i don't want a sex dungeon i want a whole castle with entire wings dedicated to different kinks and activities. a ballroom where people can dress in their finest and dance to classical music before the exhibitionists are brought out and put on display for the guest's amusement. floors and floors of basements with harder and harder kinks so you can literally descend into your darkest desires. libraries and classrooms and thronerooms and chapels for you to fully immerse yourself in roleplay. rope rooms with hooks built into the ceiling and walls for any number of suspension activities. rooms lined with pillows and bedding for orgies and different room for cuddling. And of course, a lovely mess hall where people can get snacks.

is that too much to ask?

[parker-d-bloodrose]

I love him so much. He's such a good boy.

"Arguments" Viktor and Yuuri have had over the years (Part 1)

1) Which of them is the better singer 

Yuuri insists that it’s Viktor, while Viktor insists the opposite. In reality, it’s definitely Yuuri. 

Their friends witness the (ridiculous) extent of Yuuri’s lack of objectivity during their joint bachelor party, which they host in Tokyo. While at a famous karaoke bar, Yuuri acquiesces to Phichit’s begging for him to perform something and is grateful that his fiance is willing to join him on stage for a slightly drunken rendition of Favourite Colour, by Carly Rae Jepsen. 

Neither Viktor nor Yuuri are bothered by how repetitive the lyrics are, because they’re too busy getting lost in each others’ eyes (which is fitting, considering the line “Eyes that show kaleidoscopes”).

Afterwards, Viktor stumbles off to get them more champagne, and Mila and Sara give Yuuri a few appreciative thumps on the back when he sits back down.

“You sounded great, Yuuri! And what a beautiful song!” Georgi exclaims, looking predictably teary-eyed. (Yurio’s eye roll is nearly audible when he begins to sniffle into a handkerchief.)

Yuuri gives Georgi a shy smile and ducks his head.

“Ahh, thanks Gosha. It’s all thanks to Vitya. His command of melody is so fluid and distinct,” he replies, knowing full well how dreamy he sounds. But you know what? Sue him: this is his bachelor party, he’s allowed to come off a bit lovesick. 

Due to his staring off into the distance while fondly recalling the performance they’d put on not even two minutes prior, he fails to notice the bewildered looks his friends exchange.

“Uhhh…Yuuri? You’re joking right?” Leo de la Iglesia pipes up, though his tone is more diplomatic than it could be. “You’re definitely the better singer. Please tell me you know that.”

Yuuri blinks a bit owlishly and then swivels his head around to see that Otabek, Seung-Gil, Yuuko and his sister are all staring at him with matching expression of exasperation. Otabek rarely looks so invested in anything. 

It’s unnerving.

“Vik-chan sounds like an unhinged cockatoo when he hums, let alone sings,” Takeshi deadpans before beginning to chug sake like its water. 

Yuuri bristles, feeling his hackles raise as they used to do on internet figure skating forums circa the early 2010’s.

“And since when did you become an avian expert?” he huffs, making Yurio give a reluctant snort-laugh. “Vitya has a beautiful voice! He’s definitely the better singer!”

The sizable quantity of alcohol he’s imbibed has made him lose all sense of time and relativity, because though Christophe later informs him that he’s been ranting about this for five minutes, it feels like only five seconds later that Viktor is making his way back over to their table. He’s scarcely set down the two bottles of champagne he’s bought before Phichit is gripping onto the collar of his dress shirt with something akin to desperation. 

“Viktor, put us out of our misery, I beg you!” his best friend exclaims, apparently so distressed that he hasn’t bothered to check his phone in a whole three minutes. “Please make your fiance see reason: he won’t stop going on and on about how you’re the better singer!”

Immediately, Viktor’s eyes darken, a stormy glint brewing in them that is actually somewhat intimidating. 

But when he opens his mouth, his voice is distinctly whiny.

“Yushaaaa, we’ve been over this!!” Viktor cries out in an, admittedly, grating tone.

But before Yuuri can offer his rebuttal, that same phrase – Yushaaaa, we’ve been over this!! –  cuts through the air again.

And again. 

And again.

Yurio is holding his phone up high, the volume on full blast so that the recording he’s captured of Viktor’s pouting plays over and over. It is, indisputably, a maddening assault on the ears. 

His grimace pretty much speaks for all of them.

“Really, Katsudon? This squawking, strident clamor is the voice you’re so enamored with?”

Yuuri decides to concede his point, but makes sure to do so as childishly as possible. 

2) Whether or not they should stage an angsty roleplay set shortly after the Sochi Banquet 

This is an idea Viktor claims is “absolutely necessary” in order for him to properly fulfill his choreographing duties, and while it’s one of their more crack-ish/extra arguments, give this a read and then tell me that you don’t see something like this actually happening. 

It comes up during the off-season, after a fellow Yubileyny rinkmate commissions Viktor to choreograph a wrenching program meant to capture the pain of unrequited love. But Viktor finds himself struggling to deliver on her ask. After all, he and Yuuri are smitten newlyweds, and, according to Yurio, “more nauseating than ever". As such, their Sochi banquet miscommunication feels light-years away, given the trust they’ve built in their relationship since then. 

It’s at Mila’s (joking) suggestion that Viktor’s wheels begin turning: what if they stage an angsty roleplay, meant to conjure the same sense of angst Viktor experienced during that period of pining after the Sochi banquet? But instead of Yuuri not remembering their magical night of dancing, suppose they dial up the heartbreak one step further so that Viktor can then channel that anguish into the perfect choreography commission piece? 

Specifically, what if Yuuri – now back home in Detroit, and gearing up for Japanese Nationals – explains in a pinched tone over the phone that he’s changed his mind about asking Viktor to become his coach?

The reason? 

Well, obviously, it's because Yuuri has fallen head over heels in love with Christophe: something he didn’t fully realize until he began having lurid dreams, starring the two of them tag-teaming on the pole. The way their limbs deftly entwined and untangled in a seamless rhythm…what other explanation was there for it, other than the fact that he and Christophe are true ‘polemates’?? (Remember my earlier caveat that this was crack-ish?)

Unsurprisingly, Yuuri is extremely unimpressed with this idea. 

Even more so when he sees the “script” Viktor has written for them to play off of.

“Vitya, there’s no way I’d be able to even say these words without laughing,” he complains, poring over the 16-page sheaf of papers his husband had thrust into his face as soon as he'd walked into their office room.

“‘The overhead lights of the banquet hall reflected off of Christophe’s abs, and suddenly, every worry that had ever plagued me fell away’,” he reads, in a stilted tone. “‘Vicchan, who? All that mattered in that moment was the way Christophe nimbly transitioned from a Bird of Paradise to a Reiko pose, thereby irrevocably capturing my heart in the process’.”

Yurio, Georgi, and Mila are roaring with laughter in the background as he speaks, because, for some confounding reason, Viktor felt that their presence was required for his script reveal. To everyone’s amazement – especially considering the absolute ridiculousness of the script – Viktor breaks down sobbing during their first practice round and Yuuri has to put a stop to the charade, very wisely noting that this roleplay would be doing neither of them a favor in terms of their mental health. (Afterwards, they have a tearful heart-to-heart where Yuuri invokes a repeat of his Chihoko incident promise: “I could search the whole world but no one is better than you, Viten’ka, even if your pole-dancing skills are extremely lacking!” This is music to Viktor’s ears.)

3) Whether or not Viktor should take on additional students, apart from Yuuri

Oh, you sweet, summer child: you thought this post would be all fun and games, didn’t you? Perhaps the quote marks around the word 'arguments' lulled you into a false sense of security.

WELL, SORRY TO BREAK YOUR HEART

If you’ve read my post-canon fanfiction, you might be familiar with my headcanon that Viktor would eventually take on Yurio as a student, sometime after he retires (and once Yakov retires, which he really needs to do, that poor man). In some ways, I think the two of them as a coach-student pair would be catastrophic, and in other ways, I think it would be extremely successful. (This is assuming Yurio sheds some of his age-typical angst and matures a bit to the point where he doesn’t openly scoff at everything Viktor says.)

One thing I wonder about is how Yuuri might react to this initial proposal. I think there’s a lot here to potentially examine. 

For one, if Yakov is the one to suggest the idea, I think it would mean a lot to Viktor, especially considering how unsupportive Yakov initially was when he flew off to Hasetsu. 

For his former coach to be the one to suggest that Viktor take Yurio on as a student…I honestly think it would heal any latent rift that still existed between them, because it would be an acknowledgment that Yakov sees Viktor as a truly capable coach, and someone who isn’t only governed by romantic whims. (Though by this point, a few years post-canon, I imagine that anyone could see that Viktor truly can grow and be the kind of coach a top-tier athlete needs to succeed. This is more than evident from Yuuri’s PyeongChang Olympic gold medal, a World Champion title or two, a Grand Prix Final victory or two, etc.).

And while Viktor would never dream of making an actual decision on the matter without first having a few robust discussions with Yuuri – because his husband will always be his first priority – maybe Yuuri’s anxiety causes him to jump to conclusions.

Maybe he hears the excitement in Viktor’s voice – excitement that only extends to Viktor’s feeling of pride that Yakov thinks him capable of coaching Yura, not any sort of actual anticipation around accepting the offer – and he thinks that Viktor has already made up his mind to say yes. And from there, it’s a short leap for Yuuri’s mind to do what comes so naturally: to compare himself to Yura, and find all the ways in which he might be lacking as a student. Never mind the fact that he’s the reigning Olympic champion, that he’s won one or more World titles, that he’s continued to expand his jump repertoire so that now many people say that his quads are better than Viktor’s ever were…his anxiety doesn't care about any of that.

Yura and Viktor have a history that began long before him, and if Viktor starts coaching him, then won’t it only be a matter of time before Yuuri is left behind? (No, Yuuri, you infuriatingly lovely fool, THAT’S JUST YOUR ANXIETY TALKING!)

Ahhh, the angst potential is so ripe! One of these days, maybe I’ll get around to writing a fic about this.

For now, I hope you enjoyed these headcanons, and look out for a part 2! In the meantime, feel free to let me know of your own ideas around their arguments (lighthearted or otherwise).

Our Wonderland Themesongs Masterpost or Whatever

Out of excitement for the Our Wonderland finale (which is coming out next month!), I've written an incredibly long post sharing one song I associate with each of the main 4 characters (and also Cecil is there), as well as songs for my favorite ships. Come imagine AMVs with me, under the cut!~

To start off, a song that I associate broadly with the plot of OW is Leopard by Jack Stauber. For most of the other songs, I'll pick out certain lyrics to highlight/site my sources lol, but with this one I'd prefer not to because all of the lyrics are The Lyrics. Every time we change, it's a game, okay? Cool.

Characters

🥩Iggy: Devil Town- Bright Eyes (x)

All my friends were vampires Didn't know they were vampires Turns out I was a vampire myself

🚬Genzou: Getchoo- Weezer (x)

I can't believe What you've done to me What I did to them You've done to me

🍷Orlam: I made an entire Orlam playlist, but don't worry. I always have more. Today I'm assigning him,

Shake The Disease- Depeche Mode (x)

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these Understand me

✂️Gidget: Touch Up- Mother Mother (x)

I forget that I can remember when I was young climbing up fences Scraping my knees, dirt on my cheeks Not one makeover queen bone in me

🔪Cecil: Genie In A Bottle- Billy Cobb (x)

I have no tangible explanation for this one. You'll either get it or you won't and that's okay. 👍🏻

No songs for Bucks or Hunar yet because I need to know more about them first. I've heard the finale is pretty Bucks-centric, so I can't wait 2 play!

My fave ships

💙💚 Iggy/Genzou: Run-Around- Blues Traveler (x)

But I want more than a touch, I want you to reach me And show me all the things no one else can see So what you feel becomes mine as well And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line!

💙🧡 Iggy/Orlam: Funky- Royal Treatment Plant (x)

I should be over this No time for playing games with little wicked boys

💙💔💜 Iggy/Gidget: COWARD 2 COWARD- Ada Rook (x)

I will become whatever you think of me I will be nothingness or disgusting dreams Idol or target, anything in between Falling forever, witnessed by nobody

🧡🖤 Orlam/Cecil: Somethin' Stupid- Lola Marsh (x)

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me And if we go some place to dance, I know that there's a chance You won't be leaving with me Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place And have a drink or two And then I go and spoil it all By saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"

🧡💜 Orlam/Gidget: Pure Morning- Placebo (x)

A friend in need's a friend indeed A friend who'll tease is better Our thoughts compressed, which makes us blessed And makes for stormy weather

💜🖤 Gidget/Cecil: Guy.exe- Superfruit (x)

In lieu of cherry-picking specific lyrics I just want 2 say that the AMV in my mind is exquisite. In pursuit of the Guy (with help from Cecil), Gidget becomes the Guy. Do u understand.

💜🖤🧡 Gidget/Cecil/Orlam: Sideways- Carly Rae Jepsen (x)

Everything's goin' my way And I like to get my way Even when things go sideways Rainin' on my parade I get all my confidence from you

Lovecats- The Cure (x)

We should have each other to tea, We should have each other with cream Then curl up in the fire and sleep for a while It's the grooviest thing, it's the perfect dream

(They get two songs because...I said so. ❤️)

💔⚰️ Orlam/Genzou: Suedehead- Morrissey (x)

You had to sneak into my room Just to read my diary It was just to see, just to see All the things you knew I'd written about you

And that's the end! If u want to share your favorite ships or songs you associate with anybody, I'd love to hear them too!

For the music game, can I ask you 6, 15, 24, and 26? -☆

It has been...A Day. So talking about music is something I am very excited to do right now wooooooo (i'm only feeling a little bit insane I promise). Once again I am going to try to only list songs I haven't talked about before.

6. A song that makes you want to dance

Thunderous - Stray Kids

I could have chosen so many of their songs but this one specifically makes me want to dance. Full disclosure is that I will dance to any and every song. I will not dance well. But if you see a person walking down the streets of Chicago dancing to whatever music they're listening to...it's me. And it's likely Thunderous I'm listening to.

15. A song that is a cover by another artist

Bittersweet Symphony - Ace Enders & A Million Different People

I do not know why this is the song that popped into my head for this but it is. I have not listened to this in years. But there was a time when I genuinely loved it. I loved all of the different vocal styles and how each person interpreted each part. (Yes I have been this way about music since forever)

24. A song by a band you wish were still together

Growing Old - Parade the Day

Apparently I'm just feeling very nostalgic today. This band opened for another band that my friends and I went to see and I immediately fell in love. Bought their album. Bought their poster. Then they broke up. It was a sad time but I still love the songs and I think I still have the physical CD. No one else I know has ever heard of them except my friends that were there with me that day. They were an extremely small local band but I have loved them for a long time.

26. A song that makes you want to fall in love

Lullaby for a Stormy Night - Vienna Teng

I was so excited to see you mention Vienna Teng earlier in one of your asks lol. This seems like a weird one to want to make me fall in love but I struggled with this because...I like romance and love songs but for other people. Not really a big fan of them for myself. But sometimes I like to listen to this song and imagine myself in another universe with a partner and a child and I sing this song to my child when it's storming. But that is definitely Rae in another universe. Rae in this universe may or may not fall in love but there will be no children. I digress. Vienna Teng has such a gorgeous voice and I have not heard a song of hers that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed.
