A Wintry Day

Here for figure skating, video games, random doodles, and always- ALWAYS- cats.

STAR WARS: ANDOR - The Axe Forgets

[inthemere]

I’m going to need someone to look me in the eye and tell me that a skater who is still bitter about another skater being chosen over him for the Olympics FOUR years ago and made a comment about it in the kiss and cry is getting a fair play award over a skater who made the audience cheer for every single skater after her for like 2 hours and literally yelled at them when they didn’t cheer hard enough, comforted two skaters heartbroken over their results (who ranked higher than her), and physically blocked a camera to stop it from filming a skater crying over losing gold - without bursting out laughing.

I’m sorry Ilia gets an award for not throwing a hissy fit that he lost gold after the worst skate of his career?? Jun hugged Misha too, where is his award?? Yuma cheered for Shun before he cheered for his medal? Yuma and Kaori CRIED when UtaMasa skated just because they had a chance to go to the Olympics. Kaori literally changed this entire sport for the better. Like Kaori singlehanded improved the entire culture and landscape of women’s skating and where is her freaking award? Alyssa is out here calling skaters from other countries here teammates. I’m not an Amber shooter but her not getting it is kind of embarrassing. I swear misogyny is a crazy drug

Look at her flying out there. What are we going to do without her. 😭

marin_honda: 2024 vs 2026 When I looked back through my camera roll, I found a record of growth! lol (Highly recommended to watch with sound lol) Ice dance was a series of incredibly difficult challenges. Each one led to new views and experiences, and it became a very important program where I was able to grow a lot. The next Shin-Yokohama performances will feature a new program! 🔥🔥 I hope we can deliver some surprises!!!!! shoma_un0: Going all the way back through the 2024 camera roll, the ‘Did we do it? Did we do it?’ moments are the funniest part.

My cats watch me march in circles around the living room at quarter to midnight trying to squeeze another 800 steps in before the day ends and just *know* that they are the superior species.

rb with your most common recurring theme in your nightmares. mine is pregnancy

[wintrydapples]

It’s the end of the semester and I realize I haven’t attended one of my classes even once. Or, I’m at work and realize I’ve double booked a spot and two students have shown up at the same time.

[wizardarchetypes]

that said you will not hear me complaining about the rain here ever. i love it so much and whenever people are like “ugh i mostly love it here but the rain 😩 if it rained less it would be perfect” i’m like not to be blunt but you sought work in a rainforest and then saved up money to move to a rainforest and then you looked for apartments in a rainforest and then you put down a $3,500 deposit in a rainforest and then you drove 1500 miles to get to the rainforest. and yeah it’s raining. if it rained less it would be an ecological disaster in fact

[wizardarchetypes]

ppl here will be like “finally some sun. i hope it doesn’t rain again for a few weeks” and we’re under a multi-county burn ban + fire watch

[wintrydapples]

This, but in Utah it’s snow. “Oh no it’s snowing nooo.” We live in a high desert. That is where your summer water supply is coming from. That is what happens at high elevations. And that is what fuels our winter recreation economy. Take your snow woes to someone else. I’m busy building a snowman.

[wintrydapples]

I just can’t believe none of it mattered. None of the good, none of the bad.

[wintrydapples]

…I… have many questions about this rhythm dance

Isabeau's new FS dress is sooo pretty 🥺💞 ♡

[wintrydapples]

I’m a SUCKER for green and pink forest fairy type costumes, and I’m thrilled Isabeau (who’s costume game has been kind of poor for me up to this point) has joined this group.

More examples. I’m a SUCKER for it I tell you.

That commercial where the voice over talks about his daughter using AI to write a letter to her favorite athlete is bleak, man. On so many levels.

[wintrydapples]

Matt’s socks match Marisha’s dress and that’s goals tbh.

writing dialogue for Astarion in like a normal text editor is very difficult actually because it feels like all his dialogue should be created with WordArt

[wintrydapples]

Is being conscious of the fact that you can’t hear or see well when in dreams true for everyone? I’ll have a dream where otherwise I’m fully invested and unaware I’m dreaming, but say throughout “hmm I’m not seeing well” or “sorry I can’t hear you well.” And I assume it’s “me” recognizing that things aren’t sharply defined since it’s not real, but have also wondered if it’s “me” somehow realizing my glasses aren’t on my real body, or that my earplugs are.

Old Pencil Sharpener in Action

[wintrydapples]

That first one worked great. We should have just stuck with that.

[wintrydapples]

Finished my The Mighty Nein themed dice travel trunk. My Cricut cut the stickers with the precision of a drunk grizzly bear trying to peel open a vehicle for a box of tictacs, so not sure what that’s about.
