YOI 30 Day Challenge: Day 7

7. Most underrated scene 

Yuuri’s Rostelecom Cup FS. I don’t see it discussed anywhere near as often as the episode 7 and 12 frees, but it’s such an important turning point in the way Yuuri thinks about himself as a competitor and his relationship with Coach Victor. 

Although there is a continuous thread of wistfulness running through the course of the show from episode 4 onward, it’s amplified here up until the end of episode 12, starting with Yuuri’s worries here. I think oftentimes the emotional impact of this scene is buried underneath both the ep 7 and 12 frees and the airport scene a few minutes later.

My favorite line of the monologue is above, but here are some of my other favorites:

- “How did he know how I felt? Until Victor came into my life, I could never openly say that I’d win gold, but I never skated thinking it was inevitable that I’d lose.”

- “I was able to come this far because Victor believed in me.”

- “Yurio looked like he’d kicked the bucket on his last three-jump combo. Idiot! I have more stamina than him.”

- “I’m the one who loves this program Victor and I made the most in the whole world!” (Although I do love the dub’s “Victor and I created this program together and I love it so much it hurts,” but apparently we don’t like the dub round these parts).

Yep, folks, this is all said within the span of two minutes at the Rostelecom Cup! Super duper underrated.

Day 12: Eros or Agape

*sigh* *sigh* *sigh* Why? Just why these questions? Just why?

While I love Eros...

I gotta go with Agape.

While both Yuris go through incredible character transformations throughout the series, each of these numbers pushing their limits... When Yuri performs Agape at Barcelona, it is like he truly goes through a metamorphosis when he *finally* gets so immersed in the role that he looses himself in the number and does his jump sequence with hands overhead. Like, this was an ultimate wow for me.

I feel Yuuri has his metamorphosis moment in Yuri On Ice when he performs Victor’s signature jump.

So for this, I have o go with Agape but this was a tough choice! Both pictures were done by me, trying to truly do my best to capture both movement and emotion, even when a character is still.

Enjoy these magnificent boys!

Day 17: Share a Memory YOI Related

So this is a little personal, but when YOI came into my life I was going through a rough patch, kind of still am 2018 has been a crazy year, but I was at a convention last year and was totally having a panic attack because I was in a knee walker and there were so many people and I just got really overwhelmed. One seller had anime goods and that had a Makka purse and it made me thrilled because in a dark moment YOI was really there as a shining light.

The second memory is....up until like a couple of months ago, I’ve *never* shared my art public, *never*. But then I took it upon myself to give myself this Screenshot Challenge where I would choose a screenshot from YOI and try and have it colored in the same day...it doesn’t always happen, but I try really hard to post a new pic daily. It’s really hard for me to share my work, but it’s getting easier every day.

My very first art ever posted!

My last bit is about the amazing people I’ve met in this fandom, the people who really touch my life and bring sunshine into it when skies are grey. @yukipri makes the most beautiful fandom art I’ve ever seen! Her AUs are so creative and her world building skills are phenomenal! Her Future Verse gives me life! I got into A/B/O because of it! Not to mention my love of her Russian Sandwich. And um... *cough* *cough* her Star Wars AU... Check it out! Check it all out! Her updates always make me really happy! Not to mention her OC children who are adorable and I just want to adopt them all! @joeys-piano makes the most phenomenal audios I’ve ever listened to. I can literally listen to his interpretations on loops while I’m making art and writing because they, and his talent, are so inspiring. He’s so talent d, please listen to his audios! @crimson-chains her Siren AU and Mafia AU slay me! The talent she has with coming with these AUs and creating such story driven manga pages is just mind blowing. And her original is fantastic! Sine I’m so into to YOI I don’t look at too much art outside it, but man, her work blows me away I wish I had her skills! Check her out! @lucycamui Her Siren AU just has me blown away and I love re-reading it and can’t wait for its release! The way she writes her scenes, builds characters, and builds suspense is incredible! It becomes pageturning and I need it in my life. Check her out! @lusciouswhiteflame I can’t say enough about their Yuri Plisetsky art! I love him, but I love seeing him happy and in their work he’s happy and in love with their OC Alex, who is hot...in fact all their work is steamy and playful, I love it! Please support them! I bought my very first zines from @lusciouswhiteflame and haven’t been happier! @phaytesworld her writing is some of the steamiest I’ve read and her slow burns slay me! Okay, just flat out kill me, I live for her updates! Her rare pairs make me so happy and her confidence in posting her works inspires me immensely. I’ve not posted my writing yet because it’s not of caliber, but she inspires me. @geekmom13 one of my first followers and someone who makes me happy! I don’t have many followers, hopefully one day, but I appreciate anyone who takes them time to view my work. It means a lot to me. And her Harry Potter and catposts gove me life!

I can’t list every person who’s made me happy with their posts, art, and stories! These are just the ones I know off the top of my head! This fandom has given me sunshine in such a cloudy year, I wouldn’t be where I am today without the amazing influences of these and so many others. I can’t thank everyone enough!

So...this was more than a little personal, but these are my happy memories. Please enjoy!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please feel free to reblog with much love but please don’t repost without permission.

Good night all!

YOI 30 Day Challenge: Day 6

6. Prettiest costume

(x)

See now there’s clearly a cosmic reason I started the challenge late, and it was so that I could post a high-res photo of these incredible, gorgeous costumes as my favorites for this exact question.

(It’s also for me to get out of having to decide my favorite from season 1 because I have at least 3.)
