Today was Flinta* Session at my local skate hall! I took my rock to fakie on a bigger quater and started working on proper 50 - 50 axle stalls. Some kind people encouraged me to try powerslides and I kinda got them :) I feel like I am actually having some progress going on! Satisfying as fuck <3

Yuri on Ice was such a life changing anime, especially to have experienced in real time waiting for those episodes to drop every week. It was an open acknowledgment and love letter to queerness, to valuing and creating art, to loving yourself and loving those around you and it’s no surprise that it had such a large impact on those who watched it. Not to mention how stunning it was to be presented with an open letter to queer love during a time where same sex marriage and gender equality was still a very hot and controversial topic. It’s, in its own way, nestled itself into history.

It may not be in the way we all expected or hoped, but see you next level.

The WildRift cinematic for Firelights Reignite (a canon event) dropped and Heimerdinger has a bad habit.

He keeps trying to emulate his students... poorly

Clearly he should stick with being a toymaker.

Sidenote: This is all kind of super ironic because Viktor's original bio had credit for his work stolen by an Academy professor. Then there's that Tales from Runeterra where Heimerdinger uses Ekko's work to build a hoverboard too. There's a pattern here and I just can't verbalize it yet

Time to choose the Daily Sketch for Tuesday 23th of January !

Aziraphale, performing his "Falling Angel" routine

OR

Crowley, performing his "Fallen Serpent" routine

Time to choose!

Well, I was able to draw a lot during this weekend, and I had so much fun completing my next Tribute (something about Ice skatiiiiiing but hush, you've heard nothing from me, mmh?).

I LOVE this wonderful AU, so those sketches took me almost 2 hours 4 hours and a half each, but I hope it worth it!!! I know their clothing may not be appropriate for a real Ice Skating Contest, but whatever, my dear Ineffable Husbands are stunning anyway :-p

And this Monday 19h00 UTC, the Wives ARE back! (link!)

i landed my first waltz jump today! and then a bunch more after that! i don’t have a video because it’s tricky to record myself, especially in a public session, but i’m very excited and i’ll try to get a video of it in the future!

I’m chronically ill. I’m a figure skater. I use a cane when I’m not skating cause I have really severe chronic pain that gets especially flared up by any warmth. And this morning I had the bright idea of “guys, fall is coming, I’m gonna go on a run this morning. Just a quick 10 minute run.” I then went on said run (against all better judgement telling me “this is going to be bad for you later, you’re allowed to let your body rest, you’re already athletic, you don’t need to prove that to anyone, you need to stop ignoring your health.”).

For context I live in Texas. And I only get pain relief in very cold environments (such as the rink). It was 78° at 6am. And humid. I’m flared up to no tomorrow. I only ran for 10 minutes and when I got out of the shower I fell over immediately and sublexed my hip. I just don’t know what to say really. Why does taking care of myself hurt so bad?

First Ollie over a rain drain grid! (Is that how you call it...? Maybe not.) In other words: First Ollie over something (very very flat).

I tried it two months ago and couldn't figure it out. Ollies were too early, too short, or I wasn't leaving the ground at all.

Today I cleared it multiple times!

I worked on my fingerflips too :)

I am proud of myself. Go me!

Sofia the First is so funny because it’s a kid’s Disney Jr Show for sure, but it’s like. Got so much going on. Like not just in the usual ‘be kind learn and grow’ way but like, all these 8 year olds are gonna grow up like “Well Mom actually I think the British Monarchy is in the wrong and should give back the royal jewels — it doesn’t matter if it’s important or been a long time. When Sofia found out the harvest crown actually had been taken by her family decades ago from the gnomes, she immediately just gave it back and apologized deeply for what they’d done even though they had their own centuries of tradition with it, because it wasn’t theirs, and brokered new social peace and cooperation between their communities and-”

M, WIP, 64k, Wangxian

Summary: When Wei Ying was thirteen, he debuted at the international scene and learned that figure skating was beauty in gravity defying strength. When Wei Ying fell in the warm-up at age of fifteen, the only thing he could think of was "What have I just done?" When Wei Ying was eighteen, he knew that the ice was just frozen water. When Wei Ying was twenty-two, for the first time in his life, he felt free. Or, a figure skating au spanning four seasons long journey of a boy who was told he'd never be able to skate again. Or, Wei Wuxian left the sport at fifteen and then came back, because of Lan Zhan. Simple as that. Kay's comments: The figure skating AU that has my heart in a tight grip featuring all of figure skating's ugliest sides and a messed up Jiang family and damn, Madam Yu was born for the role of messed up figure skating coach who ruins generations of kids. Heed the warnings with this story, but also give it a try, because it's really well-written and I live for Wangxian's relationship in this story. Excerpt: Later that evening, after Wuxian had managed to smuggle a snickers bar into the room without Madam Yu noticing, Lan Wangji returned with a bag for his skates and costume hanging heavily over his slumped shoulder. The only other sign that he had ever competed was evident in the way his hair stuck to his nape and a few bangs sticking out of their place. Other than that, Wangji looked ready to run a marathon. Good shape! Wei Ying practically jumped over the bed. “Lan Wangji! You got all the key points! Not even seniors do that!” He bounced over to the other boy with a grin trying to shove Luo/Lan’s paper protocol in other boy’s face, “You truly are amazing, Lan-ge!” Lan Wangji’s brows furrowed, mouth corners lowering for barely a moment. “Shameless.” He lowered his bag at the end of the bed, slamming the bathroom door behind him. There was really no reason for him to be in a bad mood, Wei Ying thought left standing in the middle of a room with his hands still raised. There was no reason for him to fight with his partner, all their levels were extremely high and the performance actually managed to impress even him! There was really no need to be that rude. The moment Lan Wangji opened the door again, Wuxian stopped with his sulking. “Wangji-ge, I truly meant it! You looked like you wouldn’t know fun if it stared into your face but you do skate so well.”

Got my drop-in today! I was really scared but figured it out taking baby steps! First I dropped in on a small bank, then took it to a bigger one. Eventually I ran down a quater pipe like 5 times to build the brave mindset. And to know how I needed to lean forward. I stomped my drop-ins on the smallest quater pipe I could find. After that went straight down a bigger one. I surprised myself, because I kind of just did it? I gave myself no time to think about it. :)

Also first rock to fakie ever! I nailed it first try and I was incredibly confused about how I managed to do that :D later on I struggled a bit and took a huge slam.

But today my falls were so good. They thaught me that there is nothing to be scared of and falling is okay :)
