ngl i wish there were more books and fanfic in AAVE/Ebonics set during the 21st century. There's something very comfortin' about seeing the way you converse everyday with your family and friends on paper that really puts things into perspective. Even more scenes of family cookouts, talks with grandma about childhood and when you see her recounting instances that you immediately recognize as racism, spinin' da nite with your cousins, flinching from the hot comb, hbcu parties/frat probate practice, etc. Those are little pockets that carry so many funny, sweet, sad moments. We really live in a different world and its something to see it all laid out and be like 'damn we really livin' like dis' whether its on how we influence the whole world, mindin' out black ass business, or how we have to live with the world constantly shitin' on us. But also I wanna see how our languages and dialects have evolved since Black Classics.
