My sisters wrote and performed a parkour ballet to fight back against a supernatural, biological attack. They incorporated a Kong vault on a downward slope into one of the most impressive fouetté turns I’ve ever seen.
Porcelain rouleau vase with powder-blue glaze and gilded decoration, Jingdezhen, China, Qing dynasty; ca. 1700.
“This type of glaze was called chuiqing or 'blown blue' in China, and known as bleu soufflé or fouetté in Europe. The powdered cobalt was blown through a bamboo cane that had a fine gauze at one of the extremities.
Objects with powdered blue glaze were produced since the late 17th century, and by the early 18th century fine gilded decorations of flowers, landscapes and symbolic motifs were added on the surface. They were particularly favoured in the Middle East but also widely exported in Europe.”
Really funny to me that Jaden just knows Ballet. Like yeah Yuya and Yuma can do impressive flips but Jaden can do a goddamn fucking fouetté in the forest in gym shoes and jeans…like hello???
Her April Fools joke? Saying to anyone who asks about what she is doing today that she is taking a day off for her mental health. Not even doing her morning exercise routine.
ok i scored sofia and stiliana's hoop EFs myself and long story short i concur with the official standings. sofia deserved gold
my scores:
sofia 10.9 DB + 6.4 DA = 17.3
stiliana 9.5 DB + 5.6 DA = 14.7
official scores:
sofia 11.4 DB + 6.1 DA = 17.5
stiliana 10.1 DB + 6.1 DA = 16.2
thoughts on difference between my scores and official scores:
sofia DB: i think they counted the pivot combo while i didn't (+0.5)
sofia DA: i think they didn't count the catch in direct roll DA while i downgraded it to a catch from large throw (-0.3)
stiliana DB: i think they counted a balance that i didn't bc incomplete roll (+0.5), and maybe counted a rotation in side inclination pivot that i thought she didn't have fixed shape for (+0.2), and maybe didn't count the last rotation of the last risk? (-0.1)
stiliana DA: idk i guess they counted 1 more roll and something else, maybe that first transmission she does at the start that doesn't look like anything to me. and i thought i was already being generous abt her rolls lol
