I got "Tumblr is a hook-up app" to work for me! Yesterday I saw a post written by a trans woman saying she wanted to find male partners she could trust to see her as a woman but who might enjoy calling her a boy as a kind of sexual play, I offhandedly made a reply saying that I think I might be able to give her what she wants, the OP replied to me suggesting I approach her the next time I was in her area, apparently I might be able to give her something she finds really hot but doesn't get very often. That was not something I was expecting, but was a very pleasant surprise! A few rounds of DMing later and me and her have arranged a meeting for casual sex in June, when she already had plans to visit the approximate area I live in.

I asked her if it was OK if I posted about this and she said yes.

I was worried she might be put off when I disclosed that I'm a virgin, but it turned out she's OK with that. So, assuming all goes well, I've basically got an appointment to lose my virginity in three months! OMG SQUEE!

She's post-vaginoplasty/SRS. :dazzled heart-eyes:

If you're a pre-op/non-op trans woman reading this I don't mean to insult your body type, I just have a preference for partners with vulvas/vaginas (preference as in "all else being equal I am pretty sure I'd enjoy sex with a person with this feature more," it isn't a requirement for me to be attracted to somebody) and am happy that a person who wants to have sex with me has a body type congruent with this preference.

I wrote here that one of the biggest things I don't have and would like is an erotic life that sometimes involves having sex with one or more other people, lately to try to fix that I have resolved to try to be less timid about expressing sexual and romantic interest, and it looks like that's starting to pay off!

I spent yesterday evening in a better mood than I can remember being in in years. I've been wondering if I have depression or something but what I experienced yesterday made me wonder if my melancholy is mostly or entirely just shit life syndrome.

Tonight I will have a chicken katsu take-out meal for dinner, because it's the closest thing I can conveniently get to katsudon and the association of katsudon with victory is pleasing in this context.

Anyway, I generally had a really good day yesterday. When I was at the polling place to vote I ended up having a nice conversation with a college student who was ahead of me in the line. It started with me noticing her playing with a stim toy, asking if I could try it a little, and saying I'd never seen an autism symptom list I didn't see myself in, and we ended up comparing experiences of neurodivergence.

It would have been better if the election results were better, in particular I'm unsurprised but disappointed that Barbara Lee didn't get more votes, I had the good fortune to get to vote for her and she deserved to win IMO.

If the Katsuki-Nikiforovs ever took GQ Magazine's Couples's Quiz game...

...it would be an utterly sappy and unhinged rollercoaster, as I cover in Chapter 7 of my post-canon, Olympic-Games-focused Yuri!!! on Ice fic (which only has 4 chapters left until completion!). Yuuri, understandably, feels the need to profusely apologize to the GQ production staff for putting up with him and Viktor (plus the friends they'd invited to watch the filming, which includes Yurio and Christophe, among others).

Indeed, as I note Reddit user r/OohYouMakeMeFeel_369's reaction: "I laughed my ass off when I saw Yuuri's tweet a few hrs ago where he tagged the filming crew and promised to buy them some strong sake for putting up with them. And then, omg Viktor followed up by inviting them to Yutopia. My fav Russian continues to be #NumberOneHasetsuTourismAmbassador"

If you've watched any of the actual Couple's Quiz game series, you might note that they usually end the quiz with some form of the question: "What does your partner love most about you?"

Even though my fic is currently over 200K words, this scene is definitely in my top 3 favorites I've written, because it allowed me to try to capture how Yuuri and Viktor -- who, at this point, have been together for over 5 years, and married for nearly three -- perceive the other's love.

In particular, it allows you to see the traits that they've come to appreciate about themselves by way of the other's vantage point: something that was particular gratifying to create headcanons around as it pertains to Yuuri's increasing confidence through canon, which continues to grow as he and Viktor face life's challenges together. All in all, this chapter will give you the warm-fuzzies, and I believe you can still enjoy it even if you don't want to read the larger fic (though I do hope you'd give it a chance, especially if you are interested in seeing how their relationship might have evolved).

Below is an excerpt that I hope piques your interest in checking the story out. Note: as it gets closer to completion, I'll probably post more excerpts from the first 10 chapters, because I sort of sucked at promoting this fic when I first started posting it to ao3 back in November...lesson learned!

------

“Never mind their gross kissing,” Yurio loudly complained, throwing them a look of disgust as if they’d just insulted Potya. “What I want to know is what the score is now that Katsudon got all 3 right.”

Jamie answered almost immediately.

“Ok, remember: there’s still a final question for you both, which are big multi-pointers,” he called out, flipping a few pages of his clipboard. And, since neither of you have used your three hints, you could each get an additional three points when everything wraps up, if you decide not to use them. So with that disclaimer, Yuuri is currently in the lead, up by 1.5 points.”

Before Yuuri could outwardly celebrate his small leg-up, Chris piped up with a predictably suggestive comment. 

“Hmmm, I wonder if dear Yuuri will be able to maintain his lead? I believe he can, he’s always had such excellent stamina, after all…”

As his voice trailed off, Yura turned to face him with a pronounced scowl on his face. 

“You need new material, Giacometti. These two have been together for years: it’s time to show some damn evolution.” 

He then began to mutter under his breath, saying something that sounded like “resting on his fucking laurels, what a waste,” which made several people nearby laugh. The Ice Tiger had a bit of a point: stamina jokes were so 2017.

While Yuuri was pleased with his lead, he was slightly nervous around what Jamie and Tarneka had selected for their final questions. There had definitely been some bizarre ones nestled within the ‘bank’ of options the two co-producers had emailed them a few weeks back. As he’d filled out his answers and allocated the points for the thirty questions he was supposed to submit – having to eventually move to a different room away from Viktor, as they’d kept distracting one another with their snickering – he remembered barking out mildly hysterical laughter at a few of the options in the last category. 

“What might your life be like in a parallel universe?” had stumped him, and he wondered if his husband had been brave enough to pick that one out; it was the kind of wacky, philosophical question he adored.

“Only 1.5 points behind…that’s nothing,” Viktor spoke up, with a gleam in his eye. “Don’t get too comfortable, Mr. Katsuki-Nikiforov.”

“Sure thing, Mr. Katsuki-Nikiforov,” Yuuri lobbed back, only a split-second later, before slipping into focus mode and reaching for the last notecard.

Before he could lay a hand on it, however, his spouse called out to Tarneka and Jamie.

“Are you able to dock points for intimidating the competition?” he asked, sounding put-out. 

Yuuri blinked, unsure as to what he was insinuating.

“You have on your very eros nothing-can-stop-me face, and I won’t be able to concentrate if I’m too distracted by how hot you look,” Viktor continued on in Russian, furrowing his eyebrows, cutely. 

Powerless against the giggles that burst forth, he clapped a hand over his mouth as he watched his love’s eyes begin to narrow. 

“You can’t be serious, Vitya,” Yuuri wheezed, following Viktor’s lead and switching to Russian. “This is just my face! It’s not like I’m doing anything on purpose.”

Yuuri missed the ensuing retort amidst the sound of Tarneka’s ask to Yura for a translation of their back-and-forth: a request the Ice Tiger very firmly denied.

“Trust me, you’re better off not knowing,” he griped, before marching over to stand near them, just out of the camera frame. 

“Get a grip, old man!” he hissed in Russian, staring daggers at Viktor. “This thirsty idiot act may have been acceptable a few years ago, but the time is long past for you to realize that the person you married is just a man. For fuck’s sake, Katsudon isn’t some god.”

Viktor visibly bristled at these words, and Yuuri mentally prepared himself to intervene.

“I resent that, Yura,” his husband replied, loftily. “My Yuuri is divine; he’s not ‘just’ anything! Did you even see his Sports Week magazine cover? When I saw the final proofs, I almost fainted: all the blood in my body began to rush straight to m– ”

“Mmmmmph!”

What did you eat yesterday? きのう何食べた？ S2 Ep 3

This has become the "oh right I still have this to catch up with!" show for me and I love it.

we started out in June and now it's October already

aaah going out on a date as married as they can get! I love them

omg Halloween party?! gotta give it to Shirou-san, I would not have clocked that either

that fish looks delicious but I'm not sure about the ginger like this--

OKAY I TAKE IT BACK here comes the oil I was missing! idk that I'd heat sesame oil that much (I'd use smoking-hot neutral oil and add a little sesame oil at the end, after the hot oil has been poured over the fish?) but ANYWAY. very much the Japanese version of a Chinese dish, I'd still try that if I could get the fish.

I BET THAT'S WHY HE CALLS HIM "GILBERT" oh my GOD. No words.

ooof the parental disownment just hits every fucking time. some parents are just awful.

asdfasdf hi Shirou-san thanks for validating my realisation.

oh these new-fangled burial sites? memorial halls? not even sure how to call them but I feel like they're a neat solution. Also the "talking about death with parents" is … very real (and a good convo to have, talk to your parents about this shit if you're close at all! I promise it'll make it easier when the time comes, one thing less to decide during a difficult time)

Kenji's so flamboyant and I really love that.

Katsudon? I bet he's making katsudon

oh god please take that off the plastic before putting it in the toast-- okay phew

oh Kenji, you're gonna get in trouble with Shirou-san for messing up his careful meal planning :'D can't blame him though. this looks delicious

CALLED IT

Shirou-san is growing and learning so much, and it's hard for him but he's trying and I love that so much.

!!! SHE INVITED THEM TO SHARE THEIR BURIAL SITE?!? wow wow WOW Kakei-mum, that's big.

next week preview worries me the tiniest bit, but only the tiniest bit because these two are good at working on their relationship and getting better and better at talking things out.

sweet rue how are you lately? what’s your fave food?

Omg hi!!! You know it's been a mixed bag lately, but we're pushing through, were surviving and smiling LOL How have you been?

My favorite food is actually the same as Deku's LOL katsudon, my most beloved. But i love any sort of dumping or pasta!!

[wickerfemme]

Ooh, you mentioned chicken karaage, but katsudon is one of my favorite comfort foods! Heavy, filling, fried, and makes you feel all warm inside!

Omg, yeah!! Love a katsu.

[avo-kat]

its just sooooo funny how one episode literally turned viktor from a crazy weirdo into an actually normal guy who acts pretty rationally???

like

imagine getting fucking seduced by the hottest piece of ass whos giving u the BEST pole dance in the world

who then basically commands u to come with him to japan and become his trainer??

and yes sure yuuri was drunk, but what guy can be so extremely drunk and still dance so hard? obviously yuuri remembers!

but viktor isnt actually insane, and yuuri didnt give him his number or whatever, so he figures, okay, guess yuuri didnt mean it and resumes with his life

and THEN

a few months later

a video of said skater breaks the internet who skates HIS routine, who skates it so BEAUTIFULLY and PERFECTLY

and its a fucking SIGN, begging viktor to come and be his coach

so viktors finally like, omg alright! i get it!

and flies to japan

and who does he meet?

a withdrawn, mumbling guy whos nothing like the guy who seduced him? and viktor is confused but, bless his heart, he tries SO HARD. he couldnt have been mistaken! yuuri seduced him! he seduced him so hard!

so he tries his best to answer enthusiastically, but somehow??? nothing happens??? and viktor is confused???

and then his little junior comes and tells him hey, he was supposed to train mini yuri

so viktor is in a dilemma. on one hand, yuuri is amazing, and admitting he somehow misunderstand all these signs and going back would be weird and also yuuri is hot and great and amazing, but he promised mini yuri....

so he makes them compete!!! so yuuri has to make a decision and SHOW him he actually wants viktor there and to coach him!

and viktor gives yuuri the theme eros, cuz, DUH!?!?!?

but yuuri is playing all coy and picking katsudon as his inspiration?

and viktor is prob wondering whyyyy the fuck yuuri is fucking with him so much. but like, ok, contest, and then viktor will know for sure, right?

and yuuri does BEAUTIFULLY. he answers viktor. viktors knows.

somehow, yuuri is actually shy and doesnt say it like he did back then at the banquet, but thats ok, now viktor knows that yuuri does want it.

anyway. its so beautiful

[a-lilypad]

what is a dish you really want to make in the future

OKAY OMG so there’s loads of different meals i want to cook (im gonna start meal planning properly for this semester so i don’t end up burning out and having instant noodles every day like i did last semester)

BUT!!! i really want to make katsudon and paella

paella has been one of my favourite foods since i was only just able to eat solids and then i tried katsudon at this tiny hole in the wall food place a few weeks ago and it was SO GOOD (i think i sent u a pic it was insane i felt like id died and ascended to heaven)

so i really want to try and make them myself
