Katlysska Soulmates, Part 1 (Alaska x Alyssa x Katya) - Melyssa

By: @dragroyaltyalyssaedwards

The entire drag community sparked into a bonfire of shock and excitement when the news came out- Katya and Alaska were soulmates.

Alyssa resisted the urge to throw her phone across the room as she pressed a heart on the instagram post the new couple had posted. It was a picture of them in Alaska's home, smiling brightly in each other's arms as they showed their tattoos - the shape of a lipstick stain almost the size of a fist pressed against their skin.

One was Katya's shoulder blade

One was on Alaska's hip

...and one was one Alyssa's chest

If Alyssa had known she would regret making the decision to keep her mark a secret, she would’ve pulled Alaska into a kiss all those years ago.

“Girl look at this”

She didn’t see it at first, pointedly looking away as Alaska began swinging her junk in circular motions. The entire room was dissolved into loud yells and laughter as the younger queen finally pulled on some underwear.

“I don’t know if I’m horrified or aroused” Alyssa snorted at Roxxy’s comment.

Alaska laughed at her “Careful bitch, I already have a bitch waiting for me at home”.

Alaska and Sharon’s relationship have been a talk of the gods for a long time now, only peaking in interest when Alaska got in the season after Sharon won Season 4. Naturally the queens began poking around. Has there been any difficulties in their relationship ever since Sharon won? Was Alaska ever jealous? Who was the top? And all that nonsense.

Alyssa was carefully packing up her wig when someone asked the question.

“Does Sharon have that mark too?”

Alyssa popped her head up for a look as well, curious as to what Alaska’s mark was. A sharp breath of shock escaped her as her eyes zeroed in on the lipstick stain over Alaska’s left hip.

“Are you okay?” Vivienne asked beside her, looking at the frozen queen.

Alyssa couldn’t answer as millions of emotions flooded over her. Her hand immediately went to her chest where her own mark resided- which she knew was the splitting image of Alaska’s purple mark. She had hidden it under layers of make-up for her outfit today, but Alyssa couldn’t figure out if she was thankful for that or not.

“Well I-” Alyssa stammered as she continued to stare at Alaska, heart thumping and head spinning as she processed the situation.

She had finally found her soulmate!

After decades of waiting, praying and doubting that she might never find her soulmate, the universe had given Alyssa this eccentric, attractive male as her other half.

There was a happiness welling inside her heart as Alyssa felt the connection of a bond towards Alaska. However, just as she was going to take a step towards the other queen, her heart shattered.

“He’s markless, but I love him either way.” Alaska said with the sweetest and most fond expression that felt like knives against Alyssa’s heart.

She takes back what she said…the universe is a bitch.

“Aren’t you worried about your soulmate though?” Detox asked from her station.

Alyssa remained frozen as she stared at Alaska for her answer. The younger male still hadn’t put on a shirt, her mark out for display as she responded, “If they really loved me they would let me be with the one I want to be with and not force me to be with them just because of some mark.”

That killed Alyssa.

Multiple low whistles and chuckles echoed around the room. “Damn Thunderfuck” “Yes Girl!”

Vivienne was still staring at her as Alyssa pushed herself from the table. Whether she knew or not, Alyssa didn’t know since she remained silent as Alyssa pulled her bag towards her corner.

The room delved into separate chatters as they moved on from the topic. Alaska was right beside her as she finally found a shirt to put on. Alyssa forced herself not to stare at the purple mark that only served as a painful reminder for all she couldn’t have.

“You’re markless too aren’t you?”

Alyssa’s head whipped sharply towards the yonder queen. Catching her shocked stare, Alaska backpedalled.

“I- I mean you don’t seem to have a mark on you so I figured…”

Alyssa popped her tongue as she considered what she should say. What should she say? ‘Oh I have one, it just looks like yours I’m sorry’, ‘Of course I do but life seems to hate me somehow’

Alaska’s earlier words haunted Alyssa in the back of her mind.

‘If they really loved me they would let me be with the one I want to be with and not force me to be with them just because of some mark.’

Alyssa smiled sadly as she nodded her head. Alaska levelled her with a pitying smile and a comforting hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t worry, you’ll find someone at one point” then left.

Her shoulder burned from where Alaska had touched it. Thinking about how beautiful the queen was bare-faced and up close, Alyssa knew that Alaska was wrong.

Alyssa already found her.

Reviews 375: Katherine de Rosset

Katherine de Rosset’s music is born of experiences of profound change, and of the courage it takes to dive into the unknown in search of self-actualization. As explained on her Bandcamp page, the artist moved from Portland to LA, only to have her living situation fall apart almost immediately. Against the tides of uncertainty, de Rosset turned to the guidance of tarot and the art of meditation–while also focusing more deeply on her musical work–and in a moment of inspiration, decided to move to Austin, TX…a place where the healing process could fully complete its cycle. Indeed, within the arms of this strange haven, de Rosset reconnected with the natural world and found solace in the ever-changing flow of energy that comprises existence, and as her soul flourished, so did her music, a result of which is The Tower. Self-released by de Rosset, the album is a mystifying musical adventure that simultaneously explores exotic landscapes of magical fantasy, and the vast zones of the inner self. And while listening, there is a sense that The Tower is meant not just as an artistic rendering of de Rosset’s own experiences of love, restoration, and growth, but also as a guide for others…as a set of sonic and poetic rituals which are intended to help the spirit shed that which is no longer needed, in order to create a “sacred ground for the journey of coming home to oneself.”

These themes of metamorphosis of the self, of the magical forces of nature, and of the “joy of impermanence” are all threaded into de Rosset’s lyrics throughout The Tower, and her vocals inhabit zones similar to those of White Poppy and Grouper in their alchemical merging of dream pop and acid folk. At her most powerful and abstract, de Rosset even calls to mind an early Christina Carter, especially in moments where voices swell to an ecstatic howl amidst layers of ghostly drone. As for the underlying instrumentation, almost everything is sourced from sparse rhythms and spiritual keyboard playing, which often aligns in vibe, if not totally in sound, with the work of Beverly Glenn-Copeland, as well as with more recent sign posts like Nailah Hunter and Katya Yonder. Diving deeper still, de Rosset concocts a bewitching sonic world wherein brushed and hushed jazz drums anchor fluttering strings and warming brass pads while baroque vocal incantations intersperse with spells of springtide romance. Toms pound in triumph beneath poetic affirmations and shades of shoegaze diva bliss, crystalline lutes and gemstone harpsichords play a sort of medieval folk psychedelia, submarine basslines waltz through fairytale forests, and reed organs from outerspace work through passages of funereal minimalism…all while beatific breaths of reverb and delay caress every single sound. 

Katherine de Rosset - The Tower (Self Released, 2021) “Flowing Into Joy” introduces starlight drones and a machine drum shuffle overlaid by ecclesiastical keyboard magic. de Rosset sings softly while dancing gemstones move in counterpoint…the whole thing awash in a joyous energy, and evoking visages of satyrs and nymphs dancing around maypoles. Washed out keys and ethereal vocal hazes coalesce as de Rosset’s lyricisms dash romantically across the mix, with everything building towards a climactic chorus. Then, as the track reduces to plucked harp tones and squarewave synth sparkles, de Rosset locks into a mantric lullaby repetition of “Here I am / I want to show you”…like the voice of a mysterious spirit guiding the soul towards realms of joy. “The Star” follows with harpsichords and crystalline tones waltzing through a dew-soaked forest clearing, while splashes of metal shimmer in the distance. de Rosset swoons overhead, her voice subtly double tracked to add further hints of baroque folk mysticism, and her vocal poetics weaving together autobiography, spiritual guidance, and affirmations concerning the presence of a divine light within us all. Cascades of vibrating glass descend as jazz pop drums hold a skeletal structure, with rides tapping and snares smacking through a stereo field overflowing with panning drones and galactic swells of spectral harmony. “In the World and Yet Above” sees polysynthetic keys moving through baths of reverb and angelic voices guiding a splattered kick drum as it slowly structures into a beat. Radiant psych folk melodies are sourced from futuristic electronics, cymbal shadows move in the background, and ebowed guitars sing dolphin songs until everything seems to disperse, only for multi-tracked vocal mirages to emerge amidst feathery pad accents…as if strands of nacreous cotton are stretching out and surrounding de Rosset’s voice. The bass drum slowly builds back and tapped triangles give off sparkles of gold glitter while tom toms roll and hi-hats tick beneath layers of smoke–and over it all, a glorious call and response emerges between de Rosset’s singing and new age synthesizer themes colored in hues of silvery starlight.

A bongo-led downbeat anchors “Do You See What I Am?” and funereal organs call out amidst layers of shadowy haze as de Rosset’s voice lets loose darkly enchanting spells of reassurance, and of recognition of the light within the soul. The rest of the track builds around the singing, with billowing pads climbing ladders of starlight and whooshes of oceanic atmosphere moving all around. The drums work into a barely-there pulse, mysterious whispers pan back and forth, and the song’s structure holds together while ever-threatening to vaporize…all as bewitching vocals affirm the magic of the inner self, with de Rosset’s voice staying low before rushing towards an exploding sky, supported by bashing toms and slow cyclical synth arps. In “Her Body Made of Stars,” minimalist organ patterns are repurposed for an esoteric elegy, and gothic prog rock keyboards are overlaid by beating bongos and witchy vocalizations. de Rosset’s voice is close–yet hard to grasp–as it flits around the mix, and her breathy coos transition at times towards feathery falsetto. There is a touch of downer flower folk to the poetic phrases and mysterious melodies, and at some point, de Rosset sings: “there is magic in your blood / hear our breath as we are one / feel the magic in your blood / do you know how strong we are?”. Strummed zithers move over the doom-inflected jazz rhythms and as sonars ping and crystals glimmer, the minimalist keyboard patterns wash out completely, leaving behind an ocean of voice to float the spirit. Multiple layers circulate in round and reverb and delay patterns create counterpoint movements while synthesizers float through the stereo field, and as swells of solar brass seek the sky, they portend hope of a radiant dawn.

Side B begins with “The Eclipse” and its hopeful chord patterns and dancing pixie melodies. Wheezing organs sit above a sparse jazz beat and de Rosset sings through it all, weaving cosmic allegories and explorations of inner space that pull my mind to Will Cullen Hart and Circulatory System. Drums devolve to tapped cymbals as pads play majestic themes for fantasy kingdoms, with voice washing back and forth as it repeats “I’ll be there in your heart.” When the infectious jazz beats return, synths blur into clouds of cold comfort, while new age woodwinds sing ethereal songs through star oceans. Airy fills and pounding toms intersperse the rhythms and at some point, lyrics are abandoned as de Rosset drifts off into pure wordless wonderment…all while hopeful keyboard melodies ascend in support. The heart overflows with feelings of spiritual affirmation while the mind gazes upon scenes of impossible beauty, and as the track progresses, evocations of Beverly Glenn-Copeland begin shining through with pronounced strength. “91818” comes to life on reed organ drones and thunderclaps, while ghostly voices and bowed metals evoke early Charalambides. Pulses of smoldering static pan across the spectrum and a mesmerizing dreamscape emerges from bodies of orchestral murk, with blurred melodies dancing across the length of the keyboard, heavenly chord fogs hovering in place, and de Rosset whispering up above, her voice sweeping and reversing through arcs of resonant beauty. Sighing strings flutter in and out of view and seafloor crystals sparkle–though their glimmer is barely discernible through layers of washing water–and during one of de Rosset’s wondrous call and respond sections, a voice asks “Is this what you wanted for us?,” and in reply, another whipsers “I know I am ready,” Dazzling melodies slowly rise then recede before fully resolving and eventually, the song blurs into whooshing waves of darkened ambiance. Then comes multi-tracked fantasy dance supported by quivering staccato choirs and time-lag echo accumulations…as if Terry Riley had composed a baroque-tinged new age incantation.

Church organs pulse in “Sacred” as de Rosset floats overhead, with sparse tom hits panning side to side and sparkling seascape melodies meeting wavefronts of cosmic atmosphere. Plucked tones of tropical warmth bring a balearic touch while coral colorations swirl around the stereo field, and as we back down into a horizontal paradise–one replete with mermaid pads and idiophones made of seafloor crystal–de Rosset asks “what if my love is your love / is the truth then discovered?” only to answer, “no, not in words you can speak of / but in her radiant darkness.” The drums reduce to a brushed whisper against an ecstatic run of vocal poetics, and dreamy island melodies mix with new age diamond clusters. Toms beat anthemically as de Rosset moves into repetitions of “what you want will be yours now” and eventually, everything fades into a cloud of lullaby melodics and hopeful hazes. Droning reed organs return in closing track “Resonate”…the sound like an electrified harmonium wheezing from the center of the cosmos...before the vibe turns towards dream folk bewitchment. Treble tones pierce the mind, organs seek the sky, and billowing voices thread around the heart while sleepy-eyed serenades radiate dark sunset hues. A rush of celestial sound brings in multi-tracked whispers that cascade over themselves, with webs of lyrical wonderment threading together and resulting in an entrancing passage of dueling vocal flows…like a round, but not quite…wherein heavenly voices sing certain phrases in one ear, while a whispered falsetto speaks in the other. Joyous clouds of ambiance swell in support and radiant sunbeams refract as de Rosset says “I’ll follow deeper still,” and during a gorgeous coda, cloudform vortices and hymn-like keyboard patterns surround plucked strings while the body walks through a forest of restorative light…a place where waves of springtide soul energy transform existence into a paradise of everlasting optimism.
