liunatics unite

but yeah, it was extremely awful and I think you can understand why it burned me out on the sport for a while :/ i was wondering if they'd mention it on the runthrough lore series, but I understand why they skipped it because it's so dark (and because ashley was personally involved)

i'm not sure, since i was out of the loop :/ several people went public with their accusations (of course they were initially kept anonymous by safesport) so i think that helped people realize it was real and stop openly defending him. but i think it was mostly swept under the rug

i think that's totally fair!

every time kevin aymoz skates god flips a coin #SCI25 #GPFigure

I have watched this work locally. When things are going terribly and the local GOP abandons their people and the local dems show up with food pantries and stuff to help anyone who needs it. It bleeds through the noise. Sometimes it radicalizes them into our cause.

But we get NO support down here.

i'm glad you're enjoying it, i always worry about annoying the people who aren't into skating 😩

yeah! i also loved her dress AND the FD but i don't mind being the odd one out, i was the sole defender of adam dying on the ice during his dune FS last year and i stand by it 😂

christ what the fuck

i used to NEVER talk to people publicly online about skating because fstwt was so scary and toxic, so i just really appreciate all of you and getting to experience this sport collectively 💜💜💜

i mean this so genuinely, i love the wide range of opinions on ice dance on my feed today. i just appreciate that bsky fs fandom is chill enough that we can disagree on stuff, fs twitter was always like, you better have the Correct opinions or Die. it's an inherently subjective sport!

Wary but also cozy

i hope she comes in SO STRONG and makes the JSF's job even harder

next week at NHK we'll see the GP debuts of yuma kagiyama, loena hendrickx, wakaba higuchi, efimova/mitrofanov and orihara/pirinen!

i mean, we haven't seen anything of their training or programs except for that one very off-putting and troubling leaked livebarn video. with the shibs, i feel sure that if it was going well we'd be seeing clips

now the question is, will we REALLY see the shibutanis at NHK next week? if they're withdrawing, they're leaving it very late for another team to come off the alternates list...

SAME!! i have basically no hope for this happening but i would be SO HAPPY

i'm sure they're not happy about that lift error but i LOVE that free dance, very happy that piper and paul have material i like so much this season #SCI25 #GPFigure

pairs figure skating is generally soooo heteronormative. ice dance on the other hand is (generally) like "what if we were weird twins. what if two people could transform into a car and back again in 3 minutes"

ugh I LOVE THEMMM #SCI25 #GPFigure

i feel like this builds on the success they had last year with carmen, i don't like it AS much as carmen (yet) but as long as christina can be beautiful and intense i'm happy #SCI25 #GPFigure

i am SUCH a christina carreira fan #SCI25 #GPFigure

okay i don't like him picking her up and putting her down from sitting on the ice #SCI25 #GPFigure

STRONG agree and i was also a doubter

wowww the beading on paul's shirt is stunning too!!! piper and paul do not always have my favorite costumes but these are beautiful #SCI25 #GPFigure

piper's DRESS!!! #SCI25 #GPFigure

it was really cool!

i love that they're both equally committed to the performance. could definitely be more crisp, some of the lift entrances didn't seem super comfortable but i imagine that'll change! #SCI25 #GPFigure

oh his costume SLAYS, i love that half skirt #SCI25 #GPFigure

i'm not really familiar with this team but the gap in skill is pretty noticeable, she's a better skater AND performer :/ she was fabulous! #SCI25 #GPFigure

this music... nothing beats a jet 2 holiday #SCI25 #GPFigure
