I don't think pancakes are gonna fix this. I need ice cream too, for the band/whoever you want!

okay full disclosure, i'm a little bit terrified to post this. I've never done this ship before 🙈 or this trope/plot device... but. due to the typical people at fault for the fics that enter my brain... (*ahem* @narcissusbrokenmirror and unnamed party who DOESN'T DO TUMBLR) it exists. and meant I finally had something to write that fit this prompt! (and there's a little treat in here for you) I hope someone likes it 😅 a part II is also planned. just... later.

“Heeeeeey Lukey, you’re up early,” Reggie exclaims from in front of his electric griddle. He’s been busy making pancakes for their weekly band brunch. “Where’ve you been?”

Luke stares, unseeing, as he moves through the motions of removing his shoes by the door. He’d just gotten back home after running out unexpectedly a few hours earlier. Only Willie had been awake early enough to see him off.

“Luke?” Reggie calls back out from the kitchen.

Luke doesn’t answer. He just rounds the doorway into Reggie’s sightline.

Reggie looks up from pouring the next batch of pancakes, almost dropping the bowl when he catches sight of Luke’s face. It’s very nearly expressionless and entirely unlike Luke.

He recovers quickly and sets the bowl gently on the counter before bounding over to Luke.

“Luke? Buddy?” Reggie asks, trying to catch Luke’s gaze. “What happened?”

Luke opens and closes his mouth, trying to speak but can’t manage to make sound.

“Alex! Willie?” Reggie calls desperately, raising his voice loudly enough to ensure they hear him.

They both appear almost instantly.

“What’s-” Alex starts to ask before catching sight of Luke and cutting himself off.

“Something’s wrong,” Reggie cries, panic edging into his voice.

Alex runs a hand through his hair as he gulps in a deep breath. “Okay. Okay. Let’s…” he looks around the kitchen and then back out to the living room. “Let’s get him sitting down somewhere.”

Alex and Reggie each grab one of Luke’s arms and try to steer him toward the couch.

Reggie suddenly drops the arm he’d been holding and turns back toward the kitchen. “Shit! The-”

“It’s okay, I’ve got it,” Willie assures him, picking up the flipper. They gesture back toward Luke. “You take care of Luke, I’ll finish these.”

Reggie sends them a small grateful smile and grabs back hold of Luke. He helps Alex guide Luke to the couch where they gently set him down.

Reggie kneels in front of Luke, trying again to catch his gaze. When he fails, he sets a hand on each of Luke’s knees. The contact seems to jolt Luke back to reality, at least slightly.

Alex sits next to him on the sofa. Luke leans into his side and Alex wraps an arm around Luke’s shoulders.

“I got you. We’ve got you. You’re okay,” Alex murmurs softly.

Luke’s eyes go glassy as he settles back into the present, soaking in the comforting presence of his best friends.

Reggie decides to try again. “What’s going on?”

Luke raises his eyes to meet Reggie’s. “Carrie’s pregnant.”

Reggie jumps back in surprise while Alex’s brow furrows.

“Carrie… Like Carrie Wilson,” Alex confirms.

Luke nods.

“Why…? Luke…” Alex pulls back slightly and turns so he can face Luke. “Luke, why would that affect you?”

Luke looks up at Alex with sad eyes.

Reggie’s eyes widen in understanding. “Luke! When? Carrie?! How?” he stammers through his shock.

Luke takes a deep breath and pulls himself fully away from Alex. He clasps his hands together and stares at them to avoid looking at Alex or Reggie. “The night of the Billboards,” he explains.

“You and Carrie?” Reggie asks again, disbelief still present in his voice.

Luke nods.

“How? I mean. It’s Carrie. And you. I just…”

“I know. It just… happened.”

“And you never told us?” Alex chimes in, betrayed.

Luke shakes his head.

“Okay. Don’t think we won’t be revisiting that later. But. Is she okay? Does she know what she wants to do? Do you know what you want her to do?”

Another shake of Luke’s head. He collapses back into Alex.

Reggie climbs up to wrap his arms around both of them. “You know we’ve got you, right? No matter what,” he murmurs.

Luke nods into Alex’s chest.

Reggie’s thighs start burning from how he’s perched for their little huddle. He’s just about to pull away when they hear the apartment door open and close.

“Julie,” Reggie whispers. As always, she’s perfectly on time for brunch.

The three of them pull apart. “Do you want her to know?” Alex asks sincerely.

Luke’s mouth opens in an attempt to answer but his efforts are stalled as they hear Willie call out from the kitchen, very obviously warning them of Julie’s arrival. “They’re in the living room.”

The guys don’t speak as they watch the doorway for Julie.

Julie enters the room and immediately stops. She takes in their state and her face scrunches up in concern.

“What’s wrong?” she asks, slow and wary.

Alex and Reggie both turn to Luke, waiting to follow his lead. He looks up at Reggie with wide, pleading eyes.

Reggie furrows his brow in silent question. At Luke’s slight nod, he turns back to Julie. “Carrie’s pregnant,” he tells her, rushing through the pair of words as if it’ll make it easier to say. And hear.

“Okaaaaay,” she counters slowly.

“It’s Luke’s,” he adds just as quickly.

Julie turns wide, disbelieving eyes on Luke. “Really?”

He nods.

“Shit.”

They stare at each other in silence for a moment before she breaks it. “Are you okay?”

Luke’s eyes fill with tears and he shakes his head.

Julie walks over to the couch and shoves Luke and Alex over to make room. She wedges herself between Luke and the arm of the sofa. Julie takes Luke’s hand and gently strokes the back of it with her thumb. “Tell me about it?” she offers.

“There’s nothing to tell, really. We were both pissed at how the Billboards went, hooked up, never spoke about it again. Until…”

“Yeah,” Julie softly responds, saving him from having to finish the sentence.

“There’s a uh… lot of details missing there, Luke,” Reggie chimes in.

Alex swats Reggie’s shoulder with the back of his hand.

Reggie rubs his shoulder and glares at Alex. “That are totally none of our business,” he adds hastily.

“It was so… stupid!” Luke exclaims. He pulls his hand back from Julie. He scrubs at his face before running his hands up into his hair. He leans over to rest his elbows on his knees, supporting his face in his hands.

“Hey,” Julie counters gently, pulling his hands away from his head. “Hey, I think we all did some pretty stupid shit that night.”

“We did?!” Reggie squeaks.

“We did,” Julie confirms. She averts her gaze but the blush rising up her face is unmistakable.

Reggie narrows his eyes at her. “What stupid shit did Julie do?”

“We’re not talking about me right now.”

“Hm. Well, maybe knowing Julie’s stupid shit will make Luke feel better,” Reggie counters, looking pointedly at Luke.

“Yeah, I don’t think so,” Julie says, drawing out the ‘yeah’ to make her doubt clear.

Luke lifts his gaze up, trying to catch hers. He narrows his eyes. “What did you do, Julie?”

��I… really don’t think you want to know. Forget I said anything.”

Luke cocks his head and looks at her sideways. “You know that’s not gonna happen.”

Julie stands. She turns toward them and then back away, uncertainty lacing every movement.

“Julie?” Alex tries. “Jules, it can’t be that bad.”

“It’s not that bad if I keep it to myself,” she murmurs.

Luke lets out a good-humoured scoff, “It’s not like you hooked up with Bobby or something.”

Julie stops in her tracks. Her eyes widen and she gapes at them.

Luke’s expression shifts to mimic hers. “You hooked up with Bobby?!” He exclaims, disbelieving and angry.

Alex sets a calming hand on Luke’s knee. Luke brushes it off.

Alex quickly glares at Luke before redirecting his attention to Julie, “Okay well, you’re not pregnant too, right?”

“No!” Julie assures them. “I mean, probably. I don’t think so… No. No, I can’t be. I’m not.”

“Are you and Bobby like… together?” Luke asks slowly.

Julie shakes her head. “No. No, it was just… We got lost in the chaos of everything that night. I swear. It only happened the once,” she pauses to consider before continuing, “Well, the one night.”

Luke’s face twists up in disgust, “Ew. Gross. I do not want to know. You’re right. I don’t feel better.” He groans. “But at least I didn’t hook up with… him.” Luke’s expression contorts into a final grimace.

Alex sighs, “Okay, can we get back to the issue at hand?”

“Pancakes?” Reggie exclaims hopefully.

“No, Reggie. Not pancakes.”

“Pancakes fix everything,” Reggie mumbles. “Sue me for trying to help. Though… they’re probably cold by now…”

“I don't think pancakes are gonna fix this… We need ice cream too,” Luke murmurs.

Reggie jumps up and bounds toward the kitchen. “Willie! Willie, we need to dig out the ice cream to have with our pancakes! It’s an emergency. What kinds do we have?” He trips over his feet in his enthusiasm, just barely managing to recover before face planting on the floor.

Alex, Luke, and Julie shake their heads fondly as they watch him leave.

Julie turns back around to Luke. She crouches in front of him and takes his hands. “We good?”

“Yeah, we’re good. Let’s just… never talk about it again please?”

Julie nods her agreement. “You bet. Are you going to be okay?”

“No, but we’ll figure it out. We always do, right?”

Julie smiles up at him. “Right.”

“And we’re all here with and for you,” Alex confirms. He puts his hand on Luke’s back. “All of it. No matter what.”

Luke directs a sad smile at Alex. “Thanks, man.”

Alex nods once in acknowledgement. “Should we go see what kind of mess those two have managed to create in the last three minutes?”

Luke and Julie cough out matching laughs. Julie stands, pulling Luke up with her. She squeezes his hands twice before letting one go and pulling him toward the kitchen.

christmas elf reggie??? u have my attention 👀

Okay so Christmas Elf Reggie basically sprang into my head while walking the dog solely because I liked the mental image of Reggie in jingly shoes. And by the end of the dog-walk I had a whole fic planned in my brain.

And then I wrote 600 words and my brain went: nope I'm out of juice. I hope I can finish it though

Have the first paragraph, which I basically wrote in my head and then repeated to myself over and over for the last five minutes of the walk so I could get it down in a word doc before I forgot:

When her Dad’s new boyfriend asked her if she’d be interested in helping out at his charity event, Julie had been imagining playing the piano at some fancy gala. Or maybe singing fancy Christmas Carols for rich people while Caleb wined and dined them out of sizable donations. Something where she could wear a sparkly dress and some cute strappy heels at the Hollywood Ghost Club.

Fake dating prompts! wearing eachothers clothes publicly to 'keep up the image' for the Julie (clothes thief extraordinaire) pairing of your choice!

also for @bananakarenina who asked: FAKE DATING MY BELOVED wearing each other's clothes to keep up the image, rulie

This was absolutely absurd. Julie could hardly believe what she was reading, not to mention the audacity to push this kind of decision to them via email. She and Alex were really the only ones who even regularly checked their emails so she wasn’t even sure if Reggie had even seen this and she really did not want to be the one to break this particular bit of news to him.

He had already acted weird enough when all the tabloids and even slightly more legitimate magazines and websites had latched onto the rumor that she and Reggie were dating.

Hot on the heels of their recent Grammy win Julie Molina, frontwoman of Julie and the Phantoms, seen hand in hand with bassist and fellow phantom Reggie Peters while sporting his signature flannel. Are we seeing the sparks of a new romance? Anonymous sources near the pair…

Sure, just ignore how she had borrowed Luke’s fleece and Alex’s hoodie twice earlier that same week or how she, Flynn, and Willie had all ended up in some particularly compromising positions at the skatepark.

When the PR team said they’d come up with a plan, Julie had foolishly thought they meant some sort of damage control. Maybe their typical ‘ignore it and continue on with their lives until the gossip rags find a new fascination’ approach. Not this nonsense.

And her attempts to protest the decision by calling Andi were completely useless.

“They're not saying you have to actually date each other.” Andi said, like she wasn’t one of the ones pushing forward with this stupid decision. “The rumors are already there, the label just wants you to lean into them to try and boost interest in the new single.”

“By lying to our fans?” Julie snapped back, rolling her eyes at the BS reasoning Andi no doubt was parroting from someone else about how since they weren’t putting out an official statement, just letting the rumor mill spin a little longer, it wasn’t lying.

Thankfully for Andi, Julie got distracted halfway through that particularly banal drivel by Alex and Luke letting themselves into her apartment. Unfortunately for Julie, they were dragging along a particularly beleaguered Reggie clearly trying to act like nothing was wrong.

So they’d all definitely read the e-mail then. Julie didn’t have the time or headspace to try and navigate why Reggie’s understandably negative reaction made her insides twist up.

There was also no way she was going to be able to out maneuver the prepared PR answers Andi had been given. Last time she tried had not ended well for anyone.

“I thought the Grammy stirred up plenty of attention?”

“Cam is worried that all the focus would be on your last album,” Andi started to say but Julie quickly tuned out. Ugh, Cam. She was going to strangle whoever decided to hire Cam as the new head of PR.

“Well, ask Cam,” Jule started hearing her bandmates echo her sentiments, “How does a fake relationship put any focus on the album at all?”

It was no good, the loop began anew and Julie was not in the mood to talk circles for the rest of her morning. She handed the phone off to Alex to see if he could manage to talk some sense into anyone since he’d had the most luck with it in the past. Luke handed her a warm mug of coffee as she settled on the counter while Reggie quietly fussed around with her coffee maker.

“Good news, bad news.” Alex said, after finishing the call with Andi and after some sense of normalcy had returned to the three in the kitchen–Reggie had managed to lighten the mood with some theories behind Cam’s credentials.

“They’re planning on releasing a more appropriate marketing campaign for the single.” Alex said as he handed Julie back her phone.

“But?” Luke was the one to prompt, though Julie already suspected what the bad news was and going off the look she exchanged with him, so did Reggie.

“But they still want you two to “look the part” of a happy couple.”

Reggie had an idea, which given past experience had the potential of ranging from absolutely genius to extremely downright worrying. Julie was really hoping this leaned more to the former than the latter since she honestly didn’t know what else to do.

She sat waiting near the bus stop where they agreed to meet.

“Hey, Jules!” Reggie’s voice carried to her from down the street, and all of her overthinking was swapped out as she looked up to see him heading towards her, typical black pants and leather jacket. Standing out amongst his ensemble however was the bright yellow smiley face shirt he was wearing.

In all the time she’d known him the most color she’d seen him wear was red, maybe the occasional muted or dark brown or blue, but mostly he stuck with his black and white. The shock of seeing him in such a bright color was so much it took a little too long for her to even register it was her sweater. She hadn’t been able to find it and was almost certain she’d lost it.

“This is your idea?” She said, finally getting the gears in her brain to work again.

“Yeah,” He smiled down at her, bright as ever, looking down at the sweater then back at her. “Hope you don’t mind, you accidentally gave it to me when you returned my flannels last week.”

“And it fits?”

“Mostly, the sleeves kind of bunch up funny under my jacket.” He grimaced, then pulled said jacket off handing it over to her, pushing the sleeves of the sweat up to his mid forearm. Then waved off her efforts to hand his jacket back. “You wear it.”

Her brain froze again, trying to think of any other time Reggie had willingly let any of them borrow his jacket. He laughed, no doubt at what must be her gobsmacked expression.

“But I will be taking it home with me.” He said, throwing an arm around her shoulders once she donned the jacket. “Now, I think you still owe me pizza from last month’s game night.”

Julie attempted to blink back the surprise of the past few minutes, not sure why her thoughts were so eagerly trying to run away from her.

#rulie #rulie relajante #julie and the phantoms #really this was one of those background engineered fics #I knew I wanted Reggie to borrow her sweater but I wasn't sure why he would #Then I wanted the fake dating to not be their idea so I had to engineer whose it was #though it's probably not going to be too many more steps to real dating

Friends to lovers trope my beloved! hugging and absentmindedly kissing their neck, resulting in mortification for one of them for rulie please!

Also tagging @jmrothwell, who asked for the same prompt! <3

Julie frowns at herself in the mirror.

She looks fine. She's being ridiculous.

Reggie has known her since they were six and seven years old; he's seen her covered in mud and paint and god knows what else. Heck, he saw her cry because she got her hair stuck in a fan once!

Which…may have slightly been his fault, but he'd looked so torn up about it that she hadn't had the heart to be mad at him. Plus, he had held her hand the whole time as her mom got the fan detangled.

So. She looks totally fine, and he knows she's looked worse. He's just dropping by her apartment for a friendly weekend visit. No need to fret about her baby hairs, or if her tied-back t-shirt and patchwork jeans are cute but casual enough. None at all!

Still…

She tugs at her curls, wondering if she ought to try and tame them. But if she leaves them be, he might play with them, or bury his face in them when he hugs her.

She'd given him permission to touch her hair long ago, and the way he'd lit up is still burned on the inside of her eyelids.

And he's gotten really good at braiding it, which kinda outweighs the whole thing with the fan. She smiles at the thought.

"Daydreaming about your boy, babe?"

Julie squeaks, spinning to confront Kayla's smirk, which only grows as Julie stammers.

"H-he isn't…it's not like that!"

"Oh?" Kayla's eyebrows arch. "Julie, how long have you been standing there?"

Julie bites her lip, and Kayla relents a bit.

"Well, either way, I'll be out of your hair before he gets here. Don't sweat it, okay? I'm sure he's sighing into the sunset and messing with his hair in his mirrors, too."

She's gone in a whirl of glitter and fluttery purple fabric before Julie can object, or even ask her about her own plans.

And Julie tries not to daydream. She does.

But, well…

How else is she supposed to pass the time? She's sick of overanalyzing herself.

She's sitting on the couch with a book she hasn't absorbed a word of by the time he knocks on the door, wrenching her from a particularly interesting scenario in her head that involved them square dancing.

She may or may not have stolen his hat.

Anyway! Reality! He's here!

She plucks at her top and her bracelets and her hair, then hurries over to the door.

Swinging it open reveals his sunny crooked smile, and his bright green eyes, which have crinkled at the corners.

"Hi," she breathes, heart hammering against the bars of her ribs. "How—"

He surges forward and tugs her into his arms, startling a giddy laugh out of her.

He does bury his face in her hair, and her heart stutters. She hides her face in the crook of his neck as he murmurs…

"Missed you."

That does sort of answer her unspoken question. She missed him too, of course, and she holds him tighter in response.

She even missed the way he smells, like leather and some kind of smoky cologne.

He didn't always, of course. He used to smell like freshly cut grass from hours spent outside, or like cinnamon candies.

One thing that hasn't changed, though, is how sensitive his neck is. Ticklish. She'd first discovered it by accident when they were teens, playing with the fine hair at the nape of his neck, and she loves how blushy he gets, how it makes him shiver and surrender a quiet, breathy laugh.

A quiet, breathy laugh that's echoing a bit too sharply in her ears.

"J-Julie—"

Her eyes fly open, and she gasps, detaching her lips from his neck.

She tries to scramble out of his arms, but he keeps holding her close, and she presses her forehead into his shoulder with a groan. A blush burns along her cheeks, spreading to the tops of her ears.

"Oh my god, Reggie, I am so sorry…"

He swallows, hard. "You don't have to be."

She feels her confusion write itself on her face, wrinkling her forehead. She lifts her head slowly, still conscious of her flush.

And he's blushing too, but what really makes her gasp is the state of his eyes.

They flicker, like a candle burning low, to her lips, darker than she's ever seen them.

"If you want me," he murmurs, "don't be sorry. Just say the word, and I'm yours."

So she bunches her fingers in the back of his jacket, uncaring of the fact that they're still standing in the doorway for anyone to see, and tilts her face more towards his.

She's scarcely said yes before he's stealing the word straight from her lips.

And later, when Kayla takes one look at her and her still thoroughly mussed hair, squeals, and tells her good for you, Julie just beams…

Too sated and smitten to be mortified at all.

#friends to lovers prompts #rulie #reggie x julie #ficlets with ash #it's probably obvious but Julie goes to a university that's maybe a few hours away from where they grew up #the university bit just ended up being incredibly in the background lol #julie and the phantoms

For the hug prompts, could you do 3 and 2 with Alex and Julie?

It’s a little different with each of them, now that they can touch.

Reggie’s all bouncing hugs after rehearsal and sneaking up behind her so he can tuck his chin onto her shoulder, his limbs or his head ending up in her lap during movie nights.

Luke is, well, Luke, and all their interaction are charged with the nervous energy that comes with balancing on the edge of something more than friends. Hands brushing accidentally when they play the piano, fingers loosely intertwined while they write, and his palm on her cheek when he tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.

But Alex’s hugs are her favorite. For one thing, he’s just the right height for her to burry her face in his chest and it doesn’t hurt that he wears the softest, coziest sweatshirts.

Or maybe it’s just that she just appreciates them more because they are so rare.

Alex is more tentative than the others. Hesitates a little longer, pulls away a little faster. She can’t tell if it has something to do with her specifically or if it’s just how he is.

This morning Alex poofs into the kitchen with a smile and wraps an arm around her shoulders for a couple seconds before leaning ever so causally against the counter.

Which is to say, because it’s Alex, not very causally at all.

She can tell he’s especially anxious this morning, had memorized all his ticks ages ago. The way his fingers tap on the nearest surface and his eyes don’t stay focused on any one point and his leg jumps like he’s barely managing to stand still.

With anyone else she might ask if he was okay, but she knows Alex will talk when he’s ready. Knows he needs to talk everything out until he can make it make sense. Knows it’s probably why he’s here in the first place.

So she just continues packing her lunch and waits him out.

“So, I have a date later,” is what he finally says.

Julie grins, biting back the urge to tease him for the blush spreading across his cheeks. “And?” she prompts gently.

“And I’m freaking out!” Alex exclaims.

Julie put down the butter knife, “You and Willie have been going out for a month. What’s different about today?”

“He wants to teach me to skateboard.” Alex announces solemnly.

And Julie can’t help herself, she laughs.

Alex glares at her, “If I wanted to be laughed at I would have just talked to Luke and Reggie.”

“I’m sorry,” Julie says through her giggles, “But that’s a terrible idea.

“I know!” Alex yells, burying his face in his hands, the rest of his words coming out muffled, “That what I told him.”

Julie sighs, she’s clearly not helping. Walking over she tugs at Alex’s hands until he gives in and looks at her.

“It’ll be fine,” she says in her most reassuring voice, “Willie won’t let anything bad happen to you.” She grins, “I bet he’s a good teacher.”

Alex’s face goes red and he tugs her into a tight hug, probably just to hide the blush, but she’ll take it either way. “Thanks, Jules.”

Julie smiles, breathing in the comforting scent of flowers and drum polish and sweat. It doesn’t sound like it should be nice, but it’s so inherently Alex, that she can’t help but love it.

“Hey, Alex?” She murmurs into his pink hoodie.

“Yeah?”

“If you break your arm, Flynn will destroy you both.”

Side hugs (#2) and pulling into a hug (#3)

“Are you okay?” Julie asked.

Alex seemed to hesitate on the other end of the line. Then a rustle that sounded like he was shaking his head. “I—don’t think so.”

“Oh Alex.”

“Can—can I come over?” he asked quietly.

Julie didn’t really know how to respond. Usually her response would have been, “of course!” but tonight? “It’s Christmas Eve.”

Two years.

Two years ago in the summer, I remember an account I follow retweeted a trailer for an upcoming show and I watched it and thought “hm interesting concept. There are ghosts and when music is played they can be seen hm.”

Late October, I was working on a school assignment but before I did I needed something on in the background. I remembered before my friend and I had said something about maybe we should watch this show that just had come out and in that conversation my friend had mentioned that one of the characters is gay so after that I was like “oh… didn’t know that but cool.” So for the background noise I decided “why not watch that show? It’s only 9 episodes, a quick watch, not a lot can happen.” And that show was Julie and the Phantoms.

I remember going into and just- all these stereotypes that were being portrayed right away I thought I knew how the story would go but to have them constantly break those stereotypes it made me love it. It was something different, something unique, something new.

In a time where the world was scary and unpredictable at its highest point in a generations lifetime, there was Jatp. And not to say, “Jatp single handled saved 2020” it was definitely a light in the darkness. That as shitty and terrifying the world was, there was this show. This show that had such lovable and well-written characters, compelling story, fascinating friendships and relationships to it, amazing music, stellar costumes, just- it was ticking all the boxes.

After finishing, I feel down the rabbit hole of watching anything and everything about it. Seeing the friendship this cast has with each other, the behind the scenes of everything made me love it even more.

After trying to convince people in my life to watch it bc omg how can you not watch this amazing show plus, I wanted someone to talk to about it with, I lasted like a week and I impulsively made this blog and I’ve never looked back.

Being a fantom is unlike any other fandom I’ve been in. The amount of creative work there is, the amount of discussion there is, it’s so amazing to see us all coming together bc we all have this one simple little interest.

I haven’t been in the fandom “since the beginning” but I have been here awhile and it’s been so fun. The clowning, the trending, the gates.

I love this little ghost show with all my heart. There’s always going to be apart of me that wants it to be continued because in my heart it’s going to be continued, I don’t want it to end. This little 9 episode show about a girl and her ghosts shouldn’t come to an erupt end because it is unlike any other show out there.

Two years ago today, Julie and the Phantoms came out and it’s been an incredible and emotional two years but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

#thought I was going to be a casual fan but came out a fantom so ya know things happen #…no a day goes by I think about how I watched Jatp for ‘background noise’#happy aniversary everyone!!#jatp #julie and the phantoms #jatp netflix #fantoms #julie and the fantoms
