I’ve been trying to refollow a few blogs and mutuals with my new account but it’s seriously impossible. Every Tumblr page takes around 5 minutes to load (and it’s only Tumblr going so slow, yay!).

I can’t do miracles. I seriously can’t x_x At some point I will give up so I’m sorry, but if you don’t follow me in my new account, I might end up not following because it takes way too much time for me to refollow everyone and I’m honestly so busy right now.

My new blog is @ohmythatmiya and I will soon abandon this one, so yeah. If we are mutuals and you want to stay that way, it would help so much if you could follow me first!!

Another reminder that I’ve changed blog!

And right now I’m liveblogging the new Haikyuu chapter at @ohmythatmiya

I’m having so much trouble with loading most Tumblr pages x_x It’s ridiculous. I’m trying to refollow some blogs when I get some free time but the loading times make it almost impossible…

You would do me a great favor if you could follow me first in my new blog @ohmythatmiya

Things I’ve learnt as a skater that almost never make it to fanfiction

Because I’ve read enough fics to cringe when the figure skater throws their very expensive skates in their bag and run off somewhere because nobody ever treats their skates like that.

DRY OFF YOUR SKATES.

You dry off skates with a towel so that you protect the leather and so that the blades don’t rust

You put your blades in soakers (aka basically socks for your blades) so that the condensation gets absorbed somewhere and doesn’t rust the blade

AIR YOUR SKATES they smell when left in a closed bag

It takes like 10 minutes putting on skates and like 15 minutes getting them off because you need to wipe it down

YOUR SKATES NEED TO BE REALLY TIGHT SO THEY NEED 10 MINUTES TO PUT ON

Literally everyone falls

Everyone.

Falls.

From the board huggers to the pros doing jumps and spins everyone falls and that’s natural

Just fall

TRIPPING ON TOE PICKS

The number 1 cause of falling

You can be talking to someone and then end up face down on the ice the next moment because toe pick

Stabbing yourself with a toe pick is not fun but extremely common to do so

Stabbing yourself in the boot is literally the most heartbreaking thing it’s like stabbing an expensive bag with a fork

Boots need to be replaced often if you’re skating at a high level cuz the support breaks down faster than you’ll see physical wear and tear outside of the boot

Blades need to be sharpened every 30-ish hours of usage (around once every two weeks-ish if you skate everyday)

Blades can sometimes cost as much as a boot

There is a break-in time for boots because they’re sooooo stiff

Some people wear their new skates around the house to quicken the break-in time

Boots have different stiffness ratings and you can’t get any random boot you like because you need to make sure it has sufficient padding for your foot

You can’t randomly get custom boots made for someone without their foot measurements

Boots need to fit on your feet like a damn glove

An exact fit

You can’t use anyone else’s skates unless you’re both the same size

Rental skates are pieces of shit

No matter how pro you are you’ll never be able to skate normally on rentals

WEAR GLOVES

The ice gets super cut-up and falling without gloves on can scrape your hands

It’s extremely painful when that happens

Wear gloves pls

PEOPLE WEAR PADDING

Especially if they’re learning something new

Pads for your butt, pads for your knees, heck even padded gloves

Padding protects your joints especially if you have joint problem

Like smashing your knees against the ice frequently causes you problems

A one-way ticket to old lady knees

Say goodbye to unblemished legs

Your knees will forever be bruised

Things people put in their skate bag:

Waterbottle, towels, band-aids, exercise tapes, extra socks, extra gloves, extra layers/clothes, hair-ties, skate guards, soakers, gels for blisters

You’ll notice that Olympic pros use luggages and that’s cuz they literally lug their entire house with them

Costumes, exercise mats, exercise gear, clothes, tracksuits, makeup etc

Whatever looks easy on screen is actually really freaking difficult to do

Katsuki Yuuri should technically not have been able to land the Quad Flip on a whim without practice unless he actually trained for it in Detroit

You can’t learn stuff on your own

Like you need a coach or an experienced skater to teach you the correct techniques

You need someone to spot your mistakes cuz you won’t be able to tell on your own

People record themselves for this reason

Throwing yourself in the air and spinning is difficult like try jumping and turning more than 360 degrees on land and see if you can do it well

ZAMBONI

WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET THE ZAMBONI

Skating on fresh ice after a zamboni is a religious experience

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Medication Help Plz!!!

I will be getting back to answering questions/doing writing tips/blogging on here soon. It’s just been a rough month or two. Right now I need medication if you can help with a few dollars. I need $88 total so I’m trying to raise money in any way possible. The medicine is necessary - it’s for epilepsy and bipolar disorder.

$2 donations will get you a quick doodle, quick 1000 word edit, etc. I will also be taking on editing work if you get in touch to talk pricing.

What makes Al such a great character, and a great person, is that he is incredibly aware. That boy is sharp as a fucking knife. He knows bullshit when he sees it, and he’s been through a hell of a lot of fucked up stuff. He knows how the world works and just how messed up people can be, but he chooses to be kind and patient and polite and have faith in humanity’s potential for goodness- but he can just as easily choose not to, and he’s not going to just be a total doormat all the time, or always take the “law-abiding” path if he needs to break a few rules to do what needs to be done.

The moment that I think is the most telling of Al’s personality is, ironically (or more like painfully fittingly) the one that was cut from every single adaptation of FMA except for the live action:

He stops Ed’s assault on Tucker, sure, but that doesn’t mean that he forgives Tucker, or that he isn’t furious himself. He makes it extremely clear to Tucker that he is showing him mercy, and could just as easily change his mind. Al’s not being passive and timid and naive during the confrontation with Tucker- He’s deliberately holding himself back, and everyone forgets that because it wasn’t in the anime.

That’s who Al is as a person. He’s a perceptive and passionate person who could unleash hell if he wanted to, but consciously chooses not to. But according to the fandom he’s just a sweet naive cinnamon roll uwu who doesn’t know how terrible the world is and could never hurt anyone, which is total bullshit.

Kageyama, at Iwazumi and Oikawa’s apartment door: Is Oikawa-san here?

Iwaizumi, as Oikawa jumps out the window: Y'know, he just left.
