Dahli and James have the best cuddles when they sleep ;w;

I've been thinking about this recently and it only occurred to me while my mum and I were watching the latest season of RPDR UK, but I honestly think it makes more sense for females to be drag queens and males to be drag kings rather than the cross dressing tradition. I know this does already happen, but I mean as the normal, default way it should be. Drag queens, 99% of whom are male, mock femininity, an oppressive gender role forced on females from birth, which results in the mockery of women and female bodies. If anyone deserves to mock femininity, it's women. If anyone understands just how harmful femininity is and wants to twist it and warp it into something creative or artistic, it should be women. It really does enrage me that female drag queens are so vilified and ostracised by these men who think they know more than them. Just this past season of Dragula featured an extremely talented female drag queen who was picked apart and bullied by other contestants for the smallest of reasons. I think the age of men mocking women and their bodies needs to come to an end.

13 and K please and thanks

ok why am i so obsessed w this au guys what should they name the demon baby

13. Hoso/Astrud | K. Accidental Baby Acquisition

-

“So…” Hoso looked from Astrud, to the red baby with black eyes and a tail, and back, “what do you think it eats?”

Astrud rubbed the back of her neck. “The souls of the damned, probably. But I’m gonna try giving it McDonalds, close enough if you ask me,” she shrugged. For two people that had accidentally summoned a demon infant, they were surprisingly calm. Though perhaps the shock hadn’t set in yet.

“Makes as much sense as anything else,” she shrugged, taking the food out of the happy meal box and setting it in front of the baby, taking a step back as it promptly devoured the meal. “Okay. It eats people food. At least it probably doesn’t shit molten lava or something.”

When the baby started making grabby-hands at the couple, they both looked at each other, then played a round of rock, paper, scissors to decide who picked it up. When Astrud lost, she scooped the baby into her arms with a comfort and ease that surprised both of them. “I think it likes me… I still think we should call Dahli, though.”

Hoso furrowed her brows. “Does Dahli have more experience handling hellspawns than we do?” she asked, then followed up with, “well, they keep your ass in line, so maybe.”

Astrud rolled her eyes, though she hadn’t eliminated calling her older sibling for help. “Look, until we figure out how to send this baby back where they came from, we’re stuck with it,” she huffed, then looked down at the infant. “I wonder if they have a name… or do we name it? They didn’t exactly come here with a labeled diaper bag.”

“There is one very confused demon in Hell right now,” Hoso mused, half-listening to her girlfriend while the rest of her mind was running wild trying to figure out how to go from there. But her expression softened when she realized the demon fell asleep in Astrud’s arms. “Aw, that’s kind of sweet.”

She couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah, I guess I could warm up to this… temporarily, of course.”

I had typed up all this stuff abt dragula but then i lost it unfort.... But my stomach is keeping me up so i figured its a decent way to kill time..

Honestly after having listened to the podcast i enjoyed the show a bit more. Knowing tht boulets deliberately cut the floorshows to be as entertaining as possible n to reflect as positively as possible on the performers is actually rlly sweet? So this time around i wasnt as annoyed by not knowing about stuff.

Ngl i was a lil underwhelmed by Hoso's character? Idk the key was a cool touch but it just felt perplexed abt like .... Wht story was being told? Which isnt a criticism even bc im sure it came across to the judges well bc they were actually there lol.

Its cute tht Zava was giving Sig actual pointers? And how they're just such a peaches superfan? Getting her eyebrows down pat? Also zava did literally cast everyone to showcase them n push them to b their best? Like casting dahli n saint as the mothers when a. They are the 'veterans' at this point, as well as Dahli being very into keeping everything King-adjacent. Sig as the igor/riff raff character to push her to face act more and also have a more ...classic-horror monster silhouette?

Also tbh it is Very funny to me tht Sig was like 'yes this look will be filthy but itll still have tits' meanwhile Zava has just tits out under a mesh harness? At this point im getting a leeeetle frustrated w sigourney just bc i do want to see if she can achieve anything ....gross? Bc her having trouble come up with anything? Idk mb its just bc of her whiteness but it is rubbing me wrong?

I love tht the boulets were considerate of the fact that saint might just be an understated performer but still wanted her to push the performance to be less reserved.

Also the death scene rocked my socks off, it was well deserved, weird that this is the first death where we didnt see the boulets though,

[artificialqueens]

@ anon who came up w vic x dahli content, i would like to see it !

.

[prynnehesters]

ok here we go, dragula and drag race who should win/how someone will win

ok let's do dragula first cuz it airs tonight

so track records

victoria- 3 win, 2 bottoms (but in general, has received high praise on everything but the dnd challenge)

hoso- 2 win, 1 bottoms (they are not into hoso as much as they were last season)

koco- 1 win, 2 bottoms (the boulets love koco and so do the viewers lol)

tbh the last ep it was more like "if ur not the winner, ur in the bottom" so eh but like, it was astrud's time. evah could've won, but like, idk, it wasn't really her season? i love her tho

anyways, i feel like koco had the biggest "glow up" in comparison to her old season. like she placed high her first ep her season but then she faltered over 2 eps and then went home. astrud's crash was wilder than koco's (won first ep, then had a meltdown and was exterminated...i feel bad for her but damn, that's nuts and idk if that has happened on drag race lol...the closest we've had was astina mandela on uk2 but that wasn't as drastic because there was a buffer between the two episodes with her being safe)

anyways....

i feel like koco has been more vocal and her outfits have been versatile and iconic. like, i love her.

hoso should've won s4 tbh. i feel like her storyline was kind of annoying. bcuz of drama (annoying) and like, her looks weren't as nutso as s4 (they in general seemed less versatile)

i feel like victoria...i was excited to see what she brought every week like her looks were nuts but like, idk. i think she is too advanced for dragula and probably should be working practical effects on horror movies but like, eh

koco is that bitch. it'd be nice to have another winner who is a poc and trans (now that i think about it, vander and dahli are poc, and landon is latino, so like...eh. idk. also i think dahli and vander are trans/nonbinary). biqtch is the only cis white gay lol

ok so like, i think im more ok if koco or victoria win. i think hoso should've won s4 but eh. i feel like it makes the most sense w how the season went w koco to win because she has surprised me so much

ok now onto drag race

track records

victoria- 3 top2 placements (1 win). started off meh but dominated after ep 2

silky- 2 top2 placements (1 win), 1 bottom. similar to victoria, started off meh, dominated, and then bottom last ep

rita- 2 top2 placements (1 win), 1 bottom. top2 first ep, top2 last competitive ep, kind of just there. only canadian left lol

rajah- 1 top2 placement, i love her, but like, i don't think she's gonna win? but who knows...idk i feel like she and silky have evolved so much from s11. s11 i loved rajah's looks but like, she had a terrible edit and i did feel bad for her because i feel like something was up w her idk. as6 she could've won ngl. i feel like she should've waited to be on tv but whatever. i love her anyways.

silky also had a great redemption on as6 bcuz her lipsyncs on s11 were rough or tryhard. as6 they were great and she only lost the last one cuz her prop faltered and also eureka's storyline lol

anyways, here's how i think the queens will make it to the finale

victoria- give her either a rock song or a song she can camp up. either campy or sexy tbh. i feel like if they give her a ballad, she could win, but idk. Ultimately, rock song. like something sexy w guitar lol

silky- she will fail if a prop or reveal fails on her. i feel like she is the most versatile lipsyncer out of the bunch cuz she can do everything, but idk. i feel like if there's a malfunction of some sort, she's out.

rajah- she's great w high energy pop numbers and like, older songs (80s). i think if you give her a slower song or like, a weirdly paced song, she's out.

rita- can do camp and gives really good face. her "you oughta know" lipsync is probably my favourite from canada s1. i think she will not do that well to an upbeat pop song that relies more on dance or like, a song that requires you to be sexy, but not, funny sexy

idk i want victoria to win but like, im cool w silky winning as well. i feel like rajah wasn't as emphasized in the season and i also feel like rita was just there so it makes sense for victoria. i love her! as a former lesbian, please win. i want her on all winners lmaooo

dragula spoilers sorta

but like i know ppl LOVE hoso n her drag is very cool and unique but her looks always look the same, same makeup n very busy, maximalist, that i don’t even know what the fuck i’m looking at n they’re far removed from the original prompt that u wouldn’t even know that it’s related until u look at it hard which like outside of a competition that’s obviously not a problem but like im tired of her same looks n she was told the same thing on her season (unfairly in a sense since dahli won w the same face too 💀) but like i would like to see her give us something different. outside of that she’s kinda annoying on the show dhdhdh but that’s besides the point.

[alaskaquaria]

FMK (Dragula edition bcs I'm that bitch): Victoria, James and Dahli

[league-0f-weirdos]

I heard wrist lasers as an activated ability for some reason. Oh sorry I meant playable Handsome Jack in the Presequel <333

handsome lowly hyperion employee jack- deserved better- needed a better GF- needed to tone down on the robot hate- was actually perfectly eccentricHandsome Jack- deserved a slow painful death as Angel sung over his broken body and ghost Roland whooped his butt- No seriously I fucking applaud Gearbox for making me hate Jack so fucking much, I fucking absolutely despise that ugly V shaped face cunt- seriously I don’t care how much it hurt he deserved w o r s e

General Knoxx- who- no seriously how forgettable is he from Borderlands 1 that he’s basically never referenced again. I have yet to see a picture of the guy. I don’t even know if he was Atlas or Dahli or just some psycho that took lead
