for when u wake up. What kind of outfits would dnf have in the skate thingie
oh god u don't understand how cool this was to think about but also! how difficult!!
Men costumes are usually either 1.plain shirt 2. tight black long sleeve 3. the ugliest thing you've seen in your life (with some VERY SPARSE outliers), so this was hard but here's my try at it.
So, I think Sapnap and Dream would have a kind-of similar style not because they do irl, but because of the music choices.
Sapnap's best programs are on (not urban) spanish/latin music with a lot of classic guitar. This means he literally has the option of going, off-white shirt or black top with very little shinies if at all. Red accents are allowed.
He's the one i have more vague in my mind but fl Sapnap would go more on the black with golden accents, cleavage + golden jewelry. He's the most likely to wear a full black costume in competition.
Examples: (i hate suspenders to death but u get the gist)
Now, Dream. Why are him and Sapnap similar? -> shirt as costumes. I don't think Dream would go for full body tight, but also I think that his outfits really progress during the years.
Dream is a kind of a modern pop/ballad skater so I think he'd wear lighter colours and costumes that "look like clothes".
Examples (the burgundy would probs be dark green but u get it, also little cleavage because he's a coward):
For his comeback season though (after his injury and George coming to Canada for him), he does his short in a black tight costume with blue accents and his free in a off-white blouse that's more open and soft AND HE SLAYS (i love that shirt think of dream in that, his comeback, making a new record again my baby).
George now!! So, if he could he would wear full black loose tops and that's it, because 1. he doesn't like the feel of tight clothes 2. shirts are awful and he hates them.
Problem for him -> his trainer/coreographer is Stpehane Lambiel who's a drama queen and would not let him. So, because his programs are very classic, ice-prince type of coreo, he wears loose mesh outfits (give the illusion of see through but aren't really), with light blues and turqouises.
Examples (the last one my absolute fave for him, ots such a famous one but,, look at it):
Now, for their exhibition. They dance together a modern song (think virtue/moire stay) which is more on Dream's repertoire that what George's would be, but they´ve been just playing around with that song so long in the rests from training and when it was only just them that is so personal.
I think Dream wears a shirt very similar to this but with a slightly different fit (tucked in bottom, similar to George's light blue/white costume from before). Also, the back as it is but would change the front so it doesn't look like a fake jacket but as a unified one piece gradient.
For George tho, i think originally he was thinking on a loose full black with golden rhinestones (and that's what Dream thinks his costume is) but then Lambiel convinces him to change it so they match better. Makes sense with the lore okay.
He changes it to something similar to note stellata (again, a classic) but with blue as the contrast color. The cut being diagonal down to his pants instead of tucked in gives it a more "dress" look than the tucked-in shirts he usually wears and the contrast works with dream's. The flowy bits give contrast from the tightness of the rest of the shirt and the silhouette!!
This one would've been designed to work with Dream's so the match would be better okay, it's hard to find men's costumes that already match for pairs
fs dream having a bad grand prix season because of pressure/injuries and withdraws from the competition halfway, and that's the year sapnap wins worlds and when they interview he says in the podium it should have been them three. And George flying that season to be with dream and helps him through recovery and gets so much better himself, and they get to fall in love with the sport once more,
And for the next season dream has a beautiful new program and beats the record for fs and he made it, he made it And George and sapnap come to hug him in the kiss&cry because he deserves to be there and they can all be together
How do dnf meet here + would their dancing styles complement. like how does skating as pairs work
okay so 1st: meeting, this is super easy but tricky
all figure skaters basically know each other as in, they're in the same competitions, exhibitions and circles, so for them to know each other is super easy. "actually being friends and dteam wise" not as easy. dnf would bond over having the worst sleep schedule and training at odd hours i believe.
I think Dream and Sapnap would meet both under the same coaches in the US (maybe arutnyunyan since he's one of the important ones). I have a bias against us coaches though so I believe Dream would actually move to work with Brian Orser in Canada. (yeah i know, dream moving... but his skating style would work way better with there than in the US and there aren't any rinks in Florida anyway. also tbff George would never work with Arutnyunyan).
George being in Europe i think he'd be coached in Switzerland by Stéphan Lambiel after first having used his choreographs, but would move to Canada with Orser to be with Dream after a few years.
2. skating as a pair (exhibition, hell yea we're doing the yoi bit)
Okay so, there are two types of pairs, pair skating and ice dancing.
For the sake of realism the exhibitions will be more towards ice-dancing since pair skating has very difficult jumps and throws that they would have to had practiced for years.
Ice dancing falls more into good choreographs, great skating skills, and holds (for which dnf have a really good size difference).
If you want an example of what I'm thinking: Virtue & Moire Free Dance 2017 Worlds.
In terms of skating skills, Moire/Dream makes a lot of sense. I think Dream would have really good spread eagles and, while good with fast turns, be known for his stability and deep edges. Also his upper body strength!! He'd be so good at holds.
George would have a faster, more knee-based, skating technique which means more shallow edges and dynamic foot movement (combined with a choreo that used his whole body to balance with the music). I think he'd be awesome at maintaining one skate for long sequences (not putting one feet down) → from working on spirals and choreo elements with Lambiel.
All this to say, YES their skating skills would complement each other sooo well to ice dancing. I know they'd do a beautiful 3 combination spin with george doing camel variations.
