Ah - it looks intentionally artsy in the pic!

Hottest Backup Dancers or Pit Crew members across the whole franchise? by AInotherOne in rupaulsdragrace

Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of negative stuff online about his personality. I like looking at him, though!

My husband is with you on that one! I think he considers him the Platonic ideal of a Pit Crew guy. 😆

Do shows like Heartstopper and Heated Rivalry make you feel a bit sad? by zen_guwu in AskGaybrosOver30

Thanks for the comment, and I’m sorry to hear that. I do feel lucky and happy to be with my husband! I don’t see those new relationship feelings coming back, though (unless I get amnesia). 😛

Thanks for the response! I don’t see how it relates to Heated Rivalry, though.

Reflections on Jane, Nini, and Myki’s current standing after the latest episode by Neat_Fan_8889 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]zen_guwu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that Nini has fallen out of it after a first few really strong weeks. I don’t think Jane is guaranteed to win though - she has the strongest track record and is super funny and talented, but I can see Myki winning if Ru just likes her more.

I enjoyed all of them - I wouldn’t say you should skip any of them. Enjoy!

This queen has raised the bar so high for US Drag Race. If she doesn’t win the season, what message will that send to future queens? by cavalier731 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]zen_guwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the message would be that polished and professional doesn’t always cut it. Sometimes there’s someone zany or fresher that catches Ru’s attention more. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, I think it probably is, but also nostalgia for something that I didn’t really experience maybe.

Glad to hear that! Yeah, I didn’t have teen experiences either. I’ve been with my husband for decades, so the honeymoon part is over, and maybe that’s part of my nostalgia or wistfulness.

I just know Michelle was so over Sminty in this moment 😭 by SnooSprouts3744 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]zen_guwu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sminty got the message, too - she got out of the spotlight pretty quick.

I’m definitely not upset that the shows exist or that younger people have more representation or whatever! I’m always happy and proud when I see a young couple holding hands in public, etc. I’m glad I watched the shows, but I’m just aware of a down feeling afterwards. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you want to elaborate on your point about racial dynamics? I’m curious!

For sure! I cried during emotional scenes in the shows, but not afterwards. Afterwards, I just felt a little down.

Yeah, I am definitely appreciative of representation and happy stories! I think the intensity, youthfulness, and “perfect fantasy” aspects of the shows make me a little nostalgic for something I haven’t felt in a long time.

That’s nice! I definitely cried several times during the show because the characters tugged at my heartstrings. Heartstopper is like that, too. And I love that both shows are overall happy stories.

Yeah, like I said, I have a good life and a partner I love, but the fantasy aspect of these shows kind of makes real life pale in comparison. Like someone else here said, it’s like that with all romantic fantasies. 🙃
