Existing in more than one fandom space is like having more than one group of friends but both of them being so wildly different that any overlap at all would be like getting shot in the head

#like there are things that I would consider writing for House MD or Saw but not for Lord of the Rings you know #Same goes for reading #it's like how you have two personalities for your friend groups #and you make a joke that would absolutely score in friend group A #but friend group B just stares at you weird #like in LOTR or The Hobbit fandom I am so used to gentleness and care all around #Characters that love each other against the odds #but with House it's like #yeah these two men hate each other with everything they're worth #yeah they're so codependent that they would literally die for each other #yeah they have freaknasty sex on the regular #yeah i would talk for hours about their omegaverse dynamic #then saw is kind of similar to House in a few ways but fundamentally different because the love there is borne from such tragedy #or in AUs it's love at first sight #and you have these two men who are so so so different #and want desperately to take care of each other #THOSE DYNAMICS DON'T WORK FOR HOUSE OR FOR THE HOBBIT #I would never write House and Wilson lovey-dovey and caring just like I would never write Thorin and Bilbo engaging in pet-play #Anyway. anyway. #hilson #house md #thilbo #the hobbit #Saw #sawposting #chainshipping #fandom

Why Yuuri (before 2017) should not be allowed to write an autobiography

Okay, to those who might not follow figure skating as closely, I just need to point out that Yuuri, despite what he insists (unreliable narrator), did not do badly in the Sochi GPF.

We know from the flashback in episode 5 that Yuuri during his free skate fell on at least two of his jumps and touched down on one and it can be assumed he didn't do too well on his others. He says in episode 4 that he falls on jumps and makes up the gap with Program Component Scores (how artistic it was) which can also be seen on the protocol from his short program where his PCS is higher than his Technical Element Score (how technically sound it was). This is not how those scores usually relate except in certain cases (see Jason Brown, also known for his high PCS and (relatively) low TES though this is by choice).

This is Yuuri's short program protocol. If you don't know how to read this then all you need to know is that his total score was 82.80, 40.42 of that being TES and 42.38 being PCS.

Now, to relate that to the real world, in the 2015 Grand Prix Final, Daisuke Murakami scored a total of 235.49, scoring 83.47 in his short program and 152.02 in his free skate and placing 6th. As we can see, that's pretty darn close to Yuuri's score (82.80 in the short, 149.79 in the free, 232.59 total) and I would not be surprised if they were inspired by his scores since they're also PCS centric.

Sidenote: Looking at Yuuri's PCS here and comparing them to Murakami's, Yuuri's are higher, not having anything lower than 8.00. Based on the fact that he was likely very off-kilter, I'd say this is still a very respectable score (duh, Yuuri just can't accept that he's good). Boyang Jin who took 3rd in the short, 5th overall in the 2015 GPF had way lower PCS scores.

Anyway, here's Murakami's free skate protocol.

Murakami has 8 jumping passes in his free, 7 of which he lands with a two-footed landing on one and a stepout on another. He only falls ass on ice like Yuuri does once on his second quadruple salchow (which was supposed to be a combination. The << and REP are explained at the bottom of the protocol). He does not touch down at any point. Otherwise his jumps look fine to me, most of them barely having any ice spray and only his 3Lz+1Lo+2S combination getting a warning for an unclear edge.

If you don't know, falling is (kind of) the worst mistake you can make on a jump and the judges are required to both give a certain negative GEO (grade of execution) and a deduction of 1 point. Other mess-ups just give negative GEOs.

Murakami's FS score is 73.26 TES and 79.76 PCS which would mean Yuuri's scores are likely very similar. But he fell on two jumps, not one meaning his PCS would likely have been higher to make up the difference.

And if Yuuri's insinuation that he flubbed all his jumps in some manner is true (which I find highly unlikely, have some confidence) and he missed elements by either popping (opening too early which costs rotations but saves you from a fall) or just not doing them, his PCS would have needed to be even higher to make up for that.

Missing elements, like popping a double, triple or quadruple axel into a single (at least one double is required), results in that element not being counted at all. Zero. Zip. Nada. You get nothing for it if you can't make up for it later in the program. Even falling on a jump is better because that's at least a few points. So if that happened, he'd have a big gap to make up with his PCS.

To sum up: with everything that could have gone wrong for Yuuri, this is still a very good score, even on the international scene. And to highlight that, Murakami is happy when he finishes, even fist pumping.

And yes, there was still that 103.17 point gap between Yuuri and Viktor which is the same (okay, 94.95) for Murakami and Yuzuru Hanyu who took gold in the 2015 GPF. But, and I cannot stress this enough, Hanyu broke 3 world records with that score meaning Viktor likely did as well. No wait, scratch that, I know he did because Hanyu's score was 330.43 which Viktor beat by 5.33 points. Of course it's not going to be even close, are you kidding me?

Looking at the World Championships in 2016, Yuuri would, with that 232.59 score, still have taken 11th place. He'd have taken 16th in 2023 and that's with a single quad (I don't trust his quad salchow yet) in the age of quads (and that quad being the one with the lowest base value). I'm positive he'd have been able to do a Jason Brown whose PC scores are so good that he in 2023 placed 5th without a single quad and would have placed 3rd in 2016. Now, take that and throw Yuuri's quad toe loop and some confidence in there and you've got a Worlds podium finish before the series even starts.

And then in the season the show is in, he has his quad toe loop, quad salchow and quad flip. He might even have gotten the quad loop down in the 3.5 months between the Barcelona GFP and Worlds. I definitely see a world champion on the next level (if they'd give us it >:[ )

And scores always get higher over time, the world record having gone from Hanyu's 330.46 in 2015 to Nathan Chen's 335.30 in 2019 still standing in 2023 which is still less than Viktor's Sochi GFP score (335.76) (yes, the system has changed since 2015 but it's close enough that it doesn't really matter in this context. Viktor is OP no matter what).

Really, the fact that Yuuri's in the GFP at all should be all we need to know that he's insanely good. It might not technically be Worlds but my stars, Yuuri, it does basically make you 6th in the world.

BE. PROUD.

#trust me i love an unreliable narrator but would you please look at the facts yuuri #that was your first grand prix final of fucking course youre not going to get viktor scores he was 34.30 points ahead of second place #especially not when the man still holds the irl world record 7 seasons later #im sorry but i get that they wanted viktor to be stupidly op but like that post about how insane stammi vicino is #the scores in this show are bonkers #they definitely succeeded in making him op #yuri on ice #yoi #yuri on ice meta #yoi meta #yuuri katsuki #katsuki yuuri #arom antix

Hi. How's about prince!Steve and knight!Eddie?

Of all the things you’ve had to endure at this gods-forsaken tournament for your hand, the most debasing and demeaning by far is being forced to fraternize with the spoiled, arrogant, rogue Prince Harrington. Your father has all but rigged the games in his favour, hoping that your marriage will hasten an alliance with his father’s neighboring kingdom, shoring up the West and consolidating the power of both families.

With all of these men scheming to win you like some sort of prize sow, the only bright spot in your life is that of your oldest friend and the head of your Royal Guard, Ser Edward.

Seemingly the only man left you can trust.

But when the Prince catches you sneaking away from a banquet, presumably to escape a dance with him…again…he follows you and offers an inventive solution to your mutual troubles.

If the two of you pretend to form an attachment, perchance that will suffice to call off the tourney entirely. Only so long as the others believe they have a chance will they continue to compete.

You will be free of the torment of courtship, and if Stephen’s father the King is convinced of his son’s heartbreak when your “romance” ends, perhaps he will be granted permission to abscond to the Southern Isles.

Meanwhile, a mysterious Black Knight has arrived to compete for your hand in place of a Lord of a distant land. He never shows his face, never shows any part of himself besides a brief flash of alabaster skin. But as he wins joust after joust, offering you an ebony rose after every foe he unhorses, there is something familiar about him that stirs up a feeling deep within you.

How can that be when he is a stranger?

title: where there is darkness pairing: dean/cas tags: historical au, angst with a happy ending, slow burn, h/c

Maine, 1951: When Castiel Milton takes a job to be the new assistant keeper at Whaleback Lighthouse, he expects to live out his new life in quiet isolation away from civilization. What he gets instead is Dean Winchester: bitter, brash, and, like Castiel, harboring a dark secret. As the spark of attraction between them grows into a flame, the lighthouse walls start closing in—as do the ghosts of Dean and Castiel's checkered pasts.

Chapter 3 (in which Dean and Cas continue to butt heads, and some clues about Cas's past are revealed)

What are your top 3 nhl teams with the best vibes?

ooh ok. yea. fun. love this. im going to declare all my biases upfront: im a pens, bruins & wild fan so obviously my nr 1 is:

minny

they have flower. they have kaprizov. they go on homoerotic little holidays together. they have two deweys and one foligno. their captain is pretty and everyone is short. every game is somehow embarrassing. even if they win. especially if they win. 11/10 cant lose.

nr 2: philly

i dont follow them or root for them but i will have nightmares about the dog mask every day for the rest of my life. also they made drysdale come hang out w them during the all star break and that was cute. also the conga line. hardass coach but we stay silly. 9/10 solid vibes.

nr 3: yotes

jason zucker lives there.

#bruins have the goalies ofc #but the ghost of christmas past still kinda hangs over that team and also they like to play soúper frustrating games #that go on for 4 hours and where I feel like I might die the entire time #captain rat gets + for vibes but then 2023 sadbrad hug kills it. if krejc and bergy were still on this team they'd make the top 3 #pens ofc dont make the list despite sunshine boy poj and the fact that erik brings the silly every day #theyre too much of a Serious Old Man Team #bonus points for the silliest own goal in the history of the franchise. points withdrawn for cookie injury i miss him so bad #anne carson asks why does tragedy exist #answer: because old men #because love. because brittle bones and traumatic head injuries. #last year i probably would've answered Seattle #Detroit at the beginning of this season but they um. made some poor hiring choices. rotten rancid vibes now im very sorry for your loss #Edmonton would've gotten a high score from me at the beginning of the season not because the vibes were good but because they were #without a doubt #the most miserable team in the league and i found that to be soooo interesting and fun #How Will The Oilers Lose Next #but theyre good again now so that's less exciting for me #montreal honourable mention for the short slutty guy #love him

no im still so unwell over this??? vince scribbled out the criticism of rody in the review of the bistro. help

Nooooo but literally. How he immediately discredits any bad word against Rody! It defo made me more convinced that the reason the party ended was because Rody's ex classmate made fun of Rody (and it is mentioned by one of the guests that Vincent can hear Rody very clearly from over there, there's no way he didn't notice that whole scene). I do wonder exactly what was said, since he's not afraid to be brutal to anyone that's not Rody.

If a customer ever treated Rody like shit in the typical way customers act towards service workers I don't think Vince would be too happy lmao. POV: you treated your waiter like shit and now some white french man who smells like an ash tray starts glaring daggers at you.

Come look at my smiling deranged blorbo!

#dead plate #limon answers #seriously he's so... #his ass was never gonna fire Rody for shitty service. Why the fuck did I redo all the days to get perfect scores??????? orz #thought I'd lose the game but Vince is like kicking his feet and staring intensely at Rody (in love) #I was stressed!!!!! when I couldn't clean a table fast enough or making time to talk to vince while doing the shift????? #does he even care if i steal money??? #oh also the implication of Rody being willing to steal money...for manon ofc #I really wanna know Manon...though she very much haunts the narrative haha. I have my own takes on their relationship- #but its not too deep and would probs be best supplemented by some further lore from the creator #but i do know manon was probably mentally in tears begging Rody to care for himself for once. boy your bathroom is flooding!!! #manon thinking shes going to finally date someone competent and stable when with Vince lmaooo #limon.txt

What's the Brother Bear au? I used to love that movie so I'm really familiar with it, how's your au "not in the way you think"?

@ziggityzigg

HTTYD x Brother Bear AU (but not in the way you think)

Okay! So the first thought would be “Hiccup kills Mrs Tooth, turns into Night Fury”, right? And that does work, but that’s not what I was thinking!

I was thinking the opposite.

Firstly, I think that Hiccup killing a Night Fury is out of character, and his own sarcasm doesn’t exactly fit with Kenai’s attitude (in the first BB). Rather, Toothless’ does, especially in the first HTTYD when the two are getting to know one another.

Derived from Stoick’s death in the second film, I think it’s actually Toothless who kills and pays the price. Additionally, I was thinking of aging Hiccup down a bit: make him 10-13 or 14 instead of 15, or maybe aging Toothless up a bit. However, I suppose it could work with them being the same age like in canon.

As for Rutt and Tuke, my original idea was Ruffnut and Tuffnut, but as much as I love that prospect of a dynamic between them and Toothless (I did contemplate making Barf & Belch human for this instead), I just don’t find much logic in them being their regular ages and Hiccup is younger…

So then I turned to Bucket and Mulch. Plus, Bucket has that Tuke energy, I suppose. Mulch is Rutt? Albeit Mulch leads most dialogue in canon like Tuke… ah, well, that part isn’t important. It doesn’t have to be completely binary.

I suppose this version makes the Light Fury Nita from the second movie? But in the “expected” version it works so much better with Astrid, so if someone wants to do that instead you have my blessing… though I don’t think my version gets a “sequel” so to speak, because it would require usage of THW and the Light Fury. Unless we go the Stormless route, of course.

I mean, that’s something to compare and/or analyse — what Brother Bear 2 did right over HTTYD THW. (I can’t believe that that sentence was ever used and I love it.) I mean, for one, Nita stays with the brothers and doesn’t tear them apart in the longterm. That’s at least something.

I guess this idea could also work with Snotlout and Hookfang.

#also the brother bear score SLAPS Phil Collins I love you… the second one’s score rocks too but not as hard. tho more nostalgic because I #originally watched the second one before ever watching the first lol #httyd #how to train your dragon #httyd 2 #httyd au #hiccup haddock #toothless #brother bear au #<- that’s the tag till I make up a name #httyd thw #the light fury #hookfang #snotlout jorgenson #asks #original post #brother bear

i love the midorima/kise parallels and how they're the two teikos that go to teams that feel like family, teams that they'd shed blood sweat and tears for, and i do think both of them would hesitate to go pro or even play in college because it won't be the same as those glorious three years in shuutoku/kaijou

#kasamatsu thinks kise is stupid for that but kasamatsu doesnt know just how much kise would die for him so🤷🏽‍♀️ #same with takao and midorima. takao's probably like 'shin-chan! what a waste of all those years spent prepping your hands' #and midorima's like 'i can only imagine these hands scoring for shuutoku nanodayo' like. every tsun boy needs this experience #murasakibara doesnt strike me as sentimental and aomine is really in it for the love of the game. akashi is–of course–akashi #but midorima and kise do seem like the two players who followed in kuroko's footsteps and picked teams that really reflect their values #<- even if they hadn't KNOWN at the time of joining that these were the values they were subconsciously seeking #kuroko no basket
