@blackjackethooker, @cracklenailpolishlips, @dragonsandphoenix: 

While it’s fine to headcanon Yuuri as bi, it’s not more valid than headcanoning him as gay as the only person he’s shown to be romantically and sexually attracted to in the series is Victor, a man. This is canon. Bi erasure is a real thing, but it 300% doesn’t apply to Yuuri Katsuki.  

Keep in mind that the original Japanese used gender neutral terms like 'lover’ and crunchyroll decided to translate it as ‘girlfriend’ in early episodes, which could give the illusion Victor was asking Yuuri about girlfriends when he was not. There was quite a bit of controversy over this mistranslations early on in fandom.

Just wanted to let you know that you got me into Nirvana in Fire (Lang Ya Bang? I was told the English title has nothing to do with the Chinese one XD). I've never watched a Chinese drama so thanks! It's real good so far (THE FEELS~!)

OH WAIT HERE’S ANOTHER ONE FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY ASK BOX

[lazulisong]

How do often do Victor and Yuuri have sex? At least 3 times a week? Once a day? Do they have quickies?

Er, I’m probably not the one to ask about smutty headcanons, like, this may be TMI on my part but honestly once I took a depression med that cut out libido entirely and I genuinely didn’t notice the difference until a week before my period, when I realized I didn’t want to read any smutty fanfics like usual. I am real, real ace.

Do you prefer to speak in Malay or English? Do you agree with the theory that bilingual/multilingual speakers tend to have different personalities when switching in between languages?

English. Believe it or not, my thoughts are all in English with the occasional Malay words here and there, mostly when English failed to express what I’m feeling or talking about. 

Like I am far more comfortable expressing myself in English. Heck, my Malay teacher and hey even some of my friends told me that when I speak Malay, it’s very obvious that I’m translating from English to Malay which I do. I’ve even been bullied about it but that’s besides the point.

Personally for me, I am no different regardless of the change between language that I use. If I’m speaking in Malay, I’m still crazy expressive as I am when speaking in English. But the thing is I dont speak Malay nearly enough for that to happen. Because sometimes there are lack of words in Malay to properly express my thoughts which I believe is due to my limited Malay lexicon. So my default language would always be English.

But for my friend (mien), she do believe that there’s a difference. She finds that when speaking in Malay, she sounds more harsher or “kasar”. But to her, English sounds more polite and nicer.

dragonsandphoenix answered to your post “it’s not like i’m not okay with it i mean volume six is pretty much my...”

Precisely because it's a fan favourite?

Yeah, I guess you may think it, but that would mean this OVA is only for the fans. I mean, have you watched it? I love volume six, but there are so many things you misunderstand if you start from there!

To make a couple of examples, the relationship between Kubota and Tokito is stupidly misunderstood, no, it's made far less than it actually is. When they show you the flashback to the moment in volume five when Tokito told Kubota "Say you want me"... without the whole of volume five there's so much less meaning in that sentence! That line comes after a whole volume in which Kubota and Tokito learn to live with eachother and trust each other and during the whole volume Kubota has spent his time thinking it was temporary, that everytime Tokito left the house could as well be the last time he saw him, and still he couldn't admit that he needed Tokito to stay, that he wanted him to be there and that's why that sentence is important, BUT if you don't know the story, if you were just interested in the OVA, that sentence put there like that only makes it look like they're just another yaoi couple like any other else and that's not true they're so much more

Also, you misunderstand Kubota a whole friggin lot if you start form volume six.

First, there is the Shuji thing that, seriously, was so wrong put like that I can't even... in the OVA you see Osamu ask him who killed him, who was the last one he saw, and Shuji answers with Kubota's name AND if that's your first encounter with Wild Adapter it's only obvious for you to think that Kubota actually DID kill him, when HE DIDIN'T. He was only the last one Shuji saw before dying, and if you read the manga, if you read the end of volume five, you would have known that. Because the reader saw Shuji get shoot, and knows exactly what happened, while volume six is seen through Osamu's eyes and he genuinely thinks Kubota killed him - and what gets on my nerves the most is that in volume six they don't tell you Kubota is actually innocent, because they don't need to. You reader know that he is, you don't need it to be explained to you. Unless you start from volume six, in which case you don't know anything but Osamu's side of the story.

Also, regarding the flashback to Komiya's death - that's another thing that makes you think Kubota is just a psycho. They show you his death, yeah, but they don't link it with the slaughter Kubota did before leaving Izumokai. You who have read the first volume know that at that time Komiya could have as well been the only good thing in Kubota's life. You who know what happened in volume one know that those yakuzas were the reason why Komiya was killed, and know Kubota avenged him with those killings. And know that he left Izumokai because he didn't care about it enough to stay now that Komiya wasn't there anymore. But if the OVA is the first thing you see? You just end up thinking that Komiya was the guy who gave Kubota a watch, and that at some point in time, Kubota got crazy and killed a whole bunch of yakuzas because he is a damn psycho.

And these are just a fiew! What I'm trying to say is that volume six is super duper great and I love it, and they did a perfect job adapting it, but it's not a good volume to start with. I mean, I wanted to have my best friend watch it so that maybe he would understand why Wild Adapter is my favourite manga ever, but that OVA isn't good enough to be the starting point, it messes everything up.
