Gamer's Guide To Pretty Much Everything - Tumblr Posts
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.
I really love "Steal Your Heart".
More precisely, it’s not just the song that makes me happy, but also its context. Austin needs a song, but Ally is busy with her career. Everyone knew he couldn’t do it at all. Ally suggested thinking about what he liked. The song was written, success was guaranteed, but Trish was interested in who the song was dedicated to. Dez remembered seeing Austin with several girls. Their old rival accused him of allegedly stealing the song. The case went to court, where Trish, having watched a marathon of a series about jurisprudence, acted as Austin’s lawyer. She asked a friend to perform the song right there, without explaining the reason. The first time I watched it, I didn’t understand what she needed at all.
A moment of irony: Austin sings about the image of a bad boy, although he himself has never been one.
It turned out that during the performance of the song, he didn't look at Ally at all, because he was shy. Later, I remembered that he always glanced at the trio, but not now. And Austin admitted that, yes, he wrote a song about what was bothering him, because he still had feelings for Ally. I know that feeling, but their situation is better.
This never means that Austin is a bad guy (and it couldn't be, because Ross... it's written on his face that he's a golden retriever, and these aren't even my words). It's about how Austin is attached to Ally and just can't imagine his life without her. Ally responds in kind. In the series, it can be seen that Austin wants to do everything for the comfort of his friend. They had a big fight before the finale of the second season, but there were serious reasons for that: Ally didn’t believe in their partnership at all at the very beginning, Austin tried to find another composer when Ally's career took off. I really like that Austin, Dez, Ally and Trish here strive to maintain friendship by constantly helping each other. What am I talking about? Thanks to Trish and Dez, an absolutely cinematic kiss happened. The finale of the second season broke my heart... But more on that another time.
Of course, you can say that the problem is with the "Disney image", and this was justified in the case of Ross, who played a serial killer. I have no desire to watch this film, although I have no doubt about his acting abilities. He can turn into drama, romance, and comedy. I haven't watched the backstage from the set of "Austin and Ally" yet, but from what I've heard, he's the nicest person. Between filming, having time to give concerts with your band is strong in itself. They even performed some of the songs from the series. The actors are shippered no less than the characters.
Sometimes I think Cameron would like to completely destroy the "fabulous" image... Yes, he still has a few relatively "dark" roles (and one of them was before Disney), but from all the same interviews, I can't say that his Disney roles were very different from himself.
I hate "The Gamer's Guide" season 2 finale
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a complete disappointment. There was potential. For example, in season 3, Wendell could have gone through an arc and become calmer. Franklin gained self-confidence. Then there are two paths. If the writers really want, Ash will actually leave to rethink everything. Conor will realize his mistake and will give in to weakness in the decisive match between the teams, failing to fight against Ash.
The second path: they become a couple and explore other facets of the relationship. Awkwardly, shyly, but they explore. I feel an analogy with "Phil of the Future", because there the characters also realized their feelings in the last episode, but it seemed OVER. It hurts that Phil flew into the future, but the show made it clear that Keely will have a husband.
Some of my favourite kisses in Disney
Conor and Ashley (Gamer's Guide), Ben and Mal (Descendants 2)
I love the first one because Conor and Ash are so awkward around each other. The end of season 2 doesn't exist for me because I want to believe that everything will work out for them. Ben and Mal are a classic where the guy sees the good in the girl before anyone else. The way Mal didn't believe she was worthy of love breaks my heart.
Zed and Addison (Zombies 3)
Just good guys in an established relationship. The goodbye kiss is insanely sad.
Phil and Keely (Phil of the Future)
MY ROMAN EMPIRE... Seriously though, a couple with amazing chemistry and a great friendship. I think a lot about the fact that their actors also dated. And their kiss is one of the most beautiful in Disney.
Kristoff and Anna (Frozen)
The guy who asked permission to kiss. We can stop there.
Wade and Amber (Elemental)
An impossible couple, but so cute.
