LAKESIDE REFLECTION (AND A DOG CALLED PETAL)

 She’s filling in the music sheet of a composition Mrs Harrison gave them when she hears Petal bark again. Julie checks her alarm clock – ten minutes till seven, right on time. She peeks through the window and the familiar beanie-plaid coat combination is in front of the fence, leaning as he’s petting Petal.

 Julie grabs the bag out of her trash can, tying it quickly, then makes her way downstairs. She thinks about getting rid of her dinosaur slippers, but ends up keeping them. It’ll be less weird if she comes out looking like she hadn’t planned on meeting anyone.

 (Except that’s exactly what she’s doing.)

— in which julie owns a dog named petal whom luke really loves to pet every single day, and the two fall for each other over mutual love for dogs, and music. (alt. 5 + 1 luke comes to julie/julie comes to luke.)

Stop bc Julie and the Phantom's fanbase was like actually huge???

Like I only joined this fandom a month or so ago but like??

Y'all were HUGE.

You guys used to make top 10 at random ass moments for no real reason.

You guy had a whole ass section in BuzzFeed.

This isn't some tiny Tumblr-obsessed gay show this show had fans EVERYWHERE.

Why tf did the show get cancelled?

The petition to bring it back has over 100k signatures and you guys bought (buy?) LITERAL BILLBOARDS

Like holy shit Netflix fucked up big time cancelling this show.

They could've made so much money and they just?? Threw it all away???

[tangledstarlight]

[julieandthequeers]

blind faith didn’t work, time to sob

[thedeathdeelers]

good morning i would like to see only the best jatp takes today

for example:

juke are soulmates

julie molina is fierce and loyal and talented and loving and trusting and sarcastic and soft and precious (ghost-written by luke)

reggie peters is a cinnamon roll who deserves ray and carlos molina in his life i love him so much netflix please

alex mercer sacrificed his one and only chance at love and happiness for his chosen family because he loves so fiercely

luke patterson’s love for music is only surpassed by his love for his chosen family and one Julie Molina

ray molina is the best dad of all time

carlos molina deserves to meet reggie peters

etc etc

JULIE AND THE PHANTOMS premiered one year ago on Netflix

[willexx]

well. it’s been a year. 12 months. 365 days. i literally don’t know what to say because i’m so so upset that we don’t have a renewal yet, but i just want to say thank you to miss madison reyes for bringing julie to us. without her, this show wouldn’t be as great as it is and her character has truly helped me (and i assume a lot of you) find light where there is darkness and, well, stand tall. without this show, i wouldn’t have met so many wonderful people, panic when i hear the word cheesecake, or be an expert clown. if you would have told me a year ago that i would be emotionally attached to a children’s show about ghosts and found family i wouldn’t have believed you, but i wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world. thank you for a year of laughs, tears, love, and memories, julie and the phantoms. whatever happens, i’m gonna stand tall.

A piece entitled "Dahlias" because I like to torture my favorites.

[grovervnderwoodposts]

here’s a “jatp has been out for ONE YEAR now and still hasn’t been renewed for a second season” moodboard, but it’s just memes because your author has been making these since january and is Tired™

[supergraphicultramoderngirl]

with still no fucking renewal

A lot has been made of Alex as gay representation, but I haven’t really seen anyone talk about what he does for stereotypes of anxiety.

Every performance narrative I have ever seen that attempts to depict anxiety, in books, tv, movies, whatever, has the anxious performer anxious about performing. Sometimes it’s depicted as a hurdle to overcome; sometimes the character running to the bathroom to puke is played for laughs. ALWAYS it is stage fright.

I’m a performer, and part of the reason I am is that I learned early on that the stage is the only place where I’m not anxious. Onstage, I am in control. The audience is here for me, they can’t judge or scold or shun me unless I let them, and at the end of the night they go home. If we ever meet again, it’s because they liked my work and want more. It is a level of control over interaction that cannot be replicated in anything more intimate, and so a level of relief that I don’t know how to describe to people who haven’t experienced it.

Alex loves music. He genuinely expresses a desire not only to play, but to perform and become famous from it. He’s never afraid of a show. Do you realise how huge that is? Anxiety that doesn’t follow every non-anxious person’s favourite, easy-to-relate-to narrative? As a kid my anxiety was constantly invalidated because “you’re a dancer, how could a conversation scare you when you go up onstage all the time” - or, alternately, people would infantilise me come showtime because they couldn’t be bothered to listen when I said I was fine.

Alex isn’t afraid to perform. Nobody treats Alex like glass around shows. He jumps into improvisation as easily as his non-anxious bandmates. There is no anxious character who has ever made me feel more seen and understood in this regard than Alex Mercer, and I think that’s worth talking about
