figure skating recs for darkgloom

[acchikocchi]

How I acquired this knowledge: during a stressful week sometimes you just want to read a lot of really ridiculous fic covering every trope known to man.

...I have no idea who these skaters are but the boy in that vid is awful pretty. And skates nice, too ^^

[acchikocchi]

Isn't he just? ^_^ There's more of that over at jocondite's Johnny Weir Appreciation Post, if you've got time on your hands. :D

(Time in the singular, whoops.)

The problem with reading Johnny/Evan fic is, well, Evan.

*dies* Kind of exactly why I started with Johnny/Stephane first... I saw the cute youtube clips and the pics where Johnny looked like he was on Stephane's lap.

I miss the days with Plushenko and Yagudin :/

thank you for the rec list!! ♥

[acchikocchi]

sjdkads the pairs routine and the passing notes and the tickling and this picture skslajdklsds such a happy face T_T

I miss the days with Plushenko and Yagudin

omg, tell me about it, I was totally in love with Alexei Yagudin in high school. ._. (Imagine when my surprise when I later found out his reputation for hitting everything that moves is identical to Jin's, right down to the STD jokes. XD) But the Yagudin/Plushenko years were so epic. And despite the fact that I was obviously in the Yagudin camp, I totally would have taken a gold medal for Plushy in Vancouver over Lysacek. >:(

(You might appreciate this clip... *g*)

thank you for the rec list!!

Welcome! :D I totally have to add this one, too, today's part cemented my enthusiasm for it. *_*

ajsldfdkfls THE BRITNEY VS LADY GAGA BICKERING. they're so adorable T_T

*flails* another Yagudin fan!! dying, looks like there is a certain type huh... I loved the Yagudin/Plushenko years. So epic and angsty. It was the last period where I was completely and utterly obsessed with figure skaing. Too bad there wasn't a figure skating fandom back then. Or...lj... :( I know what you mean though I don't think Plushy skated half as well as he could have. If Yagudin had been there, he would have never been as sloppy with some of his jumps :(

(ajsdfjsdf CUTE CLIP IS CUTE aksdlf there is interaction!! and towels!!)

OH MY GOD THAT ONE IS MY FAVOURITE SO FAR. The glass bathroom!! *dies so hard*

I need some figure skating icons T_T

EVAN IS A LIFE RUINER WHO RUINS LIVES.

But adorable some of the time.

SO CONFLICTED!

I need skating icons.

[acchikocchi]

-- but isn't that Patrick Chan in your icon there? *rimshot*

[mananeh]

NOOOOOOOOO MER. IN MY ICON BOTH EYEBALLS ARE POINTING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.

THE MARRIAGE ONE IS THE GREATEST THING EVER

but see, my problem is not with evan's toolishness - i am cool with tool. i'm in a fandom with chad michael murray who epitimises tool. it's just - did even have to be such an orange tool?

[acchikocchi]

My primary problem with Evan is not the toolishness, it's that he's a LIFE RUINER WHO RUINS LIVES boring skater who works the system. >_< It's not ~ART~ okay. He was a cute kid, though.

sdjkad have you read this one, it's my current favorite. *_*

Talk to me since like 2006 why don't you.

[acchikocchi]

I am curious to know if he stays in competitive skating, though, since apparently he's not going to decide until the end of the summer. I'm sure even if he doesn't someone else will just pick up gaming the system where he left off. Sigh.

Also curious to know if Johnny retires, of course, but there all signs seem to point fairly clearly to "yes".
