#yoi fandom events

[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

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

Chapter 7 of A Song of Fiery Birds and Endless Winter is up!

I don't have a lot to say about this chapter except for: ICE CREAM DATE!!!

(No, it's not a date! It's just two skaters hanging out together and Viktor being nice and doing fan service, but honestly: ice cream date!!!)

Instead of an excerpt, may I present to you the amazing artwork my assigned artist, the talented @loadingbones did for this work, or rather this specific chapter (posted with permission of the artist)

Read Chapter 7 here.

[sillycaylum]

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.

Thinking about all the trigun (primarily vashwood) aus I've gotten to read and see art of and if there are any I have -not- seen yet and you know what hit me? Figure-skating au. (remembering when YOI was at it's peak and every fandom under the sun got an iceskating au).

And you know as far as parallel themes to cannon go it practically writes itself?? Vash and Knives as a paired skating team, Knives suddenly can't compete for their upcoming season (injury from them doing a move together? Vash wanting to split because of personal conflict? could spin it a few ways depending on what story elements you wanted to focus on), enter Wolfwood, a lesser-known solo skater doing exceptionally well in his smaller events, who is offered some insane sum of money to go be Vash's partner (taking it to support the orphanage ofc).

Usual vashwood conflict and cooperation in spades as they circle each other like anxious sharks while reading each other for filth; being a super intuitive and great skating pair while emotionally growing way way past both their lines of 'person I am working with because of circumstances' to 'genuine friend but we don't talk about that' to 'most important person in my life who has seen every bare crater of the landscape of my soul and did not look away from any of it oh god when did this development happen'

If you want to make WW's position even spicier and tie in his betrayal guilt you could have Knives be paying him to appeal as Vash's partner out of all the other picks, so that he can maintain control of Vash and inform WW of how he wants Vash's intense training regime to be upheld (again lots of ways you could spin this depending on what the focus of their relationships are; if you're going for something a lot more mentally fucked up and close to cannon or playing with the kinder world of a modern au)
