#complaining
I want to draw more mystery farm stuff, not writhe around in aches and pains feeling exhausted
i wanna make tlou 2 icons but i can’t find screencaps of the cutscenes, there’s one video on yt of all of them but i don’t know if it’s hd enough ;___;
cry me a river, you weren’t somebody’s “first choice.” bitch—I’ve never even been somebody’s last resort.
“This is about Nathan’s 4A video. I think it was wrong of people to share the video publicly because the video WASN’T supposed to be shared publicly at all. The video was supposed to stay private, since even Nathan probably didn’t want anyone to know about it. The person who took the video will now be in huge trouble.”
“To those who watch juniors and leave comments like, ‘she should lose a couple kilos,’ are you even freaking sane?”
“So not feeling Kostornaia’s short program. The Billie Eilish songs are dreadful. Or maybe, I just don’t like Billie Eilish’s voice.”
“It’s honestly depressing how many skaters have to turn their personal social media into sales platforms for fast fashion, passing itself off as sportswear or environmentally (un)friendly stuff like bottled water, just to earn a bit of money because their federations can’t or don’t help to fund them.”
“If 2020 is a flood, then the Minsk Ice Star was a flaming dumpster floating by. Held with spectators amid COVID, in an agonizing dictatorship during mass protests, with no media coverage, borders getting closed at random, two whole national teams withdraw(l), and yet another just doesn’t show up, but it goes on, warm-ups reassigned on the fly as three ladies are late, the live stream was going down repeatedly, the kiss & cry couch ruined by antiseptic, and Mishin wearing no mask, while his team loses by 19pts., etc. etc.”
“This ‘season’ is a grotesque, dangerous joke. The ISU needs to cancel everything and give huge fines to Federations that practise bad citizenship by running domestic events now that half the world is back in lockdown. There’s no sports competition important enough to warrant traveling, even to another city right now.”
“I just don’t get excited about figure skating anymore and it makes me very sad. It’s hard to care when competitions have no stakes and my faves aren’t competing. I used to watch everything on the edge of my seat, and now I’m like, ‘Oh, was there another Russian Cup this weekend? Whatever.’ Hopefully, we will have normal international competitions next season.”
“Cup of Russia is really proving how real the Eteri bonus is.”
“What on earth are those weird choreos. that Sambo-70 does in its dance classes??? Now I understand why Shoma didn’t want to stay with Eteri when he went there for a camp (during the time he was coachless, before the start of the 2019-2020 season). Sure, he was like: Nope after going to those dance classes, lol they look ridiculous.”
“When will the FS federations learn the lesson and stop hyping pre-teens/juniors/novices so much and naming them the next olympic champion, when they haven’t even finished growing and developing physically. Yes, I’m looking at you, Rusfed, and don’t get me started on the USFSA. I have no clue how they’re gonna fix the Alysa Liu problem, that was some big PR campaign gone to waste.”
“You thought the Evgenia/Rika thing was double standards… Javier traveled during the pandemic to Russia, a hot spot, somehow bypassed the border restrictions, skated in a show with an audience the next day, and took a lot of photos with other people without a mask, lol. But, he’s Jabi, he can do no wrong.”
“For some reason, the higher up the ranks, the more boring and warhorsey do the music choices get. Rika is a shining exception to the rule tho.”
“I can’t believe how selfish some people are being, whining about competitions being cancelled when almost the entire northern hemisphere is a huge COVID-19 hotspot. Like, read a book or learn to knit or go on YouTube, nobody has to put their life at risk, just because you’re bored and want to watch skating.”
“I must say the World Standings drama is absolutely hilarious. It never mattered in the last few seasons anyway, and even if the fans are gloating about it now, it is still irritating, remember they’re being arrogant over the skater who’s number one lost by a wide margin to their rival in the GPF this season and can only win titles when their head rivals aren’t competing.”
“Team competitions at the olympics should just be gotten rid of. It makes no sense when you know which country is going to be on the podium and what place they come in. They should bring back team competition when there are 6 or 7 countries that are in medal contention, kind of like artistic gymnastics.”
“From the ISU Program Components marking chart, available on their website - COMPOSITION: Purpose (idea, concept, vision, mood); pattern/ice coverage; multidimensional use of space and design of movements; phrase and form (movements & parts of the program to match the musical phrasing); ORIGINALITY OF THE COMPOSITION. So now, tell me again how a program recycled four times should be getting 10s in this category?”
“‘Nathan looks like he doesn’t care about and looks down upon figure skating as a sport!!!’ Cue Nathan using his free time to complete his coaching certification and coaching the younger skaters…. your faves can never and will never, sorry not sorry.”
“If the Chinese and the Russians starts politicking in Beijing by guaranteeing Chinese pairs the gold and Russian ice dance teams the gold and screw P/C (politics started in euros already), I want P/C to pull a Savchenko.”
“If Russia is always scheming/politicking in figure skating, they should just be banned from being a member of the ISU, banned from judging, and then they can play politics within their own country instead. But ¾ of ISU is literally funded by Russia, and Russia is the puppeteer of ISU. What a shame, because they have some of the most amazing skaters and their federation acting like that is so toxic to the athletes.”
“I always think it’s sad when a low-ranked skater has a really outstanding skate at Nationals and makes the podium, but nobody knows or cares because they don’t come from one of the four big feds.”
