There cannot be a World War III not just simply because it would be a worldwide disaster, but also because it would mean that “yuri on ice - ice adolescence” would never be released.
We’ve already waited so long, we can’t have both MAPPA and the world conspiring to stop the release.

Victor x Yuuri is the superior ship
yes
Viktor’s love language being physical affection- and acts of service- is the cutest and saddest shit ever
We’re taking about a boy who grew up too fast and with too much autonomy to be healthy
He was barley a teen when he became a world famous skater
He had the weight of his nation, of the public, of his coach and, most importantly, of himself, on his shoulders
We don’t know what’s up with Viktor’s parents but I think it’s safe to say they weren’t really there for him
And Yakov clearly got a soft spot for him but he’s not really into physical affection
Not to mention that with fame comes isolation, we’d be right to assume Viktor probably didn’t have lots of friends. Much less physically affectionate ones
He was always by himself, it was always him and Makka against the world
He got where he is by himself and with virtually no help (except for coaching but you get what I mean)
He probably had a personal, steady income since he was a teen, and he probably moved to live alone very early in life
He’s accustomed to being his only crutch and doing everything on his own
Because of this is so so heartwarming that his love language manifests as the two things he never really got from others: Physical affection and Acts of Service.
AND THE FACT THAT HE LIKES YUURI ENOUGH TO TRY TO SHOW HIM THROUGH HIS LOVE LANGUAGE WHAT HE MEANS TO VIKTOR
AND THE FACT THAT YUURI RESPONDS IN KIND
THEYRE SOULMATES YOUR HONOUR
Thank yo for coming to my Ted talk
i’ll be damned if this isn’t a yuuri/victor wedding song
Congratulations, Yuuri!
Back then, Yuri thought Viktor will never see colors because he would never fell in love with him.
This man needs therapy so badly. Someone please give him a hug
Will I ever get tired of drawing these two in pretty clothing? I think not.
new YOI official art….and as always, the attention to detail for little figure skating references from MAPPA blows me away, and i need everyone to appreciate it too. welcome to yuuri katsuki’s 2022 beijing olympics!
to start, this is very clearly the official beijing rink; even without the logo or rings (which would have been too much of a hassle to use copyright-wise, i’m sure, but would also take away from the subtlety), it’s very clear from the colors and the mountain pattern, as seen here behind nathan chen:
next, victor is wearing the official team japan jacket, as seen here on team japan’s singles skaters yuma kagiyama (left, silver medalist in the men’s individual event) and shoma uno (right, bronze medalist):
…as far as i know, however, only skaters got team japan jackets, not their coaches. which means victor is wearing yuuri’s jacket. cuuuute.
next up, yurio’s practice outfit has to be based off of skater andrei mozalev of the russian olympic committee:
…so since yurio here is being based on mozalev, naturally, mappa chose to put yakov in the same coat that kirill davydenko, mozalev’s coach, wore at the boards!
i’m sure that otabek’s practice clothes and the mysterious ass-haver’s are a reference to something as well. since the tragic death of skater denis ten of kazakhstan, whom otabek is based on, there hasn’t been a strong enough kazakhstani men’s skater to make it to the olympics, but these are probably practice clothes denis ten wore once upon a time, or something!
finally, this last one isn’t a reference to the olympics in YOI–rather, the opposite! the makkachin tissue box seen next to victor was seen at the olympics, used by skater alexandra trusova of ROC!
so what is yuuri pointing at and looking so mad about? personally, i think he’s probably upset about the hole in the ice that made him pop a quad salchow…
but we may never know.
