Tuffron's Hideaway

Basically my blog. My ideas, things I like.

Suddenly remembered that one time I was coming home from the Ren Faire dressed as OOT Zelda, and we stopped off to eat at iHop, and there was a dad with two little girls there. And mentally i was like 'hohoho perhaps the girls will be excited to see A Princess, as I would have at that age' but what happened instead was the dad saw me and his eyes went REALLY wide and he gasped and said "PRINCESS ZELDA??????"

In Super Mario 64, the texture for the flowerbeds is actually taken from a very small cropped segment of a photo of a flower field from a Japanese texture library CD, with additional flowers drawn on top of it.

Due to the extremely small part of the source image that was used, making it very hard to identify, this was only discovered in 2025, 29 years after the game's release.

Adam Siao Him Fa (FRA)

2024 World Championship Free Skate (206.90)

[ao3cassandraic]

So, I need y'all to understand the many levels on which this was an epic free skate. He'd had an appalling short program. Total bomb (for him). Under 80 points. For reference, 80 points is respectable, 90 points is terrific, and 100 points is next-level in elite men's short programs.

Nineteenth place going into the free skate. NINETEENTH of twenty-four. And he'd come in a favorite for gold!

So he goes out there and lays THIS down. And because he is who he is, he throws the backflip in at the end despite it being a competition-illegal element that will get him a deduction. Because what the hell, right? He's not even close to medal contention. (And it's a bit of a fuck-you to the International Skating Union, which racistly refused to legalize the move when French skater Surya Bonaly, who is Black, became the first to land it one-footed at the Olympics.)

Scores over 205 points with it, which for an elite men's free skate is next-level. EVEN WITH THE BACKFLIP DEDUCTION.

And ends up winning the frickin' bronze medal. From nineteenth to THIRD. Which, if you're not familiar with figure skating competitions, means that he skated early on (to the point that if you'd been watching live on US network TV you would not have seen his skate) and competitor after competitor after competitor simply couldn't catch up to his score, until the very final skaters in the final group.

First Worlds medal for a French man in, like, fifteen years.

And after this, the ISU rolled its eyes, said "Fine, be that way" in multiple languages, and legalized the backflip in competition.

ADAM SIAO HIM FA, gentlefolk.
