zendaya is old hollywood personified: the return of the god-like movie star. we’ll still talk about her decades from now because honest to god? no one has a more impressive run. z is playing the whole industry like a violin. queen was swinging from the ceiling right into zac efron’s shook ass face, had bruno mars serenading her pathetically, was kissed by hunter schafer and jacob elordi, bisexualized two tennis players, married actual spider man, was mugler’s muse, stunned the met gala, bagged a pattinson wedding movie, became nolan’s athena, and had enough game to be cracking lisan al gaib all across the whole damn desert. call her tashi duncan the way zendaya scores. playing 3D chess since the beginning y’all this is generational range

tashi duncan’s whole life revolves around the fact that she is both devoted and disciplined to tennis but she can no longer play tennis while art is disciplined but not devoted and patrick is devoted but not disciplined and both of those things are glaring weaknesses that disgust tashi but she has formatted her life in such a way that these are the two people who are really in it and she really can’t let go because she’s chasing the high of watching them play together that one time a decade ago where she realized that together they could almost be as devoted and disciplined to tennis as she is
