VERY old and uncooked au I have where Viktor (and eventually jayce) end up working for Silco.

(Edited on December 17th, 2024. Added Sky to the plot, edited the way the heist happens, explained a bit more about The Herald, generally added some other details)

PART 1 - VIKTOR (childhood, adolescence, survival)

Singed actually takes the child in. Yeah I know Viktor technically HAS parents but we've never seen em in the show so I'm ignoring them

So Viktor now lives + works for singed. He gets over his morals real quick when faced with a fully equipped laboratory. He's a child, okay? He gets excited and is eventually groomed (I don't mean romantically, just like molded) by singed into agreeing + obeying all the things the older man tells him. Silco joins in on the part later and toys with his brain as best as he can

Singed uses him as a bargaining chip with Silco. An investment, if you will.

A bit of a "future promise" thing. Viktor actually agrees to this because he knows it's the best shot he's got. All the years living alongside Singed have made him into a more cynical/realistic person. He's 13 and already grumbles at "kids these days"

And Silco is an opportunistic man. He looks at this young, blooming genius and goes "yeah, why not? He is your problem, though. Have some money and make me a bomb"

Viktor also gets a pretty decent gun and shooting lessons. His aim is decent enough. He also hangs around sevika A LOT. He recognizes her as the strongest, safest individual if a fight breaks out and tells her ad much. She won't admit it but the praise feels good. She allows him to hover around and he helps her with small things like lighting hee cigarettes or refilling her flask. It's a symbiotic relationship where they both look at each other dead in the eye when someone is saying stupid shit.

So Viktor is like 15 and suddenly faced with even MORE power and recognition, even MORE fundings and accomodations.

This boy pours his life and time into making weapons. His dreams of being a scientist are slowly forgotten as both Singed and Silco effectively turn him into their perfect little genius.

They turn his desire to help against himself, telling him that the only way the under city will ever get better is if they go against piltover and win (which yeah I mean it kinda makes sense) and just general promises and such

Silco is genuinely surprised by how inventive the kid can be, and in return Viktor appreciates the man's offers and words for what it is: a trap he's wilfully walking in.

Silco does NOT feel any affection for the kid. At least not a lot more than he does for sevika or any other loyal worker. He is amused by his intelligence and somewhat entertained by his ideas. He seems Viktor as more of a small dog he's raising, expecting him to develop sharper and sharper fangs. He does care for Viktor in the "one of my youngest workers is more efficient and savvy than five of yours" way

Viktor doesn't feel any affection for Silco, either. He's a really down-to-earth kid, has lived in the fissures all his life and has been coached by singed into how to navigate the under city. He knows singed doesn't really trust the man and doesn't plan on doing so himself. He does love the opportunity he's given, but knows damn well that it's all done for a higher reason.

He does feel a connection with singed, though. It's mutual in a way. More of a mentor-mentee thing than any paternal/familiar relationship, but they're both satisfied with it. Singed respects Viktor and treats him as an equal, which also means he can a bit too harsh on what is essentially still a fragile teen.

They are protective of Viktor only in the way one is protective of their own gun

PART 2 - VIKTOR (last of his teen years, young adulthood, rage)

EVENTUALLY Viktor manages to worm his way into the academy (in the same way he did in canon) while hiding from Silco, Singed and Sevika, and is, instead, rejected. Heimerdinger is too weary of Viktor and his general attitude (for a good reason) and plans on having him interrogated. When he tries to get Viktor to walk alone into a room with him, Viktor panics and starts stuttering out explanations. He knows his position in the under city is conditional. Knows the leash that Silco has around him. The academy could be his safe haven and now he's losing it.

He's also fake-dating Sky while this goes on. Except she's fully convinced they're gonna get married and Viktor is a Homosexual™

Heimerdinger does his best to try and calm him down, however, every word he says makes the situation worse. He's so clearly out of touch, promising things that could never be done.

Viktor is under a lot of pressure and just starts spiraling. Everything the yordle says makes things worse and worse. The commotion calls the school guards attention and Viktor gets almost thrown in jail, all while heimerdinger tries to tell the guards to let him go. Viktor eventually manages to sneak out but fucks his leg up even more in the process.

Sky tries to help, they have a horrible fight and essentially roast each other until they're both kinda crying. Sky cries the most.

He returns "home" and, refusing to be taken back for such a thing, turns his sadness into bright, burning indignation. Silco might be an idiot, he realizes, but he's right about some things. He burns down the uniform after ripping it into shreds.

After all of this, he abandons any dream of ever getting out. Singed looks at him knowingly, tells him that sneaking around is a fine art he hasn't mastered yet, and leaves. Silco welcomes him back with a satisfied smile, and a "see, boy? I was right"

Silco isn't killing Viktor for his betrayal because he smells the heartbreak and KNOWS that this is the time to attack if he wants that boy to be on his side for the rest of his life. Sevika isn't even mad. Just kinda disappointed.

And it WORKS. Viktor is devastated and isolated, and Silco effectively positions himself as the only current logical option. Viktor knows that this is all a shit show but decides that there's nothing to lose by working for the biggest kingpin in the city

This is what begins his transformation as The Machine Herald, or "Herald" for short. His leg is Fucked Up and Singed goes "hey how about I do an unsupervised surgery on you" and Viktor just kinda goes "yeah well why not". He wakes up with more wires than veins in that leg but it hurts a lot less so. Can't win them all can we?

Years go by, Viktor becomes part of silco's inner gang, since Silco is finally sure that this boy has nowhere to run, no one to ask for help. He develops what could be seen as a friendship with sevika. They drink together every so often, trash-talking the rest of the henchmen in hushed whispers in between assignments. She tries to give him life advice in cryptic ways. He kinda gets it. Most of the time.

He makes up with sky and become Best Friends™. In a way. When they're not trying to get each other to come back to Zaun/Piltover

He keeps sky a secret from them all in fear of... Well, of whatever the fuck they could try and do to her if they got mad at him.

He's also a bit of a slut. I mean he's young, hot, kinda part of Zaun's elite, smart... yeah he's getting around. This part is important I swear. No it's not I just want Viktor to get it on. He's constantly sneaking pretty boys in and out of wherever he's staying at that week which is why no one really questions Jayce (see, it was important) the first few days he's in his house after The Trial (idk where the fuck sevika sleeps. Do silco's henchmen just sleep in his house??? Does he provide apartments?? I need to know)

People in the under city actually start talking to Viktor as he gets older, realizing that he's a bit less violent than the rest of silco's thugs and they have a 50/50 shot that he will actually help them in their pleas. This is always weird to him but he endures it for the sake of staying on top of what's being said in the city. And he's also generally a kind soul deep down

He buys from benzo frequently, and Benzo tolerates him because once, very slowly and in a hushes tone, he heard Viktor tell Ekko to never work for anyone with a shark aquarium.

Viktor is quite fond of Ekko. If Silco didn't basically own his soul, he would definitely take the kid in. Which is why he eventually becomes the biggest timebomb advocate.

PART THREE - MEETING JAYCE.

He's in Benzo's shop when he meets jayce.

He goes "yeah I could get him to suck me off probably" and tries to approach

And then jayce pays in GOLD and DOESN'T HAGGLE

And he realizes that this idiot is a piltie. He also realizes that whatever the fuck he just bought and the whole projects he's talking about could be useful for him and silco will not like it if a PILTIE out of everyone outsmarts him in weapon creation. He literally gets in between him and the door with absolutely no idea of what he's going to do (there is absolutely no way he's upping that payment sorry silco you are no match for the Kirammans)

There is no time and he defaults to "oh this is not my bedroom!" mode.

Cue him saying something like "I've never seen such a pretty face in this store. Are you from around here, darling?"

Ekko is gagging in the background.

They flirt yada yada I have the scene but it's too long to write here. U get the idea. I'd anyone wants to read that ask me but for now just use your imagination

Viktor offers Jayce to come back with him to his house for "protection" because "these streets are sooo cruel for foreigners" and Ekko hypes him up. "Oh Yeah Herald here is So Strong and Everyone Respects Him" which is technically not a lie. Jayce gets overwhelmed and accepts. As this is happening the kids are staging the heist but it has not happened yet. Don't ask me about timelines idgaf

They make out a bit, Jayce tells Viktor all about his theory (which is arguably hotter for Viktor) and shows him his notes (because obviously he carries his journal with him)

Viktor is BLOWN AWAY by this. He gets all worked up. Never felt this horny before. They discuss for a while, and Viktor decides that THIS is something he can stand behind. Actual discoveries, not just drawing blueprints after blueprint of the same fucking thing

Really how many ways can one design a weapon in

Anyways

Viktor sort of mildly drugs jayce and steals three of the shiny orbs and then wakes Jayce up and tells him that this was delightful and such.

PART FOUR - Hey Silco Can We Adopt This Boy. For Science

The heist happens the very same way. Viktor hears about it, about the trial, and decides that all these years of work should get him some privileges

He goes "If you're going to change the world, don't ask for permission" and just goes to save Jayce. Originally I had him argue with Silco and Singed to allow him to do this here but yk what? This man is too impulsive to do that. He's breaking his man OUT with two bribed bodyguards and Janna on his side. Sky is 100% on board because she kinda knows Jayce and he's really nice so she doesn't want them to banish him.

Viktor breaks jayce out do NOT ask me how #thepoweroflove and Sky's blessing or whatever. The henchmen get to punch enforcers so they're happy about it.

The "am I interrupting?" Scene happens. It's also too long so.

It takes Viktor a while to convince Jayce to, yk, betray his country and leave everything he's ever known behind, but Jayce was literally about to kill himself and Viktor is talking about change and help and people who actually need it (lies) and he looks so beautiful under the moonlight and he remembered him. So. Really what can one realistically do in this situation if not agree with the criminal who's trying to save you from exile.

They rush back to Zaun, Jayce leaves a hasty suicide note and says he will drown himself in the river and not to search for him (he leaves a slight clue for him being in Zaun as an alibi in case they eventually find him and want to blame Viktor for kidnapping. Which is such a hot and clever thing that Viktor almost kisses him right there), they break into heimerdinger's room via Sky giving them the keys, steal all the equipment they can carry (henchmen & co brought some bags okay??)

When Mel arrives they're gone. She calls for the guards to come but they're waaay out of her reach and Sky is there all beaten up and crying (she agreed to it)

There might be a motorcycle involved. Cyclists Viktor... Yeah. Hot.

When they arrive, he has his very first actual screaming-match kind of fight with Silco and Singed about keeping A Piltie in their territory, but they eventually and very reluctantly give in. Also Jinx is there. So Silco isn't really that preoccupied with who lives with Viktor and more with how to make this child stop wailing.

Silco knows that even a worm will turn. If Jayce does agree to work for them and stays loyal, then they get another good worker. If not, they can always kill him. He's never heard Viktor this adamant about someone before, and damn he's seen the boy walk around with some pretty faces. Maybe this Jayce fella truly is smart.

PART FIVE - JINX AND JAYCE

When Viktor shows up he finds out that silco has adopted a child. Also Sevika doesn't have an arm. Also Vander is dead. So is, presumably, that child with the bad haircut. So is Benzo. Which is a bummer. He liked the store.

Ekko is nowhere to be found. That's a bit sad. Really sad. He sheds a few tears.

Jayce hates everything that's going on around him buts this man is SUICIDAL, basically homeless, penniless and his one and only lifeline is Viktor. Even if he stayed in Piltover no one would've been able to help. He's just kinda going with the flow. Having him gives Viktor his backbone and morals back. Slowly. Very slowly.

Hextech develops WAY slower. Like they're working in a drug den in the middle of what is basically a hastily put together lab there's absolutely no way there's the same conditions. They're doing their best though.

Jayce Is actually really impressed by shimmer and how it can "help" people. He's gaslighting himself ATP and everyone else is enabling him. No Jayce you're just creating an army of drug addicted zombies what do you mean giving power to the people.

Also eventually Silco gives Viktor a laced brace that makes him mildly addicted to shimmer. Viktor is clever enough to realize what's going on but also experienced enough to know that refusal would be seen as an offense. He takes the brace on and off with his own prototypes. Sevika and him both know they're just digging themselves into a deeper hole. With time he just goes "yeah fuck it" and starts regularly using it on his wires for the better performance of his leg. Glorious evolution or something.

Silco actually tries to kill jayce once because he was getting too fucking annoying and self-righteous, but Jinx steps in. He reminds him of claggor (in a bizarre way). She claims that they're both her friends and she loves them and silco just seethes in silence because Why did he become a father.

They help raise her. Kinda. Not co-parenting. More like co-uncling. They're both horrible influences but they aren't worse than Silco's enablement so it's just a very fucked up raising strategies cocktail.

I wrote all of this so I could successfully say that they have a tea party with her.

THEY LOVE LIL JINX OKAAAY. Specially jayce. He takes all his emptiness and sadness and anger and tries to fill it with love for her and Viktor, the only two people he feels are kind of honest to him. He tries to befriend Sevika. Doesn't really work at first.

Also Jayce being jealous of the fact that Viktor got around, specially when he has the audacity to give powder boy's advice (sevika is a STONE TOP LESBIAN you can NOT tell me anything else) right in Jayce's face. Yeah. Miscommunication. Falling in love. Devotion and guilt. Feelings of owing. Hesitant kisses and never said words. YEEES. I know it's a bit tropey but I like it so. Yeah.

Also both Jayce and Vik have long hair. Jinx insisted they let it grow like hers. Jayce's actually reaches his shoulder plates/mid back while Viktor keeps it shoulder length, just long enough to tie it. I think. Still haven't decided since long hair Jayce is too hard to mentally picture but I know he would look GOOD

Yes this also means that Jayce and Vi meet even earlier. They take a look at each other as they both try to calm down jinx and Become Best Friends™

Caitlyn always has a heart attack because YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. She, like Vi, goes "yeah silco is definitely keeping my sister/brother captive" and they're both like You Will Not Believe This.

Viktor doesn't join them in their adventures because he is Not jumping around the roofs. He uses a cane. Leave him alone jinx no he can't climb the stupid ass tower.

Jinx and Jayce become a sort of "ground control" thing. Jayce is BUFFED that man can stand his own in a fight. He's not as quick or flexible but he makes up for it in pure absolute brawn. They're not actually doing anything useful they're just entertaining Jinx every so often.

Idk guys this au is consuming my brain.

I have more ideas but this was way too long already

If u read this far u can actually ask for a small scene on the au or add an idea and I'll write it for u

#jayce talis #jayvik #jayce x viktor #arcane au #jayvik au #jinx arcane #arcane silco #silco and jinx #sevika arcane #Arcane #please don't flop #i wish my mind was this talkative in the middle of essays #DOES ANYONE SEE THE VISION #yes this is technically a corruption au ig #i have no idea how s2 would fit in here #i just want jayvik to be actual mad scientists yk. like yes I need to commit Several Crimes #I'm not in any way shape or form implying or saying that silco is a good person or wtv they're all war criminals in this au actually #shimmering progress au

So because watching soap opera with my nan ruined my brain:

Soap opera kid fic plot with time travel JayVik.

Jayce gets sent back to a time before the HexGates are built, he finds Viktor alone and manages to convince him to stop, they make a plan on how to keep HexTech safe as well. Of course he also focus on a way to make sure Viktor’s health doesn’t deteriorate. Figuring that if they pivot to medicine and actual HELP even without funding, that world’s Jayce and Viktor can be happy.

While they plan how to go about this, Jayce, who is desperate for human affection, ends up confessing his love and that every version of him loves Viktor in every universe. They fall into bed because Viktor is already in love with his Jayce anyway, and this man is also just simply Jayce. Maybe not his Jayce, but Jayce who is older and looks at his with open adoration and whispers how much he loves him when Viktor kisses him. Can you blame him? Eventually Viktor has a battle-plan on where to take the research without overusing magic, on how to convince everyone who matters… Jayce gets pulled back into the Arcane eventually, back to where he is needed, leaving Viktor quietly pining but confident that he’ll eventually get his nerve up to confess his love to his actual timeline’s Jayce. That or indicate that he wants to be wooed.

Viktor and his own Jayce focus on their new projects, even though this Jayce doesn’t know what prompted the change of heart. It doesn’t matter, he loves Viktor, he is shocked to hear of his health prognosis and throws his entire energy into researching ways to heal the condition caused by the Grey. He’s in love, he doesn’t care if they get the Council’s full approval or if his research doesn’t make something as flashy as the HexGates. If Viktor is insisting on this new change of course, then he trusts him. He also appreciates the weird flirty mood between them suddenly, the way he’s certain Viktor likes him and maybe his own crush could go somewhere…

So when Viktor one day shows up all frantic and jittery, confessing that he is pregnant but saying nothing about who the father is? Begging for… anything. Help? Jayce is shaken and heartbroken, but no way will he abandon the man he loves, even if he doesn’t love him back. Even if he is pregnant by someone else, someone he clearly misses. He can tell something is wrong, that Viktor is unusually lost. He promises to lie and claim the child as his own, if Viktor needs him to, provide for it, for Viktor. Anything.

If the father isn’t in the picture (through neglect or tragedy) then Jayce will step up! He loves Viktor too much to be selfish, even if it makes him feel sick that his love is unrequited.

Viktor meanwhile is screaming internally because he doesn’t know how to explain to Jayce, who he never even kissed, that it’s HIS child. Here he is, having quietly sighed and pined for Jayce for weeks, that sad broken version of Jayce, wondering how to go about getting together with his Jayce. How does he even start? “Hello Jayce, as you can see I am knocked up. Believe it or not it’s yours, yes I know we have never even been naked in the same room, trust me. I just happened to meet a time travelling version of you who fucked me. Don’t think about it too hard.”. They have nothing even approaching that sort of technology (yet). Jayce probably would think it’s a cruel joke.

So now Jayce is heartbroken and Viktor is watching Jayce be brave and selfless about it and acting so damn polite about everything

Idk I already wrote one kid fic, you people do with this what you want

#jayvik

Arcane Competitive Dance AU

i dont think you realize that i CRAVE comp. dance au's down to the bone as a former comp. dancer so HERE IS MY BRAIN CHILD!!!

we start off pretty basic, with the City of Greater Piltover essentially split into two main area, New Piltover and Zaun. within the two main areas lies two dance studios, both well known and well loved in their respective communities. for the amount of time the studios have been open, the have had a sort of "rivalry" within it's leaders (dw the kids are mostly chill with eachother). this brings us to the main bones of the au!!

Zaun Dance Movement (ZDC)

run by co-owners and partners Vander and Silco Lane-Shimmerson

they do a lot of community work within Zaun since it's mostly lower class

they are known for their insane Hip Hop routines that are highly inspired by Zaunite break-dancing as well as their acro routines

they offer an affordability fund program for people who are interested in dance but the cost can be too high for the household

for the recreational program they offer the general classes such as ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, acro, musical theatre and open, as well as holding classes for adults, low-impact for the elderly, and adaptive movement for anyone with a mental or physical ability

they are known for being a family friendly and community based studio

has a KILLER fundraising team omg like genuinely so good they raise so much for comp season

Piltover Dance Corps (PDC)

founded by Cecil Himerdinger (trust me on this guys-)

owned currently by Cassandra Kiramman

they take a more intense look at dance, while still being family forward

"rich kid" studio

they put on a showing of the nutcracker every holiday season to raise funds for comp season

also has an affordability fund that's pretty good tbh

it definitely helps that Cass Kiramman is RICH so she puts a good amount of funds into it herself

they have a pianist come in for their ballet/pointe classes (just a fun fact tbh)

a good amount of their students go on to go professional later in life

known for their downright gorgeous ballet and tap programs

Overall facts I've put together!

contemp is NOT the shit you see on tv, it's what it originally was, the successor to the modern style idc what anyone says (please get rid of tv contemp y'all its legit lyrical you are doing lyrical-)

most if not all the main characters are in fact children/teens in this AU to have it make more sense just generally

vi is a hip hop/contemp girly ok

jinx is powders nickname/stage name and she is 100% a acro/musical theatre kid and you can pry that from my cold dead hands

ekko is a hip hop kid (as if you couldn't already see that coming lmao)

caitlyn is a lyrical/pointe girly bc you can't convince me she wouldn't LOVE the insane precision it takes seeing as she fucks with guns

jayce is a tap/hip hop boy bc i think he would adore the click clacks of tap shoes

mel is a lyrical/contemp to no ones suprise

dw guys viktor is in fact here hes just nerding out in the corner

he was dragged into the lane-shimmerson family ok

he's vi, claggor, milo and jinx's very supportive older brother who attends the adaptive movement class so he can give his siblings shit on their choreo

he is also the loudest mf in the audience (speaking from experience here 😅

sevika was also kicking and screaming and attempted to crawl her ass out of the fam dynamic and did NOT survive

love me some begrudging auntie sevika lmaooo

smeech is ZDM's tap teacher and him and jinx have BEEF

they are duking it out weekly frfr

vander and cassandra are chill owner to owner but cass and silco? they are each others biggest opp honestly

secret dating caitvi but they are only hiding it from silco and cassandra

jinx takes on isha as her adopted mini and its so cute

vi and deckard is a one sided rivalry with deckard thinking of vi as his rival and vi dgaf about this guy

we also get some good ole jaymelvik dating and timebomb crushing

please let me know if anyone wants more but this is like the bare bones of it lmaoooo

#arcane #arcane au #arcane competitive dancer au #caitvi #jaymelvik #timebomb #jinx x ekko #zaundads #random note but i have tv contemp it has genuinely ruined comps since it has just taken over all catagories in the same way acro has #me and tv contemp have BEEF ur honor

alright bitches, screaming into the void again, act two of the second season just dropped and I am sobbing and inconsolable, as always, spoilers for arcane season two under the cut

-CAIT AND MADDIE?????? YOURE FUCKING KIDDING ME?????? HOW DARE THEY. the scream i scrumpt. but okay genuinely, I'm very curious how that dynamic works and started, I really am praying that it's just a casual thing and cait sort of rebounding, because to me caitvi is always gonna be endgame (side note, get it I guess, at least one of the girlies is getting laid)

-also I loved the paint the town blue music intro and how it can be interpreted and the way both sides can be seen with so much nuance but also how both sides can feel black and white about each other

-Mel being a bastard child is genuinely so funny to me with the notion that Mel didn't believe that her mother could fall in love, and now she's stuck with these freaky magic people. it's actually so interesting as it reminds me of the sorcerer class in dnd and how magic is inherent in the blood, but also, if you're a wizard, it's something you learn. as seen with Mel and the people that learn the arcane (the guy that saved baby jayce) (also the artificer which is everyone who utilises modern hextech, but specifically the inventors)

-the reuniting of Vi and Jinx!!! omg the tension, the grudge being held, but also the very clear longing for the sisterhood to be rekindled. and how this time, when Vi hits Isha (even though by accident) there's someone there to smile and ask if she's okay and to keep going. something something breaking the cycle of trauma.

-then to add onto that the fam reunion of Vi Jinx and Vander! and of course the fact that Vi chose to trust, again. despite how many times her trust has been broken and betrayed, she trusted again, and it payed off, because even if only for a couple days, she had a father back. she had a family, this time with a new younger sister addition

-and to add onto that even further!! the reunion of all of them with cait!! all of them are chosing trust and chosing forgiveness to try fight for a greater good and a future they wanted to fund!!

-the small family dynamic in the first episode that is sevika, Jinx and isha is so perfect to me. and I find it so curious that with isha, Jinx wants to leave behind revolution and violence to try and have something bordering on domestic. idk, I just love the three of them and how they would go to any end to save each other

-meeting young vander, silco, and the girls mum! it all started out so pure with so much hope. they wanted to leave a legacy and a world where you could raise children. and though they have failed initially, those children are now picking up the mantle. brimstone and blisters is an amazing phrase and goal

-small side note, I love seeing sevika try to step into a leadership role

-y'all what happened to ekko???? please, why is he on the mural?? I swear he better be in the final act. but I love to see that the fireflys are still thriving

-viktor and jayce truly are doomed yaoi and it's going to doom the whole rest of the narrative... and I kinda love that for them. all jokes aside though, it's amazing to see both of their developments and how viktor grew and created this amazing (if very uncanny valley) society (cult), and jayce, tormented by the touch of the arcane, driven close to madness, is so destructive. and despite one promoting growth, the other destruction, I'm actually not sure which one of them is in the right! like is the hexcore inherently evil and thus viktor and his community, or is Jayce delusional and going to self destruct in the worst possible way? or both! or neither! we'll see

-haha omg Jinx not being recognised and then also being laughed at for her pants

-the warden of stillwater is dead and all I can say is thank fuck 😌

-the scene in the prison! holy fuck. Jinx and sevika releasing everyone and Jinx making the sarcastic proclamation, only to be met with genuine connection from her fellow Zaunites. all of them touching her shoulder as they pass. "we see you, we know that you have done bad, we choose you, you are our hope" is what it says to me. and you can see that it really gets to Jinx, that she's having this holy shit people cherish me moment

-ambessa is amazing and awful. I don't love her but what a character she is. she's driven and corrupt and full of so much love and hate (fuck that other guy tho, the one that always stands near her who I can't be bothered to remember the name of, glad he dies, acab)

-so much diverse animation in these three episodes you absolutely love to see it! vander with his almost abstract view of the world when he's in a rage, only seeing in colours of blood red. the way that isha sees the world in her childlike sketch while reliving moments. the soft and peaceful almost watercolour sketch of vanders mind behind Warwick's animal brain. how much peace and love goes into every detail of this show will never cease to amaze me

-that one guy will never catch a break from Vi and it's the funniest running joke in the series

-Caitlyns face when Vi calls her cupcake

-the way Jinx draws her name under her eye with Vi's pitfighter paint in the same fashion as Vi's tattoo. it really says to me that Jinx still idolises her and wants to be like her sister still, no matter how much they've changed. while also accepting that there are parts of each other that neither want

-Caits character... ooh boy this one's a doozy. so yes, fascist dictator style, but we still see remorse from her. a want for things to be better for everyone. the deep desire to be able to change things for the better without mass acts of violence. but again clinging to the need for revenge. at least at the start. she still very much betrays ambessa when she sees how much pain she's willing to cause to fuel her own purpose though. I think she's come to terms with the fact that what she wants is something she has to try to achieve without becoming a monster. she's deeply flawed. she's amazingly complex. I'm in love with her. she's a cop. she's a heartbroken daughter. she wants to fix the world. she may have broken it a little under the deeply misguided tutelage of Noxus. I really can't wait to see her in the final act. especially since I believe she is going to be part of the revolution now

-Jinx calling the gauntlets bitch mittens 😂😂

-he's your father too (ouch)

-yknow, genuinely thought the pitfighter arc was gonna be longer than that but I'm not too bothered by it. I'm also really glad to see that Vi is allowed to be wrong! she is amazing but also makes a lot of mistakes, and she has people in her life that aren't afraid to call her out for her shit. I feel like a lot of people think she can do no wrong because she feels like the main protagonist, but the show continues to remind you that she's just a person, and one who is deeply fucked up by her trauma, but she is trying her best

-also just noticed the detail of the black rose having the red galaxy as their sort of ethereal plane, while viktors is a deep blue. I wonder if that's to do with the combating magics that they posses and if they are in opposition, whether thematically, morally, or any other kind of way. just thought it was cool

-also is it just me or does the dog on Vi's jacket look like a domesticated version of the wolf that Singed used to revive Vander??

-the way that both Vi and Jinx sound like their mother

-the hug? I actually cried

-and finally. omg isha why??!?!?!?!? holy fuck I know that it was desperate, but child just pulled a season one act one powder move. what is the fallout of this explosion gonna look like? are we going to lose vander for a second time? is isha gonna die? how will our main crew fare? I can't wait for the final act. it's gonna be amazing!!!

-I lied, final final thought, Cait disarming Vi was so funny (and also hot)

sorry is none of this is very articulate or if some of it is a bit repetitive, but I needed to get it out of my system. please feel free to add thoughts or even tell me if you think I've got some things wrong!

...the talis house died with jayce talis because he died with no heirs but it's still alive because either jayce or ximena passed it onto people they trusted. when jayce was still alive, he set up the viktory foundation which helps impoverished kids get education, the talis houses also funds clinics and orphanages and sponsors craftsmen and later artists

(the viktory foundation might be how jayce gets to study!)

addition: the talis house also has a publishing company! it's first works were jayce talis' books about viktor of course and it later published educational books and now has science, medical and botanical journals!

(modern au? not sure the time yet but this definitely *years* after canon + zaunian jayce and piltoverian viktor)

viktor and jayce audition for a play about the creation of hextech, the war with noxus and the great biomachine, the hexspire, and zaun's freedom.

despite being zaunian, jayce auditions for his namesake the man of progress jayce talis while despite being a piltoverian, viktor auditions for the barely known viktor of the undercity. and during their research and practicing, something... feels so different. as if... something seems to be talking through them

'he helped zaun with their independence. no wonder he went from someone zaun hated to someone that was almost a hero,' viktor looked back up at the painting, a man who'd pressed his forehead against a man's marble bust, everlasting affection by magda of the undercity (1×××).

there was something about the man that reminded him of jayce. was it the brown skin and shade of black hair? the width of his shoulders or the slope of his nose? and the profile of the marble bust felt familiar too. but viktor couldn't place it. 'and he did it for love,' viktor said softly.

'that's a good reason as any,' jayce mused. he sat down next to viktor on the bench. he laid his hand on viktor's shoulder. jayce's hand was solid, heavy and so warm. it felt like before but it felt different too. like an echo and the thought made his chest ache. 'but he also did it out of grief. so much love that the loss of it destroyed him.'

'do you think we'd have something like that?' viktor asked. jayce blinked in confusion. 'to have a love that losing it destroys us?' he paused. 'i don't think i'd want that.'

'i... don't think you have a choice if it happens or not,' jayce said slowly. viktor tilted his head ever so slightly in question and it made the edges of jayce's lips quirk up in sheer fondness at the sight. 'a person becomes that to you without you knowing, without realizing it.'

'you think you'll have a love like that?' viktor asked, thinking of all the books jayce talis had written about viktor of the undercity. all the hours and effort to put his name out in the world. the plot in the talis house that has no body and only a plaque on it and talis resting his bones beside it.

jayce shrugged. 'why not? sounds fun.'

viktor blinked. he laughed. 'greedy,' he said fondly.

'i don't want to hear that from you!' jayce said in mock anger and viktor laughed harder. 'you're the one that keeps stealing my fries!'

Vineyard Vines or Boyfriend Finds?

You are here: Part 1, Part 2

DON'T YOU TELL ME YUURI HASN’T BEEN TO THE OLYMPICS MY BOY IS JAPAN'S ACE OF COURSE HE HAS

2008 olympics babes

Based off of @indiansummersunset and @iverindes preppy trust fund college kid Viktor. Yuuri is going to be a lot more skilled than when we first saw him in the series so basically. Super good skater + Trust fund Kid Viktor

(I sincerely apologize)

--------------------------

Yuuri stared down at the campus map on his phone, despite his glasses he still squinted to try to make sense of the many paths that overlapped each other. He looked up from his phone to see if there were any actual street signs then ruffled his hair and pushed his glasses further up his nose. “What’s the rink called anyways?” His muttered question was answered by a small group of girls all focused on someone out in the field. “It’s Nikiforov Rink.” They answered without even looking in Yuuri’s direction.

He stared down at the phone in his hands again, trying to find Nikiforov Rink, only to let out a frustrated sigh and adjust his glasses. “Nikiforov Rink? Where’s that? I’m going to be late to practice!” None of the girls answered his question but the figure they were focused on turned to look at him. Yuuri swore he could see literal sparkles surrounding the VIneyard Vines clothed man. Everything about him screamed preppy as he jogged across the large field, a frisbee in one hand and a smirk on his face. “Hey you!”

Yuuri looked both ways to see who the guy was shouting at then pointed to himself. “Who, me?”

“Yeah you!” The man jogged over with a bright smile while Yuuri could only think ‘Oh shit’ in his head. “Hey I heard you were lost, Nikiforov Rink right? I can find it on the campus app for you.” He smiled brightly as he held his hand out.

Yuuri looked down at his phone with an uncertain expression then smiled back and handed it to him. “Alright, thank you!”

After the silver-haired man typed for a few seconds he handed the phone back. “Here you go, good luck!” He winked at Yuuri then jogged back over to his friend to resume playing ultimate frisbee.

Yuuri smiled slightly and followed the map to the rink, he did however get sidetracked by a new message on his phone with a new contact.

From: Vik Nikiforov:

Hi Yuuri

My parents build Nikiforov rink

But they built me better

The texts were followed with an obscene number of emojis. Yuuri blushed a bright red then slid his phone into his pocket.

Once Yuuri had made it to the rink he stashed his phone away in his bag and pulled his skates out. He laced them up then pulled his sweatshirt off and walked to the rink side. “Um, Mr. Cialdini?” A tall dark-haired man with a pony tail turned then flashed a bright smile. “Ah Yuuri!”

Yuuri smiled nervously then nodded and bowed. “Thank you for coaching me Mr. Cialdini!”

Celestino smiled as he waved his hands. “No need for that, you can call me Celestino or Ciao Ciao.” Yuuri smiled at that then nodded and gestured to the ice. “Ah, um. May I?”

Ciao Ciao nodded then gestured to the ice excitedly. Yuuri smiled as he took his skate guards off and set them on the barrier next to his glasses. After pushing his hair back he glided out and looked at the other skaters who were there. Since it wasn’t a “Scheduled” practice everyone was free to use the rink however they wanted. As he watched the groups fumble on the ice he practically winced at the way they were digging into the ice and creating holes.

Yuuri took a deep breath then put his wireless headphones in his ears, his phone already playing music that connected to them. Once he found out that the groups basically stayed at the edges of the rink to grip onto the barrier he glided to the center and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath then began to do warm-ups, a few simple laps around the rink and then basic jumps.

After he had warmed up he began to skate, testing out the choreography he had in his head. He sighed as he tried to figure out how to fit everything together into his new program. He spent almost an hour trying to work on choreography before huffing and pushing his hair away from his face.

Ciao Ciao spent the first hour observing and giving comments from the boards before having to leave to go to a meeting on the other side of the campus. Yuuri watched him leave with a sigh then went back to skating, the music changed to his most recent skate that he performed, making him smile and begin to skate as if he was at a competition again.

Yuuri didn’t get the chance to notice that the ice was completely empty, most of the students in the stands watching him. Thanks to another student who began to live record it to the rest of the campus, most of the students who weren’t in classes began to file in.

He had his eyes closed as he glided across the ice with a bright smile going from his step sequence into a quad flip, triple toe loop combination. By the time he finished that combination jump Viktor Nikiforov and his entourage had entered to see the newest skating scholarship winner.

It had almost become a show at the point with how many people came to see him skate, when he transitioned into his biellmann spin more than half of the students gasped as Yuuri did it then began dizzying spins.

Yuuri finished in a few minutes then slid his earbuds out for the first time in about two hours, he almost fell over when he heard cheers coming from the stands. Once he noticed that he was the only one on the ice he had never been so happy for his near blindness after he had his glasses off.

He was a blushing mess as he quickly skated off the ice and put his skate guards on, only to then shove everything in his duffel and quickly rush out of the building.

Chris hummed at Viktor’s side once the newest scholarship kid rushed out of the rink, he turned to talk to Viktor when he noticed that he was still staring at the ice. “Hey Viktor, what do you think of our newest student?”

“Kruto! Did you see how he moved on the ice Chris, we need to bring him on the yacht. Yuri make sure he get’s invited to the next yacht party!” Viktor was interrupted by Yuri Plisetsky yanking his shirt and glaring. “I’m not your secretary old man.”

Viktor simply smiled as he took his sweater off then swung it over his shoulder, keeping it in place with his pointer finger acting as a hook. “So everyone, should we make him part of the group?”

Yuri muttered a dark ‘no’, Chris smirked and said ‘yes’, Georgie was still crying from ‘the beauty of the way he glided across the ice’, and Mila grinned with a ‘yes’. “Okay so we have two for yes one for no and I think a yes from Georgie but I’m not sure. Let’s invite him to frisbee tomorrow too, Yuri, make sure he gets invited to frisbee!”

“I told you I’m not your secretary old man!” Yuri was fuming as he stomped off to his dorm, leaving the four to walk back to their own dorms together.

“So you like Yuuri huh?” Chris saddled up to Viktor side then smirked. “Oh mon ami you should see the way he dances too~!”

Viktor nearly pounced on Chris as he grinned, “He dances too?! Chris he’s so perfect we have to go to his next performance or his next skate. Maybe Mama will let me hold an emergency skating event! We can have some roses there for him and then we can give him other flowers too not just roses right? He might not like roses though so we can give him maybe some lilies? Oh! Wait maybe he’d want a more expensive thing for that! Let’s get him a faberge then right? Any questions? No? Okay we’re going shopping soon then!”

Mila put her finger to her lips as she thought then looked around the campus ground. “Why don’t you just ask him Viktor?”

“But how can I ask him Mila?” Viktor whined while leaning on the redhead then pouted. “Viktor...Viktor he’s right there getting his dorm keys okay?” Viktor perked up at that, his eyes scanning the quad before they landed on the Japanese man walking out of the administrative building.

Viktor rushed over to the Japanese man then flipped his bangs and grinned. “Hey there Yuuri, wanna go on a trip on my daddy’s yacht?” He finished with a hand on his hip and a wink.

Yuuri stammered a few words in Japanese, too flustered to changed to English before shaking his head, his cheeks varying colors of red that spread from his ears. Viktor’s grin faded slightly as he observed Yuuri before a loud bark could be heard, followed by Yuri’s angry yelling. “Oi! Old man get your dog! Why was he in my room anyways!?”

Viktor turned just in time for his dog, Makkachin, to fly past him and knock Yuuri down. Yuuri let out a loud ‘oof’ then began to giggle as Makkachin licked his face. “V-Vicchan what are you doing- Wait. You’re not Vicchan?” Makkachin let out a bark then went back to licking Yuuri.

“Makka get off of him!” Viktor quickly grabbed Makkachin and dragged him off of Yuuri before holding his hand out. “Sorry about Makkachin, she doesn’t normally do that.”

Yuuri laughed as he sat up then scratched Makkachin behind her ears. “It’s okay, she’s cute.” He played with the poodles large ears before standing up fully and looked down at the packet in his hands. “Well, uh. I going to go find my dorm? Did I say that right?” Yuuri mumbled to himself before shaking his head and quickly rushing off. Shouting a ‘Bye Viktor’ over his shoulder.

“Chris?” Viktor asked his friend without looking at him, his eyes glued on Yuuri as he made his way through the quad.

“Yes, Viktor?” Chris saddled up to his side then smiled.

“I’m gonna date that boy.”

When Yuuri made his way into his dorm he was immediately blinded by balloons flying at his face and then a flash disorienting his vision. “Welcome new roomie!” Yuuri blinked before his vision cleared to see a thai man with hamsters on his shoulders and a phone in his hand.

“A-Ah, I’m Yuuri!” Yuuri smiled then held his hand out. Phichit grinned as he finished typing then pulled Yuuri into a hug. “I know,I’m Phichit. You know you really should update your insta more often. I need to see pics of my new roomie’s adventures!”

Yuuri laughed slightly then ruffled his hair and maneuvered around the balloons to set his duffel down. “Um, I have all of my stuff in the car if you can help me?”

Phichit grinned as he nodded then practically skipped down the hallway with Yuuri in tow. “We’re going to have so much fun this year Yuuri, sorry I could be at the rink to welcome you but I had a class then.”

“Oh it’s okay I got here late so I left all of my things sitting in the car and just ran down to the rink.” Yuuri laughed slightly then skidded to a stop next to the car with Phicht. “You get to meet Vicchan!”

As soon as the door opened Vicchan bounded out and into Yuuri’s arms, Phichit took a picture of that with a grin then slid his phone into his pocket and went to pet Vicchan before the two turned when they heard a squeal.

“Yuuri that was so cute!” Yuuri turned to see Viktor with a frisbee in his hand and a bright smile on his face. “I didn’t know you had a poodle!”

“I-Uh, yeah?” Yuuri blushed to the tips of his ears as he slightly hid his face behind Vicchan. Viktor jogged over then grinned at Phichit before turning his attention to Yuuri. “He’s cute, what’s his name?”

“Oh. Uh Vicchan!” Yuuri continued to blush in different colors before setting the small poodle on the ground.

Viktor smiled and went to say something before Chris shouted from the field. “Hey Vik throw the frisbee!” He pouted slightly before winking at Yuuri and jogging back across the field. “You’re no fun Chris!”

“Yuuri?” Phichit continued to stare at Viktor as he ran, his pink Vineyard Vines shirt drawing attention to himself.

“Yeah?” Yuuri turned his head to look at Phichit while petting Vicchan who had his head tilted to the side.

“Why did Viktor Nikiforov come talk to you? Why didn’t you tell me?!” Phichit let out a series of incoherent screeching noises while Yuuri blushed and attempted to get his new roommate to stop.

Name: Lyra Blackwell

Eye color: Incredibly dark, so brown it’s almost black. You can’t see her pupil. Her eyes are always framed by thick lines of kohl which make her big eyes seem even bigger.

Hair: Lyra has long hair, it falls down to her mid-back in a straight line . It’ s quite shiny and thick, the color as black as her eyes. She usually keeps it down, but sometimes it will be pinned up with her vast collection of jeweled clips and barrettes.

Height: Lyra is also known to be quite short, as it runs in her blood since she’s a direct descendant from one of the founding dark-elves. A title that she never lets anybody forget.

Skin Color: Pale skin, as dark elves tend to enjoy night and shadows. Think of her as Cinderella, skin as white as snow. She doesn’t look sickly, but she definitely doesn’t have that much pigment. Lyra is also slim, but she has a very... attractive physique.

A little about her: Lyra is known to be very snobby. She’ s very opinionated and doesn’t appreciate it when things don’t go her way. She’s a complete trust-fund kid as she’s brethren of Viktor Blackwell, one of the most famous Dark Elves of all time. She’s the representative in the Council for Dark elves and she has a very strong voice in the crowd. Lyra is known for her style and she’s quite nosy, but she gets the job done. Cyril and Lyra have an ongoing rivalry.

You Lost Your Job, Now What?

My cousin, age 40, married, with two kids, working with a Delhi-based start-up at a decent seven-digit salary, just lost his job!

With no cash flow to sustain operations owing to the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy, the start-up is on the verge of closing shop. To say the least, my cousin was unprepared for this.

We have been more like great friends over the years, and so he called seeking my advice. What follows below is part of the detailed email (edited for personal stuff) I sent him about how he can deal with the sudden loss of income and livelihood, and how he may move forward.

I don’t have an experience of getting fired at job but I have been through almost similar uncertainty and sudden loss of income after quitting my job in 2011.

The reason I am sharing this with you is because, given how things are falling apart all around (Uber just fired 3700 people, all at one go, on a Zoom call!), I thought the advice may benefit you or someone close to you who is facing a similar predicament either through a job loss, salary cut, loss of business income, or even complete closure of business.

I am not a financial advisor. What follows below is plain, simple advice that I offered to my brother. Nothing more, nothing less.

* * * from: Vishal Khandelwal to: XXXXXXXX date: May 14, 2020, 10:27 AM subject: Lost Your Job? Now Don’t Lose Yourself

Dear Brother,

Trust you are feeling fine and keeping safe.

It was nice talking to you. I am sorry to know about your job loss, but as they say, sh*t happens!

Anyways, before I share what I think you can do to deal with the situation and also a way to move ahead, let me quote Nassim Taleb who said that the three most harmful addictions are heroin, carbohydrates, and a monthly salary.

So, knowing that you don’t do heroin and eat less carbs, let me congratulate you for you can finally get over your addiction of the monthly salary, at least for the time being.

Coming to my advice, some of which I already offered to you on phone, here it is –

1. Being fired at work is among life’s most stressful events. And so, my first line of advice is not financial, but emotional. Millions of people around the world have lost their jobs, or are on the verge of doing so, and so you are not alone. There is no doubt an unexpected job loss can rock your world, but it can also prove to be an experience that helps you grow and leads you to a new and better work and life ahead.

A job loss, even if it looks unexpected, is not a one-time event. It often involves the stages of denial, then anger, then bargaining, then depression, and finally acceptance. These are the five stages of grief, and a job loss must go through these as well.

I know you have been struck by grief. Now, I may sound a bit harsh, but you have two options to deal with these stages – one, you head fast from denial or anger towards acceptance, because that is the place you will anyways end up (moving fast will be less painful), or two, you take your time, keep ruing your situation, and go slow (more painful, simply because emotions will be involved for a greater amount of time).

Also, remember that the longer you take to come out of the situation emotionally, the greater and worse emotional issues you will impose upon your near and dear ones, especially your spouse, parents, and kids. So, better you get over the emotional hangover of a job loss soon.

Cry at times if you want, but please do not break. Acknowledge your emotions, then move on. Whenever you find yourself alone and struggling, talk to your spouse and/or your best friend. They can provide you comfort and encouragement and help you reign in those negative emotions.

2. My second advice is financial. The financial impact of job loss is probably the toughest challenge to face during this time, and so it is critical for you to develop a plan that reduces as much financial stress on you and your family as possible. Here are a few steps you may want to take to deal with such an unexpected event, so that you don’t end up making any desperate decisions –

List down all money you have in the form of household savings and any income that you may earn through severance; plus any income your spouse may be earning. Then list down all your expenses – food, rent, EMIs, utilities (power, gas, Internet, phone), transportation, educational expenses, insurance premiums, credit cards, eating out, shopping, other monthly payments and expenses, etc., along with any new expenses. Then go through your expenses one by one, cut out all non-essential lifestyle-related items, and find ways to lower even the essential ones that you can. Simply put, analyse your variable expenses well, and find ways of doing away with some of them. Focus on both the large and small expenses, because holes, small or large, can sink a ship.

Dip into your emergency savings to meet your living expenses. But be miser in using that too. Even if you thought earlier that that fund was good for 6-8 months, work on a lean budget so that the fund runs for, maybe, 10-12 months. Maybe! I know a lot of people who are used to saving regularly have a hard time dipping into emergency savings but surviving a period of unemployment is exactly why you have been saving this money. When you are back on your feet again, and I’m sure you will soon, you can replenish the funds. But for now, your emergency savings can be put to good use.

Hide that credit card please! Do not, I repeat, do not assume that you can use that Gold or Platinum card to defer cash outflow by 50-60 days. After a job loss, if you will not buy something on cash, please, please, please do not use your credit card for that. It will be a financial disaster, given the uncertainty around your future income and the interest rates that get charged on deferred credit card payments. Question each expense real hard.

Stop your SIPs or other new investment if need be. But do not sell your investments if you have enough cash as emergency fund that can last you 6-8 months or more (such is an emergency for which emergency funds need to be created). If you have a credit card payment pending, use your savings to pay that off. But remember, the idea for now is to free up your cash flows, instead of spending or investing it away. Still, re-evaluate your existing investments. If you have to spend more than your emergency funds, assuming you don’t create another source of income within the next 10-12 months, you may have to dip into your investments. So, re-evaluate now which ones you would redeem first.

Check your health and life insurance. If your ex-employer provided these, and you did not have them personally, try to get them now. Without an ongoing income, insurance companies may seek greater number of proofs from you (like IT returns etc.) but having health and life insurance policies is a must, former for every member of the family and latter for the earning member. Especially, if a health emergency strikes at these times, and you are not covered, it may eat up your emergency fund faster than you would have envisaged.

Evaluate your debt if you have any. Start by prioritising repayment of higher cost debt, like credit card debt or personal loan. Call you bank and ask for some relief on your EMI payments. Interest will still accrue but you will not be fined for missing payments for around two months, depending on your bank’s policies. Especially in these uncertain times, it is important for you to really know where you stand financially, and assessing your liabilities is one of the most important things you would do, largely because a third party is involved here who may not understand or appreciate enough what you may be going through.

Ask for help when you need it. Do not shy away from it. Asking your spouse, or parents to chip with monetary, if they can, and non-monetary help is a good idea. Also seek the services of a good, honest financial advisor, if you think you cannot get your head around the financial situation. The advisor can help you set a budget, optimise your spending, and give you some clear-headed advice on cash, debt and investments.

3. My next advice is social. There is no point in not accepting that you have lost your source of income (for time being), and thus don’t shy away from explaining to your friends or family that you need to cut back right now. By eliminating social expenses like eating out or attending parties that may be avoided, you can free up cash to cover your essentials and also keep yourself from racking up new credit card debt, which will cause more financial stress.

4. Final advice – start preparing for the future, right away. Ask people you know of, maybe your ex-boss or ex-colleague for work options. A job loss can be a blessing in disguise. Maybe this is the time to start work on that start-up you always wanted to start up, of course after taking into account your financial standing. If you are a bit creative, or have a lot of experience under your belt, you can seek opportunities in the gig economy where you can find work under short-term contracts or freelance work. Spend time learning or honing a skill that people may pay for. The idea is to reach out as much as possible, towards people and opportunities that may help you come out of this crisis sooner. Spend no time in the vortex of desperation. Keep thinking about and working on ideas.

As the famous singer Bob Marley said –

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Seriously, you have no choice but to stop regretting what has happened in the past and stop worrying what may happen in the future but only focus on what you can do now.

Here, I also remember what Viktor Frankl wrote in his seminal book Man’s Search for Meaning –

…everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.

It is not the end of world, believe me. Plus, almost everyone is facing some or the other trouble and you are not alone in it. So, don’t ever feel that way.

Just be thankful for everything you have now – a supportive family, emergency funds, savings, roof on head, food on plate, and skills you can improve upon to earn money in the future – and just get started again.

Treat the day of your job loss as the first day of the rest of your life. Start afresh. Make it count.

You can do it!

Love and a shoulder to rest upon, Vishal

* * * That’s about it from me for today.

Stay safe.

With respect, — Vishal

The Globe Health Company (THAT) is a specific firm of the United Nations that is concerned with international public wellness. The THAT is responsible for the World Health And Wellness Report, the around the world Globe Wellness Study, as well as Globe Health Day. A worldwide recognized malaria scientist, as Preacher of Health and wellness, Tedros obtained praise for a number of system-wide and innovative health reforms that substantially boosted access to health services as well as essential results. Among them were employing as well as training about 40,000 female health extension workers, cutting infant death from 123 deaths per 1,000 real-time births in 2006 to 88 in 2011, and raising the hiring of health staffs including medical doctors and also midwives. In 1958, Viktor Zhdanov, Deputy Priest of Health for the USSR, called on the World Wellness Setting up to embark on a worldwide initiative to remove smallpox, resulting in Resolution WHA11.54. In action to cholera upsurges in 1830 and also 1847, which eliminated 10s of thousands in Europe, the initial International Sanitary Seminar was convened in Paris in 1851. At the time, the cause of cholera was due and also unknown to political distinctions little was achieved at this or the next several meetings. The seminars were the initial effort at establishing a system for global teamwork for condition avoidance as well as control. The World Health And Wellness Company (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that is interested in worldwide public health. It was established on 7 April 1948, and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The WHO belongs to the United Nations Advancement Team. Its precursor, the Health Organization, was an agency of the League of Nations. The constitution of the WHO was signed by 61 nations on 22 July 1946, with the initial conference of the World Health Setting Up. It incorporated the Office International d'Hygiene Publique and also the League of Nations Wellness Company. The THAT played a leading role in the elimination of smallpox. Its existing concerns include contagious diseases, particularly HIV/AIDS, Ebola, malaria and tuberculosis; along with the mitigation of the results of non-communicable conditions such as sexual as well as reproductive aging, health, as well as growth; nourishment, food protection and healthy and balanced consuming; occupational wellness; chemical abuse; and also driving the advancement of reporting, magazines, and also networking. The WHO is accountable for the Globe Health Report, the around the world Globe Health Survey, as well as World Health And Wellness Day. The current Director-General of the THAT is Tedros Adhanom, who began his five-year term on 1 July 2017. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (birthed March 3, 1965) is an Ethiopian political leader, scholastic, as well as public-health authority who since 2017 has actually been Director-General of the WHO. He offered in the Federal government of Ethiopia as Minister of Health from 2005 to 2012 and as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016. Tedros signed up with the Ministry of Health and wellness in 1986, after graduating from the College of Asmara. A globally acknowledged malaria scientist, as Preacher of Health and wellness, Tedros received appreciation for a variety of ingenious and also system-wide health and wellness reforms that substantially improved access to health services and vital end results. Among them were employing as well as educating roughly 40,000 female health extension employees, cutting infant death from 123 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2006 to 88 in 2011, and also increasing the hiring of health and wellness staffs including medical doctors as well as midwives. In July 2009, he was elected Board Chair of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and also Jungle fever for a two-year term. Tedros was chosen as Director-General of the WHO by the World Wellness Setting Up on 23 Might 2017. He took workplace for a five-year term on 1 July 2017. The International Sanitary Conferences, initially held on 23 June 1851, were the first predecessors of the THAT. A collection of 14 conferences that lasted from 1851 to 1938, the International Sanitary Conferences functioned to battle many diseases, principal amongst them cholera, yellow high temperature, as well as the bubonic plague. The seminars were mainly inefficient till the 7th, in 1892, when an International Sanitary Convention that managed cholera was passed. 5 years later, a convention for the pester was authorized. Partly as a result of the successes of the Meetings, the Pan-American Sanitary Bureau, and also the Workplace International d'Hygiene Publique were quickly founded in 1902 and also 1907, specifically. When the League of Nations was created in 1920, they developed the Health Organization of the League of Nations. After World War II, the United Nations soaked up all the other wellness organizations, to form the WHO. During the 1945 United Nations Meeting on International Organization, Szeming Sze, a delegate from China, provided with Norwegian and also Brazilian delegates on producing an international wellness company under the auspices of the new United Nations. Sze as well as various other delegates lobbied and an affirmation passed calling for an international seminar on health and wellness. The initial meeting of the World Health and wellness Setting up completed on 24 July 1948, having secured a budget of US$ 5 million for the 1949 year. In 1958, Viktor Zhdanov, Deputy Minister of Wellness for the USSR, gotten in touch with the Globe Health Setting up to embark on an international initiative to remove smallpox, causing Resolution WHA11.54. At this point, 2 million individuals were dying from smallpox every year. In 1967, the WHO heightened the global smallpox obliteration by contributing $2.4 million annually to the initiative as well as embraced a brand-new condition monitoring approach. The first issue the THAT team encountered was inadequate coverage of smallpox cases. THAT developed a network of specialists that aided countries in setting up surveillance and also control tasks. The THAT likewise aided have the last European break out in Yugoslavia in 1972. After over two decades of combating smallpox, the WHO proclaimed in 1979 that the condition had been eradicated - the first disease in history to be eliminated by human initiative. he complying with is a chronology of the THAT starting in 1967: In 1967, the THAT released the Unique Program for Research and also Training in Tropical Conditions as well as the World Health Assembly voted to enact a resolution on Special needs Avoidance and also Rehab, with a focus on community-driven treatment. In 1974, the Expanded Program on Immunization and also the control program of onchocerciasis was begun, an essential collaboration between the Food and also Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and the World Bank. In 1977, the first list of important medicines was formulated, as well as a year later the ambitious objective of "wellness for all " was proclaimed. In 1986, the THAT began its worldwide program on HIV/AIDS. 2 years later avoiding discrimination against patients was addressed and also in 1996 UNAIDS was formed. In 1988, the Global Polio Elimination Effort was developed. In 1998, WHO's Director-General highlighted gains in kid survival, lowered baby mortality, enhanced life span and lowered rates of "scourges " such as smallpox and also polio on the fiftieth wedding anniversary of THAT's founding. He, did, nevertheless, approve that more needed to be done to assist mother's health and wellness and that development around had actually been sluggish. In 2000, the Stop TB Partnership was produced along with the UN's formula of the Centuries Advancement Goals. In 2001 the measles effort was developed, as well as attributed with reducing global deaths from the disease by 68% by 2007. In 2002, The Global Fund to combat AIDS, Consumption and Jungle fever was drawn up to enhance the sources available. In 2006, the organization recommended the globe's very first main HIV/AIDS Toolkit for Zimbabwe, which created the basis for a global avoidance, therapy as well as assistance plan to eliminate the AIDS pandemic. The WHO satisfies this purpose through its features as defined in its Constitution: (a) To function as the directing as well as coordinating authority on worldwide wellness work; (b) To develop and also maintain effective collaboration with the United Nations, specialized firms, governmental health and wellness managements, specialist teams as well as such various other organizations as may be deemed appropriate; (c) To aid Governments, upon demand, in reinforcing health services; (d) To equip proper technological help and, in emergencies, needed help upon the demand or approval of Governments; (e) To give or aid in offering, upon the request of the United Nations, health services and centers to unique groups, such as the peoples of trust regions; (f) To establish and also keep such management and also technical solutions as may be needed, including epidemiological and also analytical services; (g) to boost and also progress job to get rid of epidemic, endemic and various other illness; (h) To advertise, in co-operation with various other specific firms where necessary, the prevention of accidental injuries; (i) To promote, in co-operation with various other specific agencies where necessary, the improvement of nutrition, real estate, cleanliness, recreation, economic or working problems and also various other elements of ecological health; (j) To advertise co-operation among scientific and expert teams which add to the development of health and wellness; (k) To suggest contracts, conventions as well as guidelines, as well as make recommendations with respect to global health and wellness matters and also to perform. As of 2012, the THAT has actually defined its duty in public health as follows: giving management on matters critical to health and wellness as well as engaging in partnerships where joint action is needed; shaping the research study agenda and also boosting the generation, translation, and dissemination of useful expertise; setting standards as well as norms and also promoting as well as checking their application; verbalizing ethical as well as evidence-based plan choices; supplying technological support, militarizing change, as well as building lasting institutional capacity; and monitoring the health scenario and also analyzing health and wellness patterns.

You Lost Your Job, Now What?

My cousin, age 40, married, with two kids, working with a Delhi-based start-up at a decent seven-digit salary, just lost his job!

I don’t have an experience of getting fired at job but I have been through almost similar uncertainty and sudden loss of income after quitting my job in 2011.

I am not a financial advisor. What follows below is plain, simple advice that I offered to my brother. Nothing more, nothing less.

* * * from: Vishal Khandelwal to: XXXXXXXX date: May 14, 2020, 10:27 AM subject: Lost Your Job? Now Don’t Lose Yourself

Dear Brother,

Trust you are feeling fine and keeping safe.

It was nice talking to you. I am sorry to know about your job loss, but as they say, sh*t happens!

So, knowing that you don’t do heroin and eat less carbs, let me congratulate you for you can finally get over your addiction of the monthly salary, at least for the time being.

Coming to my advice, some of which I already offered to you on phone, here it is –

As the famous singer Bob Marley said –

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Seriously, you have no choice but to stop regretting what has happened in the past and stop worrying what may happen in the future but only focus on what you can do now.

Here, I also remember what Viktor Frankl wrote in his seminal book Man’s Search for Meaning –

…everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.

It is not the end of world, believe me. Plus, almost everyone is facing some or the other trouble and you are not alone in it. So, don’t ever feel that way.

Treat the day of your job loss as the first day of the rest of your life. Start afresh. Make it count.

You can do it!

Love and a shoulder to rest upon, Vishal

* * * That’s about it from me for today.

If you liked this post and know someone who you think may benefit from it, please share with them on WhatsApp, Twitter, or just email them the link to this post.

Stay safe.

With respect, — Vishal

I sort of kind of forgot to put this up last week, which is a shame, because I’ve been reading a lot (working through my “tabs of shame”), so this is this week and last week’s list. I want everyone to have lots of good fics to read, so I figured a few weeks ago I’d make a list to suggest the ones I liked. Have any suggestions for me or want to talk to me about them? Pls pls hit me up, I’m very friendly.

What I Read This Week (~6/3-6/17)

faking in secret (Ch. 1) - DefiantDreams - It gets kind of difficult when you’re simultaneously fake dating and dating in secret at the same time. Yuuri and Viktor make it work—until they don’t. (My review: Fake/secret dating au in which essa slays me again. love this!! can’t wait for more)

It’s a Sign - LittleLostStar - Five times Victor and Yuuri escalate the Silly Signs Held Up At Airport Arrival Terminals War, and one time Victor wins without using a sign at all. (My review: This is such a precious fic. Star always does the characters so well and they’re just... so cute. <3)

we’ll always have paris (Ch. 1-2) - spookyfoot - Or: the canon divergent au where Yuuri doesn't screw up Japanese Nationals, runs into Victor in the Paris airport on the way to Worlds in Sweden, and somehow embarasses himself into a relationship on the 18 hour train ride between Paris and Malmö. (My review: Wow, spooky, can you believe I finally read this? No, but, jokes aside, Paris is hilarious, and I’m so glad I’ve finally started it!!)

feel like a quote out of context (Ch. 1-3) - seventhstar - In which Yuuri accidentally insults Viktor Nikiforov in front of a crowd of reporters, only to discover that apparently being called a 'talentless hack' is what turns Viktor on. This is not how Yuuri envisioned meeting Viktor going, but hey. He'll take it. (My review: another tab of shame fic oops. Nuriiiiiii, I am so glad that I’m finally reading soft rivals, i totally understand why you love it)

Night is Young and the Music’s High - opalish - "Best press conference ever," the Japanese Nationals silver medalist says when asked. “Ten out of ten, would medal again.” "I would die for Katsuki-kun," Minami declares, with terrifying sincerity. (My review: Someone recced me this fic and I laughed the whole time I was reading it. It’s great)

God Save Yuuri Katsuki (Ch. 1-2) - belovedyuuri (casinthongs) - Let it be known that accepting the babysitting gig is definitely not the best decision in Yuuri's life. At first, at least. (My review: Ahhh, basia, i don’t know if i’ve read anything by you before, but this is great. i love yuri as a child, he’s going to kill those poor adults. i love them)

Double Vicked - Phayte - The new Fan Art came out --- Two Victor's in it! Well... Here is Yuuri being Double Dicked (Vicked) - Victor has a younger brother that looks identical to him, when he was younger --- Yuuri cannot stop lusting after him. (I put incest warning on this, but they Nikiforov brother's DON'T TOUCH each other) (My review: so, i was looking for viktor/yuuri/viktor, but i got this. it’s very well written, and close enough to that trope that i loved it.)

Midnight Salchow - Mhalachai - Yuuri is convinced he has hidden his shameful past as a writer of Viktor Nikiforov RPF. Yuuri is mistaken. (My review: i love social media fics and mistaken identities, so this thing was right up my alley, i cried laughing.)

Green - MemeKonYOI (MemeKonYA) - Yuuri has no ex partners, but he has Yuuko and Phichit, and people he describes to him as ‘lovers, I guess?’ with a sheepish expression over dinners and drinks and in hotel rooms where they’re staying together. He has kids like Minami and Yurio, with huge crushes, wanting to skate on the same ice as him, to be his equals. (My review: ahhh, another fic someone recced to me, and I adored it. It was precious, and I love oblivious heartbreaker Yuuri. Love him)

Talk To Me - Wivania - “So… You didn’t buy the Yurio needs a new phone excuse and I shouldn’t consider a career in acting after all?” or Yuuri speaks more Russian than Viktor expected. (My review: ahh, i’ve had this in my marked for later for a while now, and i loved it!!! such a cute fic of misunderstanding)

get me through the night - FullmetalChords - Victor has learned to sleep in strange places, on benches at Yubileyny, on sticky floors at the Olympic Village. He cannot, however, sleep through an endless swarm of angry hornets, not when he is sharing a bed with it. Five annoying sleep habits Yuuri and Victor have, and one time they couldn't get to sleep without it. (My review: Meggggg, this fic is also super precious oh my god I died laughing Viktor and Yuuri are so extra and they’re 100% like this thank you)

The great debate ends.. - aim7art - Viktor launches the pineapple pizza fiasco, & Yuuri's finally had enough of it~ (My review: Man, the one time i’m not on Viktor’s side for something - I love pineapple on pizza. But this was hilarious - I loved the taps to social media in it, too)

(Don’t) Ring the Wedding Bells (Ch. 1) - cuttlemefish - As (loosely) inspired by real life, this is the wedding reception AU (you didn’t ask for, but will get) in which Yuuri Katsuki catches the bride’s bouquet and (shortly after) gets smashed at a wedding reception, then dirty dances with his best friend, (sort of) seduces a (hot) platinum-haired trust-fund baby named Viktor, and ends up being hounded for his identity (by said trust-fund baby and his friends and family) on social media. (My review: tabs of shame! tabs of shame! Z, this is super cute, and I can’t wait to continue. I hear there’s a moose in store? ;))

drunk in love - spookyfoot - Victor runs a bar, Yuuri is his favorite customer. (My review: spooky, back at it again with these super cute hilarious aus. a+ spooky, a+)

What I Wrote This Week (~6/3-6/17)

off the cliff - Right before Finals, Yuuri Katsuki breaks up with Viktor, because he needs to "go home". But then Viktor catches Yuuri riding toward a dangerous cliff, where no one would dare go for recreational purposes. But Yuuri wasn't lying, he was going home. (Or: Crack was requested and I gave an angsty mermaid au)

i will go down with this ship! (Ch. 2) - Yuuri and Viktor co-star in the fantasy drama History Makers, a show where their characters Mamoru and Dimitry are shipped by all the fans, which of course leads to the fact that fans also ship Yuuri and Viktor. And write fic about it. Yuuri reads RPF by only one author, therealviknik, and leaves a comment on every single one with his account, katsukiforov. Some fans pick up on the conversations and begin to ship therealviknik with katsukiforov as well. Phichit ships it all. (Or: Fandom fic where Yuuri reads fanfiction about him and Viktor that Viktor writes but neither of them know and I’m really invested in like 3 ships and they’re all the same people)

the one i'll slay; the other slayeth me - When he moves to America, Yuuri auditions to be part of an on-ice production of Midsummer Night's Dream. He finds out that the show stars Viktor Nikiforov, and is shocked, excited and scared by that, because Viktor is his long time crush and idol. It doesn't just end there, though, because it seems the magic isn't just within the show, and there isn't just one Viktor. (Or: D O U B L E VI K TO R VYV do i need to say more?)

Yuri on ice x Haikyuu.

Alright, so crusing through Tumblr does things to my mind. I know I’m not the only one who has noticed this so time to mash animes.

Ittetsu Takeda and Yuuri Katsuki look a lot alike. I hc them as cousins. Cousins that kinda keep in contact but not really coz they don’t live near each other. Now time for an imagine:

Imagine Takeda knowing about the gayness between several of the boys and the girls, imagine him knowing what it’s like to be a minority in a country town. Now imagine him watching the news one night and finding about Yuuri’s and Viktor’s engagement and immediately calling Yuuri up, despite it being the middle of the night. Imagine him practically begging Yuuri to come to Karasuno and talk to the boys and girls about his struggles. Imagine Yuuri only agreeing coz Viktor wants to meet Takeda. Imagine Yuuri not getting any sleep because Viktor is constantly mumbling and moaning about not knowing about ALL of Yuuri’s family. And no he doesn’t care that Yuuri and Takeda aren’t all that close, so it does want matter.

So imagine a week or so later Yuuri and Viktor turning up at one of Karasuno’s practises and everyone getting creeped out coz ‘why the hell is there a Takeda look-alike at our practice and what is the meaning of the smaller version of Lev?’ Now imagine Yuuri getting all flustered at the amount of people he’s talking too and about how young they are, so all he can do is stamper on about ‘just being yourself and screw what others say’. So his speech gets scraped and the boys and girls don’t really get anything from it.

Then imagine Viktor getting fed up because Yuuri keeps antagonising over how much he stuffed up and bursting into Karasuno with like a hundred different pairs of ice skates, all in different shapes, colours and sizes, and gathering the boys and girls out the front and shoving them, Yuuri, Ukai and Takeda into a hired bus and driving their asses to the nearest ice-rink. Imagine him renting out the place for the day, because he’s got money and he wants to waste some on these Lil shits.

Now imagine Tsukishima being the salty bitch he is and complaining but the second he gets on the ice he’s literally skating circles around the others. Imagine the second he gets on the ice he has that tiny little smile that means he’s genuinely enjoying himself and Viktor tells him that he’d be a great figure skater.

Imagine Yamaguchi being able to hold his own but is too scared to wonder far from the edge, so just awkwardly glides around in circles as Tsuki tries to coax him from the edge. Imagine that Yuuri makes sure to encourage him with a smile every time he goes past. Imagine Yuuri taking him to one side and telling him that he was excellent and should skate more often. Imagine Yams being more confident in his skills because of this and starts to skate around with Tsuki.

Imagine Tanaka and Nishinoya claiming that they’re absolute pros and crashing the first second they are on the ice. Imagine Noya slowly getting better and by the end has just gotten the hand of skating backwards. Imagine Tanaka relying heavily on Yuuri and Viktor before he regains his confidence and goes off to terrorise Ennoshita.

Imagine Asahi not getting on the ice at first, absolutely sure that he’ll crash and has a slight fear that if he does fall someone might accidentally slice his fingers off. Imagine when he finally does get on its only coz Viktor is so nice and Noya seems like he’s having fun and Asahi likes fun. Imagine him being one of the best skaters on the ice and having a face of pure bliss as he moves around on the ice, looking like the angel he really is.

Imagine Ukai being a complete ‘dunce’ and hanging onto Takeda, only for Takeda to find out at a later date that he’s actually pretty good but was just doing it coz he didn’t trust Viktor and didn’t want to leave Takeda on his own near the Russian sex symbol. Imagine Takeda feeling all warm inside because of this.

Imagine Takeda being almost as good as ice skating as Yuuri and the both of them being the adorable dorks they are and making Viktor and Ukai just that little bit hot under the collar. They’ll know about it later, when there aren’t kids around.

Imagine Hinata being the actual dunce and being unable to stand, let alone fucking move on the ice. Imagine Kageyama immediately diving into overprotective boyfriend mode the second one of the better skaters so much as looks at him. Imagine Hinata slowly learning how to skate but complains because he wants Yuuri or Viktor to teach him but Kags is just glaring at them and not letting them close to them.

Imagine Kags not being all too good either so eventually (after the seventeenth time they fall on their asses) he scoots over and awkwardly asks for help. Imagine Viktor laughing but helping him, promising up and down that he isn’t going to touch Hinata. Imagine Hinata glaring at Kags because of this.

Imagine Kiyoko being really unsteady and ungraceful on the ice and surprising everyone when she almost immediately falls over. Imagine her trying to brush it off but clinging to Yachi for the rest of the day.

Imagine Yachi being the beautiful, graceful princess she really is and laughing a little as Viktor and Yuuri cheer at her everything she and Kiyoko skate past them. Imagine her feeling completely at ease on the ice.

Imagine Ennoshita, Kinoshita and Narita feeling awkward as Yuuri notices them to the back so keeps bringing them foreword and helping them more than the others. Imagine them being awkward and clingy at first and by the end they’re skating almost as good as Tsuki and Asahi. Imagine them believing in themselves because Yuuri did. Imagine them applying this concept in their volleyball training and slowly working up to the leading line during their third year and Ukai being so proud of them.

Imagine Suga hanging back at first because he wants the others to enjoy themselves before he fucking destroys them with his skills. Imagine him fake falling and crashing to make everyone pity him then halfway through the day getting up and near perfectly copying one of Victor’s older routines because the Team Mum is a big fan boy that has been collecting posters of Viktor since he was in his mama’s womb.

Imagine Daichi loving this even though he refuses to let go of the side of the rink but he’s still the one that has the most amount of fun. Imagine him just standing back and watching his team zip around on the ice, recording a few of them but getting camera shy when Suga steals the video camera from him.

Imagine them all laughing and making fun of each other as they skate and when they brake for lunch Yuuri, seeing them all happy, works up the courage and stands on top of a table and clears his throat. Imagine him telling them everything, about how he got drunk and made a fool of himself, about how he couldn’t deal with his losses in a healthy manner, about how much his anxiety affected him and how he wouldn’t get help and just eat his feelings out.

Imagine Yuuri telling them about meeting Viktor and how much the misunderstanding crushed him. Imagine him telling them about how hard he fell for Viktor and how they helped each other throughout the season. Imagine Takeda in tears as each of them pay attention and take in everything he says. Imagine Viktor taking a picture from behind and using his laptop to take all the videos Daichi recorded and uploading it all on his social media tagging everyone he knows. Imagine Pitchit being the first to like it and almost immediately calls up Yuuri, who has to awkwardly pause his speech to let Pitchit gush at the team.

Imagine all of his fans dying over this team and how adorable they are. Imagine when the next season comes around Yurio demanding to meet the team and is instant salt-buddies with Tsuki and Yams. Imagine Hinata trying to square up against Otabek when Yurio finally brings him around because he looked at Kags for longer than five seconds. Imagine Asahi and Otabek being the 'bad rumour buddies’.

Imagine Yuuri and Viktor dropping by during the next training camp in Tokyo because they were in town. Imagine Lev getting pissy because 'holy shit batman my cousin is in town and he didn’t tell me!’ Imagine everyone in Karasuno just collectively going 'I knew it’. Just imagine all the teams calling in the students that had graduated and telling them 'to get your damn asses over now, Karasuno collectively knows FAMOUS people’ Imagine Kuroo and Suga getting together to fan boy over Viktor.

Furthermore imagine Kuroo nearly strangling Lev because 'How did the fact that Viktor Nikiforov is your cousin and my biggest role model slip out of that dumb head of yours?!?’

Just Imagine Yuuri helping the kids with confidence issues and Viktor helping the kids with body image issues. Imagine Viktor and Yuuri getting the kids who can figure skate really well and getting them to help with fund-raisers. Imagine them helping the kids that want to figure skate get onto the scene and lunching their carers. Imagine Viktor and Yuuri going to schools all around the world and teaching kids to love themselves and ice skate because it worked so well for the Karasuno kids.

Imagine Takeda and Ukai helping them spread the positive vibes around the world by pitching in with volleyball lessons. Imagine Viktor and Yuuri turning up to each of the Crows graduations because they love them. Imagine each of the Crows having a second set of parents to turn to when life gets really tough.

Imagine Yurio and Otabek giving the team shoutouts every so often. Imagine the team collectively working together to prank Yurio and Otabek when they’re being shits. Imagine the team coming together several years after they first met Viktor, Yuuri, Yurio and Otabek and planning a huge thank you party for them. Imagine the team being guests of honour at the Viktuuri wedding. Imagine Viktor and Yuuri showing up at the AsaNoya, TsukiYama, DaiSuga, KageHina, KiyoYachi, UkaTake and all the other weddings. Imagine finding strength in each other as the years pass.

Just AHHHHHHHH. Imagine how adorable this would be. I’m sorry that this went on for so long. But I love my hat animes.

♫ Listen: Viktor Liseddi - Grapevine Tales

PINKBOX TELEPORT gives off a vibe between Night People Records and Pacificity Soundvisions. Like, the entire label aesthetic is equally VHS taped on DVD in a bongo-drum-machine broken programming on a four-track tape recorder. But it’s mostly just late, and all I’m thinking about is how I’ve been an advisor for the most fucked up people sometimes: those kids in Huber who had the FBI “supposedly” knock on their door with suspicion, the cousin who’s knocked-out tooth did the talking for him while confronting cops while simultaneously filming a music video, or the trust-fund kid inches away from losing a mouth of teeth because of $100 he begged me to withdraw because of a hold on his account. All I need is space. Which is why the new PINKBOX TELEPORT — Grapevine Tales by Viktor Liseddi — is so important. There’s dissonance. I can be within range, but not interact. This is a peep of the beholder. What’s on your mind’s eye? http://j.mp/2g6tWfP
