is it blasphemous to prefer adam's butterfly over his backflip (or any back flip in general)

for singles though I mean.. there's some reasons being reasoned... like yuma's I wish stsq would single-handedly convince me to become his fan if I saw it for the first time rn. I think that's why it took me 1 performance to become a jun fan as well it's just skating realness

as someone who is always a big fan of good stsq first and foremost (and then after that, probably spins) I feel like misha is my outlier who's on the jump spectrum but shaido is just someone I can't help but root for idk what to say. I mean. I still root for shun too so idk 😭

how could he outlive hana yoshida... and potentially loena. the world is crazy

“She ended her career in the best possible way [...] that sort of thing doesn’t just happen. I believe it’s because everyone knows how wonderful Kaori-chan’s character and personality are. I’ve always wanted to be that sort of athlete and person myself.”

ppl bout to fight if shun or if misha should be the panda and why, etc. I would laugh

fstwt discourse I have in mind for the off season: if ppl take on more idol culture then what what be everyone's representative emoji and why? not a serious question but I burst out laughing the other day seeing a chef get quoted in a interview with the italian flag as his 💀

another one for the family album .. also plus points for nikita holding karina and maria’s bags

I knew they wouldn't review the scores but seeing confirmation of it is still... lol like yeah they absolutely benefited from judging calls in the past but they were also within their rights to request a review both can exist

I take this back I welcome the retirement of certain ice dancing teams but knowing my luck it will happen but only for teams that I don't want to see go

no news is good news hope to have a quiet and peaceful off season... but skeptical on whether that will happen

oh i love them that’s my family

btw it astounds me that march cladness did not become kaori vs kaori ik it was close on both accounts but still insane

if Evan continues to be on the isu athletes commission mean that his career continues to outlive

sometimes I feel like if the drinking wasn't a factor (alcohol is banned in training camps, facilities, or at comps) then there wouldn't have been a push to manufacture a lean where C gets off scot free bc the disparity between what was reported and what happened is rlly smth 😅

it's also crazy and telling to me that haein gets 10x more negative attention than someone like selevbro... not saying we should weigh one person's questionable behaviour as better than another's but there's two reasons why that happens (misogyny) (it's not about what she did)

I dream of a world where every time I have to see someone retire, it comes after they smile brightly and say they have no regrets.. it's so rare to see and I'm glad it could happen to someone who truly deserved an amazing send off before the next part of her journey starts 😭😭😭

@plunderphone yeah... I guess because they won worlds and euros? but even then it's a bit of an odd concept. I feel like things like standings + results can absolutely be a factor but if you're gonna call it "skater of the year" then overall impact (hard to quantify) should play a part too

@junplusplus i think it's just really really dumb how the award is supposedly calculated esp in an olys year like rikuryu went basically undefeated but bc they didn't show up at a post olys world the award apparently goes to fbc

it's so crazy to see wave after wave of hate towards her for being friends w/ him when he is so clearly interested in maintaining that relationship too 😭 like dang maybe he wants to do all that and that's his choice... I wouldn't make that choice but he continues to do so, so...
