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???

#f: jatp #yeah wer were/are huge #but i'm pretty sure we weren't the target audience #and the cast grew up too much while on hiatus

[unsaidjulie]

sometimes i get reminded that some people dont actually ship juke and i just ??? huh???

[unsaidjulie]

incorrect quotes that could’ve been 1/?

Stan Julie Molina for clear skin. Dislike her if you want to get trapped in a dark room for 25 years

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

JULIE AND THE PHANTOMS premiered one year ago on Netflix

[unsaidjulie]

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.

[unsaidjulie]

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™

[unsaidjulie]

with still no fucking renewal

#it's literally in 8 mins for me #i hate it here

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

#SAME #i used to act quite a bit when i was younger and on stage performing was the only time i felt at peace #even when i had serious solo scenes and monologues #they were as easy as improvisations when things would go wrong #it's weird how anxiety works and i never realised how much it shows in alex's character

it’s september 1st which means it’s officially jatp season, sorry i don’t make the rules
