I definitely started singing that damn song as soon as I read the title.

I want to see if Romania can top their opera vampire. I’m sad that Ukraine and Turkey aren’t participating this year; they’ve always understood how to put on a show. Very little is as Eurovison as Dancing Lasha Tumbai.

I’m an American expat/Swedish immigrant, and I love Eurovison the same way Germans love country music - it is so wonderfully bizarre. Sweden’s 2nd place winner in Melodifestivalen was a Sami dude (adopted from Colombia) doing traditional Joik; he even won the popular vote.

Me too, but there were a lot of media outlets (mistakenly) saying Tom was trans when Conchita won, and not everyone is familiar with the ins and outs of drag etiquette!

You mean that terrible country song that stole the base line from Every Breath You Take? PASS.

I knowwww!!

Just to clear things up for everyone:

There’s a few interviews out there specifying that when referring to Conchita the character, female pronouns are used, but Tom out of drag uses male pronouns.

Actually, I think he mentioned it at a panel? I remember seeing captioned screens (I think from NYCC) of Gillian’s reactions and it was hilarious.

I look more like Duchovny than Anderson (similar ethnic make up, probably why I’ve always been eh on him) but I’ve always thought Gillian should play JK Rowling in the eventual biopic.

You’re not alone in that!

Scully... has never had the best taste in men. The manic pixie dream guy that is Mulder seemed like a step up for her, but if I was her BFF I would have strongly steered her towards Skinner.

It could.

I always thought that was just wistful thinking on the part of shippers?

... Actually, a Person of Interest tie in isn’t THAT crazy, they’ve already dealt with a rogue AI and are used to paranoid hackers....

I know you mentioned Copenhagen, but I know for a fact Stockholm has Segway tours, so Copenhagen probably does too. So that might cut down on the walking if you want to see the city before you zero in on specific places you want to go :)

Depends what country. You have no idea what a pain in the ass sourcing weed is in Sweden. Your average local thinks it’s on the same level as heroin.

I have the body type of a 40s pin up. My mom is rail thin and flat as a board (naturally, but she also is horribly fatphobic) . As soon as I hit puberty I was so ashamed of my body that I stopped swimming because I was so uncomfortable that anyone could see my thighs.

I spent the entirety of 8th and 9th grade wearing carpenter mom jeans and baggy t shirts because I was so embarrassed by how “fat” I was.

I keenly remember my first experience — I think I was 16?
