Yuri Leclerc as a concept is sooo funny because here is the most beautiful woman you've ever seen, sike! He's a man actually. and you're like okay, okay, cool. he's still the most beautiful person ever, looks introverted yet elegant, so you'd expect him to have a demure-ish personality with delicate hobbies. speaks in noble tongue, voice as soft as the lilac in his hair maybe. probably into fashion as well.
and then he opens his mouth.
DEEP voice, crass, and a menace. were it not for the game's rating and setting, this guy would be cursing worse than a sailor. ANDDD the funniest thing is that he's 😂 an underground mafia boss. his first conversation with the player character is that he'd slit their throat for crossing his men. he's confident, sarcastic and smug, absolutely at odds with his soft appearance. NONE of his hobbies aside from the makeup are ""girly"" at all.
but that's not all! get this. he's... a momma's boy. intimidating fucker that he is, everything he does, the maiming the killing the swindeling, it's all to send money back to her. AND following that, he's something of a Robin Hood minus the heroic fanfare. as in, he's for the common folk. from orphans to the disabled, his care protects them all. beneath the scary job and personality, his compassion runs deep.
he can't stand not knowing things. he sings so prettily but scowls when he's made to do it in public. people call him a Savage Mockingbird and he does do nothing but mock and toy with his prey sometimes. he hates attention. A+ honors student but dropped out for doing crime. he's gotten into shit situations where people took advantage of him for his pretty looks.
he likes stargazing. he's named after a star. his real name at least. the one only his mom calls him.
isn't the dichotomy just the funniest. like don't all these aspects combined together make for the most delightfully jarring character ever. but it makes sense. the totality of his life circumstances made the person that he is now and it just... works.
"Yuri is the best he's my favorite!" -Yuri himself (actual line in game btw)
Deep inside, she knew who she was, and that person was smart and kind and often even funny, but somehow her personality always got lost somewhere between her heart and her mouth, and she found herself saying the wrong thing or, more often, nothing at all.
i made a thing !! every movie and TV show he’s ever done (apart from 1992’s ‘Anglo Saxon Attitudes’ because infuriatingly i could not get a clip of that. Also excluding animated / voiceover + Star Wars because you can’t see his face)

Your fairy and SK boys have been running through my mind 28/9, it’s ridiculous
This is my first post on Tumblr and I have absolutely zero clue what I’m doing so forgive me for any mess ups 👍
I was gonna draw the fairy boys for their belated birthday but I never got around to it, so instead I give you my happy belated birthday!! 🎉 (it’s half-assed, sorry-)
