(for @yoituuri and @starryfeathers. I accidentally deleted this whole thing once so hopefully it doesn’t happen again/ it’s not rushed. I hope you enjoy you two, and anybody else who reads this!)

I made a post about my favorite boy Victor not too long ago, and I mentioned a shot in passing that I really loved, but because it wasn’t the focus of the post, I didn’t go into it. I would like to now. Here it is:

This is the first glimpse of Victor we get within canon. Well, beyond the opening sequence with Yuuri watching Victor skate as they grow up but I think we can all agree that was outside of canon and can be discarded here.

Anyway.

It’s a damn good first glimpse. As you’ve probably already noticed, Victor’s eyes are covered. Deliberately. Dude fuckin does a twirl and the camera is framed in such a way that we don’t get to see his eyes until he looks up for the cameras. That’s an interesting touch, for several reasons. 

First, when a character’s eyes are not visible, it implies something is hidden within them. A trait, motivation, true emotions, etc etc. 

Secondly, the fact that we can’t see Victor’s eyes until he turns to the cameras with that fake-ass media smile. In this scene, we’re being treated as the public. Victor is immediately hiding from us and the rest of the world. You know, something he does all the goddamn time.

Victor is scarily good at masking. For those who don’t know what I mean, masking is the act of hiding one’s true personality, desires, and/or emotions to conform to society. I mask due to past trauma. Victor masks to meet public expectation. 

You’ve probably guessed already that masking is incredibly unhealthy–it’s repression, after all. If it gets bad enough, you’ll stop knowing where masking ends and you begin. Sometimes it takes me months to figure out how I feel about something because I need to sort through so many layers of masking and anxiety and doubt. It’s really difficult sometimes. 

We see tons of lovely examples of Victor masking throughout the show. Here are a few off the top of my head: 

(^absolutely terrified vitya trying to be smooth)

(^living up to his press image)

(^so incredibly upset on so many levels but he doesn’t dare show it)

(^pissed enough that yuuri picks up on it. and then acts dishonestly w/ yuuri by trying to come off as pleasant)

(i love that yuuri is comfortable enough by this point to call victor out on his bs. if you’re gonna get mad, get mad) 

(you can actually see Victor’s hand shake if you watch the scene. boy is so pissed and he’s holding it in)

etc etc. 

Victor is actually incredibly reserved in all the emotions he shows, especially if it’s anger or sadness. For most of the series, he only lets himself go in front of Yuuri or alone. Victor hides from himself, he hides from Yuuri, and it helps no one in the end. 

The beach sequence, actually, is important to this idea too. As we know, Victor asks Yuuri what he wants them to be. 

And then he lists off all these options before essentially asking to go out with him, but in a way that says he’s too scared to do it outright.

Now, this is partially to gauge Yuuri’s feelings towards him, but it’s also highly revealing of Victor’s self-worth. He’s willing to put on any mask, any persona to be with Yuuri. Yuuri, of course, doesn’t want this at all. 

🚨 HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP ALERT!🚨

And looking at Victor’s reaction (guarded surprise)

This may be the first time Victor has been asked to just be himself. 

So if Victor was a world champion at 16

(boy is 15-16 in that article)

He must have been skating for a while beforehand. We can probably approximate by saying he started competitions around the time Yuri did, which I estimate to be about 12-13. However, Victor does say this 

And if we’re to believe him, 27-20=7, and therefore something happened at the age of 7 to force Victor into backing away from others and working himself to the bone. Uhm, wow. I don’t know how accurate it is to say that, but regardless, he’s been in the public eye for a long fuckin time. 

Victor has spent this long fuckin time building an image: elegance, confidence, charming yet untouchable. The perfect playboy, in a way. This is the person he presents to the public. I think he’s been masking like this for so long he forgot that this isn’t who he is–Victor has the ability to be all those things, but it’s not who he is. Victor is excitable, bubbly, caring, vulnerable, depressed, lonely, hardworking…Yuuri, by asking Victor to be himself, released a metaphorical floodgate on Victor’s emotions. He’s broken that carefully crafted persona. 

Victor is now publicly goofy and affectionate

(i love how he hides his face a little here…how cute and shy while showing off that he’s yuuri’s)

And can drop his composure comfortably 

(also vitya always wears gloves to competitions until they get the rings and then victor keeps the gloves off completely :v) 

I love that Victor’s relationship with Yuuri has allowed him to find himself again, and peel away those masks to live and breathe and love as he was always meant to.

[linneakou]

Fourteen-year-old Victor Montgomery toils away in his own home at the whim of his not-so-nice stepmother and his two nasty step-brothers, and spends all his free time working at his late father’s ice rink, all the while dreaming of being able to skate in the upcoming exhibition and crushing on hometown hero, figure skating World Champion Yuuri Katsuki. He’s just trying to survive high school until he can finally escape his stepfamily’s house.

When his online friend, whom he only knows by his username “bravep0rk,” convinces him to sign up, Victor assumes a brand-new identity. He’ll need the help of his closest friends to enter the show in secret and pull together a program sure to impress any online admirer– but his stepmother isn’t going to let him achieve his goals so easily, and it turns out that bravep0rk has some secrets of his own…

I will never be over how Yuri on Ice is a fucking master class in story telling

Like take the fact that Yuuri is an unreliable narrator. They start the first episode with the commentators saying “he didn’t perform to the level that we expect from him” they pretty much say his “failure” was abnormal for Yuuri

Then we have Yuuri’s take and even when he is pulling himself a part the visuals prove he’s an unreliable narrator. We actually see that he is the face of figure skating for the JSF as he calls himself a “dime a dozen” skater

So the show had barely begun and we know 1. Yuuri has low self esteem and 2. His view of himself does not match how other people view him

That’s reinforced a lot as well without being hamfisted. The posters at the train station, Minako saying how excited everyone is to see him, how viral the video of him goes (if he was really was a nobody I doubt anyone would have really cared)

The first episode establishes that Yuuri is an unreliable narrator so well that you just understand it without thinking about why you understand that until later

Then you have the twist reveal in episode 10 which like any good twist makes you go “omg everything makes sense now” instead of “wtf?”

Victor coming on so strong. Why everyone including Celestino were so cold about Victor coaching Yuuri, why Chris grabbed Yuuri’s ass and so much more suddenly made perfect fucking sense

And how Yuuri’s anxiety is written

How he appears cold or rude when he’s scared and nervous. How he knows when his anxiety is lying to him but can’t stop it affecting him.

And really I could go on. The biggest issue they had was that they probably had more story then they had time for but since the focus was on Yuuri’s career I think they made good choices and the time skips that showed Victor and Yuuri getting closer over time worked

Also their relationship is still just one of the most sensitively written real relationships I have ever seen in any media

This is why I’m excited to see what they bring to the movie because let’s be honest they could have crapped something out a lot faster and we all would have bought it but this is a team that takes a shit ton of pride and care in their work and they clearly want to do it right. And I can’t see what master class they come out with for Ice Adolescence

imagining bedtime in the katsuki-nikiforov household

10pm

at around 10, they’re probably already settled in bed underneath the covers. they’re now at a point where they’re secure enough with themselves that they don’t need to cuddle 24/7, so they’re left to their own devices– literally. Yuuri’s on his 3DS in the middle of trying to catch an Alolan Vulpix. Victor’s scrolling through his ig feed. Both are still madly in love with each other.

11pm

Victor’s already asleep by now, his breathing evened out and one leg on top of Yuuri’s. Yuuri still can’t be bothered- it’s an Alolan Exeggutor this time.

12am

Victor’s a generally a restless sleeper and moves a lot in bed, so by now, his arms are hooked around Yuuri’s stomach like clingwrap. Yuuri’s now engrossed on his own ig feed, unconsciously placing a hand on top of a sleeping victor’s head, playing with the silver strands. Yuuri checks the clock and is surprised it isn’t 3am yet. 

1am

Victor starts snoring. Yuuri giggles- this never gets old. He nonchalantly laces his fingers with Victor’s and places a kiss on the other man’s hand as he goes through his routine videos on his phone.

3am

Yuuri tries to get some shut-eye and settles underneath the covers, snuggling close to Victor. Victor’s dead to the world but reciprocates, burying his nose gingerly in Yuuri’s hair. He dreams good dreams.

4am

They’re a tangled mess of limbs underneath what’s left of the sheets. Victor has kicked his part towards the edge of the bed, and is now lying flat on his back with Yuuri sound asleep in the same position he was an hour ago, head still placed on the crook of Victor’s neck.

5am

Victor shifting so that he’s on his side. Yuuri spooning Victor (who’s still snoring and still adorable). The sheets are almost on the floor and it’s nearing winter, but they’ve never been warmer.

7am

Victor stirs, sees a sleeping Yuuri next to him and smiles. It’s a Sunday and he knows trying to wake his husband up this early is a lost cause. He stretches, gets ready for the day and takes Makkachin out for a walk, preparing breakfast for him and Yuuri shortly after.

9am

He’s flipping pancakes when he feels Yuuri lazily snake his arms around his waist. This, too, never gets old. He greets his husband with a good morning kiss; Yuuri’s never been a morning person so he reciprocates with a groan, and Victor chuckles. “I love you,” he says, and Yuuri tightens his arms around Victor’s waist. “I love you too.” he mumbles lazily, but means every word of it, every syllable. He smiles and gives Victor a peck on the cheek and it doesn’t get any better than this, they both think to themselves as Yuuri starts preparing the plates and the maple syrup.
