What I love about Yuuri and Victor as a couple, more than anything, is how balanced their relationship is. In Yaoi there is almost always a clear Seme and Uke. In a lot of “traditional” relationships, there is always a male and female role. One partner is dominant and one is submissive.
But most relationships aren’t as black and white as that. Loving relationships are all about balance, and about each partner bringing their own strengths to the table, and blending two distinct beings into one whole relationship.
This means in some areas and moments, one partner will be the more dominant, but at other times, it’ll swing to the other partner. Relationships are about give and take, not about set, strong roles, and this is something Yuuri and Victor show so clearly.
They both have moments of vulnerability and strength. There’s no clear dominant person. When Victor says something harsh, Yuuri cries, but Victor also cries when Yuuri does the same back to him.
And then in their pair skate they just show this all so clearly. They are a pair, but there isn’t a distinct “male” role.
In the beginning and for the lifts, Victor is in the more “male” role, presumably because of the lift - it would be difficult for Yuuri to lift Victor who is heavier and taller than him.
But then they switch roles so beautifully, and it is Yuuri supporting Victor and propelling him into the spins.
This is how true, loving relationships are. They shift and move, allowing both partners to support each other, and Yuuri and Victor show this in every aspect of their relationship.
They are such an amazing couple, regardless of gender.
