Hug now, escape later

This was a test case for workskins / textfic, as a joke spin-off from a "taking minor characters and weak worldbuilding too seriously" fic in which Normal Joe, The Figure Skater, is outsider-pov on Shane Hollander (who, as far as Normal Joe knows, is very straight, and a weird hockey bro).

I mastered the texting blocks, but I also discovered (or re-discovered) the hazards of geoblocked figure skating footage. Some tweaks to a) exactly what Rose is watching and b) how I incoporate it into the fic will need to happen. This is an important test case, prepatory to Normal Joe introducing his straight hockey bro to important 20-17-2019 Figure Skating Moments.

While I'm here, actually: I used the Worlds footage but it's geoblocked in the US. The GPF footage is geoblocked in Australia.

Here's the World Team Trophy version. Please indicate if you can see it, and if you cannot, where you are located:
