We're going to drown. We need time to acclimatise to this rain. This is relentless.

I hate these publishers so much. Why they want me to starve?

I'm watching "Olympic news" on my country's Olympic app and they're showing footage of them setting up the boards for FS and the practice rink. (Aaaand it's already buffering. I hope my internet magically becomes not crap in the next week.)

Thank you, O wise one.

Anyone remember a video from CoR of him signing a skate for someone in Notte costume?

Well, I myself never cry at sappy movies but Mr Hanyu is something else.

Hoping for this face at Olympics. source unknown

They might well cry themselves!

New Anan.

More info, please!

Wow. I genuinely feel sorry for them that they'd do something like that at that age. They must be really miserable, and if it's a societal issue, well, I think all the better to ignore them. I don't think you can fight something that deep without getting to the root of the problem. That being said, if it is people of that age, the younger generations, hopefully, are more open minded. I don't know what impact Yuzu has had in Korea but I think such "soft culture" can be very successful in changing minds.

Brian's chat with the media subbed not dubbed.

Don't confuse internet vitriol with real life. Most human beings are reasonable people, the loonies just thrive on anonymity. In the end, the opinions of others shouldn't really matter unless they are directly impacting his career and, given how much the Korean media seems to love him, I don't think there's much evidence that that's happening. I would bet these people writing are probably quite young, too. Perhaps I'm naive but I don't think sane adults spend their time obsessively spreading hateful nonsense. I doubt anyone would form an opinion on him based on petty social media rants when it's clear just by looking at him that he's miraculously talented.

After all the fuss over Nathan saying the same thing.

Not enough.

Me too. (Well, maybe not pride, exactly, but happy relief.)

I wonder how many pages will be Yuzu. I'm trying really hard not to buy any magazines but if it's a lot I don't think I'll have the strength to resist.

Tomorrow's streaming party is going to be so much fun now that all our worries are gone!

I saw it but I was trying to hold back tears of joy and there would have been a flood if I had given it a second thought. My happy heart is ballooning rapidly and will soon be outside of my body.

lol everyone rushed over here with NBC! Oh, I'm so happy.

It also says that Yuzu still hasn't jumped 4lz so I guess rather than it it not being in good condition, it's just been avoided. How I wish English language media would get in on these press conferences.

Should we start counting our unhatched chickens now? >_>

Same news as above, though quoted differently. The one above is more "probably will return to 100%" and this one is just flat out quotes Orser saying "will return to 100%," though it says it's Orser's expectation. So he perhaps said something like "I expect him to return to 100%."

He mentioned Requiem alongside Notte Stellata as a program he can skate easily and be himself! I wonder if he plans to skate it this season after all... Click for unbridled happiness: OT
