omg I just now realized Ilia’s transgression was … popping 😭 “If you pop that [jump] one more time…”

Creators don't owe you anything. You are the audience, no matter how big of a fan you claim to be. You don't get to change how a story is told, and have no right to hurt the people telling it. Seeing my friends be harassed infuriates me, and anyone I ever catch doing that will be blocked on sight.

A whole new generation of resilient girl kissers was born today because of Amber Glenn at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, and I think that's just fantastic ✨ #olympics #figureskating

Now that the Olympics are over, I will return to writing gay smut and being depressed about my writing. No, I'm not a figure skating expert and, for the record, I'm not American. I'm a fangirl obsessed with this sport and with a certain figure skating anime. Ty for following and bearing with me.

alysa liu!!!

Did the results always match what I wanted? No. Yet this was still infinitely better than anything that happened in Beijing where the mood was insurmountably awful. Here’s hoping 2030 can continue the upwards trend. But who will take the selfies?🥲 #milanocortina2026 #figureskating

The best news all day!

😭 #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️

So the guy who hugged Misha at the end of his performance was Jackie Chan? I feel really stupid now. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

FSSKY WE DID IT!!! We have truly been through it together these past 15 days. I don't think anything could have prepared us for our first Olympics together here, but it was an honor and a privelege to mourn and celebrate our terrible/beautiful sport together. See you in a few for worlds 😘⛸️

I'm obsessed with how Alysa's skirt swishes around. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

PANDA ON ICE +10000 GOE!!! #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Kaori 😭 🥹 #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️

I was busy crying through Kaori's programme and capitvated by Ilia's angsty artistry, but why the hell are FB/C skating their free dance in the gala but with a different music? I swear it looks like that. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

A million dreams isnt just the dreams Kaori had for herself but for the future of women’s figure skating in Japan. She’s carried the burden of expectations for so long, building a legacy for herself and building up the younger skaters under her to carry it forward. #milanocortina2026 #figureskating

Adam Siao Him Fa is built for Olympic ice. He has the charisma and presence to meet the energy of that rink. Gala favourite program for me. #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️

RIP Ilia, Junhwan and Tim, but, well, they had it coming 😂 I will never get tired of that program #figureskating #MilanoCortina2026

Junbauer....what a beautiful one to close out his Olympics. #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️

Where are my figure skating mutuals in the US watching the gala? (asking for another fan) #MilanoCortina2026

I usually skip the gala because I'm mainly interested in the competitions, but a part of me isn't yet ready to say goodbye to the Olympics and there's nothing else to do on a Saturday night. I'm in love with the star-nebula-themed background. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

"There is war between Heaven and Earth" Chapter 3 is up! While Yuuri is trying to prepare for Worlds, Viktor has opinions™ on the Olympics in his and Chris's brand-new episode of The Coach's Review. archiveofourown.org/works/789654... #YuriOnIce #YoI #fanfiction #viktuuri

I should get my own medal for finishing this despite the post Olympic slump

If there has to be a 'neutral' athlete at the gala, can we maybe swap Adeliia for Petr? I can't forget his nasty little smirk when Kyrylo got his FS score and I need Niina to avenge him.

I'm going to be less online until Worlds. I'm exhausted, I need a fucking break and I don't have anything to say that's interesting or funny. Also apologies to anyone who started to follow me because of the Olympics. I'm not a figure skating expert, I'm just an airheaded screaming fangirl.

Celebrating the Olympic podium with 20% off all my Alysa and Kaori prints and originals!

Preemptive reply to the "You don't have to like AI but it's the future so you'd better get used to it": I think you'll find that I don't have to get used to anything. I will live in a unabomber-style shack in the middle of the forest before I allow an LLM to think for me

I DO love a thing about Eteri being shit. www.bbc.com/sport/articl...

Good morning to us all, skyline, in this new era of Figure Skating

#MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️ healed all my lingering trauma from the Beijing Olympics. The team event was fun and we've got a medal ceremony right afterwards(!). Pairs was fantastic. The men gave me a déjà vu from 4 years ago but the free skating averted it, and the women's event was nature healing. /1

🍑🌸BEWILDERING BLOSSOMS🌰🍊 Spring's great conundrum...which blossom is which?🤔 There comes a period in the year when species of ume, quince, peach, cherry and almond trees can all be seen in bloom🔍😵‍💫 #blossom #Kyoto #Japan #京都 #cherryblossoms #梅 #桜 #桃 #木瓜 #アーモンド

she is so protective of her fellow skaters (alysa and isabeau too!) even as people have been awful to her on social media since the team comp and i love that about her

amber shooing away the cameraperson from kaori sobbing...during ami's program she was comforting mone chiba who was upset...making sure every skater got a standing ovation while she was in the leader's chair...really respect her so much

I'm so thrilled for this women's podium! They all did so well and they deserve their victory so so much. Neverhless, I'm heartbroken for Kaori because she missed a combo and thus missed the gold. After she missed Olympic gold to the Eteri girls in Beijing, I wanted her to end her career with a bang.

This photo by the AFP's Wang Zhao is everything right about figure skating

“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.” she did it! her! way!!

Finally here for the women's free skating. As it seems, my VPN has given up completely, but at least this is the final event and I expect to be more upset about more fundamental things later. 🧵 #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Due to the women's free skating I'm also gonna post Chapter 3 of "There is war between Heaven and Earth" either right afterwards (midnight CET) or sometime tomorrow.

A rest day special post from me! Figure skating could use a beloved women's Olympic champion after 16 years of controversial winners, but will we get one? #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️ elzyg.com/blog/2026-ol...

Hoping for another moment like this tonight, with lots of love and excitement 🕯️

I've bought beer and I'm gonna distract myself until the women's free with a gorgeous fantasy novel and meeting up with my neighbour after work. Stay strong my figure skating mutuals, we're gonna get through this together!

Bad news, I still feel hungover. I will need a looong holiday after tonight to recover from this.

since olympic figure skating has been so stressful this year, here is a thread of soothing and beautiful figure skating performances! in no particular order and pulled from various sources, since many skating videos on youtube are geoblocked in the US

Cast Away Went to the movies with a group, was outvoted and had to watch 2.5 hours of Tom Hanks talking to a fucking ball just for his wife to dump him at the end. (I might have wrongfully hated on cinematic masterpiece for 25 years since I was 18 and stupid, but I won't watch it again to find out)

This is a flat out lie. They have never once expressed sympathy for Russia, the country. The show and books portray Russia as a dangerous, homophobic place and the show and books supportive individual queer Russians who are persecuted for their sexuality.

the five stages of #figureskating fandom

What a queen! 😍 I want to be her when I grow up.
