Okay. OKAY! Yuri on ICE made fucking history and they actually met our expectations. HAND DOWN TO THE PAIR SKATING. I WORSHIP YOU KUBO-SENSEEIII
The whole episode itself was a roller coaster ride of emotions for me. The very beginning of the anime, I cried when Viktor cried. We all know that Yuuri’s actions were based on his perspective so we can’t blame him. It was also coming from a long trail of anxiety so joke’s on us. Yes. Yuuri did something incredibly selfish and we know where this is coming from.
He misinterpret Viktor’s actions as ‘I want to go back to the ice’ and that’s it. That’s where things keep going down for Yuuri. When your minds picks up something, it tends to grow bigger and bigger–for better or for worse. That’s over thinking and BAM! “Let’s end this” was born.
Viktor cried and he said he was angry. That is wet anger I am sensing. I cry out of anger when I care a little too much.
^ Viktor’s inspiration is Yuuri. No doubt there. If he goes back to ice and his new found reason of skating isn’t even there, what’s the fucking reason to even enter? He’s angry because the person who he invested for 8 months just suddenly trips a land mine and makes the other snap.
VIktor’s first love is Yuuri fucking Katsuki. Yuuri is retiring so Viktor can get back? BULLSHIT. Viktor ain’t getting any of that. Katsudon has to be there or else it was all for nothing.
I am pretty sure that Viktor can grab that gold medal without even trying.
Now going to the FS. I supported every single fucking one of them. It fills my heart with warmth to see that fictional characters are actually filled with their own quirks and personality.
You see JJ? He was pressured but he knows that ONE DOES NOT HALF-ASS A SKATING PROGRAM. He pushed through and amazingly, he got a place in the podium. Who won’t be amazed by this cringe-y bastard? (Lol. I cringe for him a lot. like A WHOLE LOT. Fuck this but even when I say this, I keep doing the JJ-style pose.)
How about Phichit? He’s living his dreams to the fullest. He wasn’t even caring about the ‘getting a medal’he was all ‘I WANT TO ENJOY THIS TO THE FULLEST’ He’s so pure. PROTECT HIM. Goddamn it. Him and his hamster fantasies.
Then Chris. LET ME TALK ABOUT CHRIS. He clicked his tongue when he saw that the media wasn’t even giving him the attention that he needs. His face tells, “Im skating here and you guys chose to focus on those dorks at the kiss and cry.” then fails one of his jumps but then THESE TO ENGAGED DORKS SHOUTED A ‘GOODLUCK’ over to CHRIS then he was all, “I’m so sorry I even scowled at you guys. You are wonderful”
Then OTABEK! God I need an Otabek in my life–I need all of these people in my life–He’s just so wonderful because you see him skating as though he’s on a journey. You can see that he’s full-on pushing his skating career. He’s taking a path of discovery and I think that’s really admiring.
After that, we get to see baby Plisetsky do his wonder. He’s a fairy no doubt. His performance was powerful and you can see that He’s pissed at Yuuri for thinking that this would be his final season. Well damn, look who set him in place. Baby Plisetsky went as far as to over take Yuuri’s chance just so he can enter again. He’s lowkey supportive because he sees Yuuri in a different light. He admires this guy. He said so himself. He wanted to see Yuuri do a program with no mistake then found out that Katsudon is such a sore loser. It’s really nice how baby Plisetsky makes every effort count.
FINALLY LET’S TAKE ABOUT KATSUDON NIKIFOROV. Yuuri tells Viktor to act like himself. I keep thinking during every episode that the ICE is the switch for Yuuri. When he’s OFF the ice, he becomes a shy mess and he becomes too vague with his words. But when he is ON ice, he speaks his mind.
That’s why when Yuuri told Viktor:
“You said that you want to be true to yourself, right?”
He saw through Viktor and told him what he thinks. Those words of encouragement from Viktor weren’t the words Yuuri wanted to hear and perhaps those were words that Viktor didn’t even want to say.
So when Viktor got busted for being fake to his feelings (again) Of course, he’d be surprised.
“I took a break after becoming the five-time world champion to coach you, so how is it possible that you still haven’t won a single gold medal?”
Viktor just practically told Yuuri,
“I’m not in the spotlight. I’m sure you can get that gold with me out of the way.”
Because I am hell sure that VIktor would just swipe that gold medal without even trying. So he tells Yuuri that he can do it because he has COMPLETE AND UTTER FAITH for this piggy. His words are always magic to Yuuri before skating. You prolly noticed that before the EROS routine, Yuuri would fucking pull some embarrasing shit to boost himself and before skating the YURI on ICE routine, Viktor would pull some strange suggestive shit as well. Come on. He touched Yuuri’s lips because they were ‘chapped’, he made him cry and made up by kissing him on international television. Okay except when he was ordered to go back to Japan because he can’t possibly deny his significant other But that was significantly sewed back with a hug from the airport. And NOW. He tells Yuuri to go and win this gold.
You can tell that Yuuri got the message across. Crystal clear.
But I have the need to point out.
Viktor is all “BABE YOU ARE MY GOLD <3″
While Yuuri is all, “ Is he going to kiss me? OH. OOOHHH. This is so embarrasing, I expected a kiss.”
ANYWAYS. The commentator said that Yuuri looks like he was about to cry. WELL SORRY TO BREAK TO YOU FAM BUT HE’S CRYING INSIDE.
Yuuri is aware that once this is done–once he gets the gold. Everything is done. No more Viktor. no more one-on-one sessions. No more everything. Kapish.
But that’s all in Yuuri’s head. He doesn’t even know that Viktor’s first love was this baby who dry humped him during that night in the banquet.
And so he skates. He tells in his mind who he is, what he knows, and the age to state how grand his achievements are. He’s amazing. He’s confident but he never had the guts to shout it to the world. He’s FUCKING AMAZING.He keeps telling everyone that he’s shy but his confidence level is over the top and I FUCKING LOVE HIM FOR THAT.
You see, skating requires, pain, skills, ability, motivation and inspiration, and confidence. Viktor is Yuuri’s drive to win and his goal is that frikin gold medal. He can’t skate that spectacularly if he didn’t have the confidence. He’s full of it and he knows where to release it. And that’s in the ice where it should be.
Yuuri does his routine perfectly and perfect Viktor’s signature move. It’s incredibly moving because Yuuri had perfected his FS! He perfected it and the best part was that he knows he skated his best!
He’s scared to meet Viktor. It’s going to end, his mindset says.
Little did he know that Yuri Plisetsky kept him in check by winning by a slight gap.
I can’t help but feel so much love and fall so hard for this anime because all of those relationships are the ones I have longed for. The interactions, the slight quirks of personalities, the subtle hints, the love–Oh God, I’m crying. Everything was perfect and the fact that they dropped a hint that they’ll be back is simply amazing.
And then that GALA? Don’t get me started because that’d be another hell long post. I’ve been replaying that scene for a lot of times now. A bit let down because the pair skate wasn’t completed but HECK It’s beautiful.
i don’t know about you but I don’t think I can find an anime that can move me to tears as much as this one.
Why do all of these great celebrities keep dying at like 50-60 while the world’s nastiest tangerine is 70, still alive, and about to become the motherfucking president.
snl was one of the first shows to give donald trump a platform to be funny and relatable and normalize his bs and now theyre doing skits on how horrible he is and how unbelievable it is that he got elected
