I just read that when you think of someone too often, all the time, then there’s a very high possibility you’ll meet him in real .. okay .. I’ve been thinking of Shinhwa day & night for 14 years .. why I still haven’t met them for real if this rule is true?!!!!!!!
Already picturing the scene Hyesung found at Eric’s house! LOLOL Everyone, Shinhwa longevity is all due to the underwear-drinking parties muahahaha (trans © lilshinhwafreak & malpabo)
Beginner’s guide: Min Kyunghoon
After my kid @ihavethedeanfluenza asked who is Min Kyunghoon for real I decided to make a guide about him, with full of important information. Long post ahead, but it will be hilarious I promise:

I’M STILL NOT OVER THIS.
THE AMOUNT OF LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR THIS MAN… I CRIED.
BONUS:
Fellow YOI fans and Viktuuri shippers (isn’t it really one and the same?), please do not be alarmed by the final scene of episode 11.
Be calm!
Looking back at the awesome episode we have just been given, this scene is actually kind of inevitable.
I imagine Yuuri is not ending his relationship with Viktor, only an aspect of it. The coach-student part more specifically.
The hints that this was coming were sprinkled throughout the ep.
When Yuuri attempts the quad flip, Viktor’s signature move, Viktor very cutely lives vicariously through his fiance and does the jump in place from the sidelines alongside him.
When Yurio does his performance, Yakov sees a young Viktor in his place skating beautifully.
When Viktor sneaks off from Yuuri and the reporters to watch Yurio perform, his expression is complicated. And as Yuuri approaches him, he actually cuts himself off when he looks at Viktor’s expression. And he is shocked by what he sees. In my opinion, there’s something melancholic of what we can see of Viktor’s face.
When Yurio scores his very best, they make sure to tell us that he’s surpassed Viktor’s highest score.
When Chris skates, the announcer brings in the fact that he’s always skated alongside Viktor. Now, after seeing Viktor’s earlier expression, Yuuri has got his eye on him in these moments.
Viktor’s face is a little fond, a little nostalgic maybe, and Yuuri’s got his eye on his expressions.
Then we have a little insight into what Yuuri’s making of all of this.
The thought isn’t complete but I think with the tone of the episode, it’s clear that Yuuri’s read from Viktor’s behaviour that he misses skating. That he misses the ice, and skating, and competing, and the competitors he knows. I personally feel that yes Viktor will probably always want to skate, but he’s more melancholic about the whole thing. A bit of ‘oh there goes my world record, times are changing and I’m no longer part of the competitive skating world as I was before’, with a side of ‘oh my good pal Chris, he’s not got long either, how nice to see him give his all’.
I feel like Yuuri will try to end their coaching relationship to try and ‘set Viktor free’, to return him to the ice where he thinks Viktor wants to be.
I have faith that the next episode will sort this out. If Viktor lets Yuuri have his way, then I imagine it will be a way for the YOI creators to rack up the tension and torture us for a resolving end to everything. Though I would like it if Viktor told Yuuri straight up ‘no, we’re not ending anything!’
Please have faith in Kubo-sensei and this wonderful show, and in Yuuri! He’s not ending his relationship, not after everything that’s happened, not a chance.
I honestly don't mind Victor returning on Ice as a competitor once again, hell i want it to happen! But i guess the scene of how this will happen and the timing is totally different from what happened, it got me off guard (specially the fluff ep.10) and now my heart is kinda broken (ok i'm actually really devastated) and add that with what happened with JJ... damn, i just wanna lie in my bed and cry.
everyone last week
everyone this week
Too much for my heart sensei~ i can't work right now!
“I want a Team Brian podium, and with how fast Nam’s improving, I don’t think it’s impossible.”
That party was wild. I loved every single crazy shot (Yuuri pole dancing with Chris??), but the Viktuuri dance-off took the cake.
No wonder Viktor knew Yuuri had eros in him. Look at this suave, seductive mofo. That titanic pose (flexible skater version). Yuuri’s hands on Viktor in the last shot, and their smiling faces. Smitten. Right from the get go.
So i just realized, all of Victor’s photos during the banquet are all pics of Yuuri~!! It’s love at first sight. I swear, i can’t even!
The Grand Prix Final is here in Barcelona, Spain!
Game On, On side note, RL GPF is tonight too, so go Yuzu~!!!
Yuuri in Episode 8: There's no one I'm friendly here with...
Yuuri in Episode 9: *literally hugs Yakov, Sala, and everyone he's competing with except an escaped Yurio*
I CAN'T EVEN~!!!! NIKIFOROV FAMILY REUNION! HUHU I CREY WITH JOY
The birth of the hugging monster

Okay so, concerning my predicted ‘Stay Close to Me’ Viktuuri ending post, I’ve heard some…negative words.
That is, an Anon has challenged me. I’ll admit those kinds of flame asks I’d normally ignore, I don’t want to put unnecessary drama on people’s dash, and I happily deleted it. But afterwards, I thought I’d better address this, not for the Anon’s sake, but for the sake of sharing more info!
I was basically challenged to prove that Viktor and Yuuri would reach a point at the end of the series where they’d want to be together romantically. Sounds obvious, no? The entire show is a testimony of how their relationship grows; every single episode displays more and more of their love.
But the Anon insisted that nothing could be said about current episodes, considering what’s to occur about my theory post will potentially be in the last episode. ‘Actual proof only, no speculation!’ So basically, I was asked to give physical proof that Yuuri and Viktor care enough about each other only in the potential final episode, when that episode in question hasn’t been released yet…
Okay.
Challenge Accepted.
Let me take this in a different direction for a bit and talk about skate guards. They’re the covers that fit over the skate blades. When they’re off the ice, skaters always have these on, for safety and to avoid damaging their blades.
The ones I’ve seen in Yuri!! On Ice so far have been dual-coloured. For example, Minami’s are yellow and brown, Yurio’s are purple and black.
And Yuuri’s are red and white.
What else is red and white?
Why the Japanese flag! It’s no coincidence that Yuuri’s skate guards are his country’s colour.
Now moving on to the actual skating shoes. I think almost all the skaters we’ve seen have standard silver coloured blades. All except for Viktor. His ice skating shoes have slightly golden blades.
In the opening credits, this is highlighted by having his blades painted in a hard yellow colour.
But if you’ll observe this screenshot of his blades next to Yuuri’s, you can see the difference in colour.
What you can also see here is that although Viktor’s skates look sleek, full-coloured and polished, Yuuri’s look scuffed, well-worn and faded. It says a lot about them as people certainly, but also financially (we’ve seen that Viktor is used to flying first class). Viktor definitely practices as much as Yuuri, but if his skates get old, he’ll probably buy newer, better ones. Simply because he can afford to, but also as it fits with his personality, a relaxed ‘why not get new ones?’. Also, I imagine Viktor would care for his skates’ outward appearance.
This shot above of Yuuri’s (and Viktor’s) skates is from episode 2.
But here in episode 5, many months later when he does his free skate in the ‘Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu Championship’, he’s still got his scuffed little skates. Yuuri hasn’t thought to get a new pair. He’s probably the kind of person who’d think ‘if it’s not broken don’t fix it’. I imagine he also cares less about how the shoes look, compared to Viktor who is quite immaculate with his outward persona (dat suit).
Now as I’ve spoken of in my other post, I predict Viktor skating ‘Stay Close to Me’ for Yuuri in the final episode to express his feelings, and a stronger Yuuri joining in, the song becoming a duet, a confession and acceptance.
I’ve drawn evidence from the opening scene of the first ep of YOI where Viktor skates in what we’ve all but confirmed to be Onsen on Ice.
A trailer (or PV) will show snippets of scenes that occur within a series to be released. You don’t know where that scene will belong (beginning, middle, end?) until you’ve watched the actual episodes. But it’s highly unlikely that animators will create a scene for a trailer that won’t be shown in the actual series. We’ve already seen most parts of the Yuri!! On Ice trailer within the actual series so far.
But some parts that we haven’t seen yet are scenes that look remarkably similar to the opening sequence of episode 1, where I imagine Viktor skates in the intimate skating ring for Yuuri.
It seems that those parts of the trailer will belong to that scenario. The clothes Viktor wears, the skating routine, the location and lighting; it’s all the same.
So I invite you to look at this section of the trailer:
The location– as can be judged by the window– is Onsen on Ice, and the lighting looks similar to the intimate skating scenario earlier described.
I feel like this scene would be the ‘right-before’ we get the ‘Stay Close to Me’ skate. Yuuri’s jacket is still on (so he’d take that off), and he’s eagerly lacing up his skates, looking towards something (someone) in the rink with a very pleased expression. It certainly looks like the direct lead-up to what I believe will be the ‘Stay Close to Me’ duet.
But I want to focus here on Yuuri’s skates.
By the look of them, they are still the scuffed ones he’s been wearing for who knows how long. He hasn’t changed them. But he has changed one thing, and that is the skate guards.
Instead of his white and red ones for Japan, they’re now blue and red. If you look at the other shots further up of him tying his laces, it’s a very clear and obvious change. Yuuri who hasn’t bothered getting new skates, went out of his way to get new guards?
And they’re red and blue…with his silver blades, that’s like red, blue and silver. What do these colours remind you of?
The Russian flag no?
In the opening, as Viktor skates and jumps, it passes very briefly, but we’re shown the Russian flag on the back of his skates. So Viktor is also one who ‘wears’ his country (though not explicitly so far). Animators don’t add minute details for no reason.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that by this point (the end of the series going by the snippet in the trailer) Yuuri is wearing a bit of Viktor. If we can take this scene to belong to that final episode, though it hasn’t been released yet, then we can see evidence, physical evidence, of Yuuri going out of his way to be more a part of Viktor.
It’s one thing to wear someone’s costume when you were in need of one anyways. It’s another thing entirely to wear their country. Yet another thing to replace a piece of yours with a piece of theirs.
