Sparkly Ruffle

Sparkly Ruffle (5/67)

  1. logging on for the first time in forever to express my love and appreciation for Shohei and how I am forever tormented that he's on the Angels. Their freefall after their great start has been torturous and with today's news that Rendon will be out for the season, I am convinced that the Angels sold their souls for that 2002 World Series. Spoiler'd for photos and gifs If you thought Yuzu constantly has cameras in his face, you can imagine how it is for Shohei. Bonus gif:
  2. LOL I was like, "why does this sound so familiar?" Soundhound tells me it was a Yowamushi Pedal OP and I just recently finished the series. So mystery solved.
  3. If you check the figure skating subreddit, you can find videos with Ben Agosto commentary. I don't know if that's better (probably) because I tend to tune out commentary when watching sports.
  4. Baseball is the very definition of a team sport. One player can only do so much when everyone else around them isn't very good. It isn't basketball where one player can dominate a game and literally carry a whole ass team on their back. The Angels had the best player in the universe in Mike Trout (9x All-Star, 3x AL MVP and 4 second place finishes) for a decade now and they've only been to the playoffs once. In which they were swept. Their pitching outside of Shohei was a disaster where he'd give you 6 innings of 2-run ball and the bullpen would come in and promptly shit the bed. Trout and Rendon were injured for most of the season which meant Shohei was literally the Angels' offense and opposing pitchers can either pitch to him without worrying that he'd do too much damage because no one was on base or they intentionally walk him because no one else in the line up can do damage. They signed Syndergaard this week, which, yeah, okay, it's a start. Thor has been a good pitcher. When healthy. He hasn't pitched in 2 years. Which honestly, that just makes him the perfect Angel because the Angels pitching staff (and really, the whole ass team) suffers injury after injury every damn season. It is painful to watch the Angels piss away Trout and Shohei's greatness. LOL I made the same comment when I saw his interview. More Shohei things because I love this man but I'll spoiler it lest this become a Shohei forum instead:
  5. Was it really just 3 days ago that we were all freaking out in anxiety and excitement about the possibility of the 4A at NHK?
  6. fuck. gonna go listen to Homura and have myself a good cry.
  7. It was always going to be a long shot this season because fucking covid but at this rate, I guess I’m just never gonna see him live. That’s fine. It’s fine. It’s totally fine.
  8. I just wanna say that Yuzuru's costumes makes for some really pretty kaleidoscope Apple watch faces. I stare at it moving all day and I can't decide which one to use for more than, like, a day.
  9. I’m the type of person that if you keep complaining and bitching about something, I’m going to continue to do that something just to spite you. Now, I’m not saying that’s what Yuzu is doing but the fact that people have been complaining about him recycling and repeating programs long before this (maybe) news and then for this (maybe) news that he’s using Chopin and Seimei again? Well, let’s just say it entertains and amuses me greatly. You're unnecessarily assigning a thought process to him that we have not been privy to.
  10. I feel like everyone is taking this news super seriously; analyzing his motivations and reasons, speculating layouts, bitching and lamenting on him repeating these two programs in particular. Meanwhile, I’m fucking over here legitimately cackling my ass off.
  11. I can only hope that figure skating as a whole will go through the same kind of reckoning that USA Gymnastics has and is still going through.
  12. Right. Just like how the world at large doesn’t have a rape culture issue! Or like how there isn’t a constant and consistent devaluing of girls and women in society. Also, I’ve always hated when these jack holes use the one bad apple phrase. Do they not know the full idiom? Because here’s a hint: It spoils the bunch.
