Another reason to best leave Disney Channel in the past (besides it’s teen stereotypes that is part of what makes it the Nickelodeon (which will always be even worse because the teens in the sitcoms are even more stereotypical with even better-deserved breakups like the end of Seddie (Sam Puckett x Freddie Benson) in iCarly, Demma (Daniel Miller x Emma Alonso) in Every Witch Way and Jeck (Jade West x Beck Oliver) in Victorious) of Disney) would have to be the way it treated it’s child stars from Orlando Brown (That’s So Raven) to Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) to David Henrie & Jake T.

[@student8663]

One I think actually belongs here is Alex and Mason during the wizard of the year award because he was being petty and didn't believe her and just generally childish with how jealous he was as though it wasn't even about loving or wanting to be with Alex but just despising Chase and it was so refreshing for 2 good looking boys to look to the main character asking her to pick one of them and for her to say 'neither'

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

Yes!

[@Kloyster2010]

To me, that was alex's fault, her saying "it's official" bugged me, he had a right to be mad and I hate chase too ALSO it made me even more mad at alex when she said "I would've believed you mason" like did she forget about the Juliet thing? Also he's a werewolf, a dog, that's how dogs act when they haven't saw that person they loved in YEARS.

[@Kikiricki11]

@@Kloyster2010 She was being sarcastic when she said "it's official" and since Mason was not actually present at the time he had to choose between believing Alex or not believing Alex and he chose not to believe her. As for the situation with Mason and Juliet: Alex was there. Present. She heard what he said and then in the end she DOES go with him because he begged her to because she did understand that maybe that's true. So.. your point of her having done the same thing is null as she didn't do the same thing and it was an entirely different situation to begin with. One was the partner being present and the other is the partner not being present.

The fact that Spencer said "is there anything I can do to change your mind" really shows that he hadn't changed and that he was trying to push her to say yes he was kinda trying to control her and kinda trying to guilt trip her with the "I'm still in love you". That shows that he was still a toxic person. He had already cheated and that is just red flags and toxicity on top of the fact he cheated

[@pancakesxoxo1064]

Rucas was really boring like every other predictable Disney ship.. Lucaya's relationship felt kind of mature in a way.. and whenever they talked we could feel the tension in the air, that's what I loved about them! There is also involvement of the actors in this. I remember Peyton and Rowan mentioned many times how awkward they were while filming those scenes ( which is understandable) and it showed. But the writers made the awkwardness look like their 'thing' which just didn't work out.. While on the other hand Riarkle was so much better.. but unfortunately they didn't get many scenes.. but we could see they were so much more comfortable.

I was rooting for Miley and Jake as a kid because I truly felt like he had the power to change. Plus, they made a big deal about him coming back for the Jake-Miley-Jesse love triangle and it kind of irritated me when they broke up for the final time in season 4, especially when Disney did that whole "He Could Be the One" stuff. Watching clips of the show now, though, I do find it strange that Jake liked Miley because she didn't care for him being a celebrity, yet he made no effort to try fit in and be a regular guy. He liked that special treatment he got at school, didn't he?!?!

[@thylionheart]

The funny thing about Rini to me is that there’s a group chat on tumblr full of Rina fans and we literally broke down during s1 exactly why Rini was a doomed ship-we talked about the characters’ needs and motives and psychology and analyzed their dialogue and whatnot. And we saw the Rini breakup coming for ages and ages. It wasn’t just from a “we want our ship to sail” perspective, but a “here is a detailed breakdown of why Rini is fundamentally unhealthy and won’t last.” And it’s surprising to me that lots of people are still surprised that Rini sank when to me and to a good chunk of other people, the writing was on the wall from the beginning. Yes, this comment is partially me tooting my own horn. It feels good to predict something correctly. But mostly I made this comment to say that there are people in the fandom who were not surprised about Rini’s trajectory at all.

@@Mia_Myeah that’s true

[@thylionheart]

Ricky and Nini’s needs are fundamentally opposed. Ricky has a broken family and desires stability and has abandonment issues stemming from his mother, while Nini desires change and independence and seeking new horizons. I will say that I don’t like how the show paints everything like it’s Ricky’s fault when he’s the one with literal trauma from his parents’ divorce and he’s clearly going through a ton emotionally and mentally and struggling with mental health issues, meanwhile Nini is getting everything handed to her (she basically writes songs and then either Kourtney calls the Dean of YAC to get her into the school or her moms pay for the expensive school and don’t question her leaving it or Carlos records her song without her permission and makes her go viral or Gina hands her the number of a music producer-where is Nini’s agency? why isn’t she the one to stick her neck out there and receive success by her own actions?) and doesn’t have much conflict in her personal life that isn’t a result of her choosing to not communicate with Ricky. Also, Nini telling Ricky that the Rose Song wasn’t about him and their relationship when multiple characters asked him if he was okay bc the song was so clearly about him and when Nini (the Rose) said it was from the Rose’s perspective talking about the Beast (Ricky) and the song had nothing to do with the actual themes of BATB…..that’s straight up gaslighting. No I’m not kidding. Instead of being honest with him she tried to convince him that *he* was being out of line, crazy, reading into things, being unsupportive when he was so clearly trying to be supportive while struggling with doubts and insecurities…..Rini is a wildly unhealthy ship and I’m so glad they broke up. Edit: Yes, Ricky is clingy. But we know *why* he’s clingy. It’s because he’s terrified of being like his parents. He wants to give his all and do everything he can to salvage his relationship with Nini, to the point of being far too clingy and not saying when he’s upset or has an issue with an aspect of their relationship until he’s at his breaking point. He goes so far as to blame himself for Nini not telling him she’s moving to another state when she knows, well and truly knows, that he has abandonment issues stemming from his mother moving away before the divorce was even announced. It’s not healthy and he recognizes that in the break up scene by saying he doesn’t like who he’s becoming. Meanwhile, what reasons does Nini have for not communicating? Why doesn’t she tell Ricky her issues with his clinginess and instead complain to Kourtney about it? Why does she get excited when a song that wrote to vent about her frustrations with Ricky goes viral and humiliates him? The Rose Song further traumatized Ricky (no I’m not kidding) by putting his relationship and the private struggles within it on full blast for not only the entirety of his high school to see, but the world. Now everyone in his school probably knows him as “the boy in The Rose Song.” And when Ricky didn’t show 100% support, Nini immediately got upset and told him that not everything is about him. The irony is that most of season 2, Ricky is very visibly doing his absolute best to be supportive while clearly struggling with not being honest about the things in the relationship that are hurting him. Meanwhile Nini is also not being honest, but being unsupportive while doing it. Everyone is so quick to blame Ricky for everything, inside and outside the show, when he’s the one with very clear psychological reasons for every action he makes, whilst Nini is the one with consistently selfish motives who gets upset when the focus and support isn’t constantly on her. There’s a way to write a story where you root for the main character striving for independence, fame and success, and Nini is *not it.*

[@sabahk]

right! Nini just bothered me a lot this season. It felt like any personality she had was just gone and she didn't really care about ricky at all. Even though ricky did some bad stuff and was way too clingy, he was easier to empathize with

[@Beny763]

Nini probably became my least favourite character in the show. If the rumours are true that Olivia might leave and won´t return for a potential season 3 I wouldn´t even be mad about it. I mean, her voice is great, but I´m just kinda done with her character. Also, if she is gone, atleast they can distribute the solo´s more equally, instead of giving her like... 4 songs while the others get maybe 1-2 I get the whole "chasing your dreams, be independant" thing. But I think a big part of this show is the group dynamic, and how they are sticking together. And Nini just felt completely disconnected from everyone for a majority of the season. The only time I felt her reconnect with the others a little bit was in the penultimate episode, and it felt a little too late. How she treated and handled the relationship with Ricky was one of the worst parts of her. Sure Ricky is clingy, and definitely partly to blame for their issues. But she was just a horrible girlfriend? Talk about your issues with him instead of putting them into a song and then send a bunch of mixed signals to him and make him even more stressed out, which causes him to try to cling to the relationship even harder.

[@sabahk]

@@Beny763 couldn't agree more. It also feels like they were going for another "all i want" with the rose song but I just didn't care for it. How could I care about her song when I don't care about her character? Also how is it related to beauty and the beast at all??

I think with Ricky and Nini, there was a sense of maturity in their break up. They realized (and Ricky initiated, which is huge) that they were holding each other back. They saw that their relationship wasn't as healthy as it once was, or could have been, so they decided that breaking up was the best route to go. Personally, this break up was a favorite for me because it showed us that Ricky realized his actions and decided to do something about it because he saw it was toxic. And honesty, I respect that. I'm very interested to see what happens with Lily in the future, and what Nini thinks and how their friendship develops

[@maplepainttube8158]

I didn't watch all of good luck charlie, I think I stopped watching sometime after Teddy and Spencer broke up after he cheated, and before they got back together (No real reason why I stopped watching, I just wasn't watching a lot of TV in general at that time). So most of what I know about them getting back together and their relationship afterwards comes from your videos. And though I don't know exactly what happened that convinced Teddy to forgive him, it still in principle bugs me that they get back together after he cheats. It's just such a betrayal that I wouldn't really expect anyone to go through the copious amount of time and work to regain that trust and to prove that they would never do never do it again, especially when there are so many people out there who would just never break that trust in the first place. And this is based just on the clip you showed, but his reaction during their second break up makes me question if Spencer really has changed. Like... this is going to be hard to explain. But I believe Spencer means it when he says "I love you" but I feel like there's an important thing missing behind his "I love you," which is "I care about you." You would think an "I love you" would automatically imply "I care about you" but it doesn't. Spencer's "I love you" feels more like an "I care about you [on the condition that we're dating]" But I don't think there's any intentional malice on Spencer's part in his claim to love Teddy. I don't think he's actively thinking, "I'll only be in your life if you date me otherwise I'm going to shut you out for the crime of not being with me." The only thing he is likely thinking is, "I love Teddy and want to be with her no matter what" And from his perspective that's a fair and unproblematic sentiment... but I don't think he's fully grasped the way he centers himself in everything. I think there's an understated self centeredness in the way Spencer feels things. Like, I don't think he believes other should treat him as a king and I don't think he'd go around being mean to other people, but the way he seems to think is centered on his emotions, and only his emotions. He wants to be with Teddy because HE loves her. He can't just be friends with her because HE SPECIFICALLY loves her romantically. To only be friends with her would be too hard for HIM. And like Caitlin mentioned, the "What can I do to change your mind" is weird. I feel like it's weird because it quietly implies that his feelings on the matter shouldn't be the ones to change, it should be Teddy's feelings that change. I'm going to add for anyone reading this that it is valid if you ever had a situation when you had unrequited feelings or broke up with someone and you were unable to maintain a friendship with them afterwards. Relationships are complicated, it doesn't mean you're selfish or bad or anything. It's just Spencer's reaction during the second break up mixed with knowing he has cheated on Teddy in the past is what gives me this impression of him. I guess to try to sum up a very long comment, once upon a time Spencer cheated on Teddy. They eventually got back together. And I feel like if you spoke to him before their second break up and asked if he would ever cheat again, he'd answer "No" and mean it. But if you asked him why he said no, I don't think he'd say, "I wouldn't want to hurt Teddy" or "That would be a horrible thing to do." I think he'd say, "I love Teddy, I wouldn't want to cheat on her." And it's nice that he loves Teddy today... but what about tomorrow, and all the days after? What would he do then?

[@ryleawheeler5984]

I still love Rini so much! I don’t think that will ever change, they were such a comfort ship for me and set my expectations for s1 for what I want. I know most people ship Ricky and Gina now but in no way do I see them being endgame. They are so awkward and their relationship felt really rushed especially in s3. Ricky and Nini made the most sense and had such undeniable chemistry compared to what Ricky and Gina have. I also think that EJ and Gina were way better for each other as they had more in common than Gina ever had with Ricky. If Olivia wouldn’t have left the show I believe that Rini would be endgame. This is just my personal opinion so I hope I didn’t offend anyone or make anyone too upset. I will always miss them together. These two couples feel like right person at the wrong time. ❤

[@RealogOnlyBrodie]

The fact that Boy Meets World was ultimately about the main characters tackling the harder parts and values of the modern day or the 90s (including drinking, death, abuse, love, depression, pregnancy) and then Girl Meets World’s reoccurring plot is about the main girls having a crush and the proceeding to create a love triangle between a random guy from Texas. The only real sense of meeting the world truly is Maya’s arc. Teaching the kids in a classroom about your experiences (Cory) does not mean they’re (the students) going through similar struggles, just petty middle school stuff. It shows which show was more than just school drama and which was only school drama that was trying to be a show that “Meets the World” it’s like if Boy Meets World was of the same quality as the season 5 breakup arc for its entire run.

[@UmbreonsRus]

These breakups are like popping pimples, oddly satisfying

[@sylviemiststream]

I only know like a small portion of the ships that you're speaking about here because I'm 24 and I grew up in the Hannah Montana erra of Disney and stopped watching after Wizards of Waverly Place ended. But I really liked your take on these ships and it was very interesting to me, I might even consider watching some of these shows!

[@linmax300]

I was obsessed with Girl Meets Works when it was on air (I also grew up watching BMW, so I was very excited for the spin-off.) About once a year, I go back to rewatch episodes of GMW for fun, every year I notice, relate to and pick out different details I never saw when I was younger. Watching it for probably the millionth time now, there are definitely lots of cringy and “profound” (forced) moments, so I don’t really like the relationships bc a lot of them feel awkward and/or forced from my POV today. I used to be a hardcore Rucas shipper bc they were sort of similar characters, but recently I really liked Riarkle bc I feel like they can learn a lot from each other and they always have a great time (even as friends.) As everyone has already said, many of the scenes from the show felt forced, but I grew up feeling so attached to the show and its characters, so I can’t help but still feel somewhat attached to it 😭

[@bofthesea4730]

I don’t mean this as a diss on anyone who likes it because I used to love it, but I REALLY hate GMW. I don’t know if it was the actors’ choice or a directing decision but the weirdly stilted line delivery always comes off to me now as like really TRYING to be quirky but not being genuine at all so it just comes off as annoying. Also I originally liked Riley and Lucas and then Maya and Zay, but like for some reason they decided that Maya and Riley were gonna fight over Lucas or whatever and I just really remember FEELING the drop in quality

[@hood7480]

I felt like nini was too good for Ricky in S2. He was so weird with the “you’re changing” thing because of his trauma from his mom leaving. I think they’re better as friends and Ricky needs therapy

[@miahcorbeil1207]

I feel like the big thing with their relationship is that there was no communication. Nini was never telling Ricky anything and so he was right to be confused but he def needed therapy too

[@Beny763]

Ricky needs therapy and time to deal with his multitude of issues. But I wouldn´t say Nini was "too good" for him. She wasn´t handling that relationship well either. She doesn´t know what she wants, and while figuring things out she is held back by her relationship with Ricky. And instead of communicating, like AT ALL, with him. She kept everything to herself, did everything on her own without confiding in her boyfriend. I mean, she wrote a song about how unhappy she was and when he tried to talk about it she brushed it off and acted like he was in the wrong for thinking it is about him, when it clearly was about him. They both just weren´t ready for a relationship at all.

[@nikig2382]

I think nini was awful to him this season ,with what ricky was going through nini was really the only stable person in his life and she thought he was clinging to her and yeah he was but I think it was because he needed her

[@pippin7016]

nini was in no way too good for ricky. he had more unmet needs from his recent trauma. ricky needed someone dependable and stable, which is normally a parent but at that point his home wasnt, and nini was, for years, especially (supposedly) during the leadup to his parents divorce. having her suddenly change sure as hell is going to make him seem "weird" or "clingy" and hell yeah ricky needs therapy

Unpopular opinion: I never really liked Ricky and Nina's relationship in either season. I never felt they were a good couple. I wish Ricky and Gina actually happened, because I feel Ricky was a lot more likable when he spent time with Gina.

[@kitkat4196]

i def cried when ricky and nini broke up… that said i heard in the video and also lots of comments people talking about the “drivers license drama” and i think it’s important that we as a society stop perpetuating these made up online rumors… josh has straight up said that they never were in a relationship and the fact that people even in the mainstream media but online in general keep insisting they were isn’t… great imo. take people at their word, digging into people’s private lives is invasive even if they are famous. they’re costars and anything beyond the friendship they’ve spoken about having is pure speculation…

I'm curious to go back to rewatch GMW. I watched the first (and maybe second) season when it first aired and then I binge-watched the whole thing almost three-and-a-half years ago. But I will admit that second time I watched it, I was not in the shipping mindset as (1) I was sick and (2) my dog had just died, so I ended up using GMW as a comfort show. It actually took watching Caitlin talk about Riarkle (and thus opening my eyes to that ship) some time later for me to get into the GMW ships. I kind of doubt I'll actually be okay with Rucas (since now I am completely Team Riarkle), but I am curious to rewatch GMW. Although, I should probably go through my shows that I'm trying to get through first... and all of my other "I need to get around to watching that" shows... and maybe some other "I should rewatch that" shows.

I was glad Ricky and Nini broke up ( as a fan of the show ). I think it was really great that they were taking some time apart because it was obvious the relationship was hurting them both. Ricky was way too controlling while Nini didn't care enough. That being said, I do think the break up scene was sad but not because of them breaking up lol.

yes, season two nini and ricky needed to break up. but, after the whole build up in season one to the "i love you" scene seemed genuine, and the complete change of their characters in season two felt like it came out of nowhere and ruined them.
