Hey, in case you're wondering who I am, I use the same handle back on X. You may also know me as Heavenly_Pearl on AO3 or kaleidodreams on Tumblr, but feel free to call me Pearl. I love anime/manga, figure skating, and the Sims!

My dad was cleaning his room and found my bronzed first pair of shoes. Wow, I have not seen these in probably at least twenty, maybe even thirty years!

A bronzed pair of baby shoes attached to a wooden base, sitting on a black sheet. There's a small plaque in between the shoes that has been blacked out to hide identifying information.

Guinard/Fabbri in FIFTH place after the RD? With no falls? What kind of whack-a-doodle dumping is that?

Are the rights to *NSYNC's music too expensive/too difficult to get? Seriously, there are soooo many Backstreet Boys rhythm dances this season, yet I can't think of a single team using *NSYNC! (Also, there are better BSB songs than Everybody (Backstreet's Back). At least give us variety!)

If you see this, post an anime character whose name starts with your initial and pass it on!

Yay, Donovan and Kyrylo! And although I wasn't all that worried about R/A -- only an utter disaster or a late withdrawal would have cost them the spot -- it's still a relief for them to now be officially qualified.

Pearl @elysiondream.bsky.social · 28d

Thank goodness Loena secured Belgium's second spot! (Sad about Josefin, but let's be real, the Swedish fed probably wouldn't have sent her even if she had earned a spot. At least she got one Olympic experience.)

Man, what I wouldn't give for Ashley Wagner to have done an Anastasia program. I freakin' LOVE the Anastasia soundtrack! Saw the movie at the theater, then bought the CD a few days later. Only movie soundtrack I've ever owned!

Pearl @elysiondream.bsky.social · Aug 24

I haven't seen many, if any, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, or NSYNC programs announced yet, which is surprising. Those were some favorites when I was a teen in the 90s! Some early-era Mariah Carey would be nice to see, too. Oh, and Ace of Base!

YAY! After what feels like forever, I finally have my Sora (from Kaleido Star) Nendoroid! 🥳 She's super adorable, and I'm so happy to have her join my Casual!Yuri and Agape!Yuri (from Yuri!!! On Ice) Nendoroids.

A Nendoroid figurine of Sora Naegino from the anime Kaleido Star is standing on top of a Sailor Moon lunch box.

but while there's a little drama in HI, it's mostly just fun and inspirational, and the girls and their coaches are all very likeable. A great series to watch even if you don't know much about synchro!

Pearl @elysiondream.bsky.social · Aug 21

If you have access to Disney+, I highly recommend checking out "Harlem Ice", a documentary series about Figure Skating in Harlem! This is what I hoped "Breaking The Ice" would be. I ended up dropping that show after a couple of episodes since it seemed to be a lot of manufactured drama,

I really don't understand why they chose to do six full-length episodes when it would have been so easy to break it up into a full cour of shorts. It's baffling!

Pearl @elysiondream.bsky.social · Aug 13

Ooo, I hope this happens!

My favorite is Healin' Good, but Soaring Sky is a very close second!

Pearl @elysiondream.bsky.social · Jul 31

As someone who was lucky enough to see the show live in Dallas, I highly recommend checking it out while you can!

The Apothecary Diaries, but Anne Shirley was a close second!

Pearl @elysiondream.bsky.social · Jul 16

The only new shows on my list are See You Tomorrow At The Food Court and There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover, Unless... I really want to watch The Summer Hikaru Died, but that's on Netflix, which I don't have at the moment. I might check out With You and the Rain; haven't decided yet!

It's pretty much a season of sequels for me! Continuing with Anne Shirley and You and Idol Precure and watching the new cours of DAN DA DAN, My Dress-Up Darling, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, and Rent-A-Girlfriend (which is mostly terrible, although the last season was surprisingly good).

Dr Pepper, Nacho Cheese Doritos, and...if I could switch the peanut M&Ms to the plain ones, I would pick those, but if it has to be peanut, then I'll take the Snickers.

Chase Daniel @chasedaniel.bsky.social · Jul 2

Diet Coke, Cheetos Flaming Hot, & Peanut M&M’s is the only answer
