J-14 Magazine - March Issues

[rwrbficrecs]

Hey! Do you happen to know any fics where Henry finds out about Alex’s childhood obsession with his poster? I know it’s kinda specific but I’m craving that brand of teasing and fluff right now.

Hi! Here’s a few ❤️

Celebrations by @three-drink-amy Framed by floatingaway4 The B Was Never Silent by @indomitable-love Wedding Part 2: Electric Boogaloo by @ashspren-writes

Also wanted to include the following fics as a bonus! The poster/magazine is mostly only a small mention in these ones but I thought they were still fun to include. (Search “magazine” in them to find the mention) and then i was a careless fool (and i fell in love with you) by newmoonrising Asking For Permission by @cultofsappho But Then You Found Me (And Everything Changed) by Lily_Padd_23, supernatural_mondler everything looks better in the morning. by @chaa-kiao Magazine Posters by @chrysti-e & @kate882 Per Aspera Ad Astra by @springairs There's Nothin' Better by orphan_account  Huge thanks to my lovely new team of volunteers for helping collect these recs ❤️ If you’d like to help out too, check out the Volunteers Page 🥰

My old room from high school. Anyone else used to have their walls completely covered in magazine posters?

Hey

It's the same girl who asked about your opinion on my 10 year old cousin thinking Jungkook will marry her

I just wanted to ask

Is it normal that Every ARMY(some non-ARMYs too) around me thinks that someone from BTS gonna marry them? Or is it just people around me???

Everyone are delulu omg😭

I have too many stories about these girls

I (forcefully) checked what they were talking about and checked your Tumblr and I was so thankful someone was normal. I almost thought Everyone were like that

And Yes I told her to stay in School

I think everyone has a secret fantasy about marrying their favorite celebrity. That’s why celebrities and idols exist and why boy bands are so successful. I’m really showing my age but omg the frenzy in the 90s and early 2000s around NYSNC and The Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears?? Unparalleled. Then in the late 2000s we saw it again with Justin Bieber and One Direction. The Josie and Pussycats film (SLAY) makes fun of the entertainment industry the entire movie by even parodying boyband obsession, product placements, and the trend cycles. The movie went over so many peoples’ heads when it was released so it bombed at the box office but it’s a cult classic for a reason. Highly recommend to watch!!! Also aging myself again by admitting I had both the dvd AND soundtrack as kid bc the songs are bangers. Honestly the 90s-2000s in general just rocked. This is the only meme I have of the film but see the product placement and the mockery of boy bands? Genius.

The 1D documentary is a perfect example of the boy band frenzy that JATP film was mocking bc they even had a small scene where they had a neuroscientist or someone similar in that profession (I haven’t seen the movie in a few years so I’m not 100% sure but I was a hardcore 1d stan and have the dvd bc their live vocals honestly slap. Their concert cover of teenage dirtbag in the movie?? Still waiting for the actual recording bc chefs kiss). Anyway the neuroscientist was saying that corporations/ music companies have these formulas to create the perfect idol down to a t after studying the phenomenons of rabid Beatles and Elvis fans in the 50/60s. It has to do with the happiness chemicals in the brain. Combine those with good looks and music? You can’t help but fall in love. The entertainment industry then purposely directs their carefully molded artists to vulnerable audiences (preteens, teens, women) because they will buy more products. Casey Aonso (another fellow 1d stan wassup girl) YouTube video describes their XFactor era HILARIOUSLY. War flashbacks. The clips about HOW BAD each individual one direction members auditions were but you could see the $$$ in the judges eyes bc the boys were good looking and you could tel the judges were plotting how to sell the boys good looks. And they did.

And boy do we know that formula works. Hybe overprices bts products on Weverse shop and y’all eat it up and sell it out every time. $200 for a REPACKAGED cd. Weren’t they selling like a $1000 product recently? But even Jin had to be like “nah for my Astronaut comeback yall not gonna be selling hella expensive pajama pants like last time tho. We don’t price gouge in this house”. All hail jin.

I’ve talked a lot about parasocial relationships and media training, etc. While I think it’s fine to have a secret fantasy about marrying *insert celebrity crush name here*, I think it’s important to realize it’s a FANTASY. Fun to think about and daydream to, but NOT REALISTIC when trying to plan a future around or with. Go play the childhood game of MASH or make a SIMS family with Jungkook as your husband. That’s fine and normal. But don’t be going around telling people he’s your boyfriend. That’s delusion. I’ve included a perfect real life example of healthy young fangirling in the tags.

EDIT JUNE 11 2023:

I happened to come across this tik tok video yesterday that also explains delusion and obsession. I think it applies to “fangirling” especially well. TW for trauma.

Dream for J-14 magazine in 2001

[grimmiearchive]

24 July 2015

Christina Grimmie's Snapchat Takeover at J-14

[mulderscully]

thinking abt casey saying the sequel will partly be things from the book that didnt make it into the movie.... happy brain says yaaay j14 magazine, reworked emails, you're good scene etc... sad brain says oooo the full extent of alex and henry's mental illnesses <3 i contain multitudes

[thomasbrodiesandwich]

im just thinking abt how tipsy-alex, right after watching june dancing w henry in the royal wedding, is thinking abt the first time he saw henry in that j14 magazine when he was twelve. and hes thinking abt how perfect prince henry was in that candid photo of him all sunny and warm smile and confident. how he's so drawn to that henry that he keeps on sneaking into june's room just to stare at that picture and run his finger on poster-henry's hair "as if he could somehow feel the texture if he imagined it hard enough". how he wud think of that very picture the more his parents climbed political ranks and wished he had poster-henry's confidence. he even thought of taking the poster right out of the magazine but he ddnt bcs he knows he's going to rip it w his stubby fingernails. he ddnt even want to potentially ruin the poster like that's how he held that poster so special to him.

and then he actually met prince henry in rio and all of that expectations shattered. ruined. he felt a bit betrayed. disappointed. which immediately turned into dislike. he thought that rio-henry is the real henry. snobbish, arrogant, cold. and he cldnt blv himself that he wanted to be like "that".

but in actuality, henry is more similar to what alex thought abt j14 poster henry. warm smiles, humorous, blue-eyes and laugh that crinkles the corners of his eyes. confident henry (the first kiss! their first time!) henry all "pretty and flung-open" for alex. and alex fell in love with this henry.

what im getting at is that alex was alrdy obliviously drawn to actual-henry from the start. theyre written in the stars, soulmatism, together forever and in every universe.

For ficlet Friday- 1 for firstprince 💕

(and if you think you want to…maybe 6 for taynick? 👀🫶)

HOLY SHIT THIS TOOK ME ALL NIGHT

1. The truth is… : Firstprince

Henry laughs a little when Alex finally tells him about the J14 magazine, the object of his confession sitting on the bed in their room in the lake house, still glossy with baby Henry’s photo after all these years. He was kind of planning on taking this secret to the grave. Okay fine, maybe not to the grave, he can’t do that to Henry. He’ll tell him eventually. Maybe after marriage though? But when he opened his suitcase during their weekend vacation in his dad’s lake house just to see the magazine that started it all lying on top of his packed clothes, with a post-it note in June’s handwriting “You’re Welcome :P”, and for Henry to walk in just to see Alex trying to figure out how to deal with the cursed magazine, scrambling to hide it behind his back, cheeks red and flustered, well, the explanation is demanded much sooner than he’d like to. So Alex flips open to the page with the first sight of Henry he’s ever seen, tracing over the faint grease marks left by his fingers throughout the year, and tells his side of the story, of being to oddly entranced by the little prince smiling on the page, sneaking into June’s room just to touch his hair, wondering how it would feel like underneath his fingertips, soft, golden locks twirled around his chocolate skin. The truth is, it felt kind of embarrassing to tell Henry that he has actually, subconsciously beaten Henry in the “who fell for the other first” competition. After all, he was kind of the person who started their initially antagonistic relationship, and he was the one who was too stubborn to admit that he liked talking to Henry when they were becoming tentative friends. He was also the one to tease Henry when his prince admitted he’s been in love with him since the day they met. But after he stammers through his confession, Henry just giggles, the sweet private smile when his ducks his chin. The last of the day’s sun shines through and highlights his hair, a golden crown, on the world’s most beautiful prince. Light pink dusts his cheeks, light sparkles in his eyes, and Alex is in love again. And all the stupid worry dissipates. The truth is, it doesn’t really matter who fell first. They’re here now, and no matter what they will always find their way towards each other. And that’s the universal constant.

6. Everything is telling them not to. : Taynick

“This is a dangerous idea.” Nicholas whispers.   “I know.” Taylor answers back. There are a million reasons why this is a bad idea. He hasn’t dated in years, and for a good reason, both emotion-wise and practicality-wise. His career is finally taking off in a direction he can be happy and even proud of, he’s been taking project after project, his schedule is filled to the brink… and that’s just the list of his personal concerns. There’s the issue of co-workers getting together, the issue of their personal relationship getting in the way of this production, the issue of neither of them being in a position where they can come out without their career being affected… And what happens if this doesn’t work, the memory of a beautiful summer tainted with the blood of a broken heart. Everything is telling them not to. Except their hearts. He didn’t expect to like Taylor this much when he took this project, or when he met Taylor in their chemistry test, or they were rehearsing intimate scenes, limbs tangled up while they tried not to laugh at their compromising positions. Truthfully, he really did see an immediate friend in Taylor. He didn’t expect to see more. It’s getting simultaneously harder yet clearer to draw the line between Henry and himself. Taylor is charming, and charismatic, and kind. That’s lovely, but that’s nothing new that Nick hasn’t realised as a friend. But Taylor being protective of him, being so caring and careful with him; that’s new. It’s different. And it’s… it’s making his heart beat faster and something warm in chest expand. He doesn’t know if it’s some sort of character bleed, of Alex’s attitude towards Henry creeping into Taylor. But a month into shooting, Taylor starts remember his breakfast orders, bringing his latte to set for him. During emotional-challenging scenes, he checks on him after every take and hugs him after they wrap, long arms around him, pressing him into his broad chest. He picks up the phone no more than three rings when Nick is rolling around on his bed, plagued by insomnia, It’s… nice. It’s not that Taylor’s pampering or babying him or anything, nothing of the sort, but it’s very endearing. And safe. There’s something so comforting about the way he and Taylor just connects and clicks, like a puzzle piece in the tapestry that makes him up finally finding its match to create another special thing. He can feel it, it’s precious, and rare, and miraculously beautiful. And Taylor can feel it too. Seeing as earlier today, two weeks before they wrap, he asked Nick for a dinner date to talk things out, figure out what are they going to do with this magnetic attraction.   Which is where they are now. “I’m in if you are.” Taylor says, his voice steadier than ever, and despite everything, Nick feels so, so safe, with his hands in Taylor’s larger ones, warm and loving. “We’ll figure this out. Step by step. Just like they did.” He faintly wonders if, in some weird, twisted arrangement of fate, they’re some sort of reincarnation of Alex and Henry, always tied by a red string of fate in every universe, in every name and identity. But regardless of whatever unknown forces are at play, right now, he’s Nicholas Galitzine, he’s an actor, he really likes his co-star, and he really, really wants to try this out. “I’m in.” Taylor smiles, brighter than a million suns. “Then let’s fucking do this, baby.”

Yeah I feel like I lost it at the end with the Taynick one... but hopefully this is okay?

Gonna write the rest of the prompts I got in the morning, night y'all

I am SO sorry this turned out a lot longer than I expected but goddamn I love this book and I’m so excited for the movie my brain needed something to do lmao

[breathing-in-waves]

Liam Payne was the reason I got into One Direction. I was a massive fan of theirs since 2010 or 2011, gone to multiple concerts, the theater for their movie, and even had dozens of posters covering my wall from head to toe from j14 magazines and such... The boys quite literally were my world as a preteen/teen.

I stopped following Liam's career and though I can't say I admired what I heard about him after the band broke up, I also can't deny the fact that Liam Payne was my original favorite... I remember buying everything purple and getting reinvested in Toy Story, trying to talk my mom into getting a turtle... I remember swearing that I would never talk of dreaded spoons.

It's crazy how tragedy brings back forgotten memories. I find myself missing the "old days" a lot more, this year...

I lost my Mom in May. She was my everything (and that's putting it lightly). I wish she was here with me today. If she were, she'd be sad too. She loved the band and went to the concerts with me. She would have held me and comforted me.

Instead, I found out late (and from a fucking supernatural meme). This year just feels so unreal.

I'll forever look back fondly on my years listening to 1D. I hope you can rest peacefully now, Liam. ❤️
