Hi!! I'm so sorry to bug you with this, but I saw your answer to that one question about Russian nicknames and I was wondering if I could ask for some help rq. I've been trying to find affectionate terms (e.g. baby, love, honey, darling, etc.) in Russian for YOI fanfiction purposes and was wondering if you could list a few ones to call a male lover? It seems I can only find ones in the feminine form. Thanku!

Hello! IM SO SORRY FOR RESPONDING SO LATE i hope even if im slow af you will able to use nicknames i wrote about….

since russian is pretty much a big and rich language, we have a lot of ways to express our love and intimacy through nicknames to loved ones! not only name based nicknames, but those affectionate terms as well

actually, we do use literal translations of ‘baby’ and ‘darling’ referring to loved ones

  • baby can be translated as малыш (malish) or детка (detka), or пупсик (pupsik) (pupsik sounds very ridiculous tbh but i think victor would use this one) and can be referred to both male, female and nonbinary folks, despide the fact малыш and пупсик are grammatically male gendered words, and детка - grammatically female gendered.
  • with darling\dear its different, its very gendered term, so you have to use дорогой (dorogoi) to male lover, дорогая (dorogaya) to a female, and дорогие (dorogie) to someone who uses they\them pronounce (but they\them pronounce as singular pronounce is very complicated topic in russian, it really is, so i will talk mostly about she\he, alright?)  
  • there is another word from дорогой  - дорогуша (dorogusha), grammatically female gendered, but can used towards anyone, usually in less tender, but  teasing way
  • i think darling\dear in meaning as affectionate nickname can be translated as милый (miliy) as well. милый literally translates as ‘cute’ and ‘nice’, but when russian uses it to exactly refer to someone they love its usually can be translated as ‘darling’ in english
    милый (miliy) is for males and милая (milaya) is for females. (they\them is милые (miliye))
  • talking about affectionate adjectives, we also use ‘loved’, like’ loved by me’, and its любимый (lyubimiy) for males, любимая( lyubimaya) for females, любимые (lyubimiye) for they\them
  • сладкий (sladkiy) is also common affectionate nickname, analogue of it in english is sweetie i believe, since сладкий  translates as 'sweet’. female form is сладкая (sladkaya), сладкие (sladkiye) for they\them  
  • we also have similar nicknames to 'sunshine’ for instance, but we dont literally call people 'sunshine’, but just 'sun’ - солнце (solntse), or with diminutive suffix to sound even cuter - солнышко (solnishko)

NOW LETS MOVE ON TO OUR ORIGINAL RUSSIANS NICKNAMES

we actually use shit tons of different nicknames. especially the most favorite by russians are animals, like every russian couple is a fucking mini zoo: we call our loved ones зая (zaya)\заяц(zayats)\зайчонок(zaychonok) - different forms of ’bunny’ ; котя(kotya)\котик(kotik)\котенька(koten'ka)\киса(kisa) - kitty; медвежонок (medvezhonok) - diminutive form of ’bear’ ; рыбка (ribka) - diminutive for ’fish’… and more, but зая is like the ultimate affectionate term and a lot of russians actually hate it, despite it being so popular lmao

in victor and yuuri’s case victor probably would call yuuri порося (porosya), поросенок (porosyonok),поросеночек (porosyonochek). all of these words are different variations of ’piggy\little piggy\piglet’. we also usually call порося those people who are very messy, but its in very tender way

i imagine when yuuri eats katsudon and some pieces of rice are on his cheeks, victors gently wipes them away, calling yuuri not less gentler ’порося моя’ (porosya moya - 'my piglet’).

image

ALSO I BET VICTOR WOULD ALSO CALL YUURI ФУНТИК (FUNTIK). Funtik is a character from old popular soviet cartoon Adventures of Piglet Funtik AND ITS CUTE

besides animals we can call people dear to us as:

  • золотце (zolotse) - 'someone gold’ or you can translate it as 'goldie’. a very common term in russian
  • голубка (golubka) - woopsie its an animal as well, i mean, a bird - a very sweet version of 'pigeon’
  • крошка (kroshka) - could be literally translated as 'crumb’ or 'little one’
  • куксик\кукуся\ кукуся (kuksik\kukusik\kukusya) - i honesty didnt know what exactly this word meaned till i googled it right now: 'as original term kukusik is someone very young, infantile and naive, who dont have much life experience and etc’, but this word lost this meaning and is usually used as affectionate term to loved one

i bet victor would call yuuri котлетка (kotletka), diminutive form of 'cutlet’

or щекастик (shekastik)! means 'someone with cute cheeks’ and this one isnt very common, but it sounds very cute and if you hc chubby yuuri, this nickname would fit him a lot!!  

image

other examples:

  • душа моя (dusha moya) - 'my soul’
  • свет моих очей (svet moih ochey) - 'the light of my eyes’. a pretty old one, im not sure someone uses it on daily basis, usually characters in old russian literature would referred like that. but is sounds very romantic and i personally love it
  • любовь моя (lyubov moya) - 'my love’
  • мой хороший \ хороший мой (moi horoshiy\horoshiy moi) for males; моя хорошая\хорошая моя (moya horoshaya\horoshya moya) for females - translates as 'my good’, meaning 'my dear’ or smth 
  • радость моя (radost’ moya) - 'my joy’

you noticed constant moi or moya in last ones? thats right, russian affectionate terms are very often accompanied with word 'my’ (мой\моя (moi\moya)), and sometimes some nicknames arent usually used separated from it!

russians usually use my + nickname combination to sound more intimate and show closeness to called person, which well is pretty obvious, i know, but we really do use it a lot

some of previous examples sounds even better and are more used with 'my’

мой (moi) is for grammatically male gendered words, моя (moya) for grammatically female gendered words and моё (moyo) - grammatically neutral gendered words tho

  • рыба моя (riba moya) - 'my fish’. yes we call people like that and its cute in our understanding
  • зая моя (zaya moya) - 'my bunny’
  • золотце моё (zolotse moye) - 'my goldie’
  • милый мой (miliy moi) for males; милая моя (milaya moya) for females - 'my dear’
  • сладкий мой (sladkiy moi) for males; сладкая моя (sladkaya moya) for females  - 'my sweet\my sweetie’

and yeah, we usually write 'my’ after the affectionate term. its grammatically correct in this case and sounds better.

actually in russian you can use like every cute sounding word as affectionate nickname?? even english ’pumpkin’ sounds very cute in russian - тыковка (tikovka) , and i would love if someone called me like that, despite the fact its not common term

ive read some fic where vitya called yuuri:
ангел мой\ангелочек мой (angel moi\angelochek moi) - 'my angel’
звезда моя\звездочка моя (zvezda\zvezdocka moya) - 'my star’
which you can use as well!! the number of possibilities is unbelievable

woopsie this one got very big as well… hope it was informative and still understanding!!

Victuuri’s suitcases and bedrooms(or beds)

honooblze

First of all, you have to pay 1000000000000% attention in order to notice these details. I know some people have already talked about it but I really want to write my first long post for YOI<3
*spoiler alert*
*long post*
*sorry for Chinese sub*(wont affect your reading)
*sorry for bad grammar/poor English*

First thing first, I would like to talk about suitcase. Suitcase can somehow reflect one’s style and personality. In my opinion, suitcase is quite a personal thing. Now let’s check out victuuri’s suitcases.

Ever since episode1, Yuuri is using two suitcases. One is white, the other one is orange (red?). You may also see Victor’s suitcase. It is blue and brown in colour; I must say it is quite classy and suits his style.

image
image

FYI here are more classy af suitcases which are belonged to sugar Victor daddy.

image

Here comes my main point, remember in episode 9, Yuuri asked Victor to return to Japan for sick Makkachin? It is quite an emergency but check out Victor’s suitcase…

image

YUURI’S ORANGE SUITCASE BITCHES!!!!!!

Yuuri let Victor use his suitcase!!!!! Even mama told us don’t help anyone with luggage problems!!!dont use others suitcase (unless you trust that person). This introvert af piggy let Victor use his suitcase!!!!!MAMAMIA HALLELUJAH! You can tell Yuuri and Victor trust each other ever since the “beach talk” and suitcases are the evidence.

Now it is bedroom(or bed) issue.

Same as suitcase, bedroom or bed is personal. In the case of YOI, Yuuri was never an extrovert. You can tell he has been hiding his true heart (thoughts) from others, no matter his closest friends or family.  His friends and family know where he goes, where they can find him but they never know how he truly feels deep in his heart. (Episode ½/3, when Victor tried to find Yuuri, Yuuri’s family and friends said he was skating)

Since episode one, Yuuri was shocked because he never imagine Victor will be his coach. He was happy Victor became his coach but at the same time he was not ready for a person to know his “true feelings” (or stepping into his little circle).

He rejected Victor from sleeping with him or stepping inside his own room. Now remember, room is personal. Yuuri was so protective of himself.

image

But this situation does not last long thanks to our smooth af criminal Victor. This smart ass started with using Makkachin.

image

If you want to win a boy’s heart, you better get a puppy. He doesnt allow Victor sleeping with him but he let his dog sleep on his bed and by his side!!!! Then some casual touches between them, like letting Yuuri poke his head or holding his shoulder. When they had “the talk” by the beach, this is the moment Yuuri realized he needed his true heart in order to exchange Victor’s.

You can see Yuuri starts letting Victor stepping into his personal space and being so comfortable with him ever since their “talk”.

First he let Victor take off his clothes and sleep with him. He doesn’t care if he is naked or Victor is sleeping on him. All he care about is the god dang alarm which means Yuuri finally being comfortable with someone who want to have intimate relationship with him. (Hey remember Yuuri talked about the girl who tried to hug him? He rejected her hug but he accepts victor’s touches)

image
image

What next? Their beds are sticking together!!!!!!!!!!!

image

But why not one king/queen size bed? Hey they are gonna have competition. Their hotel rooms are definitely booked by GPF. They cant choose but they can find ways to fulfill their “one bed dream”.

What I am trying to say is throughout YOI, Yuuri did change a lot as a protagonist. In victuuri’s relationship is not only victor trying his best to maintain. Yuuri changes so much for Victor, like Victor said Yuuri never fail to surprise him<3

billica-riverdine

I’m with youu!! Too bad they didn’t show Yuuri’s suitcase in the airport on ep 9, that would add the justification on the suitcase case

Anonymous asked:

SPOILERS (probably) I'm not sure if it's official art, but there's a picture of Yuuri in a costume that looks similar to Victor's costume for the Stay Close to Me and Never Leave Me program. So if it's the real deal, it's highly probable that there will be pair skating (at the Gala or private or whatever) *fangirls*

yoimeta answered:

Hello! Yes, there were several costumes showcased at the Chacott tea event some time ago, you can check some of them out here!

But I suppose this is the one catching everyone’s attention:

thanks to @leoji-on-ice​ for the photos!

The third one from the left matches Viktor’s Stammi Vicino/Stay Close to Me/Aria outfit. Uncanny. ;-)
