Is Julie and the Phantoms Appropriate for Kids? Yes, yes It is.
Julie and the phantoms is my current favorite show and I’ve shared it with my mom, who then shared it with her friends and co-workers. One of my mom’s co-workers asked her if it would be appropriate for her granddaughter, who’s in kindergarten. After mentioning some of the more emotional themes, loss of a parent, grief, talking about death, bullying, and some potentially scary supernatural themes, and learning that her granddaughter watched Harry Potter 1 and disney movies, and was fine, my mom said it would be appropriate and to watch it with her granddaughter as she would enjoy it as well. 
My mom then asked me what I thought, and after thinking about it, I agree. I don’t have kids myself, but I was one once and I would have loved Julie and the Phantoms then as much as I do now. Yeah parents might want to watch it first and then decide if their young kids, or kids who have experienced loss in their life, should watch it, or watch it with them and be there to answer questions. But kids a bit older, like ten and up could probably handle watching it alone and be fine.
I did look it up, it’s rated TV-G, and it makes sense. There’s no sexual scenes or inappropriate language, no real violence. There’s no talk of sex, no one pressures anyone to have sex, there’s not even any kissing! It doesn’t get much more G-rated then that in my opinion.
I made the mistake of googling and reading parent reviews. Some were very positive. Others mentioned the skimpy costumes of Caleb’s dancers and Dirty Candy, which I can see, but it’s all for performance and it’s nothing you wouldn’t see from a Vegas show, or going to the beach. Some people mentioned the guys mooning Trevor, but no butts are seen, so to me it’s fine.
The one review that made me angry and a little upset was from a parent who disapproved of Alex being gay and having a crush on a guy. That it wasn’t “in the background” and kept coming back as a plot point, that they weren’t expecting to be “forced” into that conversation by a G rated show.
Seriously?
Having a gay character or two does not make it rated R people! 
The parent said they were watching this with their daughters, one a 13 year old, which makes having canonically gay characters even more important. One of their daughters is in middle school, they most likely know someone who is in the LGBT+ community, a friend, classmate, teacher, a friend’s parents or siblings. There’s also a possibility that one of their daughters might realise they‘re LGBT+ sometime in their life. Seeing Alex, a normal teenaged ghost who happens to be gay, who isn’t stereotyped, has their own storyline, and isn’t there only to cheerlead for the main heterosexual couple, is important for kids. So when they meet or befriend or crush on someone who is gay or on the LGBT+ spectrum they have a positive reference, instead of all the negative or indifferent ones from the media and real life.  
Alex is gay, it is said in the second episode of the show, it is mentioned pretty casually by another character as well as the fact that his parents did not react well when he told them. His sexual orientation is not forgotten or swept under the rug after that. He meets another boy, Willie, another ghost, and develops a crush on him that is returned. Willie and Alex have very sweet, cute, and relatable feelings for each other. They spend time together, talk to each other, and get to know each other throughout the season. They don’t put a label on the relationship because it’s very new and they haven’t know each other for a long time. 
This show is so important, Alex and Willie are important for kids to see. For LGBT+ kids to see. That it is ok to like someone who’s the same gender as you, that that crush or relationship is not wrong, and that even if your parents, your family won’t accept you, other people will.
Alex and Willie being gay is a reason to watch the show, not one to stop watching the show or not let your kids watch it.
Yes it could spark conversations and questions, but that’s a good thing. Parents should be talking about this stuff with their kids. Kids should be able to come to their parents and feel safe and comfortable enough to ask.
I’m 24 and I cannot remember a show I watched before the age of ten that was meant for kids and had canonically gay characters.
I never had a conversation with my parents about LGBT+ people when I was a kid. I learned about that from school, the internet, and a few shows I wasn’t supposed to watch. Not many of them were positive representations. And I had questions, but from the way my parents talked I never felt comfortable enough to ask them.
I wish that Julie and the Phantoms existed when I was a kid. And I hope that the parents out there aren’t shying away from their kids’ questions after watching the show. Embrace the conversation, learn about your kids, help them feel safe and loved.
Watch Julie and the Phantoms, listen to the soundtrack, rock out and have fun, watch it with your kids, talk about it with your kids.

Welcome to my fic for the JATP Big Bang 2021!! I had such a wonderful and supportive team and I’m so grateful to have been able to participate in my first fandom event with them by my side :D I hope you all enjoy!
Title: used to the turbulence i wore long sleeves Author: ChickWithThePurpleGuitar Cheerleader: Sunnie aka @burntchromas Artist: G aka @sunsetcurvecuddles  Word Count: 6344 Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply; Emotional Hurt/Comfort Link to art: G made me this incredible playlist! See her tumblr for the tracklist organized by scene!
Summary:  Usually, Luke would rather die than lounge around in long sleeves—they make him feel trapped and constricted, make his arms feel itchy and uncomfortable. He likes his limbs to be free, likes to feel the air on his skin, likes to be able to stretch and move and get messy without ruining his clothes.But on nights like this, when he just needs to feel like something safe and warm is giving him a hug without having to actually go and hug somebody, he puts his dad’s flannel on.Because sometimes, Luke wants to be held without actually having to be touched. When he’s scared or upset and hands feel like they burn on his skin, sleeves are safe. Sleeves help. -- Or, 5 times Luke wore sleeves when he was uncomfortable, and 1 time he wore them when he wasn't.
I hope you all enjoy! Thank you again to my AMAZING team for helping me through this process, I love you both so much! Taglist under the cut:

Daisy is precious, and also a mood. I just rambled on about the Netflix adaption of Julie and the Phantoms* to my mother (derogatory fhghf) for about ten minutes.
*Julie and the Phantoms is an American Drama-comedy adaptation of a Brazilian show of the same name. Set in 2020, it follows teenager Julie who struggles to re-discover her passion for music after the death of her mother. Finding a DVD of a band’s (Sunset Curve) music in a box of her mom’s things, she accidentally manages to bring out the spirts of Sunset Curve from limbo, who had died in the mid 90s due to food poisoning. Ghost teenagers Reggie, Alex and Luke help Julie battle her stage fright and come to terms with her grief. They eventually start a band called Julie and the Phantoms, hence the name. The only time the Sunset Curve trio becomes visible is when they’re performing music with Julie, who manages to convince other people they’re simply holograms. It’s rated TV-G, but, eh, it could be rated PG, in my opinion-
I’m sorry for rambling fhfhf, see, Daisy’s a mood xD
as always, daisys a relatable icon we love to see it
but cool cool ive heard of the show before bc i knew people who watched the og brazilian version of it n stuff, i havent seen it though so i dont have an opinion on it

Hello there friends!! @suckerforpsychos and I did a thing. This is probably the best fic I’ve ever writen, and y’all should read it. Ruke fic!!
RATED E  *Contains explicit sexual content, read under your own accord* 
Summary: 
He was a jock and he was a nerd… Could we make it any more obvious? OR Luke is the quarterback of the college’s team and Reggie is the nerd who caught his attention. Fuck buddies happens, but maybe they want a little bit more than just a few fucks around. How bad could that end? Well… Probably with lots of hurt feelings.

The owner of Eats&Beats offered us a full set tonight. About ten or eleven songs, actually. I was hoping… you could be there?”
“A whole set?! Luke, that’s amazing!” Julie exclaimed when she pulled away. He kept his arms around her, his thumbs making circles on her waist. “Of course I’ll be there!”
Luke smiled softly at her, watching her excitement for him. He pulled her a little bit closer to him as he said, “And then, I thought, I could maybe buy you dinner? You know, after?”
Written for Jukebox Appreciation Week day 5: Eats and Beats Day! I'm posting early because I'm going on a road trip and I won't be able to post on Friday.

toothache of the mind
ship: peterpatter
rating: g
word count: 1938
tags: canon compliant, pre-canon, high school, 1990s, best friends, feelings realization, pining
Reggie gets braces for his sweet sixteen.
He doesn’t tell anyone―not even his best friends in the whole wide world. So when he walks into homeroom the Tuesday after his birthday, Luke nearly topples out of his chair at the sight of the metal wrapped around Reggie’s adorable little snaggletooth. Alex may or may not be hyperventilating, but Luke wouldn’t know. He’s distracted.
Reggie, for his part, is acting like Luke’s world hasn’t just been tilted on its axis in a dangerous way. “Hey, guys,” he says nonchalantly. “Sup?”
Alex recovers much quicker than Luke, though there’s still a glint of concern in his eyes. They both know how self-conscious Reggie can be, especially about his smile, so he treads carefully. “Hey, Reginald. Do anything fun for your birthday?”
They had their own party on Friday after school―Luke gave Reggie a new studded strap for his bass because the one he’d found in Bobby’s garage had started to look pretty sad―but Reggie’s parents are the type to force family time onto him any chance they get. Luke has a sneaking suspicion they only do it so they can use Reggie against each other in whatever asinine argument comes up that day, but it’s not like he can really do anything about it. None of them can, so Reggie is unfortunately left to his own devices when it comes to compulsory dysfunctional family celebrations. “Not really,” he says in lieu of giving any actual details; he’ll tell them eventually, but a crowded classroom is not ideal for dishing out his personal drama. “Got braces.” He shrugs, like his mom hasn’t made him feel like shit about his less than perfect teeth for most of his childhood. Definitely since Luke’s known him, anyway, and they’ve been friends since they were ten.
“Oh, did you?” Alex asks, and it sounds borderline sarcastic but he holds back most of his usual bite. “Let’s see ‘em, then.” He holds an arm out in a grand gesture like he’s giving Reggie the floor, and Reggie flashes the most hesitant smile Luke’s ever seen on him.
Luke swears his heart stops, but Alex is once again carrying the conversation so he does his best to tune in. “Oh, nice,” Alex says, approving of the red brackets stuck to the front of Reggie’s teeth with a slight nod.
Reggie returns the gesture, and he looks considerably more relaxed now that he knows his friends won’t shun him for something this mundane. “Thanks,” he tells Alex before turning to face Luke, and he looks a little apprehensive, like maybe Luke should get his brain to reboot so he can offer some reassuring words instead of just staring like a total weirdo.
Luke wants to say something about how red looks good on him, or how it’s cool that it’ll match his favourite flannel, or maybe he’d settle for even just a supportive thumbs up. What actually comes out of his mouth is, “How long do you have to wear them?”
Reggie gives him a funny look, head tilted and brow furrowed. “Only like, a year,” he answers anyway, and Luke wants to scream.
Thankfully, the teacher chooses that moment to draw their attention to the front of the room, and Reggie turns around in his seat so Luke can only see the back of his head. Luke sighs in relief, sinking further into his chair till his limbs are sprawled out into the aisle, accepting his defeat. It’s gonna be a long year.
-
Luke decidedly does not address the issue after that day. The issue being that weird fluttery feeling he gets in his chest every time Reggie smiles at him, or laughs, or talks, or breathes. Basically any time he sees the glint of metal in Reggie’s mouth, really.
It’s not like this is a new development, exactly; Luke has always had a bit of a soft spot for Reggie, a little bit of weakness. In the six years they’ve known each other, he can’t recall a time that Reggie just existing didn’t make his brain static out. The braces just made him recognize what’s always been true, even if he still doesn’t know how to make sense of it.
Normally he’d talk to his best friends about whatever’s on his mind, but he can’t very well articulate a dilemma he can’t comprehend to begin with. Plus, he doubts Alex would be any help, considering he’s got his own set of issues to work through, and he’d rather die than bring it up with Reggie himself. And as for Bobby, well. Bobby’s got the emotional depth of a puddle. So, naturally, he does the only logical thing there is to do: he writes.
He figures if Reggie’s smile is stuck in his head like a song, he might as well make it one. It’s what he’s good at, and it gives him a false sense of separation from the issue that grants a certain clarity he can’t get any other way. He jots down pages and pages of lyrics, curled up in his bed late one night, fingers itching for his guitar even though he knows his mom would kill him if she caught him playing at 1am again. So he just sits cross-legged on his comforter, hunched over his ratty old notebook, scrawling cliche lines about green eyes and freckles and an endearingly crooked canine.
It’s the sappiest thing he’s ever written. When he reads over it before school the next morning, he knows he’s well and truly fucked.
-
Reggie plops down into the dip in the center of the studio couch, inadvertently leaning onto Luke’s shoulder. “You working on a new song?” he asks, tilting his chin at the notebook on Luke’s lap like the question needs clarification.
Luke nods even as he scrambles to shut the book, shuffling loose papers to stuff them between the creased cover. “Uh,” he stammers, biting his lip. “Yeah, I am.”
Reggie just nods back, averting his eyes to look up at the loft when he realizes that Luke doesn’t want him to see the song. “Rad. What's it called?” He glances at Luke, offering a comforting smile that says Luke can tell him as much or as little as he wants.
And well, that's the thing. Luke hasn't given it a name yet―the song, or the bewildering cocktail of feelings that inspired it to begin with. So he looks up from his scratchy handwriting to Reggie’s lopsided grin and says the first thing his useless brain can come up with. “Crooked Teeth.”
“Oh.” Reggie’s smile slides right off his face and Luke realizes what he's done half a second too late. Reggie bites his lip self-consciously, fidgeting with the sleeves of the flannel tied around his waist as Luke scrambles to backtrack into less sensitive territory.
“It's about Bobby,” he blurts unwittingly. And technically speaking, it is a little bit about Bobby, mostly because it's a little bit about the whole band, seeing as they’re mentioned in one line of the second chorus. But Bobby’s not the point of the song, not by a long shot. Luke decides Reggie doesn't need to know that, though. Especially not when his face lights up at the revelation, conspiratorial eyebrow raised like Luke’s letting him in on some great secret.
“Oh, snap! Well, I won't tell him, but don't let him find those lyrics.” Reggie winks, and it's not like it’s an unfamiliar sight, but Luke’s heart stutters out of time all the same. He's just glad Reggie isn’t the type to ask to see a song before Luke’s ready to share it; Luke doubts he'll ever be ready to share this particular piece, but if he does show it to Reggie, it'll be his choice.
He laughs halfheartedly, more a forceful exhale than anything else, and lands a playful punch to Reggie’s bicep. “Sure, man.”
Reggie just smiles wider. It feels like a kick straight to Luke’s solar plexus.
-
“You told him it’s about Bobby?” Alex asks, but what Luke hears is, you’re an idiot. Luke looks down at his best friend―he used to consider Reggie his best friend too, but he thinks maybe Reggie is in a category all his own at this point―and frowns. “He got his braces off before we even met him.” Alex stands up, walking around his drum kit to pace the floor. “And you told Reggie it’s called Crooked Teeth before you said that? Dude, you know how insecure he is about―”
“Yeah, Al, I know,” Luke huffs, cutting him off. It’s not the title Luke would've consciously chosen, but it's weirdly fitting, in a sort of convoluted way. Like, maybe Reggie’s teeth weren’t the sole catalyst for this whole...whatever this is, but they definitely played a major part. Luke’s really gonna miss Reggie’s snaggletooth, okay? He resents Reggie’s parents for a lot of reasons, but forcing him to get braces instead of a real birthday present is pretty damn high on the list.
Alex, with all his anxiety-induced powers of perception, notices Luke’s internal struggle and momentarily stops wearing a hole in the floor. “You’re kinda wiggin’ out, man. Chill.” He holds his hands out in what’s meant to be a placating gesture, but the drumsticks in his fists sort of ruin the effect.
“You’re one to talk,” Luke mumbles, but he doesn’t mean it, and Alex knows that. He’s just confused, and stressed, and generally unsure what to do with his recent epiphany. “What should I do?” he asks louder, eyes pleading.
Alex goes back to nervously lapping the room, and Luke picks at a loose string on his guitar strap just to have something to do. “I dunno,” Alex says after what could very well be an eternity. “But I think you’d feel better if you told him.”
Luke’s eyes shoot up to meet Alex’s gaze, brow furrowing involuntarily. “You what?”
Alex walks over, planting his feet in front of Luke, clapping a hand on Luke’s shoulder that isn’t holding his guitar strap up. “You’re clearly upset about this, Lucas. Tell him.”
Luke is shaking his head before Alex has even finished his sentence. “Not happening.” He folds his arms like a petulant child, but it loses its effectiveness when his guitar gets in the way, a sad thump echoing through the room. “I wouldn’t know what to say, anyway.”
Alex cocks an eyebrow with a pointed look at the notebook sitting on top of Luke’s amp. “I think you already said it.”
Luke follows his line of sight, eyes landing on the folded corner of a piece of paper sticking out from all the others. He already knows what’s written on it―has the words memorized by now. They were written on his heart long before he put them to the page, anyway.
Bobby bursts into the studio then, Reggie in tow, and the moment is broken. They’re laughing about something Bobby said, and Reggie is as beautiful as ever as he throws his head back, and Luke thinks that maybe one day he’ll get the courage to tell him how he feels. He’ll ask Alex to work with him on the music to go with his lyrics, maybe even get Bobby to help with the melody. He’ll throw rocks at Reggie’s window and serenade him from his front lawn like they do in the movies, and his friends will back him up, and it’ll be perfect.
For now, he needs to focus on perfecting the songs they already have. They’ve got a show at the Orpheum next summer to prepare for.

Should you watch Julie and the Phantoms?
A post by someone who just binged all of Julie and the Phantoms
Julie and the Phantoms is not a masterpiece. It’s got some rough around its edges. There are people who will not be able to derive joy from it. That being said I have derived a lot of joy from it, and I think it’s possible this little ray of a show might bring you joy, too. So if that might be the case, I’m here to help you figure that out.
Also I want people to watch it so it gets a second season.
What is Julie and the Phantoms?
Without major spoilers: Julie and the Phantoms is a G-rated Netflix show about a 17 year old girl starting a band with the ghosts of a group who died tragically in 1995, who can only be seen and heard by others when they are performing with her.
You might want to watch it if
1. You like Kenny Ortega stuff
You have definitely seen something of Kenny Ortega’s. A lot of people love him. A lot of people hate him. Personally I find him to be hit or miss, but if you’ve ever been a fan, you’ll want to give this show a try. Kenny Ortega stuff includes
Dirty Dancing (choreography)
Newsies
Hocus Pocus
The High School Musical Trilogy
The Descendants Trilogy
2. You like Netflix family friendly stuff
Netflix originals are increasingly building a brand and tone for themselves, especially when it comes to sentimental/sweet stuff aimed to families. If you liked the following shows for their tone or target audience, maybe see if you like Julie and the Phantoms too.
The Babysitters Club
One Day At A Time
The Worst Witch
Anne with an E
3. You like some occasionally campy or hokey genre TV.
If you’re anything like me, maybe you sometimes love watching a show that doesn’t always quite hit the mark because it’s got a premise and cast and heart that make up for it, and also you just think more TV could stand to be a little weirder and less serious. If you liked the following shows, maybe you’ll have what it takes to embrace the cheese of Julie and the Phantoms
Merlin (BBC)
Wizards vs Aliens
The Librarians
Supergirl / The Flash
Other things that might draw you to the series
WOC in the lead!!!
Gay romance!!!
The 90s aesthetic!!!
Ghosts!!!
Very dumb jokes that make you angry you laughed!!!
Please enjoy it! It is very cute! Thank you!

I was already planning on watching Julie and the Phantoms, but your tags have made me 110% more intrigued.
Okay anon LET ME PITCH THIS SHOW TO YOU bc this is a thing I love doing.
So first of all: this is a Kenny Ortega production for Young People, it’s rated TV-G, some of the teen actors are actual teens BE APPROPRIATE.
Secondly: it’s not like, good? But it’s also amazing. If we’re grading this on a spectrum from High School Musical to Descendents, I’d say it manages to hit the emotional beats consistent with a High School Musical 3, with the watchability of Descendants 3, but the weird and earnest heart of High School Musical 2.
Except not actually any of those things because the premise is GHOST BOY BAND and you have to just kind of. Open your heart to that journey from minute one. Not only are you asked to accept GHOST BOY BAND as the fundamental premise, you also have to accept that they are supposed to be a “rock band” from 1995 and that every single person involved in making this film is really banking on their target audience not having any idea what actual rock music from 1995 sounded like. You are asked to accept that they are a grunge band emerging from the post-Nirvana scene and yet somehow they sound like the Click Five and Busted and sometimes if things get real spicy the Plain White T’s mashed together.
(Like, musically I am never getting over this?)
(There is also an Evil Ghost who is almost certainly supposed to be a pared-down, no-drug-references family-friendly Brendon Urie, but if he somehow was from the 1920s? and this is DOUBLY ABSURD because they make a reference to actual human rock star Brendon Urie in the movie and I feel like, somehow, they owe him a hundred thousand dollars. For something. I don’t know what.)
Anyway. The songs are, despite all of the above, truly excellent and crushable pop singles and there are so many of them because it’s - like it’s serialized into 30 minute episodes but it’s also kind of not. It’s just a four and a half hour movie cut into little mini-breaks, and as a result really lends itself to being watched back to back. 
There is an actual emotional core, and Kenny Ortega is always best when he can make movies about real feelings (unlike say idk Descendants) and I think that is why this got me even though I’m an old person who remembers what 1995 sounded like and knows it was not fictional rock and roll band Sunset Curve. The ultimate core is just like. Music is important. Making music feels good and is healing and brings people together. There are also a lot of very genuine beats about like, grief and loss and family and the youth actress who plays Julie is really excellent in it when it counts.
There is also like. IDK if you can call it a love triangle, but they’re trying their hardest. There is drama, I guess, between a floppy-haired ginger teen that my wife and I started calling White Bread Sandwich and one of the Ghost Teens and - it’s whatever. You can be whatever about it. I still don’t know any of the Teen Boy Character names, they could basically all be named Jake? I don’t think any of them are named Jake but they’re all, you know. Present. Very adequate.
There are also baby gays and like. I will just tell you right now that there is absolutely ZERO kissing in this movie, so they don’t kiss just like everyone else doesn’t kiss but I am VERY salty about them in particular because they had the one arc where I think a kiss would have actually created some meaningful narrative payoff but whatever. WHATEVER, there are some extremely tender gay boy feelings and they’re very chaste and Disney but still shockingly affecting and cute.
ANYWAY: this show is beautiful nonsense, it’s light and fluffy and poppy and the worldbuilding doesn’t make a lick of sense but it’s not as egregious as Descendants and it was kind of exactly what I needed to watch right now. Maybe it is for you too?

HEY, ANDI MACK, DOAFP, HSMTMTS, ETC. PEOPLE!!! I GOT A NEW SHOW FOR Y’ALL TO LOVE!!!
Julie and the Phantoms is a Netflix original which literally JUST came out. The show is about a girl who, after losing her mother a year ago, rediscovers a love for music with the help of three ghosts from a 90s band whose time was cut short. It’s rated TV-G, is directed by Kenny Ortega (HSM!), has themes of found family and dealing with grief, and is all around adorable.
REASONS TO WATCH:
1. GAY REP!!!
The show features a gay character as one of its leads, who gets his own romantic interest and deals with shared storylines beyond that. The only homophobia he deals with is mentioned in his past, but his time in the show is pure gay! The gay couple gets just as much screen time and development as the straight one, hitting all the same milestones, too. Besides this, various other characters could DEFINITELY be interpreted as bisexual.
2. NO TOXIC MASCULINITY
You heard me right: there is virtually NO toxic masculinity in this show. All of the guys in the band are friendly and open with each other, and aren’t afraid to do things that could be interpreted as gay with each other. (Now, whether those moments are gay or would just usually be perceived that way based on societal norms for male social interaction is debatable, but when you watch you get a sense of satisfaction from their friendship rather than feeing baited.) The most sexist moment I could think of from the entire show was when the protagonist’s little brother said he was “the man of the house”, which I think tells you everything you need to know. Plus, pretty much all of the guys in the band are himbos, so... lmao.
3. STELLAR CAST!
Everyone in this show is amazing. They are all incredibly talented singers, the instruments they play are played LIVE!!!, and the emotional beats hit just perfectly. They also have lots of good chemistry with each other and play off each other well. The cast includes Jeremy Shada (for all you VLD or Adventure Time fans) and Boo Boo Stewart (Descendants!), as well as many up-and-coming actors with such talent!
4. GHOSTS!
The rules for ghosts in this show are pretty basic — it’s hard for them to interact with physical objects at first, they have unfinished business, and nobody can see them. Well, except for Julie... and anyone else whenever they play music! The show twists the familiar ghost narrative while still making sense. Not all of the strange ghost things are explained in season one, but it definitely leaves the impression that those things will be explained later. Plus, I KNOW y’all have read or written ghost-related fanfic at some point, so don’t tell me this premise isn’t interesting!
5. BELIEVABLE RELATIONSHIPS
All of the relationships, from the platonic ones to the familial ones to the romantic ones, are entirely believable in this show. Not only that, but you find yourself rooting for friendships and romances alike! As I mentioned before, this show deals with the found family trope, which is just adorable. The band is connected in the cutest way, and has so many bonding moments that you couldn’t NOT believe they were friends/family. Julie’s family feels tight-knit and genuine, the boys are obviously close friends who have relied on nobody but each other for a while, and the two main ships are both, to quote Reggie (Jeremy Shada) “OOZING with chemistry”! There are some straight up adorable scenes with the main ships (and the friendships, honestly!!) which makes it impossible not to ship them. Plus, very emotional moments in all categories that really stengthen the bonds between all of the characters.
6. AGE APPROPRIATE CASTING
For the most part, everyone in this show is casted as exactly the age they are portraying. I will, however, admit that the boys fit into the regular “young adults playing teens” box, but every other teen character genuinely looks like a teen. Now, you might be wondering if that means any of the ships have weird age gaps. While in the show’s canon they definitely don’t, the actor that plays Julie is 16 while her love interest’s actor is 20. Now, this is pretty standard for TV/movies, but I totally understand if that makes anyone uncomfortable. Still, their ship is very pure and sweet on screen, and has lots of chemistry, while still staying to the G rating.
EDIT: TOTALLY FORGOT TO MENTION: THE MUSIC IS GREAT!!!! ALL BOPS!!! EVEN A SAD ONE THAT MADE ME CRY!!!!
With that, I conclude all my reasons you should watch Julie and the Phantoms!!! The fandom isn’t huge right now but I honestly think it deserves way more love! It definitely should appeal to anyone who liked Andi Mack, HSMTMTS, Descendants, or DOAFP; as well as fans of animated shows such as Kipo, VLD, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, or She-Ra; or anyone who likes ghosts, gay rep, or the found family trope!

julie and flynn go out to meet the people making such a loud noise outside their apartment, and they make friends in the process. what they don't know yet, however, is that their new apartment neighbor happens to be the guy julie's been crushing on for two years: Mr. Hot Coffee Shop Music Boy. and the boys who they make friends with? mr. hot coffee shop music boy's best friends.
snippet:
“Reggie, come on. He’s not that bad.”
“Okay, don’t even go there, Alex. I get that you’re all ‘oooh I have a boyfriend and I moved in with him and the rest of you suck because you’re single’ but that also means that you don’t have to live with Luke. I swear your memory’s gotten foggy since you moved in with Willie. Blinded by love and all that.”
“I am not-” The other voice said at an alarmingly high pitch, and Julie decided to step in before the poor guy had an aneurysm.
“Uh- hi?” The mattress dropped and two faces peered over it, one of them with blonde hair and blushing furiously (Julie assumed this one was Alex) and the other one- Reggie- with dark brown hair. “Do you guys want any help?”

movie rec per your post: its more of a show request but its short so it’s basically like a slightly long movie! i watched it in one sitting: its “julie and the phantoms” on netflix! i thought it seemed suuuper lame/dorky bc it’s literally rated tv-g but its genuinely good. made by the same dude who did hsm and stuff like that. fun storyline and awesome music!!! :D <3
honestly have been thinking about checking it out and probably will now thank you 🙏🏻

I just watched Julie and the Phantoms, a new kid's show on Netflix, and I gotta talk about it cuz I'm in love. Spoilers btw.
SO the general premise is, there was a 1995 boy band called Sunset Curve. One night before playing at the Orpheum, three out of the four died. Twenty five years later they came back as ghosts when a girl named Julie played their CD. Julie's the only person that can see them, EXCEPT for when they're all performing together.
So they form a band! Julie and the Phantoms!!
One of my fav things is the gays! There's two of them! Main characters with hella chemistry! They're pretty much the only couple in the show. In this kid's show! Yeah Julie has a slight crush on Luke, but that relationship isn't a main point, it doesn't even become a romantic relationship. It's pretty much only the gays.
It's hella sad actually. It deals with death. Obviously. Julie's mom died a year before the story starts, and she finds the ghosts in her mom's studio. They help her reconnect to music, which is something she lost when her mom died.
Luke is one of my fav characters. He's he lead singer in Sunset Curve, and in Julie and the Phantoms he's lead with Julie. He and Julie relate to each other because they both lost their moms in different ways. Julie's died, but Luke left his parents when he was 17 because they didn't support his dream of being in a band. It's his biggest regret, and that's shown throughout the show. He goes back to his house all the time just to be with his parents. One especially heartbreaking scene is when Luke goes back for his birthday. His parents made a cake every year for him, even though things ended badly. Luke's story hits hard with me because I have trouble with my parents, and the second I could I moved five hours away from them. So. Yeah. But there's obviously still a lot of love between Luke and his parents, especially his mom. Luke even wrote a song for her, which is tragic and painful and beautiful and I cried.
Alex! My pal! The gay! First episode it's shown that none of the band members had good relationships with their parents. Alex's relationship with his parents changed when he came out... That hit hard with me too. But really early in, Alex met another ghost named Willie (played by Booboo Stewart, a hella amazing actor that also appears as Jay in Descendants, I'm in love with him). From the second they met it was obvious that they liked each other. Alex really explicitly had a crush, and Willie made it clear how much he cares about Alex. It was so cute! Alex's bandmates are nothing but supportive. Again, they were the only like. Explicit romance in the whole darn show. Hell yeah.
My boy Reggie is adorable but his character is tragically unexplored, unfortunately. He cute though.
The true tragedy! The horrible conflict! There's a very powerful ghost, Caleb. He was jealous of the powers that the band had, so he proposed they all work together! Put on great shows! But the band insisted on staying with Julie. So, Caleb got mad and cursed them. He drained their life. There are three routes you can take as a ghost. Stay a ghost as long as you want, find your unfinished business and take care of it so you can cross over, or. Run out of life energy stuff and just. Die. Disappear forever. Caleb gave them an ultimatum. Join him for eternity or die.
The band thought their only chance was to cross over, but they didn't know their unfinished business. They tried performing at the Orpheum, but. It wasn't that. They were painfully dying and all Julie could do was watch... Did they get saved? Did they die? I won't tell you.
The fourth band member, the one that didn't die... Stole the band's music without giving them credit. He took it as his own. At first the rest of the band tries to get back at him, even going so far as to haunt him for a hot minute. In the end they realize that it's more important to stay in the present and make new music and lives for themselves instead of dwelling on the past.
Like. This show is a kid's show. Rated TV-G. But still tackles all this grief and regret and death and hope and. There's a gay. Did I mention? Sorry, I love gays in kid's shows. Most of them are such amazing, well developed characters with great stories and amazing chemistry. You can see their growth through the show,even though it's only like 3 hours total. It's perfect. It's amazing. I cried a lot. I'm in love. Goodnight.

Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall
Some people wonder why the same holiday shows are so popular, year after year. Some people just attend them year after year.
Below, see the schedule for Broadway shows both during the week leading up to Christmas (this week) and the week following (next week.)
Above that is a list of holiday shows, which range from Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular, which began in 1933, to the annual drag queen mock Christmas extravaganzas at the Laurie Beechman Theater.
George Balanchine’s Nutcracker at the Met
Elf at MSG
Lesli Margherita as Cindy Lou Who in WHO’S HOLIDAY!,
Sergei Prokofiev’s ‘Peter & the Wolf ” Conceived, Directed and Narrated by Isaac Mizrahi, at the Guggenheim
But first, a question: What are the upside and downside of perennial holiday shows?
Holiday Shows, Pro and Con
Theatermania’s critics Hayley Levitt and Zachary Stewart recently debated the question: Is it time to kill A Christmas Carol? Stewart: There’s a passage in Max Posner’s play Judy, which is set in the year 2040, in which an adult teaches a child what a play is: “They were these events people went to around Christmastime. People recited words to each other in the same order, in the same outfits, night after night…And we would pay a lot of money to go sit.” We may laugh at that description, but for a lot of people who only attend the theater once a year, it’s already a reality. You and I both know that the theater can do more. So why should theaters serve the same nuked leftovers the one time that irregular theatergoers show up?
Levitt: Why do you think they’re showing up at all? Because these theaters are putting on a recognizable title with an accessible story that may inspire theater newbies to become theater regulars. And as theater gateway drugs go, you could do far worse than A Christmas Carol. It’s a piece of literature with a valuable message about generosity and charitable giving.
There is something else to consider, which I first learned when I interviewed Johnny Marks, the composer of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Some people might be surprised that somebody actually wrote Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer; it seems like a song that’s just always been there every Christmas. But no, Marks wrote it, and a dozen other Christmas songs, which is how he learned that Christmas cheer is a cut-throat business.  The success of his little ditty and others such as Jingle Bells fill the airwaves every December, making it nearly impossible to get airtime for new Christmas songs, including his own.
Could you make the same argument for Christmas theater? Do such 800-pound reindeer as our first two holiday shows listed below crowd out any holiday upstarts?
HOLIDAY TRADITIONS
Radio City Christmas Spectacular (Radio City Music Hall)
Now through January 1, 2018
This 90-minute show starring the Radio City Rockettes has been an annual tradition since 1933, helping to define the holiday season.
  George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker (Lincoln Center’s Koch Theater)
November 24 – December 31, 2017
An annual tradition since 1954, New York City Ballet employs all of its 90 dancers, as well as 62 musicians, 32 stagehands and two casts of 50 young students each from the School of American Ballet to present this Tchaikovsky-scored ballet about a brave young girl who “turns the tide in a battle between toy soldiers and mischievous mice.” There’s also an onstage blizzard and a Christmas tree that grows to 40 feet.
    As the critics’ debate above makes clear, there are many versions of A Christmas Carol – for example at the Players Theater in the Village for the ninth year (November 26 through December 30). For the fifth year, the Merchant House Museum (November 30 – January 31, 2018) will re-create the time in 1867, when Charles Dickens traveled to New York to perform his story.
  NEW TRADITIONS, OR TRYING TO BE
Elf (The Theater at Madison Square Garden.)
December 13 – 29, 2017
A stage adaptation of the movie about a human taken in by Santa who travels to New York to find his real family, this show was launched on Broadway as a holiday show in 2010, but has since become an annual affair at Madison Square Garden.
  Home for the Holidays (August Wilson Theatre)
November 17 – December 30, 2017
The winners of TV talent competitions —Candice Glover (American Idol), Josh Kaufman (The Voice) and Bianca Ryan (America’s Got Talent)—are the stars of this debut holiday concert of some 25 “perennial favorite” songs in a Broadway theater, which also features some YouTube stars and actor Danny Aiello. This is a surreal experience, especially when Danny Aiello says things like “If we lived every day of our lives as if it were Christmas, we’d never grow old.” (Some of us would also quickly go broke)
  It’s a Wonderful Life (Irish Rep)
November 29 – December 31, 2017
A radio play version of Frank Capra’s holiday movie that starred Jimmy Stewart, which is set in a radio station in the 1940s
ALTERNATIVE HOLIDAY SHOWS
There are alternative annual Nutcrackers, not all of them rated G, several of which are trying to become as perennial as their mainstream cousins.
Nutcracker Rouge (383 Troutman Theatre Space)
November 23 – January 14, 2018
Austin McCormick and his erotic dance-theater group present the Burlesque version of the Nutcracker Suite, strictly for ages 18 and over. First performed in Greenwich Village in 2013, it continues its holiday tradition in a new theater in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Who’s Holiday (Westside Theater)
November 20-December 31, 2017
In a take-off of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Lesli Margherita (of Matilda fame) gives a solo star turn in Matthew Lombardo’s play about drunken middle-aged Cindy Lou Who, now residing in a beaten down trailer in the snowy hills of Mount Crumpit. As she prepares to serve as host to a Christmas Eve party for her friends, she recalls that fated night when she first met the Grinch
The Laurie Beechman Theater, in the basement of the West Bank Café on 42nd Street, has an annual tradition of holiday specials presided over by some of RuPaul’s favorite drag queens. This year, Twizted Sisterz presented Kracked Kristmess on November 24 and December 1; Alaska has return with her fifth annual holiday show, For Heaven’s Snakes, December 13 to 20,;and, from December 27 to 30, Sharon Needles presents The Nightmare After Christmas
Wait Until Next Year
The following shows have finished their run this year, but these happen every year,  so worth mentioning.
The Magic Flute (The Metropolitan Opera House)
November 25 – December 9, 2017
Julie Taymor directed this 100-minute English-language version of Mozart’s opera, which debuted a decade ago. She also created the costumes and supplied the puppets.
Peter and the Wolf with Isaac Mizrahi (Guggenheim Museum)
December 2-3, then 8-10
The fashion designer narrates Sergei Prokofiev’s children’s classic which he first performed at the museum in 2007. Mizrahi also designed the costumes: Peter, for example, has a beanie with a pinwheel on top
Times Square Angel (Theater for the New City)
December 18
In Charles Busch’s 19th annual staged reading of his homage to holiday films from the 1940s, he performs as Irish O’Flanagan, a tough-as-nails nightclub chanteuse in 1940’s Manhattan who makes Scrooge look like a sentimental sap.
There’s nothing that says you have to spend your holiday watching a holiday show. You can see any show on Broadway, which has a changed schedule over the next two weeks.

Rating: G Relationship: Julie Molina/Luke Patterson Characters: Luke Patterson; Reggie Peters; Alex Mercer; Tags: Canon Verse; Angst; Missing Scene Summary: Luke contemplates telling Julie about his feelings, but first he needs to figure out what those feelings are. Alex and Reggie help him work through them with a song.Missing scene between 1x08 and 1x09. Written for Jukebox Appreciation Week on Tumblr.
I wrote this for Jukebox Appreciation Week on Tumblr, day 3: Center Stage Day! It's more of a drabble than anything, it's pretty short. I imagined it as a missing scene between 1x08 Unsaid Emily and 1x09 Stand Tall.
Inspiration (and the song Luke sings) is Something by The Beatles. I really imagined it sounding like the Across the Universe cover.
