I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned gymnastics on tumblr before this Olympics, but I am an avid fan, and I think tumblr would get a kick out of hearing how I started following gymnastics:

I’m not sure how it got into my YouTube recommended, maybe because I’m a dancer and watched dance stuff and dance and gymnastics are kind of adjacent sports? That’s the only thing I can think of, because I had never watched gymnastics before.

It was an “Annie vs Whitney competition comparison” video- Annie (she now goes by Jules) Leblanc and Whitney Bjerken were two child gymnasts who were also YouTubers, Annie more than Whitney. If you’ve ever heard of the channel Bratayley, that’s Annie and her family. Interestingly, both of them have made music both while competing and after quitting- Whitney actually just put out an album in March that’s pretty good!

Anyway I’m getting off topic. These comparison videos were actually a kind of shitty thing that people did that took two children and pit them against each other, which nobody needed. I’m pretty sure they were both level 9 at the time, which is pretty good compared to non-gymnasts, but quite far from high level elite gymnasts. But even though their gymnastics was nowhere near the best out there, I was mesmerized by Annie’s bar routine. She had some release moves and it just looked like flying to me.

And that led to what was first an obsession and became an interest in gymnastics. I’ve never actually done gymnastics (besides leaps and turns which are a minor part of gymnastics but a bigger part of dance but I’ve never done acro which is also used quite a lot in dance) although I haven’t given up on it, though it will be a lot harder now because I’m an adult and my arthritis is so much worse. But I know a lot. My little sister does low-level gymnastics and I actually know enough to help her, which is quite fun!

Anyways this was longer than I intended it to be, but there you have it- my interest in gymnastics was caused by me literally doomscrolling. And I have no regrets.

Honestly a crime that the uneven bars final is at the same time as my EMT class

“As the days get darker and the light fades, we close our eyes and dream, whether that be happy or sad. Do we know what shall happen before us? Will we be happy for the rest of our lives? The answer is simple - in your bad dreams or thoughts, there is always something bright. And in my dreams it’s you.”

happy 17th birthday Caleb Logan Leblanc. we miss you so much down here. we miss your bright smile and contagious laugh. i hope you’re partying it up in heaven 🕊

“

From the age of 4, Annie LeBlanc has had every major milestone in her life documented on YouTube. Her parents are what are known as “family vloggers,” and since 2008 they have dutifully recorded every moment of her childhood along with their family’s life on their YouTube channel, Bratayley.

Fans have seen Annie throw temper tantrums, lose her first tooth, begin school, learn to ride a bike, and enter puberty. Naturally, when she began spending time with a boy for the first time at age 12, her online fanbase of nearly 20 million followers across social platforms freaked out.
