You gotta be careful with rival stuff tbh. One day you go like "Oh I'm gonna defeat you and show you who is better!!" and the next you realize you want to grow old to see your "rival" live a long and happy life that he always deserved

this is what happened in the ss finals i think i still havent read the story

I don't think I'll ever be eloquent enough to express completely what his skating means to me. Just thinking about any of his performances makes my soul full, and brings a smile to my face. If I remember what he had to endure as a competitive skater, and that life is not a paradise for him even now when he truly deserves it, then some of that happiness/hope/admiration/awe/etc some of it morphs into something a bit mournful because he deserved and deserves the best. He is the only skater with a program that made me cry, and the only skater I was willing to stay up the entire night to just to see a few minutes of his art.

Hanyu Yuzuru, thank you for picking figure and artistic skating over everything. 19 was stellar for you, so I hope 29 will go in the same manner. Happy birthday GOAT.

I will spare a few minutes to rewatch a program of yours today. Most likely Haru yo, Koi, I think I need that one the most.

Yuzu outside alert

An era has ended 🥲

On this blog's future...

Yuzu and Shoma now have both retired from competitive skating 😭, but they are not lost for figure skating at all! Yuzu already showed us what he had in store after going pro and he offered a whole new world. What will Shoma do in the future? Let's find out together! As Yuzu and Shoma are still skating this blog remains active as of now.

I cannot guarantee you how active it will remain though or how long, but be sure that I will notify you if I am stopping posting altogether.

Thank you for following! Thank you to everyone who sends asks and who messaged me privately. Creating this blog as a platform to share my love for two incredible skaters has been a fun journey, but it would not have been as much fun without you. 🫶

For anything about me and my thoughts on skating and anything related to this blog, you can read my introduction post from July 2022, most of what I said there still is the same today with one big exception that I will not post about competitions on here anymore. I will do that on my main account @jennibeultimate though or on my X/Twitter account @Dornrschen8.

BUT you are still welcome to send me questions about figure skating related things or Yuzu and/or Shoma ☺️

I have some ideas for new projects on Yuzu and Shoma. And I am looking forward to The Sorcerer's Apprentice in Champery to see Shoma live again. ☺️ It hasn't settled in yet that I won't see Shoma in competition anymore and I feel very thankful that I have seen him skate live so often....it will just take time to adjust to a competition world without Shoma...it will surely be different from now on...

I feel blessed to have followed Yuzu's and Shoma's journey for so long and I am looking forward to what the future will hold! Wishing Yuzu and Shoma all the best! Thank you for your skating! ❤️

I'm not usually one to doodle let alone post them but midori and yuzuru are infecting my brain at all times and I had to draw them at least a little bit

first one.. I think the thought of midori gifting yuzuru a plushie and yuzuru taking care of it very well is super cute,, so I just ran with the theme of plushies and somehow it ended as a capybara

second one.. I enjoyed the thought of midori asking yuzuru to design accessories for his outfits and keito ending up having to decipher a lot of them. I also wanted to draw shirtless kuro

[surreal-duck]

master artist and his number one fan

guy who is being so normal about the new additions to their profiles. i think abt midoris initial infatuation with his art slowly developing into appreciating yuzuru himself as a person and idol to the point he worries about how he sees him (ex: a bit of home party and in workplace survival rules) sometimes thats a lie i think about it a lot. and yuzuru learning to enjoy art just for the sake of drawing!! seeing the lets try diy story where he doesnt even refute drawing on midoris desk and was only worried that his doodles might cover up the mascot design compared to how discouraged he usually would be in earlier ! stories. everything to me i adore their dynamic if that wasnt obvious by *gestures to basically everything*

and happy pride month 🏳‍🌈

I'm right-handed, so I draw from the left side.

If you can't see where you draw by hand, you can't draw the right lines😊

I know I was just here but I HAD A HAD A SURGE OF INSPIRATION. HEAR ME OUT OK.

I don't know if you also plan to have Yuzuru in the AU, but I thought of the best motive for him to murder.

Maybe at the first chapter he'd notice someone, very well off and familiar to him. Why? Because he remembers that person as someone that made his dear young master, his close companion and friend, very uncomfortable. The moment he saw him, he could feel his bloodlust increase. So what did he do? Devise a perfect plan to be able to murder that person without any proof.

Maybe in chapter 4 or 3, he'd receive a motive alongside everyone (like in the first game second chapter I think?) and he doesn't react. Everyone would be weirded out, but that's just Yuzuru being himself, right?

At the end, he would manage to murder that person he always wanted to, (and if it's at chapter 3, someone would walk in and he'd be forced to murder them or use them to murder that person and then murder them in the end.) and at the class trial, the moment they would point out proof against him, he would counter it with ease. That's because he had been devising a plan for over 3 chapters, wasn't he?

Kdheorhdkd I feel like I need to see this, but I don't even know if you would even put him in the AU or not LMAO. Hopefully this would give you some inspiration for future murder cases :D

I also feel like Yuzuru would conceal his ultimate by just saying he's the ultimate butler, and Tori would help cover up for him and would also say that he's the ultimate (young) master. and they would be an excellent duo if they ever decide to murder together. Eheheheh...

OHHHH DUO MURDER !!!! duo murder …. THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA MUEHEHEHEHE. I have Several Shenanigans for the AU already, but let’s expand on an au where they decide to kill as a duo (but its more of an accomplice thingy.)

During chapter 3 of the game, Yuzuru would have noticed Ibara acting … odd. Like he had something to hide. What was he hiding? The fact that he was the mastermind? It couldn’t possibly be the secret they have gotten as a motive, no. It must be him as the mastermind. He’s been already planning this, a just-in-case situation. So lets turn this into a reality.

Simply put, Ibara was drugged and taken away from everyone else. Compared to the classrooms that have been renovated into simple rooms, he was taken to the rooftop. Seen as he was unconscious and unable to do anything, Yuzuru started his plan. … Well, he couldn’t. Tori peaked out from the door and asked what Yuzuru was doing here with Ibara. He hesitated to respond as Tori took in the situation. He just walked into a premeditated murder, didn’t he? Tori backed away, wondering if he should tell everyone else about what happened or stay quiet. Yuzuru grabbed his hand and told him to stay, that he had a plan. He just needed his help. As he explained his plan in full, Tori began to realize how well crafted it was. In the best case, Tori would have escaped the game. In the worst case though, his demise was planned. Tori began to realize that if he didn’t agree and told everyone, he could have possibly been next. So he knew he what he had to do. With a slow plunge to his chest, Tori stabbed Ibara right in the heart with Yuzuru overlooking him. He complimented on how well he did, not a trace of blood on his clothes. Yuzuru instructed Tori to head back to his room and forget this even happened. With a wan expression, Tori went back to his room. Now his plan was set into action.

Hours gone by during the night, as he was busy chopping up his body into bits. Tools “conveniently” placed in the nurses office by Monoshoji allowed him to grab a saw and began cutting. With his body literally chopped up into bits, he knew he had to make due. He hurriedly made his way down the hall, his clothes entirely stained in blood. Placing traces of his flesh in several rooms, carefully tucked away in corners to not activate a dead body discoverery. His plan was cleverly completed soon enough. The final touch was to place Ibara’s head on his bed, for an extra touch of flare. If they solved the case, they surely wouldn’t forget this. Using the key he stole from Ibara, Yuzuru opened his door and placed the head on his bed. He smiled as nobody would realized what happened. All signs pointed to him of course, so he would be chosen as the blackened. When it was revealed that Tori was the true culprit, shocked faces would light around the room. Execution after execution later, including his own, Tori would then be free. A grinned planted on his face as he grabbed a spare change of clothes and went over to the nurses office to grab the 3% hydrogen peroxide and clean his clothes. As he sat on the floor with a blood stained shirt in hand, he thought about how to counter any accuse given in the upcoming trial. God, this was just too easy.
