Some of my recent coloring experiments. A lot of times things don't come out the way I planned, and it becomes important to be able to pivot (which sometimes definitely goes better than others). I like playing with sets that are hyper-colored or stylized, then working on more natural ones. I get bored making too much of the same. Honestly, I'm sharing the before and afters because I just really like seeing other people's, so I figure someone else out there like me might enjoy it.

Game: add 10 gifs from your favorite shows and tag 10 people.

Tagged: yeah, no one tagged me in this, I just keep getting notifs that people are embedding my gifs for this & I thought it looked fun.

The Expanse - It's just my favorite show ever. Probably my favorite overall group of characters ever, too.

2. Dark - An actual masterpiece.

3. Gilmore Girls - A nostalgic fall favorite that didn't age great in a lot of ways, but means a lot to me. (we don't talk about the revival).

4. Skins - An incredibly formative show for my teen years, like I wanted to be Effy so badly.

5. Game of Thrones - Despite a nosedive in quality as it progressed, season 3 alone is so absurdly good that it still wins a spot.

6. Arcane - Absolutely gorgeous to look at, and then it's actually a good show, too?? I really hope season 2 sticks the landing.

7. The Bear - I knew when the first trailer dropped that this show would be for me. I always end up crying for Tina.

8. Taskmaster - A much needed pick me up, a different genre from everything else on the list, and absolutely my happy place.

9. Julie and the Phantoms - It just inspires pure, childlike joy? And it arrived in my life at a really difficult time & reminded me to just enjoy things.

10. Shameless (US) - When it was good, it was really good. Another show with another 3rd season I adore.

This was really hard, actually! There are several shows that just missed the list. This definitely reminded me how many shows have an absolutely incredible 1-3 season run, then start losing the plot a bit. But the game is "favorite" not "best," so I decided to go with some shows that had very high highs for me, despite their low lows. There are also a few shows that I think could eventually end up top 10 for me, but they're too new for me to be sure if they stand my personal test of time.

Tagging: Anybody who sees this and wants to do it! (also tag me if you do, I'd love to see what your favorites are)!

If I have one enemy in Julie and the Phantoms, it's Nick.

"But Nick didn't do anything wrong!" 😑

That one scene in episode 5 felt like a personal attack. It's stated in episode 1 that Julie barely, if ever, talked to Nick. SO TELL ME WHY THIS BOY IS ALL UP IN HER BUSINESS BACKSTAGE BEING NOSY AF TOWARDS A GIRL HE BARELY KNOWS (and one his girlfriend has potentially unresolved beef with, at that).

Nick hyping up that performance that wasn't going to happen made the situation MORE embarrassing for Julie, in my opinion. Like, the poor girl was already gonna be embarrassed; why add Nick into a scene that already makes me feel second-hand embarrassed for Julie and add pure, unfiltered rage to it.

I physically can't watch that episode. I can quote the other episodes line for line, but episode 5? I've watched it maybe like 3 times because I skip it every time I rewatch JATP, which is at least twice a month.

I also have a grudge against him (mostly Netflix, but also him) because SPOILER ALERT!!!! He's the last face we see before the show is canceled. Is it technically Caleb? Yeah. But if he hadn't shown up to Julie's house, he wouldn't have gotten possessed, and I would have gotten a half-way satisfying ending. We did NOT need that cliffhanger. So everytime I see his face (not the actor, just Nick's face, it's weird) I get reminded that the show was canceled, and my day gets ruined.

Anyway, if Nick has no haters, then I'm dead.

Edit: just realized that if you take Nick out of the story the only thing that changes is Perfect Harmony and the cliffhanger, but you can still have PH if you tweak the performance to be with some random and with the cliffhanger we could have gotten a banger with Caleb possessing Carrie or Trevor.

Redstone Snap JATP AU

Julie And The Phantoms is my favourite show. My comfort show. And Redstone Snap is my comfort ship. So I had to mix them up.

@soemthingsparkly this for you. I know you love those two things as much as me.

Careful this post will container big spoiler for Julie And The Phantoms. If you haven't see the show and wants to watch it wait until you read this post.

Scott is Julie, a lifer (someone who is still living) who lost someone close to him that made him stop music for a while.

Joel as Alex (battery), Jimmy as Reggie (bass) and Lizzie as Luke (guitar). Mumbo isn’t on stage but he wrote all the band’s songs. They’re all ghosts.

If Scott is Julie then Martyn is Flynn (Scott’s best friend, who is a lifer but can’t see the ghosts).

For Flying Solo. The group took Scott's lyrics. And made a banger. The thing is. Mumbo wasn't there. He was panicking over everything and went out to breath. He met Grian who quickly became his best friend (yup, nothing more). And when he got back, they had a full song finished only with Scott's lyrics.

And Mumbo feels bad because he thinks they don't need him anymore. He thinks he'll get replaced. And he feels bad for thinking that. But at the same time Scott is good. His lyrics are good. Why would they need him anymore? But quickly they reassured him and soon Scott and Mumbo started writing lyrics together which got them to be closer and to develop a crush on the other.

Martyn is not able to see Mumbo at least once (he can't be seen by lifers because he's not playing with Scott), he only sees the eye contact between Scott and Jimmy while they sing.

"You~ Totally have a crush on Jimmy.

What ? No I don't."

Martyn is convinced Scott has a crush on Jimmy and Scott is just pure confusion because. No ? They're just friends ??? Also. His crush is Mumbo??????

Caleb is still Caleb. We don’t need to change him. Although I think he died a very long time ago. At a time where the Hollywood Ghost Club wasn’t called that. But something else. And that’s when Grian joined. It was called the Watchmen’s Tower (Yes I managed to tie the Watchers to a Universe without them. What will you do, hmm ? Nothing. I am the one writing this post and I will do what I want mouahahahahahaha). So yeah. Let’s say Fwhip was the other guitarist of the band when they were still alive (yes this is Bobby). But he didn’t die. He lived and recorded their songs without giving them credits. Don’t get him wrong he isn’t a bad guy he just… didn’t think this through ? He wanted the songs of his band to live on so he just recorded them. He just. Never thought of crediting them, at that time it was hurting him so much (yes this is still a dick move but hey ! I don’t think Bobby is truly bad in the show !).

So yeah, they discovered Fwhip stole their songs, they’re mad. They go hunt him. Then Grian introduces them to Cale and BOOM ! That’s how they end up with the stamp. Also. When they come back Scott is pretty mad at them because they stood him up when this night was supposed to be their first show.

Mumbo being the one who fought with his parents and left, when Scott is mad at all the ghosts, Joel, Jimmy and Lizzie show Mumbo at his parent’s house. He is crying. He misses them so much and regrets how he left. When they all go back home, Scott forgives them and they get ready for their next show.

During Finally Free, the eye contacts between Jimmy and Scott are a lot and Mumbo thinks there might be something going on between them.

During all this time, Grian sometimes spies on the ghosts because he doesn’t want his best friend to disappear. At one point Mumbo is so confused and hurt by Grian’s behavior that he only talks about him to the band (except Scott). He talks about Grian so much that the band thinks he has a crush on him.

And sorry for those who hate misunderstandings, but Scott hears the band talking about Mumbo's crush on Grian and he convinces himself it's true. So basically.

Scott thinks there's something between Mumbo and Grian. And Mumbo thinks there's something between Jimmy and Scott.

Scott thinks about Mumbo the whole time he dances with whoever is supposed to be Nick (let’s just say Sausage because Sausage and Scott’s dynamic is funny). Or just. Imagining the song. But instead of keeping it in like Julie does, he actually writes it when he comes back home

Mumbo finds Scott writing a song and asks to look at it. Scott is a bit anxious Mumbo will understand it's about him but he still lets him look. The thing is. Mumbo thinks this song is about Jimmy and not him. So while he reads it he's trying so hard not to let his feelings show. He compliments Scott on the song because even though he's a bit hurt, it's still a very good song.

Scott doesn't have the time to ask him any question or if he's alright (yeah he definitely saw the change Mumbo had while reading the song) because Mumbo just teleported away right after giving him the paper back.

At one point, Scott decides to find and give Mumbo’s parents the song he wrote about them thus making the Unsaid Emily scene. This is also the first time he heard Mumbo sing a whole ass song. It was always some bits when they were writing. Never a whole song ! And they got home together. And Mumbo got a shock because of the stamp and Scott looked so sad and angry (at Caleb) and betrayed and like his whole world shattered.

During Stand Tall. Scott sees everyone coming back and looks backstage just to see Mumbo looking at him with such a big bright smile and Scott wants to cry right there. Then when they all disappeared he wants to cry even more because “God they passed. This is it. They finished their unfinished business. God it hurts. He never got to tell Mumbo how he felt about him. And now he never will.”

The scene with the big ass hug. They all hug each other. And then Mumbo, I don't know. Maybe Mumbo stayed on the side. But soon enough he joins Scott, puts his hands on Scott's cheeks. And oh my god he can touch Scott. He can feel him. He can feel his warmth. And he just kisses him. That's something he wanted to do for a while and now he can.

He will take the chance when he has it. He doesn't know if he'll be able to touch Scott again.

Yellow Wood

Reggie Peters doesn't know where he's going in life or what he wants from it. He unfortunately has to confront it when assigned to write an essay for English class about where he wants to be in ten years. Reggie is stuck at a crossroads in life, and has no idea which way to go. Which road will he go down, and what lies down the other path?

Prologue <-AO3 link here!

IT'S HERE!

Gosh guys, this idea has been percolating in my brain all year, so I finally took NaNoWriMo as a chance to bang it out. It was a definite labour of love, and I am super stoked to finally share it with you. The story proper is finished, and it will update every Wednesday.

The story is gonna get a bit twisty, as we hop between timelines, but hopefully not too confusing.

A million thank yous, hugs, boxes of chocolates, and my eternal devotion to my editor/beta/dearest friend Ash @daintyduck99 for helping me tackle this beast and leaving me all the best squee filled comments as she went. She also made me the gorgeous moodboard you can see above, I am beside myself by how much I love it and her for making it.

Also, this work marks my 100'th fic on AO3, and my 60'th JatP fic, which is frankly, INSANE. I love you all, thanks for always reading my stuff, and I really hope you like this one!

You can check out the playlist for this fic here, and each song has lyrics that made up the chapter titles to represent the passage of time or change in circumstances, so spoiler warning and all that.

Black (stupid) songwriting journal of fate - Part I

This "Jatp/Kimi no Na wa (Your name)"-AU has been pestering me for months. Every time I watch this movie, my brain goes "JUKE", and, well ... Happy Juke Jeudi!

Part I / Part II / Part III

(Also, contains spoilers for Kimi no na wa/Your name):

It's been a year since Julie's mom passed away, and Julie's still struggling to find her feet. With music still being banned from her life, she's about to lose her spot in her school's music program. 

With the pressure from her teachers, her best friend's expectations, Carrie's bullying, and her dad's worries about her mental health, she blames her general exhaustion and anxiety when the dreams start.

In her dreams, she inhabits the body of a boy. his name's Luke; he's about her age and has a rocky relationship with his parents due to his untameable passion for music and his band, Sunset Curve. (A cruel twist of fate in Julie's eyes.)

Until Julie pieces together that they AREN'T dreams. One day, she arrives at school, and people keep whispering when she passes by, and Carrie is glaring daggers at her, and Nick, the boy she has a crush on, suddenly acknowledges her with an approving nod. Flynn files Julie in: Not only did she finally stand up to Carrie's bullying the day before, but she also "borrowed" Nick's guitar -- literally snatched it out of his hands -- to play a song in front of the entire music class, including Miss Harrison and Principal Lessa. (She didn't sing, though. But her deadline to prove herself in music class was extended.)

Flynn starts humming the song's melody, and Julie thinks it sounds oddly familiar. But she's too horrified to care a lot. (It's "Now or Never".)

Julie realizes that there are gaps in her memories -- entire days that she can't recall -- and they correlate with the nights the dreams occur (once or twice per week), concluding that while she's in Luke's body, his soul is stuck in hers. 

She also deducts that the swaps began when she started using an old, discarded songwriting journal she'd found.

Apparently, the journal belongs to Luke -- as he owns the exact same journal and the songs were all written by him, and Julie has no idea why there are two versions of the same notebook or how it came into her possession.

More importantly, the journal allows her to communicate with Luke.

They lay down rules that mostly revolve around not meddling with their private lives. But to their mutual dismay, they both tend to overstep. Luke keeps snooping around (he digs up 'Wake up') and accidentally lands Julie a date with Nick. Meanwhile, Julie tries to mend Luke's relationship with his mom. 

Their unsolicited meddling worsens things, though. Luke pressuring Julie into music just puts extra stress on her. And "Luke" (Julie) making promises on one day, then going back on them the next day, strains his relationship with his mom even more. 

Yet, as time passes and their communication via the journal intensifies, they learn more about each other and form a friendship based on support, respect, and admiration.

Julie realizes she's been sacrificing such a crucial part of her soul for over a year and, with Luke's constant encouragement, finds the strength to play "Wake up". Luke, seeing how her mom's death affected Julie and made her suffer for so long, learns that time is limited and that there might be a day when he can't fix things with his parents anymore. (But he needs music to communicate. Thus, he starts working on "Unsaid Emily".)

Their feelings for each other keep evolving, making both realize they are maybe in love. But they don't have the courage to confess their feelings yet.

Eventually, Luke invites her to a gig. Since Julie has become such an important part of his life, he wants to meet her in person and be there when they play The Orpheum and have their big breakthrough. 

When Julie arrives there on the agreed day, she finds The Orpheum destroyed. 

Two years ago, it burned down, killing a dozen people, including most members of an aspiring band called Sunset Curve, who were supposed to play their showcase that night.
