#(bc the actual figure skating fandom seems pretty scary)

[trixiedragon]

i wanted to throw out some thoughts about the upcoming Grand Prix Series for figure skating, because, well... it's beginning, and it's an exciting year.  i'm a little late, since the first day of the Rostelecom Cup is already over, but... i started writing this before, and kinda... messed up my time zone calcs so... sighs.

anyway, before i dive in, i just wanted to say... i've never been a huge Gracie Gold fan, but i feel so strongly for her now, and i admire her courage in choosing to forgo the GPS to continue her mental health treatment, and how wonderful and brave it is of her to talk so publicly and frankly about it.  i wish her the best.

there are soooooo many skaters right now who are under phenomenal pressure... there are skaters whose countries are depending on them to bring them glory, skaters who have everything riding on this season... skaters who are at the right age now to make their first Olympics, skaters who are facing their last Olympics... even the ones at the top who you might think are in a good position.  Yuzuru Hanyu will be trying to be the first man since Dick Button to win consecutive Olympic golds (back in 1952!).  Evgenia Medvedeva had the burden of bearing a pretty much perfect senior record, and the expectation of all of Russia going into every move she makes.  and for the rest of the Russian ladies, well... there's about five or six to fill the other two spots.  Nathan Chen and Shouma Uno are under the pressure to overcome a favorite to achieve their own dreams.  i mean... it's this weird thing when the most important 'match' of your sport only happens once every four years...

anyway, it's the kind of season where anything can happen, so it's pretty exciting to be watching from the start.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so onto the thoughts...

Rostelecom Cup, October 20–22 notable skaters Men :  Yuzuru Hanyu, Nathan Chen, yes, they start the GPS with a showdown... *coughs*, Mikhail Kolyada.  also, Denis Ten, Deniss Vasiljevs, Misha Ge, and Dmitri Aliev. Ladies : Evgenia Medvedeva, Elena Radionova, Mirai Nagesu, Wakaba Higuchi, Carolina Kostner.  also, Elizabet Tursynbayeva. Pairs : Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov Ice Dance :  Maia and Alex Shibutani, Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev

my thoughts what an exciting way to kick off!!  Evgenia, Yuzuru, Nathan, and the Shib sibs!!!  at the moment, i'd say that Nathan Chen is still in warm-up mode, but we'll see how competing against Yuzuru right at the start affects him.  in any case, with that lineup, the men's program is sure to be fun to watch.  Evgenia will blow us all away, it's pretty much guaranteed.  i've noticed in my... extremely cursory look into skating fandom that people tend to be rabidly in love with her (like... every announcer and commentator ever...) or rabidly anti-Evgenia, but i've noticed that the antis also tend to be... rabid Yuna Kim fans, presumably disgruntled because she broke all of Queen Yuna's records (but... that's honestly so stupid, because... records are made to be broken, and Evgenia's skating is what it is because Queen Yuna set the standard as high as she did, plus... those two literally never competed against each other???  so?????  there's literally no reason... ever... for their fans to compete?????) or they tend to be, well.... canadian fans.  canadian skaters, in my opinion, have a leg up in being darlings of the judges (unless they're like Gabrielle Daleman, and are considered 'too acrobatic' *eye roll*...) and canadian skating fans tend to, well, expect that advantage.  regardless, Evgenia has already skated two separate free programs in the pre-GPS competitions.  one to music from the Leftovers, and one from music to Anna Karenina.  both programs are interesting, but the poor girl - who must be under such HUGE pressure to maintain her dominance and win gold at the Olympics - seems to get criticism no matter what she does.  she's either too childish and immature and her expressions aren't believable, or she's trying to do something too mature and not believable.  i just hope that whichever program she goes with, it's the one SHE connects to the strongest.  the rest of the ladies field is... CRAZY competitive.  Carolina Kostner is making her big return,  and she is an elegant and beautiful skater, but she will be outjumped by her younger competitors.  Wakabe Higuchi is poised to have a stellar season, but so is Mirai Nagesu. in fact, this could (finally) be Mirai's season, especially if she's able to land a triple axel (she's been attempting them).  and, tho Evgenia is head and shoulders above all her competition, there are several other impressive russian ladies, including Elena Radionova, who is close to Evgenia's age.  in pair and ice dance, there's a much wider gulf between the top teams and the rest of the field, so there are several standouts and lots of also rans.  i don't follow pairs as closely, i know that russian pair was winning a lot last year, so.  there aren't that many ice dance pairs of note, but the shib sibs and bobrova/soloviev should be outstanding.  i'm also VERY excited to see the Shib Sibs new programs.  Maia wrote about them extensively here, but since this is their first competition this year, i'm really looking forward to that.

[just a quick post-SP note... Nathan was phenomenal.  he's leading Yuzuru, but he knows better than to rest on that laud... Evgenia was, in fact, breathtaking, but poor Mirai... imploded.  that one SP might ruin her GPF chances, but it remains to be seen how she can bounce back.  she did do the triple axel, but she didn't exactly land it.  Elena Radionova and Wakaba Higuchi were both amazing, but Carolina Kostner was in top form.  the russian pair, Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov, were a~~ma~~~zing.  ☆_☆   and then and then and then....!!!!  maia and alex!!!!  their program was everything maia wrote about!  it's got some polishing to do, but that's to be expected at this point, but if they get the program perfected, they absolutely can complete with virtue/moir, so it's really exciting!]

predictions Men :  it would be pretty shocking to me if the podium didn't consist of Hanyu, Chen, and Kolyada, and slightly less but still shocking if it didn't go in that order Ladies : Evgenia will win gold, that's not even a prediction, if that doesn't happen it'll be a tragedy.  however, it's a crowded field for the next two and three spots.  everyone needs to place at least in the top four to have a chance of making the final.  i expect Wakaba, Mirai, Elena, and Carolina to be up there, but i'm reallllllly hoping Mirai can pull off a medal. Pairs : gold for Tarasova/Morozov, don't know about the rest Ice Dance :  Shib sibs gold, Bobrova/Soloviev silver, don't know enough to guess bronze.

Skate Canada, October 27–29 notable skaters Men :  Patrick Chan, Shouma Uno, Jason Brown Ladies : Kaetlyn Osmond, Marin Honda, Rika Hongo, Anna Pogorilaya, Maria Sotskova, Karen Chen, Ashley Wagner Pairs : Meagan Duhamel / Eric Radford, Peng Cheng / Jin Yang, Vanessa James / Morgan Ciprès, Aliona Savchenko / Bruno Massot Ice Dance :  Tessa Virtue / Scott Moir, Kaitlyn Weaver / Andrew Poje, Madison Hubbell / Zachary Donohue

what a crowded field.  just. wow.  well, except for the men... it should be noted that home skaters always have an advantage in these GPS events.  that being said, Patrick Chan SHOULD have trouble beating Shouma Uno here... after all, in his first competition this season, Uno got a new personal best total score, the second highest personal best of all time.  however, he'll still do awesome.  jason brown................. might have trouble medaling.  even though the men's competition is a little thin, but it's going to be a tough battle for him all season.  i do hope he wins something.  the ladies competition is insane.  just.  absolutely insane.  literally every skater i've listed there is worthy of being in the top three/four.  it's insane.  karen chen.... she has such promise, but she's also very inconsistent. i was ready to write her off for this season because, frankly, her programs were underwhelming to the extreme.  however... she's changed up her free program, which is a GOOD decision.  (she should also change her short program, too.  SO MANY SKATERS are using moulin rougue music, most of them the SAME music, and sadly for all of them, virtue and moir are using it, so... VERY few of those other programs have any chance of being memorable.)  for pairs... GOD, i HOPE this is James and Ciprès' season of awesome!!!!  they are so... engaging, exciting, charismatic... i really hope they do well.  for the rest............... i'm not huge fans of Duhamel/Radford, but they have home ice advantage.  we'll see.  and the glorious start of Virtue & Moir's season... they will be EXCEPTIONAL.

predictions Men :  Uno for gold, Chan for silver........ hopefully Brown for bronze Ladies :  i'm sorry, but Kaetlyn Osmond pretty much already has gold *coughs*whether she deserves it or not*coughs*.   i can't even comprehend how crowded this field is, it's almost unfair... two great japanese skaters, two great russian skaters, and two great US skaters.  i guess i would put my money on Anna Pogorilaya, and my hope on Ashely Wagner Pairs :  James and Ciprès gold (i hope!), Aliona Savchenko / Bruno Massot either gold or silver, and then Peng Cheng/Jin Yang or Duhamel/Radford but... probably should be Peng Cheng/Jin Yang Ice Dance :  Tessa Virtue / Scott Moir, Kaitlyn Weaver / Andrew Poje, Madison Hubbell / Zachary Donohue probably in order (well, definitely gold for Virtue/Moir)

Cup of China, November 3–5 notable skaters Men : Boyang Jin, Javier Fernández, Vincent Zhou, Mikhail Kolyada Ladies : Gabrielle Daleman, Wakaba Higuchi, Marin Honda, Mai Mihara, Elena Radionova, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Alina Zagitova, Choi Da-bin Pairs : Sui Wenjing / Han Cong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Yu Xiaoyu / Zhang Hao, Ashley Cain / Timothy LeDuc Ice Dance :  Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume Cizeron, Ekaterina Bobrova / Dmitri Soloviev, Madison Chock / Evan Bates

my thoughts not as tough a field, but it's china's time to shine.  and with Boyang Jin, Sui/Han!!!!!!!, and Yu Xiaoyu / Zhang Hao, they absolutely will shine.  however, this is also Javier's first GPS event, and he has some really charming programs this season.  i have big hopes for Vincent Zhou.  he's last season's Junior World champion, and he has an amazing free program... after landing 6th in the short program in his last competition, he won the free skate and got silver, so... there's every reason to have high hopes.  he's got big jumps and great expressions.  just a beautiful skater.  these russian women are going to sabotage themselves, really, especially since only three can go to the olympics.  there's just too many really great ones.  I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE SUI/HAN'S NEW PROGRAMS GIVE THEM ALL THE MEDALS ALLLL OF THEM!!!!!!!  yes, i really love James/Ciprès, but sui/han are just... so amazing to watch.  they deserve it all, they have such a great connection, and are so explosive.  the other chinese couple i've listed are also favorites of mine, he's so big and barrel-chested, and she's so tiny, it's so fun to watch.  ice dance is going to hurt my heart, because i'm really......... indifferent, at best, to the french couple, but the judges ADORE them.  ADORE everything they do.  (granted, ice dance is first and foremost about superb skating skills, and it can be really hard to judge that if you're not an expert, so...)  i love Chock/Bates, so i realllllllly hope they can pull it off.  this will also be their first competition this season, so it'll be VERY interesting to see their programs!!

predictions Men :  even with home ice... i think it'll be Fernández for gold, Jin for silver, and Zhou for bronze Ladies : Daleman has the necessary goods to win gold here, but both Wakaba Higuchi and Mai Mihara could spoil it for her.  all three of those russians are competitive, but Radionova probably the most, so.... ladies figure skating is CRAZY competitive this season... Pairs : Sui Wenjing / Han Cong, Yu Xiaoyu / Zhang Hao, Ashley Cain / Timothy LeDuc in that order, but Cain/LeDuc will be benefiting from relatively thin competition Ice Dance :  might as well give Papadakis/Cizeron the gold ahead of time for efficiency.  Bobrova/Soloviev and Chock and Bates will also medal, no idea which order

NHK Trophy, November 10–12 notable skaters Men : Yuzuru Hanyu, Patrick Chan, Dmitri Aliev, Jason Brown, Adam Rippon.  also, Deniss Vasiljevs Ladies : Evgenia Medvedeva, Carolina Kostner, Rika Hongo, Satoko Miyahara, Mirai Nagasu.  also, Mariah Bell Pairs :  Sui Wenjing / Han Cong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  also, Alexa Scimeca Knierim / Chris Knierim Ice Dance :  Tessa Virtue / Scott Moir, Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte.  also, Madison Hubbell / Zachary Donohue

my thoughts boy, Sui/Han have to compete two weeks in a row... not sure if that's an advantage or disadvantage, but it doesn't really matter, as they really have no competition here.  another tough men's competition... and Adam Rippon's first GPS event!  this will turn into the battle of the Top Men Who Don't Really Do Quads or At Least Not Many, with Chan, Rippon, and Brown.  i didn't mention this before, but Deniss Vasiljevs is, ofc, Stéphane Lambiel's student, and it shows in his spins and presentation. i don't think he's really got the jumps to compete, but he's wonderful to watch, and he's still really young.  Evgenia will still dominate.  Carolina may have her GPS end here, with the tough japanese competition.  i'm not a huge fan of mariah bell, but i haven't seen her programs yet this season, so who knows.  virtue & moir will continue their season of glory, but i'm really a fan of that italian couple, Cappellini/Lanotte.  they're really fun and quirky and joyous.

predictions Men :  Hanyu for gold, Chan for silver, probably Rippon for bronze... hopefully jason brown will get fourth, but it's not at all certain Ladies : Evgenia for gold, probably Satoko Miyahara for silver, and hopefully Mirai Nagasu for bronze Pairs : Sui/Han are all that matters Ice Dance : Tessa Virtue / Scott Moir, Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte, Madison Hubbell / Zachary Donohue, in that order, Hubbell/Donohue once again lucky to have thin competition

Internationaux de France, November 17–19 notable skaters Men : Shouma Uno, Javier Fernández, Vincent Zhou.  also, Denis Ten, Misha Ge Ladies :  Kaetlyn Osmond, Mai Mihara, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Alina Zegitove, Maria Sotskova.  also, Elizabet Tursynbayeva Pairs :  Peng Cheng / Jin Yang, Vanessa James / Morgan Ciprès, Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov Ice Dance :  Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume Cizeron, Kaitlyn Weaver / Andrew Poje, Madison Chock / Evan Bates

my thoughts by this time, the finals picture should be getting quite clear.  again, these russian ladies are going to end up squeezing each other out of the finals...  will Shouma make it to gold or will Javier hold him off??  

predictions Men :  ...... i'll say... Shouma for gold, Javier silver, Vincent bronze Ladies :   Kaetlyn Osmond will win gold, and then... Mai Mihara silver, and then for bronze... probably Alina Zegitove, but Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Maria Sotskova should both be close Pairs : Vanessa James / Morgan Ciprès for gold (hopefully), Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov for silver (also a good bet for gold), Peng Cheng / Jin Yang bronze Ice Dance : Papadakis/Cizeron will win, hopefully Chock/Bates will get silver, and Weaver/Poje bronze

Skate America, November 24–26 notable skaters Men :  Nathan Chen, Boyang Jin, Adam Rippon.  also, Maxim Kovtun Ladies :  Gabrielle Daleman, Satoko Miyahara, Choi Da-bin, Anna Pogorilaya, Karen Chen, Ashley Wagner Pairs : Aliona Savchenko / Bruno Massot, Yu Xiaoyu / Zhang Hao, Meagan Duhamel / Eric Radford, Alexa Scimeca Knierim / Chris Knierim Ice Dance :  Maia and Alex Shibutani, Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte, Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier

my thoughts the last stop before the final!!  i don't know how nathan will feel, being in the first event and then waiting around to the last... but he has the temperament to not really be bothered.  again, the ladies field is glutted with talent... Choi Da-bin is a young lady with a TON of pressure on her.  she's the top female skater from Korea in the year they are hosting the Olympics.  at the last Olympics, Queen Yuna was still reigning, so they're probably looking for a new leader from their ranks, but... it's just too glutted a field.  o___o. it's crazy.  also, Satoko Miyahara won the silver in the GPF last year, but was injured shortly after that and didn't compete at worlds.  hard to say how her healing has gone, but she's got the potential.   the Americans will have a tough time here, but they have home ice advantage, so... there's... that.  pairs is underwhelming, and the Shib Sibs are in the same boat as Nathan, but they're so busy with pre-Olympics obligations, it's probably a relief.

predictions Men :  Nathan Chen for gold, Boyang Jin for silver, Adam Rippon bronze Ladies :  Gabrielle Dalemon or Satoko Miyahara for gold, and... Anna Pogorilaya for bronze.  Ashley and Karen's only hope might be to get fourth and squeeze in... Pairs : Aliona Savchenko / Bruno Massot gold, rest kinda doesn't matter Ice Dance : Maia and Alex Shibutani, Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte, Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier, in that order

2017–18 Grand Prix Final, December 7–10

SO THEN.  my guesses for the final six...??????

Men :  Yuzuru Hanyu, Shouma Uno, Nathan Chen, Javier Fernández, Patrick Chan, Boyang Jin... probably.  Adam Rippon and Vincent Zhou will be close Ladies :  Evgenia Medvedeva is unquestionable.  the field is so tight, it's hard to predict.  Kaetlyn Osmond is probably the next surest thing.  Gabrielle Daleman, Satoko Miyahara, Mai Mihara, Wakaba Higuchi, Anna Pogorilaya, Elena Radionova, Mirai Nagesu, Alina Zegitove, Maria Sotskova... they're all potentials.  many of them will end up getting cut simply because of the tough competition Pairs : Sui/Han, Vanessa James / Morgan Ciprès, Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov, Aliona Savchenko / Bruno Massot, i don't really know enough about pairs to guess further Ice Dance :  Virtue/Moir ofc, the Shib Sibs and Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume Cizeron are locks, Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev, Chock/Bates, and i hope hope hope Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte

medal predictions???? dare i??????? Men :  Hanyu, Uno, and Chen will all make the podium.  take your pick who gets what Ladies :  Evgenia will win gold.  other than that, it's too hard to even predict who will be competing against her... Pairs : Sui/Han will win gold (i hope).  James/Ciprès, Tarasova/Morozov, and Savchenko/Massot will all be right there, i hope James/Ciprès can medal... Ice Dance :  Virtue/Moir is as sure a thing all season as Evgenia is.  i REALLY hope that the Shib Sibs and Chock/Bates join them on the podium, but realistically i know that Papadakis/Cizeron will be hard to beat for silver, even... (for some reason i can't quite work out...)

Tag game!

I was tagged by @ohbabycupcakes thank u💖

RULES: Name 10 favorite characters from 10 different things then tag 10 people + leave comments on all of them

This is gonna be hard, where do I even start?

1) Keith (Voltron: Legendary Defender)

Okay I'm- trying not to laugh too hard because oh boy, this show was a complete mess. BUT Keith still stays as one of my favorite characters ever just because no matter how badly I was hurt by vld he'll always be precious to me 💖 He's hotheaded, cool and a lone wolf, but needs affection more than anyone else on the team. He's easy for me to relate to as I am more likely to push someone away than to keep them close just to avoid being hurt as well. His development is amazing tho and I love love him so much 😭 also it might be just that I have a soft spot for emo characters lmao

2) Todoroki Shoto (Boku no Hero Academia)

This just reinforces my statement earlier since Todoroki is pretty emo too :') But in a different way than Keith. If you are a part of bnha fandom you know he's generally a little bit overrated, but I couldn't help falling in love with him at first sight anyway lol His backstory is tragic but he keeps pursuing his dream and damn is he good at it. Also the combo of fire and ice is aesthetic goals. However, what I admire the most about Shoto is probably his loyalty to his friends, his will to fight and sometimes his goofy attitude (even if he probably isn't aware that he's being goofy lol) In conclusion: I love him, let's move on.

3) Uenoyama Ritsuka (Given)

Can I just stop to say how much I love given for a moment? Like I've never seen a bl anime/manga that would portray gay characters so respectfully 😭❤️ Ue is basically me gay panicking, I feel the boy so much :') OH also what's up with gays & guitars bc first given, then why r u and now also 2gether :') (I might be falling in love with this trope help) okay so: Ue is panicking when he starts liking Mafuyu but he handles it so well in a way? He doesn't deny his crush even if he is slow to notice it lol He's straightforward and sometimes a little bit rough around the edges, but even if he's supposed to be "the cool guy" we see him in the most hilarious settings and that just makes me love him all the more 💖 he respects Mafuyu and his boundaries and I want more of that in bl anime please

4) Eiji & Ash (Banana Fish)

Uhhhh this anime,,, I CANNOT choose between Ash and Eiji, I'm gonna forever see them as a pair and that's simply it. Ash is another emo one I would like to say that but he's actually not. He's backstory is heartbreaking and the life he has to live is dangerous and scary. He gets used to this reality where he has no one to rely on and no one to trust but then Eiji appears tearing his walls down and making him finally be able to show his soft and sensitive side to someone. Eiji is like a salve for his wounds and yes, I'm still emotional about it bc their relationship is one of the best developped I've ever seen. Their bond is so strong it's beautiful, they would literally die for each other. It's so apparent that they love each other and care for each other so much (don't mind me crying in the corner)

5) Percy Jackson (Percy Jackson & the Olympians)

PJ technically got me into fantasy/sci-fi in elementary school and it stays at the top of my favorite book series list ever (big props to Uncle Rick 👏) The whole series is funny and I would say pretty light-hearted even tho you know,,, Percy saves the world several times, lol, usual demigod things™. He's lovable. Son of Poseidon so he has seaweeds instead of a brain (or so you thought, he is brilliant at strategic planning and has a charisma to be a great leader), has a very good sense of humor, is loyal and would risk everything for his friends. Also he loves his girlfriend very much and I was crying while reading the House of Hades but no one needed to know that oh well. I'm also gonna mention Nico de Angelo here, since he fell in love with Percy (didn't we all tho) and was the first gay character I saw portrayed in the book and oh do I love him 😭💖

6) 707 (Mystic Messenger)

Was I losing sleep over this game? I was. Do I regret anything? Absolutely not. I think my choices are pretty boring tho, since Seven is literally everyone's favorite but oh boy there's a reason for that. Apart from being a talented hacker who knows too much (and I think is cautious of us the most at the start) he has a lovely happy-go-lucky personality composed of all the lame jokes, questions "have you eaten already" and anxiety (another emo one). He's that type of a character who will always try to make you laugh but you never know what's going on inside his head. He's mysterious and we don't get to know him well till his route so pretty much till the end of the game lol. Also he loves his brother, phd pepper, honey buddha chips and Elizabeth 3rd the most in this entire world and I love him for that

7) Evan Hansen (Dear Evan Hansen)

ANOTHER EMO ONE okay but hear me out Evan has social anxiety and its portrayal is almost too real for me. He makes a big oopsie which at the start seems like a little innocent lie but then snowballs to enormous sizes. He gains everything in this bargain, a best (dead) friend, a caring mother, a father, a girlfriend even - and then everything falls apart since it all is built on one fat lie. He makes a lot of mistakes and then some more but you get it and you feel for him, and you cry with him and you're happy for him. And when all of this is over you're glad that he's still there trying his best, taking it one day at a time. And sidenote: Ben Platt's voice is angelic and I love him as Evan 💖💖💖

8) Isak (SKAM)

Another gay panicking one. I'm starting to realize there's a set of traits that I particularly like in fictional characters lol But ye, when I was watching skam ofc it was the third season which gripped me the most and kept me on the edge, bc yet again Isak taking an "are you gay" test was way too real for me. He makes a lot of mistakes along the way of figuring out his sexuality and sometimes stuff with Evan becomes really messy (for both of them) but he stays with him nevertheless ❤️ Skam is literally so good in its portrayal of the characters :') Anyways: alt er love 💖

9) Viktor & Yuuri (Yuri on Ice)

Em, another one that I absolutely can't break up to just one bc how could I? Yuri on ice got me into skating ❤️ I went to an ice rink for the first time bc of this anime and I almost died but now look at me actually finishing my first three months of ice skating training and watching real life figure skating competitions :') Little did I know then. But they're not only my favourites bc of that, I genuinely love the development of their relationship from fan - idol through skater - couch to lovers and history makers in the end. I love how Yuuri is a ball of insecurities and how Viktor manages to reassure him. I love how Viktor fell in love with drunk Yuuri clinging to him. I love how at first Yuuri wasn't able to get too close to Viktor without getting flustered and it changes so drastically to them basically always holding onto each other. I love how Viktor was stuck with no inspiration but then Yuuri came and turned his world upside down. I love how they support and respect each other. I could probably go on into eternity like that and Yuri on ice isn't even the best anime I've ever seen but it's certainly my favourite one ❤️

10) Tutor (WHY R U)

I can't believe I'm so obsessed with thai dramas rn and I'm only gonna include Tor on this list smh He's mental attitude inspires me. He's able to hold so much and appears totally unfazed even if he's barely holding on inside. He's hardworking and doesn't want others to pity him since he can manage it all just fine. He has a kind heart, he's a wonderful friend (especially to Hwa, he always listens to her, gives her pieces of advise, supports her and tries to cheer her up). He never forgets to say thank you when he genuinely feels grateful. But as we've seen he also is passionate and when he loves he LOVES. Also he's the biggest tease to Fighter and I love him for that :') I am so satisfied just by seeing him happy, please do not change that whyru gods 🙏

As it appears I'm done .-. I have no idea what have just happened and if my rambling even makes sense but not that I care at this point. If you read this far, please drink some water now, that was a lot of reading to go through ❤️

Tagging: @wir-ro, @saecookie and any other 8 people who might want to ksks (im too tired to tag lmao)

Don't be like me and go to bed at reasonable hours despite this whole quarantine thing .-. thank again Doreen for tagging since it was really fun 🥺❤️
