shawn scratched his fingernail across the tile of the kitchen island, unable to look her in the eyes. "What if the person is Jon?"
The Return: Cult Fiction Revisited
The way Jon laid in the hospital bed was same the way he laid after the motorcycle accident. There were wires stuck to his chest coming up through the neck of his hospital gown. An oxygen cannula aided his breathing. The only the casts and bandages were missing.
Jon was as still and lifeless as he was back then.
Saudade: Fishing for Answers
It took Riley a long time before she could give voice to her fears. "That they'll start fighting and being unhappy with each other. I'm afraid they'll end up divorced."
Letting out a slow breath, Maya watched her breath dissipate in the cold air around them. She didn't want to admit that Riley's fear was attaching itself to her, but it was. If the foundations of two of the most solid relationships in existence could be shaken and cracked, what hope did her mom and Shawn have?
The Return: Questions and Answers Part II
"Yeah, I know the job's been bad," Cory admitted. He had been holding back his own concerns for the past several months, not wanting to alarm those close to him if he was wrong. "Listen, I'm only tellin' you this- Topanga would kill me if she knew- but sometimes I create problems at school that force Jon to come down and deal with."
Shawn didn't know whether to laugh or be upset. "Seriously?"
Cory gripped his knees with hands. "Yeah, I mean, nothing major that would cause real problems for anyone. I just make a fuss knowing he won't ignore me."
"You are kinda of hard to ignore when you make a fuss."
Saudade: Preparations
Shawn forced his attention away from the bike; they had to leave for the hospital now. He stood and pulled the key out of his pocket that Audrey had left him. The key was still on the same Pentagon keyring Jon had way back then. He checked the bike over once more to make sure everything was ready to run. That's when he noticed something was missing.
He smiled as he recalled the time he tried to take the bike to Audrey's but couldn't get it started because he overlooked a small but important detail-the key.
The Return: The Keys
"Cor, look around." Shawn gestured to the crowded place they were in. "Who don't you see here?"
Cory looked around suspiciously, then looked back at Shawn, and shrugged. "That blonde lady from the park," he said, repeating how Riley had referred to Miss Tompkins. He drew curious looks from both of the men at the table.
Shawn sniffed. "You're welcome."
Autumn in Philadelphia: Cory and Shawn's Miracle Soap: Tuesday
(the closest I have to infinite is eternal)
An ear-splitting scream shook the Matthews' house early Tuesday morning. Amy grimaced at the eternal shriek as she set a plate full of hot cakes down in the center of the kitchen table.
Birthday Wishes and Valentine Kisses: Accidental Discoveries
Shawn spun around ready to fight. This was an instinctual reaction to being approached from behind. Growing up in the Pink Flamingo Trailer Park taught him that being ready to fight was the only way to avoid being pummeled.
It was good thing he repressed the urge to blindly swing, however. If he had, he would have connected with Brad's stomach.
And he would have been in a lot of trouble.
No clay. Hmm...
Flashbacks: Better Days
While he favored the bikinis worn by the girls on MTV's Beach House, he knew Audrey would not be comfortable in one in public and they were also going to a family theme park for young kids, not the Jersey Shore. Begrudgingly he put the suit back and resumed searching.
At one point he thought he found the one- a pearlescent two-piece. He had to struggle to reach it as it was shoved in the back behind a bunch of one-piece suits with weird ruching and ruffled skirts. He was terribly disappointed when he finally got it into the light.
It wasn't even a bikini; it was an off-white one-piece.
No doubt Audrey would make this boring garment look like haute couture, but Jon couldn't stomach the idea of putting her into something so plain. He shoved it back where he found it and continued to look for something that matched her personality.

Fire in the Water (Chapter 27)
Story Notes:
Focal ship: Lucas/Maya (slow burn-ish)
Rating: Mature/Teen & Up
27: Why Birds and Beasts from Quality and Kind (Maya POV)
Sunflowers inspired her and motivated her and made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside until they couldn’t do that anymore because she hadn’t used them right. She’d forced them into a situation they weren’t suited for; one that ultimately brought pain and heartache to herself, and destruction for everyone else.
She should’ve known that, truly. She should’ve known keeping something that wasn’t hers would only lead to despair. But she was a glutton for punishment too; if Hope teased Maya with something, she fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
Hope was teasing her with something— someone— again, right now. Maya elbowed him.
“Sorry, yeah, just— What’s with the sunflowers?”
Or, read from the very beginning…

Cant stop thinking about an au where Shawn is actually Maya's father cos that would be a way more interesting plot line than awkwardly creating a romance between Shawn and Katy just so he can be her father figure Officially.
I dunno man it also kinda works with the timeline. 2001ish, Angela never came back from europe, Cory and Topenga probably starting to talk about having kids, Eric off doing Eric things. Shawn's feeling more left behind than ever before so he makes some stupid decisions, has a few one night stands and runs from that for the next thirteen years.
and then when he does reconnect with Maya, who he made not have known existed, he's faced with the reality that he's following in his father's footsteps and has to make the conscious decision to Stay and be a presence in her life. It would be way more interesting, but I guess maybe one night stands isn't very Disney Show (though what do I know, I don't watch Disney shows) and maybe that's too big of a flaw to give Shawn.
#Wren rambles#Boy meets world#Girl meets world#Shawn Hunter#Maya Hart#Idk man I really liked how in bmw Chet is never villianised#He's clearly Not A Good Parent#But he's a human with flaws--some pretty big ones#But they don't stop Shawn from loving him and they don't stop him being a vital part of Shawn's life#So i think it would have been interesting to carry that over into gmw

So. We all agree that as soon as Maya graduated high school and went to college, Shawn and Katy ended up splitting up bc they realized that they were only ever with each other cause they were desperate to give the kid the stable family she wanted, right?

People who hate on girl meets world piss me off to no end because they hate on it for the dumbest reasons. There are so many valid reasons to hate on the show but they completely ignore them for the most superficial points that just prove their only problem is that its a show with 2 female main characters who just live their life.
Like they could talk about how weird it was that maya and josh were made endgame when she was like 16 and he was 19 and how that is setting a bad example for all the young people who watch the show. Or the weird autism episode where they demonised autism as if they didn't make 2 of the main characters (riley and farkle) autism coded.
But no. Instead their criticisms lie in the fact that maya and riley the MAIN CHARACTERS have conversations in class and are taught lessons about life through their classes and that they don't include the background characters. As if that is not every peice of media ever. Boys meets world did exactly the same thing but no one complained about that. In fact gmw did it better, most of the background characters were recurring and would even have personalities which was more than bmw did.
Or that riley didn't know any of the bad things that happened in the world when it was literally explained in the show that her friends hid the bad part of the world from her. They had had awful lives and had dealt with bad things most of their lives so were cynical and wary of the world even at such a young age. But riley was different. She was the sunshine in a cloudy horrible world and they wanted to keep that part of her innocent qnd so would hide bad things from her. I think this is another way she was autism coded.
The fact that she didn't like change and took peoples words very literally. She dressed quite eccentric and was sometimes completely in her own world. She didn't know how to smile properly and would do things that were inappropriate and would have to be told to stop. The autism episode would have been better if both farkle and riley had gotten a diagnosis.

The one genuine serious complaint i have about gmw is what they did to Angela and Shawn. Shawn and Kaity are cute enough. I can even excuse going with the less developed ship for the sake of Shawn being Maya's dad!! But. To bring Angela back. And see Shawn for the first time since she left. And say "hey I'm married. My husband wants to have kids but I don't want to have kids bc of my childhood trauma and you understand that better than my husband ever could so I'm talking to you about if I should have kids with my husband instead of my husband. Also my dad (the man who loved you and thought you were perfect for me and encouraged me to not run away from my feelings for you) is dead lol. Oh that blonde lady?? Is she the one?? Bc she looked at you??? Bye ❤" WHAT WAS THAT??????? WHAT WAS THAT OH MY GOD IMBSKDBSIDB HOW COULD THEY DO THAT 😭

ok one thing girl meets world does right is the aesthetic, i am so in love with all rileys clothes, i NEED the jeans she wears in the intro they are so cute. mayas clothes were a bit rough at first but after shawn bought her clothes im now loving every single outfit. also, i loved the old bay window but i LOVE the new bay window.
its all giving 2000's hippie almost whimsigoth and that is so my style and i love it so much
they did a really great job of having them actually wear REAL clothes, like in a lot of new kids shows they just wear super ugly fake looking clothes.
you can really tell that riley is topangas daughter and i really love that because you all know i love my hippie chicks (as a hippie chick myself)
