Stand Tall Ramble

Ok so Stand Tall gives me BIG emotions.

( the colors are significant in some places, ( but you could understand the post without them. I think it’s obvious where they’re significant, but most of the time the purple is just to show that it’s lyrics. Every so often purple just means Julie specifically, blue for Luke, pink for Alex and red for Reggie, but if you’re not sure assume purple means lyrics)

The first thing that always gets me is Julie going on alone, still teary, voice a little shaky for a measure or two but she still goes out and pours her whole heart onto that stage.

Don’t blink. No, I don’t wanna miss it

Everything has just happened so fast. She lost her mom, she lost her passion for music for a while and then all of a sudden there’s three new important and confusing people in her life. Her friendships have changed, her crushes have changed, her whole world has flipped on its head. Suddenly her music is back too.

One thing and it’s back to the beginning.

Just as quickly as she gets the boys she’s thinks she’s lost them

Cause everything is rushing in fast

Keep going on never look back

And it’s one, two, three, four times

She wrote this song with the boys. This line is showing how important each member of the band is to everyone else. I would have looked to each of the boys as I counted if I were singing this song and it had gone as planned.

That I’ll try for one more night

Light a fire in my eyes

This is a decision to keep going, keep fighting. With or without the boys. FOR the boys.

I’m goin’ out of my mind.

Too much has happened at once

Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing

Ima stand tall

Ima stand tall

There’s a switch in her voice here, a sudden power. She is the last standing now, but she’s not going to let anything stop her. She knows the boys wouldn’t have let her and neither would her mom.

Whatever happens even when everything’s down

Ima stand tall

Ima stand tall

I gotta keep on dreaming

Cause I gotta catch that feeling

As someone who has sang and played music my entire life I can tell you that there is an emotion and a physical feeling that I can not possibly describe to you that comes with preforming.

Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing

Ima stand tall

Ima stand tall

There the feeling really hits her when she gets the reaction. She realizes that maybe she can do this.

And then Alex appears…

There’s a look in Alex’s eyes of, “ we would not have left you again.” A little smile of “ I’ve got you, just keep going”

Julie’s eyes LIGHT UP with pure unbridled hope. The tears come back in an instant because she could have done it alone, but she doesn’t have to.

And then Reggie appears too, she doesn’t have time to really react but she actually giggles a little, and the tears get bigger. Reg gives her this little smirk and he nods like, “ you’ve got it, we’ve got you. Just sing”

Right now I’m loving every minute

This song was written before but this line has a whole different feeling now than it was intended to. Originally this was, I’ve found my people, I’m back, they’re back and we’re going to take over the world. Now it’s a big feeling of, WE CAN DO THIS.

Hands down

Can’t let myself forget it, no

There a subtle defiance in that no

Cause everything is rushing in fast

Keep holding on never look back

And it’s one, two, three

Julie looks to Alex and Reggie here as Luke flickers and there’s fear in everyone’s eyes but still blinding hope in Julie’s

Four times

And we linger on Luke flickering

That I’ll try for one more night

Julie is not giving up on him.

Light a fire in my eyes

I’m goin out of my mind

Luke makes it here and it’s perfect and the look in everyone’s eyes is enough to send me into a fresh wave of tears

Whatever happens

Even if I'm the last standing

I'ma stand tall

I'ma stand tall

Whatever happens

Even when everything's down

I'ma stand tall

I'ma stand tall

I gotta keep on dreaming

'Cause I gotta catch that feeling

Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing

Ima stand tall

Ima stand tall

But now it’s back to it’s original meaning

There’s not a last standing this time

Like I’m glowing in the dark

And they all really are

I keep on going when it’s all falling apart

Yeah I know it with all my heart

Self explanatory

The oos make me giggle so much, it’s adorable and Reggie and Julie’s friendship could be a whole other giant post. Plus musically it gets me all jittery because it’s just so good.

Never look back

Alex’s chorus means a lot to me because he just stand up and does it without a second thought and I love the idea that this is him finally listening to Reggie the beginning “ can you just own your awesomeness for once?”

Reg takes his moment and there’s something about his power note there with the stand tall building with everyone there that really gets me worked up

Whatever happens

Even if I'm the last standing

I'ma stand tall

I'ma stand tall

Whatever happens

Even when everything's down

I'ma stand tall

I'ma stand tall

I gotta keep on dreaming

'Cause I gotta catch that feeling

And the final chorus with just everyone’s voices means a lot because they don’t need their instruments to be the band. They’re just themselves in that moment and its so powerful

Whatever happens

Even if I'm the last standing

I'ma stand tall

I'ma stand tall

Everyone’s faces as they’re taking in what they’ve just done is so wonderful and the way they all look at each other is so sweet

Alex grabbing Luke’s hand HURTS

Because there are so many ways it could be: 1. They’re celebrating, this is a Luke we did it

2. The way Luke doesn’t hesitate to take it tells me he may have done this before and this is simply Alex showing his excitement ( I could give a whole rant about these two too)

3. Anxiety

4. Adrenaline

5. ( you’re getting a ramble on fear responses wether you want it or not) but Alex’s automatic fear response almost every time we see him scared ( which is often) is to reach for Luke

And the two most heartbreaking options

6. Alex isn’t sure Luke is stable enough not to flicker before they can poof out after bows so he’s trying to tether him

7. Alex isn’t sure HE is stable enough not to flicker before they can poof out after bows so he’s trying to tether himself

And then the bows and the boys disappear like they always do and Julie knows it’s different but she’s still glowing with the excitement and power of their performance that she’s blissfully oblivious to what it really meant for the boys this time and I SOB THROUGH STAND TALL JUST AS HARD AS UNSAID EMILY EVERY SINGLE TIME for these reason.

The band after finding out they can be seen singing with Julie.

Reggie: Hey, are you okay

Alex: No, no, no, I’m fine, totally fine, fine, fine, fine, uh huh just fine, super fine.

Luke: You sure? ‘Cause you keep repeating your words, you’re pale and look like you’re about to pass out

Alex: Yeah you might have to catch me

Reggie my love

Once again, i miss him

[ginervacade]

Hey if anyone has pretty much anything they want to shove my way to write for Julie and the Phantoms I will actually marry you.

[sarkylittlemonster]

Her Royal Highness put everyone quite at their ease. A marvellous quality, don't you think? She spoke to you then, Sir?

[dickensianenglishbulldog]

Jeeves: “So you mean to say that you are the semi-childminder valet for your employer?”

Bunter: “Yes indeed! A delightfully loquacious employer?”

Jeeves: “Why yes, delightfully loquacious yet mentally negligable?”

Bunter: “Yes, a mental negligence that serves in fact as a front disguising a finely tuned mind and sensitive nerves?”

Jeeves: *mentally reviewing his time in Wooster’s service*:

“…”

Bunter: “Is that where we differ?”

Jeeves *thinking of The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy; The Ordeal of Young Tuppy; The Indian Summer of an Uncle; every entrance of Aunt Agatha; Aunt Dahlia as a whole; Claude and Eustus in general; drainpipes; swans and every second of time since he entered Bertie’s employment*:

“Yes Mr Bunter I do believe that that is where we differ.”

i analyse characters to such an absurd extent that i come up with things that the writers/creators/cast probably never even considered.

and guess what. i’m right.

[ljf613]

the past is gone oh, it went by like dusk to dawn isn't that the way?

dream on, dream on, dream on dream until your dreams come true

It's Sunday and I miss my favourite coppers

I love group pics/scenes. There's just something about them...

And also cause I miss my boys.

Morse and loneliness

Morse always sees himself as alone - perpetually lonely with no one to love him, nor even close friends. And while the younger Morse played by Shaun Evan’s certainly channels this, it is particularly pronounced about how John Thaw plays the older, more cynical Morse in IM. But is it really the truth?

The romantic love might have eluded him, but friendship? At a conservative estimate, he had Fred Thursday (in spirit if not in person post-Exeunt), Peter Jakes, Jim Strange, and Robbie Lewis as lifelong friends who would willingly lay down their lives for him (as he would for them). And it would probably be entirely fair to add Bright and McNutt to that count.

The more I watch Endeavour and IM, the more I feel that the only thing Morse actually struggled with was being a good boss. When he has to take Fancy under his wing in Endeavour, he is obviously completely unprepared for that role. And in IM, we really don’t get a feel for what sort of boss he would have been to a beginner because Lewis (already an experienced DS and a happily married man with kids he is devoted to when their paths first cross) is streets ahead of him from the get go when it comes to emotional maturity and balance.

I love him a normal amount

i think it's criminal how we didn't got the chance of more Reggie Peters. He's one of the most interesting characters for me, the little of information i get abt him everytime makes me want him back even more. It goes for his flirting attempts, his sudden bi panic, his inner cowboy, the way he justs likes being around Ray and Carlos just as he likes Julie, he's a family boy, a lover boy. he makes out w meatball subs bc he loves it. but other canon info about him (mostly from the books and jatp content om yt) is that he likes Dungeon and Dragons, plays the keyboard along w bass and he's a canonical thrift guy.

[ginervacade]

Why did we decide that Reggie blushes so easily? ( I am not complaining about it, it’s so so so cute)

Did I miss something in the show, I probably did but I don’t remember him blushing? Did we get that from Jeremy? Does he blush easily and I missed that too? I love it so much but I can’t figure out where it comes from.
