REMEMBER WHEN THESE DROPPED 😭😭😭

surprise it's yuri!!!in 2024

This post is directed to the crossover between TGCF fans and Yuri!!! on Ice fans:

Us never seeing Xie Lian properly swordfight anyone is the EXACT EQUIVALENT of us never seeing Viktor Nikiforov properly skate.

i drew an au while waiting to board a flight a couple of months ago where yurio is the coach victor is the rival and yuuri just wants victor to notice him and i kind of revived it on twitter because i was bored 

i know captions dont load for everyone so yurio in this au is 26, victor is 18, and yuuri is 17, victor held off from leaving juniors for a year because of an injury but now hes back and after yurios titles, yurio takes yuuri as a student because if he HAS to lose his records its not gonna be to victor fucking nikiforov he is THAT petty what an Icon

oh my god okayplease bear with me.. more reverse au.. click through for captions

part 1

The phone cases of the skaters in YoI most often reflect something they care about, as we see with Yuuri’s poodle case and Phichit’s hamster one.

Viktor’s phone case is his Stammi Vicino outfit.

Because that routine is so recent, we know his phone case is relatively new. And from the images of him at the Sochi banquet, we know his phone case at that point was bright yellow. This means that Viktor ordered a phone case that represented Stammi Vicino — a routine that was important enough that he wanted to carry around a piece of it with him everyday.

Stammi Vicino is about longing for that life and love Viktor hasn’t had. It’s about his own loneliness and his frustration with his situation. At what point do you think he ordered that phone case? When did he decide that he needed a memento from it even once he had moved on to a new season? He didn’t have enough time to get a new case after seeing the video of Yuuri, so it had to be a choice he made based on his own interpretation of the routine. We even see him watching Yuuri’s video on a phone already bearing the case.

I like to think he got it after the Sochi GPF. After he had a wild, champagne-coated night, and realized that there were more important things than medaling at competition after competition. Stammi Vicino may have been something he skated, but it was about his life outside of skating — a phone case that connects his career with his feelings about his future would be the perfect ever-present reminder to begin making a life outside of the ice rink.

Hello, I am back from the dead to bring you this extremely important image. Mans is not okay

What I can do, I can’t stop reading it lol. Chapter four killed me and by this scene I was nearly crying a river, poor Victor T w T). 98% of the painting with tones of yellow/orange/red, the only exception begin Victor’s Eye, I was trying to keep the soft+angst feeling from the scene.
