Haley and Nik's RD was really reworked for Nats since their last outing at GP Sheffield (they skate at 1:13:00) The earlier version (30:30 below) was kind of suave but a little sleepy, but the new one hits harder, and they looked sharp.
They only kept one song from the earlier version, Quizas, and moved it from the beginning to the middle and used faster and higher energy music for the start and finish. They totally changed the order of elements and put a flashier rotational lift to end instead of starting with a straight line.
And they skated their FD so well too-- so many nuances and details on the music which weren't there 2 months ago
their FD outscored S/F's by 3.38 pts but the RD had some pretty stingy judging - judge 4 had them in 10th place by GOE but 6th in PCS- tell me how that makes sense. judge 4 had their tech marks lower than Alyssa and Jacob and Emmy and the other Jacob, and gave their Rotational Lift a 0 😳 when the other judges ranged from +2 to +4. and judge 3 was harsh with the PCS. 😑 a quarter point put them in 5th instead of 4th. at least they clearly showed they're still improving, and quickly, too. They deserve 2 GP’s next year

ARIIIII HI HELLO HEY !!! i got a bit busy (i hate assessments) but I'm back and I will soon read all the things I added to my tbr that you posted !! soooo excited hehe :3
I wanted to ask how you guys are playing phanpara.... i also want to see all the fun stuff and play.. ☹☹ manifesting the banners for you so you get them easily <333
- ❄ anon
❄️ ANON MY LOVE !! welcome back!!!! :3 i hope your assessments went well…. i’m proud of you for working hard 🫂🫂🫂 AND PLS don’t feel any pressure w the tbr, my fics will always be here when you have the time !!! <3333
BUT YES . phanpara ….. i’m not gonna lie to you anon getting it downloaded on ios was a whole trial of will but 😭😭 it’s actually. fairly simple. it’s easier on android (you just need to download a bunch of apps to emulate it!!) but on ios you need to manually change your appstore region to japan. and then download a vpn app. the biggest downside w ios is that there aren’t really any good translator apps!! :(( on android you can get bubble translate which lets you translate on screen text really easily…. but you won’t get anything like that on ios. so you won’t understand what the characters are saying (unless you take screenshots and throw them into an image translator)….
buuut if you’re still fine with that!! (assuming you have ios and not android)…. then i’ll leave the instructions down below :33 i’ll try to make them as clear as possible but just ask if you have any more questions!! i’d love to help!!! phanpara is sm fun…
ok so . here are all the steps !!
1) make a new appstore account!!
this step is easy :3 … i don’t. remember how i did it tho. pretty sure you just go to the appstore browser page?? or something.., and then you obv just need to add a name and a functional email address!
when you’ve made a new account, make sure that your ios is logged into it . just go to settings -> click your profile -> click on the appstore icon -> log out from your usual account and log in on the new one!! then you just need to press ”show account” to go to the next step.
2) change your region to japan!!
this is the complicated step. it’s not really that complicated though it just took me a while to figure it out 😭😭 you can use this site for reference if my descriptions confuse you lol
when you try to change your region to japan, you’ll be forced to add your name and your address. you can use your normal name (assuming it’s made up of english letters), but you’ll need to generate a jp address!! it’s actually kinda easy. this is the website i used!! it lists all the information you need in the correct order, so just . copy and paste into the settings . (i believe you’ll need to choose the prefecture manually, so just look at the prefecture name on the website and match it with the options ios gives you!!) street name, prefecture, city, zip code, phone number… etcetc. this may or may not be an illegal process but if you’re a gacha enjoyer i’m assuming you like living life on the edge.
you’ll also get the option to add a payment method, but you should be able to skip it by choosing the option at the bottom. this is important because otherwise it won’t let you change your region (unless you happen to have a japanese credit card hanging around)….
when you’ve entered all the necessary information, click the blue text in the top right corner to move on!! if you’ve done everything correctly you should be taken to the jp appstore :3
3) download phanpara + ovpnspider!!
now you’re almost done!!! downloading phanpara should be easy, just search for it in the appstore and. well. download it. when i did this i had to click through some ios popup page..??? but just . click your way through it. trial and error. until it lets you download the app <33
while phanpara is loading, download ovpnspider!! this one is super easy and doesn’t take up much space at all. when it’s finished downloading, just go into the app, go to the ”jp” folder and connect to one of the vpns!! the status has to be ”alive”, but any of them should work :3
4) play phanpara !!
now you should be good to go <33 the only issue is that the vpn can be a little difficult sometimes. phanpara might take a bit to load, and throw you out if the vpn disconnects, but as long as you just exit the app and change the vpn there shouldn’t be any issues. could be a little bothersome sometimes but you get used to it quickly!! just make sure that you’re connected to a vpn, enter phanpara, and play :33 for me it takes up roughly 5gbs of space, so make sure your phone can handle it!!
aaaaand that’s it <333 i’m sorry if this is just. gibberish 😭😭 or if i’m making it sound more complicated than it is …. and pls let me know if it works for you!!! i’d love to be friends in game if you make an account :33 then you’ll be able to use my gojo in battle … hehehe ……..

with the dan always looking done during spon thing, do they not worry the sponsors will see that and not work with them/not pay them or something? like i GET it why dan would look done like that advertising this stuff but wouldn’t the sponsors be put off by dan doing stuff like that? or their talent agency or whoever tell him to maybe look a bit less like he wants to evaporate from existence when #sponning
If he’s gonna look so done during them aren’t they best either not taking sponsors they or dan obviously don’t care about, or only doing them to advertise companies/products they actually have interest in. i don’t mean this in a mean way to dan just curious how he keeps getting away with his obvious disinterest during them lol
i think companies know the average person is desensitized to ads so why bother trying to get someone to fake enthusiasm when you're better off allowing an influencer with a large audience to say whatever because statistically one of their followers will need a VPN at that moment and their favorite person just gave them a discount code. it's not what they're saying, it's about getting it out there for brand visibility

oh hi! this is taylor swift (obviously) wishing you a belated happy birthday, because i made a terrible discovery while i, taylor swift, was in stockholm last weekend: you can't send anonymous tumblr messages without logging in first anymore! and i don't like logging into my accounts on hotel wifi, because i am taylor swift, so this ruined my plans to send you a timely birthday message! please accept this late token of my appreciation
Hi actual Taylor Swift! It was so sweet of you to make time to wish me a happy birthday in between busy Swedish concerts. Thank you so, so much. This absolutely made my night, and made me feel just as happy and loved to hear a little later. I'm so sorry about the hotel wifi, but I heard your peformance was really "good" and "cool" and "my friend Mary enjoyed the TTPD set and Midnights bodysuit the regular amount."

Here the same anon from before after some deep thinking on this big bro bestie trope with Childe. Actually, screw the bromance. Having your big brother and his best friend for years fighting each other before your eyes because the second told the first he was into you would be dark and pretty scary but actually fit Childe.
"Love you buddy, but if I win I date your sister, she'll be mine and it's totally worth it"
Pretty sure fighting a family member of his wife-to-be would be some sort of kink for him (even more if the say family member is his long time friend). It's like, winning the hand of his wife by his own ? Yeah. He's the kind of guy who would be into that. And after beating your brother until he's K.O on the ground he would look at you all proud and with a bright smile waiting for a praise and a kiss.
he likens it to a duel for your hand in marriage, being all smug and showy about it when he wins. not even your father or any such figure in your life would bother him as much as your brother because of the bro code. but then again, if he marries you, they can be brothers for real! think about the ✨possiblities✨
