spacetime; summon

my gmw hc's (political, college, sexuality, gender)

political

maya: she is a communist. she liked the idea when she was young and decided to search on her own bc her teacher is... well... cory. she goes to riots, movements and all that

riley: she is a leftist. also liked the idea when they were younger but they're far from rad, pretty much what you U.S. citizen's would call "a liberal"

zay and lucas: they're democrats, they don't care a lot about politics but they hate trump and republicans in general. also they only pay attention to USA

farkle: he is a eco-socialist. (i may have said it wrong bc english is not my 1st language, i hope you understand) you CANNOT tell me this boy didn't turn out to be all save the turtles and shit after they got older and studied about politics. yeah he was all capitalism and shit but he was also 13 years old, people change and they're *very* smart

smackle: social democrat. don't pay as much attention to politics as maya and farkle but they know stuff, they know a lot of stuff, and nobody changes their opinion

josh: socialist. this boy is 100% socialist you cannot tell me otherwise like cmon, i can't elaborate but i doubt you disagree with me on this

college

maya: she goes to art school and she is a straight A student, she loves history of art and does all the homework

josh: psychology. he always liked to analyse people and understand how the human brain works, he loved college once he befriended his roommate

smackle: computer science in Princeton i dont think i need to give much thought to this

farkle: molecular biology in Princeton again i dont think i need to give much thought to this

(now it gets tricky bc i dont know if other countries have these someone pls tell me)

riley: pedagogy. she loves children and like their father they love teaching so it was perfect for her. also she can always congratulate a kid if they paint a cat purple

lucas: food engineering or some sport. idk if you guys have food engineering but if he was brazilian i could picture him studying it.

zay: agronomy. yes it is bc he is from texas and i judge him bc my state is like texas but better

sexuality/gender

smackle: pan or bi! they're agender and uses they/them pronouns (that's why i referred to them like that earlier in the post lol)

farkle: unlabelled sexuality. he IS enby and nobody can change my mind (i used to hc him as transboy a time ago) and uses he/they pronouns

riley: pan 100% uses she/they but not sure about their gender

maya: bi and cisgender

zay: unlabelled and cisgender

lucas: cishet

josh: identify as straight but make out with guys at parties when he's drunk (tipsy ?) and is cisgender

i will not add auggie and ava bc they were too young for me to form an opinion

Reactions

Maya: “I am so proud of this one.”

Lucas: “I knew that hehe.”

Farkle: “How did I not know that?!”

Zay: “Wait, that is not what the internet says.”

Riley: "It’s true?! I’ve only ever heard the legends!”

1. He could’ve given a ton of money to anyone, but he gave it to Maya because he believed in her.

Farkle gave her the means to fix a leaky roof, but he knew she’d do something meaningful with the rest of the money, and he was right. He called her “a force to be reckoned with,” and that Mark Cuban should invest in her right then and there. We should all be so lucky to have a friend like Farkle.

And speaking of money...

2. Farkle cares more about spending time with his friends and family than he does about material goods.

It seems like Farkle could own anything in the world, but as he said to his dad, “What good is what we have if what we have keeps us apart?”. Not only does this speak to his maturity, it speaks to his heart and the kind of person he is.

3. He literally saved Riley!

Baby Farkle saved Baby Riley’s life - twice! - before they were even friends. Riley might not have seen it then, but he has always been her knight in shining armour.

4. His kindness towards Smackle.

Farkle knew before the others that she is on the autism spectrum, and he never once saw her any differently. He helped her sort through some things she had trouble understanding on her own, and was always respectful and understanding of her boundaries. Farkle saw through her smokescreen of hitting on Lucas as a cover up for her insecurities, and made her feel loved when they finally talked about it. Farkle also always respected Smackle as an intellectual and even admitted she might be smarter than him. Overall, his love and respect towards Smackle is, IMHO, one of the best things about the show.

5. He is hip to Riley’s feelings and can get through to her in a way no one else can, not even Maya.

Farkle wasn’t surprised by Rileys’s Morotia M. Black makeover and, in his own words, “kind of expected” it. He was the first one to figure out she was being bullied in RileyTown. He was able to get through to her in Permanent Record and got her to step up her game in Spanish class. These two share a special connection, and fundamentally understand each other in a way unlike any other friendship on the show.
