GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

i do have to say that some ppl in this fandom act a bit too entitled abt ice ado. mappa turned their replies off on the tweet w the new art, and obviously idk their reasoning, but in every tweet from them (or mizuno) abt yoi, the replied are nothing but “give us the movie” “where’s the movie” etc. we are still in a pandemic, with labor shortages everywhere. if they’re making a movie, they’ll show us eventually. and if not, we are not entitled to that movie. we are fans of their work and that will never mean we “deserve” anything from them.

you can’t tell me yuuri and victor aren’t married when the official yoi pr account says they adjusted their official art only to add victor’s ring

pure bromance. Sweet!

yeah, i pull my hot coach by his tie to whisper in his ear. no big deal.

theory time!

I, as many others, believe that we will have at least two main plot points in the movie: the past and the present. and in both we’ll get to see two different olympics – victor’s first, and yuuri’s first. and we will get to also see two different results: victor failing to win and yuuri actually winning.

now, the reason why I believe it will happen is 1) people want this and mappa&sayokubo have always been generous to us, 2) it’s about time yuuri finally wins, HE DESERVES IT ALRIGHT, 3) the contrast that will actually finally put the ‘yuuri can only be great bc victor made him’ rumours to eternal, damned rest.

but as much as I want to see yuuri win, and as much as I will love and adore when we all see victor win silver and yuuri win gold, proving he’s as good as we all know him to be, I also want to see another thing. I want to see victor recounting his desperate fight for gold, his heartbreak when he didn’t win it during those first olympics, and then I want to see him smile at yuuri and say:

“back then I thought winning was everything, but now I know better. and, just so you know, no matter how you place, you are still a talented skater, yuuri. and in my eyes, you will always be the winner.”

AND THAT. THAT IS MY MOST FERVENT WISH FOR ICE ADOLESCENCE. GOODNIGHT.

new YOI official art….and as always, the attention to detail for little figure skating references from MAPPA blows me away, and i need everyone to appreciate it too. welcome to yuuri katsuki’s 2022 beijing olympics!

to start, this is very clearly the official beijing rink; even without the logo or rings (which would have been too much of a hassle to use copyright-wise, i’m sure, but would also take away from the subtlety), it’s very clear from the colors and the mountain pattern, as seen here behind nathan chen:

next, victor is wearing the official team japan jacket, as seen here on team japan’s singles skaters yuma kagiyama (left, silver medalist in the men’s individual event) and shoma uno (right, bronze medalist):

…as far as i know, however, only skaters got team japan jackets, not their coaches. which means victor is wearing yuuri’s jacket. cuuuute.

next up, yurio’s practice outfit has to be based off of skater andrei mozalev of the russian olympic committee:

…so since yurio here is being based on mozalev, naturally, mappa chose to put yakov in the same coat that kirill davydenko, mozalev’s coach, wore at the boards!

i’m sure that otabek’s practice clothes and the mysterious ass-haver’s are a reference to something as well. since the tragic death of skater denis ten of kazakhstan, whom otabek is based on, there hasn’t been a strong enough kazakhstani men’s skater to make it to the olympics, but these are probably practice clothes denis ten wore once upon a time, or something!

finally, this last one isn’t a reference to the olympics in YOI–rather, the opposite! the makkachin tissue box seen next to victor was seen at the olympics, used by skater alexandra trusova of ROC!

so what is yuuri pointing at and looking so mad about? personally, i think he’s probably upset about the hole in the ice that made him pop a quad salchow…

but we may never know.

i can’t be the only one screaming cause they made yuuri actually straddling one of victor’s legs in the BD version of episode 12 right
