Okay But Can I Just Say Another Thing With Nick ... He Literally Shows No Interest Julie, Like Pretty

can't wait to have the cast of a kids' show about ghosts, sad bizaardvark girl and italian rockers with eyeliner as my top spotify artists this year

i'm not gonna lie i've always leaned into my headcanon that sally, and therefore percy, was of latin american descent. but after seeing walker scobell in the Adam Project i can really see him doing a great job in this role! his comedic timing is fantastic and he has an air of maturity for his age, plus i've seen that he's been a pjo fan for a while, which is always great!

bottom line is he's a kid who just got cast in probably one of the next iconic roles of the decade, it's a big opportunity with a lot of pressure. i hope that everyone supports him accordingly, and that his experience with the project is positive. so exciting!!

what she says: i'm fine

what she means: i still can't believe simon's fucking "friends" abandoned him after he was traumatically outed to the entire school, over something as petty as high school relationships. they didn't even take an "i love you but i'm mad at you" approach, they forced him to face returning to school alone, even sit alone at lunch in total isolation. The hate incident happens in the cafeteria and they don't do ANYTHING. they don't stand up and say anything, they don't support simon, they don't even try to stop it. they just sit silently and watch as simon, and simon ALONE, confronts his attackers in front of everybody. yet somehow the narrative portrays them as The Good Guys, the heroes of the story who have nothing to apologize for.

I can’t explain how much I love Julie and the Phantoms. Like it filled the Trollhunters/Wizards hole in my heart from last month, which is only worth mentioning because I was crying for days.

I need it to be renewed ASAP!!!

Please watch this incredible show, it’s got literally everything I would want in a show targeted towards kids (spoilers):

No douche-y or toxic masculine traits in the main male characters. I half expected the guys to be the typical bros when I started watching (since I decided to watch after 5 seconds into the trailer), but they weren’t and instead so adorable and supportive of each other.

A rival character that wasn’t villainized with her femininity. I really appreciated how Carrie was more than your typical rival/ex-best friend/ popular girl because that character is usually untalented/has bad songs (which doesn’t make sense given why she’s popular), only hates the main character out of jealousy and insecurity, and is very feminine to juxtapose the main. Instead, Carrie is seen as talented and no one mocks her more bubblegum pop music that a rock band could easily make fun of (but the band doesn’t and even dances along to it), and mentions how she’s worked hard on her music and choreography. 

The lgbt+ rep. I will admit, as much as I was excited that Alex has 1) gay and 2) out and 3) not one, present, had a problem with it, I was a little sad because he’s a ghost and I thought we would never see a gay love story for him as a ghost. Boy, was I wrong! I knew instantly that Alex was going too be awed by Willie with that slo-mo shot of him taking off his helmet. And then there were so many moments where I was thinking “Now, kiss” because of how close and intense they were.

Latinx rep. Having poc in lead roles is so important to me and I was excited and surprised that both female lead and her best friend were poc, instead of one of them being white. I loved that because it also means that their families will be poc. I will admit, I think it would also be great of the guys were less white, but I think the cast is great.

Incredible music. I told myself to finish watching before looking up the soundtrack and listening to it, but I couldn’t help myself.

Amazing outfits. Well, most of Julie and Flynn’s outfits and most of the bands’. I think my favorite of Julie’s in the camo jumpsuit from the 2/3 episode with her hair up, it was a nice transition from the more comfortable, passive outfit from the first episode to her fighting for her spot in the music program. (also, is anybody else confused by her school’s music program? my hs was a creative/performing arts hs and you literally had to apply as one of the majors, so being removed from yours would probably mean being kicked out)

Thank you if you read this unnecessary long rant about my new favorite show.

You can only reblog this on Nov 16 2023💥

Kudos to that stagehand that seemed really invested while Julie was performing by herself in Stand Tall

Did I make an American Vandal vine compilation? Maybe. Is it the greatest thing I’ve ever done? Probably

so yeah

relates to 1 step forward, 3 steps back and enough for you except for not with an ex but with mommy issues
