Top 5 Marina moments (and why?)

{pass along if you wish}

This is incredibly difficult and probably would change depending on when you ask me just because there's quite a few that make the top list but for now these come to mind. Also I've seen a lot of other answers and a lot of people had great ones!

5x07: "I want to hold a little you. I want another version of you that I can count my blessings on." This scene is just everything and so beautiful and I'll forever be upset that we never got to see Maya with her little Carina even if the alternative was cute too. The way Carina is looking at Maya throughout this whole scene too is 😭😍 It was probably the only time in Season 5 that them building a family was truly about just the two of them and I'm glad they had that moment regardless.

4x16: This has always been one of my favorites ever since it aired. Just seeing how happy they were the day of their wedding and so excited to get married that they were dancing in each other's arms in their kitchen. And the way Maya feels so at peace and happy in Carina's arms...I just love it so much.

6x15: This scene feels underrated (at least when it came to top 5 moments for some) and it's at the top for me no question. It was such an overdue conversation for them to have and it was so nice to hear them expressing their feelings to each other openly and being vulnerable with one another and Carina just seeking the comfort in Maya that she was so desperately missing all season long. The way Maya cradles Carina's face and Carina just buries herself in Maya's chest 😭 And this hug shot is truly one of my favorites of the series. So good. "Because I know from the first time I saw you in that bar, you are the person that I wanted to call." 🥰

5x17: This feels like the comfort scene for the fandom and them and it should be. It's everything we had always wanted to see for Marina and I wish we got more scenes like it. It was so simple but so satisfying at the same time. They also kissed so many times in it!!! Who knew that we would end up possibly taking that for granted after Season 7??? Anyways...from Carina sleeping on Maya's side of the bed while she's on shift to Maya waking her up with kisses to them being flirty while 'studying' to falling back into bed with one another and just staring at each other like no one else in the world matters....just perfection ❤️

5x01: This moment is so special because it also shows how incredibly magical Danielle and Stefania's chemistry is (which we all know it is but still) and how so in tune they are with one another that words don't even need to be spoken and their scene together can be so powerful. I'm really glad we got this scene of Carina comforting Maya after finding out she got demoted and being able to be sad about it in the comfort of her wife's arms and Carina showing her that it's okay to be sad about it, even on their wedding day because it's absolutely unfair that it happened to her and out of her control that it happened on one of the best days of her life.

And I just have to add in two bonus ones from Season 7 because it feels wrong to not include them.

7x04: The expressing fears discussion is another convo that was long overdue and I'm so glad we got it (directed by Stefania which was even better) and then getting to see Carina cuddle up to Maya as they go to sleep and basically attaching herself to her and not leaving an inch of space. 🥰 Also Maya looking at Liam and holding onto Carina as she prepares to go to sleep holding her wife was such a good moment too.

7x05: This was such a good scene from beginning to end. Maya seeing Carina's bloody shirt and freaking out, asking if Carina and Liam were okay in a panic to then having the tough discussion with Carina not being able to get pregnant with her eggs and Maya suggest her own so she can still live out that dream. And then we FINALLY get to hear Maya speak in Italian to her wife and call her amore mio. And Liam's precious self was there too. The perfect family moment ❤️

And while I was doing this I realized that the end scene in 6x10 is such a good one too but I don't know what I would take out to replace it with but just know that's also at the top because it's so Marina and Maya not wanting to leave Carina's side not knowing when she'd see her again and the forehead kiss 😭 I miss them so much already 😞

My Jatp Fics: Greatest Hits

It's my birthday! It's also roughly the two and a half year anniversary of me joining this Fandom, which feels like a milestone.

As of now, I've written 75 works for Julie and the Phantoms. 75! That's crazy. Sure, I'd say a lot of my strength lies in exploring small ideas, or in condensing a concept into something short, but... 75!

If you're reading this, I love you! There are so many amazing, talented people in this Fandom and to know you even tangentially is a blessing ❤️ I doubt I would've ever written so much if I wasn't surrounded by so many other passionate creatives.

I do have to give a special shout out to the rest of the Rulie canoe crew. ❤️💜 I love y'all and I'm glad we're friends🥰

In celebration of all of the above, I've compiled a top ten list of all of my fics that I'd most recommend, so if you'd like to show my stories some love (and don't want to wade through all 75), here are the hits:

the sunflower series

Reggie/Julie, QPR Reggie & Luke & Julie, Luke & Flynn

This one is about summer love and how it shines. It's about diving headlong into the surf while your friends cheer you on and holding hands with your ghosts. It follows the echoes of those scorching summer feelings, and the sunflowers that sprout in their wake.

Mutual Pining, Fluff, Slice of Life, 33k, Rated T

what if i fall (but what if you fly)

Julie/Kayla

What if Kayla came to talk to Julie during the dance instead of Nick?

Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Canon Divergence, Julie-centric, 2k, Rated T

one more try (to feel alive)

Reggie/Julie, Julie & Rose

"Get a grip, Reginald. There's no such thing as cute ghost girls."

Fluff and Angst, Role Reversal, Ghost Julie, 1.4k, Rated T

Kept On Climbing 'Til Our Stars Collided

Luke/Bobby, Reggie/Julie, pre-Luke/Bobby/Reggie/Julie

Bobby rubs his eyes.

He must be more screwed up from the dopamine than he thought, because—

There’s an angel in the kitchen.

Fluff and Angst, Pining, Friends with Benefits, Morning After, Jealousy, Awkward Conversations, 2k, Rated M

I'll Be Your Tangerine, You Can Peel Me With Your Teeth

Reggie/Julie

"Don't worry, tesoro. I won't bite. Unless you're into that sort of thing."

He’s pale, far too pale for someone who spends much time at sea, and his blush betrays him.

Pirate AU, Smut, Bonus Romantic Fluff, 4k, Rated E

Our Luxury (A Love Like Stars)

Reggie/Luke/Julie, Luke & Emily, Luke & Ray

“So, I bought a ring,” Luke says, casual in the way that usually Reggie would realize is nowhere near casual and much closer to freaking out, but he’s a little busy choking to death on his lunch.

Fluff and Angst, Established Relationship, Misunderstandings, Proposal, Romantic Gestures, Happy Ending, 13k, Rated T

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Feel Alive

Reggie/Julie, Reggie/Luke/Julie, Julie & Rose, Julie & Ray

Julie has several heart-to-hearts as she tries to figure out how to love a ghost (or two).

Fluff, Queer Themes, Love, Grief, Magic, Series, 7k, Rated T

It Was Only A Pick

Luke/Reggie

God, Reggie thinks as Luke smirks up at him, adorned in the fanning halo of his dark brown hair and the amusement that shines from his eyes, amplified blue from the proximity of the pick, he’s beautiful.

Fluff and Angst, Kissing, Misunderstandings, Music, Confession, Happy Ending, 4k, Rated T

Of Hearts Borrowed And Blue

Reggie/Julie

If anything, Julie’s even more of a grinch here that she would be back home, because she stuffed all of her grief into a battered suitcase, and she can’t just pull it out for every single stranger trying to get her into the Christmas spirit.

Hallmark AU, Fluff and Angst, Strangers to Lovers, 18.3k, Rated E

I Don't Want You Like A Best Friend

QPR Reggie & Julie, Luke/Reggie, Julie/Carrie

Everyone thinks Reggie and Julie are dating. It's a problem, because they're both pining over other people...but they also don't know exactly what they are, or how to reconcile their relationship with the romantic ones they want. They try to help each other, though.

Fluff and Humor, Light Angst, Pining, Jealousy, Queerplatonic Relationship, Friendship (Too Many To Tag), Love, Practice Kissing, Kissing, Friends to Lovers, Sexual Tension, Mild Sexual Content (They Are V Much Horny Teenagers), 13.8k, Rated M

HAPPY NEW YEAR BBYS 🥳🌻💃

Today, 1st January 2022 brings with it so many new opportunities for us. We have 365 days to evolve into a better person, to grow. I genuinely wish that this year brings us loads of positivity, happiness and good health. I hope all those moments we have felt I'm not good enough are replaced by realising our self worth. All the moments we have not liked even hated a part of us get turned into pure adoration and self love. I wish everyone a very happy new year. Let the past stay in the past let's make new, beautiful memories and achieve more than we have yet.

My Tumblr mutuals I LOVE YOU GUYS. You're like a blessing. I can come to talk to you when I can't talk to the people ik irl. You guys never judge and are always there. You make my life so so so much better. I came on here to be a part of a fandom but who knew I'd find three gems 🥺❤️

@mendesblurb @yournameoneverypage @silverswallow

@swiftmendeshoran babe you are amazing.

@malfoytookmyheart and @chocochipcookie305 you guys are the freakin best.

@the creators who's stories I have read, balled my eyes out to, the memes i have laughed my heart out to and all the beautiful art I have seen, thankyouuu!

Hey y'all!

My exam date is 'almost' declared. It's on 17th July, 2022 most probably. So I thought in this last leg of the journey I must give my one hundred percent, right? I'll be going off Tumblr till my exam. I'd miss you all so much. Just thought I'd let everyone know before disappearing without any heads up and making my besties worried. I'll see you soon bbys hopefully as a medico🤞

BYE!

Stay hydrated and keep slaying 💅😚❤️

Me unintentionally romanticising my life by playing music while cooking or bathing; lighting scented candles while studying and going for long solo strolls every evening, just me, my music and nature.

How do you romanticise your life?

My #1 post of 2022

Guys... it's my two year Tumblr-versary lol. The way I FORGOT-

😩❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Bruh, TWO FREAKING years?!?! Like two whole years. But okay, WOW i.

I'm so so so so soooo happy. My first year was so lowkey; I was scared to text 'popular blog owners'; I was legit scared to reblog at one point lol! It's been such a journey. I've loved every bit of it.

I've met such amazing people and I'd never trade this for anything.

@silverswallow @mendesblurb These two people have been my rocks here. They were the ones who made me stay and I'll never forget that. When I started writing they were my source of encouragement. I love you both SO MUCH.

@swiftmendeshoran Britt, the freaking VIBE you have, I LOVE you.

@yournameoneverypage Babe your fics ✨😩

@malfoytookmyheart bro like BRO your blog gets more relatable everytime I'm on there.

@chocochipcookie305 Mal, thankyou for being here.

Tumblr is literally my coping mechanism.

There is so much going on. I've met SUCH great people. All of my studyblr mutuals are the freaking best. I'm EMO and I'm not kidding. @alfalfaaarya @rae-blogging @proving-myself

I have and always will cherish every moment I've spent on here.

🥂 To many more shitposts and rants and fics (reading and hopefully writing)

Signing off

Bree, my dearest, most darling Bree, I hope you have THE HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS EVER!!!!!

You are a precious gem and I can't get enough of you on this hellsite. You're so kind and funny and just so brilliant. Goodness, your mind is something else. It seriously blows my mind how someone can be this clever and smart and creative. You're one of the reasons this fandom is still alive thanks to all the incredible fics you share with us, your MC Mondays, your Newlyweds games and I'm just in awe of your mind. And you know how much I love L&E. They have bewitched me, body and soul. And of course, Lilac, aka the loml! She's breathtakingly beautiful and so smart and funny and kind and so perfect (just like you!). I could literally read about them forever. You have no idea how grateful I am that you decided to share them or how happy they make me. I seriously love them so much.

And you're such a beautiful person as well! You're super kind and caring and so freaking funny. Seriously, you're like one of the funniest people ever and you seem like the best kind of person to hang out with. And the kindness you've shown me will forever be engraved in my heart, I will always treasure it. Seriously, thank you, Bree for everything you've done for me and for this fandom. You're a treasure and you must be protected at all costs.

I seriously can't find the words to describe how amazing and wonderful you are, Bree. I'm so glad I got to know someone as beautiful as you. You deserve all love and appreciation in the whole world and I hope you know how much I adore, admire and appreciate you, lovely Bree. I hope you have the most wonderful day ever, filled with so much happiness. Love you and again, happy birthday<33333

Maurine ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for this lovely message and for making this day extra special! All this praise and love—it's exactly how I feel about you! You bring me so much joy when things in this fandom get rough (and I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who feels that way). That's the kind of immense positivity you bring to this community.

I just consider myself so blessed that you enjoy the content I word-vomit out lol. And my characters, which might as well be Horcruxes because they carry a part of my soul.

Thank you so much for this past year, my love! You have quite literally motivated me to keep going on my roughest days! Love you ❤️❤️❤️

PS I feel so honored you quoted P&P to describe my pairing 😭 😭 😭

 @squidgilator it blows my mind every day how literally the first fandom person i’ve ever talked to not only writes some of my favorite fic of my absolute favorite character but somehow also actually wants my nonsense input on it??? i don’t understand?? but thank you. everyone who hasn't read to build a home (if you’re up for Big Sad) and harmonicas (if you’re not) please, you are missing out. 

 @allalrightagain and @lunapwrites thank you for adopting me like a rude intruding and unhousebroken disaster puppy and letting me make my fandom home right smack in the middle of y’all’s living room lol. truly thank you TT_TT

Hi all, it's a Tuesday, so let's share a little extra tender love & care around here. If you have the energy, would you share a rec or a compliment for a friend? Either on this post, or on your own (tag me if you do, I love to see it). I'll start with just some notes as I don't have the energy for a proper rec list. Here are just a few of the many, many people I'm glad to share this space with -- tagging each of you, and hoping you'll pass it on. And you reading this, you're invited to play along (share a rec or a bit of love, whatever you like) without a tag too, and it doesn't have to be on Tuesdays.

@onbeinganangel makes the most beautiful embroidery pieces my eyes have ever seen, and @babooshkart makes soft kitchen scenes like no other. @softlystarstruck sends me beautiful art and clothes whenever they think of me, @thebooktopus has been filling my dash with gorgeous rec lists. @thistlecat leaves the best comments on fics, even when the fic's are still anon. @lqtraintracks writes challenging, radical smut, and @julcheninred reminds me of what crafting can do for the soul @bearcheers and @rockingrobin69 have said so many kind things about my micros, I want to hang their comments on my wall. @gryffindorhearts makes the best cup of coffee in the world. @tackytigerfic 's kindness to new folks is one of the reasons I started writing. @shealwaysreads sends me the ocean when we both need it, and @lou-isfake's singing voice moves me to tears. What about you, any recs or love to share?
