Blue Flowers

Some old yuri on ice art based on the official art :)

Imagine if Ice Adolescence came out just in time for the Olympics...

I know it's the Summer Olympics, but still

It would've been just as hype as when Blue Lock aired while the World Cup was happening.

Like, the movie was obviously gonna be set during the Olympics

Yuuri's even wearing the team Japan jersey from the 2022 Winter Olympics

this is what they took from us 😞

Found this beautiful thing by @kiaronna called The Power Of Love, go check it out if you love long hair and miscommunication (really, it was almost physically hurt to read, but i loved it anyway)

Victor is very supportive and loves his wife 🫶

Yuri!!! on Ice (ユーリ!!! on ICE)

Great poster of the main trio, Yuri Plisetsky, Yuri Katsuki, Victor Nikiforov–with Yurio trying to steal the show! 📸  New art work from Otomedia Magazine (Amazon US | eBay), with a sketch by character designer Tadashi Hiramitsu (平松禎史) and a finished illustration by animation director Ayumi Yamada (山田歩).

Something I love most about Victor is just how shameless he is about loving Yuuri.

Throughout the entire series, Victor is depicted showing his affection for Yuuri very publicly.

A few examples of this being...

When Victor hugged Yuuri from behind in front of the entire audience at the CSK championship.

When Victor got completely drunk and started hanging off of Yuuri in front of everyone before the Cup of China, and had absolutely no complaints about the picture Phichit posted of them.

When Victor wrapped his arms around Yuuri's waist while resting his head on his shoulder in front of the other skaters at the Cup of China

When Victor kissed him in front of thousands of people on live television at the Cup of China.

When Victor publicly announced their engagement the rest of the gpf skaters + the others around them who were also there to witness it in Barcelona.

Must I go on?

Moral of the story is, he's so proud of being able to love Yuuri that he doesn't even care about his title as the 'living legend of figure skating' who went off to coach some 'dime a dozen' Japanese figure skater. He doesn't let the possibility of backlash affect the way he shows his partner his love, and he doesn't care about what anyone else has to say about their relationship but the two of them, and I think that's such an amazingly healthy aspect about their relationship that just isn't talked about enough.

It says so much about Victor as a character. It shows that Yuuri is so much more than just his student, fellow competitor, or fan. He sees Yuuri as his equal, and as someone worthy of showing off and taking care of. He loves Yuuri enough to put him above his title, and to sacrifice his competitive skating career for him. He refers to Yuuri as his life and his love, and was absolutely devastated at the idea of Yuuri not needing him as his coach anymore.

He loves Yuuri more than words, and everyday I grow even more upset that we never got to see more of them.

“Victor Nikiforov’s exhibition piece this year is an original composition entitled, Look, Babe, I Didn’t Mean To Leave The Dishes In The Sink, It Won’t Happen Again, Promise. He choreographed it himself.”

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.

You know what actually I think every ship should be drawn like this, let this be the new Draw Your OTP meme.
