EP 4: I 👏🏾LOVE 👏🏾THIS! It's such a seemingly small and insignificant scene, but playing along with the rest of the series in this rewatch, it's standing out to me much more now than it did originally. Yuuri just finished opening up to Viktor, and as I mentioned, he is slowly passing that blubbering phase of nerves. He has gone so far as to tell a personal story to Viktor, mind you again, his PERSONAL LIFE LONG IDOL, this larger than life megastar, and he says he wants to show you his love. Yuuri is beginning to feel so close to him, and is able to separate well enough the image of Viktor Nikiforov the star from Viktor the friend, that he is able to cave into the gravitation of physically touching him, almost to prove to himself that this is all really happening, and he is actually allowed to be this happy. Keep in mind power dynamics again. Even Viktor, a few seconds ago in this scene, says he is older than Yuuri, by 7 years. He's also leagues more talented, experienced, famous, everything: <b> for all intents and purposes, for the ENTIRE SHOW UP UNTIL THIS POINT, Viktor has had the power in his hands. </b> This small gesture, again looking at physical positionally alone, puts a bit of power into Yuuri's hands. Viktor is now the one kneeling on the floor, and Yuuri touches him on a thin spot on his head. Look how far they've come, especially Yuuri :") Viktor plays along with it, melting into the floor (his dramatic ass) but I'm sure he's overjoyed: Yuuri is finally, finally, trying to open up. Such character progression done so elegantly and realistically. Love it!!!!
