i’m laughing at the thought of luke being a lot of parents’ nightmares when he was alive back in the 90s until they found out he was actually too focused on his music and his band to be a menace to their own kids

just a harmless nerd obsessed with his own music and his own world to notice anything or anyone

thinking about luke “arms wide open whenever julie is within a one mile radius because he is always ready for julie hugs” patterson

not to be all emo about luke patterson on main sideblog but like

this kid just wants to keep his friends safe and never wants those he cares about to waste any energy worrying about him??

we see it in the way he tries to cheer up both alex and reggie that first night and starts talking about all the positives to being dead. by taking them to hollywood boulevard and getting lost in the magic of music

we see it in the way alex (and reggie) go to hide behind luke when they walk into the HGC, like it’s a reflex, while luke just has a serious face on, ready to deal with whatever he’s gotta deal with to right bobby’s wrongs

we see it in the way he takes the brunt of julie’s disappointment, the way he takes most of the blame for not being there for julie

we see it in the way he apparently slips away from the gang to quietly mourn the life he left behind, the parents he left behind, without telling anyone where he’s going or what he’s doing

we see it in the way his first instinct once he finds out they’re doomed is not to tell julie. to figure out a solution and not burden her with their fate

we see it so clearly when julie shows up to his parents’ house, tells him she’s worried about him — and yet he still tries to tell her she doesn’t have to worry — shouldn’t worry. even when he knows she was there to witness the scene on his birthday, see with her own eyes the state he was in

we see it so clearly when he has to fight himself to tell her the truth about caleb and their unfinished business — the grimace on his face, the furrowed brow, the sad eyes. he fights himself on it because he doesn’t want to burden her with this, make her worry, make her sad. but for the first time he just...doesn’t have a choice. and that kills him

we see it when he steps forward, closer to julie, after she asks about their jolts, telling her they’re fine with a little smile and a wave of his hand

we see it when he steps forward as soon as he sees caleb, past his bandmates to stand between them and danger

we see it when he forces his body to move past the pain, pull himself up off the floor & drags his aching limbs across the studio towards julie because he can’t, he just can’t, watch julie panic and cry and worry over them as he lies there crumpled on the ground

we see it in the tears in his eyes as he uses his last moments on earth to try and comfort julie, tell her that they have no regrets

i just??

LUKE PATTERSON

[thedeathdeelers]

listen

i know he kinda sometimes does in the show but luke is 100000% the kinda guy who’d match his outfit to whatever guitar he’s playing that day/using for a gig

(and by outfit i obviously mean that week old crumpled sleeveless tee on the ground behind the black couch)

Listen I need for Julie and Luke to get a into a playful argument and for Luke to pretend to be angry but really whenever he tries to be angry he just looks like a 5 year old throwing a tantrum and I want Julie to call him out on it lol. Alex and Reggie agree and have been telling him the same thing for as long as they can remember.

but also we’ve seen luke’s serious face, and it’s less 5 year old throwing a tantrum, and more luke getting ready to take on whatever’s about to be thrown their way and making sure he protects the ones he loves and taking on the brunt of it

BUT YES I AGREE LOOK AT THAT FACE

>:(

julie snickers and kisses his pout away- he stays frozen that way, a little shocked, but then melts and is all grins

angry luke doesn’t happen very often when julie’s in the vicinity

[thedeathdeelers]

What do you think of neurodivergent Luke? I think it would explain his big heart and caring for his friends deeply but his clumsy way of showing it lol

i’ve seen a lot of HCs supporting this, and i definitely see where people are coming from!

but i also see luke as just a 17 year old passionate teenager who’s probably spent more time with his journal and his guitar than he did socialising with people like high schoolers do (because well. he pretty much discovered his purpose in life so early on compared to others)

plus who at that age knows how to eloquently explain away their feelings and are always on point when it comes to dealing with their friends’ problems and uncomfortable emotions??? heck even people older than teens still struggle with that (tbh tho who isn’t on the ND spectrum, realistically)

so ya! i can definitely see it, and maybe he is!! why not

but i also think it’s partly because he’s still a kid yknow? one who’s still learning and adapting (like we see throughout the season, especially with Julie) (also aide note he’s actually pretty decent at letting julie know how he feels about her, without beating around the bush and that’s quite a feat for a teenage boy)

this might’ve been a messy explanation idk but u get me

i hope
