It’s wild how I spent the entire game expecting a forced romance subplot between Chai and Peppermint- one that would culminate in an awkward kiss - only for the game to pleasantly surprise me by letting them just be friends.
And then the game hit me with an emotional suplex with THIS:
THEY’RE SO IN LOVE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASDHGLHGFLJGHDSAFGDHASDJFGLJSADGFJHSADGFAGDGFJGJH
Draw 4 Ships: Pride Edition | Peppermint Patty x Marcie 🩴🥜👓
Let’s not play lovers games, Chuck!
Third of 4 ships: Peppermint Patty x Marcie x Charlie Brown. No but fr imagine my surprise when I found out that Marcie canonically has a thing for Charlie Brown lol
Ok, picture it: the Peanuts gang are older now, and the constance of Marcie calling Patty “sir” has lead to a genderfluid awakening. Not only that! While the two still have a thing for Charles/Chuck/Charlie Brown, they’ve also finally eventually fallen for each other. This is essentially the Betty & Veronica triad scenario the people have been waiting for, except their sending Charlie metamour applications. While I always knew I wanted to make them polyam to fit the storyline, I decided to incorporate my own polyromantic identity into it for the play on word. (Get this: the yellow heart in the speech bubble was there before I knew about the updated polyam flag. Honestly my mind...)
Watch the speed paint here and follow me on Instagram to see which pair is coming next!
Thinkin about names and how to me they're kinda like clothes, some I would not be caught dead in, some are like, fine, but they don't really fit, some are like those old sort of worn out shirts with sewn up holes in the sleeves that fit comfortably around you for years and years, and sometimes your whole style changes and it's time for something new. And it's not necessarily like that old comfortable shirt is gone, it's still there and cozy if you want it, but right now you have this new thing that fits better. And sometimes you change your style a lot, and that's okay. Sometimes you get comfortable in one style and stay that way for a long time, and that's okay too.
I don't care which version of candy land you grew up with, Mr Mint is gay. I don't make the rules! But seriously that man has not a single straight bone in his body, like look at him!
Peppermint, or Miss Peppermint, is an American actress, singer, songwriter, television personality, drag queen, and activist from New York City. She is best known from the nightlife scene and, in 2017, as the runner-up on the ninth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. In 2018 Peppermint made her debut in The Go-Go’s-inspired musical Head Over Heels as Pythio, becoming Broadway’s first out trans woman to originate a lead role. She does not use her birth name, and asks that publications not deadname her.
Peppermint started performing as a child in youth theatre, playing roles at Opera Delaware, Delaware Children’s Theatre, and The Brandywiners Community Theatre. She continued performing at Wilmington High School where she was also on the cheerleading team.
Peppermint moved to New York City to study musical theatre at AMDA. While in college she got a job at the nightclub Tunnel’s Kurfew parties, ultimately becoming a fixture in New York City nightlife. She started recording music in 2005 for Jonny McGovern’s mixtape Jonny McGovern Presents: This is NYC, Bitch! The East Village Mixtape. She contributed the song “Servin’ It Up”, which was produced by Adam Joseph. The song was later released as Peppermint’s debut single in 2006.
Peppermint was featured in the web series Queens of Drag: NYC by gay.com in 2010. The series featured fellow New York drag queens Bianca Del Rio, Dallas DuBois, Hedda Lettuce, Lady Bunny, Mimi Imfurst, and Sherry Vine. She also appeared as a drag-version of Tyra Banks on America’s Next Top Model Cycle 14, Episode 5: “Smile and Pose” introducing a drag-theme runway challenge at Lucky Chengs in New York City.
Peppermint talked about being trans publicly for the first time on an episode of The Daily Show called “The Trans Panic Epidemic” in April 2016.
On February 2, 2017, Peppermint was announced as one of the fourteen contestants on the ninth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Though other transgender women have competed on RuPaul’s Drag Race, she was the first to have come out prior to the show airing, having come out in 2012.
She won the Roast Challenge in episode 8. She placed in the bottom two in two challenges, lip-synching to Madonna’s “Music” and the Village People’s “Macho Man”, winning both. Her performances earned her the favorable nickname “Lip Sync Assassin”. Ultimately, she finished in second place after winner Sasha Velour, after they both lip-synced to Whitney Houston’s “It’s Not Right but It’s Okay”.
Peppermint’s debut studio album Hardcore Glamour was self-released in 2009 and preceded by the singles “Servin’ It Up” and “Thought Ya Knew”. In 2011, Sherry Vine and Peppermint released a parody of the Lady Gaga and Beyoncé song “Telephone” titled “Make Me Moan”. Following the viral success of the music video, Peppermint later released other parody songs, including a parody of Azealia Banks’ song “212”, titled “21/12”. Her song “If I Steal Your Boyfriend” was used in the 2011 film Eating Out 5: The Open Weekend.
On April 3, 2017, Peppermint released a six-track EP of remixes of various songs she had released up to that point, including the single “Dolla in My Titty”. Her second studio album Black Pepper was released in June of the same year. A three-song EP with producer Cazwell called Blend was released in 2018. In 2019, Peppermint appeared on fellow Drag Race alum Trinity The Tuck’s single “I Call Shade”, which charted at number 13 on the Billboard Comedy Digital Tracks chart.
On February 11, 2020, it was announced that Peppermint was working on a new album, and the lead single “What You’re Looking For” was released on February 14, 2020. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on August 28, 2020, Peppermint stated that the album would in fact be a trilogy of EPs, and that a full studio album was previously planned for a May 2020 release, but was delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The first of these EPs, A Girl Like Me: Letters to My Lovers, will be released on October 16, 2020, with the lead single “Best Sex” being released on October 2. Of the project, she said “it really does focus on my life – who I am as a trans woman – and everything that’s happening right now [with] Black Lives Matter, Black Trans Lives Matter and a lot of the issues that we are dealing with socially.” She also confirmed that the project would feature collaborations with Laith Ashley, Jerome Bell, Daniel Shevlin of Well-Strung, Matt Katz-Bohen of Blondie, Corey Tut and Adam Joseph.
The EP garnered Peppermint a nomination for Outstanding Music Artist at the 2021 GLAAD Media Awards.
Peppermint made her Broadway debut in The Go-Go’s-inspired musical Head Over Heels using the songs of The Go-Go’s. The plot of the show is somewhat based on The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia written by Sir Philip Sidney in the 16th century. The show began previews in June 2018 and officially opened July 2018, at the Hudson Theatre; playing the role of Pythio, Peppermint became the first trans woman to originate a principal role on Broadway.
Peppermint has had appearances on Pose and Saturday Night Live, and in October 2019 played the role of Pastor Olivia, “the [transgender] leader of an LGBTQ-friendly congregation”, in a two-episode arc of God Friended Me.
From 2019-2020, she co-hosted It’s a Mess podcast with Cazwell.
Peppermint is a co-founder of Black Queer Town Hall along with Bob The Drag Queen. The inaugural event featured speakers such as Laverne Cox and Angela Davis and raised over $270,000 for The Okra Project.
On June 2, 2021, Peppermint was announced as a cast member of OUTtv’s Call Me Mother, where her and fellow “Drag Mothers” Crystal and Barbada adopt and mentor up-and-coming drag talent over an 8-week journey as they compete to win the title of “First Child Of Drag” and a $50,000 prize package. In the show, Peppermint will be representing the House of Dulcet.
