To Be Honest, I Have Some Trouble Watching The Late Projects Of Former Disney Stars. For Example, I Have

To be honest, I have some trouble watching the late projects of former Disney stars. For example, I have a hard time imagining Cameron as the rape victim in "Runt" or Ross Lynch as the killer in "My Friend Dahmer". I hope I'm not the only one, because it really bothers me.

Past and future

"Luke? You're so quiet today."

Jessie had been babysitting the Ross family long enough to be able to tell when one of the kids was seriously upset about something. And the Luke she knew preferred to fool around, but not sit on the floor of his own room alone.

The boy winced at the sound of her voice and smiled. Luke had incredible artistry — which, however, was extremely useful for a future professional dancer — and he could easily seduce anyone with his big brown eyes and freckles, which made him look vaguely like a human incarnation of a Dalmatian. But he always smiled at her in a special way, without a hint of pretense. Zuri joked that she had brought her into the house, and thanks to Luke, the girl stayed on for a permanent position. It was no secret that, despite the great amorousness of the eldest of the sons, his heart was surprisingly given only to Jessie. But what to do with such a gift? She never considered herself too beautiful or capable of gathering crowds of admirers in principle. Perhaps this was explained by internal self-doubt.

"Do you remember the good old days when there was no one to raise you?" Jessie asked, noticing the photo album lying on his lap, and sat down next to him.

"Very funny, Jess," Luke responded discontentedly, as if by chance leaning his head closer to her shoulder. "Ask the younger ones that, and they will definitely decide that you are tired of us."

"Where would I go from you?" the girl grinned. "My conscience would torment me. Zuri won't let me go until she comes of age. I myself am interested to know what wonderful people you will grow up to be.

"You know, I don't want to grow up. You will leave, you will have your own life, in which there is no place for four teenagers..." he muttered, not looking at her.

"Luke..." Jessie said, confused, and pulled him into her arms.

Of course, she loved the entire Ross family. And it wasn't just the supposed opportunities to become an actress or earn some money. Despite the sometimes unbearable behavior of her charges, it was hard for her to imagine how life would have unfolded without the guys. Would she have been able to stay in this city at all? Would there have been a good reason? It seemed as if Luke had heard her thoughts.

"And I thought about what it would be like to live with... my blood mother. She... loved me. All parents love their children. But why did she leave me then? What if I wasn't good enough for her?" Luke looked up. There was no mischievous twinkle in his eyes: only a hidden sadness.

"I'm sure your mother had her own circumstances." Jessie smiled warmly, hoping to cheer him up. "Are you happy in this family?"

"Of course! I can't imagine a better family! I was lucky to be with loving parents," Luke replied with a bit of indignation. "Besides, if I had stayed in my blood family, I would be a completely different person. You and I would never have met..."

"I can't imagine how I would live," the girl said with exaggerated drama. "And how can anyone not love you? You're a wonderful child with many talents. A whole world of possibilities is open to you!"

"And among them, there is not a very specific one?.." He bowed his head with the most charming look he could muster.

"They say that love lasts three years. Then you will find out who is really close to you." The girl gently patted his head.

Jessie frankly didn't believe that these feelings would remain in him at least until adulthood. She remembered herself in those years: interests changed rapidly, not to mention sympathies. But that devotion of the boy, who watched her looking for a new relationship, was amazing. Sometimes it even seemed that his intentions were much more serious.

"I already know. I'm sure that nothing will change." And again that loving look, from which the soul became ashamed.

"What are you chatting about?" Zuri looked into the room with a suspiciously cunning expression on her face.

"I’m so lucky to have you all," Luke chuckled, winking at Jesse.

She won't tell about his little weakness. A real family isn't always the one that is blood relatives.

alright since it's trending I figured I'd share my wish for season 2 as someone who watched the original show growing up and has a lot of nostalgia for these characters:

Luke ridiculously pining for Julie.

That's it.

The original Luke suffered so much for this girl it was almost painful to see. Here are some examples:

When Julie was into The Blonde Boy™️, Luke had already fallen for her but never shared his feelings so she was constantly talking about her crush and he was just 'Yes darling lovely that you two are getting close' and you could see the sadness in his face. It was lovely.

The original Blonde Boy™️ was a jerk, so when Julie asked for Original Luke to spy on him (it was 2007 when the show aired, I remind you) to see what he thought of her, Blonde Boy said some bad things, and OG Luke instead of telling the truth and breaking Julie's heart, just said what he thought of her like If I Could Tell Her in Dear Evan Hansen, you know? I still wonder how that helped anyone or what sense that scene made, but damn it was cute.

And last but not least: If I recall correctly (because I haven't watched that show in nearly a decade) the bad guy once blackmailed OG Luke and literally tortured him so OG Luke could protect Julie or whatever. Later on the series the bad guy also manages to catch Julie for a while so he has to watch her being mentally tortured by this evil ghost cop guy. I remember crying on that scene.

OG Luke would literally die again for her and that's exactly what I'm expecting of the remake. Everything about it so far is perfect and is even better than the original show in some aspects, except for Julie and Luke's relationship. If you think you've seen the best hurt/comfort and pining yet, no you haven't. Not until Julie and Luke finally are able to get together after all the pining and suffering and yearning and hurt/comfort they deserve.

See you again (chapter 2)

And then she woke up, but didn’t see the assembled guests. Surprisingly, there was only her room around.

"What a realistic dream," Jane thought bitterly, looking at the ceiling with detachment.

Carefully putting the blanket aside, the girl slowly stood up, swaying slightly. The feelings from the dream still didn't leave her. For some reason her dress was wet...

Where did she manage to do it?

The phone lying on the nightstand beeped. Today's date appeared on top — her birthday — and a message from Carlos.

A message from Carlos.

It can't be.

Trembling fingers unlocked the messenger.

The contact had the very photo she took during the dance competition. Carlos was all beaming with pride in it, because he managed to take first place.

She couldn't concentrate on reading: the letters were jumping before her eyes.

"Good morning. I hope you had only good dreams. We’re preparing a big joint gift with the guys. Don't be missed without me, I promise to finish as soon as possible."

And two hearts at the end. Black and white. That was always his signature.

Her heart skipped a beat.

No. No, it's impossible.

She had to see for herself.

Clutching the phone in her hand, she glanced at the things in the closet. The mood was more than decisive, so the choice fell on a blue jacket and skirt. Her hair — by the way, also wet — was gathered in a high ponytail. The phone went into the jacket pocket.

The only thing Jane forgot to do was to ask Carlos where they were preparing this very gift. Luckily, Dizzy was passing by, thoughtfully examining the two shades of paint on her hand.

"Hello!" the girl called out to her, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice. "Have you seen Evie?"

"Hi," the girl responded, turning around. "I saw her, but I’m not supposed to tell you where exactly."

"It’s really important to me." Saying this casually turned out to be harder than she thought.

"If you don’t tell on me, we’re even," Dizzy answered without thinking twice and giggled, whispering: "Evie mentioned that Carlos and Jay were going to the sportground."

"Thank you!" Jane, overcome with emotion, hugged her unexpected assistant and went in the direction indicated.

It was hard to believe that everything had really become like before. She had seen with her own eyes how Carlos... No, she definitely didn’t want to remember that. In fairy tales, good people always won. With the help of magic, the power of love or friendship. Jane didn't have full-fledged magic, she had almost no friends — until she became close with the children of villains — but she loved. Loved for the first time, sincerely and with faith in a happy ending. So why did fate take away the most precious thing? Was it a punishment? But for what? What was her fault? Unwillingness to follow the rules that appeared long before her birth? And now... Would a guy really end up on the field alive and well? Or was this an evil irony over her feelings?

The students hurrying past created the impression that another weekday had begun. The closer she got, the more her hands trembled. Even the sun, shining brightly in the sky, didn't calm her down. It was unknown which emotion dominated: a terrible fear of possible disappointment or stunning joy if... But more on that later.

"Your lord... Ben! Don't you have royal business?" Jay's clearly embarrassed voice reached her.

"First of all, I only have a part of the duties," Ben waved it off. "Secondly, I owe it to her. And to you too."

Jane peeked out from behind the stands, not daring to give away her presence. Jay was holding a large sheet of cardboard, while Ben was coloring it beige. She caught her breath, trying to calm her rapidly beating heart. Carlos was nowhere to be seen. How could this be?.. No, this is...

"And it's not nice to peek," A painfully familiar voice sounded right next to her ear.

The girl was afraid to move. Afraid to find out that she imagined it. Disappointment would hit with all its force.

"But I can't blame you: I myself am terribly eager to show it as soon as possible."

Holding her breath as if before jumping into the water, she slowly turned around. He. It was really he. Alive. Real. Not a dream. With an unchanging smile that warmed the soul. Blinking rapidly from the tears that had welled up in her eyes, Jane sniffled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Carlos was taken aback, but gently pulled the girl towards him by the waist.

"What happened?" he asked worriedly, peering into her face. "Did some plans get ruined? Are you unable to finish your business? We can always help, you know that."

"No, I..." She took a deep breath. "I had a bad dream. It was all real, but much worse. And you... I thought..."

She didn't have the courage to finish the sentence.

"See: everything is fine. You wouldn't believe how many times I dreamed about life on the Isle. How afraid I was to wake up and realize that none of this had ever happened. A better life does exist. Here, in Auradon, with you and the guys."

Jane bit her lip, smiled nervously and nodded briefly. The realization of what was happening still had only just dawned on her.

I literally agree, because I love listen this song!!

I’ve been in an Austin & Ally hole these past few days and gosh… The reminder that the first song Austin wrote by himself is FOR AND ABOUT ALLY just gets me. It. Gets. Me. Every. Damn. Time.

Like this man went from not wanting a love song Ally was writing to be about him, to him writing a love song where he basically admitted that he never got over Ally after their breakup and that he’ll do anything to steal her heart.
