yuzuru hanyu・celebrating a long and illustrious competitive career

心の底からありがとうございました

Broken the world record 19 times. The first to break the 100, 200, and 300 point barriers. The only male single skater to have achieved a super slam. Back to back Olympic gold medals. First skater to have ever landed a quad loop in competition.

What an amazing journey, Yuzuru Hanyu.

I feel torn about Yuzu. I’m so happy for him and also sad, but more excited to see what’s to come for him. No one has ever mesmerized me with their skating as much as he has. So go Yuzu, fly high to wherever you’re going next. All of us will be here to support you through every step

yuzuru choosing haru yo, koi as his beijing olympics gala performance, a program that is about preserving through the bleakest of winters by clinging to the knowledge that spring will surely come again, bringing with it a time for rebirth and renewal, and all the while knowing full well that he was going to retire and this would be his last post-competition gala exhibition..……. bitch.

I’m such a slut for casual intimacy. Like yesss rest your chin on my shoulder while we're in line at the grocery store, I live for that shit.

drink tea you’ve never tried, reread your favorite book, get up to watch the sunrise, write a letter, listen to the birds, knit a bad sweater, bake an ugly cake, sing at the top of your lungs, jump crazily to some music. feel, really feel life without any restrictions, no matter the size.

idk why ppl act like men don’t gossip, talk shit, be fake, backstab, etc, they literally do all these things it’s just not blamed on their gender

[schneeloewe]

You have known that I love you for so long.

Why do you torture me?
