i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?
i don't even follow you but i need 2 thank you for your tags on that ilia post bc i s2g going through the notes is like... am i living in a different reality from these ppl? i was there in person and bro was tired and disconnected from the music like the entire back half. meanwhile deniss put on the performances of his fucking life!!! i'm not even rly a hater i just... there were other performances of ilia's this season that were much better??? help??? i don't understand i feel like i'm on mars
first of all deniss nation riseeeeee that’s literally my darling baby boy, his 7th place finish here was the highlight of the entire event for me i think like i cried real tears. MY world champion forever and always. second of all yeah like ilia’s jumps are inarguably bonkers and he deffo deserved the win here but. well. it was quite simply a bunch of jumps set to the succession soundtrack and very little else. and in terms of this performance being the thing that goes viral, i get it, the stuff that resonates with the general public is always gonna be world records, things that have never been done before, and feats of superhuman athleticism and ilia’s got all of that going on. and what he did WAS amazing. it’s just funny as a skating fan to see the most nothing ass performance go viral and get hyped up as “the most amazing thing i’ve ever seen i’ve watched it 8 times figure skating is such a beautiful sport” etc etc etc. especially when there were other performances at this very same event that were also amazing and historic and like, also enjoyable to watch from a performance stand point (kaori, deanna and max, ADAM, etc). but these words are all in vain, skates like ilia’s are the ones that win world records and make headlines because that’s what the general public wants to see and also what the sport as a whole rewards. ultimately figure skating is a broken sport and it sucks but she’s the woman i married. and these days any positive attention the sport gets is a good thing so go ilia i guess. at least he’s not a sexual predator like half of the men in this sport sorry did i say that out loud. anyways
