alexis going in the girl car when she was with her family, that’s so sweet fck such earnestness
Legit teared up 💖 🥰
I’m not even trans but I so wish that was something I could do sometimes, just because I have a penis doesn’t mean I fit in best with the men, ugh!
Y'all better stan Mirage! *shakes fist in the air*
Shakes my ass bitchly
no ❤
Her cartwheel heel clack brought me so much joy; I've watched her talent show 5-6 times at this point
Stan mirage??? I's her government name Stan?
We love a love child of Willam and Anetra!
Mirage, Sapphira and Dawn OWNED this episode for me, great start for the season
And Q!!!
And Amanda❤
Q:?????
Also, Morphine Love Dion's entrance look was a recreation of Kali Uchis' 2021 brunch/red carpet look!
i knew that it looked familiar!!! thats why
I need a TikTok/YT short made of Alexis proudly showing Darby her puzzle that’s 1/8th completed 🤣🤣💀
you got it🫡 posted on tt 💃
Darby: "Now do you know what this is in reference to?" Alexis P. Bevels: "If you tell me then I'll know after."
The first “can I see you over here” of the year. Everything is right. God is good
I was trying to explain😮 how funny this new shtick is, but you have to see it to truly appreciate it!! I love this for U2!
"I'm so happy for her success, I think it's so funny," is the read of all reads
Morphine's entrance was referencing a kali uchis look, the girls that get it get it
darby stuns in new imho episode
I am so happy Dawn and Mirage are getting the acknowledgement they deserve! I was stunned when Dawn got booted by Raven and Roger, but they gave Amanda Tori Meeting a toot 😆
I let out a GAY GASP. When I told my boyfriend they did that he looked at me like I was lying. 😂
IKR and also, in general, I think it sucks that Raja and Raven don't even watch the show
I love the little glimpses into Alexis’ life ❤her and her family almost got that puzzle a fourth of the way done! 2024 is coming up Alexis!
I wish "You're really hard to edit" was a read that would make more sense in my life... because I know some people...
Me: 😔 Alexis: *wheezes* Me: 😌
Q is this seasons Shannel. She does DRAGGGGGG, and she is the first to tell you how fabulous she is. I'm here for it!!! Mirage & Anetra work at the same bar in Vegas. Thats a drag bar i'd go to.. if I wasn't in australia.
Girl Morphine’s reference was Kali Uchis! She actually just came out with an album and she’s pregnant!!!
the mug is SITTING on Alexis, I LOVE the mod crease and lower lashes 🥹😍🥰
Alexis should add “The Song of Achilles” to her reading list. It’s so good!
I'm ready and waiting and manifesting Alexis' BookTube spin-off channel.
oh my good god. Circe!
Shel Silverstein books were banned in libraries , by Republicans , for all the reasons you loved the books and how the stories and concepts frees little minds to be free . ❤ . Along with Charlotte's Web , which is an allegorical tale that blew my 9yr old mind . Scary times.
10:16 "if you tell me then i'll know after" idk why but this made me die laughing, i'm gonna use this
I was looking forward to hearing yalls opinions on this! I personally am loving the energy mirage and sapphira are bringing! Mirage's talent show OWNED for me lol. Ik the whole thing is to make rupaul laugh but mirage ate fr fr
I fully support Alexis's reading journey! I've heard lots of great things about Cemetery Boys. The same author's new book The Sunbearer Trials is supposed to be good too. :)
Both are LOVELY!!!! I would highly recommend both!
"Can I see you back here?" 😂😂😂😂
There's been a lot of downplaying of Saphira on social media/KZhead so it feels nice to hear that you guys GET IT
I wish I knew what Alexis was going to say @ 21:12 "or maybe she would open the towel......"
“If you tell me then I’ll know after.” 😭
"What'd you talk about? Periods?" 😅😅😅 I can't!!!
I'm just here to say that Cemetery Boys was a breath of fresh air in queer fiction, such an incredible book, and everyone queer should read it. And Alexis, if you ever did a book podcast, I'd finally listen to podcasts. Sending love to you both!!!
I need a reaction video of Darby talking about Love Connie “Was she necessary for this? No! Did it make sense? Nuh-huh. Was it consistent? Not at all… But good for you, babe” imma use it so much lol
I was waiting for Darby to say, "I love that for her!!" 🥰😅🤣😂
"You're gonna show me ....a *picture* of a puzzle?" *proceeds to show picture of unfinished puzzle* I love thheemmmm 😂
Dear Alexis, I really think you would enjoy a book series called “the raven cycle” if you liked cemetery boys you may enjoy the series! It’s one of my favorites❤
“was he a bad guy…. i think there’s like a darkness” 😭😭😭
My resolute resolutions have been resolved! I plan on watching more IMHO this year
Happy new year, Darby and Alexis! I hope 2024 brings you as much joy and and mirth and comfort and laughter as you bring to us all. Honestly, even if you only got a fraction of all that joy and whatever, you`d be way ahead of the game, because there are so many more of us than just you two and Auntie Chan, that adds up to a pretty big chunk of joy, just statistically. But nuts to statistics, I wish you that much joy and twice as many laughs!
That Bob saget joke almost killed me 💀
Loved your shoutout on Race P. Chaser today! 😍
" I wanted more, I wanted more"... "morephine" kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I caught the specific wording about the immunity too! I have zero theories but I'm excited to find out
Happy New Year to our beautiful queens! May you flourish in every way positive and may the channel continue to grow and thrive. You both look gorgeous. X
I’ve seen Derrick in person twice and not to come for Darby, but she has had a big glow up since her season. And she’s just boy cvnt slay drag. Darby would not understand.

1:03 Darbymania 5 star pro wrestling promo
Loved ❤
"I'm not sure that would've been hard" 😂 i just belly laughed so fucking hard.
Derek's makeup will change when Britney's changes. We should be happy she's putting any on at all and isn't just holed up inside Nebraska, doing the dance of the seven veils
Alexis this hair. You look gorggg
Alexis' earnest excitement about season 16 is infectious!
Thank you for bringing the laundry back lmao
Go go gadget arms 😂😂😂
I really loved Dawn, hope she goes far!

Miss you gorgeous ladies!
WOAH Bob Saget?! How did I miss that happening. Daaammmnn. It was literally 2 years ago and I’m just finding out now.
The first 12 minutes Queen review was in color order.
OMG MY QUEENS ARE BACK 😭😭😭
Omg not Alexis reading the same book as me at the same time
Morphine was recreating a look by kali uchis I love her and morphine Looked EXACTLY like kali
At this point I feel like I’m only watching Drag Race so I can watch you two ❤️
I really want to know where Darby got that pretty necklace momment 😭 so pretty

Yes. Just like italia season 1
I love Amanda's charisma so much
Darby is giving Rupaul in that SNL short with Pete Davidson, go off
My god this reference 😂 but tea
I believe it may be hard to "TOP" the ep.1 premiere!! Good luck ep.2 racers... I can't wait to see how this turns out!! 🧐
Alexis, SAY IT!!! It couldn't have been that bad............😂
No one has mentioned that Mirage is cosplaying as Willie Nelson in her talking head. It distracted me so much every time she came up. I couldn't focus on anything she was saying.
2:49 DARBY 😭😭😭
(A ray of light shines down on a leather-bound storybook. The book opens and a Scottish-accented voice begins reading its text) Shrek: Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower. For her true love and true love's first kiss. (Shrek chuckles and rips out a page of the book and closes it) Shrek: Like that's ever gonna happen. What a load of - (We see an outhouse and hear the sound of a toilet flushing. Out steps Shrek, an ogre, who tugs at his underwear and shakes his foot of the page still stuck to his shoe. He looks lovingly at the swamp he calls home, and goes about his daily routine. Which is taking a mud shower, brushing his teeth with bugs, bathing in a muddy pond, gathering giant slugs for dinner, and painting a warning sign) (In a nearby village, an angry mob gather up to go after Shrek. At night they gather their torches and pitchforks and enter the swamp, trampling over Shrek's warning signs. Shrek sees them after investigating the commotion, rolling his eyes. The villagers stop outside Shrek's home, unaware that Shrek is sneaking up behind them) Villager 1: Think it's in there? Villager 2: All right. Let's get it! Villager 1: Whoa. Hold on. Do you know what that thing can do to you? Villager 3: Yeah, it'll grind your bones for its bread. (Shrek chuckles, revealing himself to be standing behind the mob) Shrek: Yes, well, actually, that would be a giant. (The mob gasps) Shrek: Now, ogres, oh they're much worse. They'll make a suit from your freshly peeled skin... (Shrek slowly approaches as the villagers back away in fear) Villager: No! Shrek: They'll shave your liver. Squeeze the jelly from your eyes! Actually, it's quite good on toast. Villager 1: Back! Back, beast! Back! I warn ya! (The villager waves his torch in Shrek's face. Shrek casually licks his fingers and pinches the flame, extinguishing the torch. The villager drops it) Villager 1: Right. (Shrek terrifies the mob with a great frightening roar, his spit extinguishing all the remaining torches. He wipes his mouth and waits for the villagers to stop screaming) Shrek: (whispering) This is the part where you run away. Villagers: (gasping) (Shrek laughs as the men drop their torches and pitchforks and run away as fast they can) Shrek: And stay out! (He looks down and picks up a wanted poster dropped by one of the villagers. He reads it aloud) SHREK: "Wanted. Fairytale creatures"? (He sighs and walks off. dropping the poster to the ground) Fairy tale creatures are put in chains and led into wagons by Duloc Guards. The Captain of the Duloc Guards sits at a table paying a line of people their rewards for turning in the fairytale creatures. Those waiting in line include Peter Pan, who is carrying Tinkerbell in a cage, Geppetto who is carrying Pinocchio, and a farmer carrying the Three Little Pigs. Guard: All right. This one's full. Take it away! Move it along. Come on! Get up! The Captain: Next! Guard: (Taking the witch's broom) Give me that! Your flying days are over. (breaks the broom in half) The Captain: That's 20 pieces of silver for the witch. Next! (The captain hands over the reward to the villager who turned the witch in. The villager mutters to himself) Villager: Lousy 20 pieces. Guard: Get up! Come on! (Waiting in line is Donkey on a leash and his owner. He looks in horror at the witch and a group of dwarves being loaded into a wagon) Guard: Sit down there! Keep quiet! Mama Bear and Papa Bear are locked inside giant cages, with Little Bear in his own cage Little Bear: (crying) This cage is too small. Donkey: (To his owner) Please, don't turn me in. I'll never be stubborn again. I can change. Please! Give me another chance! Old Woman : Oh, shut up. (smacks Donkey) The Captain: Next! What have you got? Geppetto: This little wooden puppet. Pinocchio: I'm not a puppet. I'm a real boy. (his nose grows) The Captain: 5 shillings for the possessed toy. Take it away. Pinocchio: Father, please! Don't let them do this! Help me! (Geppetto takes the money and walks off. The old woman steps up to the table) The Captain: Next! What have you got? Old Woman: Well, I've got a talking donkey. The Captain: Right. Well, that's good for 10 shillings. If you can prove it. Old Woman: Oh, go ahead, little fella. (Donkey stays silent) The Captain: Well? Old Woman: Oh, oh, he's just...he's just a little nervous. He's really quite a chatterbox. (Smacks Donkey again) Talk, you boneheaded dolt, talk! The Captain: That's it. I've heard enough. Guards! Old Woman: No, no, he talks! He does. (Moving Donkey's lips) I can talk. I love to talk. I'm the talking-est damn thing you ever saw. The Captain: Get her out of my sight. Old Woman: No, no! I swear! Oh! He can talk! (The guards grab the old woman and she struggles with them. One of her legs flies out and kicks Tinkerbell out of Peter Pan's hands, and her cage drops on Donkey's head. He gets sprinkled with fairy dust and starts floating upwards) Donkey: Hey! I can fly! Peter Pan: He can fly! 3 Little Pigs: He can fly! The Captain: He can talk! Donkey: Ha, ha! That's right, fool! Now I'm a flying, talking donkey. You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly but I bet you ain't never seen a donkey fly. Ha, ha! (The pixie dust's effects begin to wear off) Uh-oh. (He drops out of the air and hits the ground with a thud) The Captain: Seize him! (Donkey dodges the guards as they try to grab him and runs deeper into the forest) Guards: After him! He's getting away! Get him! This way! Turn! (Donkey escapes deeper into the forest and runs head first into Shrek's backside. Shrek turns around to see who bumped into him and glares down at Donkey. Donkey looks scared of Shrek for a moment, but he quickly hides behind him after seeing that the guards have caught up to him) The Captain: You there. Ogre! Shrek: Aye? The Captain: By the order of Lord Farquaad, I am authorized to place you both under arrest and...(Shrek slowly approaches the group of guards, the guards visibly frightened by him) transport you to... a designated...resettlement...facility? Shrek: Oh, really? You and what army? (smiles) (The Captain looks behind himself and sees that all the other guards have abandoned him. The Captain tucks tail and runs off. Shrek shakes his head and starts walking back to his swamp. Donkey, impressed by Shrek, follows him) Donkey: Can I say something to you? Listen, you was really, really, really somethin' back here. Incredible! Shrek: Are you talking to...(he turns around and Donkey is gone) me? (he turns back around and Donkey is right in front of him) Whoa! Donkey: Yes. I was talking to you. Can I tell you that you that you was great back there? Man those guards! They thought they was all of that. Then you showed up and bam! They was tripping over themselves like babes in the woods. That really made me feel good to see that. Shrek: (annoyed) Oh, that's great. Really. Donkey: Man, it's good to be free. Shrek: Now, why don't you go celebrate your freedom with your own friends? Hmm? Donkey: But, uh, I don't have any friends. And I'm not goin' out there by myself. Hey, wait a minute! I got a great idea! I'll stick with you. You're a mean, green, fighting machine. Together we'll scare the spit out of anybody that crosses us. Donkey: Oh, wow! That was really scary. If you don't mind me saying, if that don't work, your breath certainly will get the job done, 'cause you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something, 'cause your breath stinks! Donkey: Man, you almost burned the hair outta my nose, just like the time...(Shrek covers his mouth but Donkey continues to talk. Shrek removes his hand) ...then I ate some rotten berries. I had strong gases leaking out of my butt that day. Shrek: Why are you following me? Donkey: I'll tell you why. (drops from the log. Singing) "'Cause I'm all alone, There's no one here beside me, My problems have all gone, There's no one to deride me, But you gotta have friends..." Shrek: Stop singing! (picks up Donkey by his ears and tail) Well, it's no wonder you don't have any friends (drops him) Donkey: Wow. Only a true friend would be that truly honest. Shrek: Listen, little donkey. Take a look at me. What am I? Donkey: Uh...really tall? Shrek: No! I'm an ogre! You know, "Grab your torch and pitchforks." Doesn't that bother you? Donkey: Nope. Shrek: Really? Donkey: Really, really. Shrek: Oh. Donkey: Man, I like you. What's your name? Shrek: Uh, Shrek. Donkey: Shrek? Well, you know what I like about you, Shrek? You got that kind of "I-don't-care-what-nobody-thinks-of-me" thing. I like that. I respect that, Shrek. You're all right. (they come over a hill overlooking Shrek's swamp) Woo, look at that! Who'd want to live in place like that? Shrek: That would be my home. Donkey: Oh! And it is lovely! Just beautiful. You know you are quite a decorator. It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder. (looks at Shrek's "keep out" signs) I guess you don't entertain much, do you? Shrek: I like my privacy. Donkey: You know, I do too. That's another thing we have in common. Like I hate it when you got somebody in your face. You're trying to give them a hint and they won't leave. And there's that big awkward silence you know? Can I stay with you?
I wanna say something funny but this whole video I could not stop thinking about how STUNNING Alexis’ looks 😍
Xunami (especially in her red runway) reminds me of Chi Chi Devayne so much and I miss her.
“What did you talk about, periods?” AHJFKSBFBS
Eu amo vocês! ❤
