Violeta Sierova / Ivan Khobta - 🇺🇦 - Euros 23 Pairs SP
Program: Vesna - Vopli Vidopliassova
WOW wow WOW this program made me so emotional. It may have not been perfect, but for such a young team, training and learning in such turbulent and horrific times… and to perform such a beautiful and so wonderfully Ukrainian program? They should be so proud of themselves for delivering not only a stellar performance with very fun folk choreography, but nailing some pretty great elements. (Their Rev Lift was definitely a stand out 🤩) I’m so proud of them, 🥹😭🥺

Fully finished 15 Nikolai AU Character sheet + Headcannons!!!
Nikolai is a Piano player and I will not accept him playing any other instrument other than that. His cannon design even looks like a Piano how much more piano-y can a character get?? He is those self-taught pianist. The type that only knows chords and those weird numbered sheets music you get in those church songs lol (Fyodor taught him to read sheet music later on ;3)
Also pianist of 10 years writing over here, The tenor clef page is based on personal experiences.
It took me so long to figure out his sexuality, It was between Gay, Pan, Achillean but I settled with Omnisexual
“Omnisexual refers to someone who is romantically, emotionally, or sexually attracted to persons of all genders and orientations”Basically, All is good. But of course he does have some (a lot) of Internalised Homophobia and Religious Trauma (Haven’t fully figured it out yet in my head but I’m working on it)
Figure skating ehhhhhhh (for personal reasons) Realistically it is near impossible to do a Hydroblade self taught and pretty much figure skating isn’t a hobby that you can just buy a pair of skates (1000usd per pair) (he stole those with his ability ofc) but you can’t just teach yourself through YouTube videos (based on…. Experience….) (you Will Hurt yourself) but I meannnn He has an magical portal opening ability, he got plot armour. (And I like figure skating)
Random Trivia
Cavetown coded, Star coded, Neurodivergent, Enfp, likes cardistry (like magicians you get it), has the biggest crush on Fyodor (if it wasn’t obviously enough lol), likes Pigeons (yk street rats) (I love pigeons, they deserve more love), (Personally I think cannon adult Nikolai is more white Dove coded tho), Loves theatre and the stage (based on irl Mykola), Irl Mykola was queer, Loves Tchaikovsky (me too) (Tchaikovsky was also queer btw (he was very gay)), likes Mykola Lysenko (carol of the bells original composer) (ayy father of Ukrainian classical music and him share the same name!!) (I love researching about Ukrainian culture while making this)(Ukraine is so beautiful, I wish we could’ve had the chance to visit it in its beautiful light and glory before yk…) (Making this was very emotional) (Don’t forget to support Support Ukraine guys) 🌻🇺🇦🫶
Btw here are some songs that I listened to while drawing him!!!
(Definitely listens to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture to fw Fyodor lol)
(Btw go watch my 15 Fyolai Astronomy mini Animatic on my page)
(This is Home will always have a special place in my heart)

Figure skater I would associate with Kris from Joker Out (cuz why not)
Roman Sadovsky
youtube
Think with me: they are both half Slavic (Kris is half Slovenian, edit: Roman was born in canada and I'm pretty sure at least one of his parents is Ukrainian, now I don't remember if the other one was also Ukrainian or Russian or Canadian), both blue eyes, both blonde *gunshots heard in the distance*, tall as fuck, beautiful lines, play an instrument (Kris plays the guitar, Roman plays the drums), and they connect very well with music. They are also very chaotic. Kris can and will insult your family by accident and Roman....well... he's a man in figure skating, all of them are chaotic. They have no consistence whatsoever, which makes the men's competitions more fun because anything goes.
EDIT: OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION ROMAN CAN ALSO BE AS AWKWARD AS KRIS:
youtube
And we love to see it ✊🏽

Kyrylo Marsak is fundraising for his figure skating training in Laukaa, Finland. He's the reigning Ukrainian junior national champion and a veteran of Junior Worlds and the European Youth Olympic Festival. Help a young athlete out if you can, or send the link elsewhere if you know someone else who can help!

Every day I’m thankful my mums side of the family is Italian. Cause I grew up with Football and Formula 1, as well as figure skating (which I competed in for 13+ years, until I quit in 2019).
Like having a Ukrainian family on my dad’s side is interesting and all, but there’s something about having an Italian family that just makes it even more fun.
And my Nonno encouraged me to get into racing; so I get to start Karting at the end of April for a club about 48mins away from me. 🙏😁
Little; get to know my family post for people.

The RD scoring made me so angry that watching the women's free felt like a chore. Like, in what world do C/B beat the Italians and the Canadanes technically??? She doesn't get into the ice, like, at all, she's basically drifting. I felt the same as you about G/F, this is the first performance of their RD that I've enjoyed and watching their feet was one of the highlights of the event for me. However, the Canadanes delivered the better overall package (although his free leg is admittedly weak). C/B were so painfully boring to me that the only reason I'd have them in 3rd here (with the above 2 teams being 1st and 2nd) is that the other teams were worse. And I'm sorry, but as much as I like Lilah and Lewis as people and find them entertaining, they have no business being in this conversation and the only thing their overscoring can achieve is put people off. P2 are unwatchable to me, G/Pa were good but his costume and her hair issues were distracting, the poor girl spent half the program brushing her hair away from her eyes. They can deliver wonders with the right coaching team, which is why I'm extremely meh about them this year. The Lithuanians were the best I've seen them do the RD so far, given that the theme doesn't suit their natural movement style. C/P were good, this was kind of a median performance for them from what we've seen this year but there's less of a gap between them and G/Pa than what was scored. I can't with any of the French teams, with L/B her back is so inflexible that they'll be really limited in what they can do elements-wise and their packaging is very Euro-retro. I don't find the Finns too offensive but she just looks so fragile to me, I can't focus on anything else. Taschlers were on fire. Of the rest, I enjoyed the Ukrainians' progress a lot. Do NOT get me started on KanaDai and their scores/calls, though... I need them and Marina to go tf away already, that was hideous. And omg that poor Svinin Zhuk team, the sheer cringe...
Italians won in BV over C/B, Canadanes got slightly less because C/B got level 4 for the midline. But I have to say, while I think the Italians and Canadanes are the two best teams in terms of edge quality and their basic skating skills and I'm for sure not a technical specialist, I did think C/B were strong in the RD and tbh the current rules for levels are so contrite that who even knows at this point. I do not agree that she doesn't get into the ice, she's not the strongest but I think she improved a lot as well (Igor legit did nothing with her).
I 100% agree that G/F had such good footwork today, like again I'm not a techincal specialist but watching it live even before the levels came up I knew it was superb, but I also agree that Canadanes win overall, Nikolaj's free leg is the thing that always bothers me but it also improved a lot this season so kudos to him. I really think that Canadanes deserved at least 3rd.
F/G are for sure the weakest of the top 5 (though today not sure I would even have G/P above them in the RD) but people will hate them no matter what. Once people decided they figured out Lilah's family tree they also decided to hate her in one of teh ugliest ways I've seen in the fs fandon and god knows I've seen a lot of shit in my days. Their overscoring is annoying but again, it's not as bad as people make it be.
G/P were borderline unwatchable to me as well, but as I said I'm very biased because of my strong dislike of their RD since the second I saw it, in a see of bad fake latin programs they somehow managed to have the worse, and we fucking have wicked games latin and Adele latin this season so it says a lot.
Green/Parsons as you said were distracting, his costume is fine to me, her hair not so much, I like the improved speed but they are very sloppy in their footwork and keep losing levels. As @saucylittlesmile said, CPom with 5th highest BV but 10th overall is super frustrating but that's why I believe that if they can get better speed and keep the levels they will make a push. I still think the best outing of the RD for CPom was 4CC, I also hope they can attack the FD because I need them over 112 and over 114, like get a SB/PB.
French as I said suffer from bad packaging this season and Gui's choreography and vision for them. They were edgy and fun last season, this season they are barely noticeable.
FINs are also a bias point for me, between her being so fragile looking, them hopping their twizzles and not getting dinged for it, and her wide open mouth that is somehow considered interpretation, I just can't with their scores, they are a 72 team, not a 76-79 team.
R/A I love, strong outing for them and they are even stronger in the FD id they can skate it calean (which means not falls, not twizzles fuck ups, no choreo lift fuck up like it happened 2-3 times already).
Taschlers were great fun and they have power and speed for days, but they too suffer from sloppy footwork - to be 9th with a pattern level 1 bothers me.
Ukranians are really developing nicely, it was smart to switch the Conga they used at the end of the RD to Hip Hip Chin Chin, it works way better.
Also liked the Estonian, I bow down to Solene for competing and looking better than a lot of teams who didn't almost die at the start of the season.
And I have a soft spot for the Australians, they fucked the twizzles here but I think they have a lot of potential tbh.
Legit don't even know who are the Svinin/Zhuk team but it's ironic how Stepanova/Bukin dumped them this week for Zhuin's politicking (though I'm legit shocked they are thinking about returning given the ban and the fact Stepanova just has a secret baby)

 it’s  in  his  new  environment  that  nik  begins  to  thrive  ..  finds  an  intense  love  for  literature  and  just  reading  in  general  ??  he’s  a  naturally  bright  boy  and  is  excelling  in  his  classes  where  he  gets  top  marks  and  notes  on  his  report  cards  saying  how  lovely  n  intelligent  of  a  boy  is  ,,  though  he  does  have  trouble  with  making  friends  which  ))):  some  of  his  classmates  are  a  bunch  of  twats  and  like  to  pick  on  nik  since  he’s  the  new  kid  and  has  a  strong  accent

 it's  when  nik  and  his  family  moved  to  london  that  he  actually  started  going  by  the  nickname  of  nik  just  as  an  easier  way  of  pronunciation  english  wise.  with  his  dad  and  sister  he  goes  by  mykola,  but  he  still  goes  by  nik  just  bc  he's  gotten  so  used  to  it
 but  once  nik  eventually  settled  in  and  made  some  friends  of  his  own,  everything  settled  down  and  nik  grew  to  enjoy  his  time  in  london.  his  more  affable  personality  started  to  come  through  and  would  become  known  as  one  of  the  few  class  clowns  in  his  grade  who  could  hold  a  conversation  with  anyone
 it’s  around  nik’s  13th  birthday  that  his  dad  introduces  him  to  a  new  lady  in  his  life  aka  his  new  gf  named  isabella  who  has  kind  green  eyes  and  a  vibrant  laugh  that  brought  out  her  animated  personality  and  nik  automatically  loved  her.  he  could  see  how  happy  she  made  his  dad  and  after  years  of  watching  his  dad  be  treated  badly  by  his  mom  nik  was  happy  that  he  found  someone  who  loved  him  and  being  around  him
 fast  forward  seven  months  and  isabella  moves  into  their  home  and  nik  finally  feels  like  he  has  a  family  ??  and  it’s  inevitable  that  the  two  get  married  where  nik  is  the  best  man  and  it’s  with  this  new  family  structure  of  isabella  and  her  daughter  sofia  that  nik  feels  stable??  in  a  sense  ??  uses  this  new  found  sense  of  stability  to  further  challenge  himself  in  his  academics  –  finding  a  strong  penchant  for  math  and  science  and  being  insanely  good  at  it.
 while  debating  whether  he  wanted  to  go  to  university  for  something  math  related,  it  was  hearing  his  dad  speak  about  his  most  recent  flight  that  nik  came  to  the  realization  that  he  wanted  to  follow  in  his  father's  footsteps  and  become  a  pilot.  from  there  on  nik  applies  himself  even  more  so  in  his  studies  with  his  sites  set  on  purude  university  in  america.  to  which  he  eventually  gets  accepted  into  and  he  attends
 the  years  in  school  fly  by  for  nik  and  he  eventually  graduates  with  his  degree,  gets  his  abundance  of  hours  worth  of  supervised  training  completed  within  another  two  years  and  by  age  25  he's  flying  high  and  slowly  working  his  way  up
 nik  bounces  around  america  for  a  while,  settling  in  city  airport  hubs  of  delta  as  he  works  his  way  up  in  rank  and  not  settling  down  in  a  place  for  too  long.  eventually  nik  ends  up  in  new  york  city  with  a  base  in  jfk  international  airport  where  he  starts  to  do  longer  more  international  flights  and  it's  here  in  nyc  that  nik  starts  to  settle  down

 nik  and  his  family  are  the  type  who  get  together  for  family  vacations  each  year  still  bc  they  genuinely  all  get  along  and  love  one  another.  death  tw  starts  –  it'ss  during  one  of  nik's  long  shifts  where  it’s  proving  to  be  a  tough  day  when  he's  just  finishing  up  one  of  his  longer  flights  and  he  gets  an  international  call  from  england  saying  that  his  sister  and  his  brother  in  law  were  involved  in  were  involved  in  a  car  accident  and  didn't  make  it  –  end  of  death  tw
 being  her  godfather  nik  is  given  full  guardianship  of  his  niece  adelaide  and  she  soon  makes  the  move  from  england  to  new  york  city.  it's  a  tough  time  for  nik  as  he's  thrown  into  a  whirlwind  of  settling  everything  with  paperwork,  getting  adelaide  settled,  and  taking  time  off  from  work  to  acclimate  to  having  to  raise  a  teenager  now.  unfortunately  the  one  long  term  and  healthy  relationship  nik  found  himself  in  begins  to  suffer  from  the  amount  of  stress  and  being  pulled  in  multiple  directions.  nik  and  his  boyfriend  break  up  and  seeing  as  nik  didn’t  plan  to  become  a  father,  he  decides  now  is  the  time  to  refocus  and  dedicate  all  of  his  time  to  raising  adelaide
 after  some  time  adelaide  decides  she  doesn't  like  the  hectic  ways  of  new  york  so  nik  begins  to  apply  to  other  companies  and  once  he's  met  with  a  generous  salary  and  a  flexible  schedule  for  him  to  look  after  adelaide,  he  and  his  niece  make  the  move  to  seattle  and  eventually  settle  into  the  amore  lux  apartments
 nik  truly  does  hope  to  one  day  settle  down  and  taking  on  the  responsibility  of  raising  adelaide  certainly  made  nik  aware  just  how  lonely  he  is  lmao.  he  does  have  hope  to  have  kids  of  his  own  potentially  just  from  how  family  oriented  he  is.  right  now  he's  juggling  work  and  learning  how  to  raise  a  teenager  while  they're  both  dealing  with  grief  and  while  it's  a  lot,  he  and  adelaide  see  eye  to  eye
CONNECTION  IDEAS
 someone  who  checks  in  on  adelaide  when  nik  is  off  at  work  doing  longer  flights.  he  would  say  babysitter  while  adelaide  would  argue  against  it  (  she's  16  thank  you  very  much  !!  )  but  he  just  likes  to  know  that  there's  enough  food  in  the  apartment  or  if  his  niece  has  homework  questions  then  someone  is  there
 some  hookups  !!  nik  is  painfully  single  and  while  still  getting  over  his  ex,  he's  still  a  man  with  needs  so  the  door  is  open
 anyone  with  a  kid  of  their  own  who  can  offer  nik  some  advice  on  How  To  Raise  a  Teenager  When  You  Weren't  Planning  On  Raising  a  Teenager
 a  wholesome  date  where  nik  and  your  muse  went  out  for  dinner  but  ultimately  they  realized  they  were  better  off  as  friends  and  they  continue  to  be  as  such
 an  errand  friend  !!  your  muse  and  nik  oftentimes  like  to  run  errands  together  just  bc  it's  more  fun  and  the  company  is  nice  as  opposed  to  doing  everything  by  yourself
 maybe  someone  nik  was  having  a  casual  friends  with  benefits  situation  with  and  since  he's  still  finding  his  footing  with  relationships  and  moving  on  from  his  ex,  your  muse  could've  ended  up  liking  nik  more  than  nik  understood.  feelings  could've  been  hurt  and  things  are  awkward  now
 friends  please  !!  *black  panther  voice*  someone  give  this  man  some  friends  !!  he's  lonely  !!

Okay, wow. I was not expecting this when I logged on to twitter today. And I will admit I’m sad - felt a bit like a gut-punch. (and at a time when my personal life is going so well, too! - I never really had the energy to post about it recently, but long story short: I found a flat far away from my parents and I’ll be moving out and getting out of this whole toxic family situation in mid-august, so yeah... hyped for that.)
But anyway, this post isn’t about me: THANK YOU, YUZURU HANYU, for everything.
2-time Olympic champion, 2-time World champion, 4-time GPF champion, only Men’s skater to achieve a Career Super Slam, breaker of 19 World records, greatest figure skater of all time - what a legacy. And that’s without counting the many more he would have won without underscoring and corrupt judging.
There won’t be another Hanyu anytime soon. I’m so glad I got to see him live, got to watch him compete, got to watch him attempt a 4A right in front of me. My only regret is that I never got to throw a Pooh for him.
But also, this isn’t the end. He’ll still be skating, he’ll still be here, he’s still a professional skater - just not under the ISU’s corrupt system anymore. And honestly - that’s a win. At this point I think it’s not exaggerated to say that him retiring from competition is alike to someone getting out of an abusive relationship. And on that front, I’m so happy for him. I’m so happy he’ll get to skate on his own terms now, that he’ll get to do what he wants without constantly being punished for it, and I wish him all the best in whatever he plans to do now and whatever the future holds for him now.
And I also can’t wait to gleefully watch the ISU go bankrupt and fall apart as no one goes to any of their competitions anymore. (I mean, I’ll still tune in for my girl Rika and maybe some other women’s skaters, but for the men? lmao, nope.)
(Also, because this post is already too long and chaotic, let me take this moment to say if any of you make those “other skaters thanking Yuzu” compilations and you include the Russians, it’s on sight 🔪. I don’t care how much Pl*sh likes Yuzu or that he said a nice thing about him - he’s literally out there advocating *for* slaughtering Ukrainians. Can some of you look outside your FS bubble for ONE SECOND? Some of you really be like “I can excuse advocating for genocide and war, but I draw the line at being rude to Yuzuru Hanyu.”)

Wait how?? Why do you speak so many languages o_O
dnsksnsjs love the confusion 10/10

My 110, Alexis, has arrived! I’ll take some good photos later. I’m happy with the doll herself, but the quality of the meet outfit leaves a lot to be desired- the bottoms of the shoes are uneven and there’s a rip on the back of the dress. Her hair is also dry and tangled at the bottom, so I’ll be trimming it.
On Discord we’ve built up extensive lore for Alexis (superpowers, extreme bite strength, communicative ability with cougars) and I’m tamping her mystical magical abilities down for her character. She’s a ten year old from Grande Prairie, Alberta. She’s Ukrainian-Canadian. She’s autistic. She plays hockey and figure skates occasionally. Her parents are divorced and her father lives far to the south in Calgary, where he works at the zoo. She wants to be a zookeeper when she grows up, because she loves big cats. 
More to come! I’m super excited for her.
