UK Episode Five

UK Hun?

I know I haven't at all talked about Drag Race UK this season, but I have ~opinions~ and my flatmate is getting bored of me so here we are.

First episode back after lockdown! I feel so bad for these queens, started filming, get sent home for seven months, have no idea if/when they're going to start filming again, lose income for 7 months, it must have been so awful. But I'm glad they're all back! Except poor Veronica who got covid - I hope they do a Eureka and invite her back for season 3, I feel like she had so much more to show!

Of course they brought someone back to replace her, typical drag race gag, but nice that someone else got another chance! Having said that, it should have been Astina. She didn't deserve to go home in the first place, imo. I do think it was kind of harsh to throw that at everyone first thing though! Like the eliminated three didn't get to do anything to even fight for it, and for all the remaining queens, like its been seven months! Who remembers things that long?? Not me, that's for damn sure. I think that was kind of harsh, and I think a lot of people did go for Joe maybe as a safe choice, like there's always an argument for the queen who went home first, they didn't really get to show much. You know what I wish, I wish those three had been a group for the Eurovision (I refuse to say Rurovision) challenge, and then everyone got a chance to vote someone back. That would have felt fairer somehow.

Anyway. I was initially really glad we got Joe back, because I really felt like she did have more to show. I was soon to be disappointed, however 😂

I do love the music challenges, and I adore MNEK, I hope he is like the permanent music judge. One of my favourite moments was him, I think it was after Bimini's first take, going "well...its good that we have that..." very like Chrissy Teigen 😬 that was so funny to me, I loved it.

1. A'Whora

Before the covid break I really didn't like A'Whora, but I feel like she's come back a bit more relaxed, a bit more open, and I liked her so much more this episode. I feel like maybe when she came back she was a bit more relaxed because she knew (kind of) what she was walking into, so she felt a but more at home, maybe. Anyway, I think she did really well this week! She's not a singer, but she leaned into this moany sexy thing that some people do do at Eurovision, and hey, sex sells! I think it was a smart choice for her.

Her look as well... amazing. You guys it was a bag of chips! She had wooden forks as her earrings! The font of the newspaper was to scale! She was carrying a salt shaker! It was so sick, I loved it. I loved seeing her be fashion and polished and beautiful, but also whimsy and funny at the same time! Great week for A'Whora.

2. Bimini Bon Boulash

We LOOOOOOOVE Bimini Bon Boulash! For me, she was the absolute stand out this week, I just adored her! Her verse was amazing, her lyrics were great, her very East London attitude was everything, I just loved it. And her outfit! That mad pink cowboy barbie? Incredible! Also, so Eurovision. And the jump off the stool! That lives in my head rent free. "Somebody do a death drop or summing!" Perfect. The whole performance was amazing.

Also her runway looooooook! It was so beautiful, so fashion, I was getting Gautier from that lace and the umbrella... everything about it to me was so perfect. I know it was a team win, but to me Bimini absolutely killed it, and she was my winner 🥰🥰

3. Ellie Diamond

I love Ellie, but honestly I think she's too young for this competition. She's so great, but if you give her just a couple more years, she's going to be absolutely unstoppable. I think she did pretty well this week, her lyrics were fun, she is a dancer, she performed great! I do agree with Michelle, she did look a little bit like she was in her head for a lot of the performance, but that just comes with confidence, and when you've not performed for 7 months and then suddenly you're on the main stage, that's got to be super nerve wracking!

I also think Ellie was a victim of a bad group this week. I think the group as a whole didn't have a lot of direction or focus, the choreography wasn't that great, they didn't really feel like a group. It was unfortunate. I feel like she did the best she could.

I kind of loved her runway, I think the seagull thing was hilarious! She was a human size seagull! That's hysterical. The only thing I kind of wish is that she'd had ridiculous padding on. Like, what's funnier than a giant seagull with huge tits in a bikini. I think that's so funny.

4. Joe Black

Oh Joe. I was excited for Joe to come back, but as soon as she walked out to the Eurovision challenge in that dress with that wig and a belt, I knew it was over.

I'll get into the dress H&M/Primark drama in a second, but first let's talk about the actual challenge. Joe's lyrics were pretty good, but the way she performed them was just so at odds with the track. It's cheesy Euro pop, you know? I just feel like she could have done things differently. And then with the choreo...look I don't expect anyone to walk in being a great dancer and doing flips and splits and all that, but I just felt like she didn't even really try with the moves Ellie and Tia wanted to do. Maybe that was the edit, I don't know. I also feel like, as team leader, she could have found some solutions, like they could've had Tia & Ellie doing these amazing moves, and Sister & Joe could have done something more simple, or they could have found some comedy Joe could lean into while the others were dancing, but it just seemed like they didn't even try and find a way around it? It was just a bit weird to me.

And then she came out for the runway, and it was like chalk and cheese. Joe Black had by far and away the best runway look of the night. That's one of my favourite things that's ever been worn on UK Drag Race, it was amazing. But it was also like girl if you can do that, why were you wearing H&M during the main challenge? And like, I'd get it, if that dress was beautiful, or bold, or she'd used it as a base and done something to it, but it wasn't. It was so basic, and she even said she knew it was basic, and it didn't even fit her right. It was just so disappointing.

Honestly, I understand what Ru was saying about not wanting to see off the rack. I can't believe I'm about to be defending Transphobia Paul, but I actually kind of agree. And it's not about money, I don't think anyone has to spend loads of money to be a good drag queen, I think its just about it being a Look. A Moment. Like this is internationally available TV. And you're going to come out to perform in a dress off the sale rack that you just threw on and belted? I just find that disappointing. And I get what people are saying about Astina in week 1 winning with an off the rack outfit, but at least she did something with it. I mean, first of all it at least was a cool jacket. But then she built this outfit, and sold a character, she gave us an East London Moment, and it didn't matter that the jacket was from ASOS.

Joe didn't give us anything with that dress. She did nothing with it, and she didn't give us a character or a presentation, it was just an ugly dress. But then she came out in that incredible runway look, why such a disconnect? And I know that it was covid, and everyone had a loss of income, but girl the filming started before that. Like Joe should have already had the wardrobe for the season all ready before the lockdown. And if she didn't, she had 7 months to do literally anything with that dress. Stone it, glitter it, paint it, dye it, wreck it with bleach, make it a top, make it a jacket, do SOMETHING! You know? Also, that runway look? Idk if she made it or commissioned it, but baby that was not cheap. That took time, and energy, and effort, and money, so I'm calling bullshit on "maybe she could only afford a sale rack H&M dress 😔". Bullshit, Vivienne.

I was just so disappointed in Joe. I'm glad she went home.

5. Lawrence Chaney

I was worried for Lawrence this week! She's not known for being a singer or a dancer, and she was the only plus size girl in her group. As a big bitch myself I know it can be intimidating to be surrounded by thin people, especially when you're doing things you're not confident in.

But bitch she fucking turned it out this week! She wrote good lyrics, she kept up with the choreography, but most importantly, she performed the song. Like she leaned into not being a good dancer, she didn't look unsure or awkward, she just did it. I love that about Lawrence, she always just gives it her best, and I respect the hell out of it.

Her day at the seaside look was cute. It was a little bit obvious, a little bit literal, but it was well made, it fit her beautifully, and she looked fantastic. She did the assignment, and tbh I'm happy with that. She did a good job, and I'm proud of her!

6. Sister Sister

Honesly, the fact that Tia Kofi was in the bottom two when Sister Sister was right there is a fucking hate crime.

I genuinely forgot Sister Sister even existed. Like the only memorable thing she has done all season is her Morning Talk Show goth, and that was painful to watch. And she spends all her confessionals just bitching and moaning about other people! She spent the whole Talk Show episode complaining about Veronica and saying she didn't wanna work with her, but bitch what did you do?? If you think someone else is boring, you should have no trouble out shining them! And then she didn't!

I'm over it with her. Her performance wasn't that good, her lyrics weren't that good, and then her runway look was like the Wish version of A'Whora's.

I'm not totally certain that I buy that Sister stole it as a concept from A'Whora, but... maybe? Like, if Sister had really seen A'Whora's when they were filming the first time, and Sister had something totally different back then... I can see that maybe she thought "oh, thats a way better idea". All I know is, if you're gonna do the same look as someone else, you better leave them in the dust; and she didn't. She should have been lipsyncing this week.

7. Tayce

Tayce really pulled it out this week! Her rap was one of the best performances in the whole show, she killed it! Her lyrics were great, she really delivered them like a rapper, and them she performed the hell out of the song! Loved it. The only things I had to say about Tayce was that she seemed like the odd one out in the group in terms of outfits? Like everyone else went very Eurovision, cheesy pop pink, and she went with a very cool, edgy, darker look. Like, she looked stunning, and I looooved her hair, but it just didn't quite fit with the rest of the group. But that's a real nitpick, in terms of the actual performance, she was amazing!

Tayce's runway look. It was okay. It was a little bit literal for me, she went for shells and netting. It was cool, she looked beautiful, but it wasn't like a knockout for me.

8. Tia Kofi

Tia got a raw fucking deal this week. She was the best performer in her group by a country fucking mile, she had the best lyrics, she was the best rapper, and I think she looked the best out of the four in that group (during during challenge). I could not believe they put her in the bottom two.

Okay, her runway look was not great. It was a long way from great. But at least she had a unique concept (*cough* Sister), and she gave us some form of presentation. It could have been a lot better, but there was potential! I really wish that she'd had a much more defined look, I wish the skirt had been a high waisted pencil skirt, with some kind of cone-like texture somehow, really fitted and beautiful. And then I wish the top had been really big and over the top ruffles, maybe tulle, just something BIG. And that wouldn't have had to be expensive, you can buy cheap pencil skirts, she could have dyed one brown herself, and then she could have bought that cheap mesh that looks like tulle and made a really big rounded ice cream top out of it - I'm just proving my point about Joe Black and the off the rack thing now btw. But I wish it had just been a bit more considered than it was. And I also wish she'd had a flake head piece instead of a cherry, because when you buy those ice creams at the beach it's always a 99.

One thing I will give Tia's runway this week is that her face was stunning. I think that's the best her face has looked all season, the makeup was beautiful.

There was kind of a lot of drama this week with the whole off the rack thing, and then the A'Whora vs Sister Sister conspiracy, and I kind of loved it! I also really enjoyed this challenge, I feel like they've had much better and more interesting challenges on the UK series than the American one. Also UK Hun is going to be in my head for weeks.

I'm picking my top 2 of the season as Lawrence Chaney and Bimini Bon Boulash. Veronica Green would have been up there for me as well, it's a real shame that she got sick and couldn't finish this season! I really really hope they bring her back for season 3!

post-mid thoughts

okay let’s get right into this. LET’S CHAT. i just finished the game and i’m itching to talk about it. 

(i’ll try to keep spoilers to a minimum.)

PROS

the vibe this game gives is shockingly nice. much fall. very autumn. it’s very much what i want from a game that focuses on witches in salem during halloween.

frank and joe’s presence (SPOOK SQUAD), which honestly felt like a purposeful strategic move to tie something familiar (same with deirdre tbh) into a game that changed so much from its predecessors.

still, i genuinely loved those convos in which they petition nancy to join their detective agency. WHY nancy was so reluctant, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW

that moment when ned called at the beginning and it blatantly sounded like he was cheating on nancy. honestly after all those unceremoniously cancelled dates he deserves this

having so many characters! this game made the one-suspect horror of ransom of the seven ships feel like a far-off nightmare.

that bangin’ song that kept playing? midnight city by m83 vibes anybody?

and of course the gem in the crown: motherfucking DEIRDRE (is anybody even remotely surprised to hear me say this). DEIRDRE!!!! deirdre. what a gal. she felt very much like herself. sassy bitchy smart bossy INCREDIBLE. the GOAT. also, the deirdre/nancy was like someone peered into my soul and gave me exactly what i wanted from those two. name a more iconic duo. crime-fighting partners for life, i take no other options.

meanwhile! CONS

this game’s graphics were great! .............back in 2005. who called, and want their cgi back. the worst offense of this is arguably the UNNATURALLY TWITCHY PEOPLE. 

(double the trouble for all those times when someone continues moving long after they’re done speaking. WHO APPROVED THIS)

i feel like joe and deirdre were especially bad in this regard. there were times when deirdre looked like a badly handled marionette puppet. and joe looked like he constantly needed to go to the bathroom. so. much. shifting.

(the only exception to these horrific graphics were the nature shots, which were decent. it felt almost like the entire focus was on that. and just that.)

(also, why was everything in the background always so BLURRY. why.)

(has anybody out there played sherlock holmes nemesis? cause the graphics feel pretty much perfectly on par with that game and it came out IN 2007. 2007, PEOPLE)

WHY WAS NED’S SIDE OF THAT PHONE CONVO AT THE END COMPLETELY SILENT

there were moments in this storyline that felt so unbearably soap-opera. the moment [REDACTED’S] criminal record is published in the paper (brenda carlton moved to salem, i guess???), and [REDACTED] starts taking blame for the fire, and [REDACTED] starts yelling at [REDACTED] about starting the fire, and then [REDACTED] starts taking blame for the other fire, everything sort of fell apart for me.

(arson really runs in that family, huh)

although was anything as bad as the ending when nancy confronts the bad guy and it just goes on and on and on? and bad guy even admits to all this in front of a judge of the law (even if said judge’s spirit is well and truly crushed and has been the entire game)? and nancy also takes this opportunity to lecture any adult in sight like she’s some kind of paragon of True Justice?

okay. can’t avoid this one. nancy’s voice. fuck, i couldn’t get past it. it was so emotionless. it was so not nancy. i really went into this with a somewhat open mind but no. (anybody been subjecting themselves to the christmas prince netflix movies? cause nancy sounds exactly like the protag. minus some emotion.)

ALSO, DID THAT TRUTH SERUM EVER PLAY A ROLE. DID I MISS SOMETHING. (it’s also fucking hilarious that nancy won’t believe in ghosts but will put a modicum of trust into a  t r u t h  s e r u m)

also, i’m sorry to anyone seeing this on multiple blogs and i’ll try to keep my answers fresh (where applicable)

a - age: thirty-one

b - birthplace: cleveland, ohio which is. it’s terrible. 

c - current time: 4:28PM PST

d - drink you last had: coffee which i need to quit drinking because i’m back up to 2 cups a day. which isn’t bad, but i’m recovering from a 6 cup habit and i need to not do this again

e - easiest person to talk to: honestly anyone i talk to regularly is easy to talk to because otherwise i would. not.

f - *current* favourite song: if i had to pick one out of the air it’d be ‘lovers who uncover’ by crystal castles which was also the last thing that came up on my playlist

g - grossest memory: most recently it was the BIGGEST pile of shit ever in the middle of the sidewalk because someone didn’t clean up after their dog. to be fair i wouldn’t have wanted to deal with that either

h - horror yes or horror no: i only like horror if the movie is like. objectively poor-quality and terrible. otherwise i have a weak stomach sometimes and realistic gore for its own sake gets to me

i - in love?: god yes

j - jealous of people?: my ability to compare myself to other people and make myself feel like utter shit is unparalleled 

admittedly in love i can be a little bit insecure but it passes quickly enough. i think a certain amount of that is normal with poly people, it’s just not talked about because of the horror stories surrounding that

l - love at first sight or should i walk by again?: i can’t think of anything i believe in less tbh!

m - middle name: it’s linear.  i hate it

n - number of siblings: 3 older half siblings and 3 younger full siblings. dreaded middle child

o - one wish: to learn how to sail this ship competently or at least hold it together long enough to hit land and then i can wreck and spend the rest of my days eating mangoes

this was a success and retirement analogy but it kind of got away from me

the point here is that my aspirations aren’t particularly high

p - person you called last: it was probably to make an appointment for something or other but honestly i avoid making phone calls if at all possible

q - question you are always (often) asked: i get asked such weird shit sometimes because i think i give off a vibe that i’ll answer pretty much anything (i will) but “WHY ARE YOU SO QUIET????” is something i’ve been hearing since my earliest days. and i’m definitely pretty quiet if i don’t know you, but once i do/get comfortable i basically never shut up

r - reason to smile: i actually laugh/smile a lot because most shit is hilarious if you don’t overthink it (i overthink it)

s - song you sang last: probably a disney song since i tend to sing a lot of these for whatever reason

t - time you woke up: i don’t clearly remember but probably somewhere between four and five, which is my usual.

u - underwear colour: i am almost never wearing this and when i do, it’s black

v - vacation destination: i like forests and natural springs so probably somewhere not too far away from where i live now

w - worst habit: i pick my cuticles a lot and it’s actually really bad sometimes, especially in winter when my hands are dry anyway

x - x-rays: i guess i’ve had a bunch of these for various reasons? mostly dental but i’ve had a bunch of chest x-rays as well

y - your favourite food: at the moment it’s thai green curry

z - zodiac sign: libra and i’m told it fits but this might be people’s way of calling me passive-aggressive

[alphabees-writes]

Glee - S1 E2 (Showmance)

Mama Mia, here I go again!

Please don’t tell me this GROWN MAN had his license plate changed to “GLEE” to reflect the high school club he runs. PLEASE.

Rachel brings a whole-ass SUITCASE to school? I know she’s extra by nature but PLEASE.

Finn just Doesn’t Know What Things Are! I adore him. 

You’re really just going to walk by Kurt hanging out by the dumpster with a bunch of dudes who harass him in the hallways? AGAIN? Nice one.

“One day, you will all work for me” I doubt these guys are going to be working up the ranks at Vogue.com, Kurt, but I rate the energy.

Emma you’re better than this dude. Run. Run as fast as your hollow bird pelvis will let you.

SANTANA’S FIRST LINE!!! You’re right, they should get a room. 

For all the creepy obsessing Will’s done so far over the glee kids, you’d think HE would be the one to notice how they don’t have enough members to qualify

Sue points out a bunch of special ed classes, and yet I’m pretty sure she says McKinley has no real support available for special needs students later on? They must be whack classes

These people are really acting like all Will does is coach the glee kids even though he’s literally a Spanish teacher

Early Quinn may be incredibly mean, but like, I’d say thanks if she killed me 

Rachel really has a whole spare outfit ready to change in to post-slushying? I guess that makes sense if it happens that regularly

Cory Monteith REALLY couldn’t dance and we love him for it

Disco didn’t suck until Mr Schue got his grubby little mitts on it

I almost forgot about Kurt’s selection of hats. What is this one? A fez? It’s fez shaped

Why is Kurt so sure they’ll throw fruit specifically? Is that McKinley asshole custom?

Terri’s actress, once again nailing the act of making me want to throttle her

Kendra also nails that.

A “used” house oh my god

THIS ARGUMENT BETWEEN KURT AND MERCEDES IS GOLDEN. “You need to call me before you dress yourself. You loo like a technicolor zebra.” They REALLY match. God I hope they ad-libbed that.

It’s the first rap of the show, folks. 

I hate Mr Schue doing Kanye, I really do, but imagine Finn doing it instead like he planned. Better? Worse? I can’t even tell anymore. 

The LOOK Kurt gives Mercedes when she starts belting out the Jamie Foxx part... Don’t be jealous hon you’ll get your bars. For real though his face is hilarious, he looks like he’s worried she’s about to burst a blood vessel with all that TALENT

Sign #5 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: Get your hands OFF of Kurt Will Schuester he doesn’t want to dance! Tbh though I love season 1 Kurt during the group numbers because he just always looks SO done.

Mr Schue’s also wearing a T-shirt that says “DITCH PLANS” on it. Please DITCH the state instead?

KEVIN MCHALE IS THE UNSUNG VOCAL HERO OF THIS WHOLE SHOW AND I WILL NEVER LET ANYBODY FORGET IT

Watching them all sing in a goofy, candid way is honestly healing. 

KURT’S DOING THE SINGLE LADIES RING-HAND MOVE IN THE BACKGROUND THIS BOY REALLY LOVES HIS BEY. Me too Kurt me too

They straight up gave Rachel no gag reflex and had her guidance counsellor make a joke about it? Ok RIB

“Have you ever liked somebody so much you just want to lock yourself in your room, turn on sad music and cry?” Same girl, same

AAAaaaAAALllLlLLLLLlll BYYYYY MYYY SEEEEeeeEEEEEEEELFFFF.........bY mYsEeElF i’M bY mYsElF

Ok I like Emma but she sometimes kinda sucks at her job

“He doesn’t even notice me” Rachel, hon, he’s probably already warned his neighbours about you

“Gay parents encourage rebellion” PICK A SIDE, SUE! I really can’t keep up with the convenient flip-flopping of her bigotry. And with Jean, you’d think she’d go off on Rachel for calling people “chromosonally-challenged”

Finn, of course you know who Justin Timberlake is... That’s Mr Schue’s hotter, less evil twin!

I love how they have to label Robin Thicke on the poster - you know, because of how awful and irrelevant he was even then?

Half the janitors are just gone. How has this school not been closed down already?

Sign #6 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: Mr Schue: I want to build a club where people can express themselves musically Literally every single member: Hello Mr Schue, I’m here to express how much I dislike the music you’re making us perform. Mr Schue: Never talk to me or my fake-unborn-son ever again

Humble, modest Finn going d’aww shucks and telling Rachel to stop complimenting him is adorable. I love him!!!

How could I forget the celibacy club... I almost feel bad for Quinn, he’ like the only person there who genuinely cares about being celibate. I don’t buy that anybody’s convinced that Puck’s a virgin...

The fact that Finn thought joining the celibacy club would get him laid is just... Yeah. It suits him. 

Jacob Ben Israel you will die by my hand you slimy, unforgivable bastard. NOBODY IS OBLIGATED TO GET YOUR DINGER WET, SCUMBAG! Short skirts are not an entitlement!!!

I still don’t know what Puck means when he says “Those skirts are crunchy toast” and I don’t think I want to know.

OH GOD T H E M A I L M A N . . .

Finn Hudson has canonically nearly killed a man and I don’t think anybody talks about that enough.

I beg all of you to look up this scene and listen to the way Finn goes “Ahahaha... Driving’s fun...” Like it just brings me so much joy. What a doofus. 

Carole’s first instinct is to yell “OH MY GOD YOU’VE KILLED HIM WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?!” Calm down queen he’s gon be fine

Quinn really hates contraception, huh!

I know your wife is a shit, Mr Schue, but it’s fucking reprehensible to lead on another woman. It’s clearly intentional at this point I’m sorry, you don’t put chalk dust on somebody’s nose like that platonically!

Rachel: We’re going to give them what they want! Kurt: Blood? God I love him

I do love the running gag of Figgins wildly overestimating the excitement for the assemblies tbh

This school doesn’t have working toilets but, hey, on the bright side, all you have to do to get expelled is shit yourself!

“Yay, Glee! Glee kids hooray!” Emma just warms my cockles

Will referring to the glee club and saying “We’re on our way back” like no, old man, you’re not getting clout for this. Then again, neither are any of the students until they’ve graduated...

AHH, PUSH IT! KURT’S HIPS. LOOK AT THEM GO. HE’S SO INTO IT.

I WANT THE FACE SUE MAKES WHEN SHE SEES FIGGINS TAPPING HIS FOOT TATTOOED ON MY HEART

Finn’s face as he gets ready to start his part... He’s so nervous. Bless him...

THE PERFECT TIMING OF KURT SLAPPING HIS ASS. And then the zoom on that fucking fanny pack going crazy this scene is so fucking iconic. That fanny pack has been burned into my retinas forever. 

AND THE WAY HE WOBBLES HIS HEAD AROUND AS HE STEPS BACK. KURT! FUCKING! HUMMEL!

Oh god, now he’s crawling across the floor to Mercedes. I can’t tear my eyes away he’s GOING for it!

They really had Finn and Rachel go that hard? Honestly up until that point, the routine isn’t too overtly sexual, but now I understand why they get in trouble 

I DON’T GET HOW THEY’RE STILL LOOKED DOWN ON AFTER THIS PERFORMANCE! Nearly everybody applauds! RIB just had to have that cake and eat it too. 

I demand Will’s resignation too, Sue

Ah, the approved songs list... That they will proceed to ignore for the rest of the season post the Unholy Trinity’s audition

Sign #7 That Mr Schuester Is An Asshole: He has NO PLACE to be mad at Rachel here. You didn’t listen to any of your students, you wouldn’t compromise, and now they’re going on a sex riot. You did this!

Ken Tanaka you cannot undermine a woman’s self esteem and convince her to settle for you as a second choice, and then complain about feeling like a second choice... WHY do they ever act like he’s a victim here?!

Finn saw that whole-ass picnic set up and didn’t think to ask about it? King. I love one (1) himbo. The way he says “You’re cool, Rachel” just fucks me up every time...

She pours him the TINIEST drink in the world? Girl the cups not even a tenth full and he’s a big boy...

The real OTP is Finn x Airplane Cups

Why does Rachel lie down for the kiss... Is it solely so Finn can have his little overflow at the mayo factory or???

THE MAILMAN SCENE HAPPENS EVERY TIME HE KA-BLAMOS OH MY GOD HOW DID I FORGET...

Look, Rachel, I get that it sucks that he ran away, but he literally has a girlfriend? You couldn’t have expected things to go that well...

THE UNHOLY TRINITY FORMS... I’M QUAKING

Throwback to how blatantly obvious it was that Santana and Quinn weren’t singing at all. How did they think they’d get away with that...

Brittany’s original sideswept bangs? Ugh. Giving me LIFE.

Dianna’s voice turned me gay. I’m genuinely convinced my sexuality is Quinn Fabray’s fault and I’m not even mad?

By this point we know next to nothing about Santana’s character, but the second Sue suggests sabotage, her face fucking lights up. She’s living for it already 10/10

Will you can’t make Emma tag along to all your janitorial shifts I’m sorry. It’s just that you’re married. And a jackass. 

I know Rachel went behind his back, but there’s no real reason to give Quinn the Don’t Stop Believing solo? She’s talented and incredible and I love her, sure, but it doesn’t suit her voice at all my guy, if you didn’t have biscuits for ears you’d know that...

Is this the only instance where Will takes actual responsibility for the glee club’s actions rather than blaming it all on the kids? Wow... A rare gem.

The way he says “I should never have pushed disco so hard...” All serious like... Get a fucking grip

I can believe that Rachel’s neighbours would sue her for singing all the god damn time

Rachel singing “Take A Bow” is more fitting than I realised. At first I was like, “that’s dumb, Finn doesn’t really realise what he did anyway” but it fits her character to use a song and spin it so she feels empowered by it in the end. Or at least, tries to feel that way.

So there’s episode 2! What a hot mess. We love our hot mess.

[witter-potter]

a-z :D

ohh alright anon we’re just gonna go there and do all of them!!! alright!!! let’s do this!!! 

A: Your current OTP. 

well, as y’all know i’m always on my rucas shipping bullshit because i’m me and i’m literally always thinking about them, but i’m also currently really into glenn/maggie, like i’ve shipped them for years but i’m in a Mood™ with them recently, so i’d say them. 

(gonna continue these under the cut bc this is probs gonna be long) 

B: A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind. 

this isn’t necessarily true anymore bc i kind of don’t care abt any ships from this universe and i stopped watching all these shows but back in the Day aka like 2014, i was watching arrow and the flash and phoebe ( @justiceleague2017dirzacksnyder ) turned me into a barry/felicity shipper. 

C: A pairing you wish you shipped, but just can't. 

there are very few ships that i actively wished that i shipped but a lot of the time i wish that i shipped a ship that was more popular in a lot of my fandoms, like i like the pairing itself but i wish that just ONCE i could ship the most popular ship in a fandom for all the content 

D: What was the first thing you ever contributed to a fandom? 

looking back on my ff.net account, which was my first Online account, the first thing i ever contributed to any fandom was a sonny with a chance fanfiction back in july of 2009. 

E: Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what? 

ajflkdasf i definitely have, i have this han solo edit that was kind of my first “cracky” edit that i ever posted and then i have the best post i ever made (my riley “look what you made me do” edit) and i also think my girl meets world incorrect quotes would also fall under this category 

F: What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? What fandom was it? 

hm, i would maybe say the walking dead? i’ve considered myself part of the fandom for like 3 years even tho there was a solid like 9 months where i didn’t post any original content, i’ve been a fan for a long time and have plenty of original content to show for my time in the fandom 

G: What was your first fandom? 

honestly?? probably like late 2000s disney/nick shows ajkfldjasf, that’s what all my earliest fandom contributions are for and considering i was joining the internet fandoms at like age 13, it makes sense 

H: Do you prefer real-life TV shows or animated TV shows? 

real life! the only animated show i’ve ever been super into is bob’s burgers, which is like my favorite show of all time, but most of my other favorite shows are real life, not animated. 

I: Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why? 

tumblr has never ruined an entire tv show fandom for me but it’s definitely ruined ships/shipping fandoms for me, like a lot of times if a shipping fandom is really like rude towards one of my favorite characters that’ll make me stop being a fan of that ship/that ship fandom.

J: Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr. 

tbh most fandoms that i join, i join them because of tumblr like i distinctly remember the walking dead being all over my tumblr and originally having no desire to watch it but all the gifs and edits that i saw made me really interested eventually so i caved and watched it. the same kind of goes for girl meets world too. 

K: How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom(s). 

I HAVE TO SAY that most people in the rucas fandom are pretty wonderful and all things considered the rucas fandom is probably the nicest shipping fandom i’ve ever been in like obviously there are sour apples in every fandom, but most rucas shippers are pretty sweet, i will also say that i’ve never met a mean gleggie shipper which i’m Thankful for. 

L: Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for? 

considering my favorite gifmaker AND fanfic author is maggie @friarlucas aka my bestie, i like to think that i have more than one request BUT if i only had one and am not allowed to request the next chapter of atlp, i would request a follow up to her hp au fic where lucas fell off his broom 

M: A person who got you into a fandom and what fandom they pulled you in to. 

at the beginning of our friendship, samantha @jakeamys kinda pulled me into the dylan o’brien fandom tbh, that’s really the only time i can think of something like that happening tho 

N: Your favorite fandom (for the people; not the thing you fangirl over). 

HONESTLY probably the gleggie fandom, when i was more firmly in that fandom every single person that i met was an angel and i also have to say that i always felt like most gleggie shippers loved both glenn and maggie and truly just wanted to see them together and just genuinely loved their scenes and that’s all you can ask for which i love, i hope all my gleggie shippers out there are doing well bc i love them all 

O: Choose a song at random, what ship does it remind you of? 

i’m sorry i can’t think of any song randomly ajfkljdaf i’m really bad at questions like this i’m sorry i failed you 

P: Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas). 

OK so an au i’ve had on my mind for like a week that i have yet to post abt is a zombie apocalypse au for riley and lucas where the apocalypse happens when they’re in college (+ dating long distance) so riley is in nyc and lucas is in texas so obviously they have no way to contact each other and they’re really far apart and they have no idea if the other one is still alive and then like a year or two into the apocalypse riley is living at this community/camp and one day lucas randomly shows up bc like he was wandering around the area and ended up getting hurt and needed help and he has no idea riley is there and wow they reunite and it’s beautiful 

Q: A ship you’ve abandoned and why. 

i used to be really into riley and maya and i just kind of lost interest in them, i realized that i just didn’t like them as much as i thought i did so i don’t really consider myself a shipper of them anymore 

R: A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships.  

i don’t know if i’m necessarily the Only shipper but i feel like i’m one of the few people who ships zay and lucas romantically, same goes for maggie and sasha like i don’t think i’m the only one but i’m one of the few that’s for sure 

S: What's a headcanon you have? 

i literally have been sitting here for like 10 minutes trying to come up with a hc but like i can’t think of anything i’m so sorry anon for failing you i’ll try and do better next time 

T: What are your favorite male/male ships or female/female ships? 

i’ll admit that i don’t have many m/m ships but i really love zay/lucas (girl meets world) and adam/ronan (the raven cycle), as for f/f ships i love maggie/sasha (the walking dead), riley/smackle (girl meets world), malia/lydia (teen wolf) and spencer/emily (pretty little liars) 

U: What are your favorite male/female ships? 

my top five m/f ships are riley/lucas (girl meets world), glenn/maggie (the walking dead), han/leia (star wars), matt/julie (friday night lights) and rich/grace (skins) 

V: Do you have any 3-way ships? If so, what?

riley/lucas/zay!!!! the ot3 we were robbed of!!!!!!!!!!! they’re really all i can think of tho. 

W: 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms. 

riley matthews (girl meets world), maggie greene (the walking dead), julie taylor (friday night lights), han solo (star wars) and spencer hastings (pretty little liars) 

X: 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms. 

riley/lucas (girl meets world), glenn/maggie (the walking dead), han/leia (star wars) 

Y: A fandom you’re in but have no ships from. 

i truthfully ship in pretty much any fandom that i’m in but i would say that i have pretty much no ships when it comes to bob’s burgers like, obviously, i love bob and linda but like outside of that i don’t really “ship” anything???

Z: What's a ship that you want to ship publicly, but everyone on tumblr hates it so you keep your mouth shut about it?

i literally can’t think of anything for this one??? like yeah tumblr hates a lot of my ships but i’m also not like ashamed of any of them so like???? i can’t say there’s anything that i don’t talk abt shipping if that makes any sense 

[notprincehamlet]

a post about elisabeth because we love a tradition

and because empirical evidence shows that these posts really do help me when I’m feeling shitty

This is still kinda surreal to me tbh. Pia???? As Elisabeth???? I saw it???? Wild.

First of all, I was an asshole and was late to the show :)))) I KNOW. I’M AN ASS. I didn’t miss a lot though, they were just starting to sing the prologue as I was getting to my seat, but I missed the very beginning + I had to disturb other people, I still feel awful about it u g h

(the reason behind that was that I kinda underestimated how far into the park the palace was lmao I had to do a lot of running and asking random people for directions)

This tainted the experience a bit but what are we gonna do now  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The crowd was H U G E though

And my seat wasn’t as far off as I initially thought!! Brilliant.

pia: comes out in her cute little als jij dress me, tearing up: legendary. amazing. brilliant. life changing. such acting. love my bae.

(I still hadn’t processed that i’m looking at Pia Douwes playing Elisabeth by that time because i was still thinking about being late. oh well.)

*internal screaming during Niets weegt zwaar because !!!!!! So cute!!!!! I love Pia Douwes!!!!!! And suffering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Alle vragen zijn gesteld fucked me up because it’s my favourite ensemble song and it also hit me that i’m SEEING ELISABETH WITH PIA WITH MY OWN UNWORTHY EYES

btw the sound was Good and the orchestra was amazing!!

De laatste dans was SO DRAMATIC ffs stanley (I loved it)

I also loved all those dips (also dramatique)

I didn’t think I would ever hear Mijn leven is van mij/Ich gehör nur mir live wow wow wow #humbledandblessed (well, she sang the multilanguage version at the concert last year, but it’s….. not the same thing)

The part right before Er valt een zwarte schaduw where Elisabeth screams for Sophie became one of my favourite parts of the show (it’s always the little things, I guess)

“NEE IK WIL NOG LEVEN” MY GIRL

I’ve been waiting to hear the Mijn leven is van mij reprise ALL MY LIFE (okay, five years) OHMYGODBNHIFETHB i wish i could see Pia’s face during that part (well, during the whole thing but yeah) but nevertheless it was amazing i almost cried she looked so good IM DEAD

Stanley was so casually lounging on that couch during Mama waar ben je, I laughed #dramatic

Stanley is my satanic laughter goals though

And the boy who played little Rudolf was sweet

DURING KITSCH PIA CAME OUT RIDING IN A CARRIAGE WITH TWO ACTUAL BLACK HORSES AND WAVING TO THE CROWD, LIKE YAS 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻 YOUR MAJESTY 💜✨👑 F U C K  M E  U P💦😍🔥

But honestly, how appropriate was that for a song called Kitsch lmao

And just as appropriate for the actual queen of the universe Pia Douwes. LEGENDS ONLY

I love me some dramatic hand waving in Als ik dansen wil :“) imo that song was one of the best parts of the show, plus Wenn ich tanzen will was the first Elisabeth song I ever heard, so that made it special too

Pia’s Elisabeth was so angry during that song, amazing

*dramatic dip*

there were no horse props during the weirdest scene of the entire musical, so the actors were moving without them and it looked like riverdance gone wrong or maybe RIGHT, it was hilarious

I loved Nur kein genieren (whatever the Dutch song title is) so much, and it wasn’t even because of the pretty girls in corsets :)))

I love the outfits Pia used to wear during Maladie and I was kinda looking forward to it but for the sake of the show she was already wearing the Nichts nichts gar nichts dress *cue slight disappointment*

The whole Maladie scene though DAMN GIRL

The dutch version of Nichts nichts gar nichts never resonated with me the same way as the German one, but still. Goosebumps. I love suffering.

Pia!Elisabeth seemed 10097999x times more bitter than usual during that song, which I LOVED

Er valt een zwarte schaduw was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 SO GOOD. I LOVE THIS SONG. SO BLESSED. SO MOVED. SO GRATEFUL.

I was still harbouring a teeny tiny hope they would include the Als jij reprise because I just. Love that song. So much. Especially the Dutch version. But they didn’t include it 💔

But then Pia came on stage in that DRESS and in that WIG and HOW DARE SHE and WHY CAN’T I SEE THE DRESS PROPERLY, I NEED TO INVEST IN OPERA GLASSES

Anyway, Was ik jouw spiegel maar is SO important to me, I cried many a night because of that song, both the Dutch and German versions. Even early in my Elisabeth days when I called it “the spiegel song” because I only knew like two words in German… Ah. Memories.

So yeah, hearing it live with that cast was very special

I kinda liked the way they changed the moment of Rudolf’s death, although I’m not sure what were the reasons behind it? Anyway, I was really feeling the coffin in the carriage thing

Pia!Elisabeth hugging the coffin was not okay in the slightest, and neither was I after that

SCHEPEN IN DE NACHT, another important song!!! Why is Pia so good, why is this musical so sad, who allowed it

And why does she look so good in those mourning dresses

When Stanley sang the second line of De sluier valt Pia made a Sound of relief and I felt a sudden urge to climb in the aforementioned coffin and d*e

THE CURTAIN CALL 😩😩😩 

What have we all done to deserve Elisabeth in Concert :’‘‘‘‘‘‘)
