am trying to estimate when Victor cut his hair short, which, hair ordinarily grows at about a centimeter a month, so it has to have been at least a year after the 2006 Olympics? I think? but he might sometimes have cut it shorter but not by so much anyone can say he doesn't still have long hair, which could push the date later?
(trying to work out if he might have done that between Junior Worlds when he was sixteen and the Olympics when he was seventeen, which would be going better if I bothered to open my laptop to look for shots of him at Junior Worlds where he isn't throwing his head back like this, since that's screwing up my estimate of how long his hair is at the time, and this appears to be the Only tumblr gif that shows him then)
also at the Olympics he doesn't look like he's got the build he has during most of canon, not quite yet, and the bit of the opening sequence of ep 1 where he goes from long- to short-haired seems to imply he got those upper body muscles before he cut his hair short, though that doesn't help me at all
I badly wanna see Ice Adolescence, young Victor 😭
