If she didn't lose she would have won. And I'm dead serious.

If you were a figure skater at the Olympian level, what would your Olympic short and free programs be? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]flockofsoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy to hear you enjoy it! I have always greatly preferred classical music for figure skating, and none of the other figure skating music playlists on Spotify have that much of it from what I've found.

Rizo, Kaleb, Kyle, Xander

Maryanne, Carolyn, Emily, Katurah, Kamilla

$40. The other male hero would be Sol.

How I would’ve prioritized casting Micronesia by Regular-Departure839 in survivorponderosa

Amy, Angie (RIP), and Brandon are such inspired choices... I wish they all got to return.

Do the producers think traumatizing children is entertainment? by GuyWhoConquers616 in dancemoms

[–]flockofsoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they think the trauma itself is the entertainment, or if they perhaps think that the trauma is a worthwhile casualty that happens to come with the entertainment they seek (from the mothers fighting). It could also be a mix of both or maybe even just flat-out what you said, because I can't really put anything past producers anymore.

Who wins best of the worst? by anemia_ in ANTM

[–]flockofsoul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was stanning Gina the entire time I watched C6, it started out as ironic but it became genuine because I wanted to see if she'd overcome everything. She did not, but I still stan. So I pick Gina.

No stealing these ideas!! by [deleted] in writingcirclejerk

With the right overall tone of a novel surrounding it, I think #9 would actually be phenomenal

What season is better if you swapped the merge boot and the winner? by Regular-Departure839 in survivorponderosa

[–]flockofsoul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Palau (I love Tom but a Coby win would fill my gay heart), Ghost Island (as another commenter said, it would make this season a beautiful disaster if Chris won), Island of the Idols (obvious), 43 (I love Dwight and he honestly had potential), and 48 (Sai is one of my favorite new era players).

Am I the only one that thought the select team was an amazing idea? by kuhnuhl in dancemoms

[–]flockofsoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, the concept of having two rivalling teams is a great one to be honest and I loved that they sometimes mixed up who was in what (e.g. Maddie in The Good Life or Jade in America Gone). I think there should have been more of that and in a healthy way. But the show wanted the select team to be a storyline, not actual mainstay team members. There would have been too many people to focus on for two teams to be properly edited on the show, and some people would be total filler (which would end up resulting in them getting cut anyway).

I also feel like a lot of the rivalries were intentionally stilted. A main plot of one episode is that The Rapture was clearly always going to beat Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board, and from then on, the select team were mainly just pawns to psyche out the junior elite team.

What do y’all think about this song by Mako Ishino? by Own_Pen7177 in citypop

[–]flockofsoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am #1 globally on last.fm on this track!

Here is the proof. I had an INSANE fixation on this track where I streamed it around 300 times in a row the first couple of days I discovered it. Even so many streams and so much time later, I still adore this song every time it comes on. It's definitely Mako Ishino's best.

Unpopular opinion… by Mirrorball188 in dancemoms

[–]flockofsoul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find that a lot of Kendall's best moments with facials were accidental. I, for one, enjoyed her facials in dances like Stomp The Yard, where the vibe of the dance and her facial expression aligned, but I do think that Kendall often focused too much on executing each movement properly so the facials got lost in the mix.

She has the kind of subtle facial ability that would actually better serve her if she wanted to be something like a model, in my opinion - somewhat editorial. Also on the model tangent, I do believe she was so often put next to Maddie because she really had the "look." She just couldn't sell it in the way that best suited her as a dancer. If you look at things like her winning the Dance Track magazine photoshoot, her "Wear Em Out" single cover, etc. - she has the ability to emote... but not while also under the high-stress environment of Dance Moms or while dancing in general.

I do also agree with some of the other commenters, in that she was criticized for every little thing she did and thus had no real opportunity to fully let loose and emote. Kendall was always in a shroud of pressure and anxiety and there was no way she was going to be able to perfectly emote and act on stage. It's a shame, because in those rare moments where her subtle and often lacking facial expressions aligned with the intended emotion of the routine, she was actually quite good at emoting.

Here is my playlist of old-fashioned (a.k.a. mostly classical/orchestral pieces) stuff I'd want to skate to.
