FUCK THIS STUPID BAKA LIFE IM GONNA DRAW KARAYUME ANGST

[djsherriff-responses]

I’m still a vriska hater but her relationship with almost every single girl she encounters is actually really well written if you completely ignore the retcon crap

[silliest-heartaches]

Ohh my god DRINKKK!! Dude I love them sooo muchhh. I just love imagining them being head over heels for each other yet constantly denying their feelings, because of how they view themselves, yet still finding comfort and solace with each other. They are so. YES. PERFECT. AUGH.

SHARE MORE ABOUT THEM PLEASE!!!

And I love how you use they/them for Ink and she/her for Dream!!

GOD YEAH I LIKE THEM SO INCREDIBLY MUCH... tbh the main reason i started liking them was bc i was thinking abt them and how doomed yuri coded they were and. The worms Wormed in from there,,,,

I actually use he/they and she/they for ink and dream respectively but!!!!!! I love all hcs and interpretations of them for REAL. nonbinary people who are gay as fuck for real,, very inherrently queer ship regardless of how u see either of them i think...heart seeing them as t4t transmasc and transfem forever personally though so thats what i see em as hehe,, also in my head theyre both aroacespec (though the specifc kind varies from au to au though i do consistently see ink as ace and dream as demiaro :>>)

Im not sure how long these will be so...hcs under the cut lol

- okay well while in my mind while error is technically the First Entity ink sees that isnt just a normal entity, dream is like their First. Friend. you know. Like when error first saw him he was screaming and crying for the hills bc it was also his first time seeing another outcode so. that reaction BUT with dream she was more filled with gentle confusion... this is a bit after she unstoned in the apple incident but still was new to au hopping and naive to most danger so they became friends!!! Questionably so.

-to elaborate, when they first meet dream is still stuck on the ideals of toxic positivity and pushing through hardship no matter what... i think this is something they eventually grow out of and dream will eventually learn to see the need for balance eventually but one of their first disputes happens when ink is running low on ink and most of whats left are the Negative Emotions within him alongside the especially strong panic that he usually feels when they get like this... dream would try to comfort him and try to say that itll work out in the end no matter what and that they just need to push through and that itll be okay like normal comforting words because dream is an empath and can sense feelings right,,i feel like its comforting in some cases but when things get Really Bad and especially when the main reserves of feelings that ink has are Negative, they heavily override his normal sense of self and i imagine they get a lot more. Snappy.... theres also the additional hc thingy of ink also really overexaggerating his feelings and overplaying them a lot for the sake of trying to feel more intensely (doesnt work, just drains him faster and will never truly feel natural to him...personally think that ink feels a lot of disconnect from his feelings) which could be considerably offputting to dream (though before adding swap to the group she thought it wass normal because she had only seen the fake pretend nice joy of the village influenced by her aura and not Genuine Feelings)

I think eventually through the years they would learn a lot from eachother...like with ink learning to be more naturally charismatic and dream learning to see past toxic positivity and have his perception on emotions change for the better (ie in learning that having different emotions are okay, so long as there is a balance)

id do alot more hcs but tbh what it boils down to is: toxic codependent yuri. intensely up and down relationship where theres an insane amount of love and attachment but also a lack of self from the both of them because they are only able to see themselves as a Thing to the other. Also exes who turned out to be besties. Thry got together and broke up wayyy before blue (they casually tell him stories about it and for the parts that he does know about he is horrified for.) Oh and they share hobbies and do parallel play alot. dream is more music oriented and can play the cello and flute. ink can play the ukelele but hes more familiar with drawing and painting duh. Also they have a garden. they love growing flowers but their favourites are sunflowers. Also have writing sessions together. Also may/may not also have beautiful princess disorder. (The both of them)

im so sorry this is so incoherrent but erm. yeah im very normal abt them (half of this stuff comes from oc projection the other half is like. Mental illness while in the shower tbh)

[saphirdevil]

The hs mirror world art wont leave my mind... track girl cathy... heath and his weird german classmates... doomed by the narrative for being yuri in a sports manga... thank u for sharing it they're so important. I HOPE SHE GETS TO NATIONALS!!!

shakes you im glad i made cathy the sport girl of the two since initially heathcliff was supposed to be on that role but cathy fits it more I think. Augh track fits cathy and I was like maybe Lacrosse >_< Heathcliff seems like the go home club or maybe music club haha. Thank you for enjoying them with me >_<

wb terezi

mainly curious about the favorite line one (so many fucking bangers) and favorite song

second to mine to miss of course.

SHIT IFORGOR ABOUT THE ASK GAME CAN YOU TELL THAT I AM SO TERRIBLY TIRED

ok. last thing before i go to sleep is actually answering these

favorite thing about them

she is so sillychaoticviolent but so deeply sad im obssessed thats all u need in a character

least favorite thing about them

less abt her and more abt her portrayal but i think hussie and subsequently everyone forgor what kind of cane she had . im not complainin too hard cause disabled characters are rare enough n i want a cane for my chronic pain but i so rarely see people draw her with the right kind. whatever idk if u could fit a sword in one of those anyways

favorite line

the entirety of the leadup to terezi: remember tbh. this line especially but i have a whole post of AUGH terezi lines

brOTP

no reason they cant be some kinda romance but my friend enlightened me to jane + terezi friendship . they do the most chaotic pranks and the most overserious sleuthing out there . but they can also be yuri

OTP

vrisrezi. come on. they are the doomed yuri of all time

nOTP

idk i mean her n gamzee is fun plotwise but hough. not good. they r punching the shit out each other in the ventilation shafts or they are not a thing. let vriska punch him for her

random headcanon

coming up with this on the spot while sleep deprived dont mind me. ermmm sometimes she tries so very hard to have visions of timelines where she and vriska are actually happy together beyond a few moments of embrace . just to know some version of her has that empty feeling actually filled for once. either it never really works or she never can see them happy (DOOMED YURI!!!)

unpopular opinion

make her cringier. "her hs2 outfits are pretty wacky but fun i suppose" i want to see her looking like she is wearing every single piece of clothing and accessory in a dnd obsessed 2000s scene kids bedroom.

song i associate with them

if i gotta pick one ill go with francis forever by mitski. its literally so her . vrisrezi ofc but we all love our doomed yuri

favorite picture of them

doomed yuri? loser in underwear? the duality of sillygirl

[glo-katt84]

Pistolwhip is sooo toxic doomed Yuri and I am Here for it Its so complicated and AUGH I love complicated sapphic ships

[axelcreations]

5, 12 and 20?

5. Favorite Ships?

Amber/Saki (I hc that they be so sweet with each other in private but vehemently deny their relationship actually existing to anyone else)

MC/Aelita (Aelita is easily the closest to the MC besides Melia, they're PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER AUGH)

Melia/Venam (doomed yuri is ruining me AUGH)

Ren/Ariana (I always liked Ren with her specifically.)

12. Any headcanons?

Amber teaches MC how to play musical instruments, assuming MC doesn't know how to play any. There are a couple pause times in the main story where this can happen.

At the end of the 'Hero of Slime' quest, MC and Goomink re-enact the "I tip my hat to you, one legend to another" meme from Rango (2011).

I can't think of anything else sorryyyyyyy

20. What got me into Rejuv?

I always knew that Rejuv existed, around the same time as I first heard about Reborn years before I played that. After I beat Reborn, months later I checked the Rejuv general chat in Reborn Evolved out of curiosity, spoiled myself on some things out of morbid curiosity due to not knowing why the game was not running on my Mac (turns out i just had to enable Rosetta), but after that, I got into the game, shared my reactions with the friends that roped me into it, and the rest is history. This was back in January of 2023.

Happy Tuesday.

I’m calling it “Yurio Catches Puberty” as a working title. (PG for swearing and puberty.) (Warning for body image stuff, very minor.) 

***

"WHEN WILL THIS BE OVER?"

The scream of anguish from the rink's locker room shower made Yuuri look up sharply. He'd only arrived in St. Petersburg yesterday, but this couldn't be normal, even if nobody else seemed to be paying the slightest attention.

"AUGH!"

It was definitely Yurio.

"Yurio?" he started to ask, but Georgi clapped a hand over his mouth.

"Don't engage," he hissed.

Yuuri looked at him, wide-eyed.

"What's going on?" he whispered, as Yurio began a steady, at least quieter stream of cursing in Russian, then English, then Japanese that Yuuri definitely hadn't taught him.

"Puberty," Georgi said.

Yuuri blinked. "Puberty?" he asked.

Georgi gave him a disgusted look. "Of course," he mumbled to himself. "The golden boy didn't suffer puberty..."

He wandered off, now also cursing, and Yuuri had ten seconds of silence before Yurio kicked the shower door open and strode out, towel around his waist.

(There is a readmore below! Read more!)

"Look at this!" he yelled, pointing at his foot. "None of my skates fit! They fit yesterday! None of them fit now! AND THIS!" he added, shoving his arm under Yuuri's nose.

"Your arm?" Yuuri asked.

"MY BICEP. LOOK AT IT. I HAVE MUSCLES, this is TERRIBLE," Yurio roared. His voice cracked. Yuuri stared at him. "Nothing fits! None of my clothes. None of Victor's costumes!"

"You do seem...taller," Yuuri ventured.

"Don't remind me! My fucking CENTER OF BALANCE," Yurio growled. "You know what I can't do? A FUCKING QUAD. Because I no longer HAVE a center of balance!"

"Everyone has a center of balance," Yuuri said reasonably. "Yours has just...moved."

"Yeah, like a fucking bouncy ball," Yurio said, in his best sulking-about-Victor voice. Figured he could also use it to sulk about puberty. "Is it here today? Here?" Yurio pointed to his bellybutton, then his chest, then his dick. "No, let me tell you, it's very often here! I didn't need a sex drive!"

"Nobody needs one. They just sometimes happen," Yuuri said. He felt he was being very sensible and was drastically being ignored, a common feeling around Yurio.

"Well, why'd it have to happen to me?" Yurio demanded, as if he thought Yuuri might actually know.

Yuuri considered how Victor might answer this question, rejected that because he couldn't imagine it going well, and finally said solemnly, "Some trials are too great for our understanding."

He felt he did very well not laughing about this until after Yurio had grabbed his workout clothes and stormed out of the locker room to try and find some skates that fit.

***

He was only meant to be in St. Petersburg for a few days; he'd come to scout out a place to stay, to see Victor, and to bring some of his gear ahead. Officially he wouldn't be back to stay for another month. It was almost worse to see Victor and get to spend a few days with him and then have to go again, but once he was back for good he'd see Victor every day and probably be very tired of his coaching very soon, which was how he consoled himself.

He didn't get on the ice much after that first day, too tied up with finding an apartment, learning his way around the city, and evenings with Victor to do more than a perfunctory hour or two of practice, usually in the afternoon while he waited for Victor to be done. Yurio was in classes in the afternoons, and he didn't see much of him until the last day before he was supposed to leave.

Mostly what Yurio did on the ice was fall down. 

It was painful to watch, especially with the others watching as well, some of them making fun of his gangly new body. Yurio had always been all arms and legs, but he was bulking out with muscle, and what had once looked lithe and graceful now looked like it had been assembled by someone who didn't have the instructions in the right language.

Out of a sort of respect, Yuuri didn't do any quads during his skate. Still, he caught Yurio glaring at him after his last fall, before he stomped off the ice and into the locker room.

"Oh, leave him alone, he's probably rage-jerking again," Mila said.

"That's not very kind," Yuuri replied over his shoulder.

"Tell him that, I'm not the one who keeps kicking people because they happen to notice he's got a boner in spandex," she retorted.

Yurio wasn't doing anything indecent in the locker room when Yuuri walked in, at least. He was sitting on one of the benches, skates off, arms around his waist. The look of pure misery he gave Yuuri was heartbreaking.

"It's difficult," Yuuri said, avoiding the obvious hard joke.

"Yeah thanks for noticing," Yurio spat.

"More so when everyone around you is staring," Yuuri added.

"Do you have a point?" Yurio demanded.

"I don't know, I just thought you should know I understand. Remember season before last? When you called me a pig and a loser?"

"So now you come to kick me when I'm down? Go fuck yourself," Yurio managed, turning away.

"Humiliation in front of your friends -- "

"They're not my friends, I don't have friends!"

"Fine, your competition, it's worse, I know," Yuuri said. He saw Victor lurking in the doorway and shook his head; Victor nodded, squinted, and vanished.

"Did you fall a lot when you were growing?" Yurio asked.

Well, no, he hadn't. Puberty had touched him, of course, but he'd never felt awkward in his body, too used to having to fight it anyway; Yurio struggled with his body like they all did, but until now it had been to push it to its limits, not just to survive living in it. And Yuuri'd had pimples and inconvenient sex drive and a cracking voice, but those hadn't really bothered him. And he hadn't had them right after winning Senior Worlds.

"I fall a lot now," he said, which was the wrong thing to say.

"WHAT IF IT NEVER ENDS?" Yurio wailed. "What if I'm stuck like you forever?"

Yuuri bit down on his temper. He was 24; he could afford to be magnanimous to a miserable teenager. Who had only beaten him by a fraction of a point, something he would remind him of at a later date, and probably for the rest of their lives.

"Victor didn't start winning his consecutive championships until he was 22," he pointed out. "And he was very awkward in his last year at Juniors. It'll settle down, you're just in a growth spurt."

"Victor can blow me," Yurio said.

Yuuri's lips quirked. "Not without getting in a lot of trouble with me, he can't."

"Don't be gross."

"You started it," Yuuri said, thinking that being around Victor right now, confident, graceful, endlessly cheerful Victor, must be agony for the kid.

And that was when the Idea came to him. It was beautiful and terrible and it would ruin his month, but Yuuri knew all too well that he was his own worst enemy anyway, and he might as well let Evil Yuuri win sometimes.

"What if you had somewhere private to practice? At least that way you could fall in peace," he said.

***

Yuuri returned to Hasetsu with Russian nesting dolls for his mother, weird Russian snack food for his father, Russian booze for nearly everyone else, and a sullen Russian manchild trailing behind him. (Victor was looking after Potya, who betrayed Yurio immediately by curling up to sleep on top of Makkachin as soon as he arrived.)

"Yurio's going to stay with us," Yuuri announced, as Yurio inhaled a bowl of katsudon. "He's going to do his initial choreography at the Ice Castle. Then he'll come back with me to St. Petersburg."

"Aren't you growing like a weed!" his father said. Yurio growled ferally. Dad just beamed at him.

Thus began the many trials of Yuuri Katsuki. They included, but were not limited to:

Yuri's Angel's Hasetsu Local Branch: Co-Presidents Axel, Lutz, and Loop The Ballet Lesson Of Doom (singular) I Can Eat Three Bowls Of Katsudon, Just Watch Me The Only Time Yuri Plisetsky Ever Apologized To Anyone (Yuuri filmed it) The Ballet Lessons Of Doom (post-apology) Figure Skater Speed Skate Challenge!! Yurio Mortally Offends A Ninja But It Has A Tiger On It, Yuuri

And perhaps the greatest trial of all:

Otabek Found Out I Was Here And He's Naked In The Onsen, My Life Is Over.
