All right so I haven't been active in the Julie and the Phantoms fandom in a long time, and although I know there are definitely still people creating and reblogging in the fandom it tends to be a much smaller handful of people than it used to, which for me felt disheartening and was part of why I've backed off from it. I'd love to see new stuff more regularly and start recirculating older things just to remind myself and anyone else who needs it how much I love this silly little show.
All this to say, I am putting out feelers to see if anyone is interested in a blog that runs consistent, casual event-type things for the fandom to try and revitalize interest in jatp fanworks, like featured weeks for individual characters here, fic rec events, etc. I'm toying with ideas to inspire people to pick up their wips, spark new stories, and highlight older content that didn’t get much attention or would just be nice to see again. I’d like to create a community space to liven the fandom back up for people who miss the show or got into the fandom after the hype died down. Does that seem interesting to anyone?
#julie and the phantoms#jatp#I'm filled with both hubris and resolve and I feel like. with other people modding the blog as well. this would be doable#i already have a LOT of ideas about wip events to get stories written that have been sitting untouched i know i'm not the only one w/h thos#so i guess if that sounds good to you interact with this in some way? and if you're interested in being involved/have ideas#please share! if it's just me on a reblog spree it won't work but if we all pitch in to talk to each other#(and i know. if you know me you know i'm not always great at that. but having a Format for it makes me good at it so)

Imagine wearing Luke’s beanie
"God, I hate you so much!"
Luke looks up from his journal, pausing in his writing as his eyebrows furrow in confusion at the sound of frustration coming from the bathroom. He sits up from his relaxed position on the couch and looks toward the hallway leading to where you're in the bathroom getting ready to go with him and meet up with the rest of Sunset Curve for lunch. He doesn't have to wait long as he hears you let out another exasperated groan and the noise of bottles being thrown around.
Setting down his journal and pencil on the coffee table, he leaves the living room and makes his way over to the bathroom door in large strides. Knocking on the door, Luke calls out, "Everything okay?"
"I'm not leaving this apartment."
Luke shakes his head in amusement at your statement. "Can I come in?"
"I guess."
He opens the door and steps inside to a mess. You're sitting on the edge of the tub, dressed and ready to go out except that your hair is not done yet. Though with everything he sees littered throughout the counter, he's surprised that's the case: a spray bottle filled with water, hair spray, mousse, containers filled with oils and creams of all the colors of the rainbow, and various brushes and combs of all different shapes and sizes.
"I'm not going anymore," You tell Luke with a sigh, tossing your hairbrush into the sink and turning to lean against the counter, a frown on your face.
Luke leans opposite of you, back against the wall. "Why not? You know Bobby is buying, right? Free lunch."
On any other day, the offer of free food would have you running toward the door but instead, all he sees is you staying firmly planted in your spot.
You gesture to the sink where all of your hair products are strewn about haphazardly. "My hair doesn't want to work with me today. I've literally put everything I have on my hair and I cannot get it to settle down. It's all frizzy and I've already lost three hairbands to it." You throw your hands up in exasperation. "I give up and I'm just going to stay in today."
Luke frowns at your comment. "You've been forward to Guigino's all week."
You let out a sigh. "I know but I don't know what to do with my hair. I literally only use scrunchies so it's not like I have anything in my room to cover it up with."
A beat passes between the two of you before Luke speaks up. "Wear my beanie."
You open your mouth, probably to politely thank him and refuse his offer but he cuts you off as he's quick to take off the bright orange beanie and makes his way to you.
Placing his hands on your shoulders, he gently turns you so that you're facing the mirror. Setting down the beanie on the edge of the sink, he reaches from behind you and he turns on the sink, wetting his hands before turning off the faucet. Luke begins running his hands through your hair, helping to pat down flyaway hairs and any other hairs that are sticking out.
You stay quiet, watching him through the mirror as a grin grows on his face, satisfied that most of your hair is tamed. He picks up the beanie and places it on you. Looking at the mirror, he tucks any stray hair under the beanie, eyes narrowing in concentration. With a satisfied nod, he meets your eyes through the mirror and gestures to the mirror. "Now you're ready for Guigino's."

Looking for Remix events
A few years ago I participated in a Stucky Remix event (@stuckyremix) and I really enjoyed it. I like the idea of an event centred around existing works.
I haven't really seen more remix events since then, but I would love to participate in more, so if you know of any, please send them my way.
I'm currently interested in events for:
Julie and the Phantoms
Stranger Things
9-1-1
Roswell, New Mexico
Merlin
Thank you for your help! (Please consider reblogging this so more people see it)

i'm NOT gonna be evil and say all of them. but i want to.
so instead.
let's do before the beginning!
Hah that's so fair, it would take me a hot second to get through all of them. But let's jump back quite a ways before the beginning to the happy stuff...
"Dad, I'm home," Willie called, tossing their jacket on a hook in the entryway and heading for the kitchen.
"I think your dad is in his office," Trevor said when Willie entered. "Yet another legal disagreement with Spotify I think. Apple slice?"
Willie grinned and accepted. "Pretty sure those guys are spending more on lawyers than they're making, the opportunity cost is too high."
"Please tell me that means you took notes in econ today?" Bobby sniffled, coming into the kitchen wrapped in a fluffy blanket despite it being 70 degrees outside.
"Hey, you feeling any better kiddo?" Trevor asked, immediately flipping into Concerned Dad Mode.
Bobby shrugged listlessly and stole an apple slice off the cutting board. "I haven't thrown up yet today so there's that?"
"Progress," Willie said, smiling at his step-brother. Or brother brother? They were all still trying to figure out where those lines went. "And yes, I have econ notes and history notes. No art notes cause... duh."
Bobby attempted to return the expression. "Thanks Wills."
(Send me some No Excuses Writing Asks!)
#legolas tag#julie and the phantoms#legolas answers asks#jatp jem and the holograms au#this is probably like... 5 years before the main story?#I really gotta work out a timeline of events for this one so I stop confusing myself...#but THANK YOU#I have been wanting to explore the family dynamic here for EVER

Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Alternate
Because I had two versions in my brain and they both needed let out...
Julie and the Phantoms are at a meet and greet, engaging with fans. They arrange themselves for another group photo, as previously planned, with Julie sandwiched between Reggie and Luke, the latter’s arm around her waist, and Alex behind them. They’re engaged in quiet conversation while they wait, and from the fan’s perspective, Julie and Luke must look particularly intimate because suddenly a cheer starts making its way through the crowd.
“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”
Julie pulls her attention back to the people in front of them and rolls her eyes as Luke’s hand tightens on her waist. She feels Reggie pull away slightly from her other side, as if to give the two of them room in encouragement and Alex has already lifted his hands in resignation and removed himself from the whole situation. A lot happens in a very, very short moment of time and she finds herself taking a page out of Luke’s book, pulling Reggie into the space between them as she extracts herself from his grasp. Both boys (and everyone else) are stunned for a moment but Luke recovers almost imperceptibly quickly and shrugs before wrapping his hand around the back of Reggie’s neck and pulling him in for a kiss.
Alex and Julie gape at them while a collective gasp rises from the crowd.
When they pull apart, Reggie adjusts his hair as he reorients himself in his spot a Julie’s width away from Luke and Luke directs a wink her way. She shakes her head in amusement and a grin before taking her own place between them.
Luke nods toward Alex, summoning him back too.
“Flynn’s gonna be pissed,” Alex tells him as he returns to his position behind them though he can’t keep the amusement out of his voice.
“Worth it,” Luke grins at him
The band recovers as if nothing had even happened. It takes the fans a bit longer but the stunned silence turns into excited clamouring and the event is back underway before too long.
#read it how you want to#jatp#julie and the phantoms#julie molina#luke patterson#reggie peters#alex mercer#fanfic#nobodys fics#I have been to only one fan event ever and it was chill so excuse any creative liberties#The alternative settings were a red carpet or a talk show and those felt like even less likely possibilities

JATP x DBDA crossover where the Phantoms are free but Willie still isn’t and Caleb is playing dirty now that the boys have bested him (possessing Nick but also cmon he definitely has more magic up his sleeve) so they start trying to figure out Magic on their own, which is really just Julie and Flynn googling things and trying out various types of magic/spells/scam artists in the area, only for someone to come across something to do with the DBDA who are happy to take the case 👀
I have too many WIPs for this but just some ideas floating around my head:
- Crystal at first butts heads with Julie and Flynn (residual mean girl tendencies/differing senses of humor) but end up bonding over being surrounded by (dumb) dead teenage boys
- None of the Phantoms are good at proper spells but their music 100% has magical properties that is utilised in whatever final battle type event happens
- Edwin has come to terms with Charles’s eccentricities but the Phantoms are a whole other type of teenage boy and I think he would be just so catty about it all. Like why are they cute and so stupid this is ridiculous why the Hell did we even take this case can they please take this seriously
- Charles and Reggie vibe. I don’t make the rules
- Flynn can’t see the boys either which naturally leads to hijinks
- Monty attends a concert (he deserves to have fun) and while I considered him being the link between the two groups I think it would be funnier if he decided to go to a concert and runs into them coincidentally
- Based on a precursory AO3 search I’ve seen some fics where Monty gets in trouble with Caleb which makes sense with the whole magic familiar angle but I’m not copying here so I won’t get into that
- I think Willie interacting with DBDA would be wild. Like. Dead pretty boy with a sense of humour and tragic backstory? They’re all swooning fr
- Niko (shhh) gets along with Julie and Flynn IMMEDIATELY like they are talking about shows and DIYing things together and it’s great
- Crystal gets along better/faster with Julie and Flynn with Niko present fs
- There’s at least one dance number with everyone involved
- possessed!Nick is still trying to woo Julie and not only do we get the Phantoms side eyeing him but now we get the DBDA just openly judging him (Crystal roasts the shit out of that fedora and she’s RIGHT)
- Crystal would decimate any of Carrie’s attempts at being bitchy so I think we have to redeem Carrie for that reason alone
- DBDA goes to a JATP concert and the boys are actually awful at vibing there. Like Crystal is relatively normal (idk if it’s her scene but she’s been to concerts before) but Edwin does not know what to do at a modern concert and Charles is used to a much different style of dancing/concerts (I don’t know enough abt aka punk to elaborate unfortunately but ykwim)
- girls night includes style swapping bc the DBDA girlies deserve some butterfly clips and the JATP girlies deserve some eyeliner
- in the nature of JATP I don’t think Caleb gets sent to hell in the end but I do think his ending needs to be ridiculous. Like have him get the Night Nurse treatment and get eaten by that fish so he can be redeemed by Kashi
- not to bring up Monty again but I think he sticks around and keeps up with the JATP crew more than the DBDA (he is not interested in any more of that Hell/monster energy and that’s so valid of him)
- montage of Edwin and Charles teaching the Phantoms ghost abilities (I can’t remember if/how they vary between shows but if so shhh or explain it away yk)
- Unseen Emily reprise and it’s all the boys mourning loved ones. Just for the feels.
- Actually just more backstories for everyone please
- Love ballad/slow song that Willex and/or Payneland dance to 🥰
- Palasaki being openly in love (which inspires whatever the Flynn x Carrie ship is bc I love them)

Julie and The Phantoms in this day and age?! Yes. Absolutely.
I actually drew this back in 2023, so nearly a year ago but never shared it on my account so here you go!
Missing them always.
Must I be doomed to love cancelled shows 😭
Breaking up what’s becoming Locky spam… not that I mind at all. I was deep in the JATP fandom back in 2021 and it was probably my first experience actively engaging with others and events, safe to say I have a really special place in my heart for this show.
Stand Tall lovelies (and enjoy this brief switch of fandoms because Locky will come back full swing!!)

Imagine being there when Julie meets the guys
When you responded to Julie's text and made your way to her house, you didn't know what to expect. She had sent a '911' text so it had to be something big since she wasn't the type of person to just frivolously sent the code word you, Flynn, and Julie had come up with. You expected perhaps her being ready to open up and talk about her mom. Ghosts were the furthest things on your mind but that was exactly what you walked into.
Julie took the lead as she led the two of you into the loft. Holding the cross in hand high in the air, she cautiously looks around the room. "Are you still here," She says nervously, "whatever you are?"
Circling the room, nothing seems out of place from the last time you were here and it was just you two in the loft. When nothing changes or appears, she looks at you in disbelief as she shakes her head. "I know I saw something. I'm not crazy."
Opening your mouth, you were about to say something - anything to comfort her - when a mysterious and male spoke. "Well, we're all a little crazy."

Hi! Can I get Luke Patterson + Where Do Broken Hearts Go by One Direction? Thank you!
A/N: I've missed writing for JATP 💖 Yet another innocent victim of Netflix's murdering spree. I have no idea why I've constantly pushed my JATP requests back because these are super fun! This is kinda a sad one though because of the song, sorry. The dice chose this request out of the ones I had inspiration for on that moment because I couldn't choose, but the next one of my JATP wips will be fluffier. It doesn't have a schedule yet though 😅
A reminder that this is the last oneshot-sized song based fic. From now on, all oneshot requests require a proper plot. Check my "request types I write" page for details if you wish to request a oneshot.
WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO
You never really moved on from Luke.
It wasn’t really because of lack of trying. Over the years, you tried — Lord, how you tried. Your friends set you up on dates, you went to speed dating events whenever you were invited to come along, you even briefly dipped yourself into online dating when it became a thing. Every time, it ended the same. A nice dinner, maybe a movie. And then came the part where they wanted more. Where they wanted to meet with you again. Where they wanted to know you better. Where they — maybe — had developed a crush on you.
And you just… couldn’t. You felt nothing for those people. So it always ended the same way, a polite smile and a rejection, explaining that there’s nothing wrong with them, but you can’t feel the connection the same way they do. Sometimes you learned afterwards that the man who had been interested in you turned out to be a dream boyfriend for someone lucky, and your friends jabbed you a little, telling you that you could have been that person if you just had given him a chance.
It hurt, even though you agreed that clinging to your childhood sweetheart after 25 years was stupid. But you never got to say a proper goodbye. When you had seen him for the last time, you had felt annoyed because he cancelled your second anniversary date because of an Orpheum gig practice. You had tried to hide it and pretend to be happy, but Luke had seen you weren't as happy as he expected, but he promised to make it up to you later. Still, it was such a small thing, you had been so angry at yourself afterwards because the gig was a huge opportunity, a chance of a lifetime, yet you had voiced your disappointment about your cancelled date like a petty child.
Well, you were a teenager, strong emotions with disappointments like that were normal. But… still. You felt so horrible after.
25 years had passed from their death, and something changed.
Items misplaced. Your favourite vinyl record had somehow traveled from your shelf to the player without you even touching it. Your Sunset Curve shirt was on your bed one morning as you woke up. A scent of deodorant in the kitchen, and you swore it was the brand Luke always used. You hadn’t smelled that for 25 years, and now it just… came to your nose all of a sudden.
Every time something strange happened, you closed your eyes and told yourself that you were just tired and stressed. The boys’ death anniversary was coming up again after all.
And after a few days, the strange occurrences stopped just as quickly as they started.
But then, something happened. Good Morning America had this segment of a girl named Julie, who played with some Swedish boy band, and they were somehow streamed as holograms to play with her at first but had now come to the States for a proper tour. You didn’t pay much notice to it at first, the TV was on in the background while you did dishes, but then… one of the boys sang.
And you recognised it immediately, and had to run to the living room to confirm.
Luke. Along with Reggie and Alex.
And they didn’t look a day older than they did when you last saw them.
How?
The segment went through in a blur, you barely heard what was said, you just stood there with a towel in hand, wondering if you’re becoming crazy, or if this is a dream.
As days went by, it became clear that it wasn’t a dream. And you knew you couldn’t just stand by, you had to find them. You had to find Luke.
So, when you caught an ad for one of their gigs, you snatched a ticket and made your way to the venue a few months later.
You felt ridiculous standing there, in the middle of teenagers and young adults, snapping selfies of themselves and gushing how cute the boys were, while you were there, feeling so out of place. You hadn’t gone to gigs for years, it felt so foreign now. And to be honest, you started having second thoughts. Would you even see Luke? What would you say to him?
What could you say to him?
You stood there throughout the whole gig, just staring at Luke, before they left the stage and you hurried forward to catch one of the staff members.
“I need to get to the backstage,” you told her, and she raised her eyebrows.
“Meet-and-greets were sold out weeks ago, and unfortunately—”
“No, I… I know them. From… before. Please, they want to see me.” You hesitated, but then told her your full name. “Tell Luke Patterson I’m here. If he says he doesn’t know me, then I’ll go. But please, just go ask him, tell him my name.”
She stared at you for a moment longer, clearly hesitating whether to believe you. You knew it was probably weird to her, maybe even creepy, a middle-aged fan potentially obsessing over a teenage boy. But finally, she sighed. “Fine. Wait here.”
You let out a breath. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”
She disappeared around the corner, and you could almost hear the blood rushing through your veins from how quick your heart was beating. It took only a few minutes, but you felt like it was hours.
You still didn’t fully believe this wasn’t some crazy dream. Or maybe you had died yourself and this was the afterlife? Or you were in a coma and this was a dream. You remembered reading about a man who hit his head and dreamed about a full life while being unconscious, and when he woke up with paramedics around him, he was left mourning after his wife and kids who had never existed.
You weren’t sure if you wanted this to be that kind of phenomenon. On the other hand, you wanted nothing more than to meet Luke one last time, tell him everything you wanted to say before he died, and maybe finally be able to move on. But on the other hand, you weren’t sure if you would be able to take it, your life had moved on while he had been frozen in time. You weren’t sure if you would be able to let go of the memory of him. You weren’t sure if your broken heart would finally find its way home after all.
“Alright, you may come backstage, I will personally see if they do recognise you as you say. No funny business, alright?” a deep voice interrupted your thoughts, and you met eyes with a bulky security man who fumbled with the lock of the gate before opening it.
“Of course not,” you murmured, and slipped through the gate before he locked it again.
You followed the security guy through a narrow hallway, catching glimpses of staff members doing something, but your eyes were fixed forward, your heart thumping faster and faster.
Finally, you stood in front of the dressing room and the security guy glanced at you before he knocked twice.
“A visitor for Luke,” he called out, and you heard steps from the other side before he pushed the door open and gestured you to enter. You hesitated, glancing between the door and him, before you managed to force yourself to step forward.
You stood at the door for a good minute, taking the sight in. None of the boys didn’t notice you at first, probably exhausted after the gig. Alex had a towel over his shoulders, Reggie was tuning his guitar, and… Luke laid on the sofa with his arm over his eyes.
“Luke,” you squeaked out, making him groan and stir, before moving his arm just enough to look at you.
He stared at you. You stared at him back.
Then, he jumped up, gasping your name, which prompted Reggie and Alex to look up as well.
“Yeah,” you said with a nervous laugh. “I saw a video of you in Good Morning America, and—”
But you were cut off when Luke basically ran to you, wrapping his arms around you. “I’m so sorry,” he whispered against your shoulder. “For everything. For not being there. For leaving you like that.”
You shook your head, pulling away from him. “No, I’m sorry. I was an ass that day, I was jealous of your fans, because you had a practice booked for the Orpheum gig, and—”
He cut you off again, “No, stop. I understand.”
You swallowed, feeling Reggie and Alex stare at you, before Reggie spoke up. “You look… different.”
You couldn’t help but laugh again. “Well, 25 years can do that to a person.”
Reggie blinked, then slapped his forehead. “Oh. Right.”
Alex suddenly jumped up. “Oh! Oh my gosh, wait a second. Now I see it. Holy crap. It’s you, isn’t it?”
Luke laid a glare on his friend. “Of course it’s them, they haven’t changed that much.”
“Haven’t changed that much?” Reggie echoed. “Luke, they’ve aged, like… beautifully, don’t get me wrong, but still 25 years! It’s not like time froze for them, like it did for us.”
You kept grinning, you had missed the boys and their silliness. “Thanks? I guess.”
You were quiet for a moment, before Luke cupped your cheek. “Don’t care about them, I’d recognise you everywhere.”
You averted your eyes from his and sighed. “You guys look just like you did back when… that happened.”
Luke laughed this time, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah, the perks of being a ghost. Or, well, whatever we are now.”
Ghosts?
“So, you came to my home and haunted me?” you asked, frowning.
He hesitated, but then shrugged. “I wouldn’t say I haunted you, I tried to leave little signs. But I needed to see you.”
“But… why did you wait for 25 years for that?”
Luke sighed, gesturing towards the door at the back. “Uh, our singer, Julie, found our old demo disc from her attic a few months ago and it just… somehow brought us back? We weren’t here as ghosts or anything else before now, we weren’t able to see the world change after… us. We thought that it had only been an hour when we came back.”
Reggie smirked, pointing at Alex. “So basically Alex here cried for 25 years straight.”
Alex scoffed. “It was still only an hour for us!”
You were quiet again. “So… what does this mean for us?”
Luke closed his eyes for a moment. “I… don’t know. When we realised how much time had passed, I thought… I thought maybe it’d be better to stop coming by your house. But I still love you, and want to be with you.”
Alex cleared his throat, making you look up at him. “Uh, hate to interrupt, but maybe we should give you two a moment?” He grabbed Reggie by the arm before the other boy could protest, and they both slipped out of the room.
The words started spilling out the moment the door clicked shut. “Luke, I’ve carried you with me all this time. You were my first love, and no one else ever came close. But this… this isn’t something we can just pick up again.”
Luke was quiet for a moment, and then nodded slowly, his hands falling down from your cheeks. “You’re right. We can’t.”
You felt a tear slipping down from your eye and wiped it off. “So… friends?”
He smiled a little, though it was awkward, disappointed, rigid. “Yeah. Friends.”
You knew it was a bittersweet ending for your love story that had been so dreamy and storybook-like all those years ago, but it was better this way.

They're not all mad at each other anymore!!!
Julie turned sharply, eyes flicking between her brothers in the dim glow of the streetlights. “Seriously?”
“I mean what happened sucked,” Reggie admitted. “And you should have talked it through with us.”
“But you apologized,” Alex said with a shrug. “None of us can go back and change it, but you’re still our sister.”
Luke reached out and caught Julie’s hand. “And we gotta hold onto the family we have, right?”
Julie swallowed hard and nodded. “I’m really sorry.”
Luke just pulled her into a hug, Alex and Reggie joining a moment later. Julie let herself relax into their warmth, her eyes slipping shut easily for the first time in days. After a moment, she felt Alex tapping out a beat against her back and she laughed.
“Can you,” she sang. “Can you hear me?”
(Send me a number and I'll write that many words on my WIP and show you!)
