I made a joke last night about how I love Magnús Scheving (creator of LazyTown, and the actor who plays Sportacus) with all my heart, but I realized this morning that it's completely true. I've been going through a really rough time lately, both emotionally and just meatspace stress in general (holiday season, and I work in retail) and watching LazyTown and enjoying all the bts stuff I can find with Magnús and the others has been one of the only things able to keep my spirits up during it.

He's just a really good dude? There's jokes about not knowing where Magnús ends and Sportacus begins but jokes aside, he very much is the sort of person Sportacus encourages us to be, and that's not a bad thing. He's kind and friendly, he likes to have fun, and cares about people, he works hard and he has nothing but glowing praise for the people he works with. Watching him in things he's adorable, the way he just lights up with delight. He might be a little bit extra, what with all the sports tricks, but to be honest I know that if I could do that kind of stuff I'd never stop either.

He's even given me the last bit of inspiration I need to actually start taking an active role in trying to get stronger, rather than just waiting around for something to happen, though I'm putting it off till after the holiday season because there's some minor logistics I need to sort out and right now I'm just too tired.
