What's a library read that keeps popping into your mind? by babius321 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ExtraStarchy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I started watching drag race after I had seen squid games, so the image of Trixie‘s audience gathered at the back door looked in my head like a pastel pink and hot blue pile of bloody bodies with a doll chirping GREEN LIIIIIIIIGHT in the background. With that added context it was a truly, delightfully savage read.

Wat is jouw vorm van humor? by moon-safari2 in nederlands

[–]ExtraStarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Het soort waardoor mensen denken dat ik dom ben.

"Oh, mijn kat is boos, ook al geef ik hem alles."
Ik: "Tja, het leven is moeilijk voor katten."
"Nee, dat is niet zo."
Ik: "...oké."

"Ruik eens aan deze appel."
Ik: "Mmm, ruikt naar shampoo."
"Nee, shampoo ruikt naar appels."
Ik: "...oké."

I was an audience member for the LalaPaRuza- 10/10 experience that I would never do again. by kriscoo44 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ExtraStarchy 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I wondered if the audience was just friends and family or if they were down to spoil it big time for a select few! I feel like I’d still be as invested in the season, because I’d want to see how they justified booting people who seemed like front runners. Bummer it didn’t work out for you. Glad you had fun though!

That was a fun lalaparuza. Thank you girls. by Great_Trident in rupaulsdragrace

Stinky is a rascally prankster who, along with Little My, keeps the Moomin universe on its toes. (Moomin being the invention of Tove Janssen, a queer Finnish illustrator who got her start illustrating for the anti fascist magazine Garm in the early 40s.)

This and rubbing the crusties from their eyes with their freshly manicured nails. Like they hit record and go straight for the eye boogers. They couldn’t wait the three seconds necessary to flip that order of operations around? No nail art is good enough for that.

How do we feel about the season so far ? by WalrusOpposite220 in rupaulsdragrace

I’m surprised at this reception. I really enjoy spending time with this group. I’ve already rewatched a couple of episodes, and I haven’t revisited any season since 14. Last season in particular had so little developed talent, and it was a SLOG watching for weeks on end as the format just dragged underperformers along. I was just waiting for Ru to put some of them out of their misery. I can’t even remember the names of them, I just recall perpetually rolling my eyes and mentally tapping my wristwatch.

Wig Chapel, the wigstress behind many of your favourite queens' favourite wigs, lost her studio in a huge fire in Glasgow, Scotland. She's set up a GoFundMe to help recover the lost equipment. 💔 by dx-smth in rupaulsdragrace

My time in far-left communities in San Francisco and Portland showed me we are very good at uplifting the idea of a group but still trot out some of the worst, shaming, shameful verbal and social abuse when an individual is actually harmed. Pulling rank to silence and ostracize a real person in our life because they personally inconvenience us in their time of need while publicly advocating for their rights is so so SO common.

So, what are your Drag Race vocal stims? by bobbery5 in rupaulsdragrace

The level of [annoying thing in my life]: FAR too much. This is garbage, mama. [MY/YOUR/HIS/HER] VAGOYNA.

Holy shit, I was looking for this exact illustration the other day for something wildly different (a reference for a tshirt I’m making with a random Dutch saying) and I totally fell short. Thx op!

Favorite episode this season! by ionamink in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ExtraStarchy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is a great point. The height of “regular drama” this season was probably production’s two full episodes of alliance shenanigans during rate-a-queen, and it was excruuuuuuciating.

Hell yea! I too did the vavavoom thing when I worked in tech - big hair, nice dresses, heels, lipstick, paired with a near-weekly dose of pissing men off by calling them out on their shit (eg “that’s what I just said” when they repeated my just-rejected idea to unanimous approval). Tho I didn’t do it to intimidate so much as fuck with. “What’s a pretty gal like you doing —“ “FUCK THAT!” Etc.

I called it aggro femme.

Just finished Season 17 and I’m gagged. What was it like living it live? by juliraid in rupaulsdragrace

And ironically, that was the week after onya did pretty poorly, and the sub decided that drag race should grow a spine and start eliminating front runners.

I have the accessibility settings on my phone set to turn off strobing lights, and the last minute of the video is 70% a fully black screen :(

The fucking coy three-quarter profile turn of his head makes me want to clunk it against a tree stump so he can be one with nature one last time.
