DAWSON'S CREEK 4.22 | "The Graduate"

[geoffreytoday]

In the Star Wars RPG I'm running, the party is currently on a planet that's having it's big annual Harvest Festival. The festivities include a Harvest Kween* Pageant.

I now call upon Monster Fucker Tumblr to render judgment on my fake space beauty pageant!

Please Reblog for reach, as I don't have a lot of followers, and be sure to keep the tag "kween" for the benefit of my players so they can block this post and not be spoiled!

*"Kween" being a non-gendered word for monarch on this planet.

Alright, here we go!

Here are your Harvest Kween Contestants!

You're bound to love Buttercup Hazelburry!

Hailing from Pandala city on the east coast of Macbraulth, Buttercup, or "Butters" to her friends, is a personal trainer who enjoys hiking, skiing, and participating in the local burlesque scene!

Always on the cutting edge of style, here comes Cleo!

Local fashion icon Cleo is making her Harvest Kween debut this year, and she couldn't be more excited. Growing up here in Zamora, Cleo has been something of a local entrepreneur since childhood, when she started her own fashion line while still in primary school!

What more need be said other than his name? This is...

✨ Destiel ✨

An awed hush please for our next contestant, Karga!

A bouncer and local Rap-Battle participant, Karga is a force to be reckoned with, possessing brains, brawn, and beauty! We could not be more thrilled to have her in this year's competition.

A tour guide at Magmar park, on the famous Vulcorr expanse, please welcome Palmenno Frolins!

Palmenno brings his signature joie de vivre to everything he does. Whether he's hard at work, or hard at play, Palmenno's personality is always front and centaur!

All the way from Iscandar, this is Starsha!

This mysterious beauty from a distant star came to Hibor to work as an astronautical engineer on The Ring, and are we ever glad she did!

Hey Fam! It's Strombella!

Zamora's most prolific Holo-Tok "influencer", Strombella Enduran is a near constant presence at every event in our fair city, so it should come as no surprise to see her here today!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, here comes Tibur Jauzen!

Tibur comes to the Midron system all the way from the opposite side of the mid-rim, from the aquatic planet of Karkarodahn. Here on Hibor, they work as an engineer at the Kazzanth deep sea power station. A dangerous job, but "Danger" is their middle name!

A visitor from the planet Bofuunidal, it's our pleasure to introduce you to Todd.

In his own words: "I thought I was in line for the concession stand, but it turned out to be the line for the Harvest Kween competition! By the time I realized my mistake, I figured What the hell."

Priceless. Good luck Todd. Win or lose, we'll make sure you get fed!

And now, our final contestant...

He's 8 feet of trouble in a 4 foot body, this is Tommy Midnight!

Tommy is a loner, a rebel, a bad boy with a heart of gold who's nothing but trouble, or so his business card says. Tommy is unemployed by day, and an unemployed musician by night. If you have a band looking for a front man, Tommy is interested.

And now it's up to you!

((A slight palette change for Ms. Doctor Pravd and a chance to spend a little more time in her headspace for more writing ahead of my VN's release. Art assets are coming together so I swear something new will be here soon.)) "There now! That's MUCH better~" After the incident in the old laboratory, a change of clothes had been necessitated. These sorts of, let's call them, chemical reactions were no danger to her but her wardrobe had not tasted of the same story that she had. In fact, Pravd was rather certain, fairly certain, certain enough to shelve the thought, that wardrobes did not taste of stories at all. 'Note to self,' she thought, 'Give a wardrobe a reason to live.' The purpose would of course be to revoke it, harass it, make it rue the day it had ever acquired such a thing (for SCIENCE, if you can believe it). There would be a whole process, a theorem, everything would be trim and proper. She would likely have to twist the universe's arm or find some arm of some kind to twist but she was becoming quite the interdimensional debutante. "I am the belle of the ball," she mused with a smile. "I am the queen bee although they do not know it yet." Pravd giggled with an almost innocent glee. They soon would and these colors she now wore would help impress it upon them. 'I wear any colors well,' she thought, 'but these put everyone on notice: bow before your new girlboss icon queen and stan or be slain.' Words were sparking in her mind. The reaction. It had revealed something to her. She'd seen something that intrigued her and could swear it had a kind of familiarity to her. 'Like a place I would certainly know how to find if I'd...goodness, hehehe, haha, aaaaaaaaahaha! I mean, I'd had to have known it existed? 'YASSSSS KWEEN'? I can't tell if you'd kill whoever came up with that or kill to be it that's a lie I could easily opt for both forms of killing ;)' Something was taking shape in her head. A plan of sorts. A diversion. Her true aim would take time; it was not quite ripe yet. Perhaps she herself, star of this show though she was, was not ripe yet either. "I have decided," Pravd said, moving to the door of the old lab without physically moving at all ('space is a suggestion to me; i cannot ignore it but it knows i'm dead serious'), "I am about to become HORRIFYINGLY annoying. I think we will call this my..." Brilliant mind though she was, master virologist, one who was a chrysalis harboring something fair and terrible, for a moment she halted. Self-doubt? Chastened, perhaps? Her smile for a moment began to flatten. What might be on her mind? It came back within instants, one more fragment from the 'incident' she would be investigating promptly. "We will call it my 'engagement arc'. Oh my yes, I do like that. I certainly would love to be engaged...kay, thanks, hi~"

______________________________________ Still waiting on some things to come together, although I actually have two more in the chamber to share perhaps, more of this type of thing, but I wanted to write this character a little more. You can consider this something of a prequel to the VN of sorts. I do not know if it will be obvious how this all connects but I don't consider myself someone who is writing to be obscure on purpose. Also we had a palette change for Pravd, a favorite of mine, and I wanted to make an excuse out of it to have her switch palettes. So I hope this is enjoyable and that Purple Prose with Purple Hearts, out by the end of the month for sure, will be. I am fortunate that my team includes someone I have been working on voice acting with and I am very very excited to get that shaped into something; they know who they are and I will be crediting when I talk more about it. ^^ Extremely good stuff is happening for what amounts to my crude amateurish first effort.

Do you think that MIAB and CBBH are for Harry Styles or for Zac Efron? I'm trying to understand her 2012 love life lol

It's time to answer the most dreaded question of my inbox that i've been avoiding for [checks ask date] a long long time. I don't blame you for being confused, 2012 Taylor is a mess indeed.

Short answer: MIAB was likely written on April 23rd and CBBH def on April 12th, so that's enough for me.

Longer answer: I think that if MIAB and CB...BH are sister songs, MIAB is also Begin Again's cousin. Begin Again is about opening up again with somebody after being hurt so badly, and you know that the relationship was not right for you, but the wound is still fresh and you can't let go and you still think about them and drawing comparisons between the toxic guy and the sweet new guy. MIAB instead is completely free of the past and it's so... fresh and carefree and cheeky and young. It's about the freedom of crushing on someone again. CB...BH is sadder because the spectre of long distance is always there when you choose this kind of career. This is my #1 interpretation of the songs. Now onto the muses.

Harry: I'm just gonna say it: Harry was 18 when he met and then dated Taylor. He turned 18 in February 2012, met Taylor exactly 2 months later, he was 18 when Taylor turned 23, he was 18 when they broke up and Taylor was seen leaving the Virgin Islands on a boat with the famous blue dress on. For some reason, Haylor is still #iconic but the same hype is not reserved to Conor Kennedy: everyone cringes when they look back at Taylor's Kennedy era, RIGHTFULLY SO. Harry and Conor are barely 5 months apart, yet everybody is glad that Taylor didn't write any songs for Conor because he was so young but then they're fine with thinking that MIAB is about Harry because slay kween. I'm gonna be honest, if you think that early Haylor was appropriate while Taylor/Conor wasn't i'm gonna side-eye you, cause you can't justify early Haylor with "Harry was 18 while Conor was 17 when they met" cause it means that you think that Taylor dating them is a legal issue, not a morality issue. Taylor and Conor met when he was 20 days short of 18 and Harry was 18 and two months old. there's no difference for me, they're both inappropriate. that being said, we technically don't have any confirmation of Harry and Taylor dating in April, just rumors. Nothing points at Harry as being the MIAB muse.

Zac: I vote for Zac as the muse. He was jetting around the world for promo, they had great chemistry, he corresponds to the physical description, they were both single, he was in London the day Taylor and Max Martin and finished the song. Also this was said before she met Harry, which is basically a line from MIAB:

When you meet someone that you’re attracted to, do you go, “Here’s a song”? That can happen. I get inspired by the smallest or the biggest things. You meet someone and you wonder if you’ll ever see them again. I could write so many songs about that. I have written so many songs about that. Wait till you hear my next record, it’s all about that.

That being said, Jesus, Zac truther are insufferable, sometimes it feels like they want the muse to be Zac just cause they want a gotcha to use against Haylor and they turn all of this into a ship war. chill, it's not that important.

who are your top 5 favorite true blood characters?

lol thank you for acknowledging the rewatch that has currently taken over my life.....and your DMs.

and for that, imma give you a top 10 cause i have been reminded of how much i loved villains like Russell and tbh even the Newlins???

Lafayette Reynolds (RIP Nelsan Ellis. Such a beautiful talent.)

Jesus Velasquez

Tara Thornton

Eric Northman

Terry Bellefleur

Sophie-Anne Leclerq*

Russell Edington**

Alcide Herveaux

Pam Swynford de Beaufort

Holly Cleary

*(i need to give Evan her props for making this character so goddamn iconic with her limited run on the show. also Evan was a literal baby when she did this show and held her own against the likes of Denis O'Hare and Askars with ease. i hate that we had to lose that character.)

**('WE WILL EAT YOU AND WE WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN!! ......NOW FOR THE WEATHER! TIFFANY?!'

sadly YASSS KWEEN SLAY wasn't a term back then or I woulda been shouting it at my tv when i watched it.

thankfully, during the rewatch, i was able to yell YASS KWEEN SLAY AND GAG THE QORLS at that scene. time heals all things. )

[dhaaruni]

THANK YOU. You get it. Responding to people who criticize your appearance is exactly what they want! It doesn’t make you an Iconic Kween to give some anonymous loser who literally gets off on your insecurity a clever clapback because that’s an ounce too much of your attention he didn’t deserve.

Either way, they get the engagement they want, so the best move is to ignore and block because that ensures fewer people will see his nonsense.

It's what I do when people are insane to me!

I get my fair share of unhinged comments because I'm a Twitter microcelebrity at this point (lol) and I respond by not responding because I don't want to give them the satisfaction!

People really hate when I don't fight back like "debate me" mentality is endemic among a certain cohort, and I just refuse to partake in their anger because I don't care if they understand why I believe the things I do and I know they'll misinterpret me no matter what I say so I'm not going to waste my valuable time and energy explaining.

Your summer read may be doing double-duty as your latest source of makeup inspiration. With a striking blend of literature and beauty, a new trend is emerging from the shelves: book covers that not only tell a story but also serve as a canvas for makeup aficionados looking to elevate their beauty game. The recent crossover of literary and cosmetic visuals signals an evolution in how readers interpret characters and how beauty brands can seize this opportunity to expand their reach. On a casual visit to a local Barnes & Noble, I couldn’t help but notice the array of new releases featuring covers that look more like beauty campaigns than traditional book jackets. Titles such as “Lady Macbeth” by Ava Reid caught my eye; the protagonist gracing the cover is adorned with flawless, matte skin, expertly shaded eyes, and impeccably defined lips. It raises an intriguing question: Could Shakespeare's iconic female character be rocking a gloss from Tarte's Maracuja line if she roamed the modern world? This shift in aesthetics is not a standalone phenomenon. The covers of young adult and contemporary novels are rapidly adopting beauty standards to create appealing images that resonate with readers’ aspirations. For instance, the thriller “Where Are You, Echo Blue?” features a celebrity missing persons narrative alongside a cover that showcases picture-perfect blonde hair akin to that seen in R+Co campaigns. Likewise, “Kween” introduces readers to a relatable character whose radiant features — including a perfect cat-eye and glossy lips — are reminiscent of the current social media influencers. Jazzi McGilbert, founder of the Rep Club, an independent bookstore and community hub in Los Angeles, emphasizes the importance of visual impact in literature. Her perspective sheds light on how modern readers increasingly desire to see themselves reflected in the stories they consume. She notes, “It’s definitely something that makes you stop and stare,” when discussing the recent trend of book covers mirroring beauty campaigns. McGilbert, also a seasoned fashion editor and stylist, has noticed that readers are now drawn not just to narratives but also to the characters’ visual appeal. The charm of these beautified book covers lies in their ability to captivate audiences and create an aspirational identity. As McGilbert elaborates, while past book covers often mirrored fashion editorials, they now seamlessly incorporate beauty aesthetics. The appeal centers on what readers want to become rather than just who they are, showcasing the shift in cultural aesthetics. The designs compellingly merge fantasy with relatable beauty idealization, redefining the visual storytelling landscape. Furthermore, these trends indicate a lucrative and largely untapped market between publishers and cosmetic brands. On platforms like TikTok, almost 40 million posts related to this book-cover-to-beauty-shoot movement reveal the cultural phenomena driving sales opportunities. For instance, a collaboration between Pat McGrath Labs and a book that features a striking cover could enhance product visibility and authenticity among target consumers. When speaking of strategic marketing opportunities, it is essential to consider the timing and thematic relevance of collaborations. A six-shadow smoky eye palette inspired by “Daisy Jones and the Six” would likely see success, while niche tie-ins—such as a “Handmaid’s Tale” hand cream—may not resonate in the same way. Successful partnerships hinge on understanding the nuances between storytelling and aesthetic appeal. In terms of product placements and brand launches, the beauty industry continues to innovate. Recent releases such as Glossier’s Crème de You Body Lotion and RMS’s SunCoverUp Tinted SPF demonstrate a commitment to year-round beauty. Companies like Westman Atelier and Charlotte Tilbury consistently introduce products that appeal to beauty enthusiasts seeking high-quality, functional cosmetics. Westman Atelier’s Vital

Skincare Concealer and Tilbury’s Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara are examples of innovative offerings that highlight the trend toward multifunctional beauty solutions. In the realm of haircare, brands like Ouai and Oribe are leading the way with treatments that simplify daily routines. For instance, Ouai’s limited-edition hair oil infused with St. Barts scent caters to a sense of seasonal escapism, while Act+Acre's Daily Hydro Serum emphasizes the importance of scalp care as part of an overall beauty regimen. This evolving focus signals a deeper understanding of the consumer’s desire for products that enhance rather than complicate their daily habits. Notably, there is also a notable shift within beauty companies hiring creative leadership from diverse backgrounds. Emily Bromfield has taken on the role of SVP of global marketing at MAC Cosmetics, a move that hints at a focus on blending pop culture with brand prestige. Similarly, Loops has appointed Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor as its head of brand marketing, tapping into her unique perspective to appeal to younger audiences. As we consider this convergence of literature and beauty, it is evident that opportunities abound for brands willing to cross the line between storytelling and cosmetic innovation. The allure of a beautifully crafted cover may, after all, be a gateway to a deeper engagement with readers and beauty enthusiasts alike. In conclusion, the intersection of beauty and literature reflects a new narrative-building strategy that positions both industries to pivot toward a more visually driven market. As brands innovate, they can also create a more interactive experience for consumers, establishing pathways that empower them to express their identity through the products they choose.

Kween Kong previews Drag Race Global All Stars entrance look

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/kween-kong-previews-drag-race-global-all-stars-entrance-look/

Kween Kong previews Drag Race Global All Stars entrance look

RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars starts tonight, and Aussie hopeful Kween Kong has given a preview of her entrance look early.

The new international spinoff of the show premieres this evening (August 16), streaming in Australia on Stan.

Twelve queens from around the globe will compete for the title “Queen of the Mothertucking World” in the new series.

“Category is: ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE,” Kween wrote.

“My first impression on the [Global All Stars] stage was my first opportunity to be the representation of ALL of Down Under.

“As the first POC girlie to rep our countries, I walked into this game knowing what needed to be done.

“At the time of filming, we were going through the referendum here in Australia. My icon @thecostumecreator knew we had a responsibility to wear the Aboriginal flag unapologetically but in a way that made a statement to the ridiculousness of “the Voice”.

“We incorporated elements of the New Zealand and Australian Flags and showcased custom jewels by @maineandmara with my family crest – the manu on it. THIS IS DOWN UNDER DRAG!”

  View this post on Instagram

  A post shared by Kween Kong (@kweenkongofficial)

Kween added, “I hope the world is ready because you are going to see the version of Down Under drag that has never had a platform like this.

“It’s the world’s biggest stage and I’m going to be bringing you Oceanic Excellence weekly boo boo. Be ready!!”

Kween Kong up against Alyssa Edwards on Global All Stars

Kween Kong was runner-up on season two of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under.

Now she and US Drag Race icon Alyssa Edwards are going head-to-head on Global All Stars for the $200,000 grand prize and a spot in “the international pavilion at the Drag Race Hall of Fame”.

Global All Stars also brings back Drag Race Belgique’s star Athena Likis, Drag Race Philippines’ Eva Le Queen, Drag Race Mexico‘s Gala Varo, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’s Kitty Scott Claus, and Drag Race Brazil’s Miranda Lebrão.

The lineup is rounded out by Drag Race Italia’s Nehellenia, Drag Race Canada’s Pythia, Drag Race France’s Soa de Muse, Swiss queen Tessa Testicle from Drag Race Germany and Drag Race Sweden’s Vanity Vain.

what are your top 3 fav seasons in the entire drag race franchise? :)

OH GOD

well canada 3 out of raw disgusting bias. i find it very comforting in that it’s something that is now kinda shared between me and my friends. like, it’s very much helped me connect w people :) also the cast is s tier. so many different styles of drag from all over canada (and beyond !) miss fucking fiercalicious ? kimmy couture ? lady boom boom ? gisèle lullaby ? bombae ? chelazon ? irma ? do i even have to mention the obvious

i have a very very very big soft spot for uk2. it’s what got me absolutely hooked on drag race and , as everyone can agree, iconic. joe black’s gothy charisma, cherry valentine’s gorgeous runways 💗, asttina mandella’s incredible confidence, ginny lemon’s utter insanity, veronica green’s radiant kindness and singing talent, tia kofi’s magnetic personality and humour, sister sister’s perfect dryness, a’whora’s dumb crude confessionals, ellie diamond’s amazing looks, bimini’s talent, everything about tayce, how fucking funny lawrence chaney is. likeausggh g m y god

ok number 3 is the original season 1. of US. if you want a time portal back to 2009 when the world was covered in vaseline , and the only social media backlash the queens had to worry about was on myspace, do yourself a favour and watch season 1. shannel in the words of vivian vanderpuss “having a level of delusion that defies medical science”. akashia “every competition needs a bitch and that bitch is me”. rebecca glasscock going “i can’t let frienfship get in the way” like she’s a fucking disney villain. the insane talents of bebe, ongina, nina and jade. tammie brown

honourable mentions: season 14 (bosco, jasmine getting in fights w everyone and still being a total darling). all stars 6 (just solid overall). down under 2 (spankie nicest person to ever live. yuri guaii. beverly kills. kween kong. minnie cooper).
