I hoped I'd never have to make this post but we all heard the news so I guess I'm gonna have to do it anyways:
Netflix cancelled JATP, like everyone else I am heartbroken. This show has done so much for me in the past year, ever since I watched it for the first time in October 2020 it changed my life.
Much like Julie I got back into music again, I sang again for the first time in a while. The music it gave us, the songs and the lyrics and their messages helped me so much. For that I am so thankful.
Through Alex I got to see anxiety portrayed properly onscreen and felt like I actually saw myself. As well as that I saw him dealing with it which helped a lot.
With Luke I saw resilience and determination that really helped motivate me through some tough times. His constant hype for Julie also helped me hype up myself.
Willie and Alex's relationship was something I hadn't seen before, a queer couple that wasn't played for laughs, that wasn't a stereotype or bad rep. The way that they helped drive the plot is something so powerful and I am so glad that they were my first experience of that.
And Julie and Luke's relationship. Their support for each other, the way they helped each other navigate their grief, the way they lit up when singing with each other. They truly are soulmates and to see them look so in love in screen, there was something so magical there that can't be replicated.
Then of course for the cast, Madison, Jeremy, Owen, Charlie, Savannah, Jadah, Sacha and everyone else. They are all so talented and I cannot thank them enough for bringing the characters they played to life.
Kenny I am eternally grateful for you giving us this show even if only for a single season.
Finally I want to talk about all of the friends I've made, all of the amazing people that I've met thanks to this show. Everyone who's become more than a fandom friend and become someone I talk to in my every day life. That something that they can never take away from us.
@thedragonemperess @angelwiththeblue-box @radio-silences @taylorwilsons @thedeathdeelers @molinashimbos @im-not-fine @redacted-thething @fanfics-she-wrote and so so many more of you.
You've all changed my life, and I will always love you all for that
So up yours @netflix #no unfinished business
