Bandstand Headcanon

Johnny loves the movies. It’s one of the few things he can remember stuff about besides music. He knows the names of a bunch of stars and remembers movie quotes. He annoys the band by constantly quoting movies. He also has the biggest crush on Gene Kelly which him and Julia both gush about and see every new movie with him in it together (also Judy Garland because Johnny is an OG friend of Dorothy).

[the-cryptid-finch]

Me trying to explain Bandstand to anyone: A family isn't always your blood. It isn't just a mother and a father. Sometimes a family is a depressed bisexual war veteran, the widow of his best friend, an alcoholic double bass player who likes Shakespeare, a drummer with memory problems, a gay lawyer who likes checkered trousers, a divorced dad of two who has OCD and a trumpet player with anger issues.

Literally anyone else:...what?

SILAS & DEB'S NORTH AMERICAN HONEYMOON TOUR 1913

[the-river-rix]

I’m constantly haunted by Julia having particular sensitivity towards Wayne because he’s trying so hard to be a good dad but he can’t be what his family needs because of factors outside of his control and her father was terrible and chose to abandon her and her mother

[Flower Fine Festival] - Junior 3★ Card Story Translation

Ft. Dino, Faith, Asch, Oscar, Ren, Nova, Marion

day dream

[Yellow West Living Room]

Junior: Ugh, I still don’t feel 100% back yet after all that lying around…

Dino: We didn’t do anything for that entire time after all, but there’s no need to rush. I’m sure it’ll all come back eventually.

Junior: Ughh… I don’t get how Keith is so fast on his feet when he’s always slacking off…

Dino: Well, Keith is a pretty strategic guy. By conserving his energy, he can maximize his efforts using the least amount of work possible.

Junior: That’s insane…

Junior: Well, whatever. I’ll just start off with some jogging to get back into it.

Dino: That sounds like fun. I’ll join you.

Junior: Hey Shitty DJ, if you’re free, you should join us.

Faith: Thanks, but no thanks. We just got done with sparring.

Junior: Huuh, you’re tired already? That’s lame as hell.

Faith: Yep, you got me. I’m just no match for you, Ochibi-chan.

Faith: Although… not even you could beat the pollen despite all that energy. I mean, you couldn’t even get up by yourself to take a shower.

Junior: Shaddup! I totally could!!

Faith: Mhmm, whatever you say.

Dino: I had an awfully hard time doing anything. It took everything I had to get to the venue when I tried to help out.

Junior: I tried to go too, but I just couldn’t do it.

Dino: Really? I thought you were resting in your room the whole time.

Junior: It sucks having to sit around and do nothing, so I wanted to help out where I could.

Junior: But whenever I’d try to go out, I’d somehow wake up in my bed again.

Dino: It must have taken all your strength just to leave.

Junior: I guess…

Faith: Now that you mention it, sometimes I’d come back to find you sleeping in your uniform.

Junior: I also had a couple of weird dreams around that time.

Dino: What do you mean by that?

Junior: Well there was one where I was saved by a lion that wouldn't shut up and just complained the whole time...

Dino: Ahaha, sounds like a picture book.

Junior: He wasn’t cute at all though. It felt kind of real actually the way he was roaring at me...

♡♥♡

[Helios Common Area]

Asch: Does this look like a bed to you!? Get up!

Junior: Hhhn…? A lion…?

Asch: What did you say to me!? You’ve got guts to be talkin’ back in your sleep!

Junior: Shut up… Just leave me alone…

Asch: To hell with that! You better get your ass in gear now!

Junior: …Zzz.

Asch: Hmph, did that substance do this to him? Pathetic.

Asch: Tch…

Oscar: Are you giving Junior a ride back to his room? That’s very kind of you, Asch.

Asch: Huh!? Oscar!?

Asch: Who said anything about me carrying him!? You take him!

Oscar: I can, but that’s what you were planning to do, wasn’t it?

Asch: Stop tryna chit-chat and just do it!

Junior: Hnn… I said shut up…

♡♥♡

[Yellow West Living Room]

Junior: And the dream ended with the bear following the lion’s orders and taking me out of the forest…

Dino: Wow, that’s just like a fairy-tale! ♪

Dino: Both the lion and the bear were pretty good guys, huh?

Faith: (...Is he talking about Asch and Oscar?)

Junior: The next day I tried again but somehow ended up back in my bed like before… That time I had a weird dream about getting lost in a dungeon.

Dino: A what?

Junior: A dungeon, like in some of the games I’ve seen Gray play.

Junior: Whoever was playing this one sucked at it though. We kept circling around the same place over and over again.

Faith: Going in circles, huh….

♡♥♡

[Helios Research Hallway]

Ren: …Doctor Nova? Huh…

Ren: Hey. That’s not a bed. Wake up.

Junior: Hnngh… Don’t wanna… Let me sleep…

Ren: …? Is this because of that substance Victor was talking about?

Ren: Fine then.

*[Lifts Junior up and walks off]*

[Helios Corridor]

Ren: …I’m lost.

♡♥♡

[Yellow West Living Room]

Junior: We just kept going around and around for what seemed like forever until I finally woke up in my room.

Dino: That sounds like a nightmare to me. It must have been exhausting.

Faith: (Why do I get the feeling Ren was helping him out?)

Junior: I tried leaving my room three times and all three times I had weird dreams…

Dino: What happened the third time?

Junior: I can’t remember any details about that one, but for some reason I feel like I met God…

Dino: You saw God in your dream…? Was it like a message or…?

Junior: Umm, not exactly. I just remember being super happy when I woke up.

Faith: (Knowing Ochibi-chan, this “God” can only be…)

Faith: (Aha, better keep quiet. I won’t hear the end of it otherwise ♪)

♡♥♡

[Helios Corridor]

Nova: Marion, over he~re!

Marion: To think there’d be someone other than you passed out in the hall.

Nova: Ahaha, right? Junior has an excuse though unlike me; the pollen I told you about is affecting him.

Nova: Could I ask for your help, Marion? If I tried to take him back myself, these noodle arms and legs would give out in a second.

Marion: Understood. I’ll bring him back to his room.

Nova: Thanks Marion, you’re a lifesaver.

Junior: Hnngh… God…?

*[Marion lifts Junior on his back]*

Marion: Is he sleep-talking?

Nova: Haha, you look like a picture-perfect big brother right now.

Marion: Me? Well, I am the older one.

Junior: Hahh… This is heaven~...

THE EPILOGUE FOR BANDSTAND GOES OVER A SPAN OF AT LEAST FOUR YEARS? HELLO?

The beginning scene takes place a year after the events of the radio contest. We know Act One and the majority of Act Two (everything but the Epilogue) take place in 1945, so that means the Epilogue starts in '46 (see image below).

But we suddenly jump forward FOUR YEARS to not only when The Rainbow Room has opened again, but they've ALREADY PERFORMED THERE?

That's it. That's the post. The band is still together after, like, five+ years. This is fine. This didn't make me almost start crying out of happiness. (<- complete and utter sarcasm.)

The band is so happy together... Oh, they're such a found family...

I like to imagine that Phoenix has beautiful shoulder length wolfcut hair when he doesn't gel up his spikes.

[worstjourney]

hello, I just browsed through your character sheets on your patreon (amazing btw!) and was fascinated by an anecdote about Silas having a laughing fit because of a dance mishap? Do you know more about this story? It sounds like such a funny scene!

This comes from Tryggve Gran's diary. It was the night they celebrated the Return of the Sun in the miserable Second Winter. They knew their friends were dead, they didn't know how; the weather was constantly atrocious – they needed a party, and even though no one saw the sun (because there was a blizzard, of course) they celebrated its astronomical return with a big bust-up all the same.

Besides, there was a lot of alcohol to put away before the ship returned to take them all home.

Anyway, Gran records:

We acted like a pack of schoolboys who had just been set loose on holiday. Nelson and I danced a 'mixed Cakewalk Fandango.' Wright was the judge of the dance, the last part of which ended as follows: a somersault by Gran knocked Nelson out of the dance, causing the judge, Wright, a paralysis of laughter which resulted in his making acquaintance with the floor of the hut. His hilarity was uncontrollable, and we the artists didn't find it easy to help in this situation. Wright was therefore carried off to bed where he laughed himself to sleep. — The Norwegian with Scott, p.206

After this, Gran, Keohane, Williamson, Nelson, Atkinson and Debenham launched into a sing-song, with the cook Archer joining them after midnight. They kept going until 2.

That's one of my favourite little Silas anecdotes, so thanks for asking!

So, the dude in the center of the pic, the one with the bobble on his hat is, I believe, The One And Only Lawrence O. I mean the tan, the posture, the broad albeit slightly sloping shoulders, and that wonky bobble, yup, looks like my man. The gentleman with his back to the cam is, I thik Uncle Bill, then we have two bespectacled dudes to the right, that would be Cherry (bare head) and Silas (hat on). The dude in white hat, God, I have no idea, does somene recognise him? The most-on-the-left dude (with that white strip on his back) doesn't have much of recofnisable features, but something in him makes me to suspect the human incarnation of Jack Russell Terrier, known as Teddy Evans. As for the mushroom hat and pipe man... Nope, do not recognise him.
