Stand Tall Ramble
Ok so Stand Tall gives me BIG emotions.
( the colors are significant in some places, ( but you could understand the post without them. I think it’s obvious where they’re significant, but most of the time the purple is just to show that it’s lyrics. Every so often purple just means Julie specifically, blue for Luke, pink for Alex and red for Reggie, but if you’re not sure assume purple means lyrics)
The first thing that always gets me is Julie going on alone, still teary, voice a little shaky for a measure or two but she still goes out and pours her whole heart onto that stage.
Don’t blink. No, I don’t wanna miss it
Everything has just happened so fast. She lost her mom, she lost her passion for music for a while and then all of a sudden there’s three new important and confusing people in her life. Her friendships have changed, her crushes have changed, her whole world has flipped on its head. Suddenly her music is back too.
One thing and it’s back to the beginning.
Just as quickly as she gets the boys she’s thinks she’s lost them
Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep going on never look back
And it’s one, two, three, four times
She wrote this song with the boys. This line is showing how important each member of the band is to everyone else. I would have looked to each of the boys as I counted if I were singing this song and it had gone as planned.
That I’ll try for one more night
Light a fire in my eyes
This is a decision to keep going, keep fighting. With or without the boys. FOR the boys.
I’m goin’ out of my mind.
Too much has happened at once
Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing
Ima stand tall
Ima stand tall
There’s a switch in her voice here, a sudden power. She is the last standing now, but she’s not going to let anything stop her. She knows the boys wouldn’t have let her and neither would her mom.
Whatever happens even when everything’s down
Ima stand tall
Ima stand tall
I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling
As someone who has sang and played music my entire life I can tell you that there is an emotion and a physical feeling that I can not possibly describe to you that comes with preforming.
Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing
Ima stand tall
Ima stand tall
There the feeling really hits her when she gets the reaction. She realizes that maybe she can do this.
And then Alex appears…
There’s a look in Alex’s eyes of, “ we would not have left you again.” A little smile of “ I’ve got you, just keep going”
Julie’s eyes LIGHT UP with pure unbridled hope. The tears come back in an instant because she could have done it alone, but she doesn’t have to.
And then Reggie appears too, she doesn’t have time to really react but she actually giggles a little, and the tears get bigger. Reg gives her this little smirk and he nods like, “ you’ve got it, we’ve got you. Just sing”
Right now I’m loving every minute
This song was written before but this line has a whole different feeling now than it was intended to. Originally this was, I’ve found my people, I’m back, they’re back and we’re going to take over the world. Now it’s a big feeling of, WE CAN DO THIS.
Hands down
Can’t let myself forget it, no
There a subtle defiance in that no
Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep holding on never look back
And it’s one, two, three
Julie looks to Alex and Reggie here as Luke flickers and there’s fear in everyone’s eyes but still blinding hope in Julie’s
Four times
And we linger on Luke flickering
That I’ll try for one more night
Julie is not giving up on him.
Light a fire in my eyes
I’m goin out of my mind
Luke makes it here and it’s perfect and the look in everyone’s eyes is enough to send me into a fresh wave of tears
Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Whatever happens
Even when everything's down
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
I gotta keep on dreaming
'Cause I gotta catch that feeling
Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing
Ima stand tall
Ima stand tall
But now it’s back to it’s original meaning
There’s not a last standing this time
Like I’m glowing in the dark
And they all really are
I keep on going when it’s all falling apart
Yeah I know it with all my heart
Self explanatory
The oos make me giggle so much, it’s adorable and Reggie and Julie’s friendship could be a whole other giant post. Plus musically it gets me all jittery because it’s just so good.
Never look back
Alex’s chorus means a lot to me because he just stand up and does it without a second thought and I love the idea that this is him finally listening to Reggie the beginning “ can you just own your awesomeness for once?”
Reg takes his moment and there’s something about his power note there with the stand tall building with everyone there that really gets me worked up
Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Whatever happens
Even when everything's down
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
I gotta keep on dreaming
'Cause I gotta catch that feeling
And the final chorus with just everyone’s voices means a lot because they don’t need their instruments to be the band. They’re just themselves in that moment and its so powerful
Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Everyone’s faces as they’re taking in what they’ve just done is so wonderful and the way they all look at each other is so sweet
Alex grabbing Luke’s hand HURTS
Because there are so many ways it could be: 1. They’re celebrating, this is a Luke we did it
2. The way Luke doesn’t hesitate to take it tells me he may have done this before and this is simply Alex showing his excitement ( I could give a whole rant about these two too)
3. Anxiety
4. Adrenaline
5. ( you’re getting a ramble on fear responses wether you want it or not) but Alex’s automatic fear response almost every time we see him scared ( which is often) is to reach for Luke
And the two most heartbreaking options
6. Alex isn’t sure Luke is stable enough not to flicker before they can poof out after bows so he’s trying to tether him
7. Alex isn’t sure HE is stable enough not to flicker before they can poof out after bows so he’s trying to tether himself
And then the bows and the boys disappear like they always do and Julie knows it’s different but she’s still glowing with the excitement and power of their performance that she’s blissfully oblivious to what it really meant for the boys this time and I SOB THROUGH STAND TALL JUST AS HARD AS UNSAID EMILY EVERY SINGLE TIME for these reason.

Kissing prompt 19 for Lalex and/or #12 for Willie/Reggie please!
Alex isn’t sure how he kept getting talked into attending these parties. They always ended up going the same way for him. Attempting to socialize, or more accurately getting dragged along by his more extroverted friends as they socialized, until he could find a decent corner, dog, or bookshelf to hide behind or with. Occasionally Julie or Bobby would tag along and they could commiserate their misery together. However Julie had a final to study for and Bobby couldn’t(didn’t want to) get out of his shift at work. 
This party was especially shitty as he’d lost track of the rest of his friends fairly quickly. Flynn and Carrie would occasionally show up to dance in the living room where he sat, people watching. The last he saw of Willie and Reggie they were causing havoc by the drinks. From what Alex’s gathered they had attempted to bartend while neither knew the first thing about mixing drinks. And Luke, who knew where Luke ever disappeared to at any of these things.
“Hey hot stuff.” 
Speak of the devil. Luke flopped into Alex’s lap seemingly from out of nowhere, arms almost immediately wrapping around his shoulders. “What’cha up to?”
Alex adjusted his position as best as he could without knocking the beaming Luke from his spot. The weight of his friend rather calming. Luke’s fingers found their way into the back of Alex’s hair, fidgety as always. 
“Wondering what kind of chaos Reg and Willie are causing.” Alex answered.
Luke snorted. “No need to worry there. I saw them making out near the pantry.” 
Alex’s lip twitched in that way they always did when he wasn’t sure if he wanted to laugh at or be annoyed with a situation. Of course that’s where they’d vanished too, the same place they disappeared to every other party. 
“Feeling left out?” Luke leaned in, voice managing to somehow straddle the line between teasing and genuine concern. Alex honestly couldn’t articulate an answer to that one, not entirely sure where Luke’s question was heading. Honestly he was happy Willie and Reggie were enjoying themselves, and he was feeling better and less bitter with Luke here in his lap. 
“I’m fine.” Is the answer Alex eventually landed on, smiling as he admired the ways Luke’s ever changing eyes shifted in the dim lights. 
Somehow the two of them slowly leaned closer to each other. Only realizing they had been getting closer when lips connected, soft, unhurried. 
“Wait.” Luke suddenly pulled back, brows climbing up his forehead. “Do you want to do this?”
Alex swallowed his laugh, pulling Luke back towards him by the front of his shirt. His other hand found its way to the back of his neck, the other boy was wearing one of his silly beanies today so his hair was harder to get to. Alex pulled Luke’s lower lip between his teeth just long enough to elicit a very interested groan out of him. 
Luke looked utterly betrayed when Alex pulled back then. He didn’t stay very away for long, resting their foreheads together so Luke could hear his very pointed whisper. “I’d rather do this at home.”
Luke swallowed hard, stumbling to the floor in his haste to stand up. “Home, yes. Sounds good.” The guitarist fumbled his phone around, no doubt attempting to text the others to let them know. Alex was already working on his own message as Luke’s typing was barely better than his handwriting when his mind wasn’t distracted.
It was a small miracle Luke didn’t combust in the short wait it took to get replies and the go ahead to go from their friends. Maybe Alex could afford to go to a few more parties if it meant getting Luke this riled up.

I am so enthusiastically obsessed with the idea of Julie and the phantoms s2, but I need them to understand that the best (only) way to do that is to pretend that the last 4 years didn't happen. no time jump, no recastings (if they can help it), no explanation on why Carlos was 9, but now he's 14, none. just simply pretend s2 came out right away. give me one. "Wow, you grew fast since dinner." "yea I ate my veggies," and then simply move on. it would be perfectly comedic and simply nothing would be better

"Would you still love me if-" "No, no I wouldn't."
with luke!!! definitely could see him not being able to sleep and just asking the reader in the middle of the night would you still questions, and she would say no after like the fifth question and pull luke closer to her and start brushing her hands through his curls and slowly getting him to fall back to sleep and telling yes i would still love you
This is short, but I thought it was cute! Currently watching the devils and flyers and I saw Luke in the penalty box for tripping I think….it was kinda funny ngl. Hope you enjoy!!
••
For some odd reason you had let Luke convince you that it would be a good idea to set up a tent in the backyard during the middle of summer. Why on earth he wanted to do this? There's no telling what his thought process was, but you agreed under the condition that he would let you drive the boat the next day on the lake.
The ground was hard, even with the cushion of the sleeping bag underneath the two of you. Nothing about this was enjoyable, but you'd do anything for Luke.
After an hour of Luke not shutting up, you were really about to lose it. He kept going on and on about the most random shit and he wasn't getting the hint that you wanted him to zip it. He was currently rambling on about random situations and if you'd still love him.
"What if I was three feet tall...would you love me still?"
"Yes," You internally groaned.
"Oh my God, what if I was allergic to animals. I know you love animals, but would you still love me if we couldn't have any?" He absentmindedly twirled his curls around his finger, snuggling closer to you.
"Yes, Luke. I would love still love you," Your tone was becoming increasingly annoyed, but Luke seemed to be oblivious.
"I would hate to be allergic to animals. Imagine not being able to have a dog," He trailed off.
"Have you seen that trend going around...the one where they ask somebody if they still would love them if they were a worm. Would you?" His voice was loud compared to the peaceful night, the only other thing that could be heard was the crickets somewhere off in the distant.
"I don't even know how to answer that," You rolled over, facing away from Luke.
"Would you still love me if-"
"No, no I wouldn't," Your tone was harsh, cutting easily through the night.
It was quiet for a few seconds, your sudden aggravation catching Luke by surprise. He kept peeking at you from the corner of his eye, wondering if you were going to say anything else.
His eyes quickly cut to the ceiling of the tent when he felt you rustling as you turned to face him and wrap your arms around him. You kissed his temple and ran your fingers through his hair, getting snagged on a couple of tangles he hadn't managed to brush out.
"I love you no matter what, but this hard ass ground and stuffy tent makes me want to drown myself in the lake. I'm doing it for you because I love you and this is something that you wanted. Please shut up and go to sleep so this will be over sooner," Your voiced was low and hoarse, but it caused him to let a belly laugh out.
"Yeah sleeping in here isn't quite like I expected. Wanna go inside?" He turned his head to look at you.
"I thought you'd never ask."
