I’m probably incredibly late to the party but…
We all know that Yuri decided to name his Free skate music ‘Yuri on Ice’. I thought it was a pretty fitting, albeit a little basic of a title. So why am I only realising now just how GENIUS the title actually is? It’s a massive pun.
Disclaimer: I’m not a Japanese speaker whatsoever. However, I did a bit of research, and it turns out that ‘on ice’ in Japanese translates to ‘on aisu’. ‘Love’ in Japanese translates to ‘ai’.
So when Yuuri said ‘we call everything on the ice, love’ HE REALLY MEANT IT. You literally cannot say the word ice in Japanese without saying the word love.
I mean if anyone had any doubts that Yuuri’s Free Skate music was a love song, here is your proof. It’s just crazy how after all these years this anime still never ceases to surprise me.

Top 5....Lams fics you’ve read!
Hey anon, thanks for the ask! <3 I’ve been thinking about this all day, bc it’s so hard to pick just 5 fics from my numerous bookmarks and subscriptions! (...this may be a long post xD)
That said, these are (in no particular order) the top 5 Lams fics I’ve read:
Ocular by iniquiticity (Historical Lams). If you’ve been reading Lams fic, you’ll probably have come across this masterpiece. The imagery is just, god, so beautiful ✨
I give my body, that I be burned by Cupola (Historical Lams). The dialogue, the 18th century language, the smut—as von Steuben would say, goddamn! 🔥
A Soldiers’ Chorus by Blue_Clover ( @fightinglaffy ) (Historical Lams) A ghost AU that first shattered my heart into pieces and then skillfully stuck it back together again 💔
His Voice by Sunnyrea (Historical Lams; notice a theme yet? xD) The absolute sweetest little fic, where Hamilton reads to Laurens. I adore it ❣️
And still, I am grateful by spots_of_violet (Historical Lams). This one is still a wip, but it’s a gorgeous Laurens lives AU, and I continually reread what’s been posted so far! 👀
And, a bonus (I know it’s 5 but I’m breaking that law lmao) fic I’m most looking forward to reading! University work has spoiled my fic reading time lately, but:
Suite Madame Blue by peblezQ ( @peblezq ) a Laurens Lives AU, is staring tantalizingly at me from my bookmarks. Considering how much I love their other Lams fics (and some are modern AUs, if you’re interested) I’m excited to read it!
glad that im not popular enough to have an evil shadow version of my blog that exists just to make contradictions on my posts

I've seen a lot of discourse in recent weeks about how evan hansen is actually a monster, so here's my take:
his initial motivators are guilt (feeling responsible for tipping connor over the edge), embarrassment (over having to admit that he name-dropped his crush in his letter), and bad advice (from jared).
at first, he just wants to console the murphys in their grief, and lets them believe he was friends with connor to comfort them.
however, disappear acts as a turning point in the story, when evan's motives become murky. he decides he likes the attention he's been receiving as a result of his "friendship" with connor, and the song openly states that the project is founded on evan's unwillingness to fade back into obscurity.
upon closer analysis this song becomes rather sinister when you realise that when evan sings "no one deserves to be forgotten", he's not singing about connor, but about himself. (incidentally, I think that's largely the reason the song was cut for the movie, in a vain attempt to paint evan more positively.)
after that, the focus shifts much more to evan and his actions in the charity fraud fundraising campaign, and connor, ironically, fades into the background until evan eventually gets cold feet.
hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!
