Because Ra Ra is in real estate and now owns half the old neighborhood, he keeps tabs on things. He doesn’t give Zeke shit for not coming home, but he won’t pass up a chance to let home come to him. Even when Zeke goes out to Berkeley for a doctorate where he splits time between Mylene’s Malibu home and his shitty grad student dorm in Oakland, he comes home on his birthday to find his common room chock full of Kipling siblings and spouses and, in Boo Boo’s case, children. It’s a stupidly fun night. Zeke spends most of it blinking back tears while everyone else exchanges money for how many times will Zeke cry bingo. Thor is so thin that they worry he's got it but it’s just the flu, but Yolanda is diagnosed with cancer the next year and Zeke spends most of his weekends in the waiting room of the chemo place with a pile of books across his knees, ostensibly searching for scholarly data but really scratching rhymes in the margins of moldy paperbacks. Mylene takes the day shifts with Yolanda, recording her solo album during nights. Regina is on her third husband and fifth cabaret contract. She moves out to Vegas the next year for a solo residency gig with everyone’s blessing, though he suspects there’s bitterness that will never truly heal— but the girls still go out there every New Year’s, so what does he know. What does he know of bitterness. Ra Ra tells him obliquely of Shaolin’s doings —  Les Inferno burned down, but a second location opened up under new management, L’asphodèle — there’s a new DJ coming up in Yonkers — Cadillac never collabs with anyone north of Van Cortlandt but it seems he’s willing to make an exception. Zeke graduates as a Doctor of Political Science and crosses that stage in his luscious robes and thinks of being on another stage with Shaolin.

Re-watching That 70's Show is really eye-opening to how different life was for white people (minus Fez) compared to black people. I love both shows, and I'm not trying to say one is better than the other, just the stark contrast which is really evident after watching TGD. The two shows really are the perfect example of white privilege and systematic racism, and it's really heartbreaking how much harder life was/is for black youth compared to white youth.

like family, like love, like blood

Dizzee moves differently around Thor. Shaolin tracks their movements with sharp eyes, used to catching every detail from his life on the streets. Dizzee stares at Thor like he’s a piece of art that lies just beyond his reach, like a sculpture by Michelangelo or one of those other dead white guys that Shao can’t be bothered to remember or to give a fuck about. They’re like, they’re magical around each other, like they’ve entered a different goddamn dimension or some corny shit like that, like they orbit around each other like planets, like, like… fuck, it’s hard to describe if you’ve never seen it. And Shao can’t help but see it. Every fucking time Dizzee brings Thor around (which ain’t too often, since Dizzee treats Thor like he’s some sort of precious jewel who’d be tainted by spending too much time around other people) he drinks them in like a dying man, follows them around the room with his eyes. It ain’t often Shao sees a fellow alien, let alone two that seem to know each other like they know the night sky. The rest of the crew don’t get it–they think Thor’s just some white boy that Dizzee writes with–but Shao knows. Shao sees.

Thor’s something special.

And god, watching them watch each other in that shy, hungry way? It hurts. It really fucking hurts because, yeah, that’s it –that’s the way he watches Books when he thinks nobody’s looking. Shit, thinks Shao one night, smoking a blunt and lying on his mattress with Mylene’s annoying-ass voice telling him he’s not good enough running on a loop through his head, I’m fucking ruined.

2. what fandoms were apart of that you aren’t any longer?

I don’t flounce out as much as fandoms just die out or I get fixated on something new SO i’m using this as an excuse for a chronological fandom history. how many people will hate me when I’m done, let’s find out.

LISTEN this is possible the most annoying post I’ve ever created but was also very fun so I’m answering the rest of these in a separate post bc it got too long already.

but, you all should feel free to ask me if I was ever in one of your fandoms because at this rate signs point to yes.

Bandom is I think what I first found fic for. look, i KNOW. i KNOW. i was a child. specifically I remember reading stuff for The Libertines (I KNOWWW leave me alone. I am aware. There were some really good writers for it, everyone was doing it, idk man). and god REALLY early on, like what, early middle school? I remember a lot of those pop-emo bandom fics particularly. jesus this is embarrassing. but ry*n r*ss / br*nd*n ur*e fic. I’m sure there were others but let’s move on before the cringe incapacitates me.

House/Wilson on LJ babeyyy. Where I was introduced to hurt/comfort. Fun times. Related, Sherlock Holmes. Inescapable. All versions.

pre-MCU Marvel - fully comics based. X-Men had the best fics. I remember loving in particular - Peter Parker/Johnny Storm, anything with Jubilee, I personally shipped Shadowcat/Jean Grey before I knew what shipping or the internet or fandom was, I loved Gambit/Wolverine and I remember some really good Gambit/Nightcrawler fics. Lot of discourse on the nature of being monstrous in those that was interesting. I would read Hawkeye and anyone because he had good and totally different dynamics with so many different characters but I did have a soft spot for Clint/Bucky, Clint/Sam, and Clintasha. oh I was also into Bucky/Natasha because I did really love comics Black Widow. the less popular ones that i loved were - Sunspot/Cannonball, SamBucky, Jessica JSilk/Black Cat, MJ/Gwen Stacy, Peter/Harry Osborn, Sam/Bucky,  Elektra/Natasha, Foggy/Matt, Kate Bishop/America Chavez, Daredevil/Black Panther, the Heroes for Hire polycule, god I think Angel/Quicksilver purely bc of Marvel 1602, honestly there were a lot. This would need it’s own post because comics are a bunch of attractive people with interesting dynamics and plenty of What If? opportunities.  

Speak of comics, I was also into DC - Superbat, Booster Gold/Blue Beetle, Kaldur’ahm/Superboy (literally no one was into this besides me lmfao), was and am a huge Batfam fan, I am 100% a Damian Wayne apologist, oh was and tbh still kind of am really into Dick Grayson/Clint Barton fic. Yes I realize that’s insane but idk love the concept of carnies in love. Wonder Woman/Meera, Constantine/Zatanna, Zatanna/Wonder Woman, Constantine/King Shark now of course, Harley/Ivy, Harley/Ivy/Selina, Kate Kane/Renee Montoya, Constatine/Dream, Vi you turned me on to au teen girl Chastantine and I love that. Again, I’m sure there are more.

The Social Network also on LJ babeyyy. Of course Markwardo, but there were some great writers that made a really compelling case for Sean/Eduardo.

Heroes - specifically Matthinder which was ICONIC and still deserves so much more attention. They RAISED A CHILD TOGETHER. Honestly I was into Mohinder/anyone though.

MI-5 which was me and like 4 other people. Adam/Zaf is still my all time favorite ship that has zero engagement whatsoever. I know in my heart that Zaf faked his death and met up with Adam who let him retire with him in secret and safety. For something even more obscure that I care about way too much - Vik/Jez endgame and Vik/Rob as friends with benefits from Spooks: Code 9. I have a very detailed story in my head about them but maybe 7 people total watched that show before it was cancelled. Rob is probably the most villainous character that I’m into. 

Torchwood - yes Janto, also Owen/Ianto again purely because there were some really good writers for it.

If we’re getting into my obscure fandom phase - Primeval: New World. Mac/Evan and Mac/Connor. I could talk about this forever, I think it’s such a fascinating and tragic story but I won’t because no one will have any idea wtf I’m talking about 

Of course Doctor Who. Come on man. I was a sucker for Nine/Rose, Nine/Jack, Eleven/Rory/Amy, and Amy/Rory. Martha was my favorite companion but I didn’t really like Ten and he was a dick to her. 

Dear White People -  Sam/Coco, Sam/Jo, Troy/Lionel, Jo/Reggie, Reggie/Lionel (did this make sense? no. did I think it’d be hot? yeah.) GOD LIONEL/SILVIO UNTIL SILVIO WAS EVIL. 

Xena and Gabrielle/Xena

White Collar - Neal/Peter & Neal/Burkes

The Get Down - Shao/Zeke, Pretty Dizzee D/Thor, god these kids!!! 

MASH - Hawkeye/BJ

HP but literally the tiniest corner of it, had a mild interest in Ron/Draco & Ron/Harry so I barely checked it out bc that was pretty niche

the Gene Wilder multiverse. oh also the Gene Kelly multiverse. both the Genes always give themselves a boyfriend and a girlfriend that are gorgeous and hilarious.

I still haven’t seen Jurassic Park III but I think Billy/Dr. Grant are in love

Indiana Jones - I read. Every single one of the novels. I watched Young Indiana Jones. I adored him. 

The Flash TV - this one I did actually leave. I was in it for Cisco, Wally, and Iris. I think Iris/Barry are sweet, and I also liked Cisco/Barry, Cisco/Wally, and Iris/Cisco. I just lost interest in the show. 

Legends of Tomorrow - Sara/all her girlfriends throughout time

Dragon Age - yeah I love Anders/Fenris & Dorian/Iron Bull. I think Cullen/Dorian has the occasional good fic but it’s definitely hit or miss. 

Star Wars - oh star war. how do i hate thee. let me recount the ways. No I still love Hanleia, Landoleia, Han/Lando, Hanluke, Leia/Mara Jade, Mara Jade/Arden Lyn, Luke/Mara Jade, FinnPoe (My LOVES), uhhh that’s it. I do also love Black Squadron and Rapier Squadron. Jess/Kare Kun was underrated although Kare/Snap is also fun. I saw Rose/Kaydel Ko and that was real galaxy brained.

Mad Men - I really did love Don & Betty’s dynamic post-divorce. Also him and Peggy - not romantically at all but just something cold and sharp.

Firefly - Mal/Simon, and Kay/Inara. I’d read Jayne/Simon bc there was more of it but it was not my fave at all

Community - Trobed my beloved

GLOW - everyone on this show had a great dynamic AND i love my brown lesbians <33

Game of Thrones - but I never got past the first book so. Theon/Robb and Theon/Jon, Sansa/Marjorie Tyrell, I do like the occasional Theon/Sansa

The Exorcist (TV) - Tomas/Marcus was SO good man. 

Glee - Brittana supremacy, Finn/Kurt was nice at first, and weirdly so was Puck/Kurt when written in a very specific way. 

Shadowhunters - listen I’ve only seen like 3 episodes of this but I like the fandom and Magnus/Alec are gorgeous

Rogue One - Bodhi/Cassian my beloved. Also love your Kes/Cassian stuff

MCU - listen I do still maintain ca:tws was a samsteve meetcute. 

United States of Tara - this was just a great show

okay have I alienated everyone yet. I’m sure there are more but this has been a LOT already.

Shao may be a bad motherfucker

But I’m a sad motherfucker

We are all The Get Down, part 1. (part 2)

[adizzee]

ok i’ve posted so many fics lately and wanted them all here so here is A List:

wanted to know some more -- “You play guitar?” Thor, sitting comfortably on the floor, looks up from the quote he’s painting on the wall. His blonde hair falls into his face but he pushes it away, leaving a purple smudge on his cheek. “Yeah. My dad taught me awhile back.”

light of the moon -- Dizzee sneaks out to see Thor.

until the night turns -- It’s summer and they really don’t want to do anything except be with each other.

everything may be gold -- Thor really likes mythology and Dizzee really likes listening to him.

dissolving like the setting sun -- Dizzee wants to talk to Yolanda. Turns out, she wants to talk to him, too.

darkness will be rewritten -- Napoleon has a nightmare.
