I think we're all so devastated at the news of IceAdo's cancelation. It was an incredible anime not only because it was groundbreaking for the queer community in terms of quality, but also in terms of how intimately the relationship was depicted without being vulgar or explicit, which many other such anime depend on to gain an audience. The profound devotion Yuuri and Victor had towards each other and figure skating was palatable and it just sucked you in. A lot of times, it even felt like you were intruding on a private moment between them, especially as Yuuri got more comfortable around Victor and started being more open about his anxiety, which was also a focal point of the show, also masterfully depicted.
It was such a beautiful experience, that we wanted more of it, which is what we thought we were going to get. But for 8 years, we were strung along, our hope exploited, until finally, the cancelation, which we all realized, after a certain point, was coming.
The pain of not being able to sink in to the world of Yuuri!!! On Ice once more is very deep, because that kind of magic is something you just crave once it has entered your life, BUT!!!!
OK SO i found this vat7k Spotify playlist and YKK I LISTENED TO THE WHOLE THING IN ONE RUN AND YOU SHOULD TOOOOOO its honestly so accurate 🤭 whoever made this, ilysm please marry me
for old times' sake ...
A short story about Viktor's life♡
Growing up Viktor always wanted to skate, at the age of 4 he was already starting lessons although his parents couldn't really afford it they wanted to do everything they could to make their son happy.
When Viktor turned 10 he was already entering competition after competition. Everyone had thought he would someday become big and that he did he grew up to be the most successful figure skater.
When he was 17 he had met this boy named Nikoláy at one of his competitions he was in the crowd rooting him on and luck was on his side because beside Nikoláy was Viktor's mom and she offered to introduce them to each other. When they had met they instantly hit it off with each other.
Everyday they would hang out with each other they were like two peas in a pod. Suddenly one day Nikoláy had kissed Viktor and he had kissed him back and they started dating not to long after that. Viktor was scared to see how his parents would react to him coming out to them he had only had came out to Nikoláy after a couple months of being friends
(Authors note to be continued i hope yall like this part!!! This is my take on what Ice adolescence could have been :,) )
This is so funny bfoibfoaib 'They'll be so surprised, hah!' We regret to inform you they're too busy being gay and gazing lovingly into each other's eyes to pay attention to how cool and epic you are. Our condolences. He just wanted to impress them 🥲
Yuuri's ambition and determination? The best thing ever.
He's so strong. Anyone reaching his level would have to be.
We meet Yuuri at his lowest point in the series: grieving. And he was spiraling from there, and still grieving. We meet him when he's experiencing a crisis, not his normal baseline.
I feel like that initial image makes it easy to characterize him as being saved by Viktor, but this would be wrong.
Viktor didn't save Yuuri. He didn't save Yuuri from his anxiety, Yuuri had working coping mechanisms. We see him going to skate and reconnect to his motivation with the help of a friend. He didn't save Yuuri from retiring, Yuuri's mindset is "I want to skate on the same ice as him" before Viktor reaches Hasetsu.
Viktor supported his growth, and Yuuri showed him how. Viktor didn't make him better.
Ice adolescence being cancelled is like the ultimate betrayal by mappa. Mappa's first BIG big hit, its magnum opus, was never jjk or csm or aot. It was Yuri on Ice. It's time they remember their roots, for those roots are gay.
these kissing animations are so damn good. that lip biting (he did bite his lip, I literally took a look inside his head at his teeth lmao) also, Hans' eyes look teary afsdfhghfg
and yes, Henry was shoveling dirt with his damn nose in this save. now I'm playing with trough washing deluxe mod...
