It's two AM and I just finished "Lonely Hearts." I feel such a connection to the boys because of my own life and from one writer to another- even though I write in a different genre entirely- you're amazingly inspirational. Thank you for your story.
Thank you so much! I really love writing in that series. I’m venturing back into it next as soon as I’m done editing the book on my desk and I can’t wait. This time, it’s the girls!
Good luck in your own work!
I don't know if you will read this but I adore your books.
oh hey, thanks! <3
All the bloggy stuff about Yuri on Ice so far, with links for your convenience and possible pleasure.
As I’ve said, the old blog where I was tumbling stuff before (and not well because tumblr is not my best social media game, but I’m trying to learn) is no longer being updated, and we’re doing stuff here. So follow this if you want to see stuff. That said, where I’ve been chattiest about Yuri so far is on my Wordpress blog, because that’s how old school I am. Here are links to everything I’ve said so far. I think it’s approaching 30k of babble, so you know, go get tea and a blanket.
My initial overview of the series and a recap of episodes 1 & 2.
Episode 3 recap & commentary.
Episode 4, which goes pretty deep into meta stuff.
Episodes 5 & 6, also has meta.
Episode 7, summary and meta but also goes deep into why this show means so goddamned much to the queer community.
Episode 8, summary, meta, etc.
Skating my way to mental safe spaces: talking about why I suddenly leapt into this fandom so hard, because this didn’t used to be my thing.
Episode 9, where there’s summary and meta and I go on a serious JJ tirade.
Episode 10, the longest commentary to date because I came unglued along with the rest of the fandom because my god, it was episode ten.
An extra discussion about toxic masculinity and how beautifully YOI unpacks it.
I have a lot more I want to do, maybe today but I really have to start these cookies and other real life stuff. I may start not just redirecting them to Tumblr but manually posting them here because they look hella gross when Wordpress dumps them in here. It’s more work, but if you’re going to do something, do it right, I guess.
Reblogging this to the dead one just in case nobody saw the HOLA I AM MOVING ACCOUNTS post. Because HOLA I AM MOVING ACCOUNTS.
MOVING DAY
I know, you’re not supposed to do this, and I’ve done this TWICE now, sorry. But I can’t comment right on this account and it keeps fucking shit up like nothing else because this account is secondary and I can’t make it right. And anyway this one was all official and shit, and I really just want to go be a fangirl. So I am now officially tumbling over at THIS ACCOUNT. I won’t be here anymore. I think most people were seeing me from Facebook and Twitter and honestly everyone was seeing me on my massive 5k Wordpress posts anyway.
But I’m over here now. And I’m done moving. Probably.
Sorry. I’m a dipshit.
well, that explains a lot Vol. 1

Forever my fav Victor photo. Forever will add “bitches” to the end of that sentence.
PLEASE
JUST
IMAGINE

WEDDING
DANCE?!
Also known as, “why Victor offers Yuri alcohol every three lines of the script.”
Okay it just hit on me that though the first bit of this is in Japanese, the last line in ep 10 in the credits is spoken in English. I’m so used to reading subs I didn’t pay attention until the 80th time I watched this, but...does this mean he’s babbling adorably drunkenly at first, then speaking in English? Or is this for effect?
Don’t mind me, just drawing the canon.
Okay, but what I love most about this scene is how Victor’s reaction has only one interpretation. It is unambiguous and agreed upon by 99.9% of the fandom.
Victor doesn’t say anything in the scene but just by his expression, his blush and his gasp we all understand what is happening within him.
Because the only thing that he can be experiencing at that moment is love. Whether it is infatuation or attraction or a crush or just an incredible awareness of Yuuri’s cuteness, there is love involved.
And literally nothing else makes sense here.
Some people can deny many things in this show but this one scene, this emotion that appears in Victor’s face is real and undeniable.
That’s what I love most about that scene. It shows something so profound and true in under five seconds and it is clear to the viewer without any additional explanations.
And that is not only beautiful. That shows mastery in the art of direction.
can i just point out yuri puts his glasses on (image 1) , then look at his own bed to realizes victor isn’t there. please also note that the other bed isn’t undone.
THE ENTIRE KARAOKE ROOM JUST SCREAMED. THANKS FOR THE CONFIRMATION.

Femininity and Masculinity in Yuri On Ice
First this is a direct response to this post so read it first. I wanted to post my response here to share my headcanons and thoughts about femininity/masculinity in Yuri On Ice!!
The subject of masculinity and femininity in YOI has been something I’ve been raving about to my friends since episode 3 when Yuuri begged Minako to teach him how to move like a woman. I headcanoned that femininity was always something Yuuri wanted. It’s not that he isn’t masculine - it’s that he’s naturally both and didn’t have many chances to explore them. In my mind, he yearned for femininity through Yuuko, his admiration and love for her, for wanting to be her! As much as he wanted to be Victor. But I see him as confident and natural in whatever state he’s in, be it more typically masculine or feminine. And I still think a boy identifying with female characteristics and having this as a major, natural sort of plot point is so important. I see Yuuri as naturally very feminine and masculine and that’s why his outfit for Eros- an outfit made to suggest masculinity and femininity as characterized in clothes- is so important. Because is being both too, and he’s letting that show through Eros.
Victor wore that costume too.
I talked to my friend about Victor the other day. I fleshed out my headcanon about Victor being more feminine (and I do feel wary about stereotyping when using these words but I think can all understand that masculine and feminine don’t have to be stereotypical traits), and naturally so. But as a man who liked men his masculine traits were called into question and denied, unlike Yuuri’s (who seems to have a good home life which is more than I can say for how I feel about Victor’s home life but that’s another speculation post altogether) which can often happen with men who are gay or bi/pan (and sometimes perceived as gay for the later two). I headcanoned that Victor strove for a more masculine persona (which isn’t fake per se) in order to compensate for the masculinity he was thought to lack. Masculinity and femininity have nothing to do with sexual orientation but not everyone can escape from the idea that it does. I think this was my reason for wanting to see Victor’s more masculine traits because I felt, like Yuuri he was both. He can be the playboy and the maiden, the hero and the rescued.
I’m rambling at this point about stuff that’s probably irrelevant to anyone but me, but I think there are a lot of factors with YOI that would be easier to talk about without dumb stereotypes and the patriarchy getting in the way. If we talk about Yuuri’s wonderful embrace of femininity too much, we run the risk of people thinking he’s ‘the girl’ in the relationship. Or that there has to be a girl, as you mentioned. We run the risk of feminizing Asian men which is another stereotype that needs to die because what’s wrong with being feminine and since when does it apply to an entire ethnicity? If we feminize Victor we run the risk of feminizing gay men. We risk it with Yuuri too. Because in the U.S at least, men who like men must actually be women because we have to put people into little boxes. And demonize femininity while we’re at it. Masculinity and femininity are still labels and they’re more of a continuum than people give them credit for.
So long post short, you put it beautifully that having a little bit of both is more natural, even something to strive for. A good thing. Yuuri more obviously has both of these kinds of traits and has them without reservation because they’re simply <i>him</i>. (He has plenty of other reservations so no worries.) But Victor has both too. And I imagine that wasn’t always easy for him. I also imagine it’s easier or will get easier with Yuuri in his life. But I think it’s important that Victor is allowed to have feminine traits and still be the hero. That Yuuri can be the maiden and still seduce the playboy with a drunken dance he doesn’t remember doing. Victor can be the playboy and still cry when he went all the way to Japan and the boy from the party, the one answering his skate program in the video, isn’t as receptive of him as he hoped. Yuuri can be feminine and dominant. He can be masculine and still cry and beg Victor to stay by his side. Victor can seduce Yuuri and Yuuri Victor. They can both be heroes. They can both be rescued. And so on. All of this is okay and neither of them has to be ‘the girl’ or ‘the man’ in the relationship. Neither of them has to give up their masculine or feminine traits to assume more binary roles. And that is what’s so perfect to me.
