i think i just fell in love visiting your profile and seeing your photo

i'm a finn as well, you can call me henna (-: i live and breathe makeup, do drag makeup as well (though very rarely these days as it takes so much time and time is a resource i don't have lol) and basically spend my time playing video games, reading and going to different kinds of events

i guess i leave it up to you if you want to chat more

omg I already love you

hi henna! omg I'd love to see pics of your makeup. (if that's ok ofcourse, don't want to overstep any boundaries!) no but I get you, it takes SO much time (if I go to an event or something and I have to leave the house at 8pm, I start getting ready at 1pm or something just bc the process takes so long. the makeup itself takes really long but if you have to pad, cinch, dress yourself, put your wig on and glue it down, accessoires.. that takes even longer so usually I'm exhausted before I even leave the house lol) ánd it's really expensive as well! (and it hurts lol sometimes I really wonder why I do this to myself) & ohh what kinda events? and yes ofcourse!

thank you so much!! I've been practising since I was 14 so it does take a lot of time but it's worth it!

i have A LOT of favorites but if i had to mention few then Judas Priest, Rammstein and Megadeth probably. but yeah i listen to a tons of bands and subgenres. cats are also lovely!
oh it really shows! you look great and so do your drawings

I love Rammstein!! Some bands I still really love are Motionless in white, Slipknot, In this moment, New years day, Avatar, Marilyn Manson, Five finger death punch, Hellyeah, Cradle of filth etc. [not everything counts as a (metal) band but whatever lol] & thank you so much!!!

I'm 21 years old and I'm studying to get a bachelor's degree in gender studies (will be done this summer). I like reading and watching TV series. I'm bad at introducing myself, so if you feel like talking, just ask me anything!

aah i just deleted my pics from instagram, but i can post some of them somewhere else for you!!
ya it takes hours and you want to enjoy the whole process and sip something while doing it and making it a self-care moment since it's so fun already.. at this point my drag is limited only to my makeup, wig, accessories and a nice outfit + shoes (no padding or cinching and sometimes i go without a wig and rock my shaved head) but it still takes hella time

parties and concerts and other fun stuff our student organizations do, we have so much events i can't even attend to everything

@Opulence if you don't think I'm lame like everyone else thinks, you can be my friend

I like Regular Show, snakes, and video games. You can ask me more if you're interested!

Hey!! Ofc you're not lame! I used to watch Regular Show & I love snakes! What video games do you play? I don't game as much as I used to anymore but The last of us is still my all time fave

I play Skyrim (I'd like to say I'm probably the world's biggest fan), World of Warcraft, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Sims 3. I play a lot more but those are my favourites. Thank you for asking! <3

Thank you so much! Gender studies seem so interesting to me! I don't know everything about it ofc bc I don't study it, but in the drag scene, my friend group and the queer scene in general gender & sexuality are such big and important topics so I'm constantly surrounded by conversations about it and I love to learn more about it (especially so I can support my non binary, gnc & trans friends to the best of my abilities!) what are your favorite series?

Opulence! You earn everything!

Would love to be friends with you! I am a huge RPDR fan and fan of drag in general! Would love to be a drag queen myself, but money and motivation is non-existent in my life atm! I am also really gay, but I am a guy though

I'm from Norway, and I am currently in university, studying for a bachelor degree in graphic design and marketing! I love music, singing, dancing, tv series, gaming and partying!

omg hahahah Mercedes was iconic, I'm rooting for Yvie though! But I also really like Vanjie, Brooke & Plastique

I'll send you a request rn, you sound lovely!! My love for drag started with RPDR but it truly blossomed when I found the local scene, the Dutch drag scene is insane and the experience you have at a local show is so much different than a rugirl show. idk, I just love my local girlies with all my heart hahah. But if you can, yiu definitely have to try it sometime - even if it's just once! It's a truly unique experience and you feel like you own the world (you own everythingggg)

ohhh graphic design, that's so cool! I considered that after high school but my passion for makeup was bigger hahah. What other tv series do you watch?

Yvie, Vanjie, Brooke and Plastique are literally my top 4 of the season!

I have been to a local drag show once (hosted by Alice Rabbit at The Rabbit Hole) in Edinburgh, and it was really cool! I even ended up chatting with one of the queens that performed that night! I know there are local drag shows being hosted not too far from me, but I just need someone to go with me!

I watch and have watched a lot of tv series, but I am currently watching The Flash, Supergirl and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists! Some of my favorite tv series are The 100, Orange Is The New Black and Orphan Black, including the shows I am watching now!

parties and concerts and other fun stuff our student organizations do, we have so much events i can't even attend to everything

I'd love that! & trueeee I take so many breaks, in my opinion if you don't it gets stressful really fast, especially when things don't exactly work out the way you want to (when you can't get your brows even or whatever lmao) & that's sad bc it's supposed to be fun hahah. & there's nothing wrong with that! imo cinching/padding/wearing a wig doesn't make you a better dragqueen, stuff like 'if you're not wearing nails you're not doing drag' is bullshit. drag is whatever you want it to be & it's just reaaaally expensive so sometimes you just gotta work with what you got. I'm lucky my best friend is also a queen so we swap outfits/wigs a lot lol

that sounds so cool!!

I haven't really tried those (but I've heard a lot of positive things about them!) except for the sims!! I'm obsessed with that lol, I'm currently playing 4 but I really miss the 'travel mode' from 3. I like csa better in 4 tho, much more detail

hahah i'm not sure if i'm very scorpio-like tbh but thanks i guess
yeah some days sure are like that. i too had one of those days today. i've been procrastinating and now i just wish i had been aborted 'cause i have a big and important exam tomorrow and i haven't studied for it. sigh.

It is interesting for sure! I remember when I first started, after just a week I felt like a completely new world had opened up to me, it was really amazing. Unfortunately it feels like issues surrounding sexuality and trans issues haven't really been brought up that much in the courses I've had. Much of the course literature we read is very theoretical, and thus it seems like we never talk about real life experiences, which makes it kind of hard to apply any of the theory on everyday situations and to use them to combat things like homophobia and transphobia.

I love Wentworth, Sherlock and Bron/Broen (a Danish/Swedish series). I also really like Line of Duty. My favourite genre is definitely crime dramas.
