STOP REBLOGGING THIS my phone is glitching an astronomical amount and I immediately knew the culprit was one of my tumblr posts gaining traction

This is from NINETEEN SEVENTY FOUR and yet Sesame Workshop still has the nerve to claim that Julie or whatever her name is was Sesame Street’s first autistic character. Justice for my pigeon-loving hero and his bottlecap collection and his fluffy apron.

alright, I mean you can still read her score Ollie

[mnesiptolema]

Yeah it wasn't, like, 5 or something meaningless. It's still a real score. There's a chance Szekely knew this might happen and did it anyway. She's not a regular in EFs, right?

[elenazamos]

uhhhh what is this award for??

[elenazamos]

same Spencer

[mnesiptolema]

Based on the close-up of the oversized cheque thing, "for the gymnasts with the most challenging performances." So the D-score award?

But clearly none of the commentators know cos they're skating round it lol

[elenazamos]

I still can't get my head around high 12s being average scores

[mnesiptolema]

I would love to see E scores inflate. 9.5+ for a great routine, 8.5-9.5 for middle of the road, 7.0 to 8.5 for poor execution. And be willing to throw a 10 E for something truly exceptional (that video of Simone's stuck YDP comes to mind).

wait natalia escalera's floor routine is such a serve

The double onodi IRL!

i like when wikipedia pages for bands have that little chart at the bottom where you can see how they’ve been ritualistically cannibalizing their drummer every 3-5 years since 2007

Laurie has said this thing about shaky ankles for awhile now and I have literally never seen a gymnast with shaky ankles.

[eliserayappreciation]

are the shaky ankles in the room with us right now?

[mnesiptolema]

I'm not watching NBC so I don't have context, but does she mean unstable ankles? It's easy to 'tip' off a high releve, or not hold releve, without enough ankle strength

[eliserayappreciation]

Girl these are American gymnasts they don’t know what releve is

[mnesiptolema]

Alicia Zhou does!
