“cel, you said you referenced dee dee ramone a lot for miro in the flying stars au just so you could make a joke about miro having a dee dee king era and recording shit like mash potato time. what from dee dee actually inspired stuff with miro!” i know you are all DYING to know (nobody asked). EVERYBODY is asking me this (not one person)
i suppose i can share the knowledge of miro’s bass playing style if i must. all coming from a non bass player so. peace and love grain of salt etc
there’s a couple of reasons i chose dee dee for miro’s reference. basically i’m gonna be talking about the: casual style. speed. stamina. and also drawing lengthy comparisons between skating style and bass playing below. beware.
the biggest factor was how fucking insanely low he held his bass? like i watched a lot of videos and sought out a lot of photos and am also just an avid ramones enjoyer lol . that shit was to his Knees. and that like casualness i guess of hanging ur bass ridiculously low felt miro esque to me?
and then i watched a video or two abt it and learned that he basically fucking did that so he could play faster because all the movements would then just be in his wrists?? speediness is very miro core!!! it fits so well. he would be the fastest bass player ever while not only maintaining a casual stance, but having this style be like How he is so speedy.
this from my basic understanding is also rlly similar to how his skating style works!! i’m not an expert and people have written longer better explanations of this (this blog is rlly helpful with stuff like this. shoutout) but. some guys you watch skate and they look like they���re moving a lot and working hard and they are. getting nowhere. smthn smthn u lose speed the more u lift ur foot and push down and if u don’t have the push off speed down similar to like. what mcdavid does . it’s not gonna work for u. its all explained really well in that post and others of theirs idk. i’m not a professional
miro as a skater is particularly Phenomenal at speed when gliding along (he is good with like speed straight off the push off but a lot of my favorite shit to watch is him not lifting a foot once and maintaining insane speed) looking like he’s floating down the ice. ALL OF THIS TO SAY LMAO. him gaining/maintaining speed in long strides rather than lifting his skates a lot and almost looking like he’s running on ice feels. fundamentally. similar to dee dee hanging his bass low so he can have the repetitive fast wrist movements to maintain rather than trying to move his whole forearm at that speed.
and obviously this style of playing doesn’t just automatically make playing bass at that speed easy as hell. you need INSANE amounts of stamina even with how short ramones songs are. i know this because dee dee’s successor - cj ramone - said himself he could not do what dee dee did! even when hanging his bass the same way the stamina is insane and unique. and miro and stamina go hand in hand baby!!! not to glorify it because it’s horrific but we all know the absurd amount of minutes he’s able to play.
but yeah!!! those are the main reasons why dee dee felt like the right inspiration to choose for miro.
stream too tough to die and brain drain and pleasant dreams and all the other ramones albums and also all the imaginary flying stars albums xoxo

omg r we doing chart readings.. what do u make of libra sun aquarius moon pisces rising + virgo venus and capricorn mars.. would love 2 hear ur take on all that <3
hmmm. like, first off i assume you are very stylish. like this is the chart of someone who can do a really impressive makeup look. not that you neccisarily wear makeup or care abt fashion it just probably would be a thing you find fun.
to you and all capricorn mars: congrats i am so jealous bc it is exalted there... as mars is so instinct and passion based, it allows for the energy of the planet to benefit u greatly! you might be a self starter, you might not, but you have a sense of control and containment within the areas you chose to pick battles quote un quote. you don't just go into things rashly, you are good at grounding yourself and learning from mistakes. the libra sun aqua moon pisces rising really paints a picture of someone who wants to collaborate and bring something new to the table. every time i see pisces or libra in a chart i have to bring up the artistic probability. but. who could say....
a Pisces rising gives one this nebulous sort of otherworldly quality. like one foot in this dimension one foot somewhere not quite as tangible. apt to be lost in the thought sauce. your friends probably adore you... and there is something about you that draws others to u. you generally engage with people in a way that makes them feel comfortable. in combo with the sun in libra i imagine you have a real sense of refinement and social grace that is hugely beneficial. oh especially with the cap mars.
part of your struggle might really revolve around needing another person, feeling really lost on your own... be that friends or partners or even like, a community to belong to. maybe there is an overwhelming need to please the other that overwhelms you, libra sun virgo venus makes me think you crave people to take care of...and to be taken care of. which is probably internally confusing at times.
i imagine you try your hardest to be seen as nice and not cause problems. it's hard for you to actual feel truly angry, especially in a group setting, even if deep down u really are. like, there might be/have been times of real confusion and distress in terms of connecting to your subconscious need for a controlled environment and reliance on others, the venus in virgo really contradicts the Aquarius moon's fear of being smothered or controlled. maybe u tend towards pessimism when overwhelmed.
i think you have had a lot of phases in life, i think you enjoy new experiences, aren't afraid to contribute your thoughts when feeling comfortable in a setting. you like learning, hearing others thoughts, you are probably a little psychic. the libra sun aqua moon pisces rising really paints a picture of someone who wants to collaborate and bring something new to the table.
it is very important not to hide your feelings, or let others dictate them. make sure ur friends can see through you, make sure you are honest with your loved ones. it might be easy for you to lose track of what you mean or what u want.

here is a video for u and a song

Woo finished this in time for the @melaniemonth prompt "health". I decided to make a tribute to Melanie's recovery, both mentally and physically, by portraying the hardships she's been through and the better place she reaches! The words are from "I wanna get better" by the bleachers, which is an excellent song that always makes me think of melanie (and never fails to make me emotional) ((click for quality))
[Image ID: a digital illustration of Melanie king from the magnus archives. She is a chinese woman with black hair dyed blonde. The drawing is composed like a comic, with panels. On the right there is a 3 strip, which is mirrored on the left. In between these strips sits two drawings, split by a diagonal border, containing the words "I wanna get better".
Panel 1 on the right shows Melanie's face in shadow, as she stares at Sarah baldwin's stapled arm in horror. The background is maroon and a yellow starburst surrounds Sarah's arm, while lines indicating trembling surround melanie.
Panel 2 has melanie looking at not-sasha, confused and frustrated. Not-sasha's face has a question mark instead of facial features, and in the background is a mirror that shows the real Sasha looking with tears in her eyes. lines emanate from not-sasha. The background is a light green.
Panel 3 shows Melanie's leg, bleeding from a bullet wound. The background is red and the wound has indicating lines emanating from it.
The panels on the left look as follows:
Panel shows melanie as Elias reaches towards her. Her eyes are glowing and tears stream down her frightened face. Eyes float around her, looking at her. Her hair is a darker shade of blonde and her roots have grown out. The background is dark green.
Panel 5 depicts melanie holding a surgical scalpel. Angry lines surround her hand, and the background is made up of varying shades of red.
Panel 6 has melanie holding an awl up to her eyes about to blind herself. Trembling lines surround her hand, and a slight tear forms in the corner of her eye. The background is a rough gradient, starting as a dark green in the bottom left corner and ending in a lighter green.
The two illustrations in the middle also show melanie. The first shows melanie at therapy. She is sitting on a chaise lounge in the foreground, talking to her therapist, who is in the background listening. The background is in yellow/orange tones. A light blue speech bubble is connected to melanie, and has the following text:
"So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet and I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away, that's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself, "hey!". "Overpass" is drawn to look the plaque of a therapist's office, and "hey" is written in bright yellow block letters. There are also spiky lines around the word "bullet".
The second image in the middle shows melanie, now blinded and using her cane. She looks content. The background is done in pink tones, and shows a faded image of georgie smiling and holding the admiral. The text "I didn't know I was lonely til I saw your face" can be seen next to Georgie. Hearts are floating around georgie. The borders between panels are done in a light yellow color. End image ID]

Help me boo, I was already left for dead by all the juliantina loving and I just saw elkdtal, now I've ascended. I know ppl criticize the film for having less focus on the f/f pair but I know now why. They did not want all the lesbians to simultaneously combust watching Regina making eyes with Sonam. My god Regina is so stunning in this. Sonam is good too, but Regina owns me. There's just something abt seeing this desi woman in a wlw relationship. This movie made me smile throughout their scenes
And other anons:
Girl you have to watch ek ladki if you can. It’s sooo good! Like to watch an entire movie revolving around a desi girl being gay and on top of that being so well done - all the feelings
OMG, have you seen Ek ladki ko dekha?! I’m so happy, this is such a big step forward and I’m freaking out. There wasn’t much wlw content and the story was told a little differently but its purpose was prolly to open people’s minds more and it rocked. I’m so happy rn. The scenes that the two had together were like super cute and both ladies are so stunning 🥰
I did watch it! And I loved it! 
I thought I’d be disappointed, the comments when it first came out seemed to indicate that they’d sidelined the romance, sidelined it in a way that…minimized it? And that seemed far too easy to do and I went in expecting that, but that’s not really at all what it was?
It sucks that pretty muc hevery comment about loving it has to come with a caveat, “I know there wasn’t much of the f/f”. I say it too, but we’re having to almost apologize for liking it and like, warning people. When really, I think it did exactly what it set out to do, and really well. It was a warm family movie with a major f/f plot!
Like I said, I’d come in expecting to be disappointed but gosh, seeing them talking about something actually canon LGBT, the main plot, and it not being us reading into the subtext, that just floored me. If you know what I like, it’s good intentions and execution, and I really felt that here. So many little things jumped out to me. 
The layers of meta, lol, us watching an audience watching a father and daughter played by a father and daughter. Anil and Sonam have been approached for a team-up so often but this is the one they chose to use their big first one for. The two secondary plots of the father liking to cook but it being frowned on as a woman’s job and the “forbidden” aspect of an inter-religious marriage, where the audience could draw the connections between these two things they’d already processed as being minor and not a big deal and same-sex marriages, how Rajkummar’s character immediately backed away from anything romantic once he knew what was going on, how they let the father be the loving character and the horrible brother wield most of the homophobia, how it wasn’t her apologizing to them but in the end came down to how trapped and sad a life she’d lived because of this, how acceptance came down to being a matter of familial love. 
Lol, the Regina anon. I LOVED those scenes? I immediately clipped them from a terrible bootleg and translated and shared them with a friend so we could scream over them. Kuhu looking at Sweety and so quickly picking up on the gay? 
Tumblr media
Also, I liked how specifically desi this was, how for so many of us, being closeted means retreating to this quiet, well-behaved role, acknowledging what our choices mean and simply living with it. Coming out and losing family does not tend to be our way of handling things. I’ve seen criticism for how withdrawn or difficult to read Sweety was, but really, that is how it often is, isn’t it? I’d think you’d have to be a kind of subpar movie critic for not picking up what she’s feeling, if anything.
While I and everyone else would have loved a female version of the title song, I still loved that whole little romantic montage for them. And I SWOONED at the hand kiss. Hand kissES. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, yeah, in comparison to other media this might not be much, but for the context, for this. It was...a lot. It’s so undeniable.There was no way to interpret this as something not between lovers.
Ultimately, I came away from it feeling really good and really moved. I thought it was effectively paced, balanced a whoooole of things really well, and it just had heart and warmth.

reasons to stan tbz (the boyz)
a lot of ppl know about the boyz because of kevin but not a lot of ppl kno much abt them apart of from like. Kevin’s Existence so im making this post to enlighten u all thanks
they’re all so immensely talented, there’s not one member that can’t sing. there’s only one official rapper and he too has the voice of an angel when he sings
cre.ker almost always subs all the videos they post!!! tbz have a million reality shows going on at the same time and they’re subbed in multiple languages at least 80% of the time (usually english, japanese, spanish, vietnamese, and korean)
english line (kevin jacob & eric) do some of their vlives entirely in english!!! sometimes they do them together, sometimes they do them separately. kevin likes to do vlives where he sits and listens to music while he draws and talks to fans
vine references.
they’re so LOUD and chaotic but it’s okay because they make it funny. everything they do is hilarious idgi
they had a reality show predebut called flower snack, where they opened a snack shop and ran it by themselves completely. they cooked the food, served the guests, cleaned up afterwards, dealt with payment, etc. and they would always perform for the customers
they sing mashups of popular songs a lot!! here’s a video of vocal line singing “bills bills bills” by destinys child, here’s a video of them singing a mashup of bruno mars + michael jackson, here’s a video of them doing an acoustic version of shinees “replay” and one directions “steal my girl”, here’s a video of canada line literally serenading each other lmao, and here’s a video of them covering even more michael jackson
while they may literally all be vocal powerhouses, they can all dance too!! the main dancers are q and juyeon and u can see them here and here (they’re all amazing dancers, these are just videos of q and juyeon)
the!!! girl!!! group!!! covers!!!
they frequently talk about how important diversity is & they discuss feminism and the deconstruction of gender roles and they also openly support women that were abused during WWII and also lgbt+ ppl! one member in particular is educated on nonbinary people and respects their pronouns
if u say pink is for girls the boyz will manifest in ur home and they WILL kill u
during a vlive with english line, eric said he dressed as a princess for halloween once and was like “this year i wanna go as -“ and kevin said “a prince?” and eric replied “no, geodude from pokémon” hello. king?
sunwoo always wears a safety pin earring and once a fan asked him if he knew the meaning behind wearing it and he said he’s well aware
they recommend songs about marriage equality and openly support lgbt photographers and musicians
juyeon literally ended homophobia
oh also their debut mv has what is interpreted by many as a lgbt storyline!! they’re paired up and all kind of play each other’s love interests
they talk about the mistreatment of animals a lot, especially elephants in thailand, and they warn people to be wary when visiting some places and tell them to visit elephant sanctuaries instead
they have a whole campaign about adopting abandoned puppies and finding them safe homes. they adopted two of their own and raised them until they could find them a safe home! they try to teach people to “adopt, don’t buy”
people made up very nasty, baseless rumors about two of the members so a lot of ppl that don’t stan them think they’re gross, but they’re not at all :( it breaks my heart to see ppl blindly believe someone when they have no proof at all and when the members they’re accusing have directly acted against what people are accusing them of
anyway! they’re so so so funny djshshjs i’ll list a few of my favorite highlights
all of the members slowly getting dragged into kevins “can i get a hoya” agenda
when jacob smelled erics handcream and accidentally squirted it into his nose
when kevin asked a little kid “what’s my name” and he was like “jacob” and ran away and kevin got sad n was like “im not jacob :(“
i don’t even know how to explain this just watch it
this video
hyunjae screams a lot when he’s frustrated
kevin doesn’t know what a het is
when chanhee poured milk before his cereal and jacob almost had an aneurysm on the spot
haknyeon (i think it was him lol) almost started crying when they brought out a pig themed cake during flower snack because he didn’t realize it was a cake and he thought it was an actual pig head. he’s very attached to pigs. he chose pigs over his own members
chanhee is super super good at math. hes the member they all go to when they need help cooking or with anything having to do with math lmao
they can make a song out of anything. once they made a song about chicken and sang it while they were cooking dinner
i can’t give all of the examples of them being dumbasses because this post is already long enough but they’re!!! so dumb!!!! kevin in particular embarrasses himself a lot LMAO
ok so im gonna wrap up here but they’re such a genuinely talented, kind, close knit group of people and they deserve so so much more than they’re getting!!!
here’s their last comeback, here’s their debut, and here’s their teaser for their comeback in a week or so

@alyonian
relationship status:
at the moment i’m single! and while being in a relationship sounds brilliant, the last two relationships i was involved in? didn’t work out to say the least, lucky i’m still young
favourite colour:
it’s been emerald green for the longest time but orange seems to be dethroning it at a steady pace
lipstick or chapstick:
i haven’t used chapstick since i was six but i probably should use it again, water is my substitute rn fdghdgh - and i haven’t ever used lipstick in any capacity? so i’d have to go with the former
last song i listened to:
the space traveller’s lullaby | kamasi washington - i’m trying to get through his second album rn (i left off on the second disk yesterday) and while everything he makes is undeniably amazing, it’s? a three hour album? i don’t have the attention span for his spiritual jazz, as great as it is
last movie:
monsters inc is playing on the television right now, i’ll go with that! the animation aged kinda badly but it’s still such a fun movie! sidenote: james p. sullivan? a childhood crush, so this gives me memories
top 3 tv shows/podcasts/comics:
i rarely, if ever, venture into these forms of media but! if i had to answer, i’d say;
unbreakable kimmy schmidt / parks & recreation / luke cage
taz / mbmbam (i havent like. watched a full episode of either but they seem cool,)
tf idw / …………. yeah that’s it, i’ve never read anything else. probably should!
additional favs:
my friends, writing (in theory), listening to video essays, learning music theory + instruments and understanding audio production software
top 3 bands / artists:
HHH okay if i had to limit my choices to just three artists, uh. lorde, the mountain goats, and sophie. i couldnt even fit janelle in i hate th is
----------------------------------
@alyonian
color(s): light colors are always nice and pleasant, though anything peachy and sandy are the best! orange (specially pastel orange) is like. the best thing
last band t-shirt i bought: usually merchandising is very expensive and i dont have the money to accommodate that, but like. i do recall having a wiggles shirt when i was five. i wore it all the time, shjdjgsksd im sure that counts
last band i saw live: i almost went to splendor in the grass last year with family, which wasn't only cool since i’ve never been out of the state since i immigrated - the festival was in queensland, which is around a two hour flight from victoria - but the lineup was pretty fuckin lit too! the xx, haim, peking duk, tash sultana, future islands, vallis alps, a.b original,, i was p excited! unfortunately my uncle fell ill and so they had to give the tickets to extended family :( otherwise, i haven't been to a single concert in my life
last song i listened to: street fighter mas | kamasi washington - up to this song on the album and i really fuckin dig this! also the video is hypnotizing
last movie i watched: monsters inc is about to finish and up next is monsters university! which like…. honestly, this is an extremely unpopular opinion but, i like it just as much as the original? my opinion might be skewed because i’m a monster [hugger], but i like everything abt the movie! except for the finale of the scare games and the last five minutes of the movie, both were just. dreadful.
last three tv shows i watched: if aggretsuko counts that’s the last series i watched of my own volition, which is a miracle in itself considering that’s legit only the second anime i’ve watched to completion (the first being shirokuma cafe, which i probably need to re-watch). otherwise, the last two shows i had beared witness to were thirteen reasons why and queer eye bc my cousin put them on! that first show i could completely do without but queer eye is iconique
last 3 characters i identified with: grimlock (legit. all of them), urdnot grunt (mass effect) and vector the crocodile (sth), i’m not sure what this says about me other than Big
book(s) i’m currently reading: i’m reading ‘maus’ by art spiegelman at the moment, for the third time i believe? i believe my classmates are supposed to be writing an essay on this next term and shit, this novel is heartbreaking, i haven't been this emotional when reading a book than… ever, really. it’s a recommendation of the highest caliber

I was tagged by @vardasvapors on this 11 questions meme. It turned into a monster because I talk  A LOT hahahaha
At the bottom you have 11 mre questions for the people I tag :)
1. What is the best breakfast you ever had?
The most passable tea you can imagine, but in the company of my girlfriend /)///(\ 
2. What was your favorite book when you were 13 years old?
That year I purchased a book called Alai’s “Red Poppies” just because the cover was really pretty, and I def judge a book by its cover! And rightly so because it turned into a lifetime favorite. It’s a book about this feudal tibetan family when the cultivation of poppies (for the production of opium) is introduced there, and it’s extremely captivating, and different from anything I’ve read. It’s a very delicate subject matter and I have no idea how historically accurate everything is... the fact that this author is apparently very respected in China, despite being of Tibetan descent himself, should make one very weary I guess, but the chinese don’t actually come out looking good at all in the story (and neither do the tibetan feudal system as a whole, for that matter ;p). So... it might be irresponsible of me to rec the book, but... I do hahaha. I remember all the colors and characters and scenes very vividly. Actually, now I kinda want to read it again...
3. Describe your ideal fic (one that you do not have to write)
MY IDEAL FIC! It’s an epic longfic about family/court drama in the times of Tar-Palantir, or an episodical multichapter of elvish characters in Doriath interacting with the many mortals that pass there through the ages (dwarves included)
Or anything Túrin/Nienor, really. AUs included.
4. Describe a fanart you would like to see
I literally have a list of art i wanna make hahaha sob... Hm,  I’m going to go with this image I have in my head of this scene in Balar, where a ragged Oropher is holding baby Elwing in his arm while Círdan looks at them in disbelief, his body language suggesting he is approaching them... the light of the nauglamir illuminates the scene drawing the attention to Elwing ofc :) Oropher being the one to bring Elwing safely to Balar is just my headcanon, of course.
5. State 1-3 opinions on cheese
1. I love it 
2. even/especially the nasty smelling ones... I could live on cheese
3. truly the thing i miss the most about living in France, that and the museums
6. Describe your most recent public or mass transportation experience
A lady sat next to me and said the driver was a real turtle, driving way too slowly for her taste.
7. Without checking to see if it’s correct, type something you have memorized (a line of poetry, a lyric, an equation) (yes i’m just straight up stealing this from june)
I’m in a children’s song mood so:
Quem me ensinou a nadar, quem me ensinou a nadar Foi, foi, marinheiro, foi os peixinhos do mar Ei nós, que viemos de outras terras, de outro mar? Temos pólvora, chumbo e bala, nós queremos é guerrear
8. A random headcanon for anything
Hopefully it won’t be too disappointing hearing me talking about elves :S but I’ve been thinking about my old Teleri headcanons lately thanks to the eclipse hahaha, so, okay
First of all, I am always thinking about how the creation of the Sun and the Moon affect the Teleri, they who loved the stars and chose to dwell far from the trees and all. It completely changes their notion of time, and I like to think that society takes a long time to adapt, and even now you have Teleri who would rather sleep during the day, and Teleri who would chance their sleeping cycles often for not being able to decided what kind of light their prefer, etc...
Then, I’m sure Kinslaying is a pretty big deal in these people’s history and collective memory; and yet, how would they remember it? It feels like a big enough deal that they would tell the young kids about it and commemorate it together, somehow. The Kinslaying happened during the time od Darkness which is kind of a no-time, like a void of time between the light of the trees and the creation of the sun and the moon... It got me thinking that maybe the Teleri associate the eclipse with the Kinslaying, then: a brief time of darkness that exists outside ‘time’, in a way... and that’s when they ‘ritualize’ their collective memory of the event. I haven’t thought about the details of what exactly happens, and it also depends on whether eclipses in Middle Earth are predictable or not, but I imagine they gather together in groups and everyone stops singing for a moment... or they sing something together, or only olwe sings? There are many possibilities :)
9. What’s the nearest piece of art to wherever you are sitting right now (interpret as broadly as you wish)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My beloved friend @arvore is an artist, and this is one of his pieces :) the bedroom is already cluttered with hangings and the only space I have for it is right behind my computer - which is fine because it means i am always looking at it ^^ (but it def deserves a more prestigious place)
10. A dumb opinion you used to have
Used to dislike the Valar, and Thingol
11. Freestyle here about a really good story (of any type) you recently read
Ugh I’ve been being bad abt books lately, but the last book I finished was The Bloody Chamber, which is a collection of short stories. My favorite one was the one that gives the title to the collection. It has Bluebeard elements but I was really in love with the ending, and.... I have to say, I dig long ass paragraphs with lots of commas hahahahaha. Also I’m a very visual reader, and this author is SUPER visual. I also really liked the Erlking, because faes are so goooooood and I loved the ending, too :) They’re all very atmospheric and goth-romantic so you have to be in a particular mood to appreciate it, I guess, but I liked most of the stories well enough.
Trying to tag people who haven’t been tagged already.... I’m guessing @heckofabecca, @anghraine @housecreepy, @yavieriel, @theotherwesley, @sabotensan, @swampdiamonds @nobodysuspectsthebutterfly, @sqbr, @ncfan-1, @veliseraptor, @windandwater @thrumbolt @squirrelwrangler @mygoodrabbit ... if you guys feel like it, ofc :) Also, if anyone else wants to answer these questions and I haven’t tagged them, feel free to do it anyway and tag me so I can see the answers!
My questions are: 
1. What was the last picture you took with your phone/camera that you liked? Can you post it?
2. What's the last meme you enjoyed, and a meme you can't stand?
3. Give me a song and what it makes you think of, or what you like about it
4. The last time you were pleasantly surprised
5. A physical book you have and love as an item
6. Your phone's bg and/or lockscreen?
7. I know I always ask this one, but is there a gif or reaction image you like but that you haven’t been able to use yet? If not, just give me your current favorite gif.
8. One thing you would change in your favorite media thing (book, movie, show, video game, etc)
9. A non-American movie you like 
10. You’re transported to the setting of the last fic you read. How screwed are you?
11. stealing this from VV but it’s a great question: what’s the nearest art thing to you rn?
(bonus question: what’s a fandom I have that you hate/blacklist/don’t get?)

Only With You
Here’s something about their pair skate bc I’m still crying abt it on a daily basis.
It was Yuuri who brought it up first. One quiet night in the onsen after the Cup of China and a few days before they headed to Russia for the Rostelecom Cup.
"Have you ever considered pair skating, Viktor?"
Viktor looked up from his tea, eyebrows raised. He paused for a moment, regarding Yuuri with thoughtful eyes.
"Not since I met you, no," he answered with a smile and watched a tinge of pink rise on Yuuri's cheeks. "It was always one of the other events, like the women's skating or ice dancing," he explained with a shrug of his shoulders. "But I can't deny that as of late, I sometimes want nothing more than to join you on the ice."
Yuuri was not expecting such an answer and simply nodded before excusing himself to bed. He had a lot to think about…
The celebration over Yuuri's placement in the Grand Prix Final didn't die down until late into the night. Sometime past midnight, it had finally quieted down in the onsen, almost everyone having retired to bed.
Everyone except for Yuuri and Viktor, who sat across from each other at their usual table in the main room. Yuuri's hands rested atop Viktor's on the table, the Russian rubbing gentle circles over his knuckles. The two had been nearly inseparable ever since Yuuri had returned from Russia.
"I'm proud of you," Viktor whispered across the table, giving Yuuri's hands a meaningful squeeze.
Yuuri glanced at Viktor and smiled gratefully before looking back down at his lap. He took a deep breath and leaned forward, meeting Viktor's gaze again.
"I want to skate with you, Viktor. Not as we have before as competitors or in practice. I-I want to do a pair skate routine with you. For the gala… when I win gold at the Grand Prix!" It all came out in somewhat of a rush, Yuuri's practiced words spilling across the table to a stunned Viktor.
A moment passed before Viktor broke out into a beaming grin and let go of Yuuri's hands, only to collide with him in a firm embrace.
"I can't think of anything better than that," he said, his words muffled against Yuuri's shoulder. "I want to skate with you too, Yuuri"
"Good job Yuuri, now make sure you do that in competition and you'll win gold for sure," Viktor commented with a smirk before stepping onto the ice himself. Viktor chose to ignore Yuuri rolling his eyes, and instead reached out and jostled Yuuri's shoulder. When their eyes met, Viktor’s smile turned soft and Yuuri reciprocated with a tilt of his head and a gentle smile.
Viktor pushed off from the wall and took a few laps around the rink, skating elegant figures and stepping into graceful crossovers at the curves. Yuuri watched from the barrier with a peaceful expression, leaning back on his elbows against the barrier. He had always loved watching Viktor skate; ever since he was young.
Viktor took one more lap before slowing to a stop in front of Yuuri again.
"I want to show you something," he said and Yuuri could almost feel the barely contained excitement radiating from the other man.
"What's that?" Yuuri inquired with a chuckle, having regained his breath after the short break. Viktor's smile widened until it almost reached his ears as he skated away towards the control center for the sound system. He hooked up his phone and pressed a few buttons before turning to Yuuri.
“Go stand at the center!” he called.
Yuuri did as he was told, deciding against questioning what was going on. Viktor was always up to something and sometimes Yuuri enjoyed holding back his questions and being surprised.
Yuuri took his place at the center of the rink and looked up as music started playing through the speakers. Very familiar music. It was the song Viktor had skated his free skate to last year that filled the rink.
“Dance! You know how it goes,” Viktor called again, still standing at the edge of the rink.
Yuuri paused before letting out a soft laugh. He began the routine, shifting his weight on his skates and gesturing widely with his arms before drawing in on himself, mimicking a man suffering loss and heartbreak.
As a new verse began, Viktor skated forward, joining Yuuri in his dance. At first he simply mirrored Yuuri, skating through the same movements alongside him.
Yuuri noticed a woman now singing along with the familiar tenor, and he looked at Viktor in slight shock.
“Y-you found a duet?”
“For our pair skate! Isn't it perfect?” Viktor answered, taking Yuuri's hands.
Yuuri had no words to describe how perfect it was. Performing a pair skate to the song Yuuri himself had also skated to, in a performance that had brought Viktor into his life; it was quite entirely their song.
As the music swelled, Viktor moved his hands to Yuuri's hips and lifted. Yuuri gasped and clutched at Viktor's shoulders, the Russian only wobbling a little on his skates. Viktor gently brought Yuuri back down to the ice before grinning and carefully lowering him into a dip.
The song continued as the pair moved gracefully on the ice. Their dance was not practiced and nowhere near perfect, but it was beautiful. It was full of soft caresses and awkward bumps; failed lifts (on Viktor's part) and bright laughter.
The song ended and Yuuri couldn't feel his cheeks anymore from smiling so much.
“I really wanted to try lifting you, but I guess it's my turn to do a bit of strength training, huh?” Viktor commented, out of breath.
Yuuri laughed outright at that, the sound filling the rink just as the music had, and filling Viktor with a feeling of warmth.
“I suppose so. I'm not exactly light, am I?”
“You're all full of muscle. And katsudon!” Viktor joked, pinching Yuuri's stomach which sent the Japanese man into another round of loud laughter.
“I bet you could lift me,” Viktor said softly after a moment, his words coming in a breath that hit Yuuri's ear and his arms wrapping around Yuuri's waist.
“I-I doubt I could. Without dropping you,” Yuuri stuttered as he flushed slightly at the warm breath hitting his ear.
“You'd never drop me! Come on, try it!” Viktor encouraged, stepping away from Yuuri and moving in front of him. “For me?”
Yuuri let out a sigh, shaking his head. He was truly weak against Viktor.
“Fine. Just this once,” he declared, holding up his forefinger and pointing it at Viktor.
Yuuri skated forward and hesitantly placed his hands on Viktor's hips. He glanced up at Viktor who smiled and nodded encouragingly, before gently gripping Yuuri's shoulders. In a swift motion, Yuuri lifted the Russian about a foot off the ice. After realizing that supporting Viktor’s weight really wasn’t as difficult as he’d thought it would be, Yuuri decided to add a flare and spun a half circle with Viktor in his arms. He slowly lowered Viktor and then proceeded to dip the larger man with a smirk. Yuuri held this pose and was soon holding back laughter at the flustered look on Viktor's face.
Viktor was sporting quite the blush, with his eyes full of such stunned admiration that the expression on his face could only be described as swoon.
“Wow,” was all he could say as Yuuri righted the both of them. “You-you’re so strong Yuuri! I knew you could do it!” Viktor cheered.
“Yeah, yeah,” Yuuri brushed off the compliment with a wave of his hand. “But it’s best if you do the lifts for the actual program, I-I don’t want to get nervous and then drop you and then…”
Viktor could see the panic settling in and placed his hands on Yuuri’s shoulders. He leaned forward and pressed a lingering kiss to the center of the shorter man’s forehead, before smiling gently down at him.
“I’ll do the lifts. How could I pass up an opportunity to have you in my arms?”
There was too much going on in Yuuri’s head. It had to be one of the most stressful days of his life. The morning was full of near-tangible tension after the mostly unresolved conversation he had had with Viktor the previous night that had left both of them reeling. Said tension had finally broken mere seconds before what he thought would be the final free skate of his career, leaving him relieved to the point he was almost shaking on the ice.
And it had all culminated into the silver medal hanging around Yuuri’s neck. He traced the edge of it with one hand, his other still at the back of Viktor’s head, playing with the short silver strands there as they sat together on the padded floor of the ice rink. After such an emotionally charged day, on top of the exertion of competing, Yuuri was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to fall asleep on Viktor’s shoulder in the warmth of his embrace right then and there.
Before the pull of sleep could drag Yuuri any further, he lifted his head and looked into Viktor’s eyes.
“I want to skate with you,” he whispered, putting into words what he had realized on the ice. It really was the only piece of his jumbled thoughts that made any sense to Yuuri at that moment. The strong desire to be on the same ice with Viktor as equals in every way.
Viktor laughed breathily and reached out to brush Yuuri’s cheek with his thumb, his smile soft and warm.
“And I want to skate with you, Yuuri,” he whispered back. “But first, you need sleep.”
Without further warning, Viktor picked Yuuri up and walked off towards the exit, ignoring the half-hearted protests from the Japanese man.
It was perfect. Dancing on the ice with Viktor was something like a dream for Yuuri. He had dreamt of sharing the ice with Viktor, but only in competition. Sharing it with him in this way, with Viktor’s hands in his and his arms around Yuuri’s waist; there were no words to describe it.
Yuuri couldn’t hear the crowd or the music, he could only hear his heart pounding in his ears and the occasional murmur of Viktor singing along to the song- their song- between jumps and lifts.
Stay close to me, the song said, and so did Viktor’s eyes and Yuuri’s gentle caresses.
Do not leave, echoed through the rink, and was felt in the way Viktor lifted Yuuri high, and the way Yuuri held Viktor tight.
I want to skate with you, was a thought shared only between the two of them, a lifelong request that they would fulfill together for eternity.
