Get To Know Me

Obligatory Pinned Post time!! Let’s go! (I totally used my partner in not only crime but in everything else’s pinned post for inspiration because I have no idea how to do these things, @hikarry this one’s for you <3)

Hello everyone :) You can call me Riya on here, it’s a shortened version of my full name which I will not reveal on here because bad bitches like me are mysterious (and I am too easily googleable which is just embarrassing really)

My pronouns are she/her

I live in the UK (it’s Chewsday innit)

I’m pretty sure I think about Yuri on Ice more than Kubo herself does, so as you can imagine (if the profile picture, banner and name of the blog wasn’t a dead give away) this is a Yuri on Ice blog! I live, breathe, eat and sleep Yuri on Ice, but you’ll also see me post the occasional Sk8, Harry Potter, Taylor swift, Ice skating and Miraculous Ladybug content. 

Please, please, PLEASE feel free to message me at any time and ask me absolutely anything! I want to get to know everyone as much as possible! I’m a bit of a rubbish replier sometimes, it might take me a good few hours but I’ll always respond :)

My Hogwarts house is Gryffindor!

That’s everything I can think of right now, I’m a bit of a boring person unfortunately. But I’ll try and keep you lot fed with Yuri on Ice content until MAPPA decides to grace us with Ice Adolescence (cannot wait to update this when it FINALLY decides to come out)

my first reaction was sadness for yuzuru seeing ilia’s 4A, but it was almost immediately replaced but more positive feelings. yuzu has landed it five times in practice, and i hope he’s the first to properly land it in competition- but regardless he’s inspiring other skaters and i’m very proud of both of them. i’m patiently waiting to see where ilia goes with his career- i just hope the world of figure skating is nice to him. it usually isn’t to rising stars like him.

[forevermorous]

a small but precious list of things that brought me joy these olympics:

donovan carrillo making the whole world fall in love with him. can't wait to see him in milan

roman sadovsky trying his best over and over and over and not giving up

mark's jesus cosplay taking the timeline by storm

keegan's smile and the wyatt photos in the kiss and cry

kevin aymoz's jumping, bounding celebration

jun. just. junhwan cha. what a beauty, what a wonder, what an effortlessly marvelous skater. juna bauer supremacy

jason's sinnerman on olympic ice

brief team cricket and team japan reunions backstage

jin boyang's happy tears after skating. his quad lutz remains unmatched and he remains an utter delight

shoma's season best score

yuma's very very infectious joy

yuzuru's smile when he got off the ice, making history at the olympics. his perseverance, passion, and perfection. his impossible, immaculate journey, and his certified quad axel.

Sometimes we forget Victor is a public figure and-

Imagine walking up to your local restaurant and seeing Robert Downey Jr. with his tiddies out, absolutely drunk out of his ass

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE is talking about joe locke’s incredible performance in heartstopper and it’s so upsetting to me!! he makes the show, there is something so inexplicably charlie about him that makes the two of them work together !! you can’t have nick without charlie and i think kit connor was just as wonderful and incredible but EVERYONE is ignoring the intricacies of charlie’s character that joe has so expertly weaved into little moments such as the anticipative fear and anxiety that hides within charlie!! playing a character like charlie is hard and he did a bloody brilliant job of it !! BASICALLY a joe locke appreciation post

p.s. i love kit connor’s performance just as much but i feel like the love needs to be more evenly spread

[bigdreamsnobrain]

yes kit connor is the perfect nick nelson, no arguments there, but i have not seen enough appreciation for how accurate joe locke is as charlie spring??? also william gao and yasmin finney ARE tao and elle and you can’t convince me otherwise. like how did they find the characters reincarnated in our universe

stop calling what is happening between israel and palestine a “conflict.” a conflict infers both sides have an equal power. what is happening in palestine shows none of that. this isn’t a conflict, it’s ethnic cleansing, oppression, and apartheid.

I think they should redub yuri on ice but like properly this time. Multilingual VAs. Native speakers. Yuuri and Viktor supposedly communicate in English. Cool. Let’s hear it. I want everyone speaking the languages their characters would be for each scene. Yuuri speaks Japanese with his family, English with Viktor. Viktor speaks Russian with Yurio. I wanna hear Phichit speaking Thai. Subtitles exist and are useful. I want authentic dubbing. I wanna hear real accents. Please.

Love, A.

Happy birthday to His Royal Highness Prince Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor ✨💕

you know I'm right

[hikarry-deactivated20230324]

I don't even want the movie yet, bruh. Just feed me some updates, babe

[caffeinated-aneki]

Sometimes I think back to the moment when Victor is practicing with Yuuri and he finds himself out of breath and tired while Yuuri wants to keep trying, and Victor speculates that Yuuri’s stamina is because he’s younger and hasn’t had major injuries, and it always makes me wonder what major injuries Victor had and recovered from throughout his career.

Like, we don’t hear anything mentioned about Victor having any major spills or disastrous programs, just that so many skaters looked up to him. And, sure, that’s partly due to the moments the narrations and internal thoughts of various characters focus on, but I wonder how much of that is because, whenever Victor was injured, he was pressured to recover quickly and continue as though he wasn’t seriously hurt. Or, if he did have an awful injury and it wasn’t downplayed, then it’s because it happened before he became Victor Nikiforov™

Yuuri was a Victor fanboy, so if Victor sustained a major injury after he became a well-known skater, surely Yuuri or one of the other skaters or even a coach would have mentioned it, or we’d have gotten a scene where Yuuri and Yuuko are crying while watching a press conference/interview or reading an article where Victor says he’s okay. (Yuuri seems like the type to write a ‘get well soon’ card and send it or maybe even be too nervous to send it, but I digress). So if Victor’s major injury was something he bounced back from while he was Victor Nikiforov™ surely someone would have said something along the lines of “If he can win gold after that ankle injury…” or even a commentator would’ve mentioned, “You might have forgotten when he hit the ice after that lutz in the short program when he was 15, and since then…” etc.

I’m rambling but I just wonder what injuries Victor had over the years, how bad they were, but mostly when he got them in the course of his career

[neutronice]

Unpopular opinion time!

Yuuri’s “let’s end this” made sense

Okay, hear me out. I don’t mean that it was the correct endgame or anything like that. “Let’s end this” was a wakeup call that Victor needed.

I watched the Barcelona arc a lot (a lot). And something that struck me was… Yuuri putting his hand on the ice on his SP broke him. His confidence got shattered again. He failed Victor. And he felt that so so starkly.

And Victor failed to pay enough attention. Where he succeeded in Beijing (trying to help Yuuri’s mental breakdown before the FP), he failed in Barcelona.

Yuuri was not yet confident in himself. He was not yet able to shake off his mistake.

And Victor was playing wistful skater, choosing to watch Yurio, Chris, and Otabek over taking Yuuri aside and trying to reassure him about how much coaching meant to him.

No wonder Yuuri decided that he needed to put Victor first, and set the wistful skater free to return to skating, pumping his all into proving that Victor’s coaching had been worth it for Victor to have done.

Yuuri put Victor first, and in the process made Victor have to face up to what he missed. What his not being open with Yuuri almost did. What his lack of experience had almost cost them both.

Then Yuuri rose to the challenge, because he is a magical cinnamon roll who was capable of reaching the stars on his talent, and he had found the perfect motivation: a swansong dedication to Victor.

Then Yurio, who could seemingly care less about Victor’s return to the ice, skated for his life so Yuuri couldn’t retire. Because Yuuri wasn’t willing to go out with a silver from Victor’s efforts. Victor’s efforts deserved gold.

Hopefully Victor took the lesson to heart too. Yuuri had not yet found the confidence of seeing his innate talent, and Victor now has a second chance to help him find it as his coach (and fiance).

I wonder if Katsuki stood on the top of the stage for Worlds that year… (and can’t thank Mizuno enough for the art we’ve been seeing to know that the katsudon is still going strong, skating for Team Japan!)
