On Victor’s love

Okay so I was thinking about Victor’s reasons to coach Yuuri recently and I realised there is one thing I was missing while thinking about it before. You know how we are shown Victor’s eyes start to sparkle the moment Yuuri asks him to be his coach?

For me this scene was always about feeling needed - Victor was so lonely he wouldn’t even realise it until that one dead drunk skater looked at him with awe and asked for his time and attention. Of course, it was a life-changing moment. In a way, I could agree this is the moment Victor falls in love because the idea of someone wanting him, needing him, struck him so much he can’t help himself. And so I agree that Victor’s crush on Yuuri played a big part in his decision making when it came to going to Japan. However, I also believe there was a different kind of love that really determined that decision.

Because we can be sure that before he overworked himself to the point of severe depression, before being on top lost its meaning, Victor absolutely loved skating. He’s not just an athlete, he was always an artist who was able to share his passion and stories and he wanted to surprise an audience, not because of his own vanity, but because of how much he wanted to share something he loves with the world. His skating was never about winning but about sharing his love for ice skating and this is why his situation is so tragic at the beginning of the series - he probably realised at some point that it’s not only that the audience is not surprised but also that he can’t find that love in himself anymore. For me, this is why he skates a program about missing love in his life - the only story he still knows how to tell.

And then Yuuri shows up asking for a coach, for someone to help him find his love for skating again, someone who in every move shows how much more does skating means then being technically strong. Victor had always so much to give and there is finally someone who wants to and deserves to take it. 

I don’t think that Victor came to Japan only because he needed love or inspiration although he definitely found them there. But he went to Japan because all he ever wanted was to inspire and express and share and Katsuki Yuuri was the first person who could appreciate it in a way that Victor would never imagine possible. He went to coach Yuuri if only to remind himself why does he loves skating and ended up finding so much more and it makes me so happy to think that next season he’ll be able to show his love for the whole world again.

JUST SOME HOLIDAY STUFF FOR THE ROGUE KIDS

For reference these are headcanons regarding how the Rogue kids tend to spend the holidays, and to emphasize: not all of them celebrate Christmas, hence why I’m making this.

SO!  Read below?  I think yes.

Tobi and his father are Eastern Orthodox, hence they celebrate Christmas in January, not December.

Roxy is Irish Catholic, and Jon was also raised Catholic, though he is non-practicing, both Dorothy and Pluto celebrate Christmas and St. Stephen’s Day with their parents.

Since I literally went a year thinking Harvey Dent was Jewish it’s a headcanon now, Zeke and Harvey observe Hanukkah.

Though Victor is an atheist, he still observes Wiccan Yule with Eva.

The Harris family is Irish Catholic, and like the Crane family they celebrate Christmas and St. Stephen’s Day.

Clover and Lavender observe Yuletide.

Ayah and Hunter celebrate Christmas with their father (none of the family is very religious).

HONESTLY I DON’T KNOW ABOUT AIDEN BUT I FEEL LIKE HE’D CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS HE SEEMS LIKE A CHRISTMAS CHILD.

The Machin siblings are actually Protestant, they celebrate Christmas.

The Menkels observe Hanukkah.

Andrea and her mother celebrate Christmas and Three King’s Day.

The Nygma family celebrates Christmas.

Barbara and Todd observe Hanukkah with their mother.

Leo and Bane fly down to Mexico during the holidays so they can spend them with Leo’s mother (they also do this during Dia de Los Muertos because Leo’s birthday is November 2nd).

Gwen and Jervis observe Christmas.

Jeremy and Jason spend the holidays at Wayne Manor.

Cosette usually spends the holidays with her mother in France, she celebrates Christmas and Three King’s Day.

Marcus celebrates Christmas with his entire family.

I'm going on holidays!

I won't be at home for the next two weeks (instead I'll be chilling on the beach, yes!) and I don't know whether there will be wifi where I am. 

I have a queue up and running, so that won't be the problem. 

I'll see you guys in two weeks, I hope you have a good time and amazing holidays. Love you ♥
