Thank you!!! I’ve chosen “favourite angst quote from a WIP” despite the fact that I have hardly any WIPs on the go lmao and it’s gonna be quite a long quote…
Increasingly, she found herself thinking back to when Julie had been briefly expelled from the music programme and the night she had spent awake in her bedroom, downing soda after soda, planning what she would say to Julie and lamenting what she might lose. She had been convinced that Julie quitting music would lead to the end of their friendship, but nowadays she was more worried that their downfall would be Julie’s success. They hadn’t met up in weeks, they hardly spoke to each other, and Flynn was spending more time at the Molina household than Julie was, just hanging out with Ray and Carlos, trying to feel close to her best friend in any way she could.
Of course, none of that meant she wasn’t happy for Julie or that she didn’t understand why any of this was happening. She got it all perfectly. Julie was finally proving to the world that she was a force to be reckoned with, a talent beyond all comprehension, just like Flynn had always known she was. And that all happened to come with fully booked schedules that would, typically, never line up with Flynn’s. She was happy for Julie, and she knew it was no one’s fault that they spoke less, but that didn’t make the distance hurt any less.
The only real difference between them, she supposed, was that Julie still had the boys, but all of a sudden, Flynn didn’t have anyone at all.
I’ll explain the premise of the fic in the tags because I honestly still love it and now that I’ve read through it again I want to revisit it lol
writer ask game!!!

it’s midnight so this might not be completely coherent but i keep thinking about the existence of l*lex as ship, not just as exes but in the present as well, and it’s just so hard to believe anyone who says the ship isn’t built on racism, erasing a POC, and fetishizing white mlm ships.
because here’s the thing. if the reason really was that they just don’t think Willie and Alex have “chemistry” then WHY are there no other Willie ships? Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve never seen a single person ship Willie with anyone else, not Reggie or Luke or Nick or whatever crack ship or even original characters? how are any of us supposed to believe it’s not about ignoring the person of color when he is perpetually erased? y’all are so transparent

I see a lot of people who are against Lalex, Ruke, and some other ships because they think people just want their favorite white boys to be in a relationship, and I have to say something about it.
You're not wrong. There are plenty of people who ship them for that type of reason and ignore the fleshed out, canon, interracial ships. Those who do that should be called out and deserve your criticism. But if you think that's the only reason people ship those, then frankly, I couldn't disagree with you more.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with shipping things that aren't canon. There's nothing wrong with finding a relationship where canon has moved differently. All the different ships in this fandom should be celebrated and respected because it means people are looking to this show and finding love and care. Why should you care what people ship? If people can look at Luke and Alex and see a friendship that survived starting and ending a romantic relationship, then that's wonderful. If people relate to that story and never get to see representation of happy, friendly exes, I'm so happy for them. If people look at Luke and Reggie and see chemistry, the history of longstanding friendship and having your best friend be the person you fall for, and the lack of stereotype between two boys that are traditionally masculine but in love, then that's amazing.
And so I've seen so many people think if you ship Julie and Flynn, it's because you ship two white boys together and still want to look like you care. Yes, it's true in some cases. That deserves to be called out. But to think that that's always the way it goes? That blows my mind. These two characters are teenage girls of color, living through realistic hardships and ups and downs of friendship, and just regular teenage lives. If girls just like them look at this loving, caring friendship, listen to Flying Solo, and see themselves or something they can relate to and find romantic love in it, then god, I'm proud of them.
Interracial couples deserve so much more love than get, and they deserve so much more representation in the media. Julie and The Phantoms has given us that, and it should be celebrated and loved because it's so, so, so important. Julie/Luke and Alex/Willie are phenomenal, and such a step forward in representative media. But don't assume that just because someone likes another ship means they don't like the ones we're given. If you go through life being angry at those who ship something other than what you do, make assumptions as to why someone ships something, or attack others based on what they ship, that's the most clear path to becoming a toxic, hateful fandom. That should never happen. You don't know the full story about why someone ships something. You don't need to know the full story. It's not your business. If the ship isn't your thing, then it isn't your thing. I'm glad you found a different ship that you love.
And like I said before, sometimes it truly is the case of implicit racism or sexism. And that's not okay, it should never be okay. I get mad at those people, too. It's a discussion and call out that deserves to happen. But I'm begging you, stop making it so that shipping anything but Juke and Willex is wrong. It's not. People find love in different places, ways, and forms. That's good! We should be happy about that because it's making someone else happy!
I think Juke and Willex are the best ships in the show. I love both of them with everything I have, and they're literally some of my favorite ships of all time. But I've also written for Reggie/Luke, Julie/Flynn, and I've shown support for Luke/Alex. Shipping multiple things is okay. Shipping what makes you happy is okay.
Attacking someone or being rude for what they ship is not. And that goes to everyone. It goes to those who get mad at people for shipping Ruke, Lalex, or Julynn, and it goes to people who get mad at people who don't ship those. We could all stand to be a little nicer. Remember that you never know the full story behind someone's actions. If you want to talk about why people ship something, then by all means, talk about it. But make it a conversation and learning experience, not an anger or judgemental fueled attack.
I know people will disagree with me for saying all this, I know people will get mad at me, and I know people will feel the need to respond. This is not a personal attack on anyone, and I'm not trying to call someone specific out. This is just me starting that conversation that we should be willing to have. If you get angry with me, that's cool. Block me or unfollow me. Know that I'm not going to respond to rude messages. If you think I'm wrong, that I missed a point, or that I didn't think something through, that's awesome. Shoot me a message or an ask, I'd love to hear your side of things.
Either way: This fandom is getting a little too toxic, and I'm not just gonna sit here and let it happen.

Imagine if instead of the music just starting to play while Julynn were walking to the rally and the girls already surrounding Carrie, we saw the actual beginning of the performance with Carrie just standing there alone waiting for the music to start. Now imagine if she was the main character of the show and it was written like Glee so we got a whole internal monologue from Carrie about being a wannabe pop star with loving fans.
"Whew. Alright, here we go, Carrie. No biggie. It's just another performance in front of the entire student body. Nothing we haven't done a million times before. I can do this. I have to do this. It's for my fans. And they deserve nothing but the absolute best. My fans love me. I just couldn't bear to disappoint them. And I won't. I'm going to wow everyone in this room. I'm going to continue to earn their applause and their love. Because if there's one thing I've learned about love, it's that it has to be earned. It always has to be earned, over and over again. Well, you better believe this little superstar is going to earn it today. Just like I always do. It's in my blood. Literally. My dad is rock star Trevor Wilson. Sure, he's had his fair share of weird, embarrassing, awkward dad moments, but he's still a rock star, and he's still my dad. And you better believe I'm going to make my friends and my dad proud today. Just like I always do."
*cue music*
Woah, woah... Woah, woah... See 'em look Hear 'em "Ooh! Aah!" Hands up, throw back, boo-yah! We're the best, no doubt Check it out! Yeah, we make em say "Wow!"
"Sure, dad might not always tag along to my gigs to watch me wow my audience, in fact, he never does, but he does splurge and get me and my girls the cutest costumes, and amazing choreographers. The perks of having a rich dad."
Made moves On the rise now Run stuff, get a piece of that pie now We're the best, no doubt Check it out! Yeah, we make em say "Wow!" Yeah, we're going sky-high and we never gonna settle Living in the fast lane, pedal to the metal We see it, we want it We get it, we got it Everybody lose control We came to play, where you at? We're going hard Just like that, yeah We're the bomb, chain react Blow their minds and watch them...
"I guess I can't complain too much, though. I don't want to make it sound like I'm ungrateful for everything dad's done for me, because I really am grateful. Dad's not like my fans, constantly demanding that I put on these amazing shows with exceptional choreography and fancy costumes and a cool light show. He loves me, without the conditions. That's not something you find easily. For some, it's not something you find at all."
Woah, woah... Woah, woah...
See em look Hear em "Ooh! Aah!" Hands up, throw back, boo-yah! We're the best, no doubt Check it out! Yeah, we make 'em say "Wow!"
Made moves On the rise now Run stuff, get a piece of that pie now We're the best, no doubt Check it out! Yeah, we make em say "Wow!"
"I do sort of feel like a performing monkey sometimes, but it's far from the worst thing in the world. Besides, I at least know I'm a good performing monkey. I put on only the best shows for the best fans."
Come follow me, we're gon' make history Cause we are the champions like Freddie Mercury Yeah, we gonna rock you, never gonna not, too Always making headlines, yeah, we're the hot news
"I'm not like my ex-friend, Julie, who stopped singing at all after losing her mom a year ago. I lost mine at the same time and I didn't stop singing for a second. Though, I didn't have a choice. I had to keep earning the love. I had to still have it in me to earn the love of my fans. And I do."
See 'em look Hear 'em "Ooh! Aah!" Hands up, throw back, boo-yah! We're the best, no doubt Check it out! Yeah, we make 'em say "Wow!"
Wow! Wow! Wow! Check it out! Yeah, we make 'em say "Wow!"
"Ahh, there it is! The beautiful sound of cheers and applause. And it's all for me and my girls. We did it. I did it. I earned their love again. I impressed them. Another win for me. All feels right in the world when I hear that sound. I couldn't imagine how crushing it would be to ever lose this. But I guess that's not something I'll ever have to worry about, because it's something that will never happen. Because I won't let it happen."

Top 10 Friendships Involving POC from 10 Different Fandoms
You may have seen the “Top 10 Ships Involving POC” post circulating (I hope you have!), but I’ve been really emotional about deep platonic bonds too. So.  I’m making a branch off of that post to give some love to some amazing Characters of Color and their friendships, too (in no particular order). <3
1) Scott McCall & Lydia Martin - Teen Wolf
This is a God-tier friendship. The growth?? The commitment?? The love?? Unparalleled. Best friendship on the show by the end. (I will die on this hill.) Also, the way this exchange is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen?
Tumblr media
2) Landon Kirby & Rafael Waithe - Legacies
I am very emotional about these boys and their relationship. We were robbed of more brotherly shenanigans with these two, robbed.
Tumblr media
3) Julie Molina & her himbos Alex, Luke, Reggie AND Julie & Flynn (yes, I’m cheating.) - Julie and the Phantoms
Look, it’s impossible to choose! I love Julynn so much. They’ve got this amazing foundation of trust and loyalty and love that fuels their friendship. But I also am constantly thinking about how the boys came into Julie’s life and helped her feel alive again, like there was hope again (and how she in turn did the same for them). And that’s beautiful damn it. All of these friendships are transcendent.
Tumblr media
4) Winston Bishop & Cece Parekh - New Girl
Time for a Classic Winston and Cece Messaround! I really loved how their unlikely friendship developed into something deep and caring, and how it allowed Cece to explore a more playful side of her personality.
Tumblr media
5) Bonnie Bennett & Damon Salvatore - The Vampire Diaries
Bamon has a lot of romantic subtext and they could easily be a couple. But honestly, I enjoy their bond as platonic so much more. The way these two started out hating each other, and their friendship was a real slow build until they were stuck in that prison world together, and afterward they were inseparable? I cannot express enough how much love I have for the depth of understanding and care for each other they developed.
Tumblr media
6) Derek Morgan & Spencer Reid - Criminal Minds
I haven’t watched this show in a very long time, but I will always be soft about how soft Morgan is for Reid. 
Tumblr media
7) Ellie Chu & Paul Munsky (feat. Papa Chu) - The Half of It
I’m still not over how this movie really was like “all forms of love are equally valuable, romance isn’t the most important thing.” Like, it wasn’t really a romantic movie at all in the end. It was about showing the depth and importance of other forms of love and that’s a really lovely message. The strong platonic friendship Ellie and Paul developed throughout the movie was beautiful, and I’m emotional about it. (And I love, too, that Paul not only bonded with Ellie, but with her severely depressed father who we watched slowly gain hope again throughout the movie.)
Tumblr media
8) Layla Keating & Tamia “Coop” Cooper - All American
Their friendship is honestly one of my favorite things. Like, it just...happened. But it feels really pure and good. It was important for them both, I think, that they wound up forming this strong partnership that simply started with Layla recognizing Coop’s talent, and Coop in turn recognizing Layla’s. They really helped each other grow even while both being in pretty dark places. That was really cool of them. I hope we get more good Coop/Layla dynamic in Season 3.
Tumblr media
9) Raven Reyes & John Murphy - The 100
A+ character development, A+ friendship building. The Enemies to Friends was strong with these two.
Tumblr media
10) Javier Esposito & Kevin Ryan - Castle
Taking it way back on this one. I was obsessively into Castle when I was younger, and one of my favorite parts of the show was Javi and Ryan’s “bromance.” It was mostly fun, them goofing around, but they had some really emotional scenes that got me good.
Tumblr media
Bonus: Malika Williams & Alice Kwan - Good Trouble
I couldn’t find a single gif of them together, or even a non-BTS picture. But I love their friendship! Malika teaching Alice to not take shit from everybody is 11/10 
Tagging: @welldressedllama @momentofmemory​ @daughterofluthien​ @capricornsicle​ @jodyjacksons​​ and @donnas-troia (since this post is entirely inspired by her lovely “10 ships involving POC” post)
Absolutely no pressure to participate, but have fun if you do decide to! And anyone who isn’t tagged but still wants to take part, well, you know what to do... (go for it! And tag me so I can see!)

Qpp juke hcs? Qpp juke hcs.
Julie is acespec (and kiss-averse) and Luke is arospec!!
Don't even look at me but juke qpr and julynn on the side
It takes them what feels like years to figure their shit out. At first they do all the traditional romantic stuff (including kissing) until Julie speaks up and is like hey!! I'm not really comfortable with that!! And Luke is like that's totally fine I don't mind at all and ily!! And then they keep doing traditional romantic stuff minus kissing and it takes so long for Luke to finally admit that hey!! He's not v comfortable with a few of these things that they're doing!! And Julie's like bitch!! You should've said something sooner!!! Ily and it's okay!! And then everything works itself out
When Luke tells her how he feels she's like don't worry!! We can be qpp's and he's just like. What is that. And then she explains and then they live happily ever after good night.
They tell people they don't know very well that they're dating just because that's what it can look like from afar and it's much easier than explaining everything
But ofc the gang (alex, reggie, flynn, willie) knows, and they eventually tell Ray and he's supportive bc he's literally the best dad ever
And even though they both agreed it would just be for the best that people assumed they were dating they still want to throw up any time that someone says they are, even though technically they were for a bit. Just the thought of it is so weird bc they've been at this state of comfortable-ness for so long
Not to randomly insert my pronoun hcs in here but he/she/they Luke
They hold hands a bunch. Like all the time. Like if they're standing next to each other and able to, they are holding hands.
FOREHEAD!!!!!!! KISSES!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE OF THEM IS FEELING DOWN OR SAD!!!!!!! JUST!!!!!! FOREHEAD KISSES!!!!!
They share clothes constantly. Well, the entire gang does, but it is rare that you'll find them sleeping and Luke won't be wearing one of Julie's hoodies and Julie won't be wearing one of Luke's sleeveless shirts
Not to put another random Luke hc in here but Luke is allergic to sleeves in the daytime but at night he is constantly cold and rarely doesn't have sleeves on, even in the summertime
The gang has movie nights every friday bUT juke has their own movie nights by themselves and even though they take turns in picking movies the other always complains if they didn't pick it
Flynn and Luke always joke that Julie is going to leave them for the other BUT they all always know that it's a joke and that Julie loves them equally just in different ways. It's always a joke and they all always know it
There's also a running joke that Flynn doesn't like Luke and he is just constantly trying to win her over but really she loves him and the impact she's had on Julie's life
One time Flynn and Luke went to hang out and Julie pretends that she is very offended that her qpp and girlfriend are leaving her for each other
They're constantly giving gifts to each other because "I saw this and thought of you"
They can be random things from stores or even just rocks that they found outside
I'm not saying that Luke is the one who is good at cooking I'm just saying that he's the one who is good at cooking
Julie draws him in her notebook one time and he literally cries when she shows it to him
They don't do short hugs very often,, when they do hug it's nice and long and comfortable and I love them more than anything
Everyone starts to refer to them as juke when they're together. "Oh, juke went to the movies" "Yeah, juke is being sappy again," Stuff like that, and they pretend that they hate it but honestly it makes their hearts feel so warm
Anyways they love each other that's all good night.

yall know when you have an idea for an au and you just cant get it out of your head? anyways,
jatp tmi/shadowhunters au
(its a mix between the show and the books because yeah)
okay here we go
julie as clary - obviously. artistic? curly hair? can see people others cant? short? it just fits. moms dead/missing for most of the narrative. has a hardcore bestie who stays w/ them through everything.
flynn as simon - the iconic best friend. has always had a crush on bestie and even dated them for a bit? ngl i would love to see it with julynn. sort of hates besties s/o and discourages hanging out with them, but eventually has a good relationship. jace and simons relationship is everything and i would love to see it w/ flynn and luke. which brings me to our next point.
luke as jace - now, we are not doing the sibling bit. i simply will not include that because no. anyways, cocky, musical, main love interest, yeah. obviously hes not as narcissistic as jace because that would be mean. but hes still sometime ignorant to others feelings and can be self centered because thats canon anyways.
alex as alec - gay. alex is a stickler for the rules but just because hes anxious. was in love w/ best friend for a while, but got over it when he found his mans. also hes nicer to julie than alex is to clary at first because i said so. doesnt mean hes not still kinda stiff tho.
carrie as izzy - badass girl. falls in love w/ mains best friend. im sorry but i would love to see that one scene in idris with flarrie and alex it would be so funny
willie as magnus - rn im imagining willie in magnus' clothes and makeup and screaming inside. anyways willex as malec is something that can be so personal
rose as jocelyn - julie/clary's mom, absent for a while. idk id rather rose doesn't die like in jatp and shadowhunters so ig we're goin w/ book canon on this one. rose doesnt really hide her past from julie in jatp she just never mentions the boys (which she really had no reason to) but we can relate that to jocelyn hiding her life easily enough.
ray as luke - okay there is no way in hell that im having rose be calebs ex, so we're just gonna say that ray and rose were in the circle sorta like robert and maryse were, ray was one of calebs right hands, realized he was messed up, they planned to leave, ray got turned, rose fled pregnant w/ the cup, they found each other again, raised julie and had carlos, everything was good up until you know when.
OH MY GOD CARLOS AS MAX BUT NOT REALLY BECAUSE HE WONT DIE AND HES JULIES LIL BRO INSTEAD OF ALEX AND CARRIE'S. yes.
victoria as dot - victoria as a warlock is something that can just be so personal. dot was already sorta like a cool aunt to clary, so why not. worked at roses shop.
trevor as robert - carrie and alex's dad. was part of the circle w wifey (who should be maryse? should she be absent like carries mom?) and ray and rose. stayed longer but ultimately left, kept secret from kids. although i like trevor i dont want him to die so he can just be a good inquisitor who supports gays and retires at some point to jia(ms harrison ? 👀), who then retires to alex later on
caleb as valentine - honestly who else would it be. sure its not exact, and i feel like he shouldnt be adoptive dad to luke cause that seems weird, but hes the kind to kidnap someone for what he wants. totally charismatic enough to have a cult following, basically already does.
anyways. i have many more ideas. maybe ill add to this later. also i know i didnt include reggie i just have no idea who he'd be. maybe maya? idk.

oblivious to its passing
notes: based on this tumblr post!
my very very very late fic for @julie-week's wuv wednesday and technically also au sunday! so it's an au where julie and flynn aren’t childhood best friends, flynn's the new kid and punk flynn gives oblivious julie a patch from her jacket (which means a LOT in punk culture) and yeah.. julynn <3
word count: 1490
read it on AO3 or under the cut!
--
If you had asked Julie what she planned on spending her Thursday night doing, she would have told you she planned to be doing what she always does on a school night: balancing her homework and working on her music while dealing with the 3 most annoying, wonderful boys in her band.
Just normal teenage things, really.
She would not have imagined spending her Thursday afternoon helping the new student from her music theory class put up flyers for the pep rally next Monday. Lost in thought, she reaches for another flyer, only for her hands to come up empty. Julie startles out of her daze, realizing how late it’s gotten. She should probably head home for dinner soon. She checks the time on her phone and sighs disappointedly.
Despite the unexpected twist in her plans, she really did enjoy Flynn’s company. They got to talking while stapling flyers to the walls and Julie is finding out just how much she really likes them. She curses the fact that she falls hard for a cute smile and a knack for music.
Such is the life of a poor, poor bisexual, a sarcastic voice rings out in her mind.
Alex?
She shakes her head, trying to clear her thoughts. Her teensy-eensy-weensy crush certainly isn’t helped by the fact that Flynn is gorgeous. Their waist-length box braids are dyed bright red and various rings of different colors adorn her fingers.
Very pretty fingers, Julie muses, long and slender, like piano-playing hands. She wonders distantly what it would be like if they compared hand sizes.
Her gaze travels upward to Flynn’s jacket where patches are carefully hand-sewn onto the leather. All of them are handmade, from the different patches of band names to symbols Julie can’t recognize. Including, she sees, fascinated, a lesbian pride flag patch on the sleeve.
She keeps staring at their jacket unabashedly until she hears Flynn clear their throat. Her head jerks up, hand coming to rub the back of her neck, smiling sheepishly when she notices Flynn’s amused smile. They turn to their left and carefully rip a patch off, handing it to her.
“Here. Take it.”
“Oh! Oh--Thank you, but I couldn’t, you’re too nice, I--”
She laughs, “Jules, just take it. It’s a gift.”
“And you can’t just refuse a gift, now can you?” At this, their voice takes on a teasing tone.
At the combination of Flynn calling her a nickname and the force of Flynn’s teasing smile directly at her, Julie’s protests halt and her mouth snaps shut. She takes the patch hesitantly and looks over at it.
It’s a soft lavender butterfly, Julie’s favorite. She softens automatically, eyes closed, as the feeling of nostalgia surrounds her, memories of her mom calling her “mi mariposa” enveloping her in warmth.
She opens her eyes to Flynn who’s staring at her, eyes crinkled in delight.
Julie maintains eye contact with them as she pins it on her backpack.
Once she’s satisfied with how it looks, she turns and claps her hands, “I really do have to go now though. Thank you so much for the patch like actually, how can I repay you? You want tickets to my band’s gig? Uh, free of charge! Or maybe you want, we can talk about this later, um can I go? I should go, I’m--I’m gonna go. ”
“Hey,” Flynn grasps her shoulders.
“I’m fine, really. Go. I’ll see you in class on Friday.”
Flynn pushes Julie to the door and with a final wave of their hand, she’s gone. Now alone in the hallway, Julie finally pauses to examine the butterfly patch further. She grins, gently caressing the fabric.
“Yeah, Friday...I can’t wait.”
---
Julie can feel the stares of her classmates burning a hole in her back as she walks through the throngs of students. She tries to ignore the incredulous stares as she goes to her locker but curiosity gets the better of her. She turns to the guy next to her and asks why everyone is staring at her.
His only response is a confused glance and a thumb jabbed in the direction of her backpack.
Her backpack? What was wrong with it? Did the butterfly mean anything bad?
As the bell rings and the hallway clears, she spots Flynn and attempts to wave her over. Once she’s within talking range, Flynn pulls her into one of the empty stairwells.
Julie opens her mouth to ask if butterfly patches have any negative connotations when they start talking first.
“You don’t know the meaning of this pin, do you?”
Julie can feel shame and guilt build up in her chest,
She should’ve known something like this was going to happen.
“No I don’t, Oh my gosh, it’s not something bad now is it? I’m so sorry, here I’ll just take it off and give it back--”
“No, don’t! I mean---no, no it's fine it’s just--” They swallow and shuffle their feet nervously.
“It’s just..?” Julie prompts gently.
“Uh it’s-- it’s sort of, kind of, maybe my way of me asking you out? Like how my patches are important to me and I’m giving you one because I want you to have it.” She looks down, fingers fidgeting with their rings as she waits for a response.
Oh. Oh.
Julie can feel the heat creeping up her cheeks and silently gives her thanks to whoever made it so she couldn’t easily blush.
“I--”
Flynn interrupts her. “I’m so sorry! I thought you knew and that’s why you were so bashful, I didn’t think--I mean. I’m sorry. Uh you don't have to give it back either, I uh gave it to you, so obviously it’s yours and you don’t need to feel obligated in any way to go out with me or anything just because I gave you it and again, I’m like so so sorry---”
Julie smiles automatically, infatuated at the sight of Flynn rambling, embarrassed and she makes a decision right then and there. She walks up slowly and raises her hand to Flynn’s shoulder.
At the feeling of Julie’s hand on them, Flynn stops talking immediately, watching wordlessly at what Julie is planning to do
Julie smirks and reaches up on her tiptoes to kiss Flynn on the cheek softly, her lips barely brushing the skin.
“It’s a date. Meet me at the park at 1:30 tomorrow, Lunch is my treat.”
A beat passes. Then two.
Julie looks up at Flynn nervously, her facade of confidence slowly falling the longer Flynn stays silent.
She quickly tries to amend the situation, “I mean, of course, you don’t have to, was I reading the room wrong? I’m so--”
“Yes! Yes! I’ll meet you, I have to put up fliers today too but yes, yes of course I’ll go on a date with you!”
“Oh!” Julie brightens, “I--I’ll see you tomorrow then?”
Flynn blinks. “U--Uh yeah, yeah of course. To--Tomorrow.” A slow grin forms on both of their faces as they stare into each other’s eyes.
Julie’s phone buzzes right then, bursting the bubble of tranquility they were just in. She checks to see who’s called and smiles apologetically at Flynn.
““I need to go. My dad’s calling and it’s almost dinner time which means curfew, and I don't want to miss curfew, you know? I’ll um--I’ll see you tomorrow then?”
Flynn blinks. “U--Uh yeah, yeah of course,” They smile softly.
“Tomorrow.”
Julie can feel her shoulder relax, tension she didn't even realize was there, leaving her body.
She slowly raises her hand in a small wave and walks out, not daring to look back as she waits for her to be out of sight before pumping her fist and jumping up and down in excitement. She continues home with a reinvigorated spring in her step, and the phantom memory of a promise on her lips.
---
Flynn can’t stop the high-pitched squeals that come out of their mouth. She can still feel the phantom touch of Julie’s oh so soft lips against her cheekbone and tries to still their beating heart, trying to beat right out of their chest.
A noise from one of the closed classrooms rings out, and she’s suddenly aware of where she is right now. Right. Still at school. They cough, regaining her indifferent demeanor, aiming for unapproachability.
They don't think they can handle someone starting up a conversation with her when she’s like this. She clears their throat, hoping her voice doesn’t crack or something equally as embarrassing when they try and open their mouth to talk.
She really needs to finish putting up these fliers quickly. She smiles, excitedly. After all, they have a date to get ready for.
---
(And if someone (read; the head cheerleader and Julie Molina’s self-appointed designated mean friend, Carrie Wilson) just happens to see the new punk kid dancing to themself in the open courtyard,
Well then that’s just another secret Carrie can keep to herself.)

Domestic Headcanons
I wrote a fic in which the band were all alive and living together in their early twenties, and @zendrella sent me questions about what them all living together would be like.
**Established Willex, Julynn, and Ruke/PeterPatter in these**
- The band moved in to a large, expensive Hollywood apartment when the boys were 19 and Julie was 18. Their first two albums, released when they were all still in high school, had blown up across the country and the world, so they had plenty of money. They were able to buy their own apartment/house/whatever you want to call it with four bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and an in-unit washer/dryer
- They still use the Molina’s garage as their studio- partially out of nostalgia because they have so many good memories there and partially out of convenience because Ray doesn’t make them pay and Julie gets to see her family pretty much every day
This got really long so read more under the cut!!
- Since they were already with their significant others when they moved in, Julie and Alex had offered for Flynn and Willie to live with them, too; they certainly had the space. Both turned down the offer, though, because Flynn was attending UCLA for music business and wanted the dorm experiences, and the apartment was just a little too far of a commute for Willie when he had to work at the Hollywood Ghost Club, so the skater has his own place that wasn’t too far away from the band’s
- It takes another two years after they all move in for Reggie and Luke to get together. Julie had been dating Flynn for six months by the time they got the apartment, and Willie and Alex had been together since they were 17. The four of them team up to stage an Intervention with Luke and Reggie so they would finally admit their feelings
- After the Intervention, suddenly Reggie's room becomes completely useless because he's always sleeping in Luke's. Eventually (read: within a week) it becomes their room, and they turn Reggie's old room into a guest space for Julie or Luke's families, or as the space they go to when they want to have a sleepover in their own house (usually with Flynn and Willie, too)
- When it comes to cooking, Julie is surprisingly enough the one Not Allowed in the kitchen. Yeah, she can cook pasta and stuff, but one time she tried to make one of her aunt's recipes for the boys and accidentally set off every fire alarm in their Very Large apartment and maybe a couple of the ones in the apartment above them too
- None of them are great bakers, honestly, but since they're at the studio basically every day, Ray is constantly sending them home with different baked goods from both him and Victoria. When it comes to cookies, though?? There is not a single chef/baker in the world who compares to Luke's cookies. He's never burned them once, can make basically any type the band can think of, and he never uses a recipe??? They're just freaking perfect every time and the rest of them Do Not Understand
- Luke stress bakes most often, but sometimes it’s Reggie in the kitchen at 3AM and he makes the best pie any of them have ever tasted???  But if you try to get Reggie to bake at any other time it always comes out burned or misshapen or just something's a little off and you can't tell what but it's possible he mixed up the baking powder and baking soda and holy fuck Reg is this olive oil???
-  Reggie makes the best coffee, but he also disgusts each and every one of them because he drinks it black??? What the fuck, man???
- Alex does the cooking more often than not, with a few nights a week reserved for Luke or Reggie to make dinner, but it's Luke who's in charge of grocery shopping. You'd think, like the rest of his life, it would be a chaotic mess, but in reality he would always go grocery shopping with his mom, every time without fail until he moved out. Emily always knew all the best deals, where to get the Good Coupons, and how to masterfully budget the amount of groceries they would need. She didn't even really teach Luke, but he'd managed to pick it all up. They discovered this the first time the band tried to go shopping, when the rest of them were confused and goofing off a little and Luke came out of nowhere with price calculations in his head and telling them "no, no, no, grab this one, it's less expensive and actually tastes better”
- Whenever they do the dishes, Luke is not allowed to put things away because even thought they’ve lived there for two years already he's the only one who does not seem to understand that THE SILVERWARE GOES IN THE DRAWER BY THE STOVE and THE GLASSES DO NOT GO WITH THE PLATES
- When they can’t sleep, they all get midnight snacks, but Alex is the most likely to get one almost every night. It surprises all of them because Alex is the healthiest eater yet his midnight snacks are always something sugary or very much not his usual healthy food. They lowkey blame Willie for getting Alex hooked on certain sugary foods because the skater has the Sweetest of sweet tooths
- They all stay up way too late, but it's a different person depending on the night. If they've done a gig or a concert, then it's definitely all of them. On weekends Alex and Reggie like to stay up late together to watch SNL reruns. Sometimes Luke and Julie have to physically be dragged to bed because they're working themselves ragged over a new song. Since Alex and Julie don’t get to spend as many nights with their significant others, if Willie or Flynn is over chances are everyone is getting less sleep than usual. Sometimes it’s because the couples get a little too loud and sometimes it’s just the excitement of seeing each other and all six of them start goofing off around the apartment
- Reggie is the designated "would you please go tell the neighbors to fuck off" person. Reggie loves talking to people even though he's kind of an introvert, and when they were moving in he made an effort to go say hi and introduce himself. Reggie has by far the best relationship with their neighbors, so he's usually the one who kindly asks them to quiet down a little because Luke and Julie are in Writing Mood and the noise is making them stressed, which is making Alex stressed, which makes Reggie want to vacate the premises as soon as humanly possible. Considering they're a band in their early 20s, the four of them are actually the quietest apartment in the building
- Julie, though, Julie's the one willing to yell at their neighbors. She may be small and innocent looking, and she really does hate confrontation, but she can destroy you with a single damn look that makes you regret your entire life. The other three just let stuff go usually, but after about 10 incidents of neighbor issues that aren't noise, Julie gets ready to blow and the boys just stand back and let it happen. They tried to stop her once and just got caught in the crossfire. It's even worse if Flynn has been staying over when Julie gets mad because Flynn will hype her up and support her even if she has no idea what the neighbors did
- For the most part they all do their own laundry because they have an in-unit washer dryer, so it's easy to just throw in a load, but if they're doing all their clothes or towels and things at once, Julie is definitely in charge of the laundry. The boys do not understand the concept of delicates or how to properly wash bras and things, so Julie does Not let them touch her clothes. She's had too many shirts shrunk in the wash because of them. And the boys' clothes never seem to come out cleaner than when Julie washes them. The one thing they all insist on washing themselves are underwear and sheets (because let's face it, all of them are in a relationship and things are bound to get at least a little messy, and they might be Close with each other, but no one needs to deal with that when doing the laundry)
- When it comes to holidays, decorating is always, always, always a group activity. They invite Flynn and Willie over when they do, and it becomes like a little party with the six of them. They dress up for whatever they're decorating for (in Halloween costumes, Santa hats and reindeer antlers for Christmas, reds and pinks for Valentine's day) and make hot chocolate, no matter the time of year. The entire apartment looks like holidays threw up on it, but it makes them smile and laugh every time, so they always do it
That’s all I’ve got right now!! If you have any questions about who does what or anything, feel free to send them my way and maybe I’ll do a part 2!! If you made it this far thank you very much for reading and I hope you enjoyed <3

Rowing the Rarepair Rowboat: Julynn | Julie Molina x Flynn (Julie and the Phantoms)
Requested by @halfthealphabet and anonymous
Julie looks up as Flynn casually strides into the garage, stopping her mid-play. She pauses for a moment, eyes darting around. Julie laughs.
"You know they're visible now, right?" Julie reminds her. "If they were here, you'd be able to see them."
Flynn shrugs, and stops looking for the boys. "I know. You can just never be sure when new ghosts are gonna pop up."
Julie rolls her eyes, saying, "Trust me, I think the guys are the only ghosts who are going to be doing that around here. Except maybe Willie, Alex's friend, but I haven't seen him yet, and neither has Alex."
"Is he okay?" Flynn asks, a sad crease between her brows as she walks over to join Julie at the piano. "You know, what with not being able to see this guy now that he's alive and his friend is still . . . well, dead."
Sighing, Julie shrugs, because she honestly doesn't know how to answer.
"He's . . . dealing with it, I guess. He seems to be avoiding the subject altogether."
"Can't blame him," Flynn says, sliding onto the bench beside Julie. "I'll talk to him later, see if he'll open up. I have a way with words, you know."
Julie smiles, giving a soft chuckle at Flynn's little braid flip over her shoulder.
"Well, if you're so good with words, then how about you help me with this song."
Flynn positively lights up. She nods, all eager, and gestures to the sheet music and scribbled pages of lyrics on top of the piano. Julie nods for her to go ahead, and she picks them up, going over what she's got so far.
That little crease appears between her eyebrows again. Except it's accompanied by a smile this time, tugging the corner of her lips up slowly.
"Is this--is this for the band to play?" Flynn asks, glancing up at her. "Because, your next gig is at the next school dance, and this seems a little personal. Unless you're going for romantic, slow dancing zombies, vampires, and ghosts. Which, actually, you might be."
With another roll of her eyes, Julie laughs, tugging the sheet music back towards her. "No," she says. "It's just something I was working on. It's not for the band."
"So . . . It's not for Luke either, then?"
There's a teasing edge to Flynn's voice as she asks, and her grin is wide, eyebrows raised as if sensing some drama on the rising. But there's also something else beneath it all. A little too forced, a little too hopeful.
"Actually," Julie shakes her head, "no. It's not for Luke. Or . . . About Luke. Or Nick!" she adds as Flynn opens her mouth to clearly ask the question. "It's just from this poem I wrote a while ago, and I put in my dream box, but I never really got around to finishing it or giving it a melody or anything."
Flynn's just staring at her now, and Julie has to avert her own gaze down to the piano keys to avoid suspicion, because she's sure it's written all over her face. It always is when it comes to Flynn.
Flybb ooks back over the music sheets, nodding. "I think I know what wouks go great at that part," she finally says, pointing to one of the blank spaces in the lyrics.
Julie hands her the pen she had been using and watches her scribble something down. When Flynn pushes the page back toward her, Julie smiles. Bites the inside of her cheek so it's not too obvious.
"Yeah, that's--that's perfect," she says.
"It seems like it'd make a great duet," Flynn says, raising an eyebrow.
Julie nods. "Wanna sing it with me, then?"
Her fingers are already moving across the keys, playing the start of the slow melody as she looks over at her. Flynn hesitates a second, something glinting in her eyes. But then she's smiling back, and she looks at sheets of lyrics and starts singing. Julie joins in a moment later at her part.
With Flynn's additonal lyrics, it really does sound perfect. Julie can't help but keep glancing at Flynn as they sing, especially when they're in harmony, and neither seem able to wipe the growing smiles from their faces when theirs eyes keep locking.
When they finally fade out at last, and Julie plays the last note, Flynn shakes her head.
"It's . . . a beautiful love song. Or poem, I guess." Flynn smiles at her. "You should perform it, properly. With the band. Everyone would love it."
But Julie shakes her head, her eyes never leaving Flynn's. "I'll only sing it if you sing it with me. Trust me, the boys will be happy to sit this one out."
"You sure?" Flynn asks it as if Julie might not be getting something, might be overlooking something. Her smile's almost nervous as she says, "It's pretty romantic."
Julie doesn't leave room for any doubt as she says, "Then you're definitely the one I want to sing it with. Is that . . . okay with you?"
Flynn's eyes are wide, and she looks almost frozen for a moment. Then she breathes out a soft laugh. She gives a half nod, half shake of her head, but she's smiling with her lips pressed together like she's trying not to.
"Yeah," she says. "That's okay with me."
