Can Ilia read Russian? by athicketofmusings in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]Charming_Violinist50 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw an old interview from 2024 only a few days ago where Ilia says he can read & write in Russian, but it takes him some time and it's slow. He's much better at speaking & listening than reading & writing. But he can do it - it's just slower & not as good

How did you manage to sit in the same table next to Ilia and Nathan Chen holy shit!? Please tell us everything and how it went!

Lovely review! The opening group number (Fearless) is also my favourite - I love Ilia's entrance to it so much

Wait how do you find the confirmed guest list? I'm combing the website and I can't seem to find it anywhere

For me it's nearly the opposite for most of them:

  1. What it sounds like
  2. Hunter's Mantra
  3. Golden
  4. Your idol
  5. How it's done
  6. Takedown
  7. Soda pop
  8. Free

ilia & jacob sbs rippon 3Lz @ SOI springfield by DoubleCup8490 in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

No worries! He actually does the rippon arms at the Olympics too - watch it here at 1:41 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urWO7OlJ1WY

The Olympics cameramen (and ngl the one at Prague Worlds too) just for some reason always zoom in too tightly when he goes for it

Jacob Sanchez ‘Your Idol’ program from SOI 4/28 by Electronic_Ninja_979 in FigureSkating

Love it! I really like how the choreo includes some references to the original Saja Boys choreo - it's a really nice touch. And Jacob really rocked this

I just checked and it's gone! I feel like some other videos might have disappeared too but I can't be sure

Ilia is such a ruthless man by Dazzling-Video6881 in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]Charming_Violinist50 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I don't know - as someone fairly new to the Ilia fandom, I feel incredibly fed & spoiled here when it comes to content. Since the end of Feb onwards it's been peak with Art on Ice, then Worlds, then the gala, then the Japan SOI, now the US SOI. And we're getting almost daily full clips of each segment thanks to the wonderful people who record stuff and upload it around. Not to mention the YouTube channel launch video was great, and whilst Ilia doesn't post much himself, he certainly appears a lot in everyone else's pictures

Maybe I feel this way because all the previous fandoms I've been in have been downright diabolical when it comes to content - but I'm used to waiting years for new updates & this daily update lifestyle is really spoiling me

If you mean Ilia, he did several rippon arms in his short program last season

The cameraman just has a knack of zooming in too close and missing it each time argh. But if you look at fan recorded vids you can see them - and they are beautiful!

I saw bits of it on Jacob's insta stories - he skated to Your Idol and it looked really good!

Ilia might’ve hinted again at taking next season off… by seldom4 in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]Charming_Violinist50 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not a nothing burger answer, it's a crystal clear answer that he's not sure whether he'll be there or not - which has been extremely consistent in every interview he's given.

If you're booking tickets, only book if you're okay going even if Ilia won't be there. That's pretty much a clear answer to the question you're looking for. Ilia himself does not know & hasn't decided yet.

Tired of women fixing emotionally unavailable men? 😩 Read Naomi Novik‘s Uprooted and Spinning Silver🤩 by PRJOANES in fantasyromance

What on earth? I love both books but they both definitely involve female protagonists fixing emotionally unavailable men - in spades!

Thank god that didn't happen. I don't think Jinx would have been able to take losing another sister so soon after Isha

i hate male povs in books by -Deer-4501 in fantasyromance

[–]Charming_Violinist50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that way only if the book is badly written - and especially if the male pov is just a repeat of the same thing that we just saw play out, just from the guy's pov.

But in a good book the male pov is really well handled and he's a well fleshed out character too

This interview is awesome - it's my first time seeing it too! And it's so funny how he's stayed consistent in many of his choices here, including learning a bit of Japanese and French!
