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

He sounds like a mix between a motorcycle and a cicada, but it gets the same point across so I guess we can call it purring.

As you can probably tell from my previous posts, I've been reading through the Julie and the Phantoms novels, and I noticed something interesting in terms of canon/world-building in Whatever Happens (A Julie and the Phantoms Original Novel) by Candice Buford...
(spoilers for the novel ahead)
So, if we assume that the article that Julie shows the boys in ep 1 is canon (and not just something that someone put together for the sake of having something to show onscreen), the date of the article (which you can barely see due to my blurry screenshot) is sometime in July 1995, with the article stating that at the time of writing, the boys had died a week previously.
The novel is mostly flashbacks of Julie and Luke's memories of their respective 'perfect days', and for Luke, it is the day before the fateful almost-perfornance of Sunset Curve at the Orpheum (AKA the day before Luke, Alex and Reggie die).
He managed to scrape enough money to buy tickets for himself and the rest of Sunset Curve to go to a Foo Fighters concert - not just any Foo Fighters concert, however. Luke mentions that the concert was held at the Palace Theatre... and my detective senses began to tingle.
I love discovering real-life connections to the small details in a show's universe, and I naturally went digging online to see whether Foo Fighters really performed at the Palace Theatre in 1995...
They did.
The Foo Fighters official website (link here) states that they played at the Palace Theatre on 19th May 1995 (and even shows the setlist of songs that they played on the night).
So...
Bearing in mind that in-show canon is usually perceived as being more 'legitimate' than a tie-in original novel, but also knowing that we have only have a week in July 1995 as a rough estimate of the boys' date of death...
Would it be possible to theorise that a possible date of Sunset Curve's almost-performance at the Orpheum (and Luke, Alex and Reggie's death) was actually 20th May 1995?
Just a theory/headcanon/thinking way too deep into a silly kids book 🔍

Does anyone here remember Protocreed......
It's a dead crack ship that fucks me over to this day.
(so srry for invoking this but I'm going down memory lane and remembered this ship existed and y'all the way it had a hold on me in the golden age of Tumblr. Can't believe this was my first crack ship. And now that I know how to art, I realized what's stopping me from drawing a nostalgic ship. )
