Luke X Alex - Tumblr Posts

Okay but is it just me who thinks there's so much more to Carrie than we've been shown so far? She's just not the usual asshole popular girl.

Like in episode 3 when Nick said "You two used to be friends" and Carrie replies with a huge amount of salt like she's hurt that he would even remind her of that. Like something happened between Julie and Carrie that hurt Carrie so much she became cold and distant. Cause if you listen to the way Julie talks about the time when they were friends, you wouldn't believe she was talking about Carrie since the way she's shown from the outside is nothing like what Julie knew.

It's almost like Julie did something that she didn't realise hurt Carrie as much as it did, and Julie just thought Carrie became too cool to be friends with her. But also seems like she hasn't actually told anyone about it. The way Nick acts about it is the same way Julie acts about it. Like they think she's just a stuck up asshole. I think she's just really hurt and is trying to frame off her feelings from not only the world but herself.

I mean, something must have happened for their friendship to turn that sour, right?

Okay, I've just finished jatp for the 4th time in about two weeks... anyway, I realised something at the end of episode 9. This might just be me being the sap that I am, but the way Alex so instinctively grabs a hold of Luke's hand at the end of the Stand Tall performance is making me question everything. Like, I get that Reggie and Luke didn't grab onto Julie cause they couldn't, but it's just something in the way Alex grabbed Luke's hand that speaks differently than it usually does. It kinda reminds me of that scene from like the last episode of season 6 of teen wolf where Mason grabs Corey's hand when they're in the hospital

(I couldn't find a gif of the moment I was talking about but it's right after this lmao)

Anyway

That's all I had to say. Idk what I was trying to prove but to me it makes sense that Alex and Luke are exes. Just the way they act around and talk to each other differs from the way they act around and talk to Reggie. It's like their friendship and bond is made up of a different kind of string, if that makes sense

Episode 4

Julie: Wow Luke, I didn't know you were such a romantic

Alex: *quick as lightning* He's not

I- how'd you know, Alex?🤔

I just thought of something...

The boys are originally obsessed with confronting Bobby, right?

Well, why didn't they just get Julie to play a song with them in front of Bobby? They could write a song about their feelings of betrayal toward him? The way they did with Flynn. Reggie even managed to talk to Flynn in the Flying Solo performance so wouldn't that have made sense?

I'm thinking too much these days, but if you listen to the lyrics of "You got nothing to lose", there's a line like "Listen to the words a wise man said; he said "Covington, I got an offer that you can't refuse""

This could be a reference to when Caleb first became a ghost and how he got into the whole ghost club scene. How he got the same offer that he's giving the boys from another ghost.

As a firm believer that no one is born evil (some exceptions absolutely do occur), I think there's a lot more to Caleb's character than let's on.

I have two theories as of now.

1. He could be out for revenge. 

This could be his “modified” unfinished business. He could have gotten into the deal himself centuries ago and he’s been looking for someone to pass the deal onto so that he himself can pass on. It might seem selfish but really it’s only human. Self-preservation is the only way to survive, right? Not that Caleb has that problem anymore but you get the point. So really, I don’t think he’s evil in the way he’s perceived.

2. He genuinely thinks what he’s doing is right.

This theory comes from the “no one is born evil” belief. If you think about it, what he’s doing could absolutely, in the right context not seem as terrible. He’s offering the boys a secure way to keep doing music together forever, and be seen by actual people. His motivation methods are extremely wrong but you know, we don’t know how long he’s been dead and his perception of society might be so incredibly ancient that the only way of negotiation he knows of is through violence. But like I said, I don’t think he’s necessarily a bad or evil person. 

So, in conclusion, I don’t think Caleb is the villain we’re all seeing him as. He’s desparate. He’s lonely. He’s probably bored out of his witts to be honest. Imagine playing the same song over and over again. As a musician myself, and performer to some extent (eh, mostly school related concerts), I can absolutely see the joy in performing like that. Hell, I would do anything to get to perform like that. But for all eternity? Come on!

Personally, I think Caleb is just a bit old school and he needs someone to guide him through the improved ways of the world

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I hope you have a wonderful day and happy holidays!

Luke is still pissed at Alex's parents. Even after Alex has moved on, Luke's still so mad at them for the way they treated Alex. The way he expressed himself in episode 2 when they were at the beach. The desperation he feels for Alex and how his whole expression shows it with that one line is incredible to me. I mean, it also proves how freaking talented Charlie is as an actor but that’s a different point.
