on the edge of great

hey friends, so i don’t think this is going to be a permanent thing, and this blog won’t be deleted or anything but i am going to be moving luke over to my multi ( @lcstupstate ) for a bit, as this is just easier for me at the moment. i’m trying to get back into the hang of things/writing again and only having to juggle one blog (well - plus the other jatp sideblog but that’s also v low activity), will just be easier for me right now. especially because real life is a bit busy at the moment and yeah. so please catch him/us over there, give a follow if you haven’t already and see you there <3

brows furrow together at him, forcing herself to not laugh a bit. it wasn’t funny fully but the idea that he would forget for a moment was.’’i promise i’m not caleb in disguise, i think he’d have better things to actually do.’’ she remarked an sighed at his next words.’’if not for me, can you stay still for julie? … oh yeah? really? where do you have to be?’’ flynn spoke, head tilting.’’i was trying to be nice–’’

luke continued to pointedly ignore his slip up, not quite easily willing to admit his mistake. “thanks for that reassurance, but i wasn’t worried about that. i’d know if you were caleb, he’s like, too old and grumpy to pull of being a pretty teenage girl.” he shrugged, though her next words had him groaning. “but i’m bored.” he complained, dragging out the ‘d’. “if you’re going to make me do this, can’t you at least make it entertaining?” he paused, trying to think of a quick lie to her question, but not really being able to come up with anything. “okay ... fine. maybe i don’t have to actually be anywhere, but this is so boring. and okay, but i still don’t need your bribery.”

luke hadn’t been expecting her to suddenly offer him a place to stay and his eyes widen a little, one hand going to rub the back of his neck. maybe he shouldn’t have been so open about where he sleeps. “oh, uh, no that’s okay really. sleeping at the studio, it’s kind of my own choice, really. and i don’t mind it there.” there’s a small shrug, not even admitting to himself that this may not be entirely true. “it’s a great way to get more songs written, y’know? all the instruments are right there and everything, it’s kind of perfect. like a musician’s dream.”

       she grins as he gives her the go-ahead. julie had noticed earlier that luke wasn’t being his usual self, but rather than push and pry to find out what was wrong, she’s offering comfort instead. “ please, what do you think i am? some kind of savage? of course there’s marshmallows! ” she shakes her head at him, a dramatic sigh falling past her lips, “ have you not learned to never underestimate me, patterson? ” if her mom’s hot chocolate recipe doesn’t do the trick, she’ll turn to plan b. it involves her dream box, but julie’s fairly confident that plan a will work just fine.

luke’s smile brightens just the slightest bit more, but it’s still not his usual smile and it’s obvious he’s still not doing great. he’s willing to give this a try though, despite his doubt. maybe julie will actually be onto something, but either way, he’s truly just happy to be able to spend more time around. she seems to make everything just a little bit better. the quietest light laugh makes it’s way past his lips and he gives a small nod. “okay, okay, sorry i just had to make sure. i’ve met some people who don’t do marshmallows and they’ve made my question my entire life choices.” smile stays on his face, softening just the slightest bit as he looks to her. “oh believe me jules, i never underestimate you.”

       “ kinda sounds like you’re speaking from experience there, bud. ”  it wouldn’t surprise him if it was something luke often heard, considering he’d heard the same thing multiple times when he’d be in the basement thrashing around on the drums. “ if i was an old person, i’d have a rose garden in the front yard, ” he muses, a determined nod implying that he’s got it all figured out, “ you know what i mean? just be out there, pretending to be minding my business tending to it, but really i’m just listening in on my neighbours’ arguing. someone’s gotta bring the gossip to the early morning power walking group. ”

“well yeah, my old neighbor mr. adams, he was always complaining my music was ‘too loud’ because i’d play it with my windows open. it’s not my fault he just so happened to be taking his dog out at the same time every day that i’d be playing music.” there’s a roll of his eyes as luke let out a little huff, arms crossing over his chest, remembering it all too clearly. though at alex’s comment, an eyebrow raises and a laugh escapes him. “yeah lex? i think you’d be the coolest old person, i’d come to you for all the hot gossip.” he nudges him slightly, grinning wide. “i think if i was an old person i’d try to be doc brown from back to the future. everyone think’s he’s all insane and weird, but in reality he’s rad as hell. it’d keep all the annoying people away.”

@sunsetsphantom​ gets a starter!

    “ excuse me, guitar boy- ” carrie’s trailing a couple of steps behind him, trying to grab his attention, “ hey! alex gaskarth knock-off, i’m talking to you. ” she has no idea what his name is, never bothered to listen in on julie’s conversations long enough to find out. but there’s something strange about her mysterious new hologram boyfriend ( is he her boyfriend? ), and it has everything to do with her father. “ why do you and your friends freak my dad out so much? he’s been acting like he saw a ghost ever since your show. ”

luke isn’t meaning to ignore carrie, he just simply does not realize she’s talking to him. as far he knows she can’t see him, so when she finally catches his attention and he realizes she is indeed talking to him, his eyes widen and it takes everything in him not to immediately blurt out and ask how she’s able to see him. he looks at her carefully, blinking a few times at what he assumes is supposed to be an insult, based on her tone, but not at all understanding it. “uh ... who?” he asks, head tilting to the side in curiosity. though, as the next words tumble out of her mouth, his eyes widen once more and he lets out a slightly nervous laugh. “oh, uh, that? honestly, i got no idea. i don’t even know who your dad is ... maybe you should try asking him about it? maybe holograms just really freak him out or something?”

the excitement was beaming off the princess as she was practically running in high speed. nearly tripping along the way that others started watching. but she never cared. by the time she reached luke, a squeak left her lips, “luke! i caught a butterfly!”

amusement played at luke’s lips as sonny made her way over, eyebrows raising when he saw her trip, slight concern flaring in his chest. but she seemed relatively okay and not too bothered by it, so he brushed it off. once she got close, a wide smile came to his lips, her enthusiasm practically infectious. “oh yeah? well let’s see it then.” genuine curiosity in his tone.

@sunsetsphantom liked for a starter for luke & stanley !

slender   fingers   retrieve   marble -  swirled   bowling   balls   from         the         gutter ,   radio   blasting   fleetwood   mac   from   the   shitty   radio   in    the   snack   bar.   he   sucks   his   teeth    as   clamorous  knocking   starts ,   &   off   key   humming   of   '   silver   springs   '   falters.     "      we're   closed !   "      

luke ceases his knocking once he hears the call out of ‘we’re closed!’, frown almost immediately forming on his face. he swears the place is usually still open now, but maybe he’d read the sign wrong. tiny sigh escapes, disappointment seeping through him. though, after a second, an idea hits him. “uh, well - what if i’m not here to bowl?” he calls back carefully, hope evident in his tone.

           “Just go away,” Reggie grumbles as he had buried himself into his pillows, blankets curled around himself as he was trying to shut himself off, has been for the past few days. Not answering calls or texts, he doesn’t need his friends saying they were right. “I’m sick!” It’s a lie, but it’s the only excuse he’s been using to not go to any writing sessions. Pushing away the ones who want to help probably isn’t the best idea, but it’s how he seems to be dealing with this right now.

“Reg ... ” Luke begins, a sigh making it’s way past his lips, trying to brush past the hurt he feels from Reggie’s rejection. It’s been hard, hardly ever having Reggie around thanks to her, but now the desire to see the other is even stronger. He’s worried, he knows Reggie can’t be taking this well and he wants to be there for him. “Come on, let me in. Please? I just wanna check on you.” A pause. “I’m not here to say ‘i told you so’ or anything like that, I just wanna be here for you, man. I know you’re hurting right now.”

[ luke ] magic /is/ a complicated thing and the no magic rule complicated it further in my opinion [ luke ] it’s not a magic journey if you don’t at least blow one thing in your life [ luke ] you never know. growing up with it, i felt like the adults in my life didn’t trust me with it [ luke ] it was annoying all the ‘secret’ classes

[ morgan ] oh? tell me more about it? [ morgan ] well now i wish i did have magic ... [ morgan ] i'm sorry about that, mor :/ [ morgan ] that’s kind of dumb though, like couldn’t fgm had just done spell on you or something to repress it? [ morgan ] not that that would’ve been a whole lot better but it could’ve saved you from feeling weird and like they didn’t trust you and having to hide a part of yourself from everyone and stuff
