So now that I have finally calmed down (hah ahha ha who am I kidding I aM SO NOT CALM LMAO) Iām going to talk about something that I havenāt seen a post about yet!
Because something that I really liked, was this
This moment was intensely suggestive (at least to me). Going to a place with fewest people? Well I wonder whatās going to happen there?
They walk together down some deserted stairsā¦
ā¦and end up in a completely empty car park
Itās the typical,Ā āperfectā setting. They are alone with the two of them, in a dark place where they would not be disturbed. I think more than one of us was thinking how this moment was going to lead towards the thing we had been expecting
Especially when this happens
The tension is here. The tension is intense. Theyāre nose to nose, Victor is even holding Yuriās head in his hands. Everything about this entire scene suggested that they were going to kiss.
And here, theyāre even closer
But then the drama happensā¦
(Oh god my heart broke. Look how sad he is my poor bby)
But that did not stop the suggestiveness from being suggestive. Yuri is crying, Victor did something wrong. So now he has to make it up to him, no? The setting is still 100%Ā āperfectā.
However, itās here when you know that itās not going to happen in this dark car park
Of course, of course, the makers were highly aware of what they were doing. They played with the trope and the expectations of a kiss between the two of them alone in a silent place, and, instead of letting the cliche expectations come true, turned it into one of the strongest and most important scenes of the show thus far
And then⦠We see them return to the skate ring
Please listen to the music that was playing while Georgi was skating. This music wasnāt for him;Ā the music was for Victor and Yuri. It has this intense melody that fits perfectly with what happened a moment ago, and while seeing these two together, weĀ noticeĀ that somethingās there, somethingās growing. We donāt exactly know what yet, but thereās definitelyĀ something going on within their silence, and the music enhances this feeling.
IT IS NO COINCIDENCE THAT THE STORY THAT WAS TOLD IN GEORGIāS FREE SKATE WAS A STORY ABOUT A KISS. Even throughout the visuals of Georgi and Anya that are shown to us, our attention lies still completely with Yuri and Victor, because of what I just described
The camera switches back to these two immediately after Georgiās words. That is no coincidence either. The entirety of Georgiās performance is complete foreshadowing to their kiss. Even though the moment in the car park passed, itās not over yet.
Because then Yuri performs, and he competely enthralls Victor
AND DOES A FUCKING QUADRUPLE FLIP THIS BOY
AND VICTOR HAS NEVER BEEN THIS SURPRISED
And then one of my favourite moments arrives (not the kiss yet guys this small thing made me so happy)
for the record: Victor is somewhere behind Yuri
And I love to think that at this moment he was literally likeĀ āfuck it now Iām gonna do it too Iām gonna kiss that guy ffsā
But look, Victorās running away from his spot, which Yuri doesnāt see
So Yuri looks around, hence his cutest moment of the episode ensues
āWhere did he go????āĀ fuck why are you so cute
And then he sees him, and they run (skate) towards each other
AND DO SOMETHING THAT IS 99945894 TIMES AS PERFECT AS A KISS IN A DESERTED CAR PARK
A KISS IN FRONT OF FUCKING EVERYONE
THE ENTIRE āPERFECTā CAR PARK MOMENT, THE MOMENT IN WHICH AT LEAST 80%, MAYBE MORE, OF US VICTURI LOVERS THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO KISS, COMPLETELY PALES NEXT TO THE PERFECTION OF THE ACTUAL THING
And I love how they did that, how they played with us in that sense and instead of letting their kiss happen in a place where no one would be able to see them and they had all the chance to do so, they madE IT HAPPEN IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING ENTIRE WORLD
AND I WANT TO BLESS AND THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED CREATING THIS WONDER WITH ALL MY HEART
And that is what I wanted to talk about, if you reached this far, well done my friend! As a reward, hereās Victuri in theirĀ cutest moment~Ā
