I'd adore any finnick hcs you have!! i love how you draw him

awwww, thank you Anon, I'm really happy you like it, I'm very happy with his design too

and here some headcanons, like I don't really have much, but I'll put some!

He can't read well. I think career training is like special schools and doesn't focus on things like reading, writing, history, etc. as much as they do on physical training. I would say like (polish) ballet schools. I also believe that in most districts that allow what is basically child labor (D4, D8, etc.) you only have to go to school until you're 16, you can continue it if you want until you're 18, for example, to become a teacher, clerk, or do other white collar jobs, but most kids leave school as soon as possible to go to work. So combined with the fact Victors don't really need to continue school after winning, he never really taught how to read very fast and correctly.

He didn't mentor Annie, and he doesn't really mentor very often, nor does he like it very much. He also gets some sort of guilt as his older with just interacting with any male tribute from D4 bc he feels like bc of him any other boy can’t really win bc they are not as good looking or skilled or have the personality good for entertainment or are not as young as he was, so they really don’t have good chances to begin with.

When I did that old comic, I had a storyline for him that he had a conflict with another D4 victor, mainly about the fact that the other winner was mentoring a D4 girl who went to the games with Finnick, and he was sure that they (he and Mags) should put all the support and choose to help the girl win, and because of what Finnick did in the arena, the girl died. So the old victor is still a little salty that Finnick is not the winner he wanted (connected with how much D4 is career district)

his family lived with him in victors village, but bc Annie’s family wasn’t allowed to move in with her (according to Capitol psychiatrists, "their presence increased her hysteria and mental instability") to her new house he moved to her house to live with her after less than year of dating

He’s not that much taller than Annie, I headcanon that she is like 1.78m and he is like 1.86m

He was the one who cut Johanna’s hair short when it was most styled after her victory (I'll post that fanart someday when I'll be done with all that school bullshit)

he has 3 ways of dressing: dressing just for himself (very baggy, oversize clothes, not shaving at all, looking kinda messy), dressing himself for capitol (still more of an oversize fit, skirt over pants, more creative than previous one, but kinda modest and trying to „hide” himself, face shaved and hair combed) and totally capitol (mostly see-through clothes, no visible body hair, makeup and nails done, hairstyle)

He didn’t really had a real hobby before started dating

He’s annie-sexual. Like maybe it is my romantic soul speaking, but I can’t really see him attracted to anyone beside her. He would be like this one guy on TikTok answering „my wife” after any question. What’s your type? My wife. How would you rate this person? 0, cuz they’re not my wife. If you could be with anyone who would you choose? My wife. He would love her if she was a worm, he would love her in every lifetime. She was his first real girlfriend and first real everything.

Remember when I first get into fanfics after reading books for the first time and seeing that he is usually described as the person who has to do everything and is involved in so many things (especially the 2QQ plan) my reaction was like „oh he for sure does drugs to get all of this shit together” and I still kinda like that headcanon, but now I would say that he is taking aderall as if they are gummy bears

He was such a brat, but eventually grow out of this around his early 20s

Achillean and ace trans dude. What do you think his backstory in the secrets of the furious five was about?

Exactly.

What broke Victor’s heart?

So I would guess that the reason Victor cut his hair is going to be important to his backstory and probably important for the Victuuri relationship. We see him at 17 in Christophe’s flashback with his beautiful long hair, but we aren’t really given any indication as to how long he had this style. Based on this we see that he had that long hair when he was in the junior division.

Judging by the posters in Yuri’s room, it certainly looks like he didn’t have his long hair for long. So something in his early career (17-18) caused him to cut his hair. 

Credit to @kusomarimo​

Victor states that “skaters’ hearts are fragile as glass,” like it’s fact, like he knows this from years of experience and observation. If all skaters have glass hearts, then Victor must too. What broke Victor’s heart? Also just the fact that he uses this as a coaching technique with Yuri speaks volumes about the type of mentorship he has experienced before. Clearly he identifies with Yakov and Lilliana’s type of mentorship (strict, but effective). He pushes Yuri to be the best that he can be, since “that’s his way of showing his love”.

So I direct you to the following quote:

“ Cutting off hair in ancient Asian cultures used to symbolize banishment or rejection from home. In Western culture, however, cutting off long hair symbolizes forgetting the past, moving on and starting over.“

(source)

I would be interested to see which route the writers take with this. Others have already noted the fact that Victor’s family is literally never mentioned, which is odd. When Victor leaves Russia to go to Japan on a whim the only person who tries to stop him is Yakov. He seems to have Makkachin, Yakov, and other skaters (and the adoration of nameless fans). Where is his immediate family? When Yuri P asked about how he gets in touch with his own agape (his own emotions), Victor deflects and doesn’t answer the question at all. When faced with a tense emotional situation, Victor backtracks or he ultimately fumbles. He doesn’t appear to have the skill set to defuse these situations.

He is clearly uncomfortable with and unfamiliar with emotional intelligence, which implies that he hasn’t had the proper guidance or mentorship in this regard. All of this points to the picture of a lonely man who’s been shaped by a lack of love.

So either he doesn’t have a family at all, or he does have one and they are no longer on speaking terms. I would argue that it could be either.

Possibility A: If we go with the “rejection from home” angle, Victor had the support and adoration of both family and fans at age 17 when he won the European Championships. But he had a massive falling out with his family shortly afterwards. Devastated, Victor cuts his hair and throws himself into skating. He lives with Makkachin and Yakov is now his surrogate father. He lives to skate and he skates to live.

Or possibility B: Once again everything is hunky dory with 17 year old Victor. Tragedy strikes and his family is lost in an accident. Victor cuts his hair shortly afterwards.

Or possibility C:  If we instead go with the “moving on/starting over” angle, Victor is an orphan and was betrayed by his first coach, someone he thought that he could trust. It caused him to break with the coach, lose his naivete and youth, and start anew with Yakov as his mentor. Just as Lilliana states below, this certainly fits in line with symbolic hair-cutting. Frankly I find this one the most interesting. It is the least melodramatic, and it’s the one that makes the most sense. In a way this scenario includes both “cutting with the past” and “rejection by family,” since to Victor his coach must have felt like family. If this bond was all he really had, then that coach must have been both parent and friend. Since Victor was a child when he gained his first coach, he probably trusted this person unconditionally. I can only imagine the toll this would take on a young skater.

Maybe I’m reading way too into this, but family has played an important role in YOI so far and everything in this show is put there for a reason.  I think that even though this is Yuri’s story of personal growth, this is also Victor’s story. At its heart, YOI is the story of two people who are becoming better versions of themselves by being together.  Victor sought out Yuri because he felt a connection through a cellphone screen, thousands of miles away. He sees someone who has everything he lacks–he sees raw emotion and love and he wants to forge that bond. I’m hoping that by the end of this show that Yuri will get Victor to recognize that he is also surrounded by love.
