Just rewatched all ten episodes of Queen America on a Friday afternoon/evening instead of doing... literally anything else. I am clearly a fully-functioning adult who is not obsessed with middle-aged actresses to an unhealthy degree.

In my defense, I think this show is/was genuinely CZJ's best work since Chicago.

The Selection Oneshot- Dancing in the rain

Lila was on her way to bring tea to the women’s room as she saw King Maxon running there. She tried to keep the tray she was holding balanced as the king ran pass her and she tripped.

The king apologized to Lila, and after two seconds he continued running to the women’s room- where he knew his wife will be.

Maxon stopped by the door, trying to regulate his breathe as fast as possible.

The officer by the door was Aspen, of course, who tried not to laugh at the rushing king.

“Can I get in?” Maxon asked as he breathed regularly again.

“Wait, I need to ask” Aspen said with a smile on his face, trying not to laugh. As Lila came, he grabbed her shoulder. “Can you ask the Queen if the King can come in?” He asked her, and Lila nodded.

Lila came in and served the tea to America and her friends, and just before she left she remembered Aspen’s request. “My Queen, can the King come in?” Lila whispered in her ear.

America giggled at the request. She still found the way men can come in the women’s room funny. “Yes, he can” she told Lila with a smile on her face.

Only a minute later, Maxon broke in to the women’s room and went stright to America, with a smile smeared across his face and shiny eyes. “Would you come with me, my dear? It’s raining”

America’s face suddenly had a similar look to the one on her husband’s face. She grabbed his hand and ran with him along the halls.

They reached the roof, and America leaned backwards and laughed as Maxon wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close. She straightened up as the laugh faded on her lips, putting her hand on Maxon’s shoulder as he took her hand in his.

They started dancing to the sound of the rain around them. They got wet to the bone, of course, and they were probably going to be sick, but they couldn’t care less. It was raining and they were together, dancing on the roof, kissing and laughing.

Maxon turned America around, then pulled her back to him and kissed her. Ugh, the kisses. Since their wedding they were kissing as if every kiss can be their last one. But anyways, back to the story.

America smiled into the kiss and broke it with a giggle. She looked into Maxon’s eyes, the same chocolate-brown eyes she dived into so many times; and he looked into America’s eyes, the same ice-blue eyes he was amazed by so many times, and saw as a cool contrast to her hair.

America’s smile faded slowly, and she leaned her head on his shoulder. Maxon followed her lead and leaned his forhead on her shoulder, taking in her scent and the wormth of her wet skin. They kept moving in circles like that for long minutes, until Marlee, Lucy and Brice came out and took some pictures of them. (Marlee and Lucy took the pictures, Brice just came to call Maxon back to his office)

“I think we should go now” Maxon whispered in America’s ear when he strightened up.

America shook her head on his shoulder. This was one of the moments she wanted to last forever.

“If you let me go now we’ll have more time later” Maxon said quietly.

America took her head up from his shoulder. “I’ll let you go if you carry me back in” she said with a little challenge in her eyes. They were standing there for a few minutes looking into each other’s eyes, trying to see who gives up first.

“Deal” Maxon said eventually. America had a satisfied smile on her face as Maxon lifted her to his arms, just like he did after Anne sewed her gunshot wound back then.

Maxon let her down as he reached the women’s room, smiling. “Thank you for this pleasure, my dear. I’ll see you soon”

America laughed at his formal tone and pulled him down from the collar of his shirt to kiss him. They stayed like this until Aspen cleared his throat, reminding them they had other things to do.

America smiled as she came back to the women’s room, and Maxon smiled as he headed back to his office.

Rainey days were special for them, and they won’t stop the tradition of going up to the roof and dance there when it’s raining.

"We are calling for court support on September 19 at 8:30am, in Fort Worth, Texas, in order to support drag defenders fighting a civil suit from fascist group New Columbia Movement. The courthouse is located at 100 N. Calhoun Street, Fort Worth, TX, and the hearing will be in the 4th floor courtroom for the 48th District Court

Once the courtroom fills up, we are also inviting people to stand outside the courthouse with signs and banners showing their support.

More details to come soon, but the tl;dr is that everyone should cover identifying markings as a standard anti-doxxing precaution, and should remember that the goal of this particular action is not disruption, we are here to stand in solidarity with drag defenders facing legal persecution and show them they're not alone"

This year, there seems to be

an abundance of Cardinals in my yard, something that I am not complaining about at all! From afar they all kind of look alike but up close, their individuality becomes more obvious. I believe these are all different birds. So similar but also so different.

Has anyone else seen Catherine Zeta-Jones in Queen America? I stayed up till 3am watching it even though I had to be up for work at 6am.

Do I regret it? No I do not. I fucking loved that show, even though I never would’ve expected to be so invested in an aging beauty queen and her young protégée.

Watching Vicki Ellis, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, make bad decision after bad decision after getting dealt numerous emotional blows was like watching a car crash; I couldn’t look away. I was shocked by how clear her motivations were, and how authentic each of her spirals felt, especially when she would alternate between coping with her unwanted feelings by binging and purging, or coping by having sex, either with the “good” boyfriend or her toxic ex, depending on who was available.

My heart was in my throat practically the whole series, because if there’s one thing Zeta-Jones plays devastatingly well, it’s desperation. So many of the scenes reminded me of Velma Kelly in Chicago, because the pressure and the stakes were incredibly high, and there was this sense about her that at any moment she might snap, and when she snapped, she’d set fire to the world just to watch it burn as she did. If she was going to fall, she was going to bring everyone down with her.

When Vicki is trying to antagonize her ex into a fight, I needed to watch the scene through my fingers. There’s such a horrifically raw feeling to it; Vicki needs it to hurt, needs to punish herself so desperately that she will intentionally trigger a violent fight just to feel something. And when her ex for once doesn’t want to continue their toxic cycle, she looks like she could unravel at any moment from that rejection, even as she professes that she “doesn’t care enough to hate him.”

All I can say is that it was so fucking good. The writing was surprisingly sharp, and they didn’t pull any punches in terms of where they were willing to go to tell the story. Bulimia, alcoholism, Trichotillomania, sex work, self-harm, sexual assault… all of it was on the table. Vicki’s bulimia going further back than her pageant days had such a heartbreaking origin, and it all felt so…right? Like this person felt real to me. I didn’t feel like I was watching a bunch of stereotypes on the screen go through a ruthless competition storyline that we’ve all seen before; I felt like I was watching a real-life, deeply flawed woman crash and burn, but she felt like a friend, and not a stranger.

I felt like I knew “Vicki.” And maybe that says a hell of a lot about who I am as a person, and maybe I shouldn’t admit to knowing her, but I do.

God. It was so fucking good.
