"robesyette" - or "lafaspierre": that's how I called it - used to be one of my ships lmao I'm glad somebody else has thought about it too xD

OMG?! A great mind that ships them also, I think "robeyette" falls better on the tongue tbh!

I really thought I came oute with it since like.. Im the only one making content- i mean there's maybe ONE chapter on a shitpost nsfw fanfic on AO3 but its really scratching for anything and this point LOL

based on derena and derena only, how would u rank each season?

s1>s3>s2>s4> s5=s6 

s1 being best derena season feels sort of obvious, like, i don’t need to explain that one. they were so wholesome & sweet and both of them were trying their best! i choose s3 over s2 solely because s2 had some amount of evil derena which unsettles me and i didn’t like the execution of, and also because i really love dan & serena being best friends, so 3 over 2. s4 is just there.... it had its issues and wasn’t a great derena season, but hey, it was better than what came after. i’ve put s5 = s6 because s5 was the season of serena betrays dan and s6 was the season of dan betrays serena (i don’t buy that he’s gossip girl, but i do think his other behaviour - publishing ‘inside out’ - was terrible), and objectively, i can’t really choose which one is worse? dan betraying serena or serena betraying dan?? they’re both bad. i just want dan & serena to get along!!!

2010s Eurovision: 355-351

355. Donny Montell - “Love is blind” Lithuania 2012

While Donny Demontell was markedly less insufferable in his twinkarnation, I still found him pretty annoying lol. He’s such a ham-fisted attentionmonger who thinks he’s hot shit. 🙄 and guess what, he totally isn’t? Of course he had to resort to doing a cartwheel and OMFG THAT FUCKING AIR GUITAR IS BURNT FOREVER ON MY RETINA ugh, I wish *I* had been blind during this ordeal. 🤮

354. 3+2 ft Robert Wells - “Butterflies” Belarus 2010

“ZOMG BUTTERFLY WINGS!!!” I don’t *care* okay. If you go literal in the most lifeless way possible, you’re just starved for good staging ideas. “Butterflies” is an average-run-the-mill Sovbot ballad, with zero personality, mediocre vocals and a literal (ie: unoriginal) gimmick. AND qualified, in doing so destroying the miraculous wonder of ~Kuunkuiskaajat~. Unacceptable!!!

353. Dalal & Deen ft. Ana Rucner and Jala - “Ljubav je” Bosnia & Herzegovina 2016

One of the biggest diseases in postmodern Eurovision is Meaningitis. A lot of countries feel like they are supposed to slap on random Socially Relevant Critique onto their entries haphazardly. “Ljubav je” is one of the more egregious examples where a fairly generalist message of love and humanitarianism was transformed into a naggy refugee crisis pamphlet. 🙄 Underscored with barbed wire and foil blankets.

But of course, this by itself wasn’t enough for Bosnia, so they also made a DESPERATE grab at BDex. Now, I am aware Nina deserved to win it, but I voted for Bosnia and I have zero regrets whatsoever. It was ugly and so are they. 😞Ana Rucner’s “outfit” alone. This frontal assault to the visual senses was SUPEREFFECTIVE (in making me dislike them :) 

(having said all that, while i DISlike “Ljubav je” overall, props to Jala for one of the few instances of kick ass White Guy Rapping in Eurovision :) Too bad it’s wasted on this shitstorm of an entry  tho 😞)

352. Magdalena Tul - “Jestem” Poland 2011

For some reason, I have a feeling that Madgalena Tul has fans and... I can’t really see why? “Jestem” is pretty dope in studio version, but the live. 😬 A lot of disembodied voices and bad camera angles and it sucks all of the life it couldn’t had. I suppose it’s apt that this was also the FIRST live perfomance in all of 2011. Great way to set up three nights of major disappointment. Though recently I heard Magdalena became semi-relevant again, when she turned up at Eurovision in Concert, where she proceeded to absolutely butcher “To nie ja”.   🙃

351. Srbuk - “Walking out” Armenia 2019

The Armenian Magdalena. Srbuk showed all the promise in the world, which she continued to show with an intense treatise on domestic violence, but the actual live... You were supposed to be strong, Srbuk, WHERE WAS YOUR POWER???  😭 WE BELIEVED IN WE ALL BELIEVED IN YOU -- BorisBanks

I don’t even know what else to add about Srbuk, honestly? Armenia provided NO staging (zomg shot of an empty arena!! no one curr, don’t you understand how immersion and cinematic tension work? Apparently not.), poor diction (you can barely make out what she sings), weak pinched voice (+ a DISASTROUS high note), NEGATIVE CHARISMA (I just feel she’s permanently irate?), not to mention the general death-by-wideshotness that ran rampant in 2019. A complete failure and a massive disappointment. Gtfo my ranking plz.

CD27 - 9DPO aka 3+2

Good morning! I have not tested yet. I’m doing my best to remain strong (and I almost ran to the toilet to pee this morning so wouldn’t have had time to grab a test anyway ;) )

Right breast is still tender this morning but so far manageable. No cramps right now but they were borderline bad last night when I tried to sleep.

Kat's Eurovision Discourse S7 E1: Ballad Horror Stories 39 -- 3+2 ft Robert Wells, Butterflies (Belarus) An example of what not to do at Eurovision. I constantly found myself getting distracted while listening to this one. The lyrics and staging are saccharine and the one guy who riffed at the end is the only competent singer out of the five of them. Also, who is Robert Wells? 38 -- Harel Skaat, Milim (Israel) I usually love songs in triple meter, but this? No thanks. The staging was pretty boring, which meant that this song was pretty low in my top even before his infamous voice crack.
