[yoi-olympics]

OLYMPICS ARE ON.

When I started this blog on a whim shortly before the Beijing Olympics I fully intended to get another event running for these next Olympics too.... LOL I DID NOT DO THAT.

BUT HERE WE ARE. SUMMER 2024.

Just watched the opening ceremonies and i'm going to quote @probablytoooldforthis and say that Viktor would ABSOLUTELY commentate these games and have a grand old time. "I speak French! They have to hire me!" He also would have cried about Celine Dion like we all did.

ANYWAY. My personal Summer Olys event is going to be a reblog fest of many other YOI things, so look forward to some more posts

[crickets-lovely-place]

I hoped to get two sections today, but that didn't work out. Please enjoy @viktuuri-week day 3, rivals!

man it always sucks when you like remember a fic you started writing years ago for a fandom you're not in anymore but the idea was so Juicy that you still wanna write it but it's just uhhhh you literally cannot remember anything specific about the piece of media, just vibes

[secretsofthemourning]

Hurt/Comfort, Found Family, and possibly some smut...that's the hint.

What are you bringing to Yuri’s Birthday Bash?

Give us a hint or a preview!

for my next trick, i will explain boat boys as if youve never heard of them, but im sick and cant be botherd correcting my spelling mistakes:

boat boys forst origionated in this minhecraft server grian (their frined) amde called double life. double life is the thirud season of an on going sereies called the life series or, some poeple call it the traffic series bcuz the lifes u get go from 1-red 2-yellow green-3. anywasy so bopat boys are joel and etho(eefo). they wweere paierd in doubl;e life. on he first day they got to know eachother and they made some jokes and stuff, it was niv]ce. actuually they ar ecalled boat b hoys bcuz they went arounf the server in boats. like, on land. it was very funny. the seconf session joel made a big boat for them to live in called the "relation-shipo", (get iot, get it? nudge nudge). etho went tyo the warden and joel sount very concerned as he did so. i dont remeber much abouyt double life as ive been binging limited life for 3 months now. they died due to a trapped nether portal. the perotral had lava spilled aorunf it. it was very sad.

also inportant fact: ther forst time etho and h=joel ever in terected on the whole entire life series they were in boats. they were both riding in boats. are u joking me. THATS SO FUCKING POETOIC WTF CHBFSHVBSHJBJHVKS

onto liml li9fe. they firat saw eachorther in the forst session. etho said "oh so ur gonna make a boat with a new friend now huh?" bcuz joel and jimmy had planned to live in the water. etho was very jealous ogf this, it made me sad. then joel saw etho ina boat with a co2w and joelk saidn "CANT BELEIVE YOUVE REPLACED ME WEITH A COW EEFO!!!" and etho responded with "he keeps me company atleats" AHAHDBFBHVBHWJJVSB JKSNNOOO. anyways in session 4, etho KILLDED JOEL!?!?!?11?!?!??! it was vwery cool actually. joe, clutchedf a fall, and etho landed in huis clutch water and saidf" YOU SAVED ME. YOU SAVED ME JOEL, SO NOW I CAN KILL YOU" that was very cool of etho. even joel daid himself to etho "the fact you landed in my own water bucket trick" i thionk thats everything improtant in liml life?

then serect life. oh, secrect life. my beloved. my onbe treu savior. save me secret life, save me. so, the two sigificant events of secrect life between bgoat boys i can remeber are 1: joel and ehto hop in ab baot otghter and joel goes "we cant do tjis ehto, the fandom will go crazy" (true( then vthey go for a lottle ride untill they are fiorced to stop by a blcok in. their way and ehto goes "well tjis is where the relatiopnshoip ens" HDGBDFISBFCHBES 2: scott is talk9ng abt his task for the sessions=] which is "say i love you to three plkayers and get them to say ot back" so rheyre discussing who would say it back, andf scott goes "i love yoy " to etho and he goes "thank you?-' HAHAH ayways so one thing leadfs to another and etho is on joels front door stepo saying to joel "i loive you" and joerl responds "uhh ok eefo i know youre obbesed with me i saw u made me the thiumbnail for ur fist bvidoe but cmon ehto calm donw" and etho is sad NSJDWBHJSDCJH im sad jusbjbfdn. its alot.

and now the decked o0ut stream. (ik th9s. was before secret life SHUTUPSHGUTPU) so, jimmy askes for a kiss from joel before he does his decked oyut run. joel goes "yeah sure. on the neckk" and jim goes silent till joel goes "WAIT NO ON THE NECK- I MEANT THE CHEEK IM MEANT THE CHEEK" nd it li9ke this hwole meme for the whole event. jimmy startes sing "etho and joel, sitting in a baot" and etho goes "kissing on the neck"!!!!!GSUGDEGUSDVJ!!!!then when they are at rens ice biat thgingy joel and wehto are sitting nect to eacher in thjeor boat s and etho goes "AWH GOTTA COVER UP MY NECK " joelsays "I DONT KISS [PEOIPLES NECKS!!!" then joel scooches up to etho in his boat and joel goes "schooching up to ya etho " and etho goes "his hand slowly reaches into my hair" LIKE EHTO IS HEE WRITING A WHOLE FANFIC OKKKK ETHO I SEE YOUUU. anyways rhat was very funny.

anyways. hermitcraft. oh boy. theres a lot and i will prpbaly misss a lot too but oh well its later and im sick and tired so SUCK IT UP. ill just do dotpointrs of the things i remeber.

etho sees jols banners and really like sthem and asks j]him for trhe pattern, whoch leads to many books which may or may nboit have been signed with neck kisees.

etho makes statues of jpel them pretemds oit wasnt him. joel rrqally liukes the statues and adds thjem to the front of hios nade awith his tori gate

etho so happens to be talk9inmg abt joel and joel hears him and goes "alsways talking abyt m,e eefo"

joel and etho are talki9ng and theres a camle and etho goes "joel mjust reallt like camels ciuz they goit the loonnnggg necks" and joel syags "oh for goodness sake" (ilobve when joel says oh for goodness sakes its like one of his mottos ayt tjis poibgt it so funny )

thatys all i camn remeber i migjt add mre when i thin k of it

thanks for taking the time to read this if u did (and u even could, oops) i doubt many people will make it down this far with reading it, so congrats i guess!! you get.. nothing-

Viktuuri Week Day 4—Reinvention

I'm going a little wild on these??? Playing fast and loose with the prompt but that's okay because I MAKE THE RULES HERE. XD

hopeless, breathless, baby can't you see?, by xylophones (15k)

this is SUCH a good reinvention of a popular soulmate AU, and also a really good look at a reinvention for Viktor internally, as he figures out what it means to LOVE. The ending of this one gets me EVERY TIME

I was yours before i knew (and you have always been mine too), by katsukifatale (23k)

Canon divergent AU where both Viktor and Yuuri are looking to find themselves and find meaning again after their careers have ended. Of course, they still find each other :) I love the pacing of this fic, it's such a lovely read!

Tell Me Something About Love, by PastelBlueDahlia (13k)

IDK HOW TO TALK ABOUT THIS FIC. YUURI GETS THE REINVENTION THIS TIME. PHICHIT TAKES HIM ON A LIFE CHANGING TRIP TO NORWAY. This fic is the kind of fic that makes you want to read it under trees rustling in a nice breeze on a perfect summer afternoon. It is so WHIMSICAL and WONDERFUL and REAL.

only way to really know (is to really let it go), by seventhstar (11k)

I feel like I should apologise to Yuuri bc so many of these feature Vicchan's death so centrally? ANYWAY. Yuuri has to pick up the pieces afterward and figure out if skating is still for him when Christophe presents him a unique opportunity!! This fic is silly and delightful, and SUCH a good look at Yuuri!

i ran from your heart the day you stole mine, by thewalrus_said (3k)

OKAY. OKAY OKAY. Another FANTASTIC look at a popular soulmate AU. In this one Viktor and Yuuri meet earlier, and it's not what they might have hoped.... I thought of this one for reinvention because of the way both our heroes have to reinvent their expectations of each other and their relationship, and ALSO how it changes their skating along the way! This piece also has a beautiful 3k companion piece from the other POV which is just!!!

Nothing This Beautiful Could Be Real, by louciferish (58k)

And a LONG fic! I thought of this one IMMEDIATELY as a fic to rec this week, and for Reinvention!!! AH. IT'S AN OFFICE WORKER/DRAG QUEENS AU where both Viktor and Yuuri are at tipping points in their careers and their personal lives when their paths begin to intersect in more ways than one! PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS.

Okay so this isn’t rant and honestly this should probably belong on twitter but I’m definitely not going there.

Genshin fandom, specifically those who like character mechanics and combat, you do realize Hoyo makes these neat little info cards that tell you character roles, right?

When I hear “They made Dehya a bad DPS” all I can think is “that’s because they didn’t make her a DPS.”

Because they didn’t!

What kills me about this is the reason a lot of the players favorite hyper carry units are so flexible and give a variety of benefits is because you’re making a support or sub dps act like a main.

People who know me understand I get away with a lot of Yoimiya shenanigans in abyss and events.

That’s not strictly because I’ve suffered forever in artifact hell. She’s made to work with the cast in general, so giving her a team is easy. Hu Tao is in Yoi’s official kit video! They are made to tag in others

There’s a reason Xiao, Cyno, and Scara need all the help they can get. They are actual DPS units that don’t know how to share. 💀😭

I just felt like this hadn’t been said in a a while. You can make some funny teams if you know the unintended consequences of how Hoyo designed a character. This is why DPS Barbara and Nilou exist.

[honeyedcornflakes]

Genuine question: why do some people in the YOI fandom believe that Viktor has never been to college? In my opinion, chances of that are very low. Most, if not all, Russian athletes, have at least some sort of degree. Either a college degree, university degree, or both, then there are schools of Olympic reserve too. I don't really see why Viktor would be any different.

Every athlete has to eventually retire, and they have to think in advance of what they'll do with their lives once that moment comes. Usually they become coaches, sports journalists, etc. For which a degree is required. Unless they are okay with settling down as a simple PE teacher in some dime-a-dozen school and doing nothing but sitting around in a tracksuit, they'd have to think about getting a degree. Not doing that would be irresponsible, and Viktor, contrary to what some might think, is not.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not like you can just randomly announce yourself a 'coach' (and be officially recognized as one) without any professional qualification to do that. Which is why I think that during the canon events, Viktor already had one.

Getting a degree in Russia is pretty easy too. You can argue if it's easy to get a tution-free higher education. Imo, unless you're trying to get into some elite university (like MSU), for which you need to pass all your exams excellently, then it is. But to have more time for skating, I think Viktor would choose a part-time/distance learning. It is always paid though.

Which brings me to the following question: is there a possibility of Viktor being pressured to NOT pursue higher education (so that he could focus more on his skating career)? In my opinion, it is extremely unlikely. If anything, it would be the opposite, as Russian parents (and older generations in general) tend to pressure their kids to attend university, almost simply for the sake of it.

A quality of such education is a completely different topic though. With how much athletes have to train, it is only natural that they'd have very little time to actually study. Professors may either be lenient and forgiving OR be as strict as they are with other, regular students. I'm not sure how it would be with Viktor. He is, after all, a smart and hard-working person, but I also can imagine him being that one student who just has lengthy meaningless converstaions with a professor and somehow manages to get a 'B' for that :)

That's just my thoughts though!

P.S. sorry for any mistakes!
