What in the good grief is Julie and the Phantoms about? Are there ghosts?? I think there are?? Help

I hope this helped you to understand the most Wholesome Content Ever Produced that is Julie and the Himbos Phantoms

(Image Description below the cut)

[Start Image Descriptions]

A ten image slideshow describing different characters and elements of the show ‘Julie and the Phantoms’

1) Title slide with text that reads ‘Julie and the Phantoms! What the fuck is it about! Singing? Ghosts?? Himbos??? Singing Ghost Himbos????‘ Surrounding the text are images of the main characters singing together.

2) Slide titled ‘Okay so to start off: This is Julie Molina’ There are four images of Julie, a puerto rican teenager with long curly hair. She is shown singing in a variety of colorful outfits. The text on the slide is a list which reads:

She’s the best

Also the prettiest

Fashion Sense out of this world

Controls the braincell 100% of the time

A kickass  singer

Look at her she’s great you love her yes you do

Not a ghost she’s a high school student

She’s doesn’t want to do high school, she just wants to sing. And she’s valid because she is very good at singing. If only she had a band of emotional support himbos to sing with. Oh, woe.

3) Slide titled ‘Wait!! This is Flynn, aka emergency brain cell holder‘ There are three images of Julie’s best friend Flynn, a black teenager with very long hair in tight box braids. In the images she is shown DJing, talking to Julie and listening to a song Julie wrote for her. The text on the slide reads:

She’s Julie’s best friend

Very good at her job

Also a DJ

Also very good at this

Just generally a 10 unafraid to call other 10s out when they’re dumb

Deserves to be canonized for putting up with just literally so much

She is mostly important because her friendship with Julie is one of the emotional rocks of the show and I think that’s just really important

4) Slide titled ‘This is Alex, Luke, and Reggie‘ There are three images of Alex, Luke, and Reggie in a variety of silly poses or making silly faces. Alex is a white teenager with medium blond hair and blue eyes whose fashion sense consists mostly of a torn jean jacket and pink hoodie with jeans. Reggie is a white teen with slicked back dark hair and eyes dressed in a typical punk outfit, black leather jacket and jeans, and red and black plaid shirt. Luke is a white teenager with mid length brown hair and eyes dressed in sleeveless shirts and jeans. The text on the slide reads:

Oh look, a band made entirely of emotional support himbos

Not a single brain cell between them

Director saw the 2016 Ghostbusters and went ‘Chris Hemsworth’s character but three of them’

They died because they ate bad hot dogs on the night they     were supposed to play a gig that was going to change their lives and then came back as ghosts bc they have unfinished business

They’re so dumb oh my god they’re so dumb

The capacity for love between these three and Julie is literally the most wholesome thing in contemporary media no I will not be taking criticism on this

5) Slide titled ‘Alex gets his own slide because I love him‘. On the slide are images of Alex signing and playing the drums, dancing, and having a serious conversation with his love interest Willie, who is a teenager with mid-tone brown skin and long black hair tied up in a bun. Alex is dressed in his customary jean jacket and pink hoodie. Text on the slide reads:

One thought and it is ‘Gay’

Alex cried for twenty five years while the band was in limbo 

Correction two thoughts ‘Gay’ and ‘Anxious’

Purest ray of sunshine

I would steal his jean jacket but then he would be sad and that is illegal

Loves his skater boyfriend a lot

‘Willie and I? - Well I wouldn’t call it magic but I mean...’

He’s so dumb I love him a normal amount

6) Slide titled ‘Reggie also gets his own slide because I love him too‘ On the slide are images of Reggie singing and playing the electric guitar, smiling, and dancing. He is wearing a variation of his black leather jacket with red and black plaid and black jeans. Text on the slide reads:

Zero thoughts not a single one

Put all his stat points into pop-punk fashion

Is doing a great job

You know that one friend who everyone wonders how they make it out of their house in the morning without detailed instructions

My most precious son

Brain probably just a Paramore song on repeat

7) Slide titled ‘Luke gets his own slide otherwise Laynie will block me‘ On the slide are images of Luke singing and playing the electric guitar, smiling, and looking confused. He is wearing a variety of sleeveless jacket and t shirt combinations with rock band logos on the tshirts. Text on the slide reads:

The gender envy of lesbians everywhere

Thinks Julie Molina is the best person in the world (and he’s right)

Wrote a sad song once it was very sad many feelings eyes full of tears we all cried

Guns are out whether or not the sun is out

Pure of heart dumb of everywhere

Looks like he would be the token straight except there are none of those in this show

8) Slide titled ‘Willie‘ with five hearts in rainbow colors after his name. Images on the slide are of Willie with a skateboard and helmet, in a stylized tux looking fondly at Alex, and two additional images looking off camera. Text on the slide reads:

Alex’s ghost boyfriend

Chaotic child let loose on the streets of LA

A perfect angel, his idea of a good time is harassing cops

Just generally a sweetheart whom I love with my whole being

Holding out for a himbo

Helps his himbo boyfriend through his panic attacks

Sometimes screaming in a museum is something that can be so personal

Only nice things happen to Willie

Gentle reminder I would die and/or kill for Willie

9) Slide titled: ‘But wait is there a plot what’s going on’ There are two images, one of Reggie, Luke, and Alex eating hot dogs on a ratty couch and one of them standing behind Julie as she plays the piano backlit by the sunset in a sunroom filled with plants. Text on the slide reads:

25 years ago a band named Sunset Curve was set to become the next big thing. Just before their breakout show, three of the members die from a bad pre-show meal and spend the next 25 years trying to figure out how to leave a bad Yelp review from limbo. 

Himbos in limbo, if you will.

Enter Julie, who lives in the house the band used to rehearse in. Julie is struggling to find her passion for music again after her mother’s death, until one night she summons our three favorite emotional support himbos by listening to an old CD of theirs. 

Shenanigans ensue and everyone is dumb. Luke Alex and Reggie are trying to figure out what their unfinished business is as Julie navigates healing, friendships with ghosts, and trying to be a star. 

 10) Slide titled ‘Why you should watch JATP‘ There are two images on the slide, on of Luke singing and one of Julie and Flynn smiling snarkily. Text on the slide reads:

Seriously did you pay attention to slides 1-8 look at everyone

It’s directed by Kenny Ortega who directed Newsies and like other things(he did High School Musical and Descendants but like the most important thing is he directed Newsies)

Also the music fucking slaps like it’s actually really good

Even though it’s technically a kids show there’s like?? Some really touching pltolines but also it’s so dumb the guys die from eating hot dogs for fuck’s sake

Literally the most wholesome thing that has ever been made

Basically it’s a stupid fun show that is mostly lighthearted but also has some *kickass* catharsis and really intricately thought out characters that skirt the line between being so dumb I literally shrieked but also real enough that their problems seemed real.

Chapter 1: Visitations

Someone recently asked the tag if Sander and Robbe stayed together forever. Here’s a fic giving you the answer. Thanks for the inspiration.

Read the rest on Ao3.

Autumn always brought along rich tones of vanilla, cinnamon and all-spice into Robbe’s landscape. Robbe loved the autumn colors, shades of sun-burnt orange, vermillion and chartreuse sprinkle across the leaves that littered the pavement on his route to work. Its like he could taste the change of seasons ahead but it also gave him cause for concern. A visitation session was surely on the horizon. Sander was like a rolex watch when it came to anything Bowie related. Robbe was sure that cat was the love of Sander’s life. He found Bowie abandoned on the streets of Antwerp as a kitten and saved him from certain death. Robbe can still recall the day he came through the door with something nuzzled inside his leather jacket.

“Sander, we can’t keep it.” Robbe retorted as Sander gently cradled the kitty against his chest rocking it back and forth. “We just got this apartment I don’t even know if were allowed pets. I’m slammed at university, your never here, and your always at work or at the studio”.

Robbe knew this discussion was pointless. Sander just kept pouting at all of Robbe’s logical reasoning, flashing his puppy dog eyes at him and holding up the tiny kitten to Robbe’s face as a defense. Robbe just rolled his eyes and threw his hands up in defeat.  

“Ugh… okay …. Fine. God I hate you sometimes Driesen.”

“Love you too” Sander replied, pressing a soft kiss on Robbe’s jawline with a victorious smile plastered across his face.

“So, what are we going to name it?” Robbe asked looking down at the tiny creature who was literally the size of Sander’s palm.

Sander frowned. He almost looked offended by Robbe’s question.

“Bowie, of course. I mean his all black with a white lightening bolt on his belly. He's obviously a Bowie.”

Robbe found Sander’s response endearing. So much so he didn’t have the heart to tell him that that white striped looked nothing like a lightning bolt but he went with it anyways.

“Bowie, it is.” Robbe said as he leaned into Sander’s chest to pet the tiny kitten. Sander immediately cautioning him before he even laid a hand on the cat.

“Go slow, his sensitive okay”. Robbe couldn’t help but smile at his boyfriend’s protective reflexes.

There it was. The text Robbe had been dreading since the animal clinic called him earlier in the week to confirm Bowie’s appointment.

Taking Bowie to the vet on Saturday. I should get to Brussels around 7 tonight. Does that work for you? - Sander

7 works. - Robbe

Robbe grunted and slid down his desk chair.

“What��s up with you?” Lia asked.

“Oh nothing” Robbe quickly perked up and sat up on his chair. He didn’t want to be caught sulking at work.

“Do you think you can have the club estimation ready for next Wednesday?” Lia asked.

Robbe was the youngest architect at his firm. So he always felt like he was slightly faking it or suffering from imposter syndrome. He had only just completed his certification and was lucky enough that the firm he apprenticed at for two years offered him a full time job upon graduation.

Lia was the second youngest she had graduated a year earlier. They spent a lot of time together dealing with all the young trendy clients who wanted to do renovations on shoestring budgets.

“What time is it?” Lia asked Robbe.

“Half past 5” Robbe shouted back.

“On a Friday” Lia scoffed. “Let’s get out of here. I need a drink after this week.”

Robbe nodded his head towards the door and both of them sprung up off their chairs collecting their paperwork and turning off their computers.

Robbe began to take off his shirt and tie exposing his black tshirt underneath. He hated his nine to five attire but the firm had a strict dress code policy. Shirt and trousers.

“I hate this tie” Robbe grunted loudly as he forcefully ripped it off himself.

“Well you wouldn’t have to wear it if you weren’t so damn cool” Lia teased him.

“Firstly Thibaut is over exaggerating they are not neck tattoos. You can barely see them.” Robbe dramatically threw his hands up.

“I mean you can totally see them…..what are they again?” Lia asked sarcastically.

“Shut up” Robbe started pushing Lia towards the door.

Grabbing his black jacket and man bag off the coat rack on the other side of the office practically skipping towards Lia who was leaning against the door frame waiting for Robbe to hurry up.

As he got to her she held her hand against his chest examining the three tiny icons placed directly at the bottom of his throat underneath his adams apple.

“A lightning bolt, a half moon and….”

Robbe finished her sentence for her “ The other half of a ying yang. The white half.”

“How hipster of you” Lia said curiously.

“I guess, or better yet the mistakes of a misspent youth.” Robbe smugly replied.

“Misspent youth???” Lia laughed out. “Robbe your only twenty five”.

Robbe rolled his eyes he felt like he was thirty five sometimes. “Almost twenty six for your information. Come on now, I need a beer” he grabbed onto Lia’s hand and started dragging her out the door.

“We aren’t going to Belgica?” Lia shouted back to him as they walked down the street.

“Why not?” Robbed asked confused.

“Because your too pretty for your own good Robbe and we spend half the night fighting off every gay boy in there trying to get your attention.”

“Stop it Lia.”

“It’s true Robbe. You got that whole rebel rebel graduated up skater boy vibe and that damn mop of hair. Your like a billboard for shampoo or something. Plus your single.”

Robbe was blushing. Lia was too sweet she always made him feel special in her own teasing way. She was like the big sister he never had.

“Ok you choose” Robbe surrender.

“Noir it is” Lia responded.

Robbe looked at his phone and checked the time 5:42.

Robbe liked Lia but he didn’t want her privy to his messy love life. She had already lived through Robbe and Lucas’s break up.

Did she really need to know anymore about him.

Robbe paused for a moment and thought fuck it.

Meet me at Bar Noir at 7. -Robbe

********************************************************************************

As Robbe reached over the sink to grab some paper towels he simultaneously ran his right hand through his hair and looked up into the mirror. His eyes inadvertently darted towards the text peeking out underneath the sleeve of his tshirt. He inhaled sharply vividly recalling the memory of his nineteen year self play fighting with Sander because he wanted to see it.

“Show me,I know you got another one” Sander walked around his boyfriend inspecting Robbe’s body contemplating which part of him to undress first. As he slowly began tugging at his hoodie a huge cheshire grin appeared across Robbe’s face.

“Got him” Sander thought. He finally managed to get Robbe’s hoodie off when he saw the cling film wrapped around Robbe’s right bicep. Sander grabbed Robbe’s right wrist turning it upwards to face him and lifting it slightly to uncover the text on Robbe’s inner arm. It was a simple three word phrase but it was “their” phrase and what Robbe repeated to Sander when things got overwhelming for him. In a slightly hushed voice Sander read the phrase out loud “minuut per minuut”.

Robbe broke out of his daze. Pulling himself out of the memory.

Robbe headed back out the bathroom into the boisterous Friday night afterwork bar crowd.

Another shot of whiskey? Lia shouted from the bar.

“No,no” Robbe was signaling to her. He wanted to make sure he was somewhat sober for his impending meet up with Sander. They hadn’t seen one another since Chernobyl at the beginning of the summer.

Robbe snaked through the crowd till he reached Lia at the bar. They stood shoulder to shoulder as she knocked back her shot and chased it down with some beer.

“You should know my ex is probably going to show up here any minute now”. Robbe swiftly mentioned.

“You and Lucas are talking again?” Lia said with optimism in her voice.

Robbe quickly broke eye contact and shook his head. It still stung to hear Lucas’s name. It had been a few months but everything was still a bit raw for him.

“No the other one.” Lia instantly scowled at Robbe’s omission.

Robbe jokingly tapped her shoulder with the back of his hand as they walked towards a bar table with their beers in hand “come on don’t do that… you don’t even know him”.

“I don't need to know him, I know his type.” Lia shouted over the crowd as she scooted herself onto a bar stool.

“Extremely good looking” Robbe acknowledged that as Lia counted Sander’s qualities off with her fingers.  

“Mysterious but in that deeply troubled kind of way” Lia formed a peace sign with her hands at her second observation.

“Mindblowing sex” Lia held three fingers up towards Robbe’s face now.

“Oh and let me guess” Lia leaned into Robbe’s face real closely. “He broke up with you?”

Robbe chuckled “You know me too well Lia”.

“No I don’t. Like I said I know the type” She stated as she chugged down more of her beer.

“Speak of the devil”. Robbe gestured towards the door.

Lia looked up wide eye. Robbe was used to this reaction. Years of seeing others getting enamored by Sander’s beauty.

His lunar white hair a relic of the past. Sander was a brunette now. His natural copper tone brown hair framed his perfectly chiseled face. A jawline for days.

“Oh now I get it. I would have chernobyl(d) with him too”. Lia said a little too enthusiastically never taking her eyes off Sander as he spotted Robbe and started walking over to them.

Lia broke her gaze and quickly looked up and down Robbe’s body. “So what is your dick made out of gold or something” Lia questioned Robbe.

Robbe scoffed. “What”

“I mean you obviously attract a type. Smoking hot with pretty eyes” leaning her body slightly towards Robbe and opening her hand up like she was begging for Robbe to tell her his secret.

Sander reached their table.

Lia let out a barely audible “God I wish my exes looked like yours” as she raised her glass of beer to her mouth.

“Hey” Sander said as he took off his leather jacket exposing his arms covered in intricate tattoos sliding onto the opposing bar stool across from Robbe. The table was one of those cylinder bar tops that had Robbe and Sander awkwardly rubbing shoulder to shoulder both looking strait on towards Lia.

Sander looked at Robbe for a second too long waiting for him to introduce him to his friend.

Robbe’s mind finally caught up with his manners.

“Lia this is Sander, Sander this is Lia. We work together.” Sander reached out to shake Lia‘s hand.

“Nice to meet you” Sander responded.

“We’re just going to finish up our drinks and then we can head out” Robbe explained to Sander.

“Yeah that's fine. Gives me time to roll” as he pulled out rolling paper out of his back pocket and placed it on the bar table.

“How was the driv...?” unbeknownst to Robbe, Lia abruptly cut him out of his own conversation. “You drove here?” she questioned Sander. Sander nodded. Her eager curiosity getting the best of her. “Where from?”

“Antwerp, I live there” Sander responded flaty. He could tell Robbe’s friend was a little curious about him. God knows what Robbe had told her about him.

“What are you doing in Brussels?” Lia questioned some more.

Sander attempting to look busy as he rolled a joint.

Sander hated people trying to figure him out. He was the private type didn't like to give strangers to many details about himself but this was Robbe’s friend so he had to play nice.

Sander rested his right forearm against the table as he sprinkle tobacco onto the rolling paper.

That’s when he noticed Robbe’s friend attentively examining the tattoo on his wrist.

“It's a constellations.” Sander responded in a curt tone.

“Yeah I know what it is” Lia explained. “I see it everyday. It's the same one Robbe has on his wrist right?”

Robbe’s eyes found Sander’s. Sander smirked back at him.

Robbe suddenly turning red at Lia’s discovery.

Sander finished rolling his joint licking it together. When he shifted his body towards Lia.

Robbe thought to himself “here we go”. He had seen this typical Sander performance before fueled with charm and bravato.

“Yeah it's one of mine” Sander shot a flirty smile at Lia as he stuck the joint behind his ear.

“I mean the design of course, not the person.” Sander winked making Lia giggle like a teenage girl.

Sander leaned straight into her personal space. Making her slightly pull back. Sander was making her nervous.

“If your interested I have a tattoo shop in Antwerp I could ink you sometime. You can get this exact tattoo or something personalized from me to you.”

Sander slowly pulled away from Lia’s orbit leaving her slightly flushed.

Robbe chuckled a little to loudly. Sander shot him a boyish grin in return. Well aware that Robbe knew what game he was playing.

Robbe found these exchanges very amusing. It took Sander a mere 5 minutes to get his coworker from denouncing him to having her completely giddy and wrapped around his little finger.

When Robbe was younger these interactions use to really bother him. Make him feel insecure like Sander could get anyone he wanted what was he doing with Robbe.

But now it was just amusing to Robbe. It solidified what Robbe already knew which was no one really knew the real Sander. What Lia was seeing now was Sander peacocking at his best.

Lia broke out of her spell as she fumbled through her words a little and stated. “I think I want something custom. It’d be weird if we all had identical tattoo’s?”

“Oh there not identical” Sander stated as he grabbed Robbe’s beer off the table and took a large gulp into his mouth. Robbe gawked at him unimpressed.

Can you spot the difference? Sander suddenly took a hold of Robbe’s hand and slammed both their forearms onto the table towards Lia direction.

Robbe’s coworker leaned in super closely to examine their forearms as their hands were clasped together.

It didn’t take long for Lia to uncover what made each tattoo unique. Each forearm had a perfectly placed red planet in the middle of it (maybe Mars) with an orbital belt surrounding it. There was a moon and stars and another distance planet in the background(maybe Saturn). There was one thing that looked out of place but also really beautiful. A large blossoming tree was growing out of the large center planet. There was also some cursive text placed horizontally on both Robbe and Sander’s wrist. Lia recited the text from left to right it started from Robbe wrist “All the way” and ended on Sander’s wrist “or no way”.

Lia's brow furrowed. As she looked at both males. “I don’t get it, what does it mean?”

Sander finally spoke up locking Robbe into his glare as the words slowly dripped out of his mouth. “All the way or no way”.

Robbe let go of Sander’s hand almost violently and spoke. It felt like he had kept quiet throughout Lia and Sander’s entire conversation. Like he just disappeared for a moment.

Robbe shot Lia a calculated smile.

“It doesn’t mean anything. Just something we use to say to one another when we were younger.”

Robbe began to get up and collect his jacket. Obviously implying that this little meetup was now over. It surprised Lia, Robbe was never this brash, almost rude. Lia was about to make some silly joke about ruining the night when Robbe sensed it and he did something he only ever did with clients. He gave Lia one of his stand down asshole smirks that halted anymore conversation. That let their clients know that negotiations were now over and this transaction had come to a close.

Lia scanned Sander’s face for some explanation. She saw a hint of reaction towards Robbe sudden harsh change in demeanor but it amused him. He seemed to like it.

Robbe finished putting his jacket on and soften again leaning into Lia to give her a kiss on the cheek and bid her good night. Flashing that calculated smile at her again.

He glanced back at Sander. He hadn’t moved.

“Get your jacket” Robbe demanded.

Sander began to get up and collect his things. Never breaking eye contact with Robbe a dark tonality hidden behind his eyes.

Lia was so confused. It’s like these two were speaking some unknown language only they understood but it was so strange. Lia knew Robbe but she rarely saw this side of him. It was slightly distance, spikey, but confident almost captivating. Its like this sweet, thoughtful and warm human morphed into someone else in front of her eyes but she couldn’t explain what he morphed into.

She wasn’t sure what she was looking at.

“Text me when you get home” Robbe whispered into her ear as he gave her one final kiss good night and walked towards the exit never looking back at Sander to check if he was coming with him.

Sander leaned in towards Lia giving her a kiss goodnight. Perfectly placing it a little too close to her mouth. It gave her butterflies she could almost taste him as he pulled back.

Lia's eyes followed him towards the door.

She sat there bewildered, puzzled, thinking to herself.

What was that? or better yet, who was that? and she wasn’t talking about Sander.

Are they an early bird or a night owl ? night owl!

How tidy is their room ? it’s surprisingly tidy. dodger himself is a mess so you’d assume his room would be also but it’s actually rather neat and put together. partially because if he ever wanted/had to leave, he’d know where everything is, so it’s kind of neat out of habit.

FAVORITES.

What’s their favorite color ? red, black, purple, blue.

Favorite movie ? Grease.

Music Genre ? ‘80s music & musicals

Ice Cream Flavor ? mint!

Indoors or outdoors ? both? both. both is good.

07.06.2017 Gara (MERRY) 第二回 自作自演 @ Tokyo Kinema Club [Part One]

Part one - Gara’s Living Funeral

Part two - Asada Heaven

I went to both of Gara’s birthday events in Tokyo! Both events had a different theme. Here’s my report/thoughts on set one, 「ガラ生前葬」(Gara’s Living Funeral). 

What is this event

We got invitations to this event at Yaon back in May. The invitations/his blog posts etc. said that he heard living funerals will lengthen the person’s life, and that’s something that he of all people needs. He asked us to wear bright clothes and have bright feelings in our hearts. 

There were three separate seating types. First was family member seating on the first floor. Then mistress seating which was a single row of seats on the second floor (where I was). Finally there was normal seating behind the family on the first floor. He asked mistresses to wear flashy clothes and lots of perfume. I DID MY BEST.

Both events were at Tokyo Kinema Club in Ueno which is one of my favorite venues! The building was originally a Taisho era cabaret club but was eventually repurposed into a livehouse/event space. The atmosphere inside is still 100% retro cabaret. The vibe is really cool and perfect for this kind of event.

We were all given a rosette which he asked us to wear, too.

From Yuu’s twitter, the very interesting seating signs...

There was a funeral altar set up on stage with offerings like fruit etc. and also two bottles of Coca Cola and two cans of beer. Of course. I actually saw a staff member coming back from the conbini nearby while I was waiting for merch with the two Coke bottles lol. Anyway, projected on the screen for the entire event was a big portrait style photo of Gara in a frame.

Photo from his blog of the balcony area and the very dramatic lighting...

All entrances/exits were made from a mini balcony area with stairs leading down to the left side of the stage. There was a woman’s voice announcing the beginning of each part of the event. When it started Gara walked out onto the balcony and bowed. He was wearing the same white suit and hat from Shiroi Hitsuji last November but with a different tie maybe? He walked on stage and turned to look at the giant photo of himself. He talked to us a little about how going through the process of planning an event like this really made him think about things. He had a binder that he kept looking through.

He asked us all to stay with him until the end, and that he would memorize all of our faces tonight.

Ceremony and offerings...

Next up was a Buddhist monk who came on stage. He sat in front of the altar and started the ceremony with chanting/ringing bells. After a while Gara signaled to start the next part of the event which was… giving him offerings personally! The monk continued chanting the entire time.

He jumped off stage and stood there while the first floor audience slowly stood row by row and presented him with offerings and shook his hand. The whole process took about 20-30 minutes and by the end he had amassed enough gifts and letters to completely fill several tables. He looked really happy the whole time, and especially at the end, where he must have realized just how much stuff he got lol. He was very kind and smiled as he shook everyone’s hand.

Once everyone on the first floor had gone up to him and the monk had finished chanting, he talked a little bit about how he’d have to see the mistresses later, it wouldn’t be good if he went to talk to us then… So instead he talked to the monk. He introduced him as someone who he’s known since he was very young from his hometown who has helped him a lot.  He also said that a lot of us don’t know the proper traditions at funerals but since he has this monk as a friend he can ask him questions about things like this. He then recommended that we all befriend a monk lol. He tried to get him to talk but the offer was noooot accepted haha. The monk left and we all clapped.

Video messages??

The next segment was supposed to be video messages from his friends. He didn’t know who was going to show up, so he sat down and watched the videos with us. I can’t remember everyone, but basically, every person who was announced was really famous and with no connections to Gara (Tomoyasu Hotei, a baseball player, SMAP…) and the people in the video were just pretending to be those celebrities. He seemed pretty surprised and was laughing the whole time but also sounded like he was really looking forward to videos from his real friends lol.

NERO ARRIVES and we all cry together

Then we had a eulogy read by a special guest… Nero!!

I saw Nero earlier that day when I was standing in line for merch. He just walked right past and waved to us and went inside. Real chill.

He was wearing a suit, but something about it looked a little more salaryman than funeral haha. He looked really great though. He came on stage and stood facing the screen while he read his speech, after bowing to everyone multiple times. He and Gara bowed to each other and it was really cute lol.

Gara stood off to the side watching. Throughout the speech Nero kept looking over at Gara trying to get a reaction but Gara wasn’t giving him anything. At one point Nero looked at Gara, then looked over his shoulder at us and grinned. His speech started out very lighthearted and kind of teasing. He said Gara used to always bully/tease him and told some story about Gara having him call a certain number instead of directly talking to him… I don’t really understand the way Nero talks sometimes, but it was basically just poking at Gara for how much he teases him lol.

After that his speech got more serious. He talked about how much he respects Gara and how thankful he is to be in a band under his leadership. I think this was the moment in the event that felt the most like a funeral. It was really heartfelt. Gara actually started crying and had to pick up his towel off the ground to wipe his eyes and nose. For the rest of the speech he stood with his head tilted up looking up at the ceiling. It was a really emotional moment for everyone. At the end Nero gave a little plug for Merry’s upcoming album and tour, added some “zenshin zenrei!!” and then bowed to literally everyone again before running up the stairs to the balcony and leaving.

At this point there was an intermission. I was waiting up on the second floor when I saw Tetsu walk in with another guy. They stood behind me for a little while and then sat at a table behind me. I heard Tetsu talking about Kenichi and why he wasn’t able to make it. It was a kind of crazy feeling to know he was right behind me just chillin lol.

Acoustic time with Yuu

Then we had the last part of the event – a short acoustic live with Yuu. Yuu came on stage in his usual, more casual style suit with a tshirt underneath. He brought out a cake, too. At first Gara acted really shocked and was saying what???? You bring out a cake NOW??? And motioned to the altar and everything lol. Yuu told him he was sorry that the candles weren’t lit because they couldn’t have open flames in the venue etc. etc. and kind of hesitantly handed it over, but Gara immediately took it and started saying how it was OKAY!! He could see the FLAMES!! We sang to him and he pretended to blow the candles out. It was adorable lol. He switches back and forth between acting uninterested and being SUPER caring lol

Setlist

The setlist was three Merry songs and three covers (w/ links for your listening enjoyment), as follows:

01.   喝采（ちあきなおみ）(Kassai, Chiaki Naomi) 

02.   アタシは捨て猫 (Atashi wa suteneko)

03.   時代（中島みゆき）(Jidai, Nakajima Miyuki) 

04.   ザァーザァー (Zaa zaa)

05.   COOKIE（尾崎豊）(Ozaki Yutaka) 

06.   SWAN

Yuu chose the setlist out of songs that Gara liked. And Gara was right, the mood was preeeetty dark. I was honestly really struck by how emotional each song was. I absolutely love Gara and Yuu’s Shinjuku Blues style performances.

They actually talked about Shinjuku Blues a little. Gara mentioned something about calling it Uguisudani Blues this time instead. He asked Yuu what they called it when they performed on the street in Sapporo... and Yuu very flatly replied, “Shinjuku Blues” lol

The way Gara sang Kassai was really, really beautiful. The song is from the point of view of a singer who reflects on receiving the news of someone’s passing. I didn’t know the song before, but the first line got me. It’s something like “The curtain rises as always and I’m singing love songs. The news that arrived had a black border” (a funeral invitation). I think if you listen to the song you’ll understand, but there were parts that Gara put extra stress on and it was really striking. I briefly looked up the history of the song, and it looks like someone other than Chiaki Naomi wrote the lyrics without knowing anything about her. But still, the lyrics ended up being incredibly relevant to her own life, to the point that she first refused to sing it because it was too painful.

Then we had atashi wa suteneko. I think everyone was really there to hear Merry songs, and of course I loved hearing them, but I’m weak for Showa sadness too lol. The “S.O.S” ending of this song stuck out to me. I think in the recording you get this impression too, but on that night everything was a little slower and he really sounded like he was calling out for help.

Gara introduced the next song, Jidai, as one that was special to him. It’s a song about dealing with difficult times and knowing that someday in the future you’ll be able to look back on it and smile. The first chorus is like “time goes round and round, the cycle of happiness and sadness repeats, lovers who separated today will be reunited again in the next life”. It’s honestly a really, really sad song, and the way he sang the chorus just shattered your heart. It seemed very important to him because at one point he actually started tearing up. It didn’t come through in his voice though. It’s a beautiful song but just a little too sad for me to handle…

Then they played Zaa zaa, which Gara wrote for Daisuke of Kagerou. Before the song started Gara mentioned that usually Merry is on tour around this time of year so he’ll sing this song, but this year they’re working on an album, so he decided to sing it here instead. I think everyone in the venue was very deeply touched. I personally hadn’t realized just how serious some of this event would be.

The next song was another cover, COOKIE by Ozaki Yutaka. He was an incredibly popular musician who died very young.

For this song Gara played guitar!! The guitar he’s been using is actually one he borrowed from Kiyoharu when he started teaching him how to play. He really came to like it so… he hasn’t exactly returned it yet lol. He said he hopes that someday his profile for Merry can change to Gara – vocals & guitar. Yuu said maybe it’s a little too early for that lol. But that maybe Gara could play guitar during Merry’s next tour. Alone. Gara seemed a little surprised by this lol. He also spent a while getting ready to start playing and eventually Yuu finally asked if he was ready lol. Yuu did say he has a good sense of rhythm so he picks up on this stuff quickly.

Another photo from his blog from the day before

I linked to a performance of this song, but I think the tone was really different acoustic. The way Gara sang felt very gentle, especially in the chorus. “Hey, my sweetheart, bake cookies for me...” It really contrasts to the more serious tone of the rest of the song. It was definitely a song he likes a lot and it showed. I don’t really know how else to describe his guitar/vocals other than incredibly soft and gentle.  And if you’ll EXCUSE ME for just a moment, I think I fell REAL hard during this song lol. I arrived at a new level of 浅田地獄 

The last song was SWAN. He introduced it as a song that he hadn’t sang in a long time. Can you like. Feel the vibe of this show. Every single song just broke my heart into tinier pieces. He was especially emotion during this song and I think he really conveyed longing? Something about this performance made me really ~get~ this song if that makes any sense...

On a lighter note, during one of these last songs he unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt so I have now seen sad stripping Gara twice lmao. Except this time was because it was actually hot. The other time was just… him being him.

And that was it! Yuu left first. Gara thanked us for coming and said he’d come to see the mistresses a little later. So we waited around for a little while until he showed up in the doorway. We all got to shake his hand on our way out. When he saw me he opened his arms and said 愛人～♪ (mistress/lover~) with this big smile. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life tbqh. I was VERY pleased to get a genuine smile before I even did anything haha. I only had the time to say a couple things and then wished him a happy birthday in English which totally threw him off and he kind of laughed and smiled. I love that sometimes he’ll shake your hand with both of his too. He’s so sweet?????? I hope he had the best birthday ever?????????????? I’m not this strong of a person someone help me

AND THUS ended part one…

I ran off to my hotel and got changed really quick because the vibe of set two was the COMPLETE opposite of set one. Next post will also include the very interesting goods lol

And since I was very happy with my outfit, here was my attempt at a Tokyo Kinema Club style mistress + lots of perfume...

As you can probably tell I had a REAL good time 💃��

[prevsapphism]

i.graine + small talk! like / reply if you read and wna interact w modern!ig/raine because this is like Vital to her modern verse.

igraine got the idea for small talk when she was in her late teens and realised she ‘cldnt make a career out of painting’ because her work wld almost never b consistent, and inconsistency is rlly bad for igraine. and also this stigma that ‘’’’’artists starved’’’’ or whatever. 

so her idea was to create somewhere where artists cld hang out and create art and make small talk in a safe, warm, friendly environment. 

which brings me to the next point. its name, small talk arts centre, came from when igraine was trying to name her Vision so that graeme wld go through w it and bankroll them. they realised that whenever she described their project to other ppl, they always said the same thing: ‘somewhere where artists can hang out and make small talk.’ small talk arts centre sounded cute and catchy so it stuck :,)

the building was actually given to igraine as a belated birthday present in august of 1991.

 it was an old cafe building that was down on its luck in downtown portland. graeme pretty much only agreed because he ‘loved’ his wife ( read: he wanted them to shut up ) and it was rlly cheap because it was going out of business. 

it was very slow going at first....

‘small talk in 1991 was nowhere near the artistic hub it is now ; bustling, cosy, seemingly alive. it was sleepy and esoteric, known only amongst portlands art students and struggling local artists looking for ig.raines loving enthusiasm and free use of paintbrushes, coloured pencils and charcoal. 

but it soon blossomed under igraines care and drive. it was one of the most popular artists hangouts on the west coast by 1998.

from the outside, small talk looks like this, and im gna transpose copy and paste my tags on that photo into text for more description:

the bldg w the blue trim in that photo is literally what small talk looks like from the outside, although the trim is carmine-red. it has old fashioned storefront style letters on the front, rlly big windows, and climbing plants up the walls when its warm out. the sign hanging is wooden and handpainted. it has a light on top so you can read it when its dark out.

small talk is rlly big inside, and it shld b-- its always bustling. the inside / main floor is never empty-- ppl r always sat at the tables drawing or painting w watercolours or colouring on the tables themselves ( the tops r chalkboard and washed at the end of every day ) and talking. hardly anybody in small talk is ever idle.

theres a rainbow flag on one wall and this is stencilled on the other, w each phrase in rainbow colours :,)

downstairs in the bldg is the merry widow tea parlour, which is a victorian / gothic-themed teashop owned by a guy and his boyfriend. they opened there in 2011 and theyve been a smash hit since, esp round hallowe’en. igraine knows the owners rlly well and they let the small talk team get free tea all the time, esp because they pay rent to igraine now!  they arent a cat cafe, but they do have a cat!! shes a three year old tuxedo cat and their mascot. shes called the honourable miss lucinda and sometimes if its quiet on small talks main floor she gets loose and wanders round upstairs. ( the merry widow is a great date spot btw ;0 ) 

upstairs in the bldg is a loft-type lvl, w skylights overtop. theres a Bigge expanse at the forefront, which overlooks the main floor below over a balcony. ‘messier’ crafts, like painting and sculpture are to b done up here. the upper lvl has easels and painting / other art supplies, and also a corner w beanbag chairs and a power strip for ppl to Chill in. 

towards the back of the upper lvl r the four, five personal studio spaces, which can b bought and paid for monthly ( it costs less for students ) as well as igraines personal studio in the very corner, and lys office. 

at the very top / on the roof, theres a beautiful expansive patio, which igraine opens for normal activity when its warm out, does summer group stuff, her pride activities and their midsummer festival! there r flowers growing up there and kids like to draw on the patio w chalk :,) its one of igraines favourite places in small talk, esp when the sun is rising

these r igraines coworkers and they love them with all her heart.

holland will probably b the one to greet you first, as thats basically her job, and hes friendly and funny, yea, but hes goddamn LOUD shes even louder than igraine. seriously holls its 9.15 am why r you so :VVVVV. also shes never not wearing a hawaiian shirt or SOMETHING tropical print, no matter what time of the year it is. 

if its not holland, itll probably b caesar, who is much more laid back by comparison. he looks intimidating-- hes quiet and outwardly calm, has two sleeve tattoos, and usually dressed in blacks and greys-- but florians easygoing and a softie. theres a reason he leads the tiny picasso programme there w mads.

talking of which, the tiny picasso programme is Wildly Popular at small talk. its an art programme in the summer led by mads and caesar for kids aged preschool-age to about second grade, and usually they ‘make their own masterpieces, learn to follow directions thru art and the power of self expression’ as it says in the desc on the tiny picasso sect of small talks website. sometimes they have like. a concrete craft to make. they r occasionally seasonal, if a season or holiday is coming up, but they keep their creations strictly secular. ( eg flowers for spring, beach stuff for summer, snowflakes for winter etc. ) 

come late winter / early spring, parents r CLAMOURING in caesar and igraines email inboxes to get their kids into tiny picasso-- it operates on a first come, first served basis because it Blew Up when it was introduced in 1995.

igraine also talked to several local school gsas and worked w them to do programmes during the school year where leetle lgbt kids can make gӓÿ art at small talk. 

there r also a couple interns of varying degrees of paid / unpaid floating round small talk on Any Given Day.

small talk has SO MANY inside jokes. 

one of them is ‘caesar....’ ( read the tags on this post )

another one is holland and caesar being ~In Luv~ because they fuckening R and they jokingly flirt w each other all the time and REFUSE to ADMIT IT and its like GODS GUYS just KISS ALREADY

another is caesars nickname, queso. a lot of the kids he works with cant pronounce ‘caesar’ as ‘seezer’ instead of ‘kay-sar’, ( because theyre all like 4-6, ) which gradually devolved to ‘queso,’ and now all the kids call him that and so does small talks staff :,) 

small talk is rlly famous locally and there r accolades of photos and newspaper and magazine articles where its been featured framed on the walls!!

you can also get a membership at small talk!! i dont know what a membership entails but! you can. b a member. 

they have tshirts on their website and also in person probably!

theres a paper shop down the block from small talk and igraines like. in there every week for supplies. 

its funded by ppl who donate to it, members / studio renters and the programmes!

THANKS ALLY I FUCKING HATED THIS 

[greenday924-blog1]

I unzipped his jeans and tugged them down to his ankles revealing his tight black boxers.I looked up at him and giggled.It being my first time too I was nervous. He had been watching me,looking down and smiling. I slowly pulled his boxers down and his erection sprung upwards like a catapult.At this point I was utterly confused.What next?Do I just grab and pull?No. "Give him something to remember." went through my mind as if it were a billboard sign. I took him in my hand and flicked my tounge on his tip,licking him up and down. "Don't tease baby girl." He ran his fingers through my hair and gently guided my head closer to his.I took him in my mouth,going slowly so I wouldn't gag or bite.I gained speed and he had let out a deep groan. "Ahhh fuck." I looked up at him,his eyes closed and small beads of sweat dripping down the side of his face.I took him all the way.I could feel himself pulsing and twitching inside of my mouth.He took a sharp quick breath in and released inside of me.I took him out and swallowed.I could feel his cum dripping down the side of my mouth and on my face.I wiped the rest of it away. He sat there breathless,his head back,trying to catch his breath. I climbed up off the floor and started taking my clothes off slowly,teasing him. I had taken everything off except my bra.He sat there rubbing his hand up and down around his shaft.I got ontop of him and wrapped my arms around his neck.I positioned myself over him so he could slide himself in.He placed his cock in position and used his other hand to guide me down.I closed my eyes as I felt his tip going in slowly,stretching me from the inside.I started breathing heavily as I went down farther almost reaching his base. I woke up to the smell of pizza. "Daddy?" "No sweetie.He's gone now.He can't hurt us anymore." "Oh...mom." "I got pizza for dinner." "Thanks." I sat up and looked around.Everything was normal.Nothing looked touched or messed up.The tequila wasn't there on the table nor the glasses.It was like he was never here. Was he here?Was it just one of my super realistic dreams again? I sat up and kicked the banket off.I noticed a folded up piece of paper on the coffee table.I picked it up,opened it up and read it. "I put the tequila and glasses away.Made sure everything was like it was.I can't wait for tomorrow night baby girl.-Billie" "What you got there?" I crumpled it up quickly. "Just a receipt.I stopped at 7 11 earlier after school." "Oh." She handed me my plate with a cheesy slice on it. "So how was your first day of school?" "Good." "No trouble or anything with students or teachers?" "Nope." "What about your bus driver?" "Billie?" "Oh is that his name?" "Well it's Billie Joe but um yeah.We got along.He's really cool actually and pretty chill." "Seems like you guys are alright together." "You have no idea." I mumbled under my breath sipping my can of soda. "Hmm?" "I said the pizza's really good.Where'd you get it?" "A new place.It's about 5 blocks from here." "Whenever you get pizza now it's gonna be from there.It's so good." "Alright." "So how was work?" "Usual shit again with Jim.He needs to back off.I'm not interested." "Staff Jim or Old Man Jim?" "Staff.He's a good cook but he won't back off.It's not any easier at another nursing home.Whether it's staff or the guys I'm taking care of,some wise words from me to you,all men are dirty pigs.All they need is 2 tits,a hole and a heartbeat,heartbeat optional." "I know mom.You tell me all the time." "I'm just worried about you sweetie.I don't want to see you get hurt." "I know mom.I know." "Ugh that reminds me I'm working overtime tomorrow night and Sunday.I won't be back till late Monday morning.Around 11.Here is $60 bucks.For food and emergencies only.Got it?" "Got it." "Alright hun.I'm gonna go do the laundry and head to bed for the night.I gotta be up at 9.At least I get some extra sleep." She took off and went down to the basement.I sat there eating slice after slice.I don't eat lunch at school,it's awful and even though we have a fridge,microwave and oven mom always gets take out for dinner.Breakfast was usually whatever was left over dinner from the night before.Tomorrow's breakfast you ask?Pizza. I finished my last slice and put the rest of it in the fridge.I sat down at the island and pulled out my phone. "Can you hook me up?I got $40 for 7g's...Yeah I'm home.Just come up to the door and knock when you're here...Yeah she's up but down in the basement...Yeah good stuff too...Alright.I'll see you when you get here.Love you too." I pulled out the wad of cash she gave me and put $20 of it in my pocket.I held the other $40 in my hand,waiting for my cousin to show up.I watched tv from the island for about 10 minutes.I heard the knock on the door.I opened it up and quickly exchanged our goods. "Thanks man.Love you,see you later." "Love you too.Later." And just like that,he was gone and I had 7 grams of good shit for the weekend.I turned off all the lights and locked the door before I went up stairs.I took a cool bath,threw on a baggy tshirt and shorts and went to bed.All I could think about though was my date tomorrow night. "What am I gonna wear?Who's gonna be playing?Is he gonna be performing?" All these questions raced back and forth in my mind.I was so excited.Then everything had hit me all at once. Number 1:I fucked my bus driver. Number 2:I literally just met him today. Number 3:What are we?Am I just a fuck-buddy?I don't even know how all of today happened like it was no big deal.What's next?Getting hitched in Vegas? At this point I didn't really care for the answers.He made me happy.He gave me a feeling of love,comfort,protection.None of the things I had growing up.None of the things from a father.
