love how the older skaters in the senior division give Yurio encouragement and that each time it pisses Yurio off. JJ is intentionally condescending so that makes sense, but with Viktor and Yuuri they're not even being condescending. Yurio's just dialed in on being a hater... and i love that for him <3

#'plot twist i LOBV you' -Yuuri #'i am going to skin you alive' -Yurio #yuri on ice #sometimes he is a teenager #he's got so much fury in his tiny body. and yet he is also just an earnest lad. i find him sooo funny silly #which he would hate me for!!#I recall a meta post about Otabek being the first one to verbally recognize how hard Yurio devotes himself to skate and I really dig that #like I think Yurio's frustration is justifiably rooted in how little others take him seriously despite his life-consuming dedication #I DO think he is over the top and i enjoy this; for it is entertaining.#but i also think his feelings are genuine and he is a complex little guy.#i'm thinking of him sharing his grandpa's food with Yuuri and being emotionally vulnerable with him at the waterfall #Yurio is a hater on his opponents (and Viktor) but I think on some level he recognizes the genuine care Yuuri+Viktor show him #I think Yurio doesn't understand how they can be encouraging to him while also taking him seriously #Cuz Yurio is so wary of his elders dismissing him #so older skaters being friendly translates in his head as 'they dont think i can beat them / they dont see me as an equal'#But I think when these relationships are removed from that competitive atmosphere Yurio DOES see how they care and he appreciates it.#It would be so sweet to see an older Yurio reflect on this time and realize that Viktor + Yuuri + others DID take him seriously #and just because they were fond of him it doesnt mean they didnt appreciate his talent.#tbh being a young athlete must be such a mindfuck and idk how these bitches do it. send tweet #yuri plisetsky #yoi meta #queue #my words #AWW right after writng this i watched the part where Yurio starts yelling encouragement to Yuuri #who internally tells himself 'i got more stamina than that fuckin Yurio mf' (paraphrasing lol)#they switched love languages <3 cheerleader & hater role reversal
