IM DYIng guys guys I am sure the assignments will go out in exactly 35 minutes which is exactly the time I will take to come back from work and wash my sweaty face and take my mother's visa with my money in it

Aaaaaaahhhh it's not yet out! Please wait another two hours ISU! I beg of you!!

I can't bring my phone while in shift :c I'll just be able to take a 5 min break from serving delicious ice creams.

what about sparkly trashbag boxers? *not letting this go* btw, I'm going to work. See you guys in 5 hours. If the announcements come before me, I hate you all.

I was kinda hoping for him to be among the boxers squad... what about boxers and white t-shirt? good for me! Always nice to know you are not the only perverted one.

Socks and boxers. That's all I am allowing

His Twitter page looks like a Fanyus. Did you expect any different? xD

I'm in.

Keegan... I didn't know you wanted Yuzuru Hanyu to come back in september with a 4A in his layout... good to know you care about motivating him so much though!

I like the term HANYU slam. Don't think it will be used much except for him though c: (mmmh maybe virtue/moir!)

At least I will be at home, on my bed, ready to rest for eternity and mourn my Grenoble trip that was not meant to be.

if it's 5 am in Japan it's 10 pm here in Italy and it would be PERFECT pls I am dying

Uuuh.. you need a special Visa for Russia? I am EU with international passport, but I've never been to Russia except for transit flights, so... (so off-topic) No, jokes aside, if he goes to Russia again... I may not be able to follow him. But the kuyashii will fuel my determination to see him at Saitama.

LOL What about CoR tickets. Are they pricey. What about plane tickets for Russia. Oh god I don't have time to do research today I have to go to work damn damn damn I'll take the coat just in case tho

If Yuzu ends up at CoR I am chasing both you and him to Russia. Nevermind I cannot stand the cold and I don't have a decent winter jacket.

I am already preparing psychologically to come back from work in the evening and buying the last few balcony seats for Idf with a mix of sadness and satisfaction.

Toronto time, right? Afternoon? Late?

Love this

I am NOT crying, YOU are crying *angry crying* By the way, who else is watching all of 2011-2012 competition videos with B.Esp when they should be studying for exams? I mean, not me! Definitely not me.

Of course. There is nothing to speculate, I believe! I guess it was just a 'words' discussion. Some people didn't like the choice of 'alpha male' term. I was simply defending the term, which I think is pretty neutral!

I think your message is contradicting itself, or we are saying the same thing. For me, masculine and feminine are correlated, connected, balance themselves within a performance or within one's existance. A bit like yin and yang, you could say. Yuzuru is a perfectly balanced male in that sense. He uses his feminine side, but he does not transform into a literal fairy lol. He is still a guy and everything he does when he performs has got to do with his identity, his gender identity, which is male. Again, as far as I'm concerned. I understand if there are people who want to 'trascend' the concept of sexual identity, and don't think that it matters so much. It's kind of a philosophical/phsychological discussion so it's hard to come to terms because everyone uses words differently and puts different meanings in words.

THAT! Holy shit. Yuzuru's a guy. There's nothing wrong with praising his masculinity - especially because we don't mean it in the 'social standard' way, but in the truly, original meaning of the word. We don't think he's masculine only when he's doing the playboy on ice. He is masculine exactly when he does programs like Haru yo, koi, because he uses his feminine side with such confidence, such insight, that it lives you charmed (at least, it leaves me charmed). I'd rather his masculinity a thousand times more than Fernandez's, Yagudin or Plushenko's, or whoever else. And yes, I also do believe that he protrays femininity on ice better than Johnny or Rippon, for example. I also don't see any problem calling him an 'alpha male'. He is a male. He is a competitive beast. So, on the ice, he is an alpha male as far as I'm concerned. Outside of here, maybe alpha male corresponds to different male standards, fake, damaging gender standards to which Yuzuru definitely doesn't apply. So I don't think that the users here who are talking about Yuzuru's masculinity need any preaching regarding social gender norms and such. We know. That's part of the reason why we love Yuzuru. We know.

Laughing my ass off at how quickly the Gen chat jumped from freedom of constructive criticism among fans to BUTT SPIN.

Yuzu has read horrible things about himself on the internet - but surely he read none of them here. There are hundreds of thousands of comments of love and support for him here, and if he ever got to read them, I have no doubt it made him very happy. Only knowing that there is a whole site on the internet dedicated to him, where mature people from all over the world talk about not only him, but skating in general, should make him very proud that he's been able to motivate people the way he did.

Perfection? What is there to see?
