Hydroblade

Maybe we should have a thread for it I just checked on an incognito window and you guys are almost on the 80's now!!! Which makes me remember that i imagined Yuzu skating to Careless Whisper because it came out on spotify and those spread eagles in my mind were gorgeous

My favorite is the second cast but yeah, i like all of them lmao ("Ikkiuchi" from The Imperial Match Hyoutei in Winter is a masterpiece and i love it so so so so so so much)

LMAO. THIS IS AWESOME. Also, we don't get shitstorms but paprika storms :P? Yay for our ever growing planet lore, To those who say that they would like to skate with him, yeah, that too. I've only skated once (if you can call that "skating" lol) and i loved it so much, that i know i would let him go all spartan training on me, which would probably end up in injury but i would be so eager to learn, and learn from him, that i would be begging him for more. Then i would collapse in the middle of the rink and i would be taken to heaven by him hydroblading around me

I have to confess I'm a huge tenimyu fan....

Regarding the "bad fan/good fan" thing, yeah, i think it isn't important at all. However there was a time i felt really conflicted because i didn't think i was doing a good job as an admin, being so open about my feelings while rarely commenting on the skating aspect. We are a forum dedicated to a skater and i often floof the place too much. However, my gushing for his skating would be a thousand times worse than the way i gush over your avatar if permitted Oh boy this is such a hard question for me and i've thought about it a lot. But i think that what i would love to discuss with him would be "passion". Few people are able to find their passion in life, and i consider myself lucky to have found mine (i was a practice demon once too, my teacher had to tell me to stop practicing so much before i injured myself.). There is something so enthralling about watching someone speak about their true passion in life, and in his case it covers so much than just the act of skating, that i feel it would be a very interesting conversation. I mentioned that i found mine because i would be able to relate to him, and it would be a dialogue rather than me just listening to him without offering anything to the conversation, which, i'd like to think, would make him feel more comfortable and he wouldn't feel like he's being "weird" or "too extra".

^See? I am not a crazy Fanyu hahaha I don't remember my state before the final picture tho Saave you so he can personally squish you lmao #GrandeAmoreShouldHaveWon

It is a team effort i guess, but my main concern is how people feel in the site. I'm glad that most of you feel exactly the way i wanted everyone to feel, and if i contributed a bit to that then mission accomplished for me I know that sometimes i get carried away with my gushing and that there must be people who don't like me at all or get tired of my posts textwalls (i used to post every day which is how i got this post count. And i have some posts that aren't counted too so my real post number is higher. But i've been taking breaks although it might not seem like i do. Some people wondered if i ever slept too lol) so i apologize for those behaviors I have tried to tone down the fangirling and i actually had... a big post planned after ACI but eventually i decided against it because it was too emotional and i felt that it could have made some people uncomfortable. I pay a lot of attention to details and i really wanted to share my experience with those who couldn't see him this season, or that might find it difficult to get a chance to see him in the near future. (i shared some of it with some people, the most recent victim was @SparkleSalad and i think i squished her to oblivion). I too get a bit upset when people assume that i like him only because he's cute, but i find easier to say "yeah that too" rather than end up looking like this: trying to explain why i am so drawn to him haha. i swear i am a sane fan tho. But sometimes it is frustrating and i end up breaking down hahaha. I think @Xen can vouch for my sanity, because i didn't break down after watching him break that WR and there are witnesses that there were no dying whale noises the first time i saw my namesake live I don't want to draw this discussion too much because would be against the rules if we start discussing this, and it is pretty irrelevant but i have been asked this too a lot of times and people are very surprised when i tell them that it wouldn't change anything in the way i see him or follow him. I don't really care about that, lol.

In my case something that i always hated about other forums was the way the admin+mod team was seen. Having them reply to you spawned posts like "OMG XXXX REPLIED TO ME!". Or they only showed up when someone or something was fucked up and they needed to remind people that the community was being watched. I didn't like that kind of hierarchy (and that happened among the users too) so now i abuse my admin powers to make people see that we are here to help, and that . As for liking him only for his looks, i've found some people who do, and i don't think there's anything wrong with that either. But in my case if you ask me exactly why i follow him, or want to make me explain why i appreciate him so much you will get this from me: There are many reasons and to be perfectly honest, the fact that i do like him physically too isn't in the top ten for me.

Hahaha you know, at one point i did care about not being seen as a mindless Fanyu who only follows the sport when he's present because he is so so pretty. But it's very tiring to hold back a lot of stuff and constantly prove that you do like FS not just because Yuzuru is handsome. Or that i don't like him only for his looks. Being an admin made me feel "forced" to prove that i am a skating fan and then a Yuzu fan, but my relationship with the sport is very complicated. I have accepted long ago that the way i enjoy his skating is different to other people, and that there is nothing wrong with that, nor is disrespectful to him as an athlete, because believe it or not i do pay attention to the technical stuff, i get angry about the judging, i am not a complete ignorant about the rules and i can at least identify the jumps. But i bet no one will ever believe me that i'm not in this only for the fluff don't blame you and i stopped caring. It sounds weird but my motivation is literally to help provide a space for all the fans, because i remember how weird it was to find out that there wasn't a safe place dedicated to him on the internet, and this might be hard to believe too but in every online community i've been in, i'm always a lurker. I wanted to help make this place somewhere where people feel safe enough to eventually come out of lurkdom

I have an image to mantain as an admin tho ETA: Who am i kidding lol, my image is ruined anyway

lmao don't worry guys we know exactly what's happening Should i silence my keyboard's filter then ? I bet i can make you guys arrive to page 1994 before his birthday muajajaja [laughs in spanish]

A user was hiding their posts and that brought the page count down for you guys

I'm sure they can find a way to cover the expenses as long as Yuzu is there lol

This is the only thing we have tho :< (and it's still beautifullllll I want to marry iiiiitttttt)

I see. I get the error too D; but i get additional info. Hopefully this will help us to solve the real problem, as we've been having this issue intermittently. Thank you!

?? I want to marry this

We can see the hidden posts, which is why the page count wasnt affected for us

Page 2001 your page count will always be less than what the admin+mod team can see.

My keyboard filters a lot of my posts, sadly i can't post everything that goes through my head hahaha (If only i could. I've held back so many things, i think i would be catching up with ralu if i could)

Hey, that is the Overlord's "lust for headphones" face! It's a rare sight, it's worth like... one silver and gold Pooh-coin (that's the currency of our planet, shut up) I drank coffee. I rarely drink coffee. I apologize for weird posts

(source? none, i made this gif myself lmao)

it feels weird having a different page coutn than you guys

bleeop bloop i come from the future, congrats @SparkleSalad you are the first post of the page 2000 v.1

Nothing bad is happening, a user is hiding their posts which is why you see a different page count than us.
