@the-great-akienator
Creating a fandom twitter is probably the best decision I've made bc aside from the fact that I can get away with RL shit, I'm also seeing (and I can't believe I just discovered this) the goodness that is pochayuuri. and yes pls follow me @ akienator thanks ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
I need to let my excitement for the new movie out. And since I'm more active on twitter, I decided to create a separate account. Please follow me!!

YOI MOVIE SPECULATION
Ok, guys, we are all freaking out with the movie news, and Kubo sensei goes and posts this:
Basically, she is recalling when she first made this AMAZING young Viktor art, and now IT ALL MAKES SENSE.
One thing the fans are worried about though is “where is Yuuri??? If the movie is about Viktor’s adolescence, where is our precious katsudon??”
BUT GUYS, REMEMBER when Kubo posted that art above one year ago, she also posted this (THAT SEEMS TO TAKE PLACE IN THE SAME LOCATION WHERE VIKTOR STANDS ALONE IN THE FIRST ART):
SOOOO, the speculations we’ve been seeing around Tumblr and Twitter that the movie plot may be about Viktor recollecting his past with his loved ones and even drawing some comparison between his past and his new “life and love” may not be so far-fetched after all!
+ the anime ended with Yuuri in St. Petersburg. If the movie will take place where the anime left off, then we'll surely see our favorite katsudon.
Why I think a yoi prequel movie will actually be great
By now, you have probably seen a form of the new yoi movie news - that it’ll be called Ice Adolescence and will release sometime in 2019. You’ve also probably seen some form of this visual:
Which is my way of saying that you too, have also probably concluded that the yoi movie will be a prequel which will somehow feature Victor’s backstory.
I think all of us wanted to see a sequel because we obviously want to know what Yuuri and Victor are up to after the GPF in Barcelona, but remember: getting a prequel doesn’t close any doors for the future, and in fact - it opens them. Yes, it means we’ll have to wait even longer for a sequel, whether that would be again in movie form or in the form of a season 2 but I’m sure that Ice Adolescence will be in no way a waste of time.
Because the truth is, we need Victor’s backstory, badly.
Yes, we as a fandom have filled in all the gaps in Victor’s past based on a mix of deduction, interpretation and just logical reasoning based on what we saw in the TV anime. (And maybe some headcanons - I think we all have our assumptions about for eg. Victor’s family.)
But let’s face it - canonically-speaking, we know very little about Victor.
We know he’s the living legend of the figure skating world, we know he’s sacrificed his life and love for his career and that his loneliness really started to weigh on him in his mid to late twenties, and that Yuuri drunkenly asking him to be his coach was a catalyst for the change in his life and that’s… pretty much it. Sure, we may know his personality, we may know what sort of person he is and we know his relationship with Yuuri, but his past is one gaping hole.
And that is good in some way - it’s open to interpretation, so anyone can fill in the gaps with what they want.
But when it comes to exploring Victor’s character deeper, it’s a huge roadblock. Because how deep can you really go when you can’t say anything about a character’s past?
Does Victor have any traumas? Where are his parents? Did he enjoy skating as a teen? Did he have any close friends? Was he close with Chris or were they just acquaintances? Why did he cut his hair? What was his relationship with Yakov like before he got big enough to do what he wanted? They’re all important questions and the answers could help paint a better picture of Victor and flesh him out - make him more than just the miserable mystery that he seemed to be before Yuuri pole danced into his life.
Because if we want to see Yuuri’s and Victor’s future in St. Petersburg (or wherever else, but St. Petersburg would be key here), we need to understand Victor’s past and his feelings towards the city, his homerink, his rinkmates, figure skating in general and everything else. Only by seeing Victor’s past can we understand his feelings and his character development and truly appreciate it. Only by contextualizing Victor can we truly see him for what he is, and not by what we assume he is based on the few scraps of information we received.
Now, to address certain concerns in particular:
“If the movie will be about Victor’s past then it will be sad!”
Not necessarily, no. We know that Victor got tired of his career and really needed a break (and was likely depressed) by the time he was in his mid to late twenties, but who’s to say that he didn’t enjoy skating in his teens? Who’s to say he was miserable back then? Maybe that was when he still really enjoyed skating, maybe that was when he had the most fun? Sure, Yuuri might not be there but it’s not like Victor didn’t have other joys in his life, no matter how superficial.
“If the movie will be about Victor’s past then Yuuri - THE MAIN CHARACTER - won’t be there!”
We don’t know that yet. Maybe it’ll show the adolescence of all the older yoi characters? Like Chris and Yuuri and Phichit and others, especially Georgi, who always trained with Victor on the same rink under the same coach and who’s story could be really interesting. And wouldn’t that be interesting, just to know what they went through before they were the characters we knew in season 1?
“If the movie will be about Victor’s past then we won’t see what happened to Victor and Yuuri after the GPF in Barcelona!”
Again, we don’t know that. It may be a movie fully set in the past and it may be a movie which just uses heavy flashbacks but also shows us what the characters are up to now. Even if we don’t learn what happened to Victor and Yuuri during the movie, that leaves open doors for another season, especially that we’ll have a fully contextualized Victor by then which will be much easier to work with for another season.
I understand people’s concerns and doubts but please remember: we have literally just received ONE visual, the title and the date. Effectively, we still know nothing. Let’s all just wait and trust the people who gave us an amazing season 1 and have literally never disappointed us to deliver us the great content we know and love them for.
re: did vitya enjoy skating in his teens! in the article yuuko shows yuuri back in ep1 flashback he says this:
I think it’s a blessing that I’ve been skating since I was a child and it’s still fun to me to this day, and it’d be wonderful if I could keep on feeling like this. (source)
so he did def enjoy it back then! which makes me even more interested in when exactly he began feeling he way he did :(
Oh yeah, that was a thing! There’s definitely a lot to unpack here and we gotta trust that they will do a good job showing us what Victor was like and perhaps, what happened after that.
And while it could be argued that he’s just lying to the press/to himself because he was tactful and wanted to fulfill fans’ expectations in his career, but then there’s moments like this in the first season (again, ep 1)
that are so starkly different in contrast to the Stammi Vicino performance from ep 1 which was practically a metaphor for Victor’s solitude and exhaustion, that there’s no reason to believe that Victor was never happy while skating.
Yes, the poster may look somber but I think there’s much more to it than just “Victor was always miserable until he met Yuuri”. We all know there’s more to him than that, right?
And if we don’t, perhaps the movie will help us realize that.
yuuri: who’d even wanna coach me after all my failures?
victor:
yuuri: who’d even be happy to see me naked on ice?
victor:
yuuri: who’d even believe in me more than I believe in myself?
victor:
yuuri: who’d even love-
victor:
yuuri: who’d even marry-

40+ year old men who seriously believe the young girls working at stores and restaurants are actually flirting with them just because the girls smile and are friendly are the most disgusting and terrifying things on this planet.
i keep getting messages from men over the age of 40 who were upset by this post and i’d like to sincerely thank them for proving my point so effortlessly.

Iron Man: I’m the richest and possess the most advanced technology on the planet
Black Panther:
This post got derailed by racists so fast so let’s do this again
Tony Stark is worth around 12billion; Batman 10billion. Black Panther almost 100 TRILLION. Black Panther can buy Wayne Enterprises and Stark Industries at the same Going Out of Business sale. Tony’s tech has always been decades behind Wakanda technology. That’s why Black Panther’s costume is sleek and form-fitting yet still bulletproof while Tony still has to bulk up his with extra metal. Batman doesn’t even have a bulletproof costume unless it looks like Ironman’s. Plus Wakanda’s current technology was invented by a female and not just any female a Princess. Batman has Fox invent his technology Tony does the best he can while yelling at Pepper. AND Wakandans found the cure for many different types of cancer. They only reason they don’t share with the world is because white greed and insurance companies.
Panther & Co.™ has enough wealth and power to hide a goddamn country from the entire rest of the world. Tony has a gold-plated bow tie and a few fancy bottles of wine.
My husband saw this as I was scrolling down and said “Dude, Black Panther finds Tony Stark’s net worth in his couch cushions when he’s looking for the TV remote. And he’s probably judging the Iron Man suit like ‘oh hey I had one of those I built when I was 6.’”
And I mean, he’s not wrong.
