Neighborhood Favorites Season 2 Trailer
I plan to take the viewer on the journey of rediscovering Washington DC, people, places, and things. When people think of DC, their mind automatically goes to politics. Through Neighborhood Favorites, it is my goal to show viewers the DC that I know and love: a world class city with beautiful architecture, stunning culture and nightlife, an exciting dining scene and a thriving fashion industry. Each episode of Neighborhood Favorites will showcase DC through a lens of prosperity and cultural richness.

DC posting…Georgetown has the cutest little townhouses and gorgeous historic apartment buildings. That being said you would have to live in Georgetown.
#APPALLING traffic. lack of public transit by downtown dc standards#prices obscene. full of the sort of people who live in Georgetown#SAD. if only we could transport those buildings elsewhere#even if I could afford to live in Georgetown I don’t think I would want to aside from the architecture

Thank you thank you thank you so much for sharing your writing with us - I really have enjoyed every word!! Seeing the edges of Ice and Mav's wedding was lovely, but I wasn't expecting them to have invited VIPER of all people. Can I grab a full guest list of the people who you think they would have wanted there to bear witness to the legal proof of their relationship?
they invited viper for the meta reason of “in my fanfiction he basically got ice & mav together & then i kinda forgot about him as a character when he was their friend & coworker at miramar for over a decade oops” & also i think age gaps closing as you get older is super interesting… viper not being mav’s dad figure anymore cause they’re both old as shit… they’re just pals now… drinking buddies… the earth is healing…
i am still secondhand embarrassed for ice & mav actually having a wedding, seems super out of character, i only made them invite their friends because it was the climax of the friendship arc in Slider but imo it otherwise doesn’t make any sense, the wedding would’ve been actually excruciating to write in any detail
but here’s an off the cuff wedding invite list sure
slider, sarah (😏), Cougar, sundown, hondo, rooster, hangman, Hollywood, wolfman, chipper, [it’s been so long since I’ve seen top gun i forgor the other pilots’ call signs so add your favorite background character here], viper, rear admiral chester cain for the meme (he RSVPs no), extremely select members of ice’s staff (COS e.g.), a couple of mav’s friends if he has any (unlikely)… Penny? no. she’s an ex. it would be weird.
#there’s a lot of shitlib lib shit in extras part two#ice & mav having an actual wedding included#this is due to me writing the majority of it during or directly after my Washington DC internship#& feeling incredibly hopeful about the liberal state of affairs#😐#then october rolled around and…#anyway my politics wrt this project change weekly; aftershocks is especially shitlibby#you all are watching my politics develop in REAL TIME#like a bug under a microscope#anyway i still don’t even know where their wedding actually took place#home?? downtown??#no idea. begging you as the reader to fill in the blanks because i was cringing the whole time i was typing#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#top gun#icemav#asks#edts notes

my history class is focusing heavily on statues (for their own sake, and as representatives for national mythmaking writ large) and this is the first time in my life that I've wanted to post more discussion questions than the requirement. I fucking love huge statues, man
#i swear i'm not trying to kiss ass i just really want to talk about the Grant statue outside the capitol#and whether it's mildly subverting all the other equestrian statues in downtown dc (I think it is. mildly.)#mostly because the conquering hero looks totally miserable

More Shazamily/Marvel Family headcanons
Billy has a deep seated hatred for the Indiana Jones movies, there is no force on earth that can get him to watch any of the movies the whole way through
Normal magic rules don’t really apply to them in practice, they break and bend the rules a lot without realizing it. It’s one of the many perks of being champions and guardians of eternity, magic just goes with them and what they want to do
Have used spells from fantasy media’s to see if they work in real life; They do work but only for them, so each member of the Shazamily has a trump card in the form of random spells from random kids tv shows but they all use wands when they remember to just incase a spell backfires
Darla copied Star vs the forces of evil’s spells, no Fawcett villain likes admitting that they got beat by a Narwal Blast or a Warnicorn Stampede. Uses her wide array of princess and fairy wands she already has
Eugene, as seen in the first Shazam! movie, copy’s mortal combat moves and phrases. Doesn’t use a wand or a stand in for one much but uses a classic magicians wand from a magic kit he got
Billy binge watched every episode of Ben 10 and made a spread sheet of magical attacks shown in the show with Freddy to copy. Both use “Scribo in incendia” to multitask with homework and “Somus” to fall right asleep after patrol. Freddy uses his foam Wonder Woman sword and Billy just has a stick he picked up one day when he was 9 and hasn’t let go of since
Mary has copied some phrases from Sabrina the Teenage witch with varying levels of success, in part due to her not having full confidence in every attempt she makes. Bought one of those fancy wands with a gemstone at the end of them to cast spells
Pedro took a page out of Harry Potter and started using Latin to come up with his own spells. Uses whatever he has on hand as a wand, be it a pencil or the spork he was eating his lunch with
Billy has an older portable movie player he got as a hand me down gift from a foster sibling and a CD booklet with some kids movies in it that he’s held onto, its how he passed his rare instances of downtime when he was still homeless. Liked borrowing movies from local libraries to watch on it, some of the discs he actually owns are Matilda, the Night at the Museum trilogy, the Iron Giant, Tangled, Atlantis: the Lost Empire, and a CD copy of the second season of The Worlds Greatest Animal Detective; Tawky Tawny.
Freddy spends the first few years of his hero career pretending to be able bodied, constantly using his flight as a mobility aid, but decides later on to utilize a Wizards staff formed in a way to double as a crutch for him.
Followed by pidgins relentlessly. If a pidgin can go there they follow the Marvels everywhere. They’re chill, don’t steal their food or land on them, but they follow them everywhere. They all collectively blame Hermes influence as a patron god of messengers since pidgins are messenger birds (and yes it is the fault of his divine influence on them)
Billy got permission from the Wizard and other greek goddesses to have separate blessings for his sisters (Agility of Selene, Strength of Hippolyta, Stamina of Artemis, Flight of Zephyrus, Invulnerability of Aurora, and the Wisdom of Minerva) for the sole reason of keeping the influence and voices of Billy’s patrons out of their heads and away from them. (Because there’s no way in any form of hell he’s cursing Mary or Darla with Zeus to be in their heads)
They can talk to animals with the omnilinguistics the Wisdom of Solomon gives them, if anyone on the mortal plane can understand the language so can they. This has led to people seeing Captain Marvel coo back and forth with pidgins like they’re having a conversation (they’re talking about favorite snacks) and the one time he interrogated a rat through small squeaks to know which way a group of smugglers went.
Billy is an awesome gift giver, every year when the justice league has their annual white elephant on Dec 20th people pray they get their names drawn by him. He got Wally a bunch of shoes that were enchanted to not wear down from his speeding (dress shoes, running shoes, slippers, flip flops, the works), did some dimension hopping and time traveling to get a box full of Kryptonian books for Clark (including a collection of folklore with English translations so he can read a bedtime story to Jon), and a crud ton of sweets from the Funlands for J’onzz (including a giant Choco’s cookie big enough to sleep on.)
Freddy’s YouTube channel has a lot of videos of the Shazamily testing their powers based on comments, it has 2.3 million followers and the ad revenue they all rake in goes to helping out with the expenses at home and buying a lot of games at a 50/50 split
They are literally the only group of child vigilantes that are home in time for curfew/bed consistently, they’re more daytime heroes. The only exception being Billy when he has to go off world or to another dimension for League/Champion business but he always tells the Vasquez’s about them so they can call him in sick from school
Billy worked out an agreement with Harley Quinn so that him and his siblings could have semi-regular therapy appointments (hero/villain work permitting), she works her degree every other Tuesday and in return she gets Superman style flights whenever she wants and access to magical plant stuff for Ivy. Victor and Rosa worried about their kids mental health with all the responsibility and horrors of hero life but had no idea how to start getting them professional support for it so they’re glad Billy was able to find someone already in that life who could help and isn’t likely to endanger their identities.
#A mix and match of all my favorite Shazam lore#billy being a certified magical girl AND Disney princess with his powers#Darla definitely has that official spell book from SVTFOE it was probably a gift that turned out to be really useful#Eugene strikes more fear into the hearts of their villains than any other Shazamily member#the sheer embarrassment of knowing you got beat with a kamehameha or haduken deals so much psychic damage#Freddy thought about using his cane for magic but doesnt want to risk breaking it with a rouge spell#Billy just went the classic wizard route and magically bonks people with a stick and now hes attached#Mary has either started or joined a witch coven even if its just her and Darla practicing potion making#billy used to like the Disney movie Hercules but having Heracles and Zeus in your head nitpicking the whole thing each time kinda ruined it#Lik yes Heracles we get you actually went mad and killed Meg and this movie make you feel salty but let a kid enjoy zero to hero in peace#let Freddy have some body positivity dc you cowards#CM:(coos at a pidgin while looking for the legion of dooms hideout)#supes:Captain what-#CM:Bailey says they have this apartment complex rented out theyre using in the downtown area. lets go#supes:??????#/////#shazam#billy batson#dc#dc captain marvel#captain marvel dc#dc comics#shazamily

My "Private & even public institutions, no matter their domain, function relative 2 cities & towns they occupy, a propos property ownership, influence on local zoning law, displacement of low-income + non-white communities / ability to weight legislation in their favor, Broadly Speaking, The Same In The United States of America" t-shirt is raising many questions that are answered by the shirt
#See the U of C Obama Center in Chicago vs. Middlebury College#vs. US gov't & its many octopus arms in downtown DC#vs. UVM in Burlington and UIC in Chicago and how you still have to sign a form saying you have no#affiliation with the Communist party if you work for a public uni or an institution affiliated with them including iirc the hospital but#I may be misremembering.

it feels night and summer // Judy Grahn
for Washington, D.C.
it feels night and summer, what squeals into the city is no eel, did it fool you. sweat, get ready breathe heavy heat gets to you rats, get to you cities lord, get to you is it the cruddy sky sets up that sense of pending rain or riot it feels anger even air knows danger thin white pause before the knife speaks neat between the ribs between the trap of streets the cats this night are people. pacing, faces strain of waiting rain or riot cats: come here lean lower, nuzzle midnight black and vicious flower it feels murder, clawing martyr do not falter do not linger it is the siren stains so red and deadly, city braced for mobs with stabbing axes, bodies asking to be bloodied, to be over drab and heavy getting ready it feels midnight, city lighted skies lay cool and mother-fingers on our heads, our faces taste of water falling slow, go home go easy, flow. blood and breaking next time, riot next time flame but not tonight be quiet wait get ready rain.
1966
