Welcome to being ASIAN. All the other non-asian queens need to get CULTURED. PERIODT. This is so common in our Asian community. There’s a lot of pressure in being the best/excellent that we freak out every step of the way.
STOP STEREOTYPING ASIAN PARENTING. I’m full Asian second generation and my immigrant parents only gave me support and confidence. You know nothing about Nymphia’s upbringing…. It’s so f***ing annoying!!
Oh my god. Just delete your comment. It's embarrassing. Quit the Internet. Go touch grass and educate yourself on being a real person and not a stereotype, a caricature. Everyone needs to get cultured on being sane. Have a great rest of the day.
@@gushananai am second gen as well but I also have those high standards that I can't achieve. I can't imagine how high the standards are in mainland china where you go to school with like 50 kids in your class, being the best and standing out becomes absolutely essential, and not being able to achieve that might result in you not receiving good education or a good job.
This reminds me of Jinkx Monsoon in season 5. I do'nt think they're mind games, I truly think she's a perfectionist and has lots of anxiety and fear of underperforming
I mean, i kinda understand Nymphia anxiety because its a presentation challenge and english its not her primary language, so it could be a disadvantaje on this kind of challenges
Yeah, Nymphia isn’t really getting the same underdog edit as Jinkx. I think because Nymphia is so much more polished as far as looks, make up and branding. In your twenties, in this kind of high pressure environment that makes it breaks a career, it’s natural to be stressed. Goodness knows the older wiser Sephira panicked and drank her immunity for no good reason. But when we’re seeing this edit, and it’s so obvious that she’s doing amazing, her appearing this worried and listening so closely to an inner saboteur so obviously talking bullshit, kinda just comes off as a lack of self awareness and awareness of her position in the competition that’s either baffling or disingenuous. Thats the edit, anyway…
I think she keeps her cards close to her chest (ex. Being a good dancer, being a designer, etc.) but I also feel that she genuinely is a perfectionist and doubts herself
No it's not. Don't generalize all asians. And this is such a cliché that only hack asian comedians keep bringing it up. As an asian, I do also find it funny that the other asian people who call themselves perfectionists are very mediocre.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfrommeI think that’s because. Coming from their homes even when they are mediocre their parents expect too much from them when they know they aren’t that great. I don’t think Nymphia plays mind games. She isn’t Willow. Nymphia knows her strength and plays to it’s she can’t brag about she can do and the mess it up. And on a show where girls like Plane and Saphirra keeps saying it’s not a place to learn she needs to always be great. Mind you she’s going against great talented people who always never seem nervous during challenges so it will be a little scary. She’s a look queen so writing and comedy are a little nerve recking for girls like that. This feels like season 5 when the girls came for Jinkxx
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme It is actually very more common than u think in asians regardless. The reason being is cause alot of east asians that had been affected by the war back in 1940s ish. That is many grandparents and parents affected by that and hate crime when many of us migrated from the East to Western societies. The reason being alot of us are “perfectionists” is bc expectation, having the need to have “thick skin” is what mainly and alot of the time what only what many of our ppls had to hold onto for survival, living or moving on. War ain’t right. Trauma gets inherited and passed onto generation. I don’t like to bring this kinda ish up.. But ofc not *all* asians are perfectionists. But the expectations, strictness, and “stereotypical” traits or tendencies that are shown in asian households or culture. Alot of these things are impacted from society and its history with its people. Just trying to bring in light and some more info on why it seems like it’s a “joke” but at same time “true” many folks, it won’t be. But for many more I feel personally being asian myself. We do carry alot of expectations within us as many others who aren’t do as well. It’s just bc of culture and how many are raised. And ngl the Eastern culture IS very strict!!! Many kids work past 12 hours a day just for school from Junior High/ High School all the way up to finding a job in adulthoods, it’s honestly too much imho
Lmao you are coping for her so hard, she doesn’t have any extreme anxiety. She’s just that kid in class that is scared for a test they know they are gonna get and have getting A’s on. She cried in every design challenge then turned out a top 3 look every time. She is just sneaky
@@trehairston1840two things can be true at once. She can be exceptionally talented and still suffer from anxiety. Why is it so hard for people to accept that others also complex emotions lmao
She also said she wants the queens to underestimate her so now the queens think everytime she does this it’s to throw them off. It’s become like the boy who cried wolf
@@gravities and I think in a competition setting it’s starting to confuse the girls so they don’t know what to believe anymore. Hence why Sapphira said she was playing mind games.
@@jasoneng5627 It’s not really confusing cause she already said in their faces that she gets anxious a lot and that’s part of her process. The girls have a selective memory for her.

The queens said Dawn's good hearted and they can always tell when she’s joking… Plane though… All of them (with exception of Nhympia) are on bad terms with her.
@@user-bz7qg5xw6hjesus christ u plane fans are insufferable. no one is cancelling her, dramatic ass. she’s just annoying as hell and her reads come from the snarkiest and seemingly genuine place. katya is rude, but not rude rude, funny rude.
I used to be a kid who excelled in school. When I would try to tell people about my anxieties and my fears about not doing good, they would dismiss my very legitimate concerns all because I've done well in the past... and that hurts. Maybe the girls could consider that when it comes to Nym❤❤
Your feelings don’t legitimise inconsiderate behaviour.. you have to take responsibility for the negative energy you bring into the room and find other ways to deal with your anxiety
This. When you're so so anxious and letting that inner saboteur take over, you don't see anything clearly. And when people are dismissive of your own anxieties and concerns, it feeds into it more. Because then the perfectionism is so much more crippling. I can see why it could be annoying to the other girls, but literally just ignore her then. Don't put her down even more because she's already doing an insane job of putting herself down.
@@johnnysimon7696 hugging everyone bc ur anxious is inconsiderate?? im sorry should i j take an ambien and forget abt my feelings until the challenge tf
Nymphia is not playing mind games. She just pulls it together when its time to deliver. Like in college when u are scrambling to write that paper day before its due and u get an A. Plus Nymphia should have won for best dressed.❤
@@l.b.2592 Compared the other 11 weeks, I think the scales are clearly tipped one way :P plus not everyone is a sailor like Bianca! But they can still manipulate if they've got the goods.
I can relate to Nymphia. I'm the type of person to hardcore panic, doubt my skills, and freak out before a due date, even if I know that I'll do perfectly fine. My mind just blanks at first, which is still terrifying even if I know it'll come to me later. Now imagine having that on an international TV show in a high-pressure place where you're literally trapped until the end and production could screw you over at a moment's notice. I could never.
i hate how they're calling it "mind games". i think she genuinely struggles in the challenges, it's just that she always finds a way to make it work. calling it mind games is so invalidating
after this week ep I understand Nymphia more ... its not mind games, she really believes she gonna flop .. she struggles a lot with being self confident, its so sad that everyone is seeing how AMAZING she is but herself.
I can see it from both sides. While I do think that Nymphia might be a perfectionist and is probably genuinely anxious about challenges, I also think in a competition setting it can be very difficult to deal with that especially being in a group with someone cause it starts to affect your teammates as well.
Honestly Nymphia's fear seems real, she's a perfectionist and sees every single mistake and worries about everything and worries she'll flop every time
I can’t blame her, growing up the people that are supposed to support you can make you feel/believe that you’re not good at anything, those insecurities affect you as an adult and in your mind you‘re constantly thinking you will fail, even when you’re doing a great job.
I have intense self-doubt doing any work but will often get praised 4 the result. I know y some1 high-performing would act the way Nymphia does. It just makes it easier 2 accept when u do flop or just not up 2 standard. I can imagine after Snatch Game Nymphia thought, “least I prepared myself 4 that.” It’s just much easier 2B proud of urself after knowing u succeeded. It’s easier 2 acknowledge ur talent when u have relief. It’s not uncommon 2 feel like “I have the skills 2 rlly slay this but what if I don’t? I don’t even know what 2 do.”
Finely they let all their behind the back thoughts of her go out. About time . Nymphia is like: "I know I'm passive aggressive but I didn't know they know it" 😂
she's 100% doing it as strategy... there's a very common saying in Chinese .. the strongest wind cannot be seen.. she's been playing that wind the whole time
Or ya know... Being Asian makes you a perfectionist that hypercriticizes yourself for the smallest mistakes cos that's how we were conditioned to think
im glad to see everyone sees through the edit for nymphia. also poor judge of character bc i truly don't think shes strategic in that way😭 she doesn't brag about what she's good at but i think its only bc she seems to aim for perfection
Nymph kinda reminded me of my best friend attitude, always say she's gonna do bad, just "safe" or just doing this for "fun" when she always slay and won. I think its perfectionism and their competitive nature...
I think while they can be “games” I used to get anxiety a LOT especially when it comes to things I’m good at. It’s the pressure to keep performing well and keep pushing, so by saying you didn’t do well it’s a coping mechanism to expect for the worse like a safety blanket that helps you feel like “oh I expected that”. I’m not sure if that’s nymphias thing since she does take a lot of pride in her drag but I will say even now, when I know my strengths well I still fall back into this pattern quite a lot, which is understandably quite rattling in a competition.
If you actually put yourself in their position, you'll be surprised too; It is because Nymphia's projection is hysterical, panicking, anxious and no evidence of focus whenever she's with the girls. When she gets back to her hotel, that's where the magic happens.
As an Asian I can relate 100% to Nymphia, I guess it’s not a mind game but more like anxiety because in life our parents demand perfection from us and if we can’t deliver we feel so bad about that 😿 😭 😢
@@michaeltheodore3051 GURL that's hilarious when it's you who made it about it race since you're the one who actually brought it up by saying "race card". Funny how that is. Gurl you're the one who flopped. And you made it about race when your first 3 words are "As an Asian".
And before you deleted my comment, no one is playing the race card except you Gurl. I mean given you started your comment with "As an Asian." But go off sis.
you can absolutely see nypmhia stopping herself from smirking. it's like "oh shit the jig is up, but i still need to act like this aint my strategy at all"
LMFAO Nymphia is so typically Taiwanese! We never feel confident in the first place but we always end up well😂 it’s not mind game it’s just the way we Asian are😅
The thing about mind game is she tricks somebody, which she doesn't. That's why I find this convo is quite weird because she doesn't fool anybody. She just wants to convince herself that she can do it.
People just dont get it. I was terrified of getting below 95% in my filippino, mandarin, mandarin math class because when me and my fellow tutormates got low 90s and 80s our tutors would smack our hands with meter sticks. I dont know if it's still a thing. But at the time I literally thought of killing myself over low marks. Chinese tutors can be brutal, especially when you go to an exclusive private school. I can see Nymphia going through this, so I get it. This was around 2001-2004 when I was 6-10 yearsold before moving abroad. It's not cool they're faulting her freaking out over some challenges. It's valid. I still do this. Sometimes it just shuts you down, and you just want to hit your head on the wall.
I know people who react to stress like Nymphia and after a while they need to keep that shit to themselves because they end up over stressing themselves and those around them
Nymphia is amazing and everybody is defending her but she literally said in her Meet the queens interview “im here to confuse the queens let them understimate me and then be like “I didnt know you could do that””. So yes, there is a little of mind games here
She's just not confident in herself. She's anxious and she's probably her worst judge. Just because she does well doesn't mean she can't be scared or worried. Idk but coming from an Asian household, I feel like nothing is ever good enough and she might have been raised like that too.
Id be nervous too, even if i felt talented at drag stuff, cause drag race seems like such an insane experience where you never know what is going to happen. I dont think she would intentionally scare or play mind games with her own teammate
The gag is really played out by now. She literally says that every single episode. I totally check out when she says that during her confessionals now.
I’m Japanese and I swear to god the stress around my mom screaming at me to perfect and complete everything to the highest degree or else “I was gonna die” made me exactly likes this. My uni friends would ask me how I keep such a high score in my classes and I said “I must have everything finished 2 days before the due date so I can clean and perfect the finished result or else I’m gonna die.” Like stressing myself out is the process to everything in my life for the last 2 decades, I’m working on a healthier tactic though
Im asian, we are like that, we raised that way, where do you think are you doctor yet joke come from ? We always scare to underperform and humility is a must. Everytime.
Welcome to Asian culture. We play mind games in front like "omg we're not good we're stupid" but in reality we know what we're doing. This is called self-protection from CRAB MENTALITY. Those who are best are the easy targets. Those who are (pretend) weak can glide and slide their way without much distractions.
I might be wrong but I feel like it's a very asian thing to do😅. As a South Asian myself, everyone I grew up with, we all did this ourselves but always got really annoyed when other ppl would do it in front of us. "Oh I'm gonna fail! I know it 😭". But I'm also a veeeerrrryyyy anxious person so idk. Also, isn't it interesting that both Nymphia n Sapphira drank the immunity potion the week they did good but thought they might land in the bottom. N these r the two queens we know r gonna be the final two.😄
This explains along with natural skill why growing up I was a perfectionist pianist and instrumentalist…my piano teacher was Chinese! It turns out though it’s also just a trait of pianists. But she passed her a Chinese culture in to me in my training.

I’m not sure if that’s nymphias thing since she does take a lot of pride in her drag but I will say even now, when I know my strengths well I still fall back into this pattern quite a lot, which is understandably quite rattling in a competition.
dawn is such a sneaky underhanded queen tho the way she phrases it is adorable. q and plane just look PRESSED when they complain lololol
Morphines makeup tho 😍
If you actually put yourself in their position, you'll be surprised too; It is because Nymphia's projection is hysterical, panicking, anxious and no evidence of focus whenever she's with the girls. When she gets back to her hotel, that's where the magic happens.
As an Asian I can relate 100% to Nymphia, I guess it’s not a mind game but more like anxiety because in life our parents demand perfection from us and if we can’t deliver we feel so bad about that 😿 😭 😢
But she knew what she was signing up for when she auditioned.
@@michaeltheodore3051 GURL that's hilarious when it's you who made it about it race since you're the one who actually brought it up by saying "race card". Funny how that is. Gurl you're the one who flopped. And you made it about race when your first 3 words are "As an Asian".
@@boiri go away this is my comment section, if you have your opinion please make your own , flopped queen bye
And before you deleted my comment, no one is playing the race card except you Gurl. I mean given you started your comment with "As an Asian." But go off sis.
you can absolutely see nypmhia stopping herself from smirking. it's like "oh shit the jig is up, but i still need to act like this aint my strategy at all"
LMFAO
Nymphia is so typically Taiwanese! We never feel confident in the first place but we always end up well😂 it’s not mind game it’s just the way we Asian are😅
Morphine looks like a million bucks
Morphine painted for the gods - literal perfection 👼
This cast is the most gorgeous we have had in a long time
I feel Nymphia, and this is a total misunderstanding, I feel sorry for her being read this way.
nymphia was the only one that made me laugh this week. the rest of the jokes were just .... meehhh ....
Awe I love how glittery the first queen's face is ✨️✨️✨️
She’s cerebral, and gets into her own head a lot every step of the way until she has something ready
Look at morphines face for a good day
Holy cow that's a lot of glitter 🤣
The last laugh with a side of bubble tea with extra boba.
The thing about mind game is she tricks somebody, which she doesn't. That's why I find this convo is quite weird because she doesn't fool anybody. She just wants to convince herself that she can do it.
People just dont get it. I was terrified of getting below 95% in my filippino, mandarin, mandarin math class because when me and my fellow tutormates got low 90s and 80s our tutors would smack our hands with meter sticks. I dont know if it's still a thing. But at the time I literally thought of killing myself over low marks. Chinese tutors can be brutal, especially when you go to an exclusive private school. I can see Nymphia going through this, so I get it. This was around 2001-2004 when I was 6-10 yearsold before moving abroad.
It's not cool they're faulting her freaking out over some challenges. It's valid. I still do this. Sometimes it just shuts you down, and you just want to hit your head on the wall.
I know people who react to stress like Nymphia and after a while they need to keep that shit to themselves because they end up over stressing themselves and those around them
Sapphira’s mug and the hair it’s so beautiful
Nymphia is amazing and everybody is defending her but she literally said in her Meet the queens interview “im here to confuse the queens let them understimate me and then be like “I didnt know you could do that””. So yes, there is a little of mind games here
Beautiful Queens❤❤❤❤
What a strong season tho
Nymphia was definitely playing mind games and she did good job because she won
The muggggg of morphine ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The face sparkles, I can’t😍
I love how Nymphia didn't bother arguing. She put her money where her mouth was. 😂
She's just not confident in herself. She's anxious and she's probably her worst judge. Just because she does well doesn't mean she can't be scared or worried. Idk but coming from an Asian household, I feel like nothing is ever good enough and she might have been raised like that too.
Id be nervous too, even if i felt talented at drag stuff, cause drag race seems like such an insane experience where you never know what is going to happen. I dont think she would intentionally scare or play mind games with her own teammate
And THAT’s why anxiety is terrifying but can ALSO make you ✨ shine ✨
Morphine’s makeup 😩🙌🏻
It’s definitely her artistic process 😭 I freak out before every show them usually do a good job
its like willow on 14 during the lip sync battle
I mean its better than saying you're good at something and flopping...
I’m so mad they didn’t have a reunion episode ….. the episode PJ wins another week 😂🤣
Dawn and Plane fighting for that top villain title
Dawns lip is so cool and detailed, i loved her look this week
The gag is really played out by now. She literally says that every single episode. I totally check out when she says that during her confessionals now.
i like that one queen's sparkle face
Girl morphine is a painter, she’s insanely talented at makeup. Beautiful for real I’m kinda obsessed
looks like ppl don't know how ppl that REALLY have anxiety behave and feels, it's pretty obvious that nymphia is anxious n shy specially out of drag
I’m Japanese and I swear to god the stress around my mom screaming at me to perfect and complete everything to the highest degree or else “I was gonna die” made me exactly likes this. My uni friends would ask me how I keep such a high score in my classes and I said “I must have everything finished 2 days before the due date so I can clean and perfect the finished result or else I’m gonna die.” Like stressing myself out is the process to everything in my life for the last 2 decades, I’m working on a healthier tactic though
Im asian, we are like that, we raised that way, where do you think are you doctor yet joke come from ? We always scare to underperform and humility is a must. Everytime.
Godddd the GLITTER SETTING SPRAY IS EVERYTHING
Anxiety does not go away with success. Its a mental illness 😂
Off topic but Sapphira is so gorgeous
She’s doing it right. “Don’t let competition know your next move”
THRILLED that Sapphira called this out.
Welcome to Asian culture. We play mind games in front like "omg we're not good we're stupid" but in reality we know what we're doing.
This is called self-protection from CRAB MENTALITY. Those who are best are the easy targets. Those who are (pretend) weak can glide and slide their way without much distractions.
I might be wrong but I feel like it's a very asian thing to do😅. As a South Asian myself, everyone I grew up with, we all did this ourselves but always got really annoyed when other ppl would do it in front of us. "Oh I'm gonna fail! I know it 😭". But I'm also a veeeerrrryyyy anxious person so idk.
Also, isn't it interesting that both Nymphia n Sapphira drank the immunity potion the week they did good but thought they might land in the bottom. N these r the two queens we know r gonna be the final two.😄
This explains along with natural skill why growing up I was a perfectionist pianist and instrumentalist…my piano teacher was Chinese! It turns out though it’s also just a trait of pianists. But she passed her a Chinese culture in to me in my training.
Nina Bonina would say “sue me” haha
You should’ve been a judge for this episode!! ❤
