Hi besties, I hope everybody is doing great. I've been a bit out of the loop on the FS drama since the Formula 1 championship took over my whole life (ikr the duality of man, I love pretty ice skating performances and fast cars going vroom vroom and both worlds have so much drama!), so anyway, I read what Nathan Chen said about figure skating being a "LGBTQ dominated sport", and LMAO boy he set himself up for the backfire with that one, and then kind of apologised for saying that. BUT I try to be as fair as possible and not hate on him for things he can't avoid, like being madly overscored in situations he clearly didn't deserve * coughs any of his PCS tbh coughs * so I would like to hear the take from you girlies since I'm too lazy and tbh don't care enough about him to do a proper research. Do you guys think he was genuinely misinterpreted or he's just trying to save some face now? I'm sorry if this topic has already been covered a lot here, I'm not trying to shit stirr, I'm just curious of what other FS fans think of that and the planet is the only "safe space" for me to post without being accused of being a blind fanyu just for not really vibing with Nathan. Anyway, sorry if this is a touchy topic or if I'm breaking any rules for bringing this up so late in the game, I'm just really lost lol.

Why am I so emotional over jumps???? It's literally a jump in the air and I'm on the verge of tears because of it lmao. Thank you for the beautiful compilation.

I still haven't see HD pictures of the SOI shows, do you guys have links? I really need new phone wallpapers of Yuzu in the LMEY/LGC costumes paired with this new hair style and the newfound "I'm too hot for you and I know it" attitude he's radiating.

Ah, and that concludes the season. Thanks everybody for the links, for the twitter updates posted here so I don't have to go into that godforsaken place and thanks for the translations. And of course, thank you so much Yuzuru Hanyu for everything. (I'm about to go on a personal tangent and I'm very emotional, crying and feeling silly about it, so please feel free to skip an just know that I'm thankful for watching and commenting this season with you guys). Figure Skating it's non-existent in my country and I used to watch a video here and there since Sochi, follow a few skaters on Instagram and that was it. But last year in the beginning of the pandemic I somehow ended up in the Olympic channel watching Yuzuru's Chopin SP, and that was it for me. Like everyone else, at the time I was feeling lost and anxious and afraid (really fun feelings to have when you already have mental health struggles, right?) and top of that, there is the small matter that I'm a medical doctor. I had moved back to my city because of COVID and was starting a new job so I extremely stressed and terrified for my patients and my family. But since I stumbled upon Yuzuru, everyday I would look forward to come home, sit in my room isolated from my family (at the time my apartment still wasn't ready so I was staying with them trying to be as careful as I could) and watch his programs, starting from the very beginning of his senior career to the 2020 4CC, ice shows, and everything else I could get my hands on. I never thought I could get emotional and be so moved by a sport, but it only took me watching his artistry, passion and captivating personality to make me tear up a bit and smile quite a lot. I can truly say that Yuzuru Hanyu has been a beacon of hope for me in these horrible times and I look forward to see his light keep shining when things get better (meanwhile, after SOI I guess we're back to watching him in old competitions just to feel alive besties lmao).
