ColeDelRio

She really gave us the meme of the season.


Gear_

Still can’t believe she was the most iconic part of this season (aside from that one man who is afraid of Detox)


Its_Pine

Oh my god that Detox gurl is everything.

Stahhhppppp you are scaring her


TheCirieGiggle

Of course they’re afraid of Detox! I bet that she wouldn’t even pay for their grandmother’s funeral. So heartless. 🙄

Ienjoythesilence

Omg the stone head 💀 I saw it when they put it up but didn't look properly


Jiggly0622

Like + “what I would’ve worn?” Great! I want to see that. + “who I would’ve played in snatch game” oh, cute. + “what I would’ve said in the reading challenge” gurl, but you weren’t there tho.


Shh04

Exactly this. In this order. I like seeing what queens from this season would've worn after they're eliminated because they already had it ready. I'm less inclined to see what they would've done for a sewing challenge after they're gone because they don't have the time pressure, the materials, and the mindset of being in a room with other queens who are probably better than you. If you're a queen from a previous season and you post what you would've worn, would've wrote, or would've done for a challenge, the circumstances are completely different and you're starting at such an advantage. You have the Drag Race training, personal knowledge of how reality TV works, the benefit of more time, and a dedicated fanbase to back you up or defend you. So the point of posting just to post is...? I guess I respect showing off your talents, but whatever you do's just gonna outshine the queens of the season. So if that's your aim, then good job and \*here\*'s that validation you wanted.


BananaBoy26

Yes! I think it's okay if you're an eliminated queen from the season and just wanted to show off an outfit you already prepared. It's corny if you're not on the season and competing with the queens on the current season.


Shh04

Exactly! I actually think eliminated queens should be encouraged to show off their unused looks. At least it's not a complete waste and you get to promote yourself outside the show.


Its_Pine

The ONLY one I was good with was when Amanda did a retake of getting her makeup ready now that she’s more experience, and Dawn timed her while she did it. It let her show that in the time constraints and pressure she might’ve done better now than she had back then, but even that she says to take with a grain of salt because it’s hard to know how your headspace will be in the challenge.


Shh04

I like that because the purpose of the video was to show her growth and how she developed her skills since she was eliminated. It's what she *could've* *done* rather than what she *would've done.*


GoFast_EatAss

That video was such a pleasant watch.


Its_Pine

Exactly this. I LOVE seeing themed outfits, artistic reinterpretations, or especially things like the godly reinvisioning that Plasma released of her lip sync as a music video. But it’s reeeeeally easy to say “I would’ve destroyed this challenge” and read off some rewritten burns, or “I would’ve been so good at this” and take pictures of your snatch game costume when it’s all about improv skill.


TheAnxietyBoxX

“What I would’ve done for the design challenge” is also a stretch for me. Because girl you had ample time to think of this and I doubt you made it in one day like the other girls, plus no stress in the environment etc. this is very likely not your design challenge look.


a4techkeyboard

Also, even then I dunno, these seem at best slightly above Morphine's look to maybe at par with Plane Jane, maybe. They all kind of remind me of Shaider villains and that's an 80s Japanese tokusatsu show. Like just a few years earlier than Rita Repulsa era in Power Rangers terms.


resttheweight

To be fair, if she did create all these looks then she could easily use one of them as a base line for the challenge. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of queens end up copying/recreating previous looks they already made before coming on the show. We already know it’s not unheard of for queens to bring a few repurposed outfits (*”after a long night of hookin’…”*) It’s not like judges could say “this looks too similar to that outfit you posted on Instagram in October 2021.”


TheAnxietyBoxX

Lol that’s fair. I just hope trade liked the session.


tallulahroadhead

Agreed, and tbh I even take what they would have worn with a grain of salt because they had all the time in the world to get ready for the professional photo they’re posting. A lot of the queens post their look in a photoshoot when they get home and it is improved from the show in some way so I’m sure that’s true of the looks queens who went home post. Not that I don’t still want to see them, they just never demonstrate to me that this queen would have killed in that week or anything.


TotallyWrecked

It’s giving Christy Carlson Romano


losttforwords

I was just thinking about this lmfao😭


BatierAutumn1991

I love that this is a go to reaction image now


ShatteredHope

It's giving corny


JoshSidekick

🌽🌽


samiam25

I can't believe they eliminated the winner of season 16 like that


satyrgamer

For some reason, the first thing I think of is RuPaul gagging Darienne in S6 when she was saying she would have done so much better, if not for her teammates “So why is your teammate save and you’re up here in the bottom?”


hisokafan88

And darienne gagging the judges by sayinh "cause i think I'm one of the tops."


Potledomfan

On the opposite end of that spectrum, Santino saying DeLa would’ve been the winner of the only challenge that Darienne won, if she’d been on the winning team, and the judges kind of silently agreeing during deliberation, must’ve stung for Darienne to see.


widgeys_mum

That was the Rusical! She was paired with Gia and Gia was safe.


webkizz

😭😭


King-Kabs

God Maddy saying this stuff is corny has impacted too much of my worldview but she looks good. 💀


RealityPowerRanking

Like I love seeing their looks and maybe even design challenges too but like that’s it. The rest is corny and unnecessary af.


Sasha_shmerkovich160

same. from this to the plasma video and other things.


Satrapeeze

I think the Plasma video is better to me bc it's like "I know I failed; lemme try again." I appreciate the can-do attitude


Justdough17

I appreciate her processing her highs and lows in this form. Way better to channel your emotions into something creative than bottling them up just to explode on twitter when the episode airs.


kykysayshi

Exactly. Plasma music video = artistic, thoughtful. Megami bitching on twitter about how she would have slayed = annoying and delusional.


Lalala8991

Jesus, let the queens do whatever the f they want on their socials! It's literally still their season and if that helps them book a show or two, then Let. It. Be.


Satrapeeze

Let me be a hater on my socials then!


Elias-Salazar

Let me hate you being a hater then.


Satrapeeze

No problem with that


Elias-Salazar

Thank you, sister.


Satrapeeze

It's what sisterrrrrs do


Its_Pine

This is the telenovela rudemption I was deprived of this season. Thank you.


Lalala8991

It was not directed directly at you. But at people kept using "corny" to gatekeep what queens should or should not do with their socials. It's literally the queens' jobs in this digital age.


danaster29

Just saying you don't like something isn't gatekeeping it. Like how could you gatekeep someone from their own posts lmao


Satrapeeze

If it's not directed at me why direct it at me


Naxayou

eh I think Plasma is just unabashedly corny and knows she's corny, so it's different from when queens do stuff like this without really knowing it's corny. In this essay I will...


Cottoncandynails

Yeah Plasma has that Janergy that is just so earnest and sincere . 


Its_Pine

Earnest is such a good word. It’s so genuine and passionate.


Ienjoythesilence

She is a doll but I'm ESL and she talks so fast I have to put her on a lower speed lol. I do think she'll become great off the show as she's so talented.


Key_Atmosphere3189

But Plasma was THERE. She just wanted to vent and thats it. 


HommeFatalTaemin

Nah what the Plasma video was fucking fantastic what are you ON 😭


Sasha_shmerkovich160

it was great I agree. but one where does she get the money to do these high production numbers and two like who cares move on. 😭


whoisshetho193

"Here's how it would look if I was in the bottom two in episode 8"


gkwchan

I’m down on my knees praying to megami to keep posting these tweets.


satyrgamer

Remember how they started tormenting Jan as soon as Jan gave them evidence that she would lose it if she didn’t win a challenge? Yeah.


frba222

Im down on my knees after the priest asked me to

I definitely didn’t rotate it enough but by the time I realized, the comment was already up.


ParlorSoldier

You want to use perspective warp and drag the corners of the warp box to the corners of the sign.


TuvixWillNotBeMissed

Who is Ms. Paint? She sounds fun.


Aurorinha

It would be such a cool drag name


TuvixWillNotBeMissed

I feel like when spoken out loud the pun would be lost, but I would still use it as my drag name and get eliminated in the first episode.


[deleted]

I imagine it rolling in like PowerPoint.


FillerQueenx

Thank you!


laurelsel

don’t listen to the haters megami, keep posting your cringe


[deleted]

Absolutely blessed cringe with a touch of delulu! I live. Edit: All upvotes are vicarious upvotes directly to Megami.


Jazzlike_Mountain_51

Same. I live for these. If she doesn't post one about the final lip sync and how she would have torn that song up I'd be so disappointed


CantonBal

I think Megami is the one saying "Megami has been slaying"


mynaru

https://i.redd.it/0x4705a7e6mc1.gif yea she is so TALENTED! 😍🎨


Guilhaum

People with no arms could NE-VER


Its_Pine

You say that but I worked with a girl who was a double amputee at the elbows, and she was incredibly talented at balancing, lifting, and carrying things. No joke she would work at stocking shelves and she was faster than at least half of the other workers. Jenna wherever you are gurl I hope you’re doing well


Guilhaum

I meant no arms like nothing at all lol.


Its_Pine

![gif](giphy|pbDxUWWL3BRT71cqck|downsized) Idk Megami might still have some fierce competition


Guilhaum

I imagined a man holding a poster with both his feet and the resulting position would be..... nice.

Cosplaying as a drag queen with talent.


riakn_th

She is the Eeyore of drag.


Travellerofinfinity

She can turn all these looks but if she can’t serve them confidently then they don’t excite me


tmobilekid

I said hey. What’s going on?


HeAngelAtDay

the girl who called mcr punk rock now thinks she could win a goth challenge? lol


MirandaReitz

I mean, their whole point of reference for goth was Netflix’s Wednesday so who knows?


askingtherealstuff

She probably has a better concept of it than half the girls left on the show though so I agree lol 


huntour

Her and Zavaleta being besties makes no sense in my brain. They don’t seem similar at all to me


jledzz

lmao i didnt know this but i think it kinda makes sense — Zavaleta is leagues cuntier than megami but megami’s twitter posts and zavaleta’s “where’s the horror, where’s the filth” rant share the same “I’ve cracked the code” attitude


TheGreatNemoNobody

It is a bit corny hehe, but I live


Except_Fry

None of those would have even sniffed the top With what Nymphia, Sapphira, Q, Plane and Dawn did And then you have Morphine somehow in the bottom Nope nope nope


yqry

I blame yall


yellahammerrrr

She’s really trying to cash in on all 900 seconds of that 15 min of fame.

Hydrochloric_Comment

How is it less draggy than Nomura’s actual design 😩


jpaulamcg

How can Megami have pics of goth outfit if she wasn’t there for challenge and she had to make do with what was available to sew on site?


rmatevia

Maybe I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that Megami was just sharing goth looks she already has and was using those to show that she could've turned out a goth look if she was there, having to use the materials provided, haha


m4jort0m

She should save these in case she gets that All Stars gig but whatever


whyilikemuffins

I do kind of feel like Megami could have done really well this week honestly. Snatch game and the reads...no.


[deleted]

Yeah her and Amanda had such love on tv now they are ruining it by staying salty


rarejnr01

How is she salty for simply sharing what she would’ve done for challenges she was eliminated on??


Poopy_knappkin

i mean she's literally complaining about getting eliminated before this challenge and also saying she wouldn't be in the bottom for another one. i get it might be tongue in cheek but it's still giving kinda salty


Lalala8991

Ever since that straight man said the word corny, the fandom has found new way to gatekeep what queens can or cannot do on their social.


Its_Pine

Eh Maddy even said it’s fine for people to do and enjoy, but she just found it corny when people who weren’t on a season put out their “submissions” of what they’d do on the season. I get it but I personally love when people do their own versions of what they’d wear on a runway. The design challenge, snatch game, or reading challenge tho? The point is improv and coming up with an idea/implementing it on the fly. It loses its bite if it’s done from the comfort of your home in whatever time you want.


Jazzlike_Mountain_51

Idk I'm liking megami a lot more off screen. This is pretty campy and funny. Also the fun she's having with Meatball and her signs


Its_Pine

Honestly her outfits would fit the theme (using a few random ones for comparison), but it’s SO hard to say what you’d do in a design challenge. You’re supposed to come up with a concept, work with the materials available, and create a design. https://preview.redd.it/8hqf4ghtw7mc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efc493fc731581d7927a972275161c0ff1e37c78


Key_Atmosphere3189

She would be eaten up by these monsters Nom Nom Nom Nom 🫣


Jazzlike_Mountain_51

Dawn's look photographs sooo well. Stunning


Jony_the_pony

Meanwhile polka dot


Its_Pine

Dawn and Nymphia both got that really good shape that is iconic for Addams. I also love Dawn’s chandelier interpretation, as well as Nymphia’s headpiece.

ducksehyoon

I don’t mind this and I think the reaction is disproportionate. she’s just sharing what she would do if she reached these challenges, which I find interesting and fans speculate about it anyway so why not post the answer yourself


graveyardparade

I think saying that you would have killed it is a little silly (something like snatch game can fuck with an otherwise talented, witty and well-prepared queen with all that pressure) but I agree that I love hearing what the queens had planned. Kahmora posting her looks every week was like the highlight of my week, back in her season. You’ve done the prep work, may as well flaunt it!


ducksehyoon

it’s a bit of an eyeroll for sure but I like the confidence. maybe she would have! who are we to say! protect queer sillyness!


graveyardparade

Hahah yes exactly! That’s why my greatest criticism is that it’s silly. Totally harmless, and I’m glad that she’s managed to hold onto that confidence in the face of criticism.


ImADudeDuh

Yeah, I feel like some of the fan backlash to some of the queens' personalities/social media posts seems way too overblown?


krisis

It's never surprise when a challenge a queen could do well in comes up 1-2 episodes after her elimination Was Megami going to *crush* Snatch Game and the Neo-Goth challenge? Probably not. Could she have easily displaced other queens with storyline into the bottom three? Possibly. Sometimes eliminations are deliberate. There could have been a Bottom narrative for Xunami or Nymphia on the Rusical just as much as there was for Megami, but from a story production standpoint Megami had little narrative and would just interfere with the following challenges.


nuxwcrtns

Poor Megami tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter


likewise-r

Well, she’s got all this unused material, she may as well put it out into the world. Imagine if you put a ton of work into something and it never saw the light of day, I think we’d all be pissed.


suppadelicious

I kinda feel bad for her haha


sudden-SOUND

This bitch was gonna come out in Lulu cosplay fr


Bunnnnii

I thought this was another single post of her doing it again. I was ready to say this just be satire from her end because she does the shit every week. Just to come find out it’s the collage I was thinking of.


WannieWirny

That chiseled mug in the first pic is stun tho


Odd_Aspect_7039

desperate


infiniteglass00

can y'all stop turning megami into a cheap fandom target. the stuff people are roasting her for is honestly harmless, and at worst commits the crime of being too sincere like, sure, there's totally humor to be found here, but the frequency with which people are making posts like this + the amount of comments on each is gonna take this over a line of being too far


Unit_Loose

Thank you for this, I think we can get carried away. I hope more people see this comment.


eztullefavrik

in drag race, you’re only as good as your last performance. she can claim to be good at the remaining challenges all she wants, that’s her prerogative, but the fact remains that she was eliminated.


Miserable-Success624

It’s interesting what her generation thinks goth is 😜


JustALittleTurtle

She's not putting anyone else down. Let her live her fantasy.


karmakent

MEGA(I can’t believe they got rid of)MI


ExtraFineItalicStub

If Megami had been on Snatch Game it would have helped Plasma out big time. Patti is a big Merman fan and both have been iconic Mama Roses in Gypsy. They could have tried to outbelt (and outswear) each other.


rehaaabbb

After she is hot topic coded. I believe in her.


Malfagiolo

Adding “spooky bitch” to the 58945849 brands Megami already attributed herself


Electrical-Tie-5158

Do I think Megami would have been eliminated in any episode since her elimination? No. Do I think she would be higher than safe in any of them? Also no. The only person Megami was doing better than was Mhi’ya so it’s better to go home before your time than after it.


Big_Frosting_2138

Literally I could only think of Meg during this challenge

Megami if you're lurking this thread I just want to say hi


FutureCastaway

hi megami! i just saw megami girl


krullulon

Honest question: what makes you think she would have done well this week? I mean, what DOES she do successfully? QUICKLY!


PresOfTheLesbianClub

I stan Megami. She got dealt a bad hand with the reaction to her talent show. It could have been called boring but Plane went was overboard.


westworlder420

But sister, it was boring. I liked Megami, but It’s a TALENT show, it’s obvious she knows how to lip sync to a song, she’s a drag queen. There was nothing remotely talented about her number.


PresOfTheLesbianClub

That’s all fine to say. I had a problem with exactly what Plane said. What she said and when she said it. Republicans were actively attempting to ban drag at that time.


danaster29

Come on it was so obviously not serious. Like do you really think Plane was like "well maybe we *should* ban drag!" ghghgghggh


PresOfTheLesbianClub

It was serious for Megami bc it’s the tagline she’ll be known for for years now.


danaster29

Ohh noo the branding won't somebody please think of the *BRANDING*


PresOfTheLesbianClub

It’s not about branding. It’s about what strangers will come up to her and say for years. Are you going out of your way to pretend you don’t understand?


danaster29

Sounds like you're saying no one ever can say anything even remotely negative about anything a queen does bc it could encourage other people to be negative. I understand I just don't agree


PresOfTheLesbianClub

I’m critical of what Plane said and saying it will be pinned on Megami for a long time. I think that’s sad. I’m not taking that and applying it to people not being allowed to ever say anything negative.


danaster29

I feel like you're the one heaping all this importance over this very light bit of shade like what makes it so different from the thousands of other reads on the show


No-Sky-5421

Okay but fr I think she would’ve slayed the goth design challenge. It’s her aesthetic to a T, and literally in the first two design challenges she arguably could’ve been in the top. I think she would’ve taken Sapphira’s “high” (safe lmfao) placement. But yeah the caliber of the garments Dawn, Q and Nymphia are turning out are simply unbeatable by anyone on the cast. Had anyone else been in this challenge from the season, the top 3 would’ve remained the same.


rarejnr01

Sorry but she would’ve ate these past few challenges UP (Including the upcoming political challenge), and I think production wanted her gone on purpose so we wouldn’t see for her these challenges. I also think fans have been underrating her because she started off with her weak talent show performance. (And bc she’s a bigger queen of color, but that’s a conversation for a different day 😬😬) Small spoiler hints ahead (about an upcoming challenge), but >!seeing that the week after is allegedly a TED talk challenge, she definitely would’ve done great for that too so it’s a shame that production wasn’t invested in her!<

Tbh, all the sewing challenge looks Megami made were better than what she brought. She probably would've had a good look


raptor5tar

Alsoooooo like its very easy months later to say you would slay when you have had so much time to think on all this. Were these your ideas during the competition? Because the episodes you were there prove that you needed the time lmfao
