Yuri!!! On Ice ↳ characters + birthdays
I really enjoy the Detroit Fam headcanons! I would love to see what happens when Russian Fam meets Detroit fam. It'd be hilarious and fun and both Yakov and Celestino going "DEAR GOD WHY WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO LET THESE MONSTERS MEET BAD IDEA ABORT ABORT *FUCKING ABORT*" :D
!!!!!!! im cackling omg yes kk so, That Time Celestino And Phichit Visited Yuuri And The Russian Fam In Russia:
Viktor and Yuuri are useless like always but also weirdly productive ??
like???? every time someone looks over they’re draped over each other or giving each other heart eyes
but by the end of the day at least two things per program have gotten better how did they do this when did they do this?? no one knows
Celestino walks away with a headache. Yakov’s only spared because of exposure
Mila lifts both Phichit and Celestino before lunch. Celestino getting lifted happens because he told Phichit to stop asking Mila to lift him
Celestino yells one(1) time in italian. it was very enthusiastic praise for Phichit, but the Russian skaters do not know this. whispers of Celestino being a part of the italian mafia join the rest of the rumors by the end of lunch
Yakov is not used to skaters who actually listen and then go the extra mile
“katsuki, chulanont, i did not mean to literally do laps until your legs fell off why are you skating why did you actually listen to me my threats aren’t working like this get off the ice gdi sTOP SKATING LAPS-“
poor yakov’s too used to exaggerating, he’s gonna have a heart attack if they keep actually listening to him
(russian fam) “wow, who knew Yakov actually doesn’t want us listening to him? wild"
Yakov’s either gonna retire or kill them
Phichit and Georgi get into a passionate discussion over how The King and the Skater III is a high quality film that acknowledges its cheesiness and doesn’t deserve any of the criticism/flack it gets and this conversation lasts thru lunch and the next three weeks and subsequent tkats marathon
Yuri, Viktor, and Phichit cry over cute animal videos for 20 min
Celestino and Viktor get into an argument over who has the cuter dog
Viktor and Celestino: *shoves phone in face* look at my Makka/Mack playing with Yuuri, have you ever seen anything this cute?
Viktor and Celestino: *cry over yuuri’s happy smile in the photos*
Yuuri: *cuddles both dogs at the same time* all doggos are the goodest doggos, quality woofers
Celestino and Phichit do not visit Russia again
Hospitals and injury are always such a staple of angst fics, but 9 times out of 10 the author has clearly never been in an emergency situation and the scenes always come off as over-dramatized and completely unbelievable. So here’s a crash course on hospital life and emergencies for people who want authenticity. By someone who spends 85% of her time in a hospital.
Lights and sirens are usually reserved for the actively dying. Unless the person is receiving CPR, having a prolonged seizure or has an obstructed airway, the ambulance is not going to have lights and sirens blaring. I have, however, seen an ambulance throw their lights on just so they can get back to the station faster once. Fuckers made me late for work.
Defibrillators don’t do that. You know, that. People don’t go flying off the bed when they get shocked. But we do scream “CLEAR!!” before we shock the patient. Makes it fun.
A broken limb, surprisingly, is not a high priority for emergency personnel. Not unless said break is open and displaced enough that blood isn’t reaching a limb. And usually when it’s that bad, the person will have other injuries to go with it.
Visitors are not generally allowed to visit a patient who is unstable. Not even family. It’s far more likely that the family will be stuck outside settling in for a good long wait until they get the bad news or the marginally better news. Unless it’s a child. But if you’re writing dying children in your fics for the angst factor, I question you sir.
Unstable means ‘not quite actively dying, but getting there’. A broken limb, again, is not unstable. Someone who came off their motorbike at 40mph and threw themselves across the bitumen is.
CPR is rarely successful if someone needs it outside of hospital. And it is hard fucking work. Unless someone nearby is certified in advanced life support, someone who needs CPR is probably halfway down the golden tunnel moving towards the light.
Emergency personnel ask questions. A lot of questions. So many fucking questions. They don’t just take their next victim and rush off behind the big white doors into the unknown with just a vague ‘WHAT HAPPENED? SHE HIT HER HEAD?? DON’T WORRY SIR!!!’ They’re going to get the sir and ask him so many questions about what happened that he’s going to go cross eyed. And then he’s going to have to repeat it to the doctor. And then the ICU consultant. And the police probably.
In a trauma situation (aka multiple injuries (aka car accident, motorbike accident, falling off a cliff, falling off a horse, having a piano land on their head idfk you get the idea)) there are a lot of people involved. A lot. I can’t be fucked to go through them all, but there’s at least four doctors, the paramedics, five or six nurses, radiographers, surgeons, ICU consultants, students, and any other specialities that might be needed (midwives, neonatal transport, critical retrieval teams etc etc etc). There ain’t gonna be room to breathe almost when it comes to keeping someone alive.
Emergency departments are a life of their own so you should probably do a bit of research into what might happen to your character if they present there with some kind of illness or injury before you go ahead and scribble it down.
Nurses run them. No seriously. The patient will see the doctor for five minutes in their day. The nurse will do the rest. Unless the patient codes.
There is never a defibrillator just sitting nearby if a patient codes.
And we don’t defibrillate every single code.
If the code does need a defibrillator, they need CPR.
And ICU.
They shouldn’t be on a ward.
There are other people who work there too. Physiotherapists will always see patients who need rehab after breaking a limb. Usually legs, because they need to be shown how to use crutches properly.
Wards are separated depending on what the patient’s needs are. Hospitals aren’t separated into ICU, ER and Ward. It’s usually orthopaedic, cardiac, neuro, paediatric, maternity, neonatal ICU, gen surg, short stay surg, geriatric, palliative…figure out where your patient is gonna be. The care they get is different depending on where they are.
A patient is only in ICU if they’re at risk of active dying. I swear to god if I see one more broken limb going into ICU in a fic to rank up the angst factor I’m gonna shit. It doesn’t happen. Stop being lazy.
Tubed patients can be awake. True story. They can communicate too. Usually by writing, since having a dirty great tube down the windpipe tends to impede ones ability to talk.
The nursing care is 1:1 on an intubated patient. Awake or not, the nurse is not gonna leave that room. No, not even to give your stricken lover a chance to say goodbye in private. There is no privacy. Honestly, that nurse has probably seen it all before anyway.
ICU isn’t just reserved for intubated patients either. Major surgeries sometimes go here post-op to get intensive care before they’re stepped down. And by major I mean like, grandpa joe is getting his bladder removed because it’s full of cancer.
Palliative patients and patients who are terminal will not go to ICU. Not unless they became terminally ill after hitting ICU. Usually those ones are unexpected deaths. Someone suffering from a long, slow, gradually life draining illness will probably go to a general ward for end of life care. They don’t need the kind of intensive care an ICU provides because…well..they’re not going to get it??
No one gets rushed to theatre for a broken limb. Please stop. They can wait for several days before they get surgery on it.
Honestly? No one gets ‘rushed’ to theatre at all. Not unless they are, again, actively dying, and surgery is needed to stop them from actively dying.
Except emergency caesarians. Them babies will always get priority over old mate with the broken hip. A kid stuck in a birth canal and at risk of death by pelvis is a tad more urgent than a gall stone. And the midwives will run. I’ve never seen anyone run as fast as a midwife with a labouring woman on the bed heading to theatres for an emergency caesar.
Surgery doesn’t take as long as you think it does. Repairing a broken limb? Two hours, maybe three tops. Including time spent in recovery. Burst appendix? Half an hour on the table max, maybe an hour in recovery. Caesarian? Forty minutes or so. Major surgeries (organs like kidneys, liver and heart transplants, and major bowel surgeries) take longer.
You’re never going to see the theatre nurses. Ever. They’re like their own little community of fabled myth who get to come to work in their sweatpants and only deal with unconscious people. It’s the ward nurse who does the pick up and drop offs.
Anyway there’s probably way, way more that I’m forgetting to add but this is getting too long to keep writing shit. The moral of the story is do some research so you don’t look like an idiot when you’re writing your characters getting injured or having to be in hospital. It’s not Greys Anatomy in the real world and the angst isn’t going to be any more intense just because you’re writing shit like it is.
Peace up.
Keith: ...and this is Lance. We like each other, but sometimes we fight, but I promise we don't actually hate each other. It's complicated.
Krolia: Oh! So it's like the word your father told me about. I think it started with an 'L'?
