The Angst Is Killing Meeeee!

Top 5 Shows Girl Meets World Fans Who Miss That Show Should Check Out

So many Girl Meets World fans out there miss this amazing show. I do too. However upon trying to fill the void in my heart that Girl Meets Wold left me, I can say without a doubt that I have found five great family television series that have definitely helped me miss GMW a little less. Below are those five TV shows that I definitely feel hard core Girl Meets World fans will enjoy. Please share so many other GMW fans can have the chance to check out these series as well.

5. The Kicks - This ten episode long series focuses on a high school age female soccer player who moves to a new school and has to adjust to living in a new community and has to fit in with a new soccer team. The series is basically a five hour long sports movie but it does feature very relatable and realistic teenage girls. Plus the show is still interesting for all members of the family as well since the main characters’ parents and younger brother get plenty of screen time too experiencing their own interesting side stories and character development. It’s a simple show but it’s not stupid or dumbed down for kids, so it’s a pretty solid watch. *Available on Amazon Prime Video.

4. Sydney to the Max - This recently premiered series focuses on a young single girl named Sydney being raised by her single father as she navigates the simple and somewhat major problems that come from growing up in middle school. However the unique factor of the show is that Sydney’s father: Max gets plenty of focus as well since every episode features flashbacks to when he was a kid in the 90′s, thus showing viewers of all ages how much preteens have and have not changed in the last three decades. While most episodes feature simple sitcom plots, the strength of the show is the strong bond between Sydney and her father Max (and also Sydney’s super fun grandmother). The family of the show genuinely cares for each other and it often results in some very genuine and wonderful heart felt moments. *Available to watch on Disney Now.

3. Just Add Magic - This epic fifty episode long fantasy series focuses on three middle school age girls who come into the possession of a magical book that provides them with recipes to create magical food that can create major spells and curses on those that eat them. While the premise for this show sounds strange, this series is surprisingly one of the most solid children’s shows ever made in TV history. After the pilot episode (which is a little cringe worthy at times), the show begins to evolve into an epic fantasy mystery show. The mysteries are actually very well handled and the show’s mythology is very intriguing and concise. Plus the three girls of the show become three very intelligent young women that become great role models for female viewers watching. It’s a show with plenty of amazing surprises, surprisingly super smart writing, and great characters any one should check out. *Available on Amazon Prime Video.

2. Andi Mack - In this hit Disney series that has gained a huge following, a girl named Andi Mack’s entire world is shattered when she learns the woman she grew up thinking was her older sister was actually her mother who became pregnant with her when she was a teen. From this point onward the show becomes the story of figuring out what a family is as both daughter and young mother have to figure out their new roles as they both slowly mature and learn to become the type of responsible person they’re supposed to be at their current age. On top of that, the show tackles all sorts of realistic issues modern young people face in this day and age such as communicating with those with disabilities, teens having possession of guns, panic attacks, and dealing with peers coming out as gay. It may not be a show for very young viewers (and honestly in later episodes it begins to get a bit soap-operay with maybe too many love triangle sub-plots), but the show definitely addresses some terrific and intelligently complex mature life lessons that Disney has been long overdue at addressing. *Available to watch on Disney Now. 

1. Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street - Despite the strangely long title, this is one of the most solid and best written family shows of all time. The show focuses on a boy named Gortimer along with his two best friends Mel and Ranger (and eventually many more kids) who go about their normal lives in a seemingly normal neighborhood. But every now and then a simple but strange supernatural occurrence happens which eventually leads to the characters learning an important life lesson. What helps this show a lot is that the life lessons are very relevant to all ages and the characters are very down to earth and relatable. The humor is simple and subdued and the general atmosphere of the series has a strange way of making it engaging to both young kids and grandparents. The series’ stories vary from simple ones such as trying to win a school science fair, to much darker and mature stories that deal with the sudden death of a loved one. The series is only 39 episodes long but it winds up being just the right length as the short number of episodes wind up being just long enough to tell every necessary tale with the characters. *Available on Amazon Prime Video.

We all know Crowley doesn’t actually shred the plants, right? Like he takes them into the other room and makes Big Scary Noises, sure, to scare the remaining plants. But you just know that he actually takes the bad plants and sets them Outside, pats them on the head, and says “You rebelled. You are now Fallen. Congratulations” and sometimes he decorates them with old pairs of sunglasses and tiny leather jackets intended for French bulldogs. Like I’m sorry but if you don’t think those plants are 100% a form of projection and coping about his issues with Heaven then you haven’t met Anthony Janthony Crowley

5 HCs AU: When Sita tries to call upon Bhumi Devi to swallow her up, nothing happens.

1. It is–not quite nothing, a rumble from the earth whispering Not yet, my daughter; but it is not the rest that Sita has wanted for so long. 

Around her, courtiers and commoners whisper alike of Maithali’s failure with as much surprise as satisfaction: now, at least, they can silence the lingering guilt at their part in their queen’s exile. Certainly she was to blame all along, and their King’s decision above reproach. 

Sita does not speak again, but turns to leave, head held high.

2. She goes back to her cottage in Valmiki’s hermitage, the only place–other than an abandoned hut in Panchavati–that feels like home. 

Some, Sita knows, might urge her on to giving up her life: but fire had let her pass unscathed, the son of wind spoken in her favor, and earth her mother forsaken her. Why ought she to imagine the waters might be any different?

In the back of her mind, faint but fixed, is the throb of anger; her husband’s wrath might threaten to destroy the world, but Sita’s is a thousand times more destructive. Lanka learned that lesson all too well; Sita closes her eyes and prays for peace. 

3. Kush might be the elder, but Luv the bolder, and Luv the one who asks her at last one night.

“Would you have left us?”

A mother’s instinct almost brings No, of course not to her lips; but Janaka’s daughter does not lie, no more than she hides from hard truths. 

“Yes,” she says. 

“With a father we scarcely know?”

“Your teacher’s stories–”

Luv scowls. “Are just that.” His mouth curls up, just as it did when he was five years old and refusing to eat his dinner. “You would have left us.”

Sita sighs, and holds out her arms to him. “And I never will again.”

4. “You might have been princes,” she reminds Kush, who should have been heir to Ayodhya. “You might have taken your rightful places.”

He only snorts. “And rule the same louts who scorned our mother? Never.”

She does not dare admit that she is proud of him, but her smile betrays her nonetheless.

5. Sita is tending to her garden when she hears footsteps approaching, coaxing weeds to take life elsewhere; she looks up to find her husband peering down at her, clearly awkward and somehow not yet out of place. His clothes are stark; his head is bare, devoid of the crown. She wonders if Bharata was convinced to take it at last, or if Lakshmana obliged instead.

(She knows too, enough of the ways of ruling to know that a king does not simply wake one morning and renounce his throne. He must have been planning this, moving the pieces into the motion, since the day she and the boys had departed Ayodhya forever.)

“Forgive me,” he says, and Sita, who had half-feared she would never be able to do so, feels her rage ebb at last. 

Beneath her bare feet, the earth hums her contentment.

Symbols of Lord Shiva & Their Meanings

Lord Shiva, one of the most complex gods of India, embodies seemingly contradictory qualities – He is the destroyer and the restorer; the great ascetic as well as the symbol of sensuality; the benevolent herdsman of souls and also the wrathful avenger.

Matted Hair: The matted hair represents Lord Shiva’s connection with the wind and Brahma’s “breathe of life”.

Unclad Body and Ash: The unclad body symbolizes the transcendental aspect of Lord Shiva. The ash smeared on Lord Shiva’s body signifies that He transcends physical phenomena and is not affected by it.

Third Eye: Lord Shiva is also known as Tryambaka Deva, which literally means ‘three-eyed Lord,’ and is often depicted as having three eyes. His right and left eyes are the sun and moon respectively, while His third eye is the eye of wisdom.

Ganga: The river Ganges, is the most sacred river in India and represents the causal waters from which the earth arises. By holding the Ganges in his matted hair, Lord Shiva allowed the holy river to traverse the earth and bring its purifying water to humans.

Crescent Moon: Often depicted on Lord Shiva’s head is a crescent moon, representing the cyclical nature of the universe.

Snake: Lord Shiva is often shown with a snake curled three times around His neck. The three coils of the snake represent the cycle of time – the past, present and future. The snake around Lord Shiva’s neck symbolizes his transcendence over the cycles of creation and time.

Trident: The three-pronged trident known as the Trishul shown with Lord Shiva symbolizes His three fundamental powers, or shakti, of iccha, kriya, and jnana (will, action and knowledge). The trident also represents Lord Shiva’s power to destroy evil and ignorance.

Tiger Skin: Lord Shiva is shown sitting on a tiger or wearing a tiger skin. The tiger is the vehicle of Shakti, the Goddess of power and force. The tiger skin that Lord Shiva wears symbolizes His victory over every force.

it’s a super short scene in the show but it says so much. crowley never does anything that really harms anyone (see: paintballs & pennies & phone lines), little of it is cruel in the ways that humans can be cruel — which makes it even more meaningful that he chooses humanity in the end. sure, he needs to drink for days to deal with it, but when he’s sober again, he stays
