Viktor Coming Up With The Absurdest Shit To Find Out Why His Crush Doesn't Want Him Will Never Not Be

I'M GONNA BITE SOMEONE

Info

When your idiot Coach makes you put on the most expensive designer suit and your Olympic jacket for a magazine photoshoot (And you ex buys said magazine)

(I can't handle 25y/o Yurio - or Coach Viktor being extra wanting to do a PR campaign before the Olympics to show off Yuri's new look.)

Made this second fanart linked to my series ''Winter Olympics of Broken Hearts 2026''

Okay, so this line?

Is not a direct translation.

It’s not wrong, I wouldn’t say - it’s just a different interpretation.

But the literal meaning is quite a bit darker.

Victor says 「自分の首を締める枷でもあった。」

“It also was a shackle closed around my neck.”

Like I said, the translation is not exactly wrong, but the original words make it clear that it made Victor feel like a prisoner, bound to his career/decisions against his will. You could even say that he felt like he was suffocating.

It paints a bit of a different picture, doesn’t it?

Quick sketch Yurio 20yrs

I should be doing other things but I needed my fix okay.

“Gazing up at the cherry tree, Yuuri was radiant in violet robes and a golden-yellow sash as he stood in a swirl of pink blossoms. Viktor wished he had a camera then; to preserve Yuuri’s unassuming beauty and keep it with him: under his jacket, close to his heart.”

I’m still obsessing over Zanka by the wonderful @dreaming-fireflies, so instead of working on deadline things, my brain wanted to doodle Yuuri/Aoyagi from her fic instead. 8D 

Amazingly, the Japanese font I used here was written by “Aoyagi Kouzan” - it was meant to be!

wild guess who wins more than 90% of their arguments

Flowers for you! 💐

A Yuri on Ice canon divergent fic where they’re both in the Olympic Village during the 2014 Winter Games and Yuuri is the guy going viral on social media due to his obsession with the chocolate muffins.

(With apologies to Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen, who has been taking us all on a very amusing journey on TikTok)

Viktor, reigning champion of going viral on social media during the Olympics for (but not limited to): being an obsessive dog dad, being GORGEOUS, being friendly with everyone and showing up in the background of multiple parties, the orgy rumour (fake), the other orgy rumour (not fake but super overblown), winning two consecutive golds in 2006 and 2010, walking outside shirtless (it was 5 degrees Celsius so not even cold), and currently for being in many of the Sochi Games ads.

But then the tags are being taken over by this very cute man eating a choccy muffin and exclaiming it the best muffin ever, following that up multiple muffin videos set to popular references.

[audio: mmmm whatchu saaay. visual: Yuuri then shoving the whole muffin in his mouth]

And Viktor doesn’t know who he is but needs to find out.

(cue comedy of errors where Viktor keeps coming across this Yuuri

instead of this Yuuri.

Chris is less than 0 help because he keeps looking horrified every time Viktor asks and looking over at this Yuuri

practicing like 5 feet away like ????? What the fuck Viktor.

And Viktor is spending way too much time in front of the dessert bar not to try the muffin at least once)
