#jukebox baby

[onlygenxhere]

since the juke baby prompts have been tugging at my heartstrings… “Luke, are you not nervous to see how she will handle having to share you with her baby sister?” ✨💫

“Luke, aren’t you nervous to see how she’ll handle having to share you with her baby sister?” Julie whispered as she leaned over the back of the couch looking down at her husband with their four year old sound asleep on his chest.

He bit his lip as he gazed up at her looking guilty for letting Violet fall asleep on him for the second time this week. “It was nearly a year before this one wanted much to do with me.” He ran his fingers gently through her light brown curls. “I’m pretty sure I’m the one that’s going to be feeling left out.”

Julie reached down and ran her fingers through Luke’s hair much like he was their daughters’. “You’ll only be a little left out till I’m not a walking slurpee machine again.”

He chuckled.

They both froze as Violet stirred for a moment before burying her head back under Luke’s chin.

Julie shook her head smiling at her little family before standing up and stretching her back, her large pregnant belly protruding over the back of the sofa.

Luke reached up and placed his hand on her belly as she covered it with her own.

“Violet is just as excited to meet her baby sister as I am.” He looked up at Julie with so much love it brought tears to her eyes. “We’ll still have time for this.” He kissed the top of their daughter’s head. “I’m not worried about it at all.”

The baby in her belly kicked their hands and Julie smiled. “You’re right. I’m worrying about nothing.” She picked his hand up and leaned down to kiss his knuckles. “Go put our daughter to bed and come sleep with me.”

He pulled her hand to his own lips and kissed her ring finger right over her wedding band, “Sure thing boss.”

TOMORROW! Thursday June 20 — I’ll be singing on this Suicide tribute show, along with a mass of hep noisemakers. Not to mention, it’s the book release party for the brand new Alan Vega biography, Infinite Dreams, written by author Laura Davis-Chanin with Vega’s wife/collaborator, Liz Lamere. Lamere will be reading at the show tomorrow too.

I feel sad for people without an internal jukebox cause they can't just pull up the Voyager theme at will to make tasks more majestic and sweeping

[prince-ically]

The NSS, my versions of the Agents!

From Left to Right it's Jukebox (Neo3), Alani (Agent 3/Captain), Valo (Agent 8), and Morrigan (Agent 4).

Jukebox Argos, They/them, 12 years old.

Inktoling, never knew their parents. Grew up with their adoptive salmonid brother Prince. Later adopted by Alani, Valo, and Morrigan.

Newest agent on the block, also one of the most beat up both before and after Alterna. Shows signs of mild fuzziness.

Was a very early bloomer when it came to their kid form, quite tall for their age as well.

Despite their size and age they are quite strong, their weapon of choice is the Heavy Splatling Deco.

A very curious kid, usually never in the same spot for very long.

Alani Cuttlefish-Argos, She/they, 21 years old.

Inktoling, Never knew her octoling father and has a strained relationship with her inkling mother. Was adopted into the Cuttlefish family by Callie and her parents. Very close to both Callie and Marie.

Still adjusting to the role of Captain, it's... odd. She doesn't fully feel like she's deserving of the role but still tries her best.

Due to the effects of Sanitization her right side can get drippy when overly stressed, upset, or ill. Completely blind in her right eye to boot.

Prefers to go with their Hero shot.

Valo Ida, She/her (Transfem), 21 years old.

Octoling, was raised by her parents in the domes with her younger brother August. Upon reaching the surface with no memories Marina and Pearl took her in with Marina letting her take the last name Ida.

Struggles with memory issues to this day and her long term memory, The Memverse has been helping tremendously.

Fingertips, eyes, and a large scar on her back are permanently tinged teal from the sanitized ink from the metro.

Despite not officially being in the NSS Valo offered to be on "Standby", wanting to help when particularly stubborn issues arise.

Favours her Octobrushes. Her preferred style of fighting is a fast and agile one.

Morrigan Kohl, She/he, 20 years old.

Inkling, raised by his older brother Damien along with his little sister Alice after and accident. Has a close relationship with Marie and considers her family.

Interested in engineering and picked up a few things from Sheldon but could never sit still long enough to listen fully, mostly self taught.

Ink burns on her hands, neck, and face from the fight with Octavio, turns out holding experimental Rainmakers so close to your face isn't a good idea.

For some reason her ink permanently glitters after Octo Canyon. Nothing seems to change this but it doesn't seem to hurt Morrigan.

A jack of all trades with weapons but if he had to chose one it'd be his Custom Blaster.

I can't get over the fact that literally THE defining feature of Fifteen's TARDIS is a jukebox and then they did literally nothing with it lmao

Johnny Paycheck - My Baby Don't Love Me Anymore (1967)

Post Valentine's Day blues? I recently got my hands on the LP Jukebox Charlie and Other Songs That Make the Jukebox Play, and it's a good one. Hard honky tonk with Lloyd Green on steel pedal.

Teardrops scattered all over the floor

my most coherant ‘season one’ thought is that rtd needs to hire better editors and remember what pacing is

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Swept Away

November 17, 2024 | Broadway | Longacre Theatre | Matinee | Musical | 1H 35M

If there's one thing to be said of this show, it's that it certainly offers up an immersive experience. After a dragging ninety-five minutes, I too felt as if I were experiencing the inescapable boredom of being adrift at sea. This is like if you took the Life of Pi play from two seasons ago, stripped it of what little narrative it had (not to mention the puppets), and instead presented a "lost at sea" story bereft of all dramatic tension, characterization, and human interest. Oh, and it's a jukebox. Which explains a lot. Swept Away is the story of a whaling ship that meets a sad end and a small group of survivors that resort to exactly what you'd expect to stay alive. For an hour, a bunch of undeveloped men without names stomp around, and then the survivors use the last half to warble out a few bluesy tunes while they slowly starve to death. And is any of this remotely compelling? Nope. The book deliberately omits anything that might provide audiences with some semblance of emotional attachment to any of the men. Most of the chorus don't speak and only sing as one big group. They are indistinguishable and when they all die, it's hardly worth shedding a tear over. The four principles are likewise poorly written, and despite the stakes literally being life or death, they feel so abysmally low. And before you ask, no, I'm not biased against an all-male cast without a lady in sight. Not even a crew of lesbians could make this show sail.

The music is selected from the Avett Brothers' catalogue, and that must explain why half of it is so anachronistic. I didn't realize early-2000s folk-rock was popular in the whaling days. The entire music portion is inappropriate for what little story they've cobbled together. The dialogue is either ripped from a flowery 19th century classic, or garbled drunken nonsense. As for the survival portion? Not only is it boring, it's riddled with more holes than the vessel that sank. Surviving sixteen days without a drop of water or any food (not even any mention of catching minnows to chow on or drinking piss, so like...what are we doing here?) is so beyond the pall even an elementary school writer knows better. One character is said to have been crushed under a masthead and barely breathing, yet survives over three weeks. Sure. The performances are uneven and muddied, and I'm frankly disappointed they didn't all just die faster.

So, aside from the trashfire of a book, and the ill-conceived music selection, why am I not rating this one lower? Well, let me tell you about the technical design. What an absolute thrill. Rachel Hauck has done it again and created another spellbinding set reveal for the ages. That the sub-thirty-second transition is the only source of entertainment is unfortunate. The sound and lighting further support this exquisite set design. And Broadway gets to continue its streak of one show per season that features projected waves on the stage floor. Woo-hoo.

Verdict: Enjoyable, But Left No Lasting Impression

Chapters: 6/6

Fandom: Julie and The Phantoms (TV 2020)

Rating: Not Rated

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Relationships: Julie Molina/Luke Patterson

Characters: Julie Molina, Luke Patterson, Alex Mercer (Julie and The Phantoms), Reggie Peters (Julie and The Phantoms) Additional Tags: Christmas fic, Christmas Magic, lots and lots of magic

Summary:

After her mother's death, the holidays were difficult for Julie. Just when she finally thinks she is ready to embrace them again she is slapped with a cruel disappointment that leaves her swearing off Christmas and it's supposed magic forever.

Luke has always loved Christmas, because it's literally magical for him and his family in a way most post people can't imagine. Unexpectedly he finds himself facing down a tight and dangerous deadline, with a nearly impossible solution.

Maybe fate will show both of them the real magic of the holiday season.
