I’m going to a concert tonight so idk when I’ll be able to check in, but Christine, give me some headcanons from your gmw/htgawm crossover. Pleaseeeeee?

I hope you’re enjoying your concert! Ok so I’ve been trying to come up with some headcanons that are non-spoilery just in case I actually get my shit together and write all of these scenes, but I couldn’t come up with anything. 

Instead I’m going to give some more background on the characters and what their htgawm counterpart(s) is/are. I hope that’s okay!!

I went overboard so it’s under the cut. These also started to get more and more vague the longer I worked at them so…¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Topanga is the Annalise (obvs) but with a lot less baggage. She and Cory were childhood sweethearts who got married and pregnant in college but she followed through with her dreams to become a defense attorney and left most of the child rearing to Cory. Once Auggie was born they moved back to their college town and Topanga took a job as a professor. These days she has a better relationship with her kids but both of them are still closer to Cory.

Cory is nothing like Sam, thank god! but he does have some dark secrets he’s hiding from his family. When Riley moves back home she believes that he is on an extended trip to visit her Uncle Eric and Uncle Jack but she soon learns that there is more to the story than that. 

Riley is the most like Wes. She’s coming home and entering her old world but seeing it with fresh eyes. Being the professor’s daughter, she has something to prove to her classmates and is prepared to work twice as hard to do so. Her studies soon take a backseat when the investigation into Ava Morgenstern’s death takes a devastating turn. She decides to take matters into her own hands; anything to help her little brother. 

Maya is Bonnie but, again, without all the baggage. She’s been Topanga’s right hand woman for over six years and is practically a member of the Matthews family at this point. She has a rough past with both of her parents and Topanga has taken on an almost maternal role in her life which causes some issues in their working relationship. She sometimes wonders what would have happened if she’d gone to art school, but she is generally happy with the direction her life took.

Charlie is a mix between Frank and another character that I can’t reveal because it would maybe be a spoiler. He was one of Topanga’s students before suddenly dropping out during his second year. She offered him a job and he’s been working for her ever since. He and Riley have a complicated past and when she moves home he proves that he doesn’t really know how to take a hint.

Lucas is mostly Connor with a little Michaela thrown in there because why not?! He has more than a few demons in his past and he’ll do just about anything to overcome them and make something of himself. And when he says anything he means anything. He sometimes causes more problems than he solves in the beginning, but when Riley gets in over her head he soon becomes her closest ally.

Farkle is both Asher and Laurel. Wound tightly by the expectations of his family, he comes off as cold, self centered, and the absolute worst team player. He quickly loses control though as things in his love life start to heat up.

Izzy is Oliver through and through. Absolutely lovable and too pure for this messed up group. A tech prodigy running her own start up, she has her life completely together until Farkle Minkus walks back into her life. It slowly becomes one of the best and worst decisions she’s ever made when she agrees to help him as she makes unbreakable connections when she’s thrown into their crazy world.

Zay is pretty much all Rebecca. Trouble follows as soon as he comes to town. He and Lucas were the best of friends growing up, but now Lucas wants nothing to do with him until one tragic night when their paths are forced back together. He falls hard and fast for one of our favorites and it’s this unlikely relationship that keeps him in town when things start getting scary.

Connor/Oliver things 1-9:

1) Okay so Connor has basically been wanting to go to the cops about what happened to Sam from the beginning. He had panic attacks and nightmares and god knows what else because of what they did. So it’s normal that he wants to protect Oliver from that. Keep him away from Annalise Keating and the house. The job. Everything that ruined his life.  

2) Telling his client, the woman who was abused by her husband and killed him, that he got away with murder for ‘less legit reasons than her’ was.. well, obviously risky. But it worked. It got her to talk and eventually, out of prison. Anyhow, my point is that he basically told a stranger this instead of Oliver. Not because he doesn’t want to tell Oliver, but bc he wants to protect & keep him safe. And, I think, deep down he knows Oliver wouldn’t forgive him for this. Meaning he’d lose the ONE GOOD THING in his life (altho I 100% believe that, if Oliver pressured him about ‘lying to him’ or ‘keeping something from him’ that he would’ve told him, maybe not right away but he would’ve. especially at this point, especially after telling this client).

3) That brings me to the following, Connor needs a stable life after what happened. So he basically changes completely. He doesn’t screw around anymore as much, he doesn’t sleep with anyone he comes across. He tries everything in his power to make up his for bad decision of sleeping w that one guy that got Connor to kick him out. And they got back together, and he’s been the PERFECT boyfriend ever since. He’s been attentive, reasonable, telling Oliver pretty much everything about himself (except that one dark thing they did, which isn’t even really Connor bc it was Wes killing Sam to save Rebecca bUT details - ‘cause yeah they covered it up). So even when he finds out that he got ACCEPTED to Standford ( which was his ticket out of this mess and meant a lot to him !! ), which he didn’t even think he would bc his number was lower than Michaela’s but ? HE GOT IN. But even after Oliver kept the letter from him, basically told Standford he was Connor and that he changed his mind ??? even bc of that, Connor didn’t get angry with Oliver. He was actually really understanding ( and maybe bc he’s keeping that one dark secret and he doesn’t /get/ to judge and doesn’t want smth like this to get between them but STILL ). He even APOLOGIZED to Oliver for not listening, bc that was the only reason he thought Oliver would do this behind his back bc ‘he didn’t listen enough bc he wanted to leave so badly’. 

4) The thing that happens next annoys me. Oliver breaks up with Connor. In my opinion, in this fucking moment, Oliver doesn’t get to be upset and he sure as hell doesn’t get to break up with Connor!! So Oliver is even saying he gets to be upset with him (thank you) and ?? but then he like breaks up bc ‘’he needs time for himself’’ suddenly ? it makes no sense whatsoever, especially bc he made it his goal to get a job with AK and FINALLY got it. So?? making things awkward at work bc of that as well. While Connor never even wanted him there in the first place, to keep him safe from everything. 

5) Okay so Connor goes back to sleeping around bc he needs to deal with losing the one good thing in his life, the one thing that kept his life stable. The one thing he always looked forwards to. Someone to come home to after all the crap he deals with daily, because of what happened to Sam and everything that’s happened since. He ofc tries to make Oliver jealous. Anyhow, then Oliver & Connor have that conversation about that Oliver can have sex too and he brings up being HIV-positive and guys not wanting that so that he basically can’t have sex with random guys like Connor. But I was like: basically you’re saying you can’t but YOU WANT TO. And that confused me bc? he claimed that he ‘wanted time alone to figure out who he is and what he wants’ and all that? but this basically says the opposite, he wants to date but just not with Connor anymore? And like, then the fucking episode happens where they’re at that casino as ‘’friends’’ and the fucking racist flirts w Connor and Connor like confronts the guy about that and Oliver assumes he scared him away??? and Connor just takes it, bc that’s how much he loves Oliver. Esp the ‘act like an adult’ comment like ?? GOD that frustrates me sm!! 

6) Oliver starts dating Thomas and everything is peachy until he tells the guy he’s HIV-positive and he’s not ready for it. Which, y’know, makes sense. It’s not nothing. But yeah it sucks for Oliver. Anyhow, Oliver gets drunk and GOES TO CONNOR. Who even asks what happened with Thomas (even though that’d obvs hurt him bc he still loves Oliver). Then Oliver (selfishly, which he even admits is selfish) tells Connor he missed him. See, I have a problem with that bc this is just like ? he was ready to move on 0.2 seconds ago but bc that didn’t work out you’re going to the /one/ guy you know loves you && will have sex with you and ??????????????? just rude. But anyway, so they have sex bc Connor still loves him. It goes on a couple of days. Thomas even apologizes and wants a second change but Oliver doesn’t want that anymore bc apparently he’s fixing things with Connor. 

7) But then Oliver and Connor get into that argument where Oliver says smth about ‘the reasons why they broke up’, basically insinuating it wasn’t to figure himself out (HE FUCKING LIED?) but that it was bc of the lies. Bc of the things he knows Connor is keeping from him. So, instead of confronting Connor about what he’s keeping from him he just broke up with him. And then he’s like calling Connor DAMAGED. And that cuts deep bc, yeah he is damaged bc of everything that happened but the ONLY time where he’s actually himself and doesn’t feel so damaged is with Oliver so hearing him say that, knowing he sees him as damaged? that hurts him deep. So he leaves && goes to Michaela, breaks down on her couch and says ‘I hate him, I hate him so much’.

8) Later on, after Wes’ dead. I love how Oliver finally confronted Connor with his suspicions and Connor told him the truth. And !!! HE BELIEVED CONNOR RIGHT AWAY. Even when the others didn’t. Thankfully Michaela did too, she’s basically his bestie. But Asher (he was being a jerk), Laurel (ok, she’s the preggy gf so that makes sense), Bonnie (god I can’t believe she still hasn’t been arrested) were giving him a hard time. I was really happy with the Connor/AK talk tbh, it was long over due!! Anyhow, Oliver believing Connor just <333

9) Oliver being hella worried when Connor was kidnapped by the police. And, when he came back, asking Connor to marry him. See, I have a problem with that because?? Oliver has been traumatized by the news of what happened to Frank and what he knows /suspects/ Connor, Michaela, Wes and Laurel did. He didn’t want any details (smart) but he practically knows. And he was having a hard time bc of that, you know, dealing with all of that. Even if he wasn’t traumatized, this is like ? really quick bc technically they’re still broken up. A decision HE made and Connor had to deal with. That like really messed with Connor’s head and fucked him up pretty bad that he even said ‘’I hate him. I hate him so much.’’ ???? so to just brush over that break up and?? ask that question was really selfish. And I know Oliver loves Connor and was hella worried and maybe that made him realize he wants no one else. That it’s always been Connor and with everything that’s happened, he needs him now too. But marriage tho? idk. Like everything they both go through, especially after Wes, is a lot and they get to be upset and do irrational things. Buttttttttt yeah. I’m so glad with how Connor dealt with this. sO PROUD OF HIM.
