do you do account recommendations? i'm trying to look for yoi only accounts on tumblr and especially twitter. it's really hard trying to look for yoi only accounts on twitter at the moment since there's so many new shows popping up. thanks so much! 😁
I’ve never actually done recommendations, but I can give it a try.
If you’re looking for Twitter accounts specifically, here’s a few of my faves that are mostly YOI-centric and at least fairly active (forgive me if this gets long):
mandolinearts
Kathe is a sweetie who does really cute YOI art. I especially love her work with flowers!
ravensmoresfics
Raven’s a writer I’ve only recently gotten to know, but from what I’ve seen so far, her writing is really lovely.
victuuriplease
I think we all at least know of Amanda (astudyinrose), but in case you don’t, she’s an absolute fandom staple, best known for her fic, Empty Spaces Between Stars.
louciferish
Lou is not only a writer but a mod as well on many cool projects! She modded for the YOI horror zine, for which I was an invited writer, and I know she works extremely hard.
rainysorarts
I don’t know Rainy personally, but we’re mutuals, and their art is so good. Detailed but at the same time so fluffy and warm.
cirrha_hearts
Cirrha’s art is packed full of color and action! It’s always a pleasure to see her in a zine.
softestvitya
Jenny! You can always count on her to deliver that good, good content. Follow her for great fics!
rosereleasesart
Rose is both an artist and a writer! You might be familiar with their mer!Vitya + sea witch!Yuuri AU.
katzuyas
Kat is a fic writer and does a lot to support the YOI community. (Be aware if you follow her that both the work she produces and the things she reblogs can be occasionally n/s/f/w!)
edemimsy
I believe Emma’s still on a fandom hiatus, but she’s another person who’s both a writer and an artist!
kazul9
Bacon!!!!!! You may know her as the author of Resplendent, an amazing Hades/Persephone AU (which I’m still in the process of reading; sorry, but I am a s o f t b a b y who needs breaks in between you breaking my heart.)
nikiforoov
We all know Alli~ They’re a fandom juggernaut, incredible talent, and forever senpai.
boredbaph
Baph... like literally does YOI art every day. It’s incredible. Are they human? No, they are plant. A very friendly fandom plant.
thehobbem
Robbie does zine management, does fics, and supports artists. What more could you ask for? Shaped like a friend.
There are plenty more I could put here, but I think that’s a sizable enough list. You can always find more at my own Twitter. I’m pretty YOI-centric and active myself, so I guess you could consider me part of the recs too, if that’s what you’re looking for~

Valentine’s Day Victuuri Collab
The #wwvvalentinesdaycollab Masterpost
To celebrate the discord server of WeWriteVictuuri (and also to see how successful it would be to host events there, in case of a tumblr breakdown), last December the WWV admins decided to organise a server-wide collab project. Every member of the server could participate, whether they were a contributor to the WWV blog at the time or not.
The goal was to give people an opportunity to work on a pressure-free collaborative piece together with somebody randomly assigned to them and to get to know another YOI fan a little bit more in the process.
Below, under the cut, we present to you a list of works created by our collaborators, celebrating Yuuri and Victor’s love. Remember to give all the participants some love <3 Enjoy!
- WeWriteVictuuri Team
Join us today! | About | FAQ | Guidelines | Request a discord server invite
#1 - all i want is you (ao3)
Who would have thought that Viktor and Yuuri's first Valentine's Day would be so stressful? Definitely not Viktor and Yuuri. (Makkachin might have suspected something but she never said a word.)
or: Viktor and Yuuri prepare for their first Valentine's Day together. They both try very hard.
fic by @victuurikatsu and @belovedyuuri art by @victuurikatsu
#2 - backwards forwards undo (ao3)
A box of magic chocolates arrives in the mail. Each one transports the eater back to any moment of their choosing. Yuuri quickly finds that correcting the past moments he's less than proud of doesn't quite work out as envisioned.
fic by @paintingwithwords and @littorella art by @littorella
#3 - confectionately yours (ao3)
As for Mr. Katsuki’s fancy, many dared say they’d managed to capture it only to find him equally courteous and kind with someone else. It was his felicity then that he need not know how many hearts he’d unknowingly won, for surely such an understanding would only drive him further into his solitude. He had come to England to further instruct himself in his trade, and having done so and wishing to see if his instruction held, was quite happy spending his days working and his company to his customers.
It was natural, he supposed, given that he too was a working man, to find more of a kindred heart amongst those who knew what hard work was like and so, in his complacency and natural realm of comfort, it was only to be expected that sooner or later, he might find himself with a suitable match.
A match that would come, even if Yuuri wasn’t exactly looking for a match to begin with, and even if, the man in question was not exactly all that he appeared to be at first glance.
fic by @abarero art by @glitterburg
#4 - Victuuri Valentine’s Day Instagram posts
art by @cirrha and @estellie
#5 - Color me True (ao3)
One moment he was in his apartment in the middle of a blackout. In the next, he’s lying on the ground, soft grass caressing his skin as he stared up at a bright grey sky.
With a groan, he sat up rubbing his head as he willed the ache to go away.
This was not how he was supposed to spend Valentine’s day.
The story in which missing pieces are found, dogs are well loved, and love goes all around.
fic by @catefish art by @antarespromise
#6 - Souls Unleashed (ao3)
Trying to determine what, exactly, having a particular kind of familiar means about your soul or personality is nigh-on-impossible — cultures around the world have failed to come to any sort of consensus over the course of millennia — but if there’s one thing everyone agrees on, it’s that having matching familiars is something along the lines of being soulmates.
So, spotting another poodle for the first time in his twenty-seven years of life has to mean something, doesn’t it? At least, that’s what Viktor thinks.
fic by @iwritebetterthanispeak and @tasty-pile-of-glitter
#7 - to love and to be loved (ao3)
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Yuuri.” He stepped forward with one intention for the day: to live, to love, and to be loved in turn.
fic by @bonetrinket art by @anonbaph
#8 - respite (ao3)
A relaxing interlude in the life of Yuuri Katsuki and Victor Nikiforov.
fic by @everymanwillbeaking art by opemjamjar
more to be added <3

Coolest Cirrha
@cirrha‘s impressive action-oriented work is always full of dynamic movement and bursting from the page. Whether it’s moody black and white or a shock of bright colors, her work is always just plain cool.
So how do they decide on color?
I like to pick colors that pop out. My pieces tend to lean more on looking saturated when I color 😅. I guess I'm most comfortable with black/white because all I did was sketch before going digital but I'm trying to break out of that (and learn!)
And color isn’t the only thing that makes the art so engaging. There always seems to be more to know.
I definitely make up stories of whatever I draw. Even if it's something as simple as a character standing, to me, they're looking at another character off the screen. Kinda like capturing a moment in time 😆. But the scene plays out in my head as I draw it, over and over again.
Check Cirrha out and feel infinitely cooler for it :O

There is no one original version of this story (or any Greek myth), the myth is retold by different authors in their works. One detailed accounts is given by Ovid in his Metamorphoses, there are descriptions of artworks of Hyacinthus done by Philostratus the elder and Philostratus the younger. (I've linked to the translation of their work, so give it a read if you can, those 3 are my favorite)
Some other sources are:
Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 16 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Aphrodite, furious with [the Muse] Kleio (Clio). . . caused her to fall in love with Magnes' son Pieros (Pierus). As a result of their union she bore him a son Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus). Thamyris, son of Philammon and the Nymphe Argiope, the first male to love other males, fell in love with Hyakinthos. Later on Apollon, who also loved him, accidentally killed him with a discus."
Hesiod, Catalogues of Women Fragment 102 (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or 7th B.C.) :
". . rich-tressed Diomede; and she bare Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus), the blameless one and strong . . .whom, on a time Phoibos (Phoebus) [Apollon] himself slew unwittingly with a ruthless disk."
Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3. 116 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Amyklas (Amyclas) and Lapithes' daughter Diomede had Kynortes (Cynortes) and Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus). They tell how this Hyakinthos was loved by Apollon, who accidentally killed him while hurling a discus."
Bion, Poems 11 (trans. Edmonds) (Greek bucolic C2nd to 1st B.C.) :
"When he beheld thy [Hyakinthos'] agony Phoibos (Phoebus) [Apollon] was dumb. He sought every remedy, he had recourse to cunning arts, he anointed all the wound, anointed it with ambrosia and with nectar; but all remedies are powerless to heal the wounds of Fate."
Pausanias, Description of Greece 3. 1. 3 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) :
"Amyklas (Amyclas), son of Lakedaimon (Lacedaemon), wished to leave some memorial behind him, and built [Amyklai (Amyclae)] a town in Lakonia. Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus), the youngest and most beautiful of his sons, died before his father, and his tomb is in Amyklai below the image of Apollon. On the death of Amyklas the empire came to Aigalos (Aegalus), the eldest of his sons, and afterwards, when Aigalos died, to Kynortas (Cynortas). Kynortas had a son Oibalos (Oebalus)."
Plutarch, Numa 4 :
And therefore it is no mistake when the ancient poets tell their tales of the love Apollo bore Phorbas, Hyacinthus, and Admetus, as well as the Sicyonian Hippolytus also, of whom it is said, that, as often as he set out to sail from Sicyon to Cirrha, the Pythian priestess, as though the god knew of his coming and rejoiced
Colluthus, Rape of Helen 240 ff (trans. Mair) (Greek poetry C5th to 6th A.D.) :
"The shrine of Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus) [at Amyklai (Amyclae) in Lakedaimonia], whom once while he played as a boy with Apollon the people of Amyklai marked and marvelled whether he too had not been conceived and borne by Leto to Zeus. But Apollon knew not that he was keeping the youth for envious Zephyros (the West Wind). And the earth, doing a pleasure to the weeping king, brought forth a flower to console Apollon, even that flower which bears the name of the splendid youth."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 2. 80 ff (trans. Rouse) (Greek epic C5th A.D.) :
"The fresh-flowering garden was laid waste [by a storm], the rosy meadows withered; Zephyros (the West Wind) was beaten by the dry leaves of whirling cypresses. Phoibos (Phoebus) [Apollon] sang a dirge in lamentable tones for his devastated iris (hyakinthos), twining a sorrowful song, and lamented far more bitterly than for his clusters of Amyklaian (Amyclaean) flowers, when the laurel by his side was struck."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 3. 153 ff :
"On the learned leaves of Apollon's mournful iris [i.e. the flower of Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus)] was embroidered many a plant-grown word; and when Zephyros (the West Wind) breathed through the flowery garden, Apollon turned a quick eye upon his young darling, his yearning never satisfied; if he saw the plant beaten by the breezes, he remembered the quoit, and trembled for fear the wind, so jealous once about the boy, might hate him even in a leaf: if it is true that Apollon once wept with those eyes that never wept, to see that boy writhing in the dust, and the pattern there on the flower traced its own ‘alas!’ on the iris, and so figured the tears of Phoibos (Phoebus)."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 10. 253 ff :
"The deathbringing breath of Zephyros might blow again, as it did once before when the bitter blast killed a young man while it turned the hurtling quoit against Hyakinthos."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 11. 362 ff :
"A young Lakonian [Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus)] shook Zephyros (the West Wind); but he died, and the amorous Wind found young Kyparissos (Cyparissus) a consolation for Amyklaian Hyakinthos."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 29. 95 ff :
"Apollon bemoaned Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus), struck by the quoit which brought him quick death, and reproached the blast of Zephyros (the West Wind's) jealous gale."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 29. 101 ff :
Send me here Phoibos our brother, who knows the art of healing all pains, and he will make the boy whole. But stay, my voice! Leave Phoibos undisturbed in Olympos, or I may provoke him by recalling the wound of his beloved Hyacinthos.
Claudian, Rape of Proserpine 2. 130 ff (trans. Platnauer) (Roman poetry C4th A.D.) :
"[Persephone and her nymphs gather flowers :] Thee also, Hyacinthus, they gather, thy flower inscribed with woe, and Narcissus too--once lovely boys, now the pride of flowering spring. Thou, Hyacinthus, wert born at Amyclae, Narcissus was Helicon's child; thee the errant discus slew; him love of his stream-reflected face beguiled; for thee weeps Delos' god [Apollon] with sorrow-weighted brow; for him Cephisus with his broken reeds."
Pseudo-Hyginus, Fabulae 271 (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Youths who were most handsome. Adonis, son of Cinyras and Smyrna, whom Venus [Aphrodite] loved. Endymion, son of Aetolus, whom Luna [Selene] loved. Ganymede, son of Erichthonius, whom Jove [Zeus] loved. Hyacinthus, son of Oebalus, whom Apollo loved. Narcissus, son of the river Cephisus, who loved himself . . ."
Euripides, Helen 1441:
It may be thou wilt find the daughters of Leucippus beside the brimming river or before the temple of Pallas, when at last with dance and revelry thou joinest in the merry midnight festival of Hyacinthus, him whom Phoebus slew in the lists by a quoit hurled o'er the mark; wherefore did the son of Zeus ordain that Laconia's land should set apart that day for sacrifice;
Tatian, Adress to the Greeks 8 :
Let the far-shooting god tell me how Zephyrus slew Hyacinthus. Zephyrus conquered him; and in accordance with the saying of the tragic poet: "A breeze is the most honourable chariot of the gods," - conquered by a slight breeze, Apollo lost his beloved.
Philostratus, Heroica 7.30 :
He used to sing of the ancient comrades, Hyacinthus and Narcissus, and something about Adonis.
Greek Anthology 9.751 Plato The Younger :
The stone is Hyacinthus, and on it are Apollo and Daphne. Of which was Apollo rather the lover?
Oppian Of Apamea, Cynegetica Or The Chase 1.300 :
the Laconians contrived a subtle device for their dear wives when they are pregnant. Near them they put pictures of beautiful forms, even the youths that aforetime were resplendent among mortal men, Nireus and Narcissus and Hyacinthus of the goodly ashen spear, and Castor with his helmet, and Polydeuces that slew Amycus, and the youthful twain who are admired among the blessed gods, laurel-crowned Phoebus and Dionysus of the ivy wreath. And the women rejoice to behold their lovely form and, fluttered by their beauty, bear beautiful sons.
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 19. 102 ff :
Apollo brought to life again his longhaired Hyacinthos: Staphylos will be made to live for aye by Dionysos.
Pausanias, Description of Greece 3. 19. 3 - 5 :
"[In the temple of Apollon at Amyklai (Amyclae) :] The pedestal of the statue [of Apollon] is fashioned into the shape of an altar and they say that Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus) is buried in it, and at the Hyakinthia (Hyacinthia), before the sacrifice to Apollon, they devote offerings to Hyakinthos as to a hero into this altar through a bronze door, which is on the left of the altar. On the altar are wrought in relief Demeter, the Maid, Plouton, next to them Fates and Seasons, and with them Aphrodite, Athena and Artemis. They are carrying to heaven Hyacinthus and Polyboea, the sister, they say, of Hyacinthus, who died a maid. Now this statue of Hyacinthus represents him as bearded, but Nikias (Nicias) [painter fl. c. 320 B.C.], son of Nikomedes, has painted him [Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus)] in the very prime of youthful beauty, hinting at the love of Apollon for Hyakinthos of which legend tells . . . As for Zephyros (the West Wind), how Apollon unintentionally killed Hyakinthos, and the story of the flower, we must be content with the legends"
Colluthus, Rape of Helen 240 ff (trans. Mair) (Greek poetry C5th to 6th A.D.) :
"The shrine of Hyakinthos [i.e. at Amyklai]."
About the festival celebrated in the honor of Hyacinthus:
Ovid, Metamorphoses 10. 218 (trans. Brookes More) (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"And Sparta certainly is proud to honor Hyacinthus as her son; and his loved fame endures; and every year they celebrate his solemn festival."
Pausanias, Description of Greece 3. 10. 1 :
"[The historic Spartan general] Agesilaus again marched with an army against Korinthos (Corinth) [late 4th B.C.], and, as the festival Hyakinthia (Hyacinthia) was at hand, he gave the Amyklaians (Amyclaeans) leave to go back home and perform the traditional rites in honor of Apollon and Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus)."
Pausanias, Description of Greece 4. 19. 4 :
"[During the Second Messenian War C7th B.C. :] Now the Lakedaimonians (Lacedaemonians), as the festival of Hyakinthos was approaching, made a truce of forty days with the men of Eira [in Messenia]. They themselves returned home to keep the feast."
Herodotus, Histories 9. 6 . 1 - 7. 1 (trans. Godley) (Greek historian C5th B.C.) :
"[During the historic Persian War.] They [the Athenians] also sent envoys to Lakedaimon (Lacedaemon), who were to upbraid the Lakedaimonians for permitting the barbarian to invade Attika (Attica) and not helping the Athenians to meet him in Boiotia (Boeotia) and warn them that the Athenians would devise some means of salvation for themselves if the Lakedaimonians sent them no help. The Lakedaimonians were at this time celebrating the Hyakinthia (Hyacinthia) (festival of Hyakinthos), and their chief concern was to give the god [Apollon] his due."
(Detailed account about the festival is given by Athenaeus.)
Hope that helped! 😁
HELP
Can someone please tell me where the myth of Hyacinthus and Apollo was written down? Like where is this myth from? Where can I read it not as a summary on a website? Someone help me I am losing the small amount of sanity I had left looking for the original version, not summary, of this myth.
