when we say goodbye

He really gets on with his own parents and his mother has publicly voiced her support for him.

Me: yeah

I want to become such an existence that even if my competitors deliver perfect performances, they feel that they “can’t triumph over Yuzuru Hanyu.” 

In interviews following his short program at 2019 Worlds—which landed him in third place— Yuzuru expressed his feelings of “kuyashii” (= akin to regretful, remorseful) and how his mind went blank. 

does this seem like the correct way of dealing with a complicated situation? we have yet to hear any words from eunsoo and mariah themselves… only the words of a management team. and still, inflammatory articles like that from allkpop circulate misleading information with titles like “mariah bell stabs eunsoo lim on leg with skates”. on the flip side, adam rippon has surprised us (note the sarcasm) with his self victimization and insensitive defense once again…

Thought I should post this here too.

Stop bitching about pewdiepie.

“Subscribe the PewDiePie” has been a huge thing lately. A lot of YouTubers, other creators, and fans alike have done some pretty crazy things to promote PewDiePie in hopes of him being the first channel to reach 100 subscribers, like buying billboards and advertising on the Superbowl (kind of… shout out to Mr Beast, by the way, for being so badass).

This “battle” against T-Series has never been about India as a whole, which recent articles and videos would have you believe. It’s a fight for YouTube itself between self made content creators like PewDiePie and large, faceless corporations like T-Series.

Have people taken the “Subscribe to PewDiePie” thing to far? Yes. See articles about the recent vandalzation of a war memorial, which Felix openly disagreed with and discouraged.

But Felix has never and WOULD never encourage a fan of his to take the meme this far. No true fan of Felix would want to take the meme this far because it would be smearing and slandering his name.

However, this terrorist saw that PewDiePie was the perfect scapegoat and the perfect way to get the attention he so desperately desired (he livestreamed the entire thing on facebook ffs).

American media (and probably other places too. I don’t know though because I’m American) is giving the shooter exactly what he wanted. He’s getting attention in the way that he wanted. He wanted to tie himself to this popular meme. By blaming Felix, you’re giving him exactly what he wants.

No one is to blame here but the terrorist himself. Not Felix. Not his fans. No one but the shooter and his terrible, racist, islamophobia.

My heart breaks for the victims and their families a million times over, and they’re all in my prayers and in my heart tonight. That’s what we should be focusing on here… not trying to deflect the blame onto someone who’s name got sickeningly tied to this tragic event that he had absolutely no connections with.

Felix is a good dude with a good heart. He doesn’t deserve this, and the victims sure as HELL did not deserve this.
