The beauty of Yuri On Ice

After binge-watching Yuri On Ice (again), I was trying so hard to identify the feeling in my chest and my overwhelming need to return to this anime over and over again. Like Yuri, I struggled to come up with a single word to identify that feeling, but I think I finally pinpointed it.

Hope.

What I feel when I watch YOI is HOPE. Over 12 epsiodes we watched characters develop both personally and professionally, each fighting for their own goals but never viciously tearing each other down (except as misguided attempts to motivate each other and simple trash-talking which exists in all sports). It is a world where your worst enemy is yourself, and even that enemy can be vanquished with the right support system.

Kubo gave us a world without hate, a world where the love between two famous men is so accepted that many viewers couldn’t wrap their heads around the fact that it was real. A love that wasn’t extravagant and showy, but was still so real that it left all the fans with swooning hearts and a desire for a love like that. It stopped being love between two men, and started being a simple definition of LOVE no additional qualifiers needed.

In creating this world, where skaters of different backgrounds, from different countries, of different races and ethnicities, of varying ages, and of different sexual orientations not only compete as equals, but respect each other as equals, Kubo gave us an incredible example of how the world could be if we let it. YOI showed us what a world of acceptance would look like, and by God, it is so beautiful.

So, yes, I’m going to call that feeling in my chest a feeling of hope. Hope that someday our real world can be as lovely and accepting as Kubo’s. Hope that someday every person could experience the freedom to be treated as an equal, regardless of any quality. And when I feel the world turning uglier, I will again and again return to the world of YOI, even if only to ignite that hope once again.

Reblogging this because no news could take away from the memories of YOI releasing. It's an exact moment I can point to when I remember what happiness and inspiration felt like.

I miss it so much.

We are ineffably elated to confirm that Good Omens will return for a third season! This calls for a round of hot chocolate and sweet treats!

The chorus of Wahoos is deafening and delightful.

[n3rdlif343va]

The way the last few weeks of my life have been nothing but chaos and heart ache... and then Good Omens comes along just to remind me I have to still be here to see it.

they did in fact, not end up lying with each other and forgetting the world

Holy Crow! This is perfect. It really is.

I have to reblog this perfect little video once again, but add this:

In my headcanon, the last lines of this beautiful song are accompanied by these images:

All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where Confused about how as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

[n3rdlif343va]

I am UNWELL 😭😭😭😭

I said I'll give Yuuri dimples and I'm very happy I did.

This is cropped, the full painting is here on Patreon. (Payments currently paused until I can paint reliably again.)

I got lucky for being able to finish this, most of my art is on a hard drive I can't access until I find somewhere that carries the right cable. This painting was on a different folder on my desktop, because it's with pieces I'm planning to print.

I'm years late with the calendar I wanted to make, but I still want to do it. I'm making the month pages and picking between a 2024 calendar or a multi-year calendar.

[skellydun]

absolutely love reading such a well-written story and falling a bit in love with the author based solely on the way they write. like baby the way you italicize words makes my heartbeat quicken.

After having the conversation multiple times about how many people (myself included) had stopped writing for years until the Sandman on Netflix came along and grabbed us by the neck.

And after watching the screaming reactions to Good Omens season 2, (and all the meta and analysis and thoughts about plot structure, and suggestions for what makes sense for season 3.)

I have decided that Neil Gaiman's secret agenda is not the screaming or the angst.

I think his secret agenda is to make us all WRITE.

[neil-gaiman]

hi Neil! hope you're having a good one! silly little question -- in Good Omens 2 we see that demons have to be invited into the bookshop in order to enter, but Crowley doesnt. is he an exception to the bookshop wards, or does the bookshop have enough sentience/psychic ties to Aziraphale that it just doesn't recognize Crowley as a threat?

What makes you think that Crowley wasn't invited in on opening day, over 200 years ago?

Any headcannons on Yuuri and his mom? theres a serious lack of mama katsuki

I 100% agree, and I want all the Hiroko and Yuuri love!!!!Thank you for sending me this!!! (Also, I am super emotional about this topic,so I will TRY to reign it in… no promises)

-         Yuuri’s mom was the kind of women that wouldopenly welcome strangers into the onsen, and feed them even if all signspointed to the fact that the food wouldn’t be paid for

-         She would wait at the door at the end of theschool day, welcoming her children home with excited hugs and encouraging themto talk about every detail, from the biggest to the smallest occurence.

-         When Yuuri had come to her, a ball of unshedbaby fat and pink cheeks, barely able to squeak out the words “I want to dance”she had scooped her adorable son up into her arms and swung him around. They calledMinako together, and Yuuri’s mom proudly walked him to his first lesson

-         At his first recital, Hiroko rubbed Yuuri’s backas he puked up his lunch into a trash can. Giving him warm tea and wiping thetears from his eyes, she stayed back stage with him until it was time toperform. When he finished dancing and the entire crowd was on its feet, Yuuriran straight into his mother’s arms on the side of the stage

-         She was always the first to know when Yuuri washaving a rough time, holding him a little closer until the day that sherealized that she would need to let him go. When that day came, she took a stepback, offering physical affection only when it was sought out by Yuuri first.Giving Yuuri the gift of Vicchan also gave Hiroko the gift of dog cuddles asher son got older.

-         The Victor Obsession (as she deemed it whilegiggling with Minako one night) hit the Katsuki household in a storm ofmagazine cutouts and stacked videotapes of grainy television recordings. Hirokoknew her little boy was crushing and idolizing the famous skater, so shelearned everything she could about the Russian skater. By the time Yuuri was sixteen,Hiroko had already planned the wedding

-         They sat on the stone bench together, the teatray between them when Yuuri told his mom that he had decided to take Celestino’soffer to coach him and go to university in America. It had taken all of hercontrol to quietly nod her head and say “whatever you wish, my Yuuri, wesupport you.” It wouldn’t be until her baby boy was tucked into his seat on theinternational flight to Detroit that she would finally let herself cry.

-         Stooping low, Hiroko placed the last pictureinto the small wooden window in the wall. Yuuri’s precious Vicchan was nolonger with them, and her Yuuri was suffering. Reacting to the noise outside ofthe door, Hiroko straightened her back, wiped her eyes and joined her familyand friends to watch Yuuri compete on the ice in Sochi

-         She couldn’t lie to him, even if she wanted to.They had all seen his performance, had seen him fall, covered their faces andpleaded with him to keep going. She knew he didn’t hear her when she said shewas still proud of him, but she said it anyway

-         Celestino and Phichit were a constant presencein Yuuri Watch following the Sochi banquet. Her son was coming home broken, butHiroko dreamt of happiness and light around him. Good things were in her son’sfuture and she would keep him steady until they arrived

-         When Victor walked through the front door of theonsen, snow clinging to his jacket, bouncing ball of brown fur circling hislegs, Hiroko knew. She knew that this wasn’t just the man with an obsessionnamed after him. He was the catalyst of change, the bearer of hope, and the lightshe had envisioned dancing around her son. She hugged Victor the first time shelaid eyes on him

On the day of Yuuri and Victor’swedding, Hiroko sat between Mari and Yuuri’s dad, watching as her son marriedthe man who had fit so perfectly into their family. When the vows were read andthe first kiss was (finally) broken, tears sprang to her eyes as Yuuri andVictor both rushed to her. As she let herself be enveloped by the embrace ofboth of her son’s, Yuuri saw his mom cry for the first time in his life.

I could probably write a whole fic about this (because it was HARD to limit everything I wanted to include here… so maybe a fic? Also… now I want a Victor/Mama Katsuki headcanon list… someone control me!)

I never know how active Tumblr really is anymore but someone I love and adore with all my heart is really suffering right now.

Without going into details or violating their privacy, I'm sharing Mac's (@katsukifatale ) Ko-Fi. I know that these last few years have been so hard on so many people, but throughout every step of the way Mac has not only been there for me personally but has remained a bright spot in Fandom.

Mac preserved through the darkness of the pandemic to still bring light through events, their most prolific writing year ever in 2022, and hosting servers.

And now Mac really needs our help. If you are able to donate even a little bit that would be amazing and if you can't, even sharing this post would be incredible.

You can also go fill Mac's inbox with messages of support and encouragement.

Thank you for showing Mac love and support. All of it is so greatly appreciated!!

Heartstopper Mini-Comic: A Very Special Day

Buy the books / About Heartstopper / Read on Tumblr / Read on Webtoon / Read on Tapas / Support on Patreon

Hey all! Been working on a little something to ease myself back into drawing Heartstopper pages. I’m so proud of this mini-comic! I hadn’t drawn proper comic pages for over six months and I’d been really worried that my drawing skills would have worsened in that time. But I think this is the happiest I’ve ever been with a mini-comic. Thanks for your support this year and I really hope you enjoy this little story.

[artdefines06]

Whats this? YOI Fic rec in the year 2022? And only of classic fics that are length,y complete, and started in 2016/2017? Lets gooooooooo! I'm feeling the nostalgia tonight.

Winter Song/Falling - Victor falling on love with Yuuri in canon and beyond - some of my favorite writing ever that haunts me. Yes. -

Setting Sun - Angsty pining song fic for the ages @littlestarlost

i see quiet nights poured over ice - Another Victor canon POV because I am a sucker for them; this one has a slightly manipulative victor who knows what he wants and how to get it and ends up getting got and I love it every time. @ohhotlamb

A Song Thats Meant for Two - A small idea about the choice of violin in Yuuri's freeskate song that turned into 100k words, this is actually three fics in a series. The writing is so emotional and raw that I remember these moments like they really happened and any oc's are like family to me. @forestealites

RE: Yuri Katsuki - its just Phichit being an absolute mad-lad and best friend and inspired the way I write him. His character deserved more and this writer delivered! @ishxallxgood

Be My Chef, Yuuri - Did this writer write 128 YOI fics? Yes. Are they all wonderful? Yes. This was the first though, and still my favorite. Yuuri being a clumsy chef and dropping food when he sees victor lives in my head rent free and I even did a super subtle nod to it in one of my fics. and @n3rdlif343va was one of the first writer friends I ever had on this hellsite.

There you have it - its not all my fav fics but its the ones I was missing and remembering tonight :) Enjoy!

[n3rdlif343va]

Awwww @artdefines06 this was so lovely to see!!!

To add to the list is a fic by YOU which is one of MY favorite YOI AUs Ebb and Floe which everyone can (and should) go check out here:

Thanks for bringing me a smile in this here year of 2022!!

[heartstoppercomic]

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for all your support for Heartstopper this year!

Since going on hiatus from the comic, I have been incredibly busy with the release of the Netflix show, then writing season 2 in an extremely short timeframe, and also creating the Heartstopper Yearbook. I want to be honest with you all and let you know that my health is not great right now. Due to extreme overworking, stress, and a lack of breaks over the past several years, I am dealing with some mental and physical health issues, and therefore I am not yet able to return to making the comic.

The hiatus will continue while I try to rest and heal, so that I can come back to the comic with energy and passion for the story. 

From the bottom of my heart I am sorry that the comic has been absent for so long. It makes me want to cry whenever I think about how long it’s been. I am very proud of the TV show, and I am in love with how season 2 is shaping up, so I hope the sacrifice was worth it. I promise I will try to heal so that I can return to the comic in 2023.
