huh? you mean in that picture? I'm pretty sure I remember him wearing that one (was a while ago though. like 2014 or 2015) ETA http://hanadantsu.blog129.fc2.com/blog-entry-301.html

ehm, those "guidelines" are brought to us by people who think that CDs are high-tech and that the USB stick was invented by Satan, so......

What the..... I wasn't looking for like five minutes, off-season, what did you do??

I thought the bike thing was in regards to the "recommendation" that GOE +1 : 1 bullet, GOE +2 : 2 bullets etc. ...but, like guidelines, this is just a recommendation, so... I dunno, if a skater only hits 2 bullets, but for some reason the judge thinks that those 2 bullets were so amazing that they are more than the sum of their parts, they can reassemble their judging bike and give +3 instead. Or if a skater hits 3 bullets but the judge still wasn't impressed by the overall effect, they can just give +2 because this isn't math, these are guidelines and recommendations.

yeah, "unironically", more like taking the rulebook and literally hitting you in the face with it. Attention everyone, we are talking about guidelines! Guidelines! Do I need to repeat it for the people in the back? I can spell it out for you: g a i d e l a i n s. Guidelines aren't rules. Those are different. If the judges don't follow the guidelines, you're not allowed to bitch about it, because guidelines aren't made to be followed, they are just tools. Rules and tools sound similar, but they're totally different. If judges don't follow the rules, you're also not allowed to bitch about that, and if you do, we're just gonna call the dumb rules controversial and remove them and make more guidelines. Would be interesting though if they actually checked their own protocols before they chose these examples, just to see if the judges actually all gave +3 for those golden standards. But yeah I know those are just guidelines, so not like it matters if they did.

their names are in the tags, so probably yes

Every fandom has a crazy contingent, always has and always will. They're usually the minority by far, but they usually also are the ones who scream the loudest Ok that just sounds wrong when you read it on a mostly English-speaking forum I'll show myself out

man I can't wait to see that head to toe all gold costume including golden blades, golden boot covers, golden gloves, and possibly golden hair dye and golden spray tan the things you do to cancel out that silver curse

What a relaxing off-season after Worlds looks like: finally we can calm down and have a life and go outside and do things and... oh no wait, there's an ice show. But now we can... oh no wait, there's a parade. But now finally we can..... oh yeah the garden party. And another ice show. But maybe now we.... no, not just yet, there's another ice show and oh yeah ice show costumes, and a few million fish memes, alright, check, got that. So maybe now we... yeah no I thought so, there's another ice show. I almost forgot about that one because I was busy stressing about GP assignments. But the good news is that after the last ice show we can finally, finally.... stress out about media day and new costumes and new programs and new jumps and new layouts and judging in general and while we're at it maybe about how global warming is going to melt all ice rinks everywhere. (no I'm not insane you are)

1 second after Worlds is over: Alright, who goes where for which GP, let the speculations begin! 1 second after GP assignments are out: Alright, who should actually have gone to which GP and how did they shuffle skaters last minute, let the speculations begin! Sometimes I just can't with the internet

If I got used as a high-value trading card, I'd probably prefer being sent to Helsinki instead of the land of swimming pool rinks, cardboard coaster medals and plastic stars

I actually love Helsinki and am always happy to go back there but expensive. and no tickets on sale yet. so am already mentally preparing for the bloodbath

bloody hell, now I have to go to Helsinki?

I do believe you, but that SC site still doesn't work for even a second for me

site is pulling an ISU on me it doesn't work at all (that bloody assignment list better not do the same thing)

it's probably gonna crash just like their website

The ISU-soon comes by carrier pigeon

unless he can't sleep because he's in complete awe that the ISU actually tries to top his trolling level. That take some balls to try to out-troll Trollmaster Trolly McTrollface

lol, whut now? POTO had no sparkles and rhinestones? ehm http://pamigena.tumblr.com/post/171875826167/yuzuru-hanyu-scanedit-request-costume don't tell that to the poor costume maker

I'm worse than that whenever he says "I feel" or "I'm so" and then pauses for more than two seconds, I automatically blurt "happy" at my screen. Involuntary reflex by now.
