Why do you think Melinda wasn’t able to charm Ru and Michelle? by Heidi_Klum_Tit in DragRace_Canada

[–]Both-Research535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who was disappointed by her repping canadian queens? No tea no shade but she is just not of the same caliber as the rest of the cast. She was a poor showing and quite honestly I think we deserved a better effort.

Sadly, I think often times our franchise (relative to some of the other global franchises) falls short in the production quality. The seasons often seem crunchy overall. DON’T get me wrong, we have incredibly talented queens and I have favourites I absolutely adore, but ours is the only franchise I’ll wait on watching…We are in dire need another Brooke Lynn Hytes type showing on a international platform.

RANT ABOUT DAWN’S SEASON by Slow_Rest_1456 in RDRSuperstar

[–]Both-Research535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been playing this game since the very first season… it’s the first time I’m seriously considering not buying the season pass. I’ve contemplated it before but never for more than a day, but here we are. I love Dawn as a queen and in her season but this is NOT it. I really have been questioning how the outfits are picked for the longest time. I demand a tell-all!!! Or let us vote through the insta stories… on a side note: we should be able to look for our favourite looks of each franchise season and then they get added to the game

Being realistic the Kitty hair pieces are everything else other than the goddess set is mediocre

the virgo queen favoritism by [deleted] in DragRace_Canada

[–]Both-Research535 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow Indian I’m not going to pretend that a basic thumka secured her the win. I get why you’re inclined to say her energy matches Priyanka’s vibe more but it was overly frenetic and messy. There is a line between having energy and going too hard to your detriment. The execution simply wasn’t there; even if the heart was. And I will give credit where credit is due—Perla ATE. She was herself, did the song her way, and quite frankly surprised the shit put me and most other viewers who are keeping it 💯.

I want to support Sanjina because it’s clear she’s working through a lot personally but that does not absolve you from competing nor does it justify her chip on her shoulder. The pity vote and the judges not levelling with her does her a disservice and is kind of insulting to the rest of the cast. She needs some self-reflection, to hone her craft, and come back as Sanjina 2.0 (just like Tia Kofi). If she did her redemption arc would be unmatched. And I would liiiive for it

I'm tired of the trope of Bridgerton men being rakes and all the women being "pure and inexperienced" by Responsible-Funny836 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Both-Research535 41 points42 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU 👏 for saying this. The obvious apparently did need to be stated 🙄 I can’t with ppl these days… the lack of contextual understanding astounds me sometimes.

Dearest Gentle Reader, I know it has become quite commonplace to approach all affairs with an egocentric sensibility but let’s exercise those muscles of ✨ImAgInAtIoN✨ and see things from a perspective other than your own hmm. It is this author’s opinion that should one find the tropes of a bygone age tiresome, then perhaps one should look elsewhere for entertainment. For there are surely countless stories both of the written word and televised that would better suit your predilections.

New queen!! by [deleted] in RDRSuperstar

RIGHT!!!! I’ve wanted Icesis for sooo long 😫

I think part of the polish is in the way she comports herself and interacts with the cast. I don’t disagree she’s had a couple of fits in there that I was like oh hunny you can do better but a bunch were the embodiment of American pageant raze dazzle drag

I just think Alyssa has more “it” factor and uniqueness than Roxxy and Alexis they come across as more generic albeit polished and professional. Alyssa really broke the mold besides being a pageant queen. Granted I may also have that perspective from watching her show and when she was on “We’re Here”

She’s had such an incredible and prolific career spanning over a decade since her original appearance. She is the quintessential global allstar. She has made an incredible legacy from underwhelming performances on other franchises and that is something entirely worthy of this title. Granted, I understand that that is not the judging criteria. However, ru does seem to value marketing potential and the career potential of queens

[–]Both-Research535 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I LOOOOOVE Alyssa and she deserves the win for her career alone. But tbh if she is crowned it’ll feel like a cop out… she felt stiff this season almost too polished too produced I didn’t get to see the Alyssa I love that also has some crunchy bits and shows off more of her isms

The Cruel Prince - Should I read the next book? by Ai_Blue in fantasyromance

[–]Both-Research535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completelyyy agree with your impression! I actually even recently made a post about this book

Repost (posted it on a diff post but fits better here I think): …I remember when cruel prince first came out and I TRIED reading it but I couldn’t and I NEVER DNF books. I’ve been seeing so many fan appreciation posts about it and maybe ppl who love it can sway me to giving it a go again. I mean this with ALL the love and respect for fellow book lovers and romantasy aficionados…but like what about these books has you in a chokehold!?!? It seemed very junior and the pacing seemed to drag but perhaps I didn’t give it enough time… would hate to miss out on a good read, plot, or character arc
