Luke & Alex + the exes vibes (that end up being healthy as they progress)
[requested by anon] || [like my stuff? buy me a ko-fi]
Y'ALL. OWEN CONFIRMED LUKEALEX. I LOVE THIS MAN.
Alex: i got reggie a “get better soon” card
Luke: that’s surprisingly nice of you
Alex: he isn’t sick. i just thought he should do better :)
I have to be honest.
I be side eyeing people who ship Luke x Alex HARD, cause like I dont understand why you would ship them when Willex and Juke is RIGHT THERE, like ????
And like i just find it really suspicious because I notice alot of people (specifcally white people) do this type of thing where they ditch a love interests such as Julie and Willie in favor of a white love interest, and like idk when I see this ship I like can’t help but be cautious of its shippers because its origin usually due to racism and it’s just nasty.
This doesnt mean there is anything wrong with past Luke x Alex aka Luke and Alex being exes but there are definitely people who ship as a current romance which doesnt sit right with me. (also there are people who demonize Willie as well....)
remember racism isn’t always a conscious decision, and you don’t have to be actively throwing slurs to be racist, and some of these works and takes that I see surrounding ships like Luke x Alex is an example of this.
no heteros allowed!!

I think I love past LukeAlex so much because of just how pure and right it was for them at that time. Like, they were teens in the 90s, a time where being gay--especially openly--was so much less socially acceptable. Alex probably grew up thinking that he’d never get to have a love life like the rest of his peers around him because he couldn’t openly like guys and didn’t even know how he could find another gay guy at school. And maybe he even worried that his friends wouldn’t accept him at all and he’d end up alone
But it ended up being the exact opposite...
His friends loved him unconditionally and accepted him. And then somehow, Alex is even more surprised that he isn’t alone in his feelings because Luke admits he likes guys too--or at least he likes Alex, even if he doesn’t know how to label his sexuality. In a time where Alex probably felt so lost and feared rejection, he had his best friend beside him and got to have that teenage romance he never expected to have. He didn’t have to go through this alone.
Sure, they realize they were better of as friends and maybe they were both heartbroken at some point, but they will always value that time together because they were able to learn about themselves and be vulnerable for the first time with the person they felt most comfortable with and I think that was just what they needed
I have many thoughts about Alex and Carrie so here are all my headcanons about them given that the boys can be seen by all
Carrie is a lesbian and her and Alex have wlw and mlm solidarity vibes
Carrie introduces Alex to rupauls drag race and they do face masks while watching it together
They make choreography to dances all the time and together they own tiktok just doing their dances
They probably also do a skit where they’re both in baby pink robes with their initials in gold thread drinking “mimosas” (orange juice in fancy glasses) and roasting the other hand members, all in good fun ofc
Carrie practices makeup looks on Alex and teaches Alex how to do makeup
They often paint each other’s nails instead of focusing at band rehearsals
Carrie came out to Alex before anyone else
Snarky and sassy comments on the daily from both of them
I’m not sure how this one would work being that their ghosts and Idek how their clothe situation works, but she would get him really cool outfits
She would also feature him in Dirty Candy, letting him sing and dance with her. He’s like an honary member
She catches Alex up on all the modern slang and mannerisms (his favorite phrases are ‘simp’ and obviously ‘woke’ but he LOVES all the gestures, especially 💁🏼♂️ and the Debby Ryan look)
Bonus for Lulex/Jarrie shippers:
They bond over their feelings for their best friends (Luke and Julie) and help each other get (or get back) with them
Carries knows ALL about Alex and Luke’s past and Alex is the first person Carrie confesses her feelings for Julie to
