jinkxmonsoon: tokyo-sb: I JUST CAN’T STAND THE FACT THAT JINKX MONSOON JUST WON THE 5th SEASON. LIKE WTF I JUST WANTED ALASKA TO WIN. I didn’t JUST win it.

It’s been 4 years.

Alaska has moved on. Her fans have moved on. And guess what? I’ve moved on.

Also, if Alaska would have won, I would have been very happy.

Also, Alaska has had an amazing career since then.

Also, IT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO! I know you prolly don’t mean any harm. But it’s four years of internet trolls trying to devalue my win, and I think I’m finally over it.

Go dispute someone else’s hard work on something! Queen just let it roll like “Water Off a Ducks Back” I wish I was able to do that and that is why I love you!

Absolutely. But let me be clear. “Water off a duck’s back,” doesn’t mean, ignore your feelings. Everyone is entitled to their emotions and opinions. So if someone comes for you, you can have and voice your opinion. But don’t hold on to the negativity. Let it go.

I just wanna take this moment, to say to whoever may be reading this on tumblr…

Yes, “water off a duck’s back” was my mantra to get me through the rougher moments of my experience on drag race.

But the editors cut out all of my fighting back to anyone who came for me.

I was never vicious, I was never rude, and I never personally attacked someone. I focused on defending myself.

I don’t want people to think that I believe that you are not allowed to feel upset. Yes, there are adult ways to deal with someone attacking you over petty things, but that doesn’t mean you just have to ignore EVERYTHING negative that comes your way.

Take it in.

Feel your feelings.

Say your piece.

And then, let the rest be “water off a duck’s back.”

Meaning, don’t hang on to the negativity or the criticism from someone who doesn’t even know you.

That does NOT mean, you aren’t allowed to voice how you feel.

And how I feel, is that people who are still bringing up how I shouldn’t have won, four years later, are petty and need to get over it. I put up with that opinion being shoved in my face for years. I never responded with negativity, and I’m still not.

But I do wish to point out to anyone who wants to post about this on the Internet and tag me in it, that it’s FOUR YEARS LATER. Why don’t you focus on the state of the world, and the fact that an orange haired, egocentric, menace to society wants to take over the world. (No! Not me! Trump! Ha ha.)

So! Internet trolls! Go ahead and post about how I shouldn’t have won, or how my best friend deserved it more. Feel free! Just don’t be surprised if I counter your opinion with my own.

And then, once we’ve both said our piece, all the rest can be WATER OFF A MOTHER FUCKING DUCK’S BACK!
