Same girl. New site. Queer, polyam, bi-polar fangirl with eclectic tastes.
Vidder. Multifannish AF. Kind of obsessed with figure skating. Once got a concussion from a cat.

I'm in two vastly different starter packs, so Intro post time!
Hi, I'm Cat. The cat in my icon is named Dreadful. He's an adolescent in that picture, but he's now 18.
I'm a queer, polyam American immigrant to Canada.
I'm currently surviving on a diet of fanvids, figure skating and bibimbap.

So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it,
And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done.
And then to look the other way. To let her steal it.
I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday -
Crime.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

This is so lovely I'm gonna cry 😭
NBC/USA coverage showed that Ilia is watching the Pairs Short in the stands, chatting with Donovan and Piper. I'm glad he's hanging out and getting to watch (he seems to really love skating, heard he watched the entire Free Dance from the stands too). #MilanoCortina2026 ⛸️

Aww no! The Canadian commentators said that as children, Annika and Robert were told they had no potential, but then Kati Witt helped them get into pairs. 😭
Why are so many young skaters being discouraged when they can shine?

YEP. A real vote of no-confidence from the Fed in their up and coming pairs team who has been doing quite well am was sent to warm tie spot basically knowing they’d never be sent. Not a good way to build a program.
The commentators keep talking about Sui & Han coming back because of the weakness of the current Chinese pairs field as if Zhang & Huang don't exist, when they're the ones who qualified this spot. #MilanoCortina2026 #FigureSkating

Ilia really has a shit ton of composure for a 21 year old who just beefed it on international TV, anyway they should leave him alone and let him go scream outside for a while

This is very true about Ilia and it’s amazing how many ultra-wealthy old men are totally incapable of being this honorable

The way the judges propped up Grassl for years by ignoring his underrotations has done him a terrible disservice. Had they scored him correctly he might've worked on that and done well now. #figureskating #MilanoCortina2026
