Hydroblade

Incoming text wall. I've said it a lot of times in the other place, but one of my first memories EVER is Oksana Baiul skating to The Swan. I was two at the time, yet i remember it vividly: since then i LOVED figure skating and watched it every time i could catch it on tv (back when we still had the competitions broadcasted here...), i played figure skating games on the internet (one of those is what helped me to learn to recognize the jumps and spins...), as soon as the figure skater Barbie (yes, the one with Tara Lipinski on the ad) came out i begged my mom to buy it for me... Another really early memory is from a time where i visited an aunt in USA, we went to a place that had an ice rink and i remember looking from above, with my hands pressed against a window, watching the skaters gliding and almost an urge in my heart to go and skate with them, but as a kid i was asthmatic and very sickly, so my mom refused to let me skate. These things made it very painful for me to watch skating on tv, so i eventually stopped. But since 2012 i started to think about following the season, and many MANY times i searched for competition times and changed the channel to watch them. On one of those, i remember looking at the list of competitors and, because i've loved Japan since i was nine, my eyes immediately drifted to the japanese skaters. I don't remember if at that time he was there, because i chickened out, turned off the tv and went back to my room: i didn't feel ready to watch it. It was February 2014. I was going to a very rough time in my life. So, i was looking through tumblr and one of the people i followed started to post figure skating gifs. I said "oh, right, olympics..." And saw that she posted a link to the live stream. And i saw him there, skating to Parisienne Walkways. The stream wasn't good quality, so i didn't see his face, but i could see his lines, the beautiful way he moved across the ice... I felt like that love for the sport that was locked up for so long started burning again (even weirder because until then i only followed ladies). I refused to look him up, because i didn't feel emotionally ready (something told me that googling that kid would end up baaaaaadly). I didn't watch the FS, february 14 i found out he had won. I reblogged the pic of him holding the japanese flag, and one of the things i remember is that i thought that his name was also very beautiful and "fitting". I questioned myself why i felt so drawn to him, was it because he was japanese? because i liked skating? because i liked him? (i had seen his baby face at this point and i thought he was really cute). Something inside me made me feel that he would take over my life haha, so i went into a self imposed Hanyu ban. December 2015 came, and i was getting ready for my yearly ritual of watching the Kouhaku Uta Gassen. Many bands i LOVE were going to participate in that edition, so i was REALLY looking forward to it. Watched it start, laughed at the dancing squids. And then they presented the judges. My heart exploded when i saw him wearing that blue hakama, with that beautiful beautiful smile, and i heard his name: I sit up in my bed and i just whispered "what is he doing there? That... that is the figure skater, right, Yuzuru Hanyu??!" Pictured here: the very moment when he finished stealing my heart So much for my self imposed Hanyu ban. I looked at the list of performances and saw that he was going to feature in "Hana ha Saku" I was "why is a figure skater singing lol, stick to your own thing". Yet, i watched. And i watched those bits of Seimei, heard the thing about the earthquake and i was so so impressed... I felt this odd warm feeling inside me and i almost broke the Hanyu ban further. I knew i shouldn't, so i stayed strong and kept ignoring him. August 2016 came, and i was tweeting about japanese guys (lmao don't judge me) And from the veeeeery back of my brain i posted "i like these kind of guys but i make an special exception for Yuzuru Hanyu in hakama" I tweeted that and then i laughed at myself, because i never looked up pics of him yet the image of him dressed like that made such an impact in me that i still remembered it. Then i made the huge mistake of googling "Yuzuru Hanyu hakama" It was like an exploding dam. I watched all his videos (i had to stop midway the Boston FP), started amassing the collection i've shared with you guys and i checked with fear when the skating season would start. I lasted a month before joining the other place, i watched the kumamoto charity thing because i was thirsty to see him skate again and counted every single day down to the Autumn Classic. And now i laugh, because i kept trying to run away from him. When i saw him skating to the Swan it felt like full circle, i can't help thinking for a bit that i have been led to finding him from some time ago. And look where i am now... Sorry for the huge post

I wonder what he would say about the Church... I pray with all my might he doesn't find out about it (well he still gotta figure out what it actually means first, but.. you know, safety precautions never hurt) Well, it's request only so...
