I don't think I'll ever be eloquent enough to express completely what his skating means to me. Just thinking about any of his performances makes my soul full, and brings a smile to my face. If I remember what he had to endure as a competitive skater, and that life is not a paradise for him even now when he truly deserves it, then some of that happiness/hope/admiration/awe/etc some of it morphs into something a bit mournful because he deserved and deserves the best. He is the only skater with a program that made me cry, and the only skater I was willing to stay up the entire night to just to see a few minutes of his art.
Hanyu Yuzuru, thank you for picking figure and artistic skating over everything. 19 was stellar for you, so I hope 29 will go in the same manner. Happy birthday GOAT.
I will spare a few minutes to rewatch a program of yours today. Most likely Haru yo, Koi, I think I need that one the most.

man i am sometimes baffled by the dog posts that reddit's algorithm pushes to my account.
what do you mean you're literally holding your border collie's head up with your hand as they walk to force them to learn a "head up heel" or whatever you're calling it. like just. fucking. teach the behavior with engagement games, it is literally one of the first things i was taught in a basic group obedience class you absolute buffoon.

Using James Gunn's Scrappy from the Live-Acton movies as justification for hating Scrappy is the equivalent of reading a salt fic and claiming the character did that stuff in canon, he's literally that far off in characterization

Everyday I feel like an idiot cuz I'd look up the yandere dimitri tag to see if there are new fics and become a sad puddle when there's nothing when I can just. Write. It. Myself? I can. I can write. Somewhat decently. The frick is stopping me.
And then I remember I have real world responsibilities and the cycle repeats for the next day hAHAHAHHAHA. Aight, going to sleep. It's time for that new samsara.

Obsessed with the fact that if the idiot MAGA board of supervisors in deep-red Cochise County, Arizona keep refusing to certify the county election results (which they are currently doing because of Something Something Election Fraud... in their own uber-Republican county, oop), Arizona law requires the statewide results to be certified by a hard deadline anyway, regardless of whether one county has done so. So in that case, the winner of Arizona's Sixth District US House race would flip... from a Republican to a Democrat.
It wouldn't be enough to flip the whole House back to Democrats, but my god, it would be funny.

I saw the comment on your last ask and wanted to ask what's your 5th gen theory? I know that for me actually looking at the years 5th gen should have started already but it feels like we're still in 4th gen because no one other than a few girl groups have blown up the way that 3rd groups both boy and girl had and anyone who has gotten popular has been in last year or two. Making a big three comparison exo in their 3rd or 4th year was in a very different place than stray kids or treasure now
fifth gen HAS already started! just not where or how you would think. and for clarity's sake: i don't categorize gens by group popularity, and that would be a moot point anyways because the success of previous gen groups is never going to be replicated on the same scale because of how dramatically the industry has changed.
my fifth gen theory is this: there's already starting to be a generation change in the last year, but it's being lead by smaller companies who are unable to sustain the current fourth gen performance model, and subsequently there's either going to be a delayed transition where the big four companies will be the last to debut fifth gen groups, OR there's going to be a full split where big four and other well funded companies can keep producing groups in the fourth gen method, while every other smaller group has an entirely different performance method.
the main characteristic of fourth gen has been very strong and heavy dance skills paired with difficult choreography, on a scale that's much more extreme than previous gens. although a lot of third gen choreography was probably harder on its idols' bodies thanks to the acrobatics, third gen idols were still trained as well rounded performers and were able to transition smoothly out of their stuntmen eras and still be able to maintain their group's artistic identity. in order for companies to ramp up the spectacle factor from this, instead of tricking + stunts they prioritized technically difficult dance, which has translated into the bulk of fourth gen idols being by large, probably the most technically skilled generation of dancers. however, like i've said in previous asks, that has come as a detriment to pretty much every other skill that used to be trained into idols. making the sacrifice of dance vs singing is fine for companies that have the funds to support having big spectacular cbs and have large stable fanbases that consume uncaringly, but it's more of a problem with smaller companies who are getting priced out of being able to afford cbs to even hope to match the scale that fans are coming to expect. so as a result, they're going back to training their idols as more holistic performers and simplifying choreography. i know a lot of people are not paying attention to the rookie bgs but a lot of the ones from the last year and change have been a totally different calibre of performer than the established fourth gen groups, and it's likely to continue that way. my hypothesis is that the last company to catch on fifth gen is going to be the next jype bg, and how they perform is going to be the indication of if there's going to be a staggered transition or a full split.

listen, i don't care if gary can't cook. he was raised by two women, his mom and his nan. that boy would be hygenic (you know that his mom and his nan taught him how to clean a house and more importantly himself), he would be respectful, he would be emotionally available and more importantly accepting of your emotions, and to top it all off, he wouldn't blink an eye at anything his girl wanted while on her period. plus, he'd be equally down to watch sports as he would whatever trashy young adult drama is all the rage (gary watching the vampire diaries?? please it'd be so cute) because he is ALL masculinity, NO toxic
