science is probably my favorite song of niall’s ever like this is just who niall is to his very core. just the piano and the strings along with his amazing vocals, it’s just so authentic and evident of his talent and lyricism. also just “Can you feel what's beneath? /Is it stone cold under your feet? /Are you numb? Can you touch? /Is the silence a little too much?” sums up his life so well just the combination of him craving stability but also the shock that came from it coming so suddenly.
BUT “It's just science /Don't let it break you down /You can dance on your own /It's okay 'cause you're not alone /You can hide, you will love /You'll have your days in the sun” HE JUST CAPTURES THE MOTIONS OF LIFE SO WELL AND CAN TAME DOWN THE ANXIETY WITH JUST A FEW LYRICS THE WHOLE SONG IS JUST 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I was on break at work and randomly thought to check the ISS tracker, something I hadn’t ever done before. As it would happen she was passing over in six minutes directly in front of where I sit. Five minutes pass and I see her trace slowly across the sky, a straight line perfect and sure. She disappeared behind a building but I saw her, steady, and reminding that there is more to life than my current troubles. That humanity can do good things and work together for nothing but our curiosity.
Tonight was the best opportunity to see her for as far out as the tracker populates. She was visible at a straight 10 degrees the whole way for four entire minutes, and I caught it by six. Sometimes life truly is beautiful.

No because I also started almost sobbing at Death and her aura when watching sandman. Like if she were to greet me and tell me it's my time to go, I would feel so safe. I'm crying just thinking about it now.
Because if you think about, the only things that ties all of us humans together and we will ALL experience at some point is being born and dying. And almost everyone is afraid of death because we don't know what's waiting for us. So imagine being terrified and then meeting ✨her✨. I would feel so safe and alright to cross.
just the idea of being met with that utter comfort and the action of passing over being portrayed as this very calm, natural thing (even if the death itself wasn't) brings me so much joy, as someone who has lost a loved one and as someone who will (obviously) also die eventually
like i think about the scene of the old man and his violin on a weekly basis, i swear. storytelling at its finest! neil gaiman deserves every accolade he has ever gotten and then some!

JJK OLYMPICS OHHH YOURE A GENIUS
head spinning w sooooooo many athlete aus rn…..
satoru honestly isn’t half as cocky as the media makes him out to be but he could be because you bring up world champion men’s freestyle swim times and it’s his name on the scoreboard ten times before someone else shows up. he’s faster than himself by fifteen seconds all around, he’s earned a bit of cockiness. mentioned in the last post that whenever he’s at a competition and he finishes a race, he looks at the camera and signs a little infinity sign and then blows a kiss to you. some bitter old coach always calls him out on it, and gets him fined for unsportsmanlike conduct, and he’s happy to pay the fees if it means getting a message home to you, but eventually you two come up with a new code; and at his next race, he places gold, turns to the camera, crosses his middle finger over his pointer finger and smiles. when he’s in his post-race interview, he makes sure to explain that he does it for you with the widest smile on his face.
megumi nepotism baby but not in the same sport. toji was a multi gold medalist back in his heyday for shooting, so it’s not really a surprise to anybody that megumi has scary good aim, but he takes to archery instead of shooting. actually the idea of megumi being an emo little kid and throwing rocks at a tree when his dad pissed him off his hilarious, and even funnier is toji watching him, slightly amused and a little scared because megumi is maybe six and hitting the exact same spot every single time. he grows to be very blase about it—it’s more of a release/hobby for him that he happens to be really good at, and well, now good enough to earn a few olympic medals. megumi is not a fan of having his dad ruffle his hair on international television after he’s won, but he supposes it can’t be helped.
i don’t know where to put yuuta…. tennis…. tempting….. him in his little white shorts…. little grunts after he serves…. cries….. a complete 180 in his personality when he’s playing vs doing anything else. so charming and sweet and kinda shy when he’s being interviewed, and the second he steps on the court his eyes are so cold it’s scary…. need him… extremely nerdy about his rackets, and shoes, and clothes, and rambles to you about aerodynamics and posture and torque whenever you ask him to teach you, and you always have to shutup him up with a kiss and remind him that yeah you sort of want to learn to play tennis for him, but mostly you came bc he looks hot doing it. once he got asked in an interview if he ever thinks about you while he’s playing and his response was very concise, “no, never. it would be a big distraction,” and did not realize the implications of his heavily televised words.
also…. not to make this post 40% yuuta but we could pull from canon a bit and make his sport fencing. he doesn’t excel because he’s the strongest, it’s because he’s learned to treat the sword as an extension of himself and a good strategist… also because i like the image of him pulling the helmet/mask off and shaking his hair out………..
don’t even know where to put yuuji…. volleyball? basketball? track and field??? the irony of him easily being the most athletic but canonically does not want to play sports 😭 but i can see him playing a sport because someone scouts him and it turns out to be a way to make steady money to support himself and his grandpa :( by the time he’s qualified and made it to the olympics, wasuke is doing much better (thanks to yuuji having landed some preemptive sponsorships and being able to afford better medical care), but not so well enough that he can travel across the world to watch yuuji play. wasuke tells you that you should travel and be with yuuji, but yuuji is so touched by the idea that you would stay with his grandpa and be by his side when he’s away :(( he wins gold, of course, and he doesn’t even wait until the closing ceremony—which, he’d mentioned in all of his interviews, so nobody can be too upset. he’s on record saying, “i’m excited to play, but i’m even happier to be going home. my girlfriend and my grandpa are watching me and i miss them!” several times— he’s on the first flight home with flowers, and tears in his eyes. puts his gold medal on his grandpa’s neck as a thank you, and spends probably thirty minutes straight hugging you and kissing you and honestly don’t put it past him to propose now that he’s got nike ambassador money
nanami started judo as a way to relieve the stress of his overbearing job, and someone at the gym/training center notices he seems to be a natural despite being a beginner. he starts to draw a crowd, which annoys him at first because the point of judo was discipline and release from having to deal with too many people at his office job, but nanami supposes he can’t be too mad when you introduce yourself as a talent scout and offer him professional training. there’s irony in him accepting your offer, because it was definitely not based in professionalism at all… quitting his job as a salaryman to become a professional athlete in his mid-twenties was not on his bingo chart, but if it means he will have met you, then so be it. you’re with him all the way, through his training, competitions, world championships, qualifiers, all the way until he’s on the podium. you’re the first to congratulate him, but he interjects by telling you he’s quitting. you ask him why—he just won at the olympics for crying out loud, but nanami just shakes his head, puts down his flowers and his medal so his hands are free to hold your face and tell you, “it would be unethical to kiss my manager, so i am quitting.” (later, when everything is said and done, and you two are cuddling, you mention to him that he could just hire a new manager, and not quit his new career, to which he blushes because yeah… that’s probably more rational, but rational was not in his train of thought at the time)
