I didn’t even have the confidence to talk to Victor 😂 one of the best twists in anime history! I love how Victor just keeps getting closer and closer 😂❤️

some ice skating sons <3

Viktor is the one who narrates episode 10, the one who tells the story of the Sochi GPF banquet. Viktor is the one who tells us how much champagne Yuuri drank and how miserable he looked while he was there, long before Yuuri ever approached Viktor.

Viktor was paying attention to Yuuri. Long before the tie came off and the stripper pole got involved, Viktor was watching him.

Maybe it was because of how Yuuri rejected his offer for a photo. Maybe it was because he thought Yuuri was cute. Maybe he was also miserable and didn’t want to be there and appreciated that there was someone there who looked just as exhausted as he felt.

But Viktor was the one paying attention to Yuuri.

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.

Scoring, Music, and Programs

So people new to figure skating through the YoI fandom may not be aware, but the scoring system used in the show is actually relatively new, having only been around a decade (and oh man watching the shitstorm that lead to the change was fascinating). A part of me thinks that the old ways really stands out among the oldest skaters - Victor, Chris, Georgi and to a lesser extent Yuuri, because they’re the last of the generation that would have had to adapt roughly during their transition from Junior to Senior. Yuuri is probably a BIT too young, since it changed in 2005, but he’d have seen its effect. 

Before the scoring change figure skating was, IMHO SUPER conservative, because it wasn’t a system of so many points for this, and so much for that. It was much more subjective and relied on the judge’s opinion of the program more. Yeah, the skaters would be docked for a fall, or if a landing wasn’t clean. But there would be times that seemingly flawless programs would get lower scores just because the judges didn’t like it. 

Music choices were a huge factor in playing to the judges… like I remember in the ‘94 olympics one skater used the instrumental theme from Jurassic Park, and I thought that was pretty bold when compared to the overwhelming number of Beethoven and Mozart pieces. 

Back to why I think it affects the oldest YoI skaters though… look at when they play with their music. They make bolder music choices in the short program: Intoxicated, Eros, Carabosse but fall back to more traditional/conservative in the free skate. (I do think Tale of a Sleeping Prince is a more conservative piece than Carabosse)

But look at the upcoming generation and their free skates - Minami does a boogie, Phichit chooses a movie piece that isn’t defined by western norms of music, Guang Hong’s Inferno, and Emil’s Anastasis all let them tell a story that nobody would have dared a decade ago because if the judge didn’t like the music it could affect scores. And since the Free Skate is worth more, that’s where the oldest skaters would have learned to play it cool and not rock the boat. 

It’s subtle, but I like that detail in how the age gap is presented in another way.
