#the king is a drag queen

[mild-goth-sauce]

An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)

I once had a dream...

...that I was the most powerful witch living in a fairytale kingdom.

The king had come to see me. He was a small man, about a head shorter than me. He was an anxious man, never quite sure of himself. 

And he was a man in love.

The king had fallen for a visiting princess, a beautiful woman who wore the most exquisite gowns. The king was too nervous to tell the princess how he felt, afraid of rejection and that he was wrong about his feelings.

The king wanted me to cast a spell on the princess. Not a spell that would force her to fall in love with him, the king insisted, but a spell that would make her kiss him. He knew that if he could just kiss the princess, they would know for sure that they were each other’s true love.

I agreed to help him.

The king took me to a beauty salon that the princess passed while on daily walks around the kingdom. He said he had been booking daily makeover appointments so that he could spot her as she walked by. He booked me one too.

I was now less eager to help him because beauty salons make me nervous. But a witch cannot break their promise without something terrible happening. That’s why most witches are wicked- it’s easier to not keep promises if you only use your magic selfishly. 

We sat in the salon, the king’s hairdresser commenting on how often his majesty has been visiting lately. The king responded that he wanted to try a blue bouffant today. 

My hairdresser was scrubbing my greasy hair with vigor, talking about giving me a perm. I was focusing on not telling the hairdresser that I didn’t want my hair done, hoping she would sense it from my silence and body language. She didn’t seem to notice.

I had just gotten some shampoo in my eyes when the king yelled That’s her! That’s the princess!

I sat up and wiped the sudsy liquid out of my eyes. I could barely see, but out the front window I managed to make out the blurry shape of a tall woman in a voluptuous pink gown. In the pink? I asked. 

Yes! Yes! The king exclaimed. And she’s wearing my favorite gown! Hurry!

I pulled out a wand and zapped her with the spell. The princess stopped, turned and ran through the salon door and toward the king, kissing him square on the lips.

My work done, I stood up and walked out of the salon, my hair full of suds.

The next day, I was summoned by the new queen.

I expected to see the princess, but instead I saw a different woman in a gown similar to the one the princess had on the day before. This queen was about a head shorter than me. This queen had her hair in a blue bouffant. 

It was the king, clean shaven and looking more confident than I could even remember.

Did the spell not work, your Majesty? I asked.

Oh, it worked, he replied. But as I kissed the visiting princess, I realized that it wasn’t her I was in love with. 

I was in love with her dress.

So i went to a drag show the other day and one of the Drag Kings was especially iconic

he introduced himself as "Oliver Garden, because when you're queer you're family"

His persona was a blond elvis impersonator/church preacher? (ironic because he's jewish). With the iconic line of "in this church LGBTQ stands for 'LET GOD BLESS THESE QUEERS'"

DID NOT LIP SYNC HIS SONG HE SANG AND ROCKED THAT ELVIS VIBE HARD

anyways i had a blast and fuck yeah Let God Bless These Queers

you do not have to be a trans man to go on testosterone. you do not have to be a trans woman to go on estrogen. whether you're intersex, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, gender non conforming, multigender, a drag performer, crossdresser or genderfucker, if you want to go on HRT and it won't interfere with your physical health, you can. testosterone is not for men and estrogen is not for women, hormones are not gendered

Drag is art, stop the bans.

[lowcringetolerance]

If you're in Boston in December, Low Cringe Tolerance will be putting on our SECOND Sonic drag show at Jacques Cabaret! Shadow (Ladyboy George) and Sonic (Shean King) will be getting divorced 💔 We have an amazing lineup of performers with some real passion, expect silly fanfiction fun and a few deep cuts!

[i-bite-out-of-love]

If Drag Queens and Kings exist as hyper performances of gender, do Drag Jesters exist for people who Do Not Perform Gender Period. Like, can we show up to the gay club dressed as Mothman and Big Foot like is that a thing

Prompt 203

Another Hydra prompt! Because I am enjoying the designs I’ve made lol. And perhaps it’s a bit inspired by @radiance1 ‘s different dragon prompts too. 

So they’ve succeeded! They’ve managed to combine their powers- with a bit of shapeshifting helped along by so many ghost allies- and become a giant duck-you dragon! Well, originally they were going to do something else, but they couldn’t agree on an animal, so dragon it was! 

And how mighty they are! They’re giant, absolutely massive- dwarfing the couple of skyscrapers still in Amity. Damages via ghost attacks and general sparring made it where people really didn’t want to rebuild those types of buildings. 

But anyway, dragon! Them! They’re absolutely stunning! And did they mention powerful? Because boy oh boy, are they powerful. The GIW’s guns do practically nothing against their combined might, and barriers shatter before them! 

The uh, issue is that they erm… can’t turn back. Which is fine, they’ve all sort of outlived most of their generation- thank you possessions and ecto-contamination, it’s just a tiny bit of an adjustment. But really it’s not too bad, and someone needs to stop the GIW from trying to poke their heads into Amity. Like it’s been a solid couple of generations, it’s time to stop, thanks. 

Actually they’ve been a bit quiet. Meh, that surely isn’t a problem. Probably. Honestly they’re all going to use the opportunity to sprawl out where the school yard once was, their favorite place to sun their scales. Huh. Usually more people are around now that they think about it- or really, as Paulina points out, sharpening her fangs on one of the rocks. 

…

How long had they been sleeping, because it couldn’t have been that long. One of them was always awake, they slept in shifts after all! Yet there are things missing now as they patrol the skies, both Wes and Tucker pointing out specific buildings that the others didn’t particularly notice usually that now lay empty. 

Hm. 

Oh. That is a… strong barrier there. A really strong barrier actually. Pfft, they can take it! They’ve shredded every barrier together before- Ow. 

…

Okay this might be a bit of a problem. Shit. 

You want a general size reference? :P

[dinolich]

do you know how hard it is to get a good likeness when someone’s drag make up is so air brushed and detailed but your own art is so stylized???

[will-o-the-witch]

So I'm currently writing an academic paper on drag shows and the recent wave of anti-drag laws in the United States, and it has honestly been fascinating to research. It also really reinforces my love for the art form.

I'm inviting people to ask me questions about it because 1) I enjoy talking about it and 2) it helps give me a gague for what questions other people might have that I can answer in the paper (because it has to be pretty long!!)
