Happy 25th birthday to Shoma Uno! To all your smiles, and many more that are yet to shine. Thank you 💙

#shoma uno #figure skating #i do love him smiling #but him smiling mid-skate is truly on another level. the closest i can describe it makes me feel is heart palpitations but good ones #happy bday to my wonderful boy #can't believe he's 25 omg #i theoretically can write a wax poetic essay full of bday wishes and how great he is and what his skating means to me but i can't #and if anyone tells you i cried today when i was watching him skate and kept thinking about everything and still too overly emotional #well.. that would be heinous lie of course.. #so happy birthday to an athlete with 3 olympic medals. an athlete with a career grand slam. a hardworking practice demon #happy bday to a skater with great control and patience gorgeous lines delicate musicality smooth skating sharp steps amazing spins #that skates so beautifully you can cry #happy birthday to a dog dad. a gamer who hates vegetables and whose diet consists of meat on 99.99%. a rare starfish specimen #happy birthday to a sleepy creature with an 'on/off' switch. to a student of stepffan lanbeeal that will make him go bald from stress #a short king himbo. an unintentional comedian. an english PhD #the only real person that gives me extreme cuteness aggression #and many many many other things that he is #happy birthday you sunshine with those sparkly eyes full of dreams #be happy be healthy be true to yourself #💙💙💙 #p.s. bring another blue costume. soon.

one thing I REAAALLY like about both sk8 and bucchigiri is how the extra characters and even background characters have such neat designs ... they're so good!!

#sk8 the infinity #bucchigiri?! #dust bunny #well for sk8 it's mainly the skaters and not so much others #but like ?? they're so good #everyone gets a design??? #there are recurring background characters??? #it just makes things feel so much more alive yanno

So. I finished watching the Men FS. I mean... Ilia skated good jump wise.

However... I could not unsee that awfully huge difference in presentation, especially after Yuma.

It just was so... worn out? It did not look efortless, soooo heavy. Even when he made the faces etc I was waiting for that BURST of energy after that... but it never happened?

#figure skating #worlds 2024 #ilia malinin #i dunno if i explained myself well #but it still does not make me feel anything when watching him skate #i wish i could cuz his jumps are amazing but it does not make me say wow! #other skaters im on the verge of tears #we will see if it changes in the future

That sure was a night! Congrats to Chae-yeon and Isabeau, and especial congratulations to Kaori for her third consecutive world title!!

#figure skating #Kaori Sakamoto #Chaeyeon Kim #Isabeau Levito #Kaoriiiiii she was far and away the class of the field #And Isabeau and Amber got three spots back together :) #Sad for Loena and other skaters as well though

hi! how do you tell if edge/footwork is good like in mitch's shootout goal?

the best way i can put it is that it looks like he's dancing LMAO,, but if you sort of look at the way mitch skated during his shootout attempt, you can see how he uses his skate edges & how it in turn makes his movement quick & agile. if you look at these gifs on twitter you might be able to see it from a better angle

#i apologize this is a very poorly explained answer LOL im not a great skater nor do i really have the right vocabulary to describe it well #there are other players with great edge work and typically it results in them being fast on their feet/agile/balanced etc etc #anon #asks !

If nothing else, silent hill is sticking to its roots*

*copying resident evils hw

#silent hill 2 #delete later skater #tbh im not as pissed as ive seen other ppl be #like yeah the optics are not pleasant rn #but i see how ppl are complaining abt the combt a #combat and its like. at least he isnt fucking ducking and weaving and action rolling like alex shepherd #which #low bar #but how many damn ways can someone swing a bat #again im hoping this is just a dogwater trailer cause if a majority of the focus was on enemies and killing them. well then were missing #focus #and the fact that we have bareky seen anything. if anything #of eddie and angela #is something that bodes worse for me #anyways! thats my pussy opinion

Happy birthday Virgil !! 💜

#sanders sides #virgil sanders #this edit idea is very unoriginal and im sure others have made similar edits. but this was my take on it #i rlly wanted to do something for virgil’s birthday #i meant to do something for the other Side birthdays this year and I just … never did rip #and this is the last one of the year so i was like i may as well LOL #i tried to choose some background pics that relate to virgil on top of the general purple aesthetic photos #the spiders … duh #the skeleton is bc of virgil’s skeleton onesie #the lightning bolt is because virgil’s logo is a storm cloud with a lightning bolt #the jack-o-lanterns are because virgil loves halloween #the skateboards are because of virgil’s Skater Boy mock-commercial LOL #the headphones are because virgil has those over-the-ear headphones that he likes to wear. and also because he loves his music #anyways. yeah. i love this funky lil purple emo spider #i hope he has a good birthday 🥺

been thinking about this more and like. as far as my particular portrayal of mrs. afton goes, while dancing/ballet is not really a career choice for her, juliet does start lessons at around age seven, and it definitely a hobby that sticks with her.

#𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬 — juliet afton. #admittedly this is some self protection on my part. #as fun fact. #i did actually start ballet classes at around that age. #i still dance occasionally but i'm no professional. #full disclosure i only remember like three steps. #but i still carry a huge respect for ballet dancers and figure skaters. #both mirror each other in such an interesting way. #and jules carries this admiration as well.

the fact that rika might never get the intl medals she deserves or even be able to live a normal life without chronic pain because both her coaches did not care about her wellbeing is akchewally making me go crazy

#x #hamada fuck you lambiel fuck you too #if you think hamada is anything other than eteri tutb 2.0 or that lambiel is just shoma / deniss / whomevers quirky ciach who has done #nothing wrong.... #well. get well soon. and in the meantime refrain from talking about other skaters <3 #rika kihira #fuck lambiel and hamada all my homies hate lambiel and hamada

now twt has ppl pitting yoi and sk8 against each other

#i love both obv but cmon yoi clears this #it doesn't even come close #from the main characters' development and their relationship‚ the plot‚ how well it was handled as a sports anime #where actual figure skaters are actually praising this anime for being so close to accurate in irl fs #and cmon do i even need to mention the brilliance of writing ep 10 was #whereas in sk8 reki was done so dirty‚ arcs that were messily ended (the politics arc w ainosuke like wtf was up with that) #unrealistic depictions of skateboarding (forgivable bc this is an anime) #also not to mention one has a canon queer couple and the other is closer to baiting 😁 #dani.txt #will delete this later just needed to get this off my chest #ALSO forgot to mention but very realistic depiction of characters with mental illness for yoi. they get points for that #also one of these anime has healthy depiction of queer people and the other portrays the only blatantly queer character as a predator

hi! pls help I feel like I’m being gaslit by fstwi so I would like to know your opinion. was gpf origin bad components wise? like I know it wasnt yuzuru’s best and was definitely below his standards but was it actually bad? compared to the rest of the field?

Hello! First of all sorry for the inevitable typos, I'm on my phone and I have a bad cough so I tend to miss the keys.

Now, I think that no one could possibly skate a 5 quad program with same PCS quality as they would the same program with 3-4 quads. It has different layout that would demand a redistribution of energy throught the program and that directly affects the PCS. They need to generate more speed so there will most likely be more basic skating instead of complex steps, they will focus on the jumps more than the interpretation in the step sequence etc.

Therefore I think his PCS were fine as the judges scored him. But it's not bad, far from that. He is probably one of the least impacted skaters by a layout change like that. This might be a bit biased, because I was there in person high on the fact that I am seeing him live and clutching my Pooh (i still wonder where did that thing end up), but the difference between his PCS even when he was focused on the TES and some other men was visible. He was faster, and the skating was visibly cleaner even from up where I was sitting. I think what he did that day was the best of his ability to adapt an already complex program to an insanely difficult layout.

Kevin came the closest to him in terms of components honestly.

#rlly it's his goes that bothered me #but tbh i have seen gpf origin maybe twice on screen because i need to hold a hand over the tech box... #i know some people think he should have been first some think he was rightfully second #i think he was underscored in just goes #as for the other skaters #well i could say things about both pcs and tes but oh well. #figure skating #yuzuru hanyu #gpf 2019 #... actually i have more to say #samarin i am sorry but HOW DID THAT EVEN MAKE THE FINAL. #we all know nathan was overscored to hell and back there... i do think he should have won #and i got to congratulate him in person (he was doing homework and i almost sat on his laptop akdhsksl) #but he was overscored as fuck. i did not tell him that in the face ofc #also yuzuru's tes idk if i were to rescore him i'd probably only get like 3 points higher tes max it was pretty accuratw #objectively it was also weirdly weak overall skate for him but idc i was there purely as a fan and i rlly can't be objective on this one #i mean i got to see him live

guys I have a funny headcannon that few people will get. curler sasuke. it just makes sense. 1. uchihas seem like a family to be weirdly into curling. like they have curling shoes and like. monogramed jackets 2. team taka? FOUR people. obviously sasuke skips, then Karin's vice, juugo second, suigetsu lead. Naruto (hockey player OBVIOUSLY. it almost seems too easy) hears about one of sasuke's games and is like haha ok I'll go to chirp on sasuke lol and he finds out A) curling SUCKS so bad and B) sasuke's really good at it???

#it's just such a sasuke sport. the grace? the strategy? too bad it's lame as hell. oh well. there are other sports for gay people #you what I would pay to see though? sasuke on skates. I do not think boy is a figure skater. itd be so funny #pepper's pthoughts
