THANK YOU FOR 32 FOLLOWERS!!!

I know this isn't a lot of followers but it's impressive to me Because I never thought I would get people following me because low self esteem lol but I'm so happy people love my art and my OCs And I really appreciate everyone that's following me that don't reblogs my art, your kind comments, ect So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and support It's been a major confidence booster and it's been making me want to continue art! (also you may notice another character Well that's another OC that I'm thinking about redoing I mean she's always been a character of mine from the beginning when I started loving WH, but she's going through changes and I think I like how she's changed so far expect a post about her soon)

Just finished my rewatch of jatp. My perfrct track record of not crying during Unsaid Emily remains untouched. I will say though, I was very close to shedding a tear this time. However, I didn’t even cry during Stand Tall! I always cry during Stand Tall!

Anyways, I couldn’t stop thinking about all the headcanons and theories that us tumblr fantoms created and the little easter eggs we discovered while watching and rewatching the series. It makes me really appreciative of the fact that we had a sense of community during a time where a lot of us were alone, scared, and uninspired. Just like Julie, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and hope. I think that a lot of people felt the same after watching the show. Julie and the Phantoms is what inspired me to learn the piano, the ukulele, and it led me to getting a guitar. When I learned how to play the chords for the soundtrack, I was playing those songs nonstop. It really helped me brave through the unsure feelings that came along with the pandemic. It made me forget my fears about the future.

I don’t feel as hopeful about things as I did back then, but JATP will always be a land-marking point in my life. It represents newfound joy, reignited passion, and abundant vivacity. As someone who loves and is extremely passionate about music, this silly little netflix show really hit me in the most sensitive places. And while I remember having a bout of serious depression after finishing the series, (along with intense rage that while I was dealing with my depression at its lowest point, the cast of jatp was living what felt like my dream) the lessons I learned from the show were far more significant. It literally brought music back into my life, no joke.

The friends I made because of JATP will always have a special place in my heart. A lot of them don’t use tumblr anymore, and I don’t use it nearly as much as I used to, but I’m still so grateful to have been introduced to such kind, accepting, and funny people. The stories, theories, headcanons, fanfictions, moodboards, inside jokes, memes, and fanart we created will always be remembered and cherished. I’m still pro-cheesecake, I’m still highly allergic to sleeves, and every time I see an unnecessary or fake zipper, I think of my fellow tumblr fantoms.

I don’t think I’ll ever truly “get over” Julie and the Phantoms. It was the first thing that truly resonated with my spirit as a new adult. I was 19 and had dropped out of college, feeling completely lost and like I had nothing going for me. Going into lockdown because of the pandemic didn’t help with any of that, and I was aimlessly, endlessly scrolling on social media, hoping to find meaning and purpose. And one day, my friend posted a clip on snapchat of what she was watching on netflix. The guy was cute and it looked like him and the girl he was next to had a nice connection so I asked what show it was. That’s how I discovered JATP, almost 2 weeks after its release. I also just have an unhealthy attachment to the show and the characters so I refuse to let this media that speaks to my soul die.

All that being said, we really deserved another season. I think it would cure me entirely, if I’m being honest. Even if it was just a little Christmas special where they decorate a tree and do those mini stories like filler episodes of a cartoon series. Hell, I’d settle for an animated JATP episode. I just think we all deserve it after what we’ve been through not only as a fandom, but as human beings. I will never forgive netflix for it’s terrible job at promoting, because they only failed when it came to this show specifically. They managed to keep every other show, even ones far less deserving of acclaim and attention, afloat during and after the pandemic. The only reason JATP managed to get anywhere was solely the cast, creators, and fans. Paul Becker was on fucking overdrive, churning out BTS videos WEEKLY. Fanfiction writers were bursting at the seams with multi-chapter series and one shots about every possible scenario. We got things trending on twitter during the two most chronically online years. Fanart was being shared like crazy, and we had the instagram fantoms so confused by the memes that they retaliated and claimed they were superior.

Meanwhile, tumblr was in its shadowbanning era, and fantoms were in the TRENCHES trying to get their content to reach beyond mutuals and taglists. We received barely any appreciation, except for when we trended on twitter asking to renew jatp and on tumblr for jatp appreciation week. Let’s not forget when we thought Owen had a secret tumblr and we all started accusing each other of being him. I will never forget when we all rallied to get Madi to 1 million followers because we didn’t want her to become overshadowed by the boys and all the attention they were getting. We all watched their instagram lives and I will always love the tumblr fantoms who made gifs of the cutest moments from those. Everyone saw me shamelessly simp over Charlie with facial hair wearing a santa onesie. We created a whole Carrie redemption arc out of thin air, we created origin stories for Rose and the Petal Pushers, and we forced the creators of JATP to give us the official last names of Reggie, Alex, and Flynn (This adventure SPECIFICALLY!!!) We were ruthless in our efforts to uncover their last names. We used breadcrumbs to make theories and speculations, only to end up begging in every comment section and dm inbox we could to get Reggie Peters, Alex Mercer, and eventually—though much, much later—Flynn Taylor. We gave Willie more crop tops, we basically storyboarded a second season, complete with episode titles and songs! We uncovered the Sunset Curve EP using the grainiest photos in existence, we created a loose timeline surrounding everyone’s birthdays, deaths, and significant events. We orchestrated a fucking CONCERT TOUR for this band. Oh, and let’s not forget when Kenny and the boys went to Hawaii. That Hawaii trip was so eventful for the fantoms, you have no idea how serious I’m being unless you were there for it. That was something unlike anything else for so many reasons. There’s a lot more, but that’s the stuff that came to mind immediately.

Omg y’all im so sorry about my inactivity over the past year or two. My life is becoming more “adult” in the sense that I have places to be, people to see, and things to do. I really only come on here when I have the chance to be alone, which isn’t very often anymore. I was so active on here because of the pandemic and now that things aren’t as isolated and have essentially reverted back to an altered version of pre-pandemic life, I don’t have the time nor mental energy to write, post, or interact on here like I used to.

It makes me really sad because I’ve made some wonderful friends on here. It sucks bc a lot of them became inactive after the hype for JATP died down and then everyone basically went inactive once it was officially canceled. I saw it coming, but it still hurt. Not only that, but I also got into some dead fandoms lol.

Anyway, I guess this is my official post saying to not expect any writing from me from now on. I will still be active every once in a blue moon, and I will never deactivate my account. I want to keep all my work available for y’all to read bc I know how frustrating it is to go back to a fic that I bookmarked or copied the link to, only to find a blank page bc the person deleted it or deactivated their profile. (Of course people have their reasons so i’m not hating i just get sad bc i liked the fic enough to save it to read again so it’s a bit disappointing, you know?)

ANYWAY, I will still interact with people and posts when I find the time to be on tumblr and I will never say I’ll never post writing again, but just don’t expect anything from me, not that anybody still was anyway, but I just finally have the courage to make the official ‘I’ve “outgrown” my active era on this platform’ post.

Thank you for all the love, friendship, laughs, memes, asks, tags, and support through the years, especially 2020 and 2021. (But also special shoutout to 2017 when i was mainly posting for HS1 and had a post reach 1k notes for the first time) I will always be here for you if you message me, and I will always do my best to check in as much as possible. Just know I wish I could be on here more, but I also don’t think it’d be the best thing for my mental health lol.

ANYWAY… Thank you for everything. Reach out whenever, I’ll be here even if I’m not RIGHT HERE.

I love you all so much.

-Nicole <3

i sometimes go back to all the reblogs just to see the wonderful things you all say about what i create and i feel all fuzzy and smiley again <3

what artists dont tell you is that every compliment is actually 100 compliments because they'll go back to re-read it 100 times and it'll make them feel fuzzy all over again every single time

ive been thinking a lot lately in like- how far i've come in my ability to utilize social skills and overall be an outgoing person who actively does things.

cuz' like, for all of elementary and middle (and most of high school) my entire identity was based on being online- not that i had much choice. my opinions for entertainment was limited entirely to what was in my house because that's all i had. even moreso what was limited to my room considering my stepfamily and my lack of desire to associate with them.

so, like. my entire social circle relied on either whoevers family would take me home to play that day or whatever i could do with friends on the computer and the computer was the far most common outcome. and as a result i had the bravery and social skills of a sponge. (the neurodivergence and trauma i had back as a kid certainly played in, too.) and in middle school i just wanted to kill myself. i was so convinced that i would fail school and have no friends ever and everything felt so scary. and it felt like that was the one thing left for me. but i didn't concede and kept going and pushed through.

and adulthood sucked! i was thrown into covid directly after my 18th birthday and spent my inductive adult years all holed up in my room again, only this time abusing alcohol. it sucked. i was back to only online friends and a hellish circle of people hellbent on making me worse and they did, in fact, make me worse. and i got suicidal again. but i went back to therapy and pushed through again. i got rid of the friends, got some cool jobs, forced myself to be a person again. and i made some friends!

and i got another job. and made even more friends. and went back to in person school and made even more! i learned to play the guitar and made more friends. i kept just meeting new people and bringing them into my life and trying to be kind and be a good neighbor and now my life is so full of wonderful people in every direction and it's so overwhelming and i know it's because i put in the work and perseverance to get here! i have so many wonderful friends online. i have so many wonderful friends in person. i'm so surrounded with love and genuinely good people- everyone i surround myself with is someone i greatly admire and consider myself better for knowing.

its just so wild to me because for so long i never imagined myself being this kind of person- someone so surrounded by friends and love. i still can't really believe it.
