So I was thinking
That scene in episode 4 where Julie finds Unsaid Emily and just goes
"I didn't know you were such a romantic"
I MEAN WHAT IS THE CONTEXT? Why did she immediately said that?
I'm just imagining like
A missing scene with the guys maybe watching a romcom with Julie and Luke mocks her for being so emotional and romantic
Idk I just need a missing scene explaining why Julie decided to make fun of Luke for supposedly being romantic
I wanna see him being like "no I don't like romance bla bla bla"
And Julie (and the guys let's be honest I love them) making fun of him for anything that could be a little tiny bit romantic
Like this scene was just the first time but it keeps happening
Luke cried watching like Romeo and Juliet or maybe Titanic or something else and the others exchange a look before going WOW LUKE YOU'RE SO ROMANTIC
Also
When Juke get together and Luke does a little callback to these moments?
"I didn't know I was such a Romantic, Julie"
Like he WASN'T romantic but now he is?
I don't know I just wanted to see this sorry for the rambling

Stand Tall Ramble
Ok so Stand Tall gives me BIG emotions.
( the colors are significant in some places, ( but you could understand the post without them. I think it’s obvious where they’re significant, but most of the time the purple is just to show that it’s lyrics. Every so often purple just means Julie specifically, blue for Luke, pink for Alex and red for Reggie, but if you’re not sure assume purple means lyrics)
The first thing that always gets me is Julie going on alone, still teary, voice a little shaky for a measure or two but she still goes out and pours her whole heart onto that stage.
Don’t blink. No, I don’t wanna miss it
Everything has just happened so fast. She lost her mom, she lost her passion for music for a while and then all of a sudden there’s three new important and confusing people in her life. Her friendships have changed, her crushes have changed, her whole world has flipped on its head. Suddenly her music is back too.
One thing and it’s back to the beginning.
Just as quickly as she gets the boys she’s thinks she’s lost them
Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep going on never look back
And it’s one, two, three, four times
She wrote this song with the boys. This line is showing how important each member of the band is to everyone else. I would have looked to each of the boys as I counted if I were singing this song and it had gone as planned.
That I’ll try for one more night
Light a fire in my eyes
This is a decision to keep going, keep fighting. With or without the boys. FOR the boys.
I’m goin’ out of my mind.
Too much has happened at once
Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing
Ima stand tall
Ima stand tall
There’s a switch in her voice here, a sudden power. She is the last standing now, but she’s not going to let anything stop her. She knows the boys wouldn’t have let her and neither would her mom.
Whatever happens even when everything’s down
Ima stand tall
Ima stand tall
I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling
As someone who has sang and played music my entire life I can tell you that there is an emotion and a physical feeling that I can not possibly describe to you that comes with preforming.
Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing
Ima stand tall
Ima stand tall
There the feeling really hits her when she gets the reaction. She realizes that maybe she can do this.
And then Alex appears…
There’s a look in Alex’s eyes of, “ we would not have left you again.” A little smile of “ I’ve got you, just keep going”
Julie’s eyes LIGHT UP with pure unbridled hope. The tears come back in an instant because she could have done it alone, but she doesn’t have to.
And then Reggie appears too, she doesn’t have time to really react but she actually giggles a little, and the tears get bigger. Reg gives her this little smirk and he nods like, “ you’ve got it, we’ve got you. Just sing”
Right now I’m loving every minute
This song was written before but this line has a whole different feeling now than it was intended to. Originally this was, I’ve found my people, I’m back, they’re back and we’re going to take over the world. Now it’s a big feeling of, WE CAN DO THIS.
Hands down
Can’t let myself forget it, no
There a subtle defiance in that no
Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep holding on never look back
And it’s one, two, three
Julie looks to Alex and Reggie here as Luke flickers and there’s fear in everyone’s eyes but still blinding hope in Julie’s
Four times
And we linger on Luke flickering
That I’ll try for one more night
Julie is not giving up on him.
Light a fire in my eyes
I’m goin out of my mind
Luke makes it here and it’s perfect and the look in everyone’s eyes is enough to send me into a fresh wave of tears
Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Whatever happens
Even when everything's down
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
I gotta keep on dreaming
'Cause I gotta catch that feeling
Whatever happens even if I’m the last standing
Ima stand tall
Ima stand tall
But now it’s back to it’s original meaning
There’s not a last standing this time
Like I’m glowing in the dark
And they all really are
I keep on going when it’s all falling apart
Yeah I know it with all my heart
Self explanatory
The oos make me giggle so much, it’s adorable and Reggie and Julie’s friendship could be a whole other giant post. Plus musically it gets me all jittery because it’s just so good.
Never look back
Alex’s chorus means a lot to me because he just stand up and does it without a second thought and I love the idea that this is him finally listening to Reggie the beginning “ can you just own your awesomeness for once?”
Reg takes his moment and there’s something about his power note there with the stand tall building with everyone there that really gets me worked up
Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Whatever happens
Even when everything's down
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
I gotta keep on dreaming
'Cause I gotta catch that feeling
And the final chorus with just everyone’s voices means a lot because they don’t need their instruments to be the band. They’re just themselves in that moment and its so powerful
Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing
I'ma stand tall
I'ma stand tall
Everyone’s faces as they’re taking in what they’ve just done is so wonderful and the way they all look at each other is so sweet
Alex grabbing Luke’s hand HURTS
Because there are so many ways it could be: 1. They’re celebrating, this is a Luke we did it
2. The way Luke doesn’t hesitate to take it tells me he may have done this before and this is simply Alex showing his excitement ( I could give a whole rant about these two too)
3. Anxiety
4. Adrenaline
5. ( you’re getting a ramble on fear responses wether you want it or not) but Alex’s automatic fear response almost every time we see him scared ( which is often) is to reach for Luke
And the two most heartbreaking options
6. Alex isn’t sure Luke is stable enough not to flicker before they can poof out after bows so he’s trying to tether him
7. Alex isn’t sure HE is stable enough not to flicker before they can poof out after bows so he’s trying to tether himself
And then the bows and the boys disappear like they always do and Julie knows it’s different but she’s still glowing with the excitement and power of their performance that she’s blissfully oblivious to what it really meant for the boys this time and I SOB THROUGH STAND TALL JUST AS HARD AS UNSAID EMILY EVERY SINGLE TIME for these reason.

You have just think about this scene? But like really think about it?
It does such a good job at showing their relationship.
Julie goes into this scene to apologize for overstepping with his mom but then Luke tells her that he doesn’t mind it. Another thing they have in common with each other besides music is their mom’s. They both know what it’s like to lose that. “Both draw from the same pain.” To quote Julie. It’s such a tender moment between them when Julie smiles when she says “You always make me feel closer to my mom, wanted to do the same in return.”
It shows their common link and how much they do have in common. How they’re a pillow for each other for that pain in their life. How they can bond to each other with that pain they have.
When they reach for each other’s hand, Luke reached first, reaching for her hand to let her know that he minds not all that she ‘overstepped’. She had her hands together, possibly as a “closed off position” to show that she felt bad for overstepping but then goes to reach for his hand. She reaches because she realizes that if he’s reaching out, she’s going to take it. Almost as if to say “if he’s reaching first then that means he’s okay with the overstepping”. But then,
Her hand falls through his.
A painful reminder of the reality of what they are. A human and a ghost. A forbidden love.
Julie turns away, like saying ‘righttttt.’ Meanwhile Luke rolls his eyes and points out what they are, “This is an interesting little relationship you and I have.” And the looks they exchange,
Accepting what they are but that doesn’t mean they still can’t have “an interesting little relationship.” It’s the acknowledgment that they know, they are aware that this shouldn’t be a thing with them but it’s not stopping them.
Then when Julie tells him how they’re trending on YouTube. It’s another reminder,
He shrugs, she just said something that he has no idea what she means. Another reminder that they’re both from different times. Different decades. But Julie clarifying “That’s a good thing.” And saying that they’re bound to get calls from agents now. She’s hopeful for the future. Their (granted the band’s but it ruins my point just go with it) future.
That even though, they’re different. That even though, they’re from completely different times. That even though, they shouldn’t work, it will work.
They will work.

I spent the last 2 days thinking about Juke singing Can I have this dance from High school musical and I CAN'T STOP
Like imagine the guys hanging out with Julie and they just have this couple of hours every week when she shows then movies and TV shows and songs from the last 25 years that they NEED to know cause they're so GOOD and she likes them SO MUCH
And one of this days they binge watch 3 HSM movies
And later Julie is by herself in the piano singing Troy and Gabriela's duet and Luke just
Poofs in and for a second he just stand there because this girl has the voice of a freaking ANGEL and then he stars singing with her because WHY NOT
And we could an End of Edge of great moment with him seating on the piano bench with her and both of them just looking at each other and...
Idk I'm freaking out thinking about them with this song gonna out it in my jatp inspired Playlist now
