Congratulations to the cast and crew of Julie and the Phantoms on winning a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song with “Unsaid Emily”

I think one of my favorite jatp moments is when Alex comes back from meeting Willie and Luke’s pissy about getting Julie in the band. Alex literally just went ‘,,,,,,,, anyways 🤚’ and I love that for him

no one questions julie's holograms and "it involves algorithms and science and stuff" excuse because she is taking calculus in 10th grade while in a performing arts program

okay i'm thinking about the eyeliner reggie agenda. when he's trying not to cry when ray is talking about moving, reggie does the same blowing and fanning his eyes thing that flynn does later on to protect her eyeliner. this could suggest he is used to wearing eyeliner and trying to protect it from crying. maybe he just wasn't wearing it yet when they died so we never see it

Due to who Carrie used to hang out with and who her father is and who her father's friends were, I do think she knows at least a little about how to play guitar, regardless of whether she uses the knowledge or not in her own music.

Like, she may not use her knowledge of guitar to play during performances, but she uses them for the songwriting process. She just hates the notion that her music, the type she likes, isn't "real music" (because it's a stupid notion tbh like f off), so she very aggressively doubles down on the bubblegum pop sound of her group as a way of being like "i do not have to go into rock music just because my father did i love rock but i also love pop so f off I'm a sparkly pink pop princess and I will not allow you to think less of me because of my music now listen to this bop I wrote that I'm really proud of and like it" and I think she actually might have more in common with Luke and the guys than anyone thinks.

i see you saying lots and lots of casual initmacy and hand holding for willex in s2, and i agree, i've said it myself, but i raise you a new option: they just never stop touching. they reunite and from that moment on alex carries willie around when they can't sit down. can't be separated by an evil gay homophobe if your boyfriend is hanging onto you at all times. check and mate, caleb

No thoughts, just Reggie wearing a cowboy hat in season two and no one ever commenting on it or questioning it

Kenny Ortega: openly talks about how important positive gay representation is for younger audiences, grew up when queerness could only be portrayed in villains, would never make the love interest of one of his gay characters a bad guy

Owen Patrick Joyner: ‘when we kiss’, ‘that’s my boyfriend’, talks about how much he loves willex

Booboo Stewart: wants Alex and Willie to be ‘in a full-blown relationship’ in season 2

Charlie Gillespie, Madison Reyes, and Savannah Lee May: openly ship willex, have all individually called themselves the captain of the willex ship

JatP tiktok: … Willie’s a bad guy and Alex belongs with Luke

chipped nail polish and a barbed wire dress, i think it's the one i've reread the most

Aww this one is so special to me, I'm really glad to hear you like it that much! This was one of my earliest fics so I honestly don't remember if there were any cut scenes or anything that was supposed to be different, but I guess I can give you a little bit of the backstory because it's a really personal piece to me. I wrote it after I had just come home from school for winter break, which was fairly recently after coming out to my family. I consider nail polish to be a really important part of my presentation but I didn't want to give my family any reason to point out anything feminine about me, so I couldn't paint my nails the whole break and I wrote this to vent about that. I was honestly surprised by how great the reception was, because I thought this was just a me issue, but lots of people said they had similar feelings and experiences and it really helped me feel less alone in a time where I was very isolated.

(Send me one fic you associate with my username. In exchange, I'll tell you a secret about that story)
