Think I've said this before but the thing that really gets me about Yuri On Ice is that it's so much kinder than the world we live in. Russia isn't violently homophobic. Men's figure skating isn't homophobic. The Russian coach won't let his youngest star do quads until he's old enough to do them safely. Just things that should be true but aren't yet.

Eteri is talking shit again....
I hope Sasha really did throw her skate at her head tbh (but she probably didn't, and she's just shit talking 🙄)
Also, please tell us who told them to leave you, we need to know who to stan 🙏
I'm not even gonna speak on what she said about Kamila
Also, I would get tired, too, if I was being emotionally and physically abused by my coach.....

Well, it’s the court date for Kamila Valieva finally. I hope justice is served & she gets a ban, however, she is still the victim, not the mastermind. Her coaches & any other adult in her life that allowed this to happen deserve to be punished, they deserve to lose their coaching licenses & should be criminally charged with child abuse & yet, there seems to be no push to do anything. The ones fully at fault are the ones getting away with it. It’s sickening & it speaks volumes to what a girl is worth, not only in Russian sport but in this world. Abuse them for your own gain & leave them to suffer the consequences of your actions. Kamila needs to be punished because she can’t go the rest of her life thinking what happened is okay but at the end of the day she was a 15 year old girl doped by her federation & the adults who are supposed to protect her for what is essentially just a game. Team Tutberidze & every other adult responsible deserves to suffer & lose everything. Not only for this case but for all the other girls who have been, are & will be abused if they do nothing. I have very little faith in justice being served since bribery runs thick but this matters for many reasons even outside of sport so I will continue to hope the right thing is done. I hope one day we see a healthy & fair Russian sport system, but until then, they do not deserve any form of representation in international sport at any level! & lastly, I hope we see Russia lose their “gold” in shame & we see a joyful medal ceremony for USA, Japan & Canada at Paris 2024.

ik i spoke about it in the tags of the isabeau levito post but i really do intensely dislike the way the us fed and coaches are framed against the russians. there’s this idea that the american way of coaching is (morally) better, that the children aren’t exploited or coached in dangerous and unhealthy ways, and it’s very odd to me because surely we can all see that that isn’t for lack of trying? there were strong hints of it with alysa, and its become abundantly clear with isabeau, that the only reason the us system is any better is because they can’t figure out how to emulate the russian one. they want their factory chain of child prodigies, and the only reason they don’t have it is because they don’t know how. 
it pains me so much to see commentators and reporters and some american fans speak about the us system like its the best thing ever and then turn around and criticise sambo 70 like!! the call is coming from inside the house!!

nothing pisses me off more than how figure skating reporters/news will constantly and intentionally leave out important details of stories in order to produce ragebait for people who don’t know anything about figure skating
#like i’m sorry but surya bonaly is NOT the hill you want to die on.#they banned backflips BEFORE SHE WAS EVEN COMPETING because guess what!#USFSA/ISU doesn’t want to deal with skaters breaking their fucking necks and dying on live tv!#or make young skaters feel like they Have To Learn how to do it and then fucking dying because of how INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS it is.#dont get me wrong figure skating is conservative and racist as fuck and surya bonaly faced some pretty horrific racism in her career#but banning the backflip had absolutely nothing to do with her and everything to do about not having skaters fucking die#also i’m not sorry but her edgework fucking sucked. like her jumps were incredible i can’t lie but her edges were. painful to watch at best#see also: everything regarding the sambo 70 and eteri#i am so sick and fucking tired of seeing people who don’t skate just hype up these incredible abused teenagers and hail them like gods#they don’t need fame they need HELP and eteri needs to be in fucking JAIL for what she’s done to SO MANY KIDS#i hope this sport gets more boring!! i hope i see less quads and less teenagers!!#what i want to see is competitive skaters who are still able to skate when they’re 25+ because their training was healthy and genuine#i want to see good technique and clean lutz edges and no full blade assistance on toe jumps bc thats what will save your joints#i want to see skaters with muscle and fat who have healthy relationships w/ food and their bodies and are stronger for it#this sport is so fucked. it’s a joke. i love skating but i wish i never had to interact with the community around it#ESPECIALLY those who have never gone through the sport themselves. stop getting off on abused children and start advocating for SAFETY#rosie speaks

The way so many anons on here who feel so comfortable invalidating someone's experience, and for WHAT? No one would be going this hard like this if it was posted by someone from any other studio. Molly isn't going to fuck you just because you're on here insulting a teenager on her behalf. Y'all are frfr giving off the same vibes as the Eteri simps

okay to state very clearly for the record - no matter your opinions of kamila valieva as either a skater or a public figure, she is a child in an abusive situation, and the blame for both the doping and how it was presented to the public afterwards fall on the adults in her life

IWTV Figure Skating AU headcanons
Because I miss figure skating and IWTV is my current hyperfixation. Probably only fellow fs stans understand this, but whatever.
Louis de Pointe du Lac:
His most known program is definitely his The Swan. Choreo: Gubanova's The Swan. Costume: Hanyu's Notte Stellata. Strong skating skills as good as ice dancer, deep knee bent, flexible, so he can do layback ina bauer and difficult spins.
Tend to go to brighter music for short program (jazz, hip hop etc) while doing something heartfelt for free skating.
Pretty consistent as a skater. Keep getting high scores on Skating Skills and Presentation. Unfortunately he doesn't have big quads (only 4T to 4F, when he wants to risk it) and he's Black. so USFSA doesn't really support him and doesn't get that American over scoring. Even though he has saved USA's spots at Worlds etc many times with his consistency (just like Jason Brown)
Lestat de Lioncourt:
Typical European showman. Known for his character free skating programs. Reference: Javier Fernandez (second example). Pretty good skating skills, jump technique is decent. Actually pretty stable jumper, has all big quad jumps except 4A, but he can't focus sometimes so his axis is messed up.
Definitely always brings out the most chaotic programs for Exhibition and they always go viral and give you secondhand embarrassement.
Representing France ofc. Complete with French overscoring. at least 3 times European champion in a row. For drama, the president of French federation is still Didier and they have love/hate relationship. Running his mouth like Scott Moir at press conferences. Sometimes do backflips just to send fuck you to judges if he feels they're underscoring him (usually happen at Worlds, thanks to Russia and USA). He gotta continue that French tradition.
Armand:
For drama he is representing Russia. His coach is Marius. And Marius is basically Eteri, and he's his (current) number one girl.
Has all the quads and he'll backload the heck of them for score (that rule still exists here idc). Skating Skills aren't as good as Loustat but he has a huge TES and Russia fed backing. And almost always land his jumps.
Tend to use warhorses in his programs. Known for his long limbs and fast paced transition. Has been skating since novice and gets called the prodigy since the beginning. References: Yulia, Evgenia.
European champions are always between him and Lestat. They've been rivals since junior. But unfortunately since Marius is Eteri, sometimes he has to skip competitions for injury. He's way more relaxed during exhibition programs
Okay, now if they're a team:
De Pointe du Lac/de Lioncourt:
(Not to be biased but) chemistry on Virtue/Moir level. Definitely representing France, because USFSA is stupid and Lestat points a gun on Didier's head to take Louis. Coached by Zueva.
Combining Louis' elegance and Lestat's character by performing classic Hollywood pieces with storytelling. Debuting with this FD by Virtue/Moir. Ofc they go to the Olympics with this Moulin Rogue program as well, complete with the crotch kissing lift 😏
Definitely has a rumor they're secretly married going for them.
De Pointe du Lac/(insert Armand's last name here):
Unfortunately, no choice other than representing Russia. Coached by Tatiana Tarasova (but she likes Louis don't worry!).
Tend to use haunting classical music. Very synchronized, very classy. Reference: (a must watch!) Gordeeva/Grinkov's iconic Moonlight Sonata. Or Torville/Dean's Bolero.
Bonus: Claudia
Definitely best known for her teenage spirit and her Romeo & Juliet program.
Known for her big jumps, 3A, and musicality. That one girl who goes "I'll beat the men as well. Just watch" Reference: Kostornaia
