Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race season 18, episode 16

Time for the finale!

  1. DD's look is so lovely and soft and I feel like it is showing a new angle on her drag (from what we saw on the season)
  2. Mandy's hair piece and makeup are STUNNING, but hte dress isn't my favorite
  3. Briar looks incredible
  4. Ciara as a bird is regal and mesmerizing (I kind of wish she hadn't taken off her wings)
  5. Vita is a jewel (both in the literal and figurative sense)
  6. Mia is gorgeous--without a doubt, but the wig and dress don't mesh as well as I'd like
  7. Athena looks good (but I kinda hate that they only made Greek references for her description)
  8. Kenya has won this runway for me
  9. Discord's look is one I'd like to see up close because I see SO many cool details
  10. Jane looks fabulous and is making a Silence of the Lambs reference (I believe), but the skirt didn't quite fit with the rest for me
  11. Juicy looks awesome
  12. Darlene's look is as kooky as I'd expect (in a good way!)
  13. Myki's look is wild (in a good way) and I just want to keep staring at it
  14. I love Nini's hair and the upper part of her dress, but, like with other queens, I feel like the skirt isn't meshing in the way I want it to
  15. Ru is just so beautiful
  16. I do love the joy that is Darlene (and I'm so glad that she has not only found that joy for herself, but has enough to share)
  17. I loved Darlene's "Cooking with Gas"--literally the only thing I would've changed is for her to be wearing her iconic shoes in the number
  18. Aw I'm so glad that Darlene is in a good place
  19. I'm so glad we get to hear Myki's voice again and I'm loving all the jokes
  20. Not that there's anything wrong with this, but Myki's speech felt quite rehearsed 
  21. Aw Myki's parents look so proud
  22. So Nini is definitely an INCREDIBLE dancer, but I'm just not connecting with this performance as much (that doesn't mean it isn't incredibly impressive though!)
  23. Aw I am so glad that Nini has made friends with the other queens of the season
  24. Nini's boyfriend is hot
  25. "He's the wings to my anchor" really got me in the feels
  26. So I do really enjoy Miley Cyrus, but I just feel like she's young to achieve any kind of "lifetime" achievement award (even if it's a more lighthearted one)
  27. Omg I love this history lesson (if it's unclear, I mean that genuinely)
  28. I'm glad Jane won SOMETHING
  29. Also, glad that all queens get at least a token of monetary appreciation
  30. I'm so happy to see Onya again! She is one of my favorites
  31. I'm delighted to know that Onya's dad is semi-famous now
  32. I would've picked Myki and Darlene to be the top, but I'm also super biased
  33. Okay, Nini lip syncing with her purse is pretty funny--that said, I'm super #TeamMyki
  34. That was a pretty awesome lip sync (and Ru clearly agrees because she's laughing in delight)
  35. I am so happy for Myki!

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
