WAIT GUYS

Pork cutlet bowl that enthralls men

now yall know what time it is

His theme for this season is love. 

I’m sure there’s a bunch of Yuri on Ice x ballroom AUs out there but here’s another hahaha. I’ve been wondering about it since the two of them danced together at that afterparty, so it was a lot of fun to sketch them out ;D

A bit afraid to continue it any further though because while I EXTREMELY love any form of dance, I don’t know a whole lot about dancesport (just researching it for an evening got me dizzy lol). I just don’t want to draw it wrong, considering how important posture/line/expression/etc is. 

But anyways! Bottom two pics are some sketch/character info. I like to think Yuuri focused mostly on standard, but is secretly quite good at latin (revealed in a drunken moment perhaps heh). And Victor has had his vain streak bumped up a notch, but is no less skilled. I was on the fence about him being injured but I felt it might humanize him a bit more to have him be in the middle of some sort of personal hardship. Ahhh still in yoi withdrawal oh well…

*EDIT* I forgot to mention I totally drew this while thinking about Inoue Satou’s 10 Dance manga! If you haven’t read that (it IS bl though), please go read it. It is amazing!

IM GONNA GO RABBID

I'M GONNA BITE SOMEONE

AAAAAAAAAAAHGHHHHHH

art ask meme II it was supposed to be Yuuri at a fair but finally, I have drawn victuuri -w- (I am weak x’))

no more lover girl and hater boy or hater girl and lover boy

hater boy and hater boy for the win

I’m honestly debating it, I love Yuri on ice too much but I’m not complaining about another ice skating anime

Yuri On Ice AND figure skating nerds might appreciate that this weekend, the NHK Trophy is taking place in Yoyogi Stadium, which is the location where Viktor won his 5th consecutive World Championship

The real stadium vs. the anime version:

... and from above - a sight we don't get to see in the anime.

The venue from the inside real vs. anime:

If you look closely, you can even spot the two big ventillation tubes on the left right below the curved ceiling.

It's not that uncommon that a figure skating event takes place in one of the venues from YOI because there are only so many suitable venues for figure skating competitions available. In 2021, the Rostelecom Cup was held in Iceberg Skating Palace in Sochi where the Grand Prix Final of tears happened. The Beijing Olympics in 2022 and the 2023 Grand Prix Final were held in Capital Indoor Stadium where Yuuri and Viktor kissed for the first time. And the 2022 Skate Canada was held in Mississauga, just like the Skate Canada in YOI-- and those are only the competitions since I've started following the sport.

By the way: the 2021 NHK Trophy was held in Yoyogi Stadium as well.

However, every time a real figure skating event takes place in some of these places, it feels magical. As if the world of YOI and the real world connect and the universe feels a bit more complete.
