- Things in Ride The Cyclone I think about on the daily (SPOILERS!!!)

1. Jane’s head not being visible during the starting number “Karnak’s Dream of Life”

2. In “Fall Fair Suite” when everyone is looking down at Uranium City (from a place Im guessing is limbo) all of them smile or show some kind of joy or nostalgic feeling of sorts, all of them except for Mischa, since he didn’t grow up in Uranium City nor sees it the same way the rest of the choir see it

3. Jane’s Singing during “Fall Fair Suite”

4. Ocean confessing her discomfort before riding the cyclone, feeling rather unsafe (basically the fact she predicted her own doom)

5. The Choir’s catchphrases sort of predicting per say the member’s character development (Ex. Mischa’s catchphrase revealing his soft nature and vulnerability, Ocean’s catchphrase starting as a joke and ending up as her real perspective on things) or reveal something from their past life (Ex. Jane’s catchphrase being an animal fact either predicting she would become Penny or that she used to be Penny *reference to Legoland*)

6. Noel’s Catchphrase (it lives rent free in my head)

7. Jane trying unsuccessfully to get a hug from Ocean

8. Noel’s shadow being more feminine than himself in “Noel’s Lament” representing the version of himself he wished to be

9. The positioning of each member of the choir in each song representing their relationship to the one singing at the moment (Ex. Ocean being shafted and staying in the same pose in the back for the whole of “Noel’s Lament” as well as the major roles both Mischa and Ricky got in that same song)

10. Noel (Or Monique) playing with Ocean’s hair

11. Jane walking normally in "Noel's Lament" (it cracks me up srry)

12. Constance laughing at Mischa’s sarcastic responses to Ocean

13. The fact that Mischa mixed up the plots of Saw 5 and Saw 6 (the plot he describes is the one from Saw 6, not Saw 5 if im not mistaken)

14. Ocean’s song after “Noel’s Lament” (im just putting this one here cause it reminded me of my parents *especially my mom* asking me about the “morals” or if such was educational for pretty much everything *Videogames, Shows, etc*)

15. The fact that no one really knew Ricky for who he really was so they just went with the “Disabled=Literal Child that doesn’t know anything about the world” Therefore shocking the choir (Especially Ocean) when he says something “””perverted”””

16. On the same note, Ricky’s little speech about Porno and how taboo it became to talk about something completely natural and how demonized it is in our Society as a whole (very deep, magical indeed)

17. In some productions (or maybe just one idk), Mischa’s line about not being homophobic mentions the fact he’s watched all seasons of Rupaul’s Drag Race

18. Constance playing the Role of Mischa’s mother (which made me create the headcanon that Constance in some way reminds Mischa of his Mother)

19. I haven’t mentioned it yet but I like that every member has a little moment to talk before their song (except for Jane if I remember correctly)

20. Mischa having two songs (he deserves it tbh)

21. Jane discovering the existence of sunglasses

22. “I lay my masculinity on the altar of your maidenhood”

23. The beatdrop at the end of “Talia” representing Mischa’s rage at the fact he could never meet Talia and will never be able to talk to her again

24. On the same Note, (if Talia is even real in the first place) it’s possible Talia will never really know Mischa died

25. Ocean distorting what Noel was trying to say originally when Mischa was given the opportunity to see what could’ve happened if he met Talia

26. Karnak speeding up Ocean’s rambling

27. On the same note (i’ve used that phrase three times holy crap) Karnak messing with Ocean the whole show

28. The whole of Space Age Bachelor Man

29. "Oh my goodness what have I gotten myself into?"

30. "There's only one rule in the Space Age Bachelor Man Bible, Don't be a dick"

31. "We listen to you now Space Jesus"

32. The whole of "The Ballad of Jane Doe"

33. The shadow behind Jane having the form of wings

34. The New birthday song

35. The duo interactions after/During Jane's made up birthday

36. Constance's speech before "Sugar Cloud" (Jawbreaker) *that shit made me cry I relate to Constance so bad omg*

37. Ocean's Final Vote

38. The expressions of each member at the end showing fear and being unsure to cross to the other side, then showing acceptance and somewhat joy at the fact they will finally rest in peace

39. The Musical ends the same way it starts (Jane singing her part from "Karnak's Dream of Life" The rest of the choir going back to their positions when they rode the cyclone inicially)

40. That existencial dread that you get once you finish the show. Damn

Wow this was long and totally did not take like 3 days to put together but I had to get it out of the way

drop the review babes

how would george russell fare on drag race? - a review by ame ruszhou

firstly this is a joke. george, by virtue of being a, presumably, cishet white f1 driver, is 100% going to be horrible on drag race. although if he knew how to paint (put makeup on) his face would be perfect for drag race. have you SEEN those eyelashes?

secondly, drag race is composed of many aspects outside of runways and lipsyncs. for those who don't watch drag race, drag race has a maxi challenge (main challenge), sometimes a mini challenge (it does not add to your final judgment that episode), and a runway. in the american drag race, they tend to focus on how you did in the maxi challenge, with runways as a padded bonus. if you did bad on the runway but good in the challenge, they tend to just Forget the fact your runway was bad. in some instances though, the runway helped people get out of the bottom positions, or, unfortunately, has barred people from winning an episode.

(the rest under the cut!)

lipsyncs, on the other hand, mostly happen when you are on the bottom two. other instances, although saved for special episodes and finales, are for lipsyncing for a win/the crown. as much as this comprises drag race's popularity, MANY drag race winners have never lipsynced for their lives (ie. both sashas, bianca, violet, aquaria & willow), or have only done it one or twice (bar the special episodes, of course). so, just because you're a good lipsyncer doesn't mean you're the best in drag race. arguably, many "lipsync assassins" lost drag race, because that means they've been on the bottom multiple times.

so, how do you know if you're good in drag race?

it kind of fizzles down to two things: 1.) track record, meaning how much you win or you've been on a high placement, and 2.) storyline and likeability. the second point seems redundant, but many drag race winners, despite having the worst track record of the season, has won due to this criterion.

before we get into the nitty gritty of the challenges, a funny criteria rupaul also likes to judge the contestants by is by CUNT— charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. it's not actually serious, but we can judge george by this, just because we can.

charisma - 7/10

i feel like george can be charismatic when he wants to be. if the competition asks for it, he can do anything. at the least, george wouldn't be a contestant who fades into the background. many people on drag race who don't have much of a presence usually gets eliminated early on unless something begins to change (lady camden comes to mind). i think george wouldn't have that fate, at least, by his extraversion alone.

uniqueness - 3/10

maybe even lower. quite frankly, george is. the whitest man i've ever seen. his fashion sense, music interests, etc. are very basic, and while it's okay to be basic, drag race always pushes queens to have more variety. show the same look thrice and michelle (a judge) would call you out for it. moreover, videos from the f1 channel or williams has shown george has pretty mediocre design choices in artistic challenges so, there's that.

nerve - 9/10

despite being good at pr, george is also the same person, at 12, who threatened another driver he'd drive into them in the next lap, so yeah! i think george is very honest with what he feels, to mercedes and as a gpda director, so i don't think he'd be coming to this shy. he has terrified checo perez enough to not have that "nerve" aspect. in this case, george could be very good at untucked— the additional show to drag race showing the cast behind the scenes before the lipsync. if i could compare him to other queens, i'd imagine someone like tatianna on s2, alaska on as2, awhora on uks2, or jasmine on s14.

talent - ???/10

in a drag race sense, i don't know what george is good at tbh? obviously this comes from the fact that he is. an f1 driver. but who knows. drag race tends to push a lot out of their contestants and i won't be surprised if george comes out as a dancer or a designer. i don't even know what he'd do on the talent show besides, i don't know, race? play football?

okay, now that's out of the way, we can get to the challenges. to me, i feel like george has the personality and competitive drive needed for drag race, and if you challenge him to do something, he'd do it Well. so while he may not have any experience in sewing or dancing or whatever, if he was casted on drag race for some odd reason, he'd 100% prepare before he gets there.

anyway, challenge time! there are multiple challenges on drag race outside of lipsycning and runways. if i don't put all of them then that's not my fault. there is a lot of challenges LOL.

talent show - 2/10

in the recent seasons, these are usually the first challenges to introduce the contestants properly. i'll be frank, again, i do not know what george is gonna show. i am inclined to believe he gets eliminated in this episode. ALTHOUGH, talent shows doesn't always mean you gotta do something extravagant— contestants like willow, jimbo, and tatianna have shown that, sometimes you just gotta do something entertaining. by principle of george's competitiveness, he could possibly find a way, but i have low hopes.

design challenge - 4/10

these are challenges where you're asked to create outfits out of fabrics or unconventional materials, usually the latter. i'm less worried about the production since hot glue does its magic, but again, george has. poor artistic inclinations.

another kind of design challenge, usually called the makeover challenge, is when you are tasked with making someone over. i genuinely want some f1 drivers to be on the show one day as those being made over, but if we're talking about george making someone over? i can… see it. somewhat. same sentiments as the previous paragraph, but if george knew how to put on makeup, he'd KILL. he genuinely has the perfect sculpted face for drag. i have had this picture since last year and i feel like you should look at this:

YOU SEE MY VISION RIGHT. YOU SEE IT.

acting challenges - 3/10

have you. have you seen him act for skits and commercials. even for comedic ones he cannot act normal. again, george's competitiveness blah blah blah, but i genuinely fear for his life in acting challenges. although, if the acting challenge were improv, then i think george has a better chance of winning? i think george is generally very humorous, and if he was asked to improv rather than act, it would be much butter— although, not perfect, of course.

snatch game - 4/10

i don't even think he'd do well in snatch game either. if you don't know snatch game, it's a parody of match game, and the contestants have to pretend to be celebrities and provide answers to questions rupaul gives. the challenge is less of perfect impersonation, and more of a comedy challenge. i feel like george has no frame of reference of what he can possibly do, but i feel like, again, he'd be better with improv. moreover, snatch game is something you expect and prepare for per season, so i think george can pull something together if asked.

musical challenge - 6/10

it depends which type. if he is asked to sing it, we are doomed. if it's just a lipsync, i can see it work! he gives me marcia energy from s15, maybe a bit of jan from s12 or courtney from s6. i think george would be more expressive when it comes to lipsyncs because there's more preparation, and he doesn't have to speak.

roasts - 10/10

GEORGE WOULD KILL. GEORGE WOULD KILLLLLL. if you don't know what roasts are, like the name suggests, roasts ask you to just. insult someone comedically. have you SEEN his comments towards the fia? because yeah, he would kill. he would 100% win this challenge. hell, he'd tour on the hater's roast after drag race.

girl group challenge - 5/10

i have. no clue how this would go. on one hand he is not creative, on the other hand, if he can roast well, i feel like he can make a detox-like verse. put him on read u wrote u. i will lean more towards, he probably can. i know george isn't a dancer and is literally a white man, but i feel like, if he genuinely tried, he could? maybe it's the athleticism of it. he reminds me of someone like brooke from s11 or lemon from cans1.

lipsync/choreo challenge - 6/10

again, athleticism— by virtue of athleticism, i can see george be able to pull out some stunts. i'm telling you, george's stubbornness will get him places. i feel like he'd also emote better when lipsyncing, because he doesn't have to focus on making his voice sound believable.

okay that's it. tldr; george will do bad in most challenges bar roasts, but by virtue of george's stubbornness and competitiveness, if he were actually cast on drag race, he'd do REALLY well. don't underestimate what competitiveness does to a person, especially since george is very determined/goal-oriented.

edit: i forgot storyline! besides the challenges, storyline helps audiences enjoy contestants despite not being good at drag race. if george comes in drag race cocky and overprepared, i can see him as someone like ginger from s7 or loosey from s15 where, while somewhat good at drag race, got audiences hating them for being Too Good. these people tend to lose drag race aince they're just Untouchable and Unrelatable, but a way i can see george be well-liked is when he has an arc like trinity from s9, where she starts of pageant-like, then realizes she likes acting dumb and being more relaxed. personalities like george's, though, usually end up being the "safe girl", cursed to be eliminated before the finale with barely or nary a win. and if they get to the finale, they're usually not the favorite. but, he could be someone like jaida from s12 who's pageant-like and silly, while also win!

to be fair one needs a very high iq to understand the avant garde nature of rupauls drag race season 10 episode 9 breastworld

#listen......................#you can't say it wasn't better than the squid game parody on uk4 or whatever it was #or honey i shrunk the drag queens #it's actually better than a lot of acting challenges #but that's just my correct opinion as a huge breastworld apologist #and a huge dyslexa stan #i get why people hate season 10 it's because aquaria didn't win the breastworld challenge isn't it
