more direct thoughts on yuma’s choice of fate program. these are all my assumptions that couldn’t be tweeted on twitter because i don’t want it to spread too far.

whatever the reasons were, i think they both are very Yuma’s programs. both of them are full of his essence, with fate having his skating elegance and tucker having his rich expression. 😄😄😄 i wouldn’t be too concerned about whether my assumptions are true or not, just putting this out there because i think it has a ground.

even god knows better than to insult my goat like this

watched cinema paradiso the film. 🧐 i wonder how yuma’s movements would be connected to the story he wants to tell because that’s what he wants to do with his program… hm.

woke: yuma hopeful edits

broke: yuma edits that have to resort to (1) 4F at the olympics (2) olympics k&c because the editor doesn’t have much creativity in june-july 2026 🫩🫩🫩

of course i think a father-son and a coach-student dual relationship is inherently prone to have problems but man this man isn’t the evil dad who pushes his son to death so that he could live his unfulfilled dreams through his son like people want to claim (even though they don’t outright say that)!!!!!!

Figure Skating Steps/Turns

I’ve made a guide to the ISU classified difficult steps/turns. For ice dance, the 6 difficult steps/turns are rocker, counter, bracket, choctaw, outside mohawk, and twizzle. For singles/pairs, the 6 difficult steps/turns are rocker, counter, bracket, choctaw, twizzle, and loop. For 3 of the difficult one foot turns (rocker, counter, bracket), I’ve also included examples from each of the 8 entry edges because in my opinion, they are the hardest to tell apart of the steps/turns. This is especially true for rockers and counters since skaters maintain the same entry and exit edge (inside to inside or outside to outside) in both. In singles skating, the direction of the step/turn (clockwise or counter-clockwise) is important because a skater must have 5 types of difficult steps/turns in both directions to achieve level 4 on their step sequence, so I will also separate them by their direction.

UPDATE: I now have a video guide to go along with this post/gif guide!!! This is the complete 20 minute guide.

Individual videos of each difficult step/turn: Loop: https://youtu.be/x3xAkP57wMk Choctaw: https://youtu.be/w6O-KpGNNU0 Bracket: https://youtu.be/i-ovZMy5CbQ Counter: https://youtu.be/oGHWd4qATyk Mohawk: https://youtu.be/Daf3c76gVxg Rocker: https://youtu.be/PpLRtsHEU0Q Twizzle: https://youtu.be/_XWfAesBijE

I now have examples of choctaws, outside mohawks, twizzles, and loops from every entry edge, meaning I now have examples of every difficult step/turn from every entry edge! I also now have examples of non-difficult (ie. those that don’t count for levels in step sequences) steps/turns (three turn, inside mohawk, toe steps, chasse, change of edge, cross roll, crossed step in front, crossed step behind, slip steps, swing roll, progressive, illusion). For three turn and inside mohawk I have examples from every entry edge as well. See twitter thread version of this post here

youth olympics gold in 2020 will lead to 2030 gold #trust

[nemo-holmes]

somehow i really believe in the chance that yuma is definitely going to the 2030 olympics he just hasn’t known it yet lol.

it feels like the trajectory would be him finding a new thing he wants to try every year and before he knows it, it will be the olympics season ahead and he has nothing to lose and therefore attending it 😗

giffing jumps yuma doesn't usually do part 1 of who knows

tatsuki’s the human condition reminds me of how yuma jokingly said to a fan that “then i will do a 10min program next time 😆” because they said they wanted to see him for 10 more minutes… fan service king 👑 but don’t even joke about it maaaaaaaan
