#i think z.elos fits the 'pretty' and yuri the 'handsome' and i mean this lovingly but fl.ynn has that baby face the wide blue eyes

i love kauf.man but honestly i have to laugh that every place yuri goes, the guy who doesn't give a damn about looks, someone is subconsciously flirting or hinting flirty comments or point blank going oh hey it's an unnaturally handsome man. and with kauf.man she has ulterior motives. she sees yuri as useful to her business and a potential worthwhile investment. she's just teasing him. but it's still hilarious. yuri obviously doesn't care about looks, save he does like to maintain his long long hair. the more people tell him to cut it i imagine the more he pulls an 'adult' little shit move and grows it out more, similar to how it was in fi.rst strike, which he still binds his hair like that sometimes ... if he can even afford cloth that is.

i also noted that the designer for yuri's design according to mars was basically, 'make him as attractive as possible' and i spit out my water i feel horribly bad for him and also laughed my ass off. like that's literally in his design notes of the art book i could never translate. and yet yuri is so uncomfortable and humble about things mostly due to his environment, personality and life experiences and the people who probably knew he was what, gonna be a serious looker? so they kept him humble. he's not a flirt. estelle point blank comments how awkward and uncomfortable he is showing any vulnerability which is a big damn mood. so someone telling him he's handsome just....yeah that is a big step away because he couldn't give a damn about looks when so many people are in need. but beauty is subjective so. yeah count him out.
