Rick McCloskey spent many of his evenings in the summer of 1972 photographing teenagers cruising Van Nuys Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley.

"Wednesday night was Cruise Night in the Valley. The Valley is a part of greater Los Angeles, and Van Nuys Boulevard was the place to cruise. The boulevard teemed with kids and cars from all over Southern California on Friday and Saturday nights as well, but Wednesday night was the big night for cruising. The boulevard ran straight and true from its southern beginning at Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks all the way north through Panorama City and beyond. If you were young during the 1950s, the 1960s, or the 1970s, and you owned or had access to a car, or a motorcycle, Van Nuys Boulevard was the place to be in the evenings. It was a terrific place to both see and be seen in and with your ride." - Rick McCloskey

You guys. Youuuu guyyysss. Nandor finally articulating that he WANTED Guillermo to be a vampire, that he so desperatly longed for them to stay, well, them, TOGETHER. But he knew, he KNEWWW all along that being a vampire was not the fate Guillermo deserved.

The show touches on how vampires miss their humanity: Laszlo inventing vampire spf and being so, so thrilled to be on the beach (i will not i will NOOOTTT put a list of "laszlo misses humanity, thats why he has fone x y z); Nadja seeking companionship within the greek diaspora, reconecting with her homeland; Nandor going to the human gym, Nandor leading an army of humans, Nandor literally stating with bitterness that he too was once human.

And i don't think that Nandor is aware of the nature of his feelings, not yet. He doesn't know why he wants to protect Guillermo from this fate. But he knows being a vampire is a cruel, cruel existance, and despite yearning for Guillermo to be one of them, he resists. He outright refuses. For Guillermo's sake.

Whatever people say, to me it IS a big deal that we have our first ever woman president and that she's leftish leaning (as much left as possible in a place with a dying left in general).

A lot of people went to vote and she won by a landslide, so this is definitely the will of the mexican people.

this is not directed at anything in particular so much as a lament ive made in private several times over the years and am thinking about again now but. i wish that fandom had not conflated the term "zine" with "artbook". because 99% of the "zines" i see are in fact artbooks, chapbooks, or art/writing anthologies. which to me are just so so different as products!!! instead of being fully handmade they are all being professionally bound by an outside company, often come with stickers/keychains/other perks that are 3rd party manufactured, etc... and to be clear i love these and have bought several, but!

they are to me kind of the antithesis of what the word "zine" should actually imply, in the traditional sense. a zine is something you make by hand and then photocopy for the dozen or so people in your circle. a zine can be just a single sheet of paper you folded up into 8 pages and scribbled on with pencil. they can get fancier than this but once you move from using a stapler (or if you're feeling fancy needle & thread) to needing to have things perfect bound & glued by a separate industry then!!!! we have moved up the sliding scale in terms of product, towards art/chapbook and away from zine. that's what those terms meant initially we just have... kept calling them zines anyway i guess, and now i think most younger people don't realize that the origins for "zines" were things you handmade and maybe snuck your school/work's photocopier to help produce for your friends. And they were made by one person, or maybe a small collab of 2-3. Once you start adding more artists/authors, and they're all making separate things (even if on a theme), now we have hit an anthology. you know?

because i would LOOOOVE fandom zines in the traditional sense of the word, just posting photos of short scrappy handmade art/comics and mailing them to mutuals for fun like you would a christmas card. idk. like i've made i think 8-10 personal little zines on all random topics in the past year just for fun and my friends, because they're rewarding and people LOVE getting something like that in the mail. they're little visual shitposts like "rating the 16 crayola crayons i found in my drawer" and "plants i have eaten while taking walks in the desert" and it would be really fun to have fandom equivalents of those too... but fandom these days has moved away from silly rough stuff towards everything being really polished + professional and it takes some of the charm out of it i think
