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!

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
