[@audreytheausllyologist502]

To be honest, Trish deserved better. Apart from Jace, all of Trish’s boyfriends were kind of assholes. Trent had another girlfriend behind her back and lied to her about it and manipulated her to be Austin’s backup dancer. His “apology” was a sorry he got caught and not sorry he did it. Roger was OK, but I can’t actually judge him because I know nothing about his character. Chuck is her husband, and he is inappropriate and creepy with her. He looks at her like a piece of meat and winks at her and probably only wants to get into her pants. I wouldn’t be surprised if Chuck is either cheating on Trish or emotionally/verbally abusive with her. He always gave me rapey/sexual assault vibes with Trish and he gives me vibes of misogynistic assholes who get women drunk/drug them and then take advantage of them and have sex with them when they can’t give consent, which is rape.

A lot of people find this couple boring, while i find that it's such a good example for kids. My generation was taught that romance was dramatic and explosive, big fights, big gestures, and that your loved one should just look at you and know what you need. So to see a kids series show the main couple communicating constantly and openly, being stable, supporting eachother through everything, and just being genuinely nice and kind to eachother, is such a good example.

[@LpsfudgeandMlpTV]

I agree, looking back on old disney shows, having all the main characters gel well together isn't something the network always got right, especially the shows that weren't a family centred show, Like Suite life, Sonny with a chance and Hannah Montanna definitely fall into this catagory at times. The characters can get a bit wishy washy and personalies kind of merg or clash with other characters on the show or their steryotypes really limit their growth and development throughout the show. But Austin, Trish, Ally and Dez were all so different character types that it just worked really well, the show wasn't overcrowded since there were only 4 of them. And their character types didn't limit their character growth and individual storylines, but at the same type they didn't mesh into eachother and begin to feel like a different character and ontop of the chemistry the actors had together, I think that was one of the strongest parts of the Show. Looking back at Hannah Montanna, I never really thought any of her friendships or relationships we're great, as much as I like Lilly and Mileys friendship, it wasn't always written well and Lilly was very inconsistent. The main relationship focus of that show was Miley and her dad, and I think its obvious that that was one of the strongest parts of Hannah Montanna so the other characters tended to get random storylines and inconsistent character growth. Then with Suite life on Deck. I think the character types overlapped too much at times. Like sometimes Zack would be portrayed as a cool bad boy but then other times to relate to woody, he was portrayed as a gross slob. And I think a similar thing happend when Marcus joined the show. And I dont think Bailey was ever wrotten particularly well as she was just a very unsubtle country girl steryotype but then also a genious because she had to date Cody??? And her relationship with london, while still entering, was a shadow of Maddie and londons relationship. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't on that show. And then Sonny with a chance, I never boight into the fact that they were friends and liked eachother, the only character that was really given any growth was Chad, and i guess you could argue Sonny because of their relationship, but the so Random cast especially had almost no chemistry as a group and at times it makes it hard to watch because most of the characters were never given any room to grow out of their steryotypes and at times it felt tired. But like i said, Austin and ally had a really good grouo dynamic and the actors were really good in the roles so even when the storylines weren't the best in later seasons, it was still somewhat enjoyable just to see the characters interact with eachother.

[@morladarling3319]

@angel127_ I really like this take on it. What I forgot to mention but was basically implying that the old-fashioned disney Way is dumbing down characters for the laughs of it, which makes them the most lazy written. But even though they made these characters have an oopsies here and there, they still made ally very mature and well-spoken for a character, especially a female character. They really loved to dumb down the girl characters, and I remember when this came out, I and others weren't as interested in it. But watching it recently, it's so refreshing to see healthy communication between characters for a kids' show. And like you mentioned, the tropes and bonds. We love to see it

"high relationship standards" is a pretty good protection spell. Though it can be hard and make dating take longer in the game and locks some dialogue choices (eg; when Greg asks you if you would pay his half of the lease so he can get back with his ex, you can't say yes, and then when he "professes his love" to you on your doorstep, after she breaks up with him when she finds out he did that to you, and because he tried to cheat on her, you also can't accept his marriage proposal), but it can make it easier to reach the Good Ending you deserve without having to save-scum. "High standards" not meaning "guy in finance, 6'5, blue eyes", just meaning "someone who I actually love and wouldn't prefer anyone else to, not even a celebrity crush."

[@osmanyousif7849]

Yeah, for the life of me, this felt really dragged out. And you'll see this a lot in film and TV that involves romance and couples, where they turn this into a running joke. Yet, it feels insulting forced in. Which is more odd, when you consider that Disney has done this cliche before, but it was done well; a good example being The Rescuers: Down Under. For all it's flaws, one thing it got right was the relationship between Bernard and Bianca. Bernard continuously tries to share his feelings towards her, even attempting to propose, but it continuously backfires, yet he tries again. But he's also shy, over-thinks everything, has low-self esteem, and is afraid of everything but finds the courage to do what needs to be done. There was more to him outside of that one joke, therefore we are rooting for him and Bianca to be together, while rolling our eyes when it doesn't go well. But in Austin & Ally, Austin has none of those traits when he realizes that he wants to be with Ally instead. If anything, I thought they gave Ally Bernard's character traits and this worked well with the whole love triangle between her, Austin, and Kira, with Austin realizing he wants to be with her, instead of Kira. But with the inclusion of characters like Piper and Gavin, as well as making Austin the one who seems awkward to tell Ally how he feels about her, it feels very contrived.

[@michellecrocker2485]

One thing to notice about this pair is how good they were for each other. For example, Because of Ally, Austin matures a little bit and it was thanks to Austin that ally gained the confidence to finally overcome her stage fright. Not a lot of these Disney channel matchups show you people who influence each other for the better.

What I love about this show after rewatching it in my 20s is seeing how MATURE Austin and Ally handled this sort of friends w/ benefits relationship that was not only business wise mutually beneficial, but also took things seriously considering one another's feelings without jeopardize friendships and relations with others in their lives. Mind you, the characters are in HIGH SCHOOL and are what like 16?! Like there's people out here at my age in my 20s that STILL treat you like a tool or accessory. I think it's also cute how Austin cared for Ally, like he was in a situation where he could easily have just used her and then peace out and that's sadly the truth in the music industry. But he stayed with her thru and thru every hardship and when you realize at the end of the series in the finale that the whole show was them telling their kids how they met adds that final bow on this show imo.

But my little brain back then couldn’t have handled a slow burn relationship like I can today, so to 5th grade me that WAS a slow burn.

So there was never any doubt in my mind on whether the writers intended for them to get together or not. I'm always confused when people complain about them getting together and saying that they should've stayed friends because I feel like it was set up from the beginning.

[@cosplayerqueen9878]

See for me, the explain I headcanon as to why they stopped talking for 4 years is because of how they were in season 2/3 post first break up. Like, they weren't able to NOT act like a couple. They weren't able to continue to be JUST friends. And Austin's "I can't lose you again" line always made me think that not being together with Ally tormented him more than we thought/saw.

​​@@cosplayerqueen9878 yea I completely agree with your thought process!!! I think the first time they break up was different because They weren't really expecting to fall for one another. Like Ally didn't realize she liked Austin at all until they were planning his date with kira . And Austin doesn't realize it until Dez makes him discuss things he likes about Ally. So at first its Being in the relationship and fully acting like a couple that was actually hard for them. It isn't until they date other people (again 😂) that they realize their feelings for one another are stronger than any other and that they aren't going away. It was much easier for them to go back to being friends because they never really got a chance to be a full on couple the first time they kiss and become "offical ". By the time they break up when they're in college they had already been in love and been a couple for years at that point. So it's kinda totally different. And also they separated because of their solo careers they barely got to spend time together. It wasn't like they broke up because the two of them didn't want to be together. It was the complete opposite. They broke up because more than anything they wanted to be together but because of their schedules they couldn't really make it work like they wanted to and that was too painful for the both of them. It was too hard for them to go back to being "just" friends after being lovers because it was a constant reminder of what they wanted but couldn't have.

I love to see Austin jealous, is so funny. That’s why the episodes where Elliot and Gavin appear are two of my favs! And I agree, Steal Your Heart is INCREDIBLE

[@leahmuniz530]

Yea I really liked seeing him get jealous too. It was always just so cute seeing him be so caring and sweet towards her. When it came to ally I always felt like he truly was willing to wear his heart on his sleeve for her. generally i feel like they always make the girls fall the hardest or first . And I feel like when they first figure out they liked each other ally definitely was much more aware and receptive of admitting she liked him. while Austin seemed to be the one that was one foot in and one foot out. Like he couldn't decide who he liked more honestly until they sang the duet and kissed. So when it first aired I remembering enjoying getting to watch him be the one to admit he really couldn't move on from liking her. The prom episodes were some of my favorite because of that

[@golubetz1608]

A&A is 100% my show. And here it is important to emphasize that I like everything. This is almost the only show in the whole of Disney where I really like songs, costumes, jokes, side characters and the "filler" episodes (I don't know if you can call them that, but these are the ones where the romantic line or career practically did not develop). I'm serious, the comicon episode, the future, the Halloween episodes are just great. They are cheerfully and interestingly written in the plot plan, and it is clear that the screenwriters know their characters and how interesting it is to discover new facets in their interaction. Well, I think the episode where they make a documentary is the best in the series. The perfect combination of humor, satire of the characters on themselves, satire of the screenwriters over cliches and other genres and genuine sincerity in the characters, the problems that they are trying to solve in this way. I respect writing in A&A.

I definitely think that having their story be more of a slow burn would have been better. I think it could have helped with the whole "maybe we shouldn't be together" line being said at least 20xs in the series. I do, however, feel like this is one of the only ships from Disney that I feel is believable and realistic. Austin and Ally really aren't toxic for each other, and they are both very mature considering the age that they are supposed to be. That's not something that I see super often with Disney ships.

Considering most Disney shows last 3 or 4 seasons they had to kind of speed up the process a bit.

[@putonmyfavoriteshow]

I’ve only gotten through the friends chapter, but I have to say I’m really surprised you had such a different reaction to their early episodes! To me it seemed very obvious that this show always intended Austin and Ally to end up together later on, or at the very least it was always going to be a possibility. Especially with the handshake/hug and the moment at the piano in the pilot. I’m a big Aussly fan, and one of the main reasons is the arc you described in the first season. It’s why I love this kind of friends-to-lovers story. I liked the fact that both of them were genuinely platonic to start out and neither had hidden feelings. All the development in the first season is in relation to their growing friendship, but with small hints along the way of that becoming more later on. I think it’s a great tactic for a slow burn ship. But it’s definitely more remiscent to Disney ships from earlier eras such as Pheely in Phil of the Future or Kim/Ron in Kim Possible. While it would’ve been fine to keep them as friends, I do think their chemistry was the kind you would take advantage of for a love story - also not only are they friends-to-lovers but they’re also opposites attract which to me just adds to the likelihood that endgame was always the intention. They just fit so many rom-com tropes to me even if it wasn’t right out the gate love at first sight. And not those pesky Disney vocal nodules!

They’re the reason I’m so inlove with friends to lovers

[@growingupwithdisney]

I think a reason they wanted Austin to be so nice and selfless toward Ally in season 1 is because his pilot episode self isn’t the most likable. Like he stole Ally’s song then called her selfish for wanting credit, he was sorta the antagonist. Even him saying the thing about his dad not believing in him can be read as a manipulation tactic that Ally naively fell for. But I’m sure they were gonna do that anyway, since he did have moments of being nice to her in the pilot, and it just makes their relationship sweet

[@Mimiscellaneous]

Austin was the greenest green flag ever. I loved him as a kid; and looking back as an adult, he and Ally had a very mature relationship for a couple of teenagers. Always acting with good intentions, admitting mistakes, sincerely apologizing, compromise and sacrifice, selflessness, encouraging, open communication, and mostly just love. They had love for each other and they let it motivate their actions. The story beats weren’t perfect. I agree they rushed them getting together the first time, and the idea of them not talking for 4 years is wild; but I suppose it could happen. But all in all it’s a very healthy relationship. Not the most exciting one, but much better than most of the other relationships that were portrayed on tv around that time. I remember Nickelodeon especially seemed to love toxic couples. 😅

[@noorbohamad5796]

as someone who's experienced a friends to lovers romance this type of trope do escalate very quickly. for reference my bf n I were friends for 6 months before he kissed me for the first time, the next day was our first date. and a week after he asked me to be his gf. usually I like to take things slow but we already had a foundation n knew each other prior to getting together. so I find the progression from them getting together to their first date quite realistic. :)

[@constanza7528]

i think one of the most amazing things about their relationship is that you get to see them in a partnership, and you get to see them learn HOW TO BE in a partnership. and that’s why you know that when they finally get to it, their relationship is gonna last

[@purplewarrior107]

I absolutely adore A&A, i recently rewatched it and it didn't dissapoint, the friendships are so real and cute, i love them. The ship for me is so good, of course it had its moments where the drama was a bit unnecesary but at the end it played out just fine. I love how sometimes their attitudes/actions were cringe or inmature, but it just made sense for their age. I also love how in the first season wasn't any indication of romance, planned or not i think it works perfectly since that's how it works in real life, not every relationship that ends up in romace starts having it, so, that solely pure friendship season really helped me to love them as characters without focusing too much on a ship. The end definetly felt too rushed, as if they had planned a whole bunch more of seasons that didn't got aprooved or something, i think that plot that got squeezed up in 1 episode would've been so hurtful if it had been played in a whole season. Anyways, it's one of, if not, my all time favorite ship of disney, their chemistry feels so natural and organic it's just easy to watch and fall in love with them.

[@splashofsteph]

For me personally, Auslly are so special to me like they're one of my favourite ships ever. Like they're so perfect to me as a friends to lovers and whilst things did feel a bit jarring at times, their moments me so soft and full of love for them. I get butterflies watching them back like they really had such an impact on me and I'll always how Disney ended things so well with them. Can we just firstly mention they cutest height difference and just general size difference ever. Ross' hands are huge so it felt like he was always scooping Laura up in the cutest way like I adore them. Their chemistry was so amazing. Side note: I had the biggest crush on Ross while this was airing and revisiting this is making my crush flare up again bc damn he's so hot. Personally for me the "shh just come here" scene was so cute and one of my faves because I think the reason he says it is because up until that point there had just been so much coming between them and he didn't want a single other to be said, he just wanted the song to speak for itself and for them to just have that moment and dwell in it. Idk, I understand your point but I always felt like he did it out of relief and exasperation like "finally just come here and be with me" idk lol. I do agree that season 1 was a little vague and I remember when the advertisements for Austin & Ally initially came out I actually thought they were like a brother and sister whose parents had been single and then got together just from their initial dynamic. But honestly watching this video and seeing how much Austin especially cared for her from the very beginning actually just showed me that season 1 did have a lot of underlying build up. I just feel like they were both so willing to give up a lot for each other, be there for each other and support each other and yes you could say it was as friends but I think it was their underlying feelings manifesting themselves when even they hadn't realised it yet. All their hugs in season 1 feel so precious to me and like you pointed out Austin is so sweet to Ally and always complimenting her which warmed my heart. I agree that they had a healthy relationship as a ship so I do think that they should have never gotten together that first time and the writers should have made it a "will they won't they" for longer. I think the real Austin and Ally would have communicated after the Butch & Bitey fight like you said to learn from their mistakes but the writers obviously wanted to break them up for drama. I feel like they could've just had the one break up later on had they not gotten together so soon, I also feel Dallas and Ally didn't even get to be a proper thing, and I would've liked to see Ally have a romantic relationship since Austin was kind of flirting with people and talking about girls a bit throughout the series. I do agree with the fourth season being a little messier and not as great but I do think big changes are very common for fourth seasons of Disney shows for example like them changing up all the sets for Hannah Montana Forever. I did think their break up being due to distance was hard to understand and more so because they seemed to be resentful of each other and didn't want to see each other because of that decision they'd made. I would've preferred if they just made the mature decision to break up, stay friends and when they reunited this time have a reunion on the Helen Show where they sang together and then people were like "you know what they should be a duo" and they realise then that's the answer they've been looking for. I would have also loved somewhere in that last episode for them to explicitly reference the show name "Austin and Ally" in a very obvious way but otherwise it was done fairly well. I also think whilst there were definitely a few plot holes for instance Jimmy allowing Austin to date Kira but not Ally or the slow-dancing thing. I do think they managed to give good continuity and were very good at referencing stuff that happened in the past at the right moments. Whether it was their hug or handshake moment. Or even the fact that their hands brushed on the piano the first time they wrote a song together and then Austin having that as one of the moments where he realised that he had feelings for Ally. I loved those callbacks. I will say after watching your video I feel like Austin did kind of do more in this relationship. Like always willing to make the biggest sacrifies and these big grand gestures of love which tbf I love to see because usually its the girl who falls harder. HOWEVER, I wish we saw Ally do more for Austin sometimes and have more episodes revolving around her showing her love to him Overall, I'm rambling but thanks for making this. I always love revisiting this ship.

[@shi2632]

i read the whole thing and i agree on a lot of your points!! but as for the “austin doing more for ally” thing, i believe its probably because ally is literally the one who kickstarted his career and continuously helped him. ally had no reason to become austin’s songwriter in the beginning so i always assumed he was probably just extremely grateful to her and always associated her with helping his dreams come true (which i believe makes him giving up his dream as a performer for her even more poetic). i’d also like to add that i think though austin is very generous, ally is very forgiving and understanding on the other hand. she forgives him for stealing her song, not showing up to the songwriting session in that one episode, or him pressuring her to write a song in that other one… but yes i do agree that austin was much more the sacrificial one but i would be lying if i said i didnt enjoy it as well 😭😭

Props for sitting through all four seasons and making a 2h summary video of it. That's a level of dedication i havent really seen much, especially about a show you aren't even that into. Altho, it is kinda sad and dissapointing to see you miss the point of the show in some of your interpretations. As you are familiar with, A&A is a show intended for younger teens. its 60% more comedy than it is "typical romance", so most lines and scenes need to be interpreted as such, just inteded to make kids laugh. S1 is purely platonic with hints to pottential feelings, because that's how friends to lovers works. the heart of the show isnt austin and ally's romance, its their partnership. whether they ended up together or not in the end, it wouldnt change the fact that they have a unique bond. thats why theres so many ups and downs, its not to tease the fans or even to give fanservice. The affection they hold for eachother grows to become uncomparable to any other of their relationships (friends, family or romantic). thats why they have a hard time figuring out what label to give themselves. The beauty of this ship is how real and sincere they are. They care MORE about their friendship then anything else. The romance they (and most of us) were taught is way too superficial or fragile for the bond they have, and the plot is them realising that this precious bond they share is what love truly is. they never once stopped having feelings for eachother, even while dating other people. the feelings they had for other people never dimmed down the feelings they had for eachother, cuse it just was growing more and more with every friendly casual moments they shared. its a no brainer that they would repress and block off those feelings to the point of being in denial until they hurt other people and annoy us with their sudden explosions of repressed feelings. That what we expect out of a slow burn. It's easy to get distracted by the TONES of filler superficial comedy , but the real heart of the show is the preciousness of sincere frienship and partnership in romance. It's a kids show, but when ur able to take a step back and separate whats ment as a joke and whats is ment to be remebered, you realise how much this story stands out from other kids shows, and could have translated so well as a regular tv-show.

Austin is innocently selfish in the beginning because he is still immature, he quickly figure things out though, a lot of times thanks to Ally’s presence. This is why she makes him a better person. Also the biggest thing I notice when rewatching the show was the amount of hints there where in the songs they played through out the show. Especially when Auslly broke up after season 2. Considering both Ally and Austin wrote the songs together or apart, you can tell by reading the lyrics what they feel about each other. Even the songs Austin sings alone, or for a crowd. Many songs are just a clear love letter of what they felt. I found that the writers did it on purpose, but I haven’t seen anyone notice it. I still love this show after all this years and always will. I cried rewatching it because you can tell the amount of love they put into the show. The cast and everyone involved are all still friends and I found that even more special.

i've always had a soft spot for this show for a multitude of reasons. the natural chemistry between austin and ally and how we actually got to see them form such a genuine connection, which is something we don't normally see on disney shows, it's either very forced on us or pre set up. then there's the friendship that the 4 main characters had with each other, i'm a sucker for a good real friendship and they gave us just that(even des and trish who bickered but still obviously cared for each other). then austin himself is such a sweetheart, i can't help but love him. and finally the music, i still go back and listen to the songs from this show constantly. i will forever be a steal your heart and stuck on you girlie

Si no fue como en las series del sucio dan en donde los personajes parecían más enemigos que mejores amigos

I love that they started as friends and 0 romantics and just fell in love with how they feel around eachother.

one of my favourite ally/austin moments is when dez is filming them and they kiss, with dez in front of them and Trish says "they dont look unhappy with each other anymore" and dez (still infront of them turns and says "they dont do they?" 😘 And its just so cute! From the delivery to the kiss

Fun Fact: S3E17 & S3E22's kisses were unscripted, Ross and Laura just did it.

Wait is this true? I mean Disney has always been stingy with kissing scenes so I'm surprised to hear that

[@laylastokes8873]

It is true because they confirmed it

[@vivivalley]
