#pyotr x victor

[familyromantic]

I know you have brocon ocs (pyotr and viktor i think?) Id love to know more if you want to talk about them? Like tell me about their relationship and how their story goes?

Niceeeee I thought no one was interested, thank you for paying attention, anon 😘

Well, the Vilensky brothers are noblemen in Russian Empire, 19th century (I don't know the exact date, but I'd say around 1830-1860s). Pyotr is 28 at the time of the story, Victor is 26. Victor is a civilian official, Pyotr is an officer in the Army, and even was participating in Caucasian war. Actually, army career at this time was considered more prestigious, and this what Pyotr aimed for, to beat his brother. However, he never got the rank he wanted, because of his troublesome, hot-tempered personality, while Victor moved with his career very easily, being well-trusted and appreciated.

Brothers' relationship had always been tense. Pyotr couldn't accept that his younger brother was so "perfect" - talented, naturally charming and popular, smart. Physical strength and fighting skills were the only area where Pyotr exceeded his brother. Seeing how everyone favoured Victor, Pyotr decided that his brother must look down on him, that secretly he laughed at him. It was not true, but every Victor's action Pyotr interpreted as him showing his superiority, and became rude and distant with him. Victor sincerely tried to connect with him, but as the time went and Pyotr joined the army, he realised his brother was becoming more and more violent and merciless. He started thinking that maybe his attempts are futile, maybe Pyotr is irredeemable. When Victor learned Pyotr had a duel over some petty quarrel and killed the man (or almost killed, well you got the idea), the brothers had a fall over and Victor called him a heartless monster in the spur of the fight.

A couple of years later, Pyotr comes back from the war and kidnaps Victor's fiancée Katya, whom he got engaged to during these years. Pyotr forcibly marries her as an act of revenge, though he tries to pass it off as him being attracted to her. Then, Victor finds them and that's the first time they meet in the story.

As I think you probably guessed, Pyotr secretly harbours feelings for Victor, and he's extremely jealous of him and of his fiancée, which prompts him to do those disgraceful things. Victor thinks his brother is lost, but he still loves him. Pyotr is also the only one who can hurt Victor that deeply, Victor thinks he's not capable of being in love or generally having that high emotions, though he is a caring and good man.

Me making OCs love triangle where a girl has to pick between the "good" brother and "bad" brother, not knowing she has no choice cause the brothers want to screw each other

It's so funny to me how in most shows there's a love triangle involving a girl having to pick between the "good" brother and the "bad boy" brother, but in Supernatural this never happens because no girls stand a chance when Sam and Dean are always 2 seconds away from making out with each other 💀💀

Yuri!!! on ICE 各國選手的名字涵義

※本文同時張貼至PTT

自 YOI 開播以來，陸陸續續在 Tumblr 上看到了許多對於各個角色姓名意義的解析，不得不稱讚製作組連在命名這件事上都藏了很多小細節。可惜網路上的文章略為分散，不容易一目瞭然地看出這些小彩蛋，於是我就決定將各國選手的名字涵義集中整理成一份比較完整的文章，方便大家一起來感受一下這種JK羅琳式的燒腦命名法。

不過由於本人對語言領域並不熟悉，資料來源大多是上網蒐集整理 + Google翻譯，若有發現任何錯誤或疏漏之處，還請大家不吝指教！

那麼以下開始：

※角色姓名依照 中文翻譯/官網英譯(名在前，姓在後)/母語原文(取自Yuri!!! on Ice wikia) 的順序分別列出，名字原文若有和前兩項重複則省略。

※"(註x)"的部分是參考資料的連結。

勝生勇利/ Yuri Katsuki

「勝」生勇「利」，和中文一樣，在日文中也是勝利的意思。

勝生(Katsuki)：其中的katsu與日文的勝利(v.)(勝つ，katsu)以及豬排丼(カツ丼，katsudon)的開頭同音(註1)。 

1. Pash! 12月號，p.14 (參考翻譯)

維克多．尼基弗洛夫/ Victor Nikiforov/ Виктор Никифоров

Victor：勝利者。歐美區粉絲多拼為 Viktor，是由於 Виктор 較正確的羅馬拼音寫法是 Viktor。

Nikiforov：-ov 是男生姓氏的結尾(註2)。Niki 為古希臘文 Nike 的斯拉夫語系轉寫，Nike 意為勝利，也是希臘神話中勝利女神的名字(某運動品牌的就是以此命名)；for 則為古希臘文 phero，意為帶來。合在一起就是帶來勝利。(註3)    

尤里．普里榭茨基/ Yuri Plisetsky/ Юрий Плисецкий

Yuri：其實是先決定了尤里的暱稱為 Yurio 後，再從眾多俄羅斯名字中找出適合此暱稱的 Yuri (註4)。

Plisetsky：姓氏與俄國著名芭蕾舞者 Maya Plisetskaya 相同(註5)(俄文姓氏男女有別，男生以-y結尾的姓氏女生會以-aya結尾)(註6)。BTW, Plisetsky 音似皮羅什基( пирожки，Pirozhki)，就像勝生和豬排丼的關係一樣。

4. Yuri!!! on ICE 第二卷BD中的久保&內山評論音軌(參考翻譯)

披集．朱拉暖/ Phichit Chulanont/ พิชิต จุลานนท์

พิชิต(披集)：意指戰勝、征服。

จุลานนท์(朱拉暖)：與第24任泰國總理–素拉育．朱拉暖同姓，นนท์ 本身也是喜悅的意思。泰國的 YOI 粉絲通常會將披集的姓氏寫作 จุฬานนท์，似乎是為尊重現實人物避免與之連結而變化的寫法。

(註7、註8)

季光虹/ Guang-Hong Ji

請自行意會# 不過既然是最熟悉的語言……

季：以伯仲叔季的「季」做為姓氏，代表花滑競技中的新生代。

光虹：中國之「光」。

以上只是藍色窗簾、穿鑿附會XD 希望有人能提供更好的解釋~

雷歐．德．拉．伊格萊希亞/ Leo de la Iglesia

Leo：拉丁文的獅子。

de la Iglesia：西班牙文，= of the church。(註9)

全名「教堂中的獅子」，獅子又被稱為萬獸之王，看來這個名字也是挺有王者風範的。

李承吉/ Seung Gil Lee/ 이 승길

이(李)：朝鮮王朝統治者的姓氏。

승(承)：依照不同的漢字寫法能有不同的意思，除了「承」以外，亦可寫作「勝」。(註10)

길(吉)：有道路之義，승길合起來大概就是勝利之路的意思。

(註11)

JJ(尚·傑克·勒萊)/ Jean-Jacques Leroy

Leroy：從法文 le roi 而來，意思是 the king。King JJ 當之無愧。

奧塔貝克．奧爾丁/ Otabek Altin/ Отабек Алтын

Алтын(奧爾丁)：哈薩克語，意為黃金。

米歇爾．克里斯畢諾/ Michele Crispino

Crispino：義大利文的 Crispin，源自西元三世紀的羅馬殉教者 Saint Crispin，Crispin 有個雙胞胎兄弟名為 Crispinian。 (註12)

南 健次郎/ Kenjiro Minami 

由兩位同為九州出生的日本男單花滑選手–南里康晴 與 中庭健介，兩人的名字揉合變化而來。

格奧爾基．波波維奇/ Georgi Popovich/ Георгий Попович 

Георгий (格奧爾基)：George。

Попович(波波維奇)：雖然可能是單純的巧合，但 Попович 發音有一點類似柴可夫斯基的名字 Пётр Ильи́ч (Pyotr Ilyich)，而波波SP的曲子正好就是出自於柴可夫斯基的睡美人中，Lilac 仙子擊退魔女 Carabosse 那一幕裡的  Carabosse 出場音樂。又如果把 Попович 丟到 google翻譯可以得到「牧師之子」這樣的答案。

以下兩位選手我能查到的名字涵義資料比較少、和角色或勝利的關聯度也比較低，需要大家的補充 ><

克里斯多夫．賈科梅蒂/ Christophe Giacometti

Christophe：法文的 Christopher。

Giacometti：姓氏同20世紀的一位瑞士藝術家 Alberto Giacometti，可以在瑞士的100法郎鈔票上看到他的肖像。(註13)

艾米爾．尼可拉/ Emil Nekola

Emil：源自羅馬 Aemilius 家族， Aemilius 則是源自拉丁文 aemulus，意思是對手。(註14)

整理完後我只覺得這是一群各種意義上的人生贏家

名字裡不是勝利，就是王者、光、黃金(金牌)……

Hyperallergic: Art Movements

A new mural by Banksy in Dover (via banksy.co.uk)

Art Movements is a weekly collection of news, developments, and stirrings in the art world. Subscribe to receive these posts as a weekly newsletter.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art filed a formal proposal with the City of New York to charge admission to out-of-state visitors.

Russian dissident artist Pyotr Pavlensky and his partner, Oksana Shalygina, were granted political asylum in France. The pair fled Russia after an actress accused them of sexual assault, a charge they claim is politically motivated.

A new large-scale mural by Banksy appeared overnight in Dover. The work depicts a metalworker chipping away at one of the stars of the EU flag. The work was vandalized 24 hours after it first appeared.

The June 4th Museum, the only museum dedicated to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, will reopen in a temporary space. The institution was forced to close last year after facing a lawsuit regarding building permits. Albert Ho, the chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance, which runs the museum, said��he believed the lawsuit was politically motivated.

The Portland Art Museum raised $27 million for an expansion project without acquiring legal permission for the requisite construction. “It’s a pretty big error in judgment,” planning consultant Peter Finley Fry told the Willamette Week. “Control of the site is the most important critical first step. If you’re going to spend millions, you [must] control the property legally before you start.”

A report by Cartooning for Peace condemned 10 countries — including Russia, Turkey, and India — for threatening, censoring, and imprisoning cartoonists.

Artist Matt Furie, the creator of Pepe the Frog, symbolically killed off the character after conceding it had been co-opted by the so-called “alt-right.” In September 2016, the Clinton campaign took the unprecedented step of publishing an explainer on the use of the character as a racist meme by white supremacist groups.

The death of Pepe the Frog (via mattfurie.tumblr.com)

Artist Victor Ehikhamenor accused Damien Hirst of appropriating Nigerian history by failing to provide context for a new work directly inspired by the “Ife Head,” a renowned, centuries-old Nigerian sculpture that was discovered in 1938. In a statement, Hirst’s office said that the “Ife Head” was referred to in an accompanying text and that his latest series “celebrate[s] original and important artworks from the past.”

The Delaware Art Museum placed images of over 500 items from its collection online. Highlights include photographs of John Sloan in his studio and the letters of Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

Sotheby’s launched an annual $250,000 prize to fund “ground-breaking, thought-provoking exhibitions and curatorial initiatives” at museums. The inaugural jury includes Sir Nicholas Serota, Connie Butler, Okwui Enwezor, and Donna de Salvo. The prize is intended to counter the prevalence of single-artist retrospectives and blockbuster shows.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is projected to open in November, according to a report by The Art Newspaper.

Artist and Oscar-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen is set to direct an authorized, full-length documentary on rapper Tupac Shakur, according to Deadline.

Roger Waters expressed his approval of New World Design Ltd’s proposal to obscure the façade of Chicago’s Trump Tower with a row of golden balloon pigs. The proposed one-time art project is directly inspired by Pink Floyd’s 1977 album Animals.

Transactions

Pyotr: I think it's time for you to know. You're an adult and you should try to understand...

Pyotr: Me and your uncle Vitya are together.

Pyotr's son: Wow. I thought you were accidentally living together all your life, raising me like I'm your shared son, and never finding real wives (cause uncle's marriage is the fakest thing I've ever seen). Thanks for telling. It's not like mother already told me years ago how you both dated her then dumped her for each other, totally not. Also, you can stop pretending you keep the old military uniform in good shape because it's nostalgic and not because [beep]
