hi wil! i just started rewatching Next Gen with my friend, he’s never seen it, and i just wanted to say how fond my memories are of watching this show as a little kid and how much i loved wesley then and now. we’re on episode 5 of the first season and he just shouted “RIKER! WESLEY IS TRYING TO HELP YOU!” 😂

Aw, buddy. I love that so much.

do you think we’ll get a juke kiss or are we all setting ourselves up for heartache

HOPE BABE ILYSFM THANK YOU

okay so, this is an excellent question that I’ve casually seen a lot of ppl talk about but hadn’t fully paid attention too much of what they said. I think I should start with what I have seen ppl talk about, which is them being worried about Madison (Julie) being a minor and Charlie (Luke) being like 22 and not wanting her to have to be forced to kiss someone older if she doesn’t want to, especially since they’ve noted how she and Charlie would act all gross out by the thought (but I would also like to point out that they both are Team Juke and her dad is like Juke’s #1 fan.) However, from what I’ve see from Maddie and what she’s talked about, she always has her dad on set and her sister comes there a lot, and it seems like Kenny and the crew treat her really well and give her a great work environment. So it seems that she wouldn’t do anything that she would be uncomfortable with. After all, going back to what I said, she’s mentioned several times that she’s Team Juke and wants them to happen as well. Also, just like today or yesterday she posted (i think on her ig) about a gum (i think spearmint but don’t quote me on this) giving her great gum to help her in juke kissing scenes and she was gonna give it to charlie so that take as you will lol. Also, I think they all knew what they were getting into when they were casted (since they’re the main ship i can see them having a chemistry read with each other during auditions) since the Juke ship is pretty obviously a big ship in s1 (I mean they literally wrote Perfect Harmony and wanted Juke to have an epic Troy and Gabriella- eques dance and Charlie was the one who suggestion that Luke’s guitar sing to Julie so...). My conclusion? They’re both professional actors and I think they’d both be professional and okay with it, but if they’re not then I can see the show respect their wishes and do something for juke that is still natural and explores their epic romantic relationship, maybe even another epic song/dance.

Okay, now that that long explanation is out of the way, we’re gonna go with the idea that they’re both cool with it and go from there. 

Okay, tbh when I first saw the show and the final scene where they finally get to touch and they’re looking all loving into each other’s eyes with their hands placed all lovingly on each other’s faces, I totally thought that they were gonna kiss! (same goes with the last Willex scene). It makes sense that they didn’t tho since a lot was going on and Alex and Reggie were right there. But, what seems like their newfound abilities where Julie can now touch them (which means more hugs yay!!), they can actually kiss now. Yay! Which begs the question, what does this mean for their relationship since that’s now an option?

As a sidenote, tbh if it wasn’t for Luke dying bc of Caleb’s spell, i think that porch scene would’ve ended with them making their ‘interesting little relationship’ official since the episode started with Julie turning down Nick (her big crush that she had in the beginning of the season who she preseries seemed to be on crushing on forever and is an actual lifer like her) bc she didn’t think that it was fair to him since she had feelings for Luke even though she thought that nothing could happen bc of it. And then you see you her go to Luke’s parent’s house to give them Unsaid Emily bc she just wants to help him feel better bc she knows how badly that he’s hurting. And then the way he tries to hold her hand, forgetting for a moment that they can’t touch, but then says, “This is an interesting little relationship you and I have.” And they’re both so adorable looking at each other when the other isn’t looking. Also, when he said ‘there’s something I have to tell you” the way Julie was sorta standing up and down on her tippy toes and sorta looked like she was anticipating something, I feel like she was expecting Luke to officially say something about him liking her. I really think that without him dying and having to focus on trying to crossover, they might’ve started some sort of relationship even though it would’ve been different. (again she could’ve started one with Nick but refused bc she liked Luke). And that was when they couldn’t even touch. Although of course you can have a relationship without touching, from what we’ve seen between Julie and Luke, it looks like they craved each other’s touch i.e. all of her looks in Perfect Harmony and back to that porch scene where they forgot that they couldn’t touch and wanted to hold each other’s hands and the way that they looked at each other’s lips at the end of Edge of Great. So I think it’s save to say that they did wish that they could touch. 

Which leads me back to the end, where they can touch and don’t have to worry about him crossing over any time soon (since it looks like the boys will wanna stick around for a while and not look for their unfinished business anytime soon since they’d want to continue on their music career). So, with The Phantoms not going anywhere anytime soon, and all that had happened with Juke prior to that, I think it wouldn’t take long for them to try to start something, unless something stood between them. Which seems like caleb!nick could in fact put a wedge between them (especially since Nick was there to give her flowers and ‘fight for her’ as Caleb said). But even without that that wedge, I’m still kinda unsure of if Juke would officially admit their feelings to each other right after that night, or still kinda have it sorta linger in the air. 

Either way, whether they do get together pretty quickly or take their time bc of outside and internal obstacles (i.e. Nick and their own inner worries of not being sure if a lifer/ghost relationship would work) I think the show will take their time with a kiss. There’s a lot of Troyella parallels for Juke, and I can see them pull a troyella where we get almost kisses and but always get interrupted (i.e. HSM 2) up until A Big Epic Moment™ toward the end. I mean in a way, we already got something similar to that when they wanted to hold hands back in the porch scene but their hands went through bc he’s...you know...a ghost. So since we already had a scene in that similar vain, I can totally see that happening. Especially since this ship is already so agonizing like that. 

But back to your original point, I think (if the actors are okay with it ofc) we will get a kiss. Whether it’s s2 or another, I completely believe that we’re gonna get a kiss at some point. So I don’t think our hearst will break on that front (although that is valid concern given our track record with ships). However, there is also the big question of whether or not they end up together, since he is after all still a ghost (unless him and the boys become alive again at like the end which i really want to happen). But that’s a whole question for another post, and this is already super long. 

In conclusion, if the actors are okay with it, then I really think that we’re gonna get a Juke kiss (and hopefully Willex too), but I also think that they might torture us with it before it happens. 

Anyways, sorry this is so freaking long and probably doesn’t make any sense. But thank you so much Hope!! ILSYFM BABE and I absolutely LOVE talking Juke with you!! 

send me some fun asks

[funnefatale]

I just don't understand??? They spent 2B and 3A focused on building Jax up as more than Firestorm? I put up with SO MUCH bullshit this season because I was like "Jax's solo story is coming" and I was SO READY for it. And then??? He just left??? And Franz is just sitting around not working??? This makes no sense???

RANT ABOUT SHADO

FUCK OK

So here’s my two big things about Shado:

A) Why did they kill her off in such a bullshit manpain fashion when she was perfect and deserved better?

and B) WHY DOESN’T ANYONE ELSE TALK ABOUT HER???

but like also she was so interesting? she talks about the daodejing, which in large part focuses on a sort of “go with the flow” philosophy but that is very much not her approach to life. She fights, tooth and nail, to protect the people she loves and to get back to her home. She does not allow for evil to go unchallenged. She wanted to be a doctor!! She wanted to heal people! And she gave that up to come save her father. She did not choose to be abducted by Fyers but she did choose to come looking for Yao Fei.

Oliver was on the island because Malcolm Merlyn sabotaged the yacht. Slade was on the island because it was his job. Shado was on the island because she wanted to find her father, because of largely her own decisions. She had the most agency and investment in being there of the three of them. Shado had a more powerful and interesting story on the island than anyone and they just let it go!!! what the fuck!!!

And Shado clearly loved her family and held them in high regard. Why didn’t we get to see her with her sister? Or at least talk about her sister? She was family-oriented and beautiful and badass and she was ferocious even though she played at being calm. She fought and killed and taught Oliver to fight and kill even though she wanted to be a doctor and to heal people. She was a woman of contradictions and god she deserved so much better

also she 100% should’ve met nyssa and they should’ve been beautiful warrior gfs together

52. Favorite food? CHOCOLATE! Hehe, I’m eating some now.

60. Do you talk to yourself? All the freaking time! You know, talking to yourself is a sign of high intelligence.

98. Color of your room? See for yourself...

(BTW, it looks WAY different now. Like, there are pillows on the bed, the TV is on top of the wine rack, there’s a bookshelf where the TV used to be, and I also have a cute little fish tank. Oh, and there are green and white curtains covering the windows.)

@hcourageous replied to your post “elena: can we agree if there is a God, it’s gender-neutral, not a he...”

i have no idea what youre watching but oh my god

it’s netflix newest show ‘one day at a time’. best sitcom i’ve seen since brooklyn 99. like many jokes but none of them offensive and like 90% of time it’s some kind of social criticism. also, they deconstruct gender roles so much i cry. like the older sister is a feminist tomboy while the little brother is the sporty guy that labels himself as pretty and cute. the best scene i’ve seen in the first 6 episodes was the one that it was the mother who taught the boy to shave because she shaved her mustache too.

i just really love this show.
