Spent way too much time on something I didn't need to do but I like my new big dumb ship lol
It took way more blocks than I thought it would and I needed to adjust my plans because of both that and not having enough garage space, but I think he turned out pretty cool.
I was listening to Runthrough's Ice Dance Lore again and started thinking about the Virtue/Moir vs Davis/White rivalry, and that got me thinking about the broader US vs Canada rivalry in ice dance. I looked it up, and the US has been on every single World and Olympic ice dance podium since the dawn of IJS with two exceptions (2008 and 2014 Worlds). Canada has missed the podium just 5 times in that stretch (2005, 2016, 2019, 2022 Worlds and 2022 Olympics).
