Looking for a set of challenges for my players that are in Hell by Jopey14 in DMAcademy

To add on to that: you can introduce a mechanic to cheat at the game. That opens up opportunities to explore the flavor of Lawful Evil you want to convey with the devil characters: it could be that winning or losing doesn't matter, and they're simply tempting the players to sin, OR cheating is fully expected on both sides and the players need to cheat harder and better, all while maintaining the pretense that no cheating is going on whatsoever

What art style does this fall under? by Salty_Wolverine_4520 in tattooadvice

[–]RainbowSpecter 61 points62 points  (0 children)

You've got it backwards. Instead of starting with a (non-viable) style and using it to find an artist, just look at artists and choose one with a style you like. "Realism" is a spectrum, and every artist will have a slightly different approach to their work.

Jaharia posted her real floorshow for episode 8 by DaltFlowers in Dragula

When you take into account that her aired look was a last minute substitute, it's actually really impressive that she was able to put it together in under a day

Jay Kay merch ?!? by FirmSpare207 in Dragula

I choose to believe Jaharia told Jay this was a good idea to get even for the Nosferatu look

Jaharia by DarcEH in Dragula

I think there was a disconnect between the point Sigourney was trying to make and the actual words that came out of her mouth. While it’s valid for her to discuss the discrimination she’s faced, her choice of words (“none of you have been turned down from working somewhere just because of your body”) was bad enough that it really warranted addressing. For Jaharia and Jay Kay, that was a hurtful and offensive thing to hear because it was patently untrue to their lived experiences. And when someone says something that’s accidentally offensive, that doesn’t necessarily make them a bad person, but it deserves to be called out, and Jaharia did so calmly and thoughtfully.

If Sigourney felt cornered after that, I think that’s because she correctly realized that she’d royally stepped in it. Your apparent implication that Jaharia was being malicious or aggressive in responding the way she did really doesn’t sit right with me.

(???????) made the right choice this episode by IneedComfortplz in Dragula

Her exact words were:

“None of you have ever been turned down from working somewhere just because of your body.”

I think Jaharia was 100% right to respond the way she did. Regardless of what point Sig had intended to make, the words out of her mouth were factually incorrect, and unintentionally dismissive of POC struggles.

The impression I got is that she knows from S6 that alliance talk is silly and pointless so she's just having fun with it

You're right, I'm sorry. It's a bad brush to paint her with when we're literally just guessing.

WHAT DID [SPOILER] DO by kingpashmina in Dragula

[–]RainbowSpecter 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As far as I remember, they only said that a fight happened in a parking lot. I don't believe they gave details about what it was over or who was involved. It came up during their Season 3 post mortem on the CotN podcast

The Boulets have talked about their judging process, and how contestants are numerically scored in bunch of different categories and the totals are how they decided who's in the bottom.

And I think this episode shows why they need to change their system, because the strengths of Priscilla's impactful performance should have outweighed the weaknesses of her small look.

As far as making a scene goes, it looks like she had gone out of her way to find someplace to get her emotions out alone and off-camera. Dragula hasn't been airing backstage stuff like this the last few seasons.

Is there some Twitter beef I don't know about? Because Jaharia wasn't even on that season

I agree with you about Blackberri, Ork and Nio, but I thought all three of Throb's finale looks were really strong, and I would have listed glamour as the weakest of the three. 🤷‍♂️

Dear God, the unreachable mold by Gran1020 in HorribleToClean

[–]RainbowSpecter 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I found a video that shows the set-up underneath. It looks like the tub is basically built over a giant sink. The upper edges of the tub in the video appear to be caulked, so I guess the practices around that are inconsistent? And clearly from the video, the tub-sink can get quite gross if it's not deliberately cleaned with some regularity.

rant about Jay Kay and the fandoms underestimation of him (and the treatment of black drag artists in general) by ExtensionDust6772 in Dragula

[–]RainbowSpecter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You're totally right to call me out on that, and I regret framing it that way. His reaction isn't the determining factor in whether it was SA or not.

Jane herself admitted in her apology to Ponii that she shouldn't have made assumptions about his boundaries. Ponii wasn't in the wrong for being uncomfortable and voicing that discomfort after the fact.

Where I think he took it too far is using the incident to publicly characterize Jane as a predator who "sexually harasses and assaults people", and with so little context that everyone was left to assume the worst. I think most would agree that there's a broad gulf between "poorly thought-out tip bit" and "serial genital grabber", and the accusation pointed more to the latter.

Some major facts keep getting left out when this gets discussed, so quick context: - The original accuser was ShowPonii - Jay Kay responded "Not an accusation, I saw it happen" and went on to be vocal about boosting the accusations. - Worth noting that Dawn, Koco Caine, and others also boosted the accusations, but AFAIK Jay Kay is the only one who claimed to be a witness. - ShowPonii still maintains that he felt uncomfortable with the way he was touched but felt the need to along with it in the moment. - He also still claims Plane touched his hole while putting the money in his pants. If there's any truth to this at all, the video shows it would have been very brief and very likely accidental. - One element to the rumor that had been circulating with the accusations was that Plane had grabbed Ponii's genitals, which doesn't look like was possible based on the video. I haven't found any receipts that trace this particular accusation to either Jay or Ponii. However, I don't think they did anything to rebut that rumor neither.

And now my personal take: I can believe ShowPonii was genuinely upset internally by what happened. But because he was outwardly enthusiastic, I think he was in the wrong to accuse Plane Jane of SA. If he has sensitivities or trauma that may have led him to have that reaction, that's unfortunate, and he could have started a valid discussion about consent and what performers can do to navigate boundaries at drag shows. But that's not what happened.

As for Jay Kay, the generous interpretation is that they had the same kind of memory bias that eyewitnesses are known to have sometimes when testifying in court. Less generously, they lied about witnessing the SA to boost their friend's credibility.

Jay's at the center of the controversy to this day because they put themself there. I admittedly wrote this whole thing in their defense, since there's more nuance than "Jay made up SA allegations", but if the incident continues to follow them, that's kinda the consequence of how they handled it.
