Still not over the delayed rippon axel. Or the running edge. Or the move right after.

2021/22 ISU Assignements

Yuzu will be at NHK Nov 12-14 and Rostelecom Cup Nov 26-28 (taking place in Sochi of all places you can’t make that poetic shit istg)!

Let’s hope covid doesn’t fuck things up, and above all let’s hope our dear Yuzu remains healthy all the way to the olympics.

Also, it’s time to really prepare ourselves for 4A. It is very, very much time.

[statusgelasticus]

I try to not read too much into it or attach too much weight into the superstition. I just hope Yuzuru may remain safe, healthy, have a happy season, and attain what he has been striving for.

I’m prefacing this little ramble with a) this has nothing to do with tinhatting; b) Darren is straight, I’m just talking about the way he breaks stereotypes, etc… and the juxtaposition of the way he presents himself vs the way Chris does. 

Darren’s recent music reminds me of way back when people used to joke about how Darren is gayer than Chris.  But that’s a simplified version of a more complex thought – and how gender and sexuality and presentation don’t always coalign into what we think they do.  

I think Darren likes to play with gender, and play with what the ideals of masculinity are.  I mean, he’s painted his nails from forever, right?  Pretty sure he borrows Mia’s clothes on a regular basis.  Is not afraid to rock eyeliner.  The thing that’s interesting to me is that… what does this really have to do with sexuality? If someone wants start a conspiracy theory around Darren, I’d argue it around his genderfluidness more so than what his sexuality.  

He’s very firmly straight - as he’s said over and over.  But all that means is that sexually, he prefers women.  When it comes to gender, though, Darren likes to play around – and I think that aspect of his personality is fascinating.  Darren is sometimes (mis)labeled as gay because he doesn’t conform to traditional masculine standards the way a lot of gay men don’t.  But I think it’s great that, as a straight guy, he’s not afraid to just be himself – whether it’s in three piece suit, or three inch heels.  

Meanwhile… the actually very gay Chris identifies very much traditionally masculine.  He’s bulked at wearing women’s clothing.  He’s not effeminate or flamboyant. He tends to enjoy more masculine-type activities.  And sure, part of this is his upbringing - being raised in a more “traditional” American home.  But I think that’s just him, too.  Other than, maybe, enjoying musicals – the “gayest” thing about Chris that he’s sexually attracted to men.  

But all of this just leads me to the thought – in this day in age – what is “gay” anyway? Is it an identity? Or is it sexuality? Or is it some kind of blend? These questions are all rhetorical - and just me thinking about how society wants to place labels on people but people don’t conform to said labels very well.

Do people realize that Yuzuru Hanyu is not only one of the most successfull figure skaters out there, winning and accomplishing more than the rest of the figure skating community, but has also decided "fuck that subjective judging system" and while still being an active athlete, dedicated a goddamn thesis on how motion capture could make the judging system fairer? This man is on a mission to rock the figure skating world any way he can and by god, he's doing it

Ok so this will probably get to you very late, but your playing on tw is making me so very happy. Piano always heals me, so i thank you for sharing. also if you were taking requests still, i'd love to hear some of ravel's mother goose. But even you can't/won't tho, thank you so much for sharing beauty

Hi Anon, omg thank you so so much for your very kind words, it made my day!! I’m happy if my piano playing brings something positive to others. I’ve never played Ma Mère L’Oye before, but I will look it up for you!

[statusgelasticus]

can I ask a question? can skaters use different programs for olys? i mean, for example can yuzu use otoñal for sp and tenchi for fp at olys? and if he goes to beijing what programs do you think he will skate?

thank u💛

Hi Anon, I’m not sure what you mean with this question, but of course skaters can use past programs, and when they do of course they can mix up programs from different seasons or even for example use one new program and one past program. Yuzuru has confirmed he will use Ten to Chi to next season, but is undecided for the SP. Last season he wanted to find a piano piece, but couldn’t find one that clicked. I will support him whatever he decides to skate to. Secretly I wish he would bring back LGC for Oly season, as he initially meant to use it at Pyeongchang but changed his mind because he never skated it clean in competition in the 2016-17 season. But of course Yuzuru knows what’s best for him!

[statusgelasticus]

what do u think about beijing podiums? who is gonna be top of podiums in your opinion 🧡

Hi! I think it’s too early in the season to tell, the times being as uncertain as it is. For ladies realistically speaking it might be an all-Russian podium, although my wish is for Rika Kihira to make it onto the podium as well... For men... I think the serious contenders, aside from my personal like and dislikes, not necessarily in this order, are for sure Yuzuru, Nathan Chen, the other spot is a toss-up between Misha Kolyada, Jason Brown and maybe Yuma Kagiyama if he can build upon his momentum from last season.

Yuzuru Hanyu Post-FS Interviews 17/2/18

Videos from tweets, linked :)

NHK Post-FS

It’s Yuzuru Hanyu. Congratulations

Thank you very much

You made it

Somehow

What are your feelings? Please tell us.

Really, so many people supported me, and somehow, like this…well first of all I was able to skate and, first of all to be able to skate at this venue was a relief…And also, being able to… have a performance where I thought “I really gave it my all” is, first of all, something I think is good.

Right after your performance, you shouted out loudly. You could see that there were many different things condensed into that moment.

Yes well whatever it is I thought that my right leg had really worked hard. About the injury, of course because…of my injury (t/n: literally - my injury’s fault), I could not practice and things like that. Including all those things, I believe I caused a lot of people to worry. In that sense, many…I received strong cheers, more than anything I’ve had up till now and so I had that support, so I really feel that I’ve been blessed.

Right after you touched your right ankle just a little. Was that due to pain or..?

No, that was gratefulness, I just had feelings of gratefulness (to it).
