#i miss you yuri on ice

[leafyycereal]

The airport scene from yuri on ice changed me i think .. like the inability to keep their eyes off of each other while they run to each other, THE HUG, “i hope you never retire”… nothing compares to them i swear to god. They’re so in love im so ill over them .

I drew them at the time the anime was on emission, it's an old piece but I love how it turned out.

Maybe I should redraw too?

wait what the fuck was the yuri on ice arbys ad

Oh I'm so glad you asked :)

So right after YOI ended, there were a surprising (to me) number of companies that had subtle references to YOI in their Valentine's Day ads in 2017

Arby's was one of them

(I was genuinely surprised this was still up after so long)

Apparently, Arby's had a lot of anime references in their social media marketing at the time

There's also this Royce chocolate ad with letters from Victor and Yuuri to each other for Valentine's and White Day, which is absolutely adorable

#anyway #thanks for the ask! #anon ask #sorry if you were expecting something crazy anon 😅 #it was definitely crazy to me at the time #my favorite anime being acknowledged by huge companies the year after it finishes? impossible #god i miss 2016-18 yoi fandom #yoi #yuri on ice #yuri!!! on ice #victuuri #i don't remember any other ads #i think the rest was just freaking out every time an irl figure skater acknowledged yoi lmao

[black-ish-bird]

Yuri on ice is trending on Tumblr... For a sec I was like has ice adolescence resurrected...!!!? No. Maybe in an alternate reality. Nevertheless our love lives on.

EVERYONE BADK UP DASH IS YURI ON ICE POSTING AGAIN!!!!!

Yuri on ice is so important to me because it was one of the first things that really showed me queer people as just people existing. Like yes yuri and viktors relationship is a big part of the show but it’s not the main plot. The main plot is Yuri overcoming his anxiety and trying to win gold at the Grand Prix. Yuri and Viktors casual displays of affection toward each other (while they may feel very loud and out there) were so important to me as a young queer in 2016. Seeing their relationship be something serious and not a throwaway gag really ignited something in me and it’s just so special. They’re so in love I’m SICK!!

We lost both Yuri and Ice as well as the Watcher today. RWBY better not be cancelled and given a new home and the Madoka Magica movie Walpurgisnacht Rising better release this year, because I cannot take anymore of this soul-crushing disappointment.

#yuri on ice #the watcher #rwby #madoka magica #rip to the fallen #you shall forever be missed #i hope we get something good to make up for this horrible day

🍒 I can’t get over the fact that Johnny is retiring from performing on ice next year.

I don’t know about you but it’s hurting me 🥺

Thank you Johnny. I will always love you and your art!

when i say that yuri on ice consistently puts out some of the best fanfic i've read, i mean it. I've read through a fair bit of the old fandom behemoths, harry potter and star wars and marvel and naruto and all of them have great fics, whether it be a 5k crackfic or a canon rewrite with a word count of 1 mi but there's something about the yoi fandom that's completely insane when it comes to fic. It's so good

#you wouldn't understand from going through my bookmarks imo because i do prefer shorter lighthearted fics generally to reread #but they're so so so good #i was too young for star trek and i still haven't watched it #yuri on ice! #yoi #fanfiction #before the jkr shit in the last couple years i read hp fic for almost two decades #and if you weren't in hp you don't know-have no way of comprehending- the sheer volume that pertains to but there's yoi fic that easily #is better than some of the hp fics ive read #which is insane because yoi's only been around since 2016 and doesn't even have a second season and the movie's been on hold for years #while hp is a global force that changed fan communities #anyway ive said this all before but i was catching up on some yoi fic ive missed #and #fuck

cannot get over that one Yuri on ice scene where Yuri is searching for inspiration and he goes "katsudon! that's what Eros is for me" while. while Viktor has shamelessly flirted with him, showed up naked in front of him multiple times, literally been waiting for Yuri to make a move after the party and just. Eros, erotic love. katsudon.

on the ubiquity of the word ‘bride’ in fanfiction, regardless of gender, and the role it has in reflecting the biases of wider society.

Alright. This is applicable to a lot of fandoms (and I mean a LOT, especially m/m), so I thought I’d address it. To be honest, I started attempting to say something about this back in January, but the extreme deconstruction of gender that I was initially going to discuss required a level of understanding and nuance that I really hadn’t achieved yet. I’m certainly not saying that I’ve achieved it now, but I think a more simplified version of what I wanted to say will get the point across a little better.

An innumerable amount of times in fandom content, whenever the more ‘feminine-coded’ character (for lack of any other better way to put it) is promised/engaged to the love interest, they’re generally referred to as their ‘bride’. Even, and sometimes especially, if the ‘bride’ in question is male. And this rubs me the wrong way for a number of reasons.

Firstly, and mainly, it really plays into gender roles and gender stereotypes. Casting a character in the moulds of ‘bride’ or ‘wife’ to connote them ‘more feminine’, ‘less dominant’, or especially as having a lack of agency in regards to their own marriage reinforces the beliefs that women, and by extension, those who are more feminine, have inherently less agency in a marriage than men or those who are more masculine do. It also forces non-heterosexual characters to be viewed through a lens of heteronormativity - like shoving your dolls in boxes they don’t fit into. This also has spillover effects into the way we view non-heterosexual relationships in our communities - we equally shove these people into neat labels and boxes and gender roles and stereotypes where they don’t necessarily belong, because we’re used to seeing, consuming and producing media which portrays them in this way. 

It’s the same for sexual dynamics. The ‘top’ doesn’t always have to be the more masculine-coded character, and the ‘bottom’ doesn’t need to always be the more feminine-coded one - isn’t that unimaginative? Why continue to play into heteronormativity, when it really isn’t like that in real life? M/M fandom is especially guilty of that one, I find - why continue to put the same characters in the same roles where you could instead explore the interplay of gender and sexuality in a more nuanced way? 

Writing and characterising your blorbos in fanfiction like this may seem harmless and self-indulgent, but it’s important to consider that the language that you use to elucidate connotations and characterisations can serve as a showcase of your biases, and should be examined once in a while. 

I mean, just take a look at our lovely ‘feminist’ nutcase JK Rowling, for example. Even in Harry Potter her biases are revealed through the way she demonises hyper-femininity (unless the women in question are mothers)— she ridicules Petunia Dursley, the Veela, Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Rita Skeeter, even the lovely Fleur Delacour (who Ginny constantly called Phlegm), and the main antagonist of Book 5 is a woman who adores pink and wears a bowtie in her hair. JK Rowling was one of the reasons I spent my tween years thinking it was cool to hate pink and demonise femininity and be ‘not like the other girls, rather quirky and intelligent’. I’ve gone on a tangent here, but this is why it’s so important to know how to consume ‘problematic media’ critically - deconstructing exactly why something is problematic can teach you so much about the use of language as a subtle weapon, and can help you look out for it later in the different ways news is reported and framed. (I was taught this in high school Social Studies, and it remains one of the most important things I’ve ever learnt.)

So back to what I was saying. To cast characters as more submissive/having less agency/weaker and to ascribe all these traits simultaneously to femininity - isn’t that too archaic?

Let’s move forward from the stereotype that women and traditional femininity are in any way lesser, one fanfic at a time.  

#what's up losers its me back with another analysis #except this is applicable to just about every fandom I've ever participated in and then some #mdzs #tgcf #svsss #genshin impact #my meta #harry potter #haikyuu!! #bnha #yuri!!! on ice #yeah when I say every fandom ever I really mean it #if you put bride in the ao3 search bar the first result is m/m lmao #if you want words that have similar connotations of a lack of agency etc why not 'betrothed' or 'promised'? #tag more fandoms if you think of any that I've missed that this also applies to! #blorbos #fanfiction #archive of our own
