Katya has become one of the most recognizable names within the franchise. Her career has spanned as early as season 7, her amazing run on All Stars 2 & the many achievements she's made in almost a decade since first being introduced to the Dragrace audience. In this video, I go over how Katya's career evolved, and what her relationship of the fans would mean as time went by.

Tbh Trixie has helped a lot with boundaries IMO. Trixie is very vocal and straightforward with how she feels, and if fans start pushing boundaries she calls it out immediately. I think this directness is something that helps their dynamic a lot

@meghangerhart643 Год назад

Agreed. I think they help each other a lot. Trixie has helped Katya feel more comfortable with standing up for herself and Katya has helped Trixie with feeling more comfortable in being vulnerable. They’ve helped each other in so many other ways. I think they emphasize each other’s strengths and help balance each other’s weaknesses. It’s why they’re so brilliant together.

@kyky33569 11 месяцев назад

@f.n.246 11 месяцев назад

I think a lot of her fans also try to emulate her but they are not as nuance and way too young, so it just comes across as unhinged. She needs to keep sticking up for her boundaries, again, kids that are too young to do edgy, humor, right trying to copy her style.

@tsuki3752 8 месяцев назад

That tweet Katya made about Trixie's win for All Stars 3 was so wholesome. They hadn't really talked seriously about how much they loved each other by that point, and Katya tweeting "Brian is my brother and I love him so much" warms my heart to this day.

@danwilliams2551 Год назад

I love her so much but I'm glad you pointed out how a portion of the Trixya fanbase is BONKERS, and those fans don't even realize how much stress they are adding to her life. I remember how she told a story of learning to stand up for herself and her friends when a fan demanded to join her and Trixie when they were seated outside a restaurant and she had to shoot that person down, and hard. People need to remember that they are a FAN of hers, not a FRIEND of hers. "Unhhhh" is great but it's widespread nature has attracted a brand of parasocial relationship that I hope doesn't always interfere with her personal life.

Not everyone has the same worldview and sentiments as everyone. And some peeps just do something in the spur of the moment with no thought. Not to mention not everyone has the same boundaries. So yeah, she should have established what she was ok with and not ok with from the get go to avoid confusion.

@1bwash Год назад

The stuff Katya would say, especially early on, was always so out there and passionate, I just think it was a character people could project themselves onto easily but for some fans they easily took it too far as well. She does have such a social conscience, so it sucks she doesn't speak about those topics as much, but at the same time, both her and Trixie putting walls up to protect themselves from the fans that take things too far almost gives them more legitimacy. They're superstars because they're only so accessible. And as much as everyone enjoys Alaska and Willam, they're so tied to Drag Race in order to maintain their relevancy. Willam is repeating and exaggerating the same Season 4 tea every week to try and keep the fans interested.

Idk I just think trixie's story is very inspiring and watching someone achieve their dreams despite having so many things stacked against them just makes me so happy :)

@mak2488 Год назад

For any future DR queens who are reading this right now : Follow the Katya and Trixie guidebook. Don’t engage in online drama. Don’t complain publicly. Get the stick out of your ass and instead heavily feature self deprecation and tomfoolery. Yes you can still be pretty but let your real irreverent self come through your drag. Pretty gets boring. I suggest this only because all the subsequent queens do the total opposite these days and there STILL hasn’t been a Katya or Trixie to come out of any subsequent seasons. Bianca, Trixie and Katya laid out the literal blue print to lasting major success. Like RuPaul says, “there’s no need to reinvent the wheel, the wheel works just fine.” It’s the ultimate cheat code. In other words : Be 50% fierce and talented and 50% stupid and self deprecating. It’s a recipe for success.

I really relate to her in terms of addiction. I was a pretty bad addict, but I've been fully sober for almost a year now. So I understand how hard it has been for her and how tough s7 must have been without her support network. Addiction is a brutal disease that controls every part of your life, and once you become an addict, you have to spend the rest of your life working actively to maintain sobriety. That's why we're *recovering* addicts, not *recovered* addicts.

I can not even imagine what Katya could actually gain from doing any other season of any sort for any reason of any sort. She's already as successful as she wants to be. She's already got as much money as she wants. She already *won* drag race. Not getting a title doesn't mean anything. The purpose of the show is to platform yourself. She did that. She's enormously successful. She won.

Trixie was apologetic, but she was focused on getting to the show. Katya stopped, helped me back up off the ground, and asked me to walk with them to their show. I did just that, making jokes and laughing along with them. Once we made it to the show, they both took pictures with me and thanked me for walking with them. Sadly, I didn't have a ticket to the show, nor did I have enough money to buy a ticket, so I just went on my own way after that. Then I woke up lol

I really liked that you touched on Katya's fans and the maturity level that came with them. Drag Race has introduced a lot of the 'Queer' community to the mainstream and with it the lack of education on the culture and history runs rampant. Katya constantly showing up for minority queens is such a normal thing for us queers who did not grow up in a time in which it was safe to be open, and we had to FIGHT for everything. It's not to say that kids today have it easier but they don't know their history so when their 'idols' are showcasing it they don't tend to understand or empathize.

Hey, as a big fan of gymnastics, I just wanted to jump in and set the record straight on some of the history you mentioned. Yelena Zamolodchikova, or "Zamo" for short, wasn't actually the leader of the Russian team in 2000 - that was Svetlana Khorkina. And unfortunately, the team didn't win the gold medal that year; they lost out to Romania, with Zamo taking a tumble on the balance beam during the team final. In the all-around competition, Zamo also fell during her floor routine and missed out on a medal. But, in a seriously impressive comeback, she went on to win gold in both the vault and floor exercise event finals. So while Zamo was definitely a star, she didn't actually lead her team to gold - they had to settle for silver and were totally gutted to lose out to Romania.

I am anti social but am always friendly with people but I really draw the line at my flat, the only uninvited guests are animals and, my Bengal cat is as anti social as me so they risk getting beat up ( usually other cats who all want to live with me but who my cat doesn't ), she's actually really good with the birds that come and the squirrel, but I wouldn't trust her not to try to eat them if I wasn't there.

Of course there are always entitled/delulu fans who cross boundaries and that is NEVER okay. I just wouldn't automatically assume the worst if someone repeated one of her catch phrases back at her.
