anyone else laughing that their day has been fully taken over by ilia? he's live on twitch today at 1pm EDT.
any excessive comments about ilia's instagram stories yesterday, as well as overly negative comments about ilia or other skaters will be removed. please be respectful of ilia and all skaters, us mods will be watching. enjoy the stream, everyone!!
we've been fed well so far this week, but we have one more event (unless ilia decides to stream on sunday), the time100 sports gala red carpet! it starts at 6:45PM EDT and can be found here, on time's own youtube channel. we have confirmation (i believe) of the stylist who styled ilia last night returning for his carpet look today, so we'll see if he goes crazy or understated.
as always, be respectful of ALL ATHLETES. not just ilia and alysa. here's to being fed once more this week!
yesterday i lost my girl of 14 years, mystery, to congestive heart failure. she was 18 when she passed, so she lived a long, full life. but today was the first full day without her and it was so hard. i just want advice on what to do, where i go from here, and to know if it's okay that i haven't put away any of her things yet. she was my whole world, she was my comfort during my darkest days, and my emotional support.
the loss of the routines we shared has been the hardest and the coping has been near nonexistent. i know she went peacefully and was loved as she went because i was there for her, but it still feels so hard and i try to blame myself for not seeing the signs. how have you all handled it, if you've experienced something similar?
a few months back, i posted a line art version of this art piece i'm working on of my favourite photo of ilia at the olympics. after taking months off due to burnout, i finally managed to get back into cleaning up the block colouring of it. watermarked for my sake, since i've had people steal my art before. reference picture is also included!
has anyone else had issues after ordering the ilia cover variant of dazed? both u/sofastsomaybe and i have had issues, with sofast having ordered theirs before me, neither of us having gotten anything but an order confirmation and being told it's been "prepared for shipping." i know not everyone is having this issue, but i was wondering if some of you all here have?
a few months back i found a box of the topps chrome 2026 olympic hopefuls cards (which i had been searching for since they released in january) and managed to pull a rare card of ilia, so i wanted to share it with you all. only ten of this specific card were made, as the gold numbers show in the bottom right. it's my pride and joy, i have it framed. even if i wanted to, i would never sell it.
i will not be able to moderate this thread the entire stream, but i'll be here as often as i can. as of now, ilia has face cam set up for the first time and plans on playing fortnite.
you can watch the stream here, but cannot add to chat without a twitch account.
as always, BE RESPECTFUL!
i snagged every single photo from the online article (i will have to upload one more in the comments because reddit only allows a max of twenty photos) for my own archives and figured everyone here should be blessed with this GORGEOUS photoshoot!
from malinin.on.ice on instagram. i screamed when i saw the hat but also when i saw the smile.
