I don’t know if it’s necessary to say this, but I’ve slowly been becoming a Rika stan the past few months, mainly within the last few weeks, which was something I never expected to do. My opinions on her skating have changed a lot recently, so if you see me contradict—

myself based on my older opinions about her skating (mainly that I thought Aliona was a little more well-rounded and Rika wasn’t very musical) then please be aware it’s not me being fake or clout-searching, I’ve just changed my mind on a lot of opinions I had regarding her.

For a while I didn’t want to stan her because my interactions with her fans on twt haven’t been pleasant, but now I’m just kind of... tired? Of limiting myself and what I like because of pride and stubbornness.

Anyway, all of this is to say I’ll be posting about her often, and it might be annoying (maybe this whole thread is annoying LOL), but I will be doing it anyway! I originally didn’t want to post this thread but I felt dishonest for not saying anything. Thanks for reading
