![]() ![]() However, upon Riley's arrival, everyone completely ignores Smackle, and instantly gravitate towards the other girl. Thus, despite Smackle's subsequent contradiction, Farkle was correct in naming Riley as the first female guest, as technically Isadora was acting as the hostess. In order to maintain the element of surprise on Riley, Farkle arranges for the party to be held in Isadora Smackle's home, accepting her required condition of wearing a shirt featuring the figure of Albert Einstein, the namesake of her school, for the duration of the event. It should be noted however, she is very good at communicating her points in debates in spite of her condition. This can make her seem emotionless and uncaring while inside, she just wants to understand the world around her. Later, it was revealed that Isadora was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at age 5, an autism spectrum disorder that causes significant difficulties in social interaction and repetitive behaviors and interests however, it does not affect language or intelligence. According to Riley, Smackle nearly always bests Farkle in their scholastic struggles. Academically, Smackle and Farkle consider themselves each other's arch nemesis. She feigned insecurity over her looks, when she asked Maya and Riley for a makeover, but ultimately decided to keep her new appearance. Here’s to the Corey and Topanga we never got to really explore.Isadora is a confident and intelligent overachieving type, with nerdy tendencies, who loves Farkle. Throughout the course of the show, Riley and Farkle it was this bond that made so many fans root for them to be endgame, and, if the show had continued, I wonder if that might have just happened. Whether it’s bullying, being told they don’t fit the typical mold, or issues in their friend group, they know they don’t even have to question if the other will be in their corner. When there was a chance he could be autistic, Riley was the first to tell him it didn’t matter to her at all. She constantly helps him reconcile his scientific brain with his big emotional heart. Riley never let Farkle feel like he to change who he was to be cool. He roots for her when tries out for cheerleading and reminded her that, in his planetarium bedroom, her favorite space object Pluto would always be a planet. ![]() Farkle was the first to recognize when Riley was being bullied and that she still had feelings for Lucas. In many ways, Riley and Farkle know each other better than they know themselves. Best friends from childhood, they have continued to grow together as they have grown up. ![]() From little looks in the classroom to the quiet hugs and little touches, they have a deeply intense bond separate from the rest of the group. However, their relationship runs much deeper than just similar personalities. When their friends lose hope, Riley and Farkle hope enough for everyone. Sure, some may call them naive, but they hold true to their optimistic outlooks, finding silver linings in the darkest of storm clouds. Every lesson life throws at them is just another chance for them to become wiser. Unlike, their friends Maya and Lucas, they haven’t been jaded by past mistakes. They refuse to let life get them down and continually exude a positive energy that lifts up everyone around them. A little left of center, Riley and Farkle are both a little wacky, a little odd, and a little bit out there. Out of their entire friend group, no two people are more similar that Riley and Farkle. Rather, I would argue that her prince is really the boy most girls would label the frog: geeky genius Farkle Minkus.įrom day one, it’s clear that these two just get each other. However, I don’t think Lucas is the Topanga to Riley’s Cory. When it comes to Girl Meets World, there are a lot of people who think Riley Matthews’ OTP is Texas transplant Lucas Friar, comparing the two to the iconic romance between Riley’s parents Cory and Topanga of Boy Meets World.
