But really
All this
(no thought)

One can not be a fan (me) yet recognize the beauty and precision of an element; these shouldn't be exclusive in sport talk

May everyone focus on the beauty they can harness 🙏 if it's quads then quads, if it's choreo then choreo, if it's fashion sense that too we all wanna see

Sato Shun my child I support you a lot

Just saw the GPF results
Will enjoy the replays later 🌟
Some things happened as expected for expected reasons, good and bad, but other things seem to have been unexpected too and that makes this sport fun

Missing the GPF live viewing because of traveling but I had a nightmare last night that I arrived at a skating competition late and had been signed in the wrong division (pairs) and had forgotten my blades .⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠(⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠.
Stay safe everyone 🕯️🕯️🕯️
will catch up slowly over the next week

More work suddenly today and tomorrow so unlikely I can catch up on the GPF properly until late tomorrow night or Friday morning, by which time the timezone magic will mean a live viewing -- granted that the wifi doesn't break along my long cross-European journey 🥲

Oh it's more of a visual novel kind of game, you can let the game play for you if you want www anyway it's a rabbit hole of fan feelings never resolved 🙂‍↕️ we all suffer (happily, currently replaying aai2)
They gays

Ever played Ace Attorney?

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Monday dread: not cold enough here yet for the traditional, yearly ice rink to open on the local lake
(and also the crushing everythng else happening outside skating problems)

Imagine having chill time to spare and many potential choices you could make today, and in the end deciding on covering up for abusers instead of idk baking a pie (any kind) or touching grass (which is fun) or shutting up (which is free)

Oh uh
That's ;;

sobs
Minkyu our baby our child ;c;
Before JGPF next week, I hope he'll celebrate well and rest well and enjoy melonpan in Japan happily before skating magic again ✨

🌟⛸️🕯️til the end of the season

Anyway can't believe I can't resume skating lessons before next September ;; But I'm visiting France again for a couple weeks soon so I can freely go to my birth town rink and skate for a bit there~~

Noo kitty TT

And sad to see it wasn't Sihyeong's best day

Baby Minkyu, it still baffles me he's not a senior yet but ;c; look at him go!!
Junhwan onward always 🙏

Everyone please enjoy this weekend of break from the GP, and later onward we'll go 🌟 eat well, hydrate well, make and consume human made art well 🌸

Making music, baking a lot, swimming, contemplating existence with dread and despair, rewatching old competitions, eating chocolate, crying, repeat (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

i don't want to have to second guess if every image is ai!! i don't want to edit with ai!! i don't wait to generate anything!!!! i don't want to talk to an ai chatbot!!! go away omg

Gonna have to add to that Yuzuru-inspired tattoo eventually
For science
(there's no science)

On AI

I know someone in Japan who spent 2 yrs in an expensive language school to reach N1, has many Japanese friends, works in a restaurant and now studies in a standard uni there etc.. but still asks chatgpt to translate EVERYTHING for her before she speaks or writes

What was/is it all even for??

Italy now recognizes the crime of femicide and punishes it with life in prison Italy's parliament on Tuesday approved a law that punishes femicide with life in prison. The vote coincided with the international day for the elimination of violence against women.

A good step, ofc addressing the actual roots of the issue would be great too but we won't spit on victories -- only let it fuel further fights & hopes

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

The curse of sport competitions ;; sometimes we're timezone lucky, sometimes time has no meaning, other we have collective tears 🤝🫂

Indeed ;; sad I can't share it live and the rest of the comp might also be difficult to see in real time, but above all I'm happy we have figure skating at all 🫶

Those were commin discussions already years ago about how it was gonna develop that way seeing the direction the system was taking back then, and would you guess what indeed ended up happening over time ╮⁠(⁠╯⁠_⁠╰⁠)⁠╭
not a surprise but still a disappointment* (*ISU's middle name)

in the current system, if you have only one of those things (quads or good skating skills), the person with quads will win, and that's what i don't like. it's not that i think quads shouldn't be worth anything, but someone with strong spins and stsq and clean triples should be competitive too

Unfortunately no bc I'm a manager ;v; big boss had to find a rare time where the whole team isn't working somewhere else, can't be helped TT
