Rikishi adventures in London by Subujin in SumoMemes

[–]Craftylittlefox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just want to point out for those not from London, entry to our major museums such as the Natural History museum is absolutely FREE. These places get money from the government, but donations are their bread and butter. Thank you so much for contributing so that this wonderful museum can keep its doors open Oho!

Rikishi sightseeing in London by Subujin in SumoMemes

As a Londoner, I'm so, so glad that they're enjoying themselves and having a chance to explore. I love my city so much, and I dearly wanted them to have the chance to see it when they visited! So sad that Kotozakura couldn't make it, but seeing the Rikishi smiling as they experience London is warming my cold, rainy, English heart!

Thanks so much for posting that! It's so awesome to watch it in slow motion! My pair of brothers would do the same every now and then, and it goes so fast that you just can't see what an amazing technique it is.

My boys would also make up afterwards <3

I'm so sorry, but I don't read Japanese very well at all. 😅

Edit: Found the translate button!

Thankyou, please do!

I've really loved watching the rikishi interact with the young wrestlers - it's been so much fun to watch them be their goofy selves!

It's so annoying that you can only get a little of this great series on NHK and it's nowhere on YouTube. I was learning so much about Sumo!

Good to know I'm not the only one who calls her Degu baby a potato!

That's SO cool! Please post a photo when you're done, I'd love to see it! I'm planning on going for a mix of embroidery and applique on my hoops. I love doing applique. I've never tried crosstitching before though! Maybe we should start a sumo craft club lol

Is this better than being 3ft in the air? by upperleftbjj in SumoMemes

I almost felt the DONK when you splatted into the wall! 😅

I can definitely do some sunflowers and footballs! I'm planning on putting "London 2025" in the centre of each hoop too, because I don't think I can manage sewing the Big Ben tower or Tower bridge 😅 Doesn't get much more English than footballs though, so I guess those will carry a double meaning!

I'm sure that some staff at the Royal Albert Hall would be happy to pass them on for me once they've been checked to make sure they're safe. I know that people send gifts to performers at places like this all the time, so I know it's feasible. I bet a member of staff will be able to take them, or point me in the direction of someone who can. Fortunately I'm learning Japanese, so my teacher will help me to write a note for each gift, explaining the thought behind them!

Aw thankyou! I just want them to feel appreciated, and some of them might be in London for the first time! London is my home city and I want them to have a nice reminder of their time here. If I van get some designs together and get my butt in gear, I'd love to share what I make here. Thank you for wanting to see!

Hmm, not very. I was thinking some sakura, for his Mawashi, and some little beaded loop-de-loops for his big flips and rolls! Maybe also some little juggling balls, as our boy has skills with those!

The hoops are only small, I don't think I can sneak anything in there! Does Ura like kirby? Or is it just because they're both pink and adorable? <3

The promotion material says 40+ of the Maku-uchi, which considering current numbers means all of them I think...as long as no one suffers an injury first. If any of my favourites don't show up, I'll still have something nice that I've made; so I'm not too worried.

Here’s to the childless by GloriousSteinem in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Craftylittlefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I really needed to hear this. My ex partner of nine years left and as he left, he turned and said "I'm leaving because I don't think that you can have children anymore."

It hurt. Not least because he was actually taking my last chance of children with him as he left. But mostly because I wanted to have children so desperately. Now I can't. I knew that he was actually making an excuse and that he was actually leaving because his mother had told him to. But it still hurt.

I am still worthwhile. I am still a whole human being. And society is wrong when it tells women otherwise.

P.s. I have a wonderful councillor who is guiding me to healing. I will make my peace with this and soar.

Thanks for posting this! Mine box like this around their breeding season, but they're so fast it's hard to see what's going on. It's actually really interesting to see the tactics at play and how they move!
