Released 48 long years ago on this day in 1977 ... one of #NewYork's finest #punkrock pioneers, Ramones with their 3rd studio album 'Rocket to Russia'
#Ramones #RocketToRussia #RockawayBeach
48 years since U2, eh? Really proves that U2 can happen to anyone...
Anyway, to celebrate these absolute wazzocks keeping their band together for almost half a century and changing so many people's lives with their music and lyrics, here are some screenshots I took exactly a year ago of these lads
And because I can't leave out Edgy, I'm sorry, one from the day before
And because you're not Bonny and the boys, you'll always be Larry and the Lads
[First we add our Hawaiian salt. Sweet onions. Green onions. Extent of his life is 48 years. It's called "ogo," and we're gonna add our Aloha shoyu. Hawaiian soy sauce. Oyster sauce.]
It’s been a while since I talked about this but since a few people wanted a masterpost on what one of my other AUs was all about, I want to finally introduce it and basically summarize what it’s about.
With that said...
Welcome to 48 Years, a sitcom-esque Marcanne AU where I take the concept of slow burn and basically fling more gasoline at it until it’s practically self-perpetuating.
UPDATES (1/15/2022): Slowly getting back into writing after a nice break, new links updated.
Co-created with @bloop-arts, who decided to enable my insanity and never looked back.
TV Guide Summary ⦿ 30 MINS ⦿ Comedy/Drama/Romance ⦿ TV-14 ⦿ 2021
Anne Boonchuy has lived quite a life for herself. She’s traveled many places, settled down with someone, had a kid, and got the dream ending every sitcom yearns for. However, this all ends when she and her husband decide to break up, both realizing that they’re gay after twenty years of stable marriage.
Newly divorced and struggling to understand herself, Anne settles down into her long-time friend’s apartment until she can find a permanent home. In her self-discovery, Anne will not only navigate the new-found freedoms of experimentation, but she’ll be confronted with the questions of motherhood, past childhood mistakes, and how to create silver-linings in her separation.
Especially when her best friends and family are along for the ride.
NOTES
⦿ Anne has been in a stable marriage for twenty years with her husband. However, instead of the separation being done out of abuse or miscommunication, it actually comes from a mutually-assured realization that even if the marriage was stable and full of respect/trust, they both wanted the other to explore themselves and their opportunities.
⦿ Her son is named Kamon. They don’t talk much for the beginning of 48 Years, mainly writing stuff down or using text-to-speech to communicate. They’re also a tiny gentleman who deserves the world.
⦿ Sasha works at her own physical studio where she teaches people kickboxing, Tai Chi, and swordfighting.
⦿ All of them are 48 years old throughout the main focus of the AU, unless the show refutes me regarding their birthdays.
⦿ Marcy works as a software engineer at an independent company. She does freelancing on the side.
⦿ Anne is currently juggling as a restaurant chef and a university student, is not having a good time in managing...well...time.
⦿ Sasha’s home is not that far from Marcy’s apartment. This leads to Sasha being able to walk in, help drop Kamon off at school, and overall being a consistent presence for hanging out.
⦿ Anne gets her own bedroom. They basically replaced Marcy’s prior office space to do this, meaning Anne and Marcy do online work at the dining table, their beds, or on the balcony. This will change at some point.
⦿ As time goes on, the environment and space that Anne once believed was temporary grows less temporary.
⦿ Yes, the moment that Anne starts to realize she can experiment with her identity, in her room she blasted every nostalgic 2000s to 2020s sapphic song she can find just to feel something. This includes dodie, and girl in red. They’re music classics now.
⦿ Anne’s identity journey also includes a lot more than blasting dodie, I promise.
⦿ Yes, there’s also an explanation to why it took so long for her to realize she’s gay.
⦿ All three girls actively teleport from Earth to Amphibia just to check on families, friends, and also to see the progress on Amphibia’s new political structure and reconstruction. Yes, that means the toads, newts, and frogs jump on over to Earth whenever they want to.
⦿ Since I stylize this AU as a sitcom format, meaning that I try to interpret the whole thing in a manner to its own standalone narrative from a TV show, that means the details of Anne’s “adventures” slowly seep into the picture, much to the audience’s confusion. Sasha could talk about being a lieutenant all that she wants, but the audience will believe she’s talking about the US military until the talk of “toads” hits them like a sack of bricks.
⦿ As time goes on, the audience begins to see that Anne, Marcy, and Sasha are post-journey adventurers, and the AU dives into the consequences and ramifications of that important year in their lives.
⦿ This is not only a slow burn but a SLOW BURN WITH OLDER QUEERS, BABY.
⦿ I am still working on a lot of WIPS, but to an introduction of this concept, feel free to read this drabble here.
