A Classic Houndtails Guide on How to Leg
For @foxy-mirage, a very rough guide on how I draw legs! Obviously there is no correct way of drawing them, and the way I draw them is quite stylised. But I thought I’d post it here in case anyone else wanted some help/a guide on how to draw them!
edit: fixed a panel

Oh my gosh.

“Each of the sisters renounced their vocation and left the church. In the intervening time, they have been outspoken about the church’s hardline stance against homosexuality. “God wants people happy, to live the love in the light of the sun,” Isabel reportedly told Italy’s La Stampa newspaper.”

To live the love in the light of the sun is the new go to wlw phrase of choice

Things I’ve learnt as a skater that almost never make it to fanfiction

Because I’ve read enough fics to cringe when the figure skater throws their very expensive skates in their bag and run off somewhere because nobody ever treats their skates like that.

DRY OFF YOUR SKATES.

You dry off skates with a towel so that you protect the leather and so that the blades don’t rust

You put your blades in soakers (aka basically socks for your blades) so that the condensation gets absorbed somewhere and doesn’t rust the blade

AIR YOUR SKATES they smell when left in a closed bag

It takes like 10 minutes putting on skates and like 15 minutes getting them off because you need to wipe it down

YOUR SKATES NEED TO BE REALLY TIGHT SO THEY NEED 10 MINUTES TO PUT ON

Literally everyone falls

Everyone.

Falls.

From the board huggers to the pros doing jumps and spins everyone falls and that’s natural

Just fall

TRIPPING ON TOE PICKS

The number 1 cause of falling

You can be talking to someone and then end up face down on the ice the next moment because toe pick

Stabbing yourself with a toe pick is not fun but extremely common to do so

Stabbing yourself in the boot is literally the most heartbreaking thing it’s like stabbing an expensive bag with a fork

Boots need to be replaced often if you’re skating at a high level cuz the support breaks down faster than you’ll see physical wear and tear outside of the boot

Blades need to be sharpened every 30-ish hours of usage (around once every two weeks-ish if you skate everyday)

Blades can sometimes cost as much as a boot

There is a break-in time for boots because they’re sooooo stiff

Some people wear their new skates around the house to quicken the break-in time

Boots have different stiffness ratings and you can’t get any random boot you like because you need to make sure it has sufficient padding for your foot

You can’t randomly get custom boots made for someone without their foot measurements

Boots need to fit on your feet like a damn glove

An exact fit

You can’t use anyone else’s skates unless you’re both the same size

Rental skates are pieces of shit

No matter how pro you are you’ll never be able to skate normally on rentals

WEAR GLOVES

The ice gets super cut-up and falling without gloves on can scrape your hands

It’s extremely painful when that happens

Wear gloves pls

PEOPLE WEAR PADDING

Especially if they’re learning something new

Pads for your butt, pads for your knees, heck even padded gloves

Padding protects your joints especially if you have joint problem

Like smashing your knees against the ice frequently causes you problems

A one-way ticket to old lady knees

Say goodbye to unblemished legs

Your knees will forever be bruised

Things people put in their skate bag:

Waterbottle, towels, band-aids, exercise tapes, extra socks, extra gloves, extra layers/clothes, hair-ties, skate guards, soakers, gels for blisters

You’ll notice that Olympic pros use luggages and that’s cuz they literally lug their entire house with them

Costumes, exercise mats, exercise gear, clothes, tracksuits, makeup etc

Whatever looks easy on screen is actually really freaking difficult to do

Katsuki Yuuri should technically not have been able to land the Quad Flip on a whim without practice unless he actually trained for it in Detroit

You can’t learn stuff on your own

Like you need a coach or an experienced skater to teach you the correct techniques

You need someone to spot your mistakes cuz you won’t be able to tell on your own

People record themselves for this reason

Throwing yourself in the air and spinning is difficult like try jumping and turning more than 360 degrees on land and see if you can do it well

WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET THE ZAMBONI

Skating on fresh ice after a zamboni is a religious experience

nikiforoov:

As long as they have skated together, the ice dancing team Katsuki/Nikiforov has shone on the ice. They are known for their beautiful, passionate performances, as well as their close friendship off the ice, a friendship that Viktor desperately wants to be something more. As love blooms between the two, Yuuri and Viktor share success on the ice, rising to the top of their field. And in their last competitive season, it’s finally time to show their love to the world.

Hiroko looks at her son one day when he’s a teen and she notices he’s growing into such a beautiful young man. Then she thinks about all the hearts he’s gonna break due to Yuuri being terribly oblivious and the fact that she’s already had five students today from Yuuri’s school calling the household and asking after her son.

From Salah M Abed (public post):

ICE is already killing children, guaranteed.

You’ll start to hear that inmates died after some “accidents.” Maybe a kid committed suicide by cop. Before you know it, a few will become a lot. Accidents will become on purpose.

The camps won’t stop with undocumented immigrants or asylum seekers. Expect reports about American-born residents getting thrown in. Schoolchildren outed as undocumented. Teenagers who couldn’t produce ID during a routine traffic stop. Civilians of color who happen to oppose this government will join them due to “paperwork errors.” Immigrants who became citizens long ago but lost their citizenship over a technicality they never knew about.

Trump supporters will aver that it’s too late to turn back. The private prison industry is worth billions and has unimaginable power in a Republican-controlled government. The machine has already been set in motion; they’ll claim it would “ruin the economy” and leave us “vulnerable” to gang members “in our backyard” if we stopped imprisoning families forever, making them do hard labor and drugging them against their will.

They’ll tell us there’s no point in caring. We can’t do anything about it anyway. The jacket Melania wore today, which is beyond the pale as attire choices go, will become the unironic slogan of the lumpen masses who are already willing to have their name on a literal Holocaust as long as they think Trump will get them a job.

While our country kills civilians and children and locks babies in cages, the money will keep pouring in. Jeff Sessions and Kirstjen Nielsen and Betsy DeVos and Trump’s family are making MILLIONS off of this. Sessions is already suspected to have had ties to private prison shareholders. And the rest of this administration only lifts a finger to monetize the finger.

That’s the real reason it won’t stop. The Nazis had ideology to motivate them. The Trump Administration has ideology and something far worse: money.
