well at least now i can say with absolute certainty that netflix hates two things, and that’s ghosts and gay people

only way to capture the whole of julie at the phantoms while not playing music is to throw a couple of sheets over the boys.

Thinking about Alex and "your parents were never cool again after you told them you were gay" and "i was actually pretty trustworthy" because so many people depict Alex's parents as evil incarnate (and don't get me wrong, I have nothing against that, specially knowing a lot of people project that backstory into him as a coping mechanism) but i don't see so much what I think is way closer to what canon implies.

His parents WERE cool, they were nice and chill and trusted Alex and he trusted them back because he never had a reason not to, so he chose to tell them he was gay. He chose wrong. He stopped having "the cool parents" of the group.

I really like this interpretation because of the betrayal, it has potential for guilt (like thinking he should have know better even though there's no way he would've known they were homophobic) and mainly because it shows people don't have to be a cartoon villain to be a bad person (just like Caleb is a cartoon villain who is VERY ok with gay people... as long as he owns their soul).

Also I think them being "the cool parents" of the group would mark a before and after not only for Alex but the whole band, going from spending most of their free time when they weren't in the studio on Alex's house to not doing that because now his parents act weird around them, around him. I like thinking about the different eras of Sunset Curve and if Alex coming out to his parents vaguely lines up with Luke running away... i can taste the depression levels on the studio.
