Lol let's be honest, maya is the only one who stepped back, I mean Riley may have stepped back in Texas, but she did it for what, 4 episodes? Maya hid her feeling during nearly 2 seasons, and when the others found out, she basically hid her feelings again in ski lodge, because of Riley and Josh's bullshit "you never liked him maya you just turned into my clone that's the only reason why you care about him!" "Maya you just wanted to make sure he is good for Riley, that's why you basically became another person and faked your own feelings without even realizing it!" And as soon as farkle told Lucas and Maya that Riley hadn't gotten over Lucas she didn't step back, she didn't really put their friendship with Lucas before her interests. I mean, Maya when Maya told her that "Lucas should decide too", she basically ignored it. It bothers me so much that Maya is such a good friend, she deserves so much better than Josh and 'someday'. To me it's obvious that Lucas and Maya both wanted to be together, but couldn't because they didn't want to hurt Riley, and I would bet anything that if there had been a 4th season Lucaya would have happened.
potato potato the writers even said that in the episode of when Lucas had made his decision and maya was covered in purple paint, they said that he did chose maya
i just noticed that maya and lucas are kinda like how freddy and sam were from icarly. like maya would tease lucas just like sam would tease freddy and they but they both liked one another
I agree, that line from Josh about not really having feelings for Lucas, just putting herself in Riley's shoes was bull! She liked Lucas the whole time, she stepped back until her feelings eventually came out in Texas, then when things got too messy at the Ski Lodge she stepped back again. I hope the writers are smart enough to know Riley and Lucas aren't a good match and Lucaya finally happens for real!
Chris Jarma how is Riley a bad friend when she stepped bAck even in ski lodge when Lucas was talking about them shd stopped him just to ask him how maya felt so really Riley is not the bad one
I still and always will think That Lucaya will be the perfect relationship. Lucas calms down Maya and he comforts her In times she really needed it. And Maya puts some flare into Lucas' life. Yea they fight but what functioning communicating relationship doesn't? I can't think of any reason why they don't belong together.
I agree, Lucas can do and say things to Maya that no one else can, she allows herself to be more vulnerable with him than pretty much everyone. He encouraged her to write her dad, he stops her from going after Farkle... and she allows it. She trusts him, which is a really big deal for her.
She was so focused on Riley's happiness she didn't even care about hers that's why she let Lucas go but I will always believe they will forever love each other
Lucaya is the most beautiful and developed ship in disney.Like seriously it doesn't make any sense how they ended the triangle? First maya all of sudden doesn't know who she is when the one who asks herself who she is in every third episode is RILEY but hey of course the one who has to STEP BACK the whole time has to have the 'find yourself' problem. And second ,and for me this one is the worst one-Josh. Let's be real: he was OBSERVING maya? WHEN? When he was crying over that older girl who didn't want to date him? Or when he ignored her because she was a child`? Or no wait when he was at college for the whole time except for 3-5 episodes? and in the first 3 he ignored her? He wasn't there for her.He wasn't there to see how she developed .How can HE knows what she is like,what she loves/likes and what she wants? YUp,HE CAN NOT. All he did was putting things into Maya head ,he made maya to think she never liked Lucas and just was trying to protect riley BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. He was trying to protect riley,to make her get the boy-But not because he likes maya,he doesn't. All this 'someday' is ridiculous.as if he would wait for so long and has feelings for her-No he just doesn't . She said she doesn't want a good guy..But didn't she say once that josh is a good guy? YOU SEE? ALL THIS STORYLINE IS SO UNSTEADY.I know it's disney but Lucaya (also riarkle) has so much mature potential.But it has to be so disney-The main character wins and all of sudden the other 'love interesse' of the character who has to step back 24/7 so the main character gets what she wants knows ALL of her.Did the fairy godmother bibidi babidi bu's Josh's brain with informations about maya or did I miss the was there the whole time?Don't get me wrong I love the friendship betwenn Maya and rileyit's so pure BUT if you say riley treats maya as good as she does treat riley you are lying to yourself.Yes riley stepped back for few episodes-MAYA FOR 2 YEARS and in the end she stepped back again,great .And let's not forget how much riley stressed maya when she was feeling bad and confused with asking her the whole time if she still likes lucas- bay friend.I dislike Riley (except for sometimes specially scenes with farkle) but that's not the reason I see her as a bad friend for sometimes.So again: Maya stepped back again.And I still believe in Lucaya maybe the writters realize which huge mistake they made and even if Lucaya does not end up together: They are the most beautiful ship in disney and ofc in gmw.I will always ship them and hate Joshaya&Rucas.
honestly i feel like lucas changed his decision after Maya told him that either way he would've picked Riley. I think he was starting to feel like maya wasn't into him anymore
The way Lucas looks at Riley can never be as intense and loving as the way he looks at Maya. When he is supposed to look at Riley, like when she's dancing in front of the class, and when she comes out with the Texan outfit, he still looks at Maya. Rucas's kiss can't even have half the connection in Lucaya's almost kiss. Lucaya have deep conversations together that Rucas never had. Lucas chose Riley cuz Maya told him so, cuz he cared about her.
I feel like Riley is stuck in a fairytale where she has to be with the prince or popular hot looking guy aka Lucas when in reality she's supposed to be with the nerd aka Farkle Bc they look ever other but are too afraid to go any further than
Also I feel like Maya didn't become Riley, that's just what everyone keeps telling her. Maya must have been feeling confused and her mind was gone for a while trying to figure everything out but she didn't become Riley
Shay K no acutally ski lodge Riley even stopped Lucas from talking about them to ask Lucas well will Maya be ok so don't even say Riley is a bad friend when she stepped back just as much
Andrea Cantu it's mayas fAult for pushing them together in th e first place Maya is like the worst friend ever for that it was hard for Riley to give up her first true crush I mean and even after lucas picked her she was still caring for Maya that's why shr said will Maya be ok becuse she knows how maya is this was Mayas fault for putting them together clearly she doesn't care for rileys feelings in the first place if shes going after the guy she pushed for Riley that's not a true friend that's a backstabber
Shay K it's mayas fault for pushing them together tbhh Maya is the backstabber tbhh shes like the worst friend ever Riley gave up and gave everything to make maya feel happy and to give her the happy ending Maya didn't care about Riley she only cared about Lucas that's why she brought him up never once even talked to Riley what kind of friend does that if anyone is selfish it's Maya she's the one who took rileys man so wanna talk about selish that's Maya not Riley recheck and watch the show Riley gave up everything for Maya and Maya was too busy caring about lucas to see it
i miss all the lucaya moments. even the subtle ones wherein at first you'd think it's nothing but then you replay it and then you'd be like omg they had a moment!!!
Riley never stepped back, and said "Lucas is mine" when in reality, Lucas isnt hers, and Maya was the one who stepped back when she was the cause of both Lucas and Riley being together in the subway. I feel like Maya is the mature one, and Lucas should be with a more mature person, than being with someone who claimed a guy when the guy was still deciding who to pick
Lucas could never hurt Maya. However, in Girl Meets Permanent Record, he calls Riley a loser in the following conversation. L: *comes in bay window* I'm you. R: You're me? L: Yeah, I'm a loser. When Maya says he chose Riley, his smile disappears instantly because she's wrong. From day one, he has wanted her to be happy, so when she tells him to go to Riley he does, because it's what she wanted him to do. But, she only tells him to because she let Josh and Riley convince her that she only liked him because she became Riley. It's impossible to become someone else. When the girls ran off to Shawn's house and Lucas was talking to their parents, everything he said was directed not to Topanga, but to Katy. The evidence is even in the moments of physial contact. With Rucas, Riley initiates everything, but with Lucaya it's a pretty even split. Lucas and Maya are the only ones who can "contain" each other's anger. When they talk about faith, Maya takes Lucas' advice and not her "best friend's" advice. I put best friend in quotations because what kind of friend acts like that. Riley is a drama queen, always putting her problems and desires ahead of Maya's until she looks up long enough to realize that she's losing Maya. Even then, when Maya says it shouldn't be just them that decides what happens, that Lucas should get to decide, Riley ignores it and says she's taking Lucas. Part of her argument is that Lucas is her boyfriend, but last I checked, the last episode any of them went on a date was before New Year's and it was Maya and Lucas. We never actually see or hear about them breaking up. Rucas is a forced wannabe Corpanga clone, but all the real parallels are in Lucaya, even the seating arrangement in every class. And here's an added little piece of wisdom. I don't remember where it came from. If you love two people, choose the second, because if you truly loved the first, you wouldn't have fallen for the second. Lucas loved Riley first, but still fell in love with Maya, and that is why they belong together. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
When Josh told Maya she didn't actually liked Lucas she believed, but the second she looked at Lucas again she knew she really did liked him but stepped back because Riley is that important to her ;; but Lucas and Riley were never meant for each other, it's been years and I'm still sure Lucaya was meant to be, I mean, after all of this in the Christmas episode I think, Lucas went home and he didn't even told Riley and then Maya got him as a secret santa thing but then because the show was cancelled it was left at that 😣
Hey we all know Lucas chose Maya bc when you watch gm upstate he was saying so much stuff about Maya to Katy and he even admires her!! He also had a disappointing face when Maya said “it doesn’t matter bc you picked Riley”
+Lucaya X. Did she step back again? Because she said "Riley is right, this triangle needs to be killed and there is only one way to do it" so she said she didn't like Lucas, even tho she did?
+Aesthetic Gamer Well lets put it this way, Maya still had hope at the end of True Maya if her painting had anything to go by, but in I Do, she lost hope. What episode is between them? Ski Lodge. So something happened in Ski Lodge to make Maya into "hope is for suckers" mode again. I think you can guess what that something is. Isn't it interesting though, that she is "hopeless" for the majority of that episode, especially since it's right after Ski Lodge, where she apparently got what she "wanted": Josh. I honestly don't think she is aware that she's stepping back again. I think she really thinks, or really want to believe, that she wants Josh right now because Riley had digressed Maya's character into season 1 Maya. But since this show is told through Riley's POV, we won't know that answer until Riley becomes aware of what's happening.
People always say that Rikey stepped back for maya and let maya go out on a date with Lucas but it's the other way around and maya sacrifices her feelings so that Riley could feel for Lucas and I hate that😭😭 I love this edit tho btw❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did it make anyone else mad when Riley kissed Lucas on the cheek in girl meets Texas KNOWING MAYA LIKES HIM AND NOT TO MENTION SHE DID IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF MAYA?!?😡😡😡
It makes me mad how good Maya treats riley stepping down and EVERYTHING she does for her but seeing how BAAAD riley treats Maya sucks and I really ship lucaya...it needs to happen even if they kick riley out of their triangle...yes riley is a good person but she really needs to put MAYA'S feeling for once in her life.
Not to mention when he walked away it's so clear how she stepped back for Riley once again. But I don't think they'll show any moments between them in girl meets I Do it's mostly about the wedding I think but I can't help but hope the producers have a better mind and plan to get them together because the excuse they made of Maya becoming Riley and only liking Lucas because of it was ridiculous
I remember watching the first episode and when they met Lucas on the subway, I knew right there eventually Lucaya would be a thing and I still believe they are the endgame. This series deserved more seasons, screw Disney!
" if you never planned on loving me. why did you make me believe you did , if you already knew I'm EASY TO FOOL " Maya has been brain washed by josh, like let's see if she was told the same thing josh told her by another person ,would she believe them? FUCK NO , but when she still has feeling for josh she let's that get the better of her . and Lucas. if you could never hurt her. why didnt you look back at Maya and see how hurt she was, you could never hurt her cause you already did . GREAT VIDEO BY THE WAY
This video made me so damn emotional. I've shipped Lucaya ever since I saw the first trailer, and for the writers to wreck this ship with the bullshit of Maya 'never truly liking Lucas' is so heart wrenching. I remember when no one ever really talked much about them. You captured them in such a beautiful way, I love this.
Ik this isn't anything to do with Lucaya but is it just me that always wonders why Riley and maya get the subway to school when they could just go with Corey 😂
Because Riley wanted to be “rebel” like Maya and she thought that by getting in the subway and use lipgloss that would prove that she was rebel just like Maya
When she tells him to choose Riley he looks like he is holding it for not to cry. She´s lying to her self and if she does´t tell him to choose Riley, i think he will have chosen Maya
Maya is literally the best girl meets world character I love her so much 💕 she literally cares more about her best friend Riley’s happiness more than her own happiness and then when Shawn came into Maya’s life they were both broken and fixed each other and Riley is the second best character ❤
I'm so confused on who to ship her with. Lucas, continuously, chose Riley over Maya but Lucaya has great chemistry and their relationship is just perfect. Josh always gives her the "I'm three years older than you" speech. Before y'all start saying "BUt JoSh SaID He LiKes MaYa AnD AgReeD On DAtInG SoMEDAY" just think about everytime he was on-screen he was with flirting with other girls (e.g flirting with the tourist in 1x20) and everytime Maya saw him, she seemed upset. Josh never really paid that much attention to Maya until SL1+2 Maybe she should stick being the independent girl she is or maybe there will be no couples, maybe it'll just be Riley and Maya, as friends.
Lucas and Maya. . Lucaya. They belonged together. They still do. They were like fire, a fire I could tolerate being burned alive by. Their love felt real, which is why I love these two actors, Peyton Meyer and Sabrina Carpenter.
ohmygooood this was incredible!! the ending makes me very sad but i will never lose faith about them being endgame. The chemistry is undeniable, and them being just friends is a waste for everyone.
This was beautiful, thank you for this. After Ski Lodge I was just so lost and confused but if the god damn writers decision is to have them as just close friends then I guess I have to accept that lol. Always gonna ship it though. This shows just how much Lucaya has gone through, I'm so sad again.
First of all, great video!!!! :) Love it! Second, they looked great on the rooftop (15:32) in their winter coats. They just look naturally comfortable together. And thirdly, FOR ONCE, I'd like to hear Lucas' thoughts on the girls. With the jelly beans he kind of did but he also was just stating the facts. What does HE think of Maya? I wanted him to explain what it is he DOES like about her at 24:30. They never let him actually explain. I want more Lucas character development and make Zay a series regular for pete's sake.
“What dose he like about Maya” Gm upstate Lucas to Katy: “I care about your daughter very much. You know Maya loves to make fun of me but then in Texas she doesn’t wanna see me get hurt. She gets those feelings from someone Ms. Hart and from what I heard is isn’t her father you are a wonderful mother.” Lucas in gm creativity Lucas: “I want Maya to be happy” “your a great artist Maya” “the blonde beauty” “Lucas talks about himself like that” “he was talking about you” Lucas in gm true Maya “Maya what’s going on with you”(he noticed something was wrong with Maya before anyone else did)” “She’s cutting school?”(he sounded so worried and concerned) same with the line “Maya what did you do?” Lucas in gm ski lodge “I can never hurt you”
I ain't throwing shade, but... Lucas finds out Riley likes him and it took a whole season to ask her out and even then she was the one thaat kissed him... Lucas finds out Maya likes him and 10 minutes later he tries to kiss her I meeean... Just saying *sips tea*
I never watched the show but from what I have seen lucas and maya had more of a connection than lucas and riley. Josh&Maya seemed great too. But Lucas and riley seemed rather random to me :/ ok i just finished the video and Maya's role moves me to tears.
I have a huge problem with Riley. She seems so self centered, and maybe not exactly haughty or prideful, but she only focuses on herself, what she wants and how she feels. She has so much and yet she hardly ever supports her own best friend, especially when it comes to Lucas. She's supposed to be the sunshine one, who's happy and sweet if not a bit naive and clueless. But at times, like the time around 19:56, she throws Maya under the bus to say that she'll have 5 marriages, which is just so unnecessary already (since it insinuates Maya will have toxic relationships, is a whore, or whatever else), and then proceeds to control Maya's HYPOTHETICAL life by saying her marriages will never include Lucas. Yeah, she "stepped back" for Maya, but that was only for a few episodes, and she got jealous and controlling even while Lucas wasn't her boyfriend. When she finally figures out that Maya likes Lucas, she manipulated Maya into admitting it ("we're like sisters and sisters share everything. Even secrets".). Secrets can sometimes be good, and it's not unhealthy or wrong to hide secrets, especially when they're not harming anyone. Later on Riley also goes and keeps secrets from Maya, which is very hypocritical and tells me she didn't necessarily mean what she had said to Maya, and only said what she did to make Maya tell her. So after she manipulates Maya into sharing that secret, she also tells Lucas straight up about it. That's not her place to share MAYA'S secret and Riley didn't get permission to do that. If I was Maya, my trust in her would be severely broken. Also, Riley never tried to let Lucas in on the decision on who gets picked. Maya was the one who suggested it ("why shouldn't Lucas decide?"). When Riley complained about Maya not being herself, her reasons are completely bogus. ("You haven't got a detention or stood on a teacher's desk in a very long time!") Those things ARE NOT good, and Maya was finally leaving those things behind, she was maturing. and Maya was finally moving on and doing better mentally and emotionally, and not only was she staying OUT of trouble, she was actively doing better in classes too. Why should anyone try and complain about those things?? Riley accused Maya of copying her personality, but when Maya was saying "what's wrong with who I am now" and "I'm the same Maya I've always been. And you're going to have to show me a lot more than just new clothes and hair and a boy before I believe different", all Riley did was literally tune her own "best friend" out. Maya in the other hand, is a beautifully written character. I love her development, confidence, playfulness/wit, and her kindness. She was always there for her friends and supported them because she's loyal and dedicated. She never put herself in front of Riley, especially when it came to Lucas. She didn't want to hurt Riley, which is why she refused to "fight for/over" Lucas, which is what Riley had suggested. She wasn't a different person, she matured and grew. She still hated school, was witty and confident, and loved art. She just got better at school and didn't get into trouble, and got new clothes. The people who were supposed to support her, didn't. And Lucaya is definitely the superior ship. They had much better, natural and playful chemistry and saw each other's flaws, unlike Rucas (the fairytale), and accepted each other despite of those flaws. They brought out the best in each other, and seem to balance each other very well. They both keep each other "contained" (like when Maya found out Farkle was bullied, and when Lucas was going to teach Billy a lesson). They know each other's limits and their friendship progressed very naturally. When Maya was pretending to be Riley (the episode when she wore a brown wig), she realized Riley liked Lucas because he was like a brother figure to her, and Riley couldn't tell the difference between admiration and true romantic love; as soon as Maya realized that, she didn't want to be Riley anymore because she herself didnt want to see Lucas like that. And it's not true that Lucas picked Riley over Maya all the time. He picked Mayaville over Rileytown, which were later used as a metaphor for the girls' personalities (which kinda ties into the fact that lucas never really has a problem with Maya'spersonailty, unlike him having problems with Riley's- like when he said "sometimes you are just too much for me Riley"). He picked Riley first and more often because before, he didn't even know Maya was interested in him romantically. He also knew that Riley is a lot more fragile when it comes to affirmations and things of that nature. And like Maya, he didn't want to hurt Riley, so he picked her more often. Lucas often looks at Maya and compliments her and only her when he should be looking at Riley (like in girl meets Texas). There were so many little hints even in the first season that Lucaya was Endgame (maya met his family first, she noticed him in the subway first, that one clothing 'coincidence' with the extras, him picking mayaville over Rileyyown, Lucaya had CHEMISTRY class and Rucas had HISTORY class, Maya represents the bull which Lucas had succeeded with and Riley represented the lamb which he had failed on, Lucas wondering "what if he wanted to take the other one out?" and then called Maya the other one, Lucas saying "i like this little ferret" and later called Maya that, Maya calling him Bucky McBoing Boing while she called Josh Uncle Boing with only 1 boing, and legitimately so much more). I even bet that the writers DID have a lucaya endgame in mind but since the show didn't get renewed, the writers ran out of time to do more with the Lucaya dynamic. Rucas was always a fantasy. Riley practically idolized Lucas and could never see/acknowledge his faults, especially at first when she took interest in him due to his looks. They were rain, and Lucaya was fire (which start by sparks, coincidentally). Lucaya was reality, they started off as friends and learned to trust each other. They were natural and their dynamic was much more well-rounded and balanced. Their almost kiss held 10x more chemistry than all the Rucas scenes put together.
this is what i have in my mind ever since i've watched the gmw!!! thank you for pointing this out!! you are so right! Maya's character development was BEAUTIFUL. and Riley saying that maya is copying her, is a total bull and very selfish of her.. i mean, a best friend will never say those things to a best friend you consider as a sister.. and if I'm lucas, I'll fall in love with maya all the way !!! i don't agree with joshaya too, he wasn't really there for Maya.. And honestly, riarkle is more of a thing than smarkle and rucas.. oh i just love maya really! she deserves more! so much more! this is the best comment I've read so far related to GMW and lucaya. thanks you again!!
Perfectly said. Watching the video after so long reminded me of all the clues and setup in the show alone that made Lucaya a far more interesting ship than rucas, and it really seemed like they would be put together or at least have a good conclusion. The ski lodge episode will never fail to infuriate me.
Honestly Riley didn’t deserve Lucas because no matter how much maya liked him she protected Riley from getting hurt and maya was always broken and hurt she put her friendship before Lucas but riley only once thought about maya having feelings and backed down maya was never selfish and never put herself first that’s a real friend.
You know watching this made me realize Maya deserves someone better than Lucas. He continuously chose Riley over Maya; it actually hurts watching these two. I think he realized who he actually chose but then changed his mind when Maya told him to go to Riley. Did you see her broken smile when he left her!? How hurt she is when they had their ‘date’!? I hate that Maya’s constantly hurt. She deserves better than Lucas. Maybe it’s Josh or maybe someone else. I’ve always shipped Lucaya, but I hate how Lucas always choose Riley over Maya.
Lucus was going to choose maya in the part when maya and riley were full of purple paint. Maya never really let lucus choose she always let's him pick Riley
And it ticks me off that so many Lucaya shippers jumped ship so fast to Joshaya. Like, c'mon, are you guys really that naaive? It's Lucaya. It's always been Lucaya. Their chemistry is everything compared to Joshaya. I respect all ships, but it's hard to watch people leave something so fast, when it just doesn't have well.. 26 minutes and more of pure gold!!!
the way he said love her at the end proves everything that he loves Maya and he chose Maya Lucas and Maya tame each other and keep each other calm. There meant to be. BUT THE DIRECTER SCRIPT WRITER PEOPLE WONT LET IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay is it just me or did Farkle kinda ruin an opportunity for maya and Lucas to be together, because if Farkle would have never said anything at the New Years Eve Party Riley’s feelings wouldn’t have been exposed like that and she probably would’ve stepped back for maya and Lucas but since Farkle said something he literally opened a huge door for that love triangle 🙄
I am pissed watching how Farkle considered rile's feeling very much and somehow it looks like none of them thinking of how Maya's feeling. Idk I'm such a wreck seeing Maya-
I’m sorry but in the ski lodge episode Josh just ruined EVERYTHING with the whole u were protecting Riley crap. He broke them up so he can technically be with maya but then when maya asked to be boyfriend and girlfriend he said no. And said that he would play the long game. Like no josh just shut up you’ve ruined everything.
Something that pissed me off is what they did with Rucas. If you’re going to make them a couple, at least make them act like it. They did nothing to even show that they were dating. I actually felt bad for Rucas shippers.
It always makes me so angry. Riley: upper-middle class, healthy family, good grades, well-liked, supportive best friend, knows who she is "Make your sad face" "[puppy dog face]" Maya: working class, no dad and a mostly absent mom, bad grades, Riley is all she has, doesn't know she is. "Without Riley, I may never come back." "Where did you go?" "Did you forgive yourself?" Riley: Has a crush on a boy. Her friend likes the same boy. She steps back and lets them try to be together. He finds out she still likes him and they live 🌠happily ever after🌠 Whoopdee fuckin' doo. Maya: Finds a guy that isn't hurt when she teases him, comforts her, supports her, and keeps her out of danger. Her friend called dibs, so she helps them get together. Her friend finds out she likes him. She feels uncomfortable with the guy, knowing her friend still likes him. She struggles with her identity. A guy she thinks is attractive tells her he thinks she doesn't really like the boy, it was just part of her identity crisis. She wants it to be true, so she backs off again. The guy she likes ends up with her best friend. I do not forgive this show for what it did from the field trip episode on.
It should always have been Maya and Lucas but unfortunately he was forced with Riley. You can see the depths of it through this video and the show. The looks between them say it all

Lol let's be honest, maya is the only one who stepped back, I mean Riley may have stepped back in Texas, but she did it for what, 4 episodes? Maya hid her feeling during nearly 2 seasons, and when the others found out, she basically hid her feelings again in ski lodge, because of Riley and Josh's bullshit "you never liked him maya you just turned into my clone that's the only reason why you care about him!" "Maya you just wanted to make sure he is good for Riley, that's why you basically became another person and faked your own feelings without even realizing it!"
And as soon as farkle told Lucas and Maya that Riley hadn't gotten over Lucas she didn't step back, she didn't really put their friendship with Lucas before her interests. I mean, Maya when Maya told her that "Lucas should decide too", she basically ignored it. It bothers me so much that Maya is such a good friend, she deserves so much better than Josh and 'someday'. To me it's obvious that Lucas and Maya both wanted to be together, but couldn't because they didn't want to hurt Riley, and I would bet anything that if there had been a 4th season Lucaya would have happened.
potato potato the writers even said that in the episode of when Lucas had made his decision and maya was covered in purple paint, they said that he did chose maya
HE CHOOSE MAYA, WHAT!!! Maya does deserve way better and she deserves to be happy

You could tell maya looked sad when she told lucas to go find riley.So you know she still likes him
True Lucaya shippers watched the entire video.
Right here
i watched the whole video i love
Itstheremixjenny y I watched it all. I'm so mad at the writers for ending there ship
I couldn't watch it. i was crying when it came to the campfire scene and the new year scene. shit, i love this ship so much :"((
Right here
i just noticed that maya and lucas are kinda like how freddy and sam were from icarly. like maya would tease lucas just like sam would tease freddy and they but they both liked one another
But seddie happened 😞 😢
She's too busy focusing on Riley happiness that she keeps stepping back for her instead of getting her happy ending
ikr😢😧
even though Riley is bad friend
Chayse Jackson for real
I agree, that line from Josh about not really having feelings for Lucas, just putting herself in Riley's shoes was bull! She liked Lucas the whole time, she stepped back until her feelings eventually came out in Texas, then when things got too messy at the Ski Lodge she stepped back again. I hope the writers are smart enough to know Riley and Lucas aren't a good match and Lucaya finally happens for real!
Chris Jarma how is Riley a bad friend when she stepped bAck even in ski lodge when Lucas was talking about them shd stopped him just to ask him how maya felt so really Riley is not the bad one
Josh logic is literally. 2+2=5
OK ME
ME AND MY THOUGHTS
LITERALLY
more like 32x97=4
I still and always will think That Lucaya will be the perfect relationship. Lucas calms down Maya and he comforts her In times she really needed it. And Maya puts some flare into Lucas' life. Yea they fight but what functioning communicating relationship doesn't? I can't think of any reason why they don't belong together.
I agree, Lucas can do and say things to Maya that no one else can, she allows herself to be more vulnerable with him than pretty much everyone. He encouraged her to write her dad, he stops her from going after Farkle... and she allows it. She trusts him, which is a really big deal for her.
She was so focused on Riley's happiness she didn't even care about hers that's why she let Lucas go but I will always believe they will forever love each other
Lucaya is the most beautiful and developed ship in disney.Like seriously it doesn't make any sense how they ended the triangle? First maya all of sudden doesn't know who she is when the one who asks herself who she is in every third episode is RILEY but hey of course the one who has to STEP BACK the whole time has to have the 'find yourself' problem. And second ,and for me this one is the worst one-Josh. Let's be real: he was OBSERVING maya? WHEN? When he was crying over that older girl who didn't want to date him? Or when he ignored her because she was a child`? Or no wait when he was at college for the whole time except for 3-5 episodes? and in the first 3 he ignored her? He wasn't there for her.He wasn't there to see how she developed .How can HE knows what she is like,what she loves/likes and what she wants? YUp,HE CAN NOT. All he did was putting things into Maya head ,he made maya to think she never liked Lucas and just was trying to protect riley BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. He was trying to protect riley,to make her get the boy-But not because he likes maya,he doesn't. All this 'someday' is ridiculous.as if he would wait for so long and has feelings for her-No he just doesn't . She said she doesn't want a good guy..But didn't she say once that josh is a good guy? YOU SEE? ALL THIS STORYLINE IS SO UNSTEADY.I know it's disney but Lucaya (also riarkle) has so much mature potential.But it has to be so disney-The main character wins and all of sudden the other 'love interesse' of the character who has to step back 24/7 so the main character gets what she wants knows ALL of her.Did the fairy godmother bibidi babidi bu's Josh's brain with informations about maya or did I miss the was there the whole time?Don't get me wrong I love the friendship betwenn Maya and rileyit's so pure BUT if you say riley treats maya as good as she does treat riley you are lying to yourself.Yes riley stepped back for few episodes-MAYA FOR 2 YEARS and in the end she stepped back again,great .And let's not forget how much riley stressed maya when she was feeling bad and confused with asking her the whole time if she still likes lucas- bay friend.I dislike Riley (except for sometimes specially scenes with farkle) but that's not the reason I see her as a bad friend for sometimes.So again: Maya stepped back again.And I still believe in Lucaya maybe the writters realize which huge mistake they made and even if Lucaya does not end up together: They are the most beautiful ship in disney and ofc in gmw.I will always ship them and hate Joshaya&Rucas.
Fangirl Mood PREACH! I agree with everything that you said in this comment ❤❤❤
PERIODT
period
ENTENDA QUE >SEMPRE< FOI RILEY E LUCAS
Fax
honestly i feel like lucas changed his decision after Maya told him that either way he would've picked Riley. I think he was starting to feel like maya wasn't into him anymore
Kiara Perez Watch the part again because she says at first (sarcastically) that he chose maya and you can tell he chose riley
Maddi Baldwin They’re talking about the ending scene of Girl Meets Upstate, not Skii Lodge.
Maddi Baldwin no ur thinking abt the wrong episode lol either way Lucaya is WAYYYY better than Rucas
@@maddibaldwin4589 Lucaya are much better so calm down girl
"but we're like a summer rain!" "and they're like fiyah" HAHA I still can't get over that, it'll forever be my favorite moment lol
Even the students liked them together better.
How can the writers think we will believe this was a fake
The writers really tried to act like lucaya wasn’t real when the evidence is all around us
The way Lucas looks at Riley can never be as intense and loving as the way he looks at Maya. When he is supposed to look at Riley, like when she's dancing in front of the class, and when she comes out with the Texan outfit, he still looks at Maya. Rucas's kiss can't even have half the connection in Lucaya's almost kiss. Lucaya have deep conversations together that Rucas never had. Lucas chose Riley cuz Maya told him so, cuz he cared about her.
I feel like Riley is stuck in a fairytale where she has to be with the prince or popular hot looking guy aka Lucas when in reality she's supposed to be with the nerd aka Farkle Bc they look ever other but are too afraid to go any further than
Also I feel like Maya didn't become Riley, that's just what everyone keeps telling her. Maya must have been feeling confused and her mind was gone for a while trying to figure everything out but she didn't become Riley
"i know that you step back" than why doesn't Riley realize she step back again!!!
Because Riley thinks that Maya doesn't or never had feelings for Lucas.
Sarah Anne
But she does.!!! Riley just wants to think that so she(Riley) can have Lucas.! Because she's a selfish b*tch.!
Shay K no acutally ski lodge Riley even stopped Lucas from talking about them to ask Lucas well will Maya be ok so don't even say Riley is a bad friend when she stepped back just as much
Andrea Cantu it's mayas fAult for pushing them together in th e first place Maya is like the worst friend ever for that it was hard for Riley to give up her first true crush I mean and even after lucas picked her she was still caring for Maya that's why shr said will Maya be ok becuse she knows how maya is this was Mayas fault for putting them together clearly she doesn't care for rileys feelings in the first place if shes going after the guy she pushed for Riley that's not a true friend that's a backstabber
Shay K it's mayas fault for pushing them together tbhh Maya is the backstabber tbhh shes like the worst friend ever Riley gave up and gave everything to make maya feel happy and to give her the happy ending Maya didn't care about Riley she only cared about Lucas that's why she brought him up never once even talked to Riley what kind of friend does that if anyone is selfish it's Maya she's the one who took rileys man so wanna talk about selish that's Maya not Riley recheck and watch the show Riley gave up everything for Maya and Maya was too busy caring about lucas to see it
rucas could never be on this level of amazing
so true
Yes right i know right for life
26 MINUTES OF LUCAYA?! LET ME JUST GRAB THE POPCORN
Yess
same
same
hopingdreamingx SKAM
hopingdreamingx there is another one of these but its 31 minutes
i miss all the lucaya moments. even the subtle ones wherein at first you'd think it's nothing but then you replay it and then you'd be like omg they had a moment!!!
OH MY THE MEMORIESSS WHEN THE LUCAYA NATION WAS OUR LIL SECRET
Oh the nostalgia :(
I think lucas likes when maya calls him by his nicknames, because it said 'did you just call me by my real name?!'
Maddy Play's Roblox
He was surprised because he usually doesn't expect that from Maya lol
Riley never stepped back, and said "Lucas is mine" when in reality, Lucas isnt hers, and Maya was the one who stepped back when she was the cause of both Lucas and Riley being together in the subway. I feel like Maya is the mature one, and Lucas should be with a more mature person, than being with someone who claimed a guy when the guy was still deciding who to pick
i thought riley and lucas were like brother and sister why are they together
Hannah I don't think any of them seen each other as brother or sister
Lucas could never hurt Maya. However, in Girl Meets Permanent Record, he calls Riley a loser in the following conversation.
L: *comes in bay window* I'm you.
R: You're me?
L: Yeah, I'm a loser.
When Maya says he chose Riley, his smile disappears instantly because she's wrong. From day one, he has wanted her to be happy, so when she tells him to go to Riley he does, because it's what she wanted him to do. But, she only tells him to because she let Josh and Riley convince her that she only liked him because she became Riley. It's impossible to become someone else.
When the girls ran off to Shawn's house and Lucas was talking to their parents, everything he said was directed not to Topanga, but to Katy.
The evidence is even in the moments of physial contact. With Rucas, Riley initiates everything, but with Lucaya it's a pretty even split.
Lucas and Maya are the only ones who can "contain" each other's anger.
When they talk about faith, Maya takes Lucas' advice and not her "best friend's" advice.
I put best friend in quotations because what kind of friend acts like that. Riley is a drama queen, always putting her problems and desires ahead of Maya's until she looks up long enough to realize that she's losing Maya. Even then, when Maya says it shouldn't be just them that decides what happens, that Lucas should get to decide, Riley ignores it and says she's taking Lucas. Part of her argument is that Lucas is her boyfriend, but last I checked, the last episode any of them went on a date was before New Year's and it was Maya and Lucas. We never actually see or hear about them breaking up.
Rucas is a forced wannabe Corpanga clone, but all the real parallels are in Lucaya, even the seating arrangement in every class.
And here's an added little piece of wisdom. I don't remember where it came from.
If you love two people, choose the second, because if you truly loved the first, you wouldn't have fallen for the second.
Lucas loved Riley first, but still fell in love with Maya, and that is why they belong together.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
Lucaya has always been endgame since beginning. Lucaya Nation! Also, you've made me cry. so bad.
When Josh told Maya she didn't actually liked Lucas she believed, but the second she looked at Lucas again she knew she really did liked him but stepped back because Riley is that important to her ;; but Lucas and Riley were never meant for each other, it's been years and I'm still sure Lucaya was meant to be, I mean, after all of this in the Christmas episode I think, Lucas went home and he didn't even told Riley and then Maya got him as a secret santa thing but then because the show was cancelled it was left at that 😣
Lucas should watch this and realize he made the wrong decision.
Hey we all know Lucas chose Maya bc when you watch gm upstate he was saying so much stuff about Maya to Katy and he even admires her!! He also had a disappointing face when Maya said “it doesn’t matter bc you picked Riley”
This was so incredible it made me cry...long live lucaya
Thank you!! Seriously long live forever and hopefully it's not over
+Lucaya X. Did she step back again? Because she said "Riley is right, this triangle needs to be killed and there is only one way to do it" so she said she didn't like Lucas, even tho she did?
+Aesthetic Gamer Well lets put it this way, Maya still had hope at the end of True Maya if her painting had anything to go by, but in I Do, she lost hope. What episode is between them? Ski Lodge. So something happened in Ski Lodge to make Maya into "hope is for suckers" mode again. I think you can guess what that something is. Isn't it interesting though, that she is "hopeless" for the majority of that episode, especially since it's right after Ski Lodge, where she apparently got what she "wanted": Josh. I honestly don't think she is aware that she's stepping back again. I think she really thinks, or really want to believe, that she wants Josh right now because Riley had digressed Maya's character into season 1 Maya. But since this show is told through Riley's POV, we won't know that answer until Riley becomes aware of what's happening.
Faith Ann 100th like
riley to maya: “you’re going to get everything you want in life”
*SIS SHE WANTED LUCAS AND YOU THREW A TANTRUM UNTIL IT ENDED UP NEVER HAPPENING*
People always say that Rikey stepped back for maya and let maya go out on a date with Lucas but it's the other way around and maya sacrifices her feelings so that Riley could feel for Lucas and I hate that😭😭 I love this edit tho btw❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every time Lucas and Miya have a connection Riley face changes or she has to make it about her self
even though he picked Riley Rucas will NEVER EVER be as awesome a couple as Lucaya
Ikr literally NEVER EVER.
I believe Lucas and Riley they weren't meant to be!
Exactly!
Marheya Merritt RIARKLE IS AWESOME!
Did it make anyone else mad when Riley kissed Lucas on the cheek in girl meets Texas KNOWING MAYA LIKES HIM AND NOT TO MENTION SHE DID IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF MAYA?!?😡😡😡
When maya says " I don't like Lucas that " because she was " Riley " well because she likes him in a different way ❤️Lucaya forever❤️
It makes me mad how good Maya treats riley stepping down and EVERYTHING she does for her but seeing how BAAAD riley treats Maya sucks and I really ship lucaya...it needs to happen even if they kick riley out of their triangle...yes riley is a good person but she really needs to put MAYA'S feeling for once in her life.
If Maya is still sad when they hugged and you can feel the heartbreak but you'll never know what could happen in GM I do
Not to mention when he walked away it's so clear how she stepped back for Riley once again. But I don't think they'll show any moments between them in girl meets I Do it's mostly about the wedding I think but I can't help but hope the producers have a better mind and plan to get them together because the excuse they made of Maya becoming Riley and only liking Lucas because of it was ridiculous
+Xtinejay18 I'm pretty sure that in GM I do we will see how by giving up on Lucas she losses any hope and goes back to where she began.
your right
"They're like fire" refers to the scene in girl meets texas where riley tells lucas how maya feels about him
And a summer rain is only temporary and is a parallel to Cory and Lauren.
I don't watch the show but I think Lucas and Maya have more chemistry than Lucas and Riley
I remember watching the first episode and when they met Lucas on the subway, I knew right there eventually Lucaya would be a thing and I still believe they are the endgame. This series deserved more seasons, screw Disney!
" if you never planned on loving me. why did you make me believe you did , if you already knew I'm EASY TO FOOL " Maya has been brain washed by josh, like let's see if she was told the same thing josh told her by another person ,would she believe them? FUCK NO , but when she still has feeling for josh she let's that get the better of her . and Lucas. if you could never hurt her. why didnt you look back at Maya and see how hurt she was, you could never hurt her cause you already did . GREAT VIDEO BY THE WAY
Lucaya still the best ship, no matter what 😭💜
This video made me so damn emotional. I've shipped Lucaya ever since I saw the first trailer, and for the writers to wreck this ship with the bullshit of Maya 'never truly liking Lucas' is so heart wrenching. I remember when no one ever really talked much about them. You captured them in such a beautiful way, I love this.
Ik this isn't anything to do with Lucaya but is it just me that always wonders why Riley and maya get the subway to school when they could just go with Corey 😂
Jess Prince omg I literally always wondered the same thing omg I'm not the only one 😄😄😄😄
Because Riley wanted to be “rebel” like Maya and she thought that by getting in the subway and use lipgloss that would prove that she was rebel just like Maya
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS I WILL NEVER EVER SHIP RUCAS FOR ANY REASON..WHOS WITH ME!?!?!? #LUCAYANATION
When she tells him to choose Riley he looks like he is holding it for not to cry. She´s lying to her self and if she does´t tell him to choose Riley, i think he will have chosen Maya
Maya is literally the best girl meets world character I love her so much 💕 she literally cares more about her best friend Riley’s happiness more than her own happiness and then when Shawn came into Maya’s life they were both broken and fixed each other and Riley is the second best character ❤
It’s been like 6 years and I’m still not over it. Still petty about lucaya not being endgame. Even though in my heart they are
I'm so confused on who to ship her with. Lucas, continuously, chose Riley over Maya but Lucaya has great chemistry and their relationship is just perfect.
Josh always gives her the "I'm three years older than you" speech. Before y'all start saying "BUt JoSh SaID He LiKes MaYa AnD AgReeD On DAtInG SoMEDAY" just think about everytime he was on-screen he was with flirting with other girls (e.g flirting with the tourist in 1x20) and everytime Maya saw him, she seemed upset. Josh never really paid that much attention to Maya until SL1+2
Maybe she should stick being the independent girl she is or maybe there will be no couples, maybe it'll just be Riley and Maya, as friends.
Lucas and Maya. . Lucaya. They belonged together. They still do. They were like fire, a fire I could tolerate being burned alive by. Their love felt real, which is why I love these two actors, Peyton Meyer and Sabrina Carpenter.
ohmygooood this was incredible!! the ending makes me very sad but i will never lose faith about them being endgame. The chemistry is undeniable, and them being just friends is a waste for everyone.
This was beautiful, thank you for this. After Ski Lodge I was just so lost and confused but if the god damn writers decision is to have them as just close friends then I guess I have to accept that lol. Always gonna ship it though. This shows just how much Lucaya has gone through, I'm so sad again.
this deserves more views. you've given me hope that there is more of the ship that we've yet to see. this was truly beautiful.
Sooooo sad! Maya baby why did u step back again!
Lucas and Riley never had that moment at the campfire he chose Riley but Lucas and maya forever
The part where she says course i like you breaks my heart
Same 😭😭😭
First of all, great video!!!! :) Love it! Second, they looked great on the rooftop (15:32) in their winter coats. They just look naturally comfortable together. And thirdly, FOR ONCE, I'd like to hear Lucas' thoughts on the girls. With the jelly beans he kind of did but he also was just stating the facts. What does HE think of Maya? I wanted him to explain what it is he DOES like about her at 24:30. They never let him actually explain. I want more Lucas character development and make Zay a series regular for pete's sake.
“What dose he like about Maya”
Gm upstate
Lucas to Katy: “I care about your daughter very much. You know Maya loves to make fun of me but then in Texas she doesn’t wanna see me get hurt. She gets those feelings from someone Ms. Hart and from what I heard is isn’t her father you are a wonderful mother.”
Lucas in gm creativity
Lucas: “I want Maya to be happy” “your a great artist Maya” “the blonde beauty” “Lucas talks about himself like that” “he was talking about you”
Lucas in gm true Maya
“Maya what’s going on with you”(he noticed something was wrong with Maya before anyone else did)”
“She’s cutting school?”(he sounded so worried and concerned) same with the line “Maya what did you do?”
Lucas in gm ski lodge
“I can never hurt you”
Maya met Lucas' mom already, but what about Riley? Lol never happening #Lucaya
En que cap conoce a la mamá de Lucas?
Josh is such a manipulator. He didn’t want to be with Maya, but he didn’t want her to be with anyone.
I thought i was over lucaya yet.. here i am .. mad all over again
Even though Lucas has 'chosen' Riley, Lucaya has an amazing chemistry and there are so many subtle hints that Lucaya will end up together somehow
I ain't throwing shade, but... Lucas finds out Riley likes him and it took a whole season to ask her out and even then she was the one thaat kissed him... Lucas finds out Maya likes him and 10 minutes later he tries to kiss her
I meeean... Just saying *sips tea*
I was so happy .... and then so incredibly pissed off ... can't wait till I'm happy again #LucayaForever
Best lucaya vid by far I have actual tears
Lucas + Maya = 😍❤️💞
Through all this what I realised is, I NEED A FARKLE
The best 26 minutes of my life
You did such a good job editing this💗 I cryed at the end 😭😭💗💗💗😭😭😭😭.
I'm speechless... Well done! So many feelings! Love lucaya ❤️
Comment for team Riley+Lucas
Like for team maya+Lucas
lucaya still rules😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I never watched the show but from what I have seen lucas and maya had more of a connection than lucas and riley. Josh&Maya seemed great too. But Lucas and riley seemed rather random to me :/ ok i just finished the video and Maya's role moves me to tears.
I have a huge problem with Riley. She seems so self centered, and maybe not exactly haughty or prideful, but she only focuses on herself, what she wants and how she feels. She has so much and yet she hardly ever supports her own best friend, especially when it comes to Lucas. She's supposed to be the sunshine one, who's happy and sweet if not a bit naive and clueless. But at times, like the time around 19:56, she throws Maya under the bus to say that she'll have 5 marriages, which is just so unnecessary already (since it insinuates Maya will have toxic relationships, is a whore, or whatever else), and then proceeds to control Maya's HYPOTHETICAL life by saying her marriages will never include Lucas. Yeah, she "stepped back" for Maya, but that was only for a few episodes, and she got jealous and controlling even while Lucas wasn't her boyfriend. When she finally figures out that Maya likes Lucas, she manipulated Maya into admitting it ("we're like sisters and sisters share everything. Even secrets".). Secrets can sometimes be good, and it's not unhealthy or wrong to hide secrets, especially when they're not harming anyone. Later on Riley also goes and keeps secrets from Maya, which is very hypocritical and tells me she didn't necessarily mean what she had said to Maya, and only said what she did to make Maya tell her. So after she manipulates Maya into sharing that secret, she also tells Lucas straight up about it. That's not her place to share MAYA'S secret and Riley didn't get permission to do that. If I was Maya, my trust in her would be severely broken. Also, Riley never tried to let Lucas in on the decision on who gets picked. Maya was the one who suggested it ("why shouldn't Lucas decide?"). When Riley complained about Maya not being herself, her reasons are completely bogus. ("You haven't got a detention or stood on a teacher's desk in a very long time!") Those things ARE NOT good, and Maya was finally leaving those things behind, she was maturing. and Maya was finally moving on and doing better mentally and emotionally, and not only was she staying OUT of trouble, she was actively doing better in classes too. Why should anyone try and complain about those things?? Riley accused Maya of copying her personality, but when Maya was saying "what's wrong with who I am now" and "I'm the same Maya I've always been. And you're going to have to show me a lot more than just new clothes and hair and a boy before I believe different", all Riley did was literally tune her own "best friend" out.
Maya in the other hand, is a beautifully written character. I love her development, confidence, playfulness/wit, and her kindness. She was always there for her friends and supported them because she's loyal and dedicated. She never put herself in front of Riley, especially when it came to Lucas. She didn't want to hurt Riley, which is why she refused to "fight for/over" Lucas, which is what Riley had suggested. She wasn't a different person, she matured and grew. She still hated school, was witty and confident, and loved art. She just got better at school and didn't get into trouble, and got new clothes. The people who were supposed to support her, didn't.
And Lucaya is definitely the superior ship. They had much better, natural and playful chemistry and saw each other's flaws, unlike Rucas (the fairytale), and accepted each other despite of those flaws. They brought out the best in each other, and seem to balance each other very well. They both keep each other "contained" (like when Maya found out Farkle was bullied, and when Lucas was going to teach Billy a lesson). They know each other's limits and their friendship progressed very naturally. When Maya was pretending to be Riley (the episode when she wore a brown wig), she realized Riley liked Lucas because he was like a brother figure to her, and Riley couldn't tell the difference between admiration and true romantic love; as soon as Maya realized that, she didn't want to be Riley anymore because she herself didnt want to see Lucas like that. And it's not true that Lucas picked Riley over Maya all the time. He picked Mayaville over Rileytown, which were later used as a metaphor for the girls' personalities (which kinda ties into the fact that lucas never really has a problem with Maya'spersonailty, unlike him having problems with Riley's- like when he said "sometimes you are just too much for me Riley"). He picked Riley first and more often because before, he didn't even know Maya was interested in him romantically. He also knew that Riley is a lot more fragile when it comes to affirmations and things of that nature. And like Maya, he didn't want to hurt Riley, so he picked her more often. Lucas often looks at Maya and compliments her and only her when he should be looking at Riley (like in girl meets Texas). There were so many little hints even in the first season that Lucaya was Endgame (maya met his family first, she noticed him in the subway first, that one clothing 'coincidence' with the extras, him picking mayaville over Rileyyown, Lucaya had CHEMISTRY class and Rucas had HISTORY class, Maya represents the bull which Lucas had succeeded with and Riley represented the lamb which he had failed on, Lucas wondering "what if he wanted to take the other one out?" and then called Maya the other one, Lucas saying "i like this little ferret" and later called Maya that, Maya calling him Bucky McBoing Boing while she called Josh Uncle Boing with only 1 boing, and legitimately so much more). I even bet that the writers DID have a lucaya endgame in mind but since the show didn't get renewed, the writers ran out of time to do more with the Lucaya dynamic.
Rucas was always a fantasy. Riley practically idolized Lucas and could never see/acknowledge his faults, especially at first when she took interest in him due to his looks. They were rain, and Lucaya was fire (which start by sparks, coincidentally). Lucaya was reality, they started off as friends and learned to trust each other. They were natural and their dynamic was much more well-rounded and balanced. Their almost kiss held 10x more chemistry than all the Rucas scenes put together.
this is what i have in my mind ever since i've watched the gmw!!! thank you for pointing this out!! you are so right! Maya's character development was BEAUTIFUL. and Riley saying that maya is copying her, is a total bull and very selfish of her.. i mean, a best friend will never say those things to a best friend you consider as a sister.. and if I'm lucas, I'll fall in love with maya all the way !!! i don't agree with joshaya too, he wasn't really there for Maya.. And honestly, riarkle is more of a thing than smarkle and rucas..
oh i just love maya really! she deserves more! so much more! this is the best comment I've read so far related to GMW and lucaya. thanks you again!!
Thank you said exactly what I was thinking
Perfectly said. Watching the video after so long reminded me of all the clues and setup in the show alone that made Lucaya a far more interesting ship than rucas, and it really seemed like they would be put together or at least have a good conclusion. The ski lodge episode will never fail to infuriate me.
Nicely put
I honestly don't care who ends up with who, I'm all peybrina in reality
Maya met his mother first👀❤️💕😍😍😍😫😭😍🌸
LOVE STORY LUCAYA PLEASE
Honestly Riley didn’t deserve Lucas because no matter how much maya liked him she protected Riley from getting hurt and maya was always broken and hurt she put her friendship before Lucas but riley only once thought about maya having feelings and backed down maya was never selfish and never put herself first that’s a real friend.
When anyone ever says something about her remotely liking him Maya stands up and defend it so much instead of just excepting it
I really wish GMW continued... 💔
You know watching this made me realize Maya deserves someone better than Lucas. He continuously chose Riley over Maya; it actually hurts watching these two. I think he realized who he actually chose but then changed his mind when Maya told him to go to Riley. Did you see her broken smile when he left her!? How hurt she is when they had their ‘date’!? I hate that Maya’s constantly hurt. She deserves better than Lucas. Maybe it’s Josh or maybe someone else. I’ve always shipped Lucaya, but I hate how Lucas always choose Riley over Maya.
Lucus was going to choose maya in the part when maya and riley were full of purple paint. Maya never really let lucus choose she always let's him pick Riley
THEY LOOOK LIKE BABIESSS!
Totally agree . Lucaya for ever
The problem is Josh¡Josh is the problem!😱
And it ticks me off that so many Lucaya shippers jumped ship so fast to Joshaya. Like, c'mon, are you guys really that naaive? It's Lucaya. It's always been Lucaya. Their chemistry is everything compared to Joshaya. I respect all ships, but it's hard to watch people leave something so fast, when it just doesn't have well.. 26 minutes and more of pure gold!!!
The writers are the problem.
+iloveboyz27 Exactly!!! Josh told Maya how she was feeling for Lucas.
How did Josh know that?! WTF:/
+Aries Smith didnt he just assume, plus he likes Maya. but he doesn't want her to more on.
+Chris Jarma Yep *w*
The glo up is so real!😍👏🏾✨
the way he said love her at the end proves everything that he loves Maya and he chose Maya Lucas and Maya tame each other and keep each other calm. There meant to be. BUT THE DIRECTER SCRIPT WRITER PEOPLE WONT LET IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot so say: I am in love with this video-Amazing job! In the end I cried.Perfect music,perfect moments.Just perfect :)
Stydia one direction mnvmcmxmzmmkx
if gmw goes to netflix, lucaya could happen.
26 minutes of Lucaya I AM READY GIMME ALL OF IT
LUCAYA shall always be a thing!!!!
Okay is it just me or did Farkle kinda ruin an opportunity for maya and Lucas to be together, because if Farkle would have never said anything at the New Years Eve Party Riley’s feelings wouldn’t have been exposed like that and she probably would’ve stepped back for maya and Lucas but since Farkle said something he literally opened a huge door for that love triangle 🙄
I am pissed watching how Farkle considered rile's feeling very much and somehow it looks like none of them thinking of how Maya's feeling. Idk I'm such a wreck seeing Maya-
I’m sorry but in the ski lodge episode Josh just ruined EVERYTHING with the whole u were protecting Riley crap. He broke them up so he can technically be with maya but then when maya asked to be boyfriend and girlfriend he said no. And said that he would play the long game. Like no josh just shut up you’ve ruined everything.
Their friendship is so cute lol
"You're a great artist Maya"
'You're a great artist Keefe"
Parallels anyone?
Something that pissed me off is what they did with Rucas. If you’re going to make them a couple, at least make them act like it. They did nothing to even show that they were dating. I actually felt bad for Rucas shippers.
It always makes me so angry.
Riley: upper-middle class, healthy family, good grades, well-liked, supportive best friend, knows who she is
"Make your sad face" "[puppy dog face]"
Maya: working class, no dad and a mostly absent mom, bad grades, Riley is all she has, doesn't know she is.
"Without Riley, I may never come back."
"Where did you go?"
"Did you forgive yourself?"
Riley: Has a crush on a boy. Her friend likes the same boy. She steps back and lets them try to be together. He finds out she still likes him and they live 🌠happily ever after🌠 Whoopdee fuckin' doo.
Maya: Finds a guy that isn't hurt when she teases him, comforts her, supports her, and keeps her out of danger. Her friend called dibs, so she helps them get together. Her friend finds out she likes him. She feels uncomfortable with the guy, knowing her friend still likes him. She struggles with her identity. A guy she thinks is attractive tells her he thinks she doesn't really like the boy, it was just part of her identity crisis. She wants it to be true, so she backs off again.

I do not forgive this show for what it did from the field trip episode on.
