This is a masterpiece (source)
Made this super quick because this is what I am doing.
Sometimes it’s amazing how in the beginning of the series you think of Victor as this guy who 100% knows what he’s doing, has perfect communication skills and so larger than life that he’s impossible to reach. A guy who walked in like a miracle to save Yuuri from himself, from his own doubts and fears. Now you know that he has no fucking clue what he’s doing, has atrocious communication skills, and is so lonely and earnest and desperate that he really, really, really, really needs a hug. A guy who found in Yuuri a miracle that saved him from himself, from the despair closing ever tighter around his neck. Writing, eh.
“Next up we have Jean-Jacques Leroy, age 19 from Canada, skating to ‘Theme of King J.J.’ by Jean-Jacques Leroy”
*CHOKES ON TONGUE*
SO THE WEDDING TAPESTRY HAS COLOR NOW AND–
As a reminder, here’s a detailed guide to purchasing the DVDs/BRs from Animega to get this for yourself!
So now like
imagine the final episode, there’s a tag after the credits have rolled (Kubo-sensei has told us to be sure to watch to the very end, which suggests there will be a tag after the ‘ending’), and it’s just a shot of Yuuri’s door from inside his room. It’s closed.
There’s a knock.
Yuuri opens it, and there’s Victor. Wearing the above suit. Offering his arm. “Ready?”
We now see Yuuri, hair slicked back, in this white suit (still wearing that fucking god-awful ugly tie that makes Victor’s eye twitch a little; he’s got plans for that little bastard later). He loops his arm through Victor’s. “I’m ready now. Let’s go.” (aka the final lines of Stammi Vicino, the song that brought them together.
They leave, heading down the hall to the main banquet room where they’re late for their own wedding.
Fade to black :>
everyone: Yuri on ice
Otabek: Yurio nice
Let me leave you with one final thought before I go to bed
If you’re ever doubting what is coming next
Just go back and listen to “Yuri on Ice”.
Does it end in sad, morose notes? Does it end with a whimper?
No. It ends with a rousing, joyful noise. It ends with the piano and violin in perfect synchronization, together, playing as a pair. It ends the way one can only hope a series they love ends.
So just enjoy the good parts of this week’s episode and don’t dwell overlong on the sad parts.
but guys
did you know that “altyn” is “gold” in Kazakh
which means that Plisetsky got his gold no matter who wins at the Grand Prix Final
*drops the mic*

Thanks for the submission
JUST AS A FOLLOW UP FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO VOTE BUT CAN’T NIHONGO (JAPANESE)
When you go to the page it’ll look something like this, and if you scroll down a bit you’ll see this:
The symbol is a hand putting in a ballot, so it’s slightly self-explanatory (lol). Click on this button and you’ll be redirected to their full list of anime, which starts with “あ”, which is basically the beginning of the Japanese alphabet.
Looking at this string of hiragana characters at the top, you’ll want to click on the third one from the right, “や”. This redirects to the anime starting with Y. From here, it’s pretty easy to see where Yuri on Ice is.
Click the button on the right that corresponds to Yuri on Ice, and you’ll see a screen like this:
The first question asks whether you want to make a post about your vote on your twitter (by the way, it’s a good idea to be logged in to twitter at this point lol). The first option is yes, the second is no. For the second part, it gives you the option of following TAAF. Likewise, the first option is yes, and the second option is no. THE VERY IMPORTANT PART: PRESS THE PINK BUTTON. The dark grey button says “cancel” (self explanatory). Once you do, you’ll be redirected again to this screen:
Since I gave my consent to post, I’m not completely sure if this pops up for everyone, though. Once you’ve authorized (or not), you’ll be sent back to the website you started on.

L-LOOK…..OTAYURI IS GOOD AND PURE…..Otabek would waiting patiently until Yuri is 18 before they even do stuff like HOLD HANDS….

Yuri on Ice’s acronym is YoI. People have joked that it’s similar to yaoi or whatever, but there is yet another thing it’s similar to that no one seemed to have point fingers at and laugh yet…
YoI. yoi. よい 酔い = fucking drunk.
NO I DON’T THINK THIS IS A GRAND PLAN OR MEANINGFUL OR ANYTHING, BUT IT IS *HILARIOUS*.
Yuuri showing up to his own wedding in that terrible suit and tie that Victor hates with a shit-eating grin, just so that Victor can have the pleasure of ripping it off of him after the ceremony.
IM SORRY I HAD TO DRAW IT OUT
SASSY CONFIDENT PLAYFUL YUURI GIVES ME LIFE BUT WILL PROBABLY BE THE DEATH OF VICTOR.
Now I'm Ready
Last week, after seeing Yuuri’s anxiety while standing on the street and his one-sided contemplation of leaving the skating world I felt there was something missing. That at that point in the series Yuuri’s desire to leave skating seemed so, so based in his anxiety. In his inability to be the best, that he was letting Victor down, reflecting badly on Victor, and that he needed to just stop. That Yuuri’s drive to keep skating was still there, but he was tampering it down in his heart for what he thought he deserved.
In a complete 180 from that, after episode 10, I feel very content with the idea that Yuuri and Victor will leave the competitive skating world. Before the idea almost made me cringe, because it felt like Yuuri giving in to his anxiety. It made sense for Victor, yes, but not for Yuuri who has so much left to give.
But Yuuri’s won his prize now. The wording in the preview for episode 10’s preview, something golden and round, gave the fandom whiplash. “Omg RINGS, no it’s a medal no way, OMG IT WAS RINGS”
Somehow I feel the correlation that keeps being made is very important. Yuuri no longer needs the golden, round medals. He no longer needs to prove himself as the best skater. He went into competitive skating because of Victor. He wanted to skate with/for/against Victor. He wanted Victor to see him. And up until episode 10 Yuuri was still having doubts about how clearly Victor’s sight was. He was worried that once the season was over Victor would leave. Their time was over. But now it’s not. It never will be.
Losing his competitive edge for skating makes sense now. It makes sense now that his reason for skating has been completely achieved. He’s no longer giving in to his anxiety. It’s no longer that monster talking him down. It’s simply that he’s achieved his dreams. The final step something Victor has declared – marriage with a medal.
What does he have to gain from skating beyond that?
Victor, too, has been struggling all season with his career and what to do. Will he retire officially? Will he go back to skating? The world seems to want him back, but here he is chasing Yuuri. Something that has so much more meaning now after that banquet reveal. He’s been waffling and unsure because Yuuri has been unsure and he’s been questioning his heart. Victor was experiencing his own hidden anxiety in what Yuuri truly feels for him, because here is the boy who literally swept him off his feet dancing one night, and now he’s running away from him.
But Victor has also reached his meaning. He’s happy now. His 20+ years of avoiding life and love are over. He’s accepted them. He’s learned that there’s far more in the world that skating, that it’s okay to be beyond skating. He is not just Russia’s National Treasure. He is also Yuuri’s. And that title means so, so much more to him.
The last line of Stammi Vicino/Hanarezu ni Soba ni Ite:
Let’s Leave Together Now I’m Ready
They’re there. They’re ready. Finally. They can make their exit from skating. But only now. Now that it is together.
Is it any wonder the man went out to drink until 6am all the time during the Onsen on Ice? (And during the Cup of China he’s had it with this katsudon bullshit, just seduce him as goddamned bloody Katsuki Yuuri already!)
