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.

SHAO AND DIZZEE INTERACTED

SHAO KNOWS ABOUT DIZZEE

BYE

[lost-andfound]

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.

TGD MERCH DISCUSSION

alright so, i’ve been getting some feedback about the prices of my jackets, which I can’t bring down.

buuuuut, i want to be able to produce more Get Down merch for ya’ll because I am LOVING seeing you all in my jackets!

If anyone has any ideas for the type of stuff they want to be buying - send me ideas! I am extremely skilled in textiles as well as trained in graphic design, so I’ll try and take most ideas into consideration !

also, tell me what price ranges you wanna be seeing, because that’ll be a huge factor too!
