ヴィクトル誕生日おめでとう〜🎉👏🎂
Viktor’s love language being physical affection- and acts of service- is the cutest and saddest shit ever
We’re taking about a boy who grew up too fast and with too much autonomy to be healthy
He was barley a teen when he became a world famous skater
He had the weight of his nation, of the public, of his coach and, most importantly, of himself, on his shoulders
We don’t know what’s up with Viktor’s parents but I think it’s safe to say they weren’t really there for him
And Yakov clearly got a soft spot for him but he’s not really into physical affection
Not to mention that with fame comes isolation, we’d be right to assume Viktor probably didn’t have lots of friends. Much less physically affectionate ones
He was always by himself, it was always him and Makka against the world
He got where he is by himself and with virtually no help (except for coaching but you get what I mean)
He probably had a personal, steady income since he was a teen, and he probably moved to live alone very early in life
He’s accustomed to being his only crutch and doing everything on his own
Because of this is so so heartwarming that his love language manifests as the two things he never really got from others: Physical affection and Acts of Service.
AND THE FACT THAT HE LIKES YUURI ENOUGH TO TRY TO SHOW HIM THROUGH HIS LOVE LANGUAGE WHAT HE MEANS TO VIKTOR
AND THE FACT THAT YUURI RESPONDS IN KIND
THEYRE SOULMATES YOUR HONOUR

Yuri Katsuki and Victor Nikiforov festooned with green carnations from the Yuri!!! On Ice 2017 calendar with art created by Mitsurou Kubo, Noriko Ito and Tadashi Hiramatsu under the direction of Sayo Yamamoto.
According to hanakotoba, the Japanese language of flowers, carnations are a flower associated with fascination, distinction, love, or passion.
The wearing of green carnations by gay men in the Victorian Era was popularized by author Oscar Wilde who encouraged his friends to wear the flowers to social events as a secret code of recognition and a symbol of unity
I suspect some of you already knew about this, but having just recently learned of it, my heart immediately swelled about three sizes too large, a condition that could only be remedied by sharing this information forward once more.
As always, blessings and gratitude to the YOI creators who never fail to surprise me. 🙏 🏳️🌈
:sob:
I love the after credit previews so much-
UYEAH!!!1
I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING
VICTOR HAS TEARS IN HIS EYES
Victor doesn’t owe shit to any of the following:
the Russian skating federation
Yakov
Yurio
He’s done more than enough for the first two and already did the one thing he promised the third thanks for coming to my ted talk
HOLY JESUS CHRIST
Victor and Yuuri are together at home in Saint Petersburg, early in the morning, sitting/laying on the couch where Victor first watched Yuuri’s ‘Stay Close To Me’ video. Probably, Victor’s draped himself all over Yuuri as usual.
(Assuming that they are actually engaged and that the rings were much more than just ‘good luck charms’, which I wholeheartedly believe is the case!) Victor tells Yuuri that after they marry, he wants to take his surname. He wants to be Victor Katsuki. Yuuri asks why, considering Victor is much more famous than him and his surname is known by many more people than his own. Victor answers “Because I love your family.”
Yuuri knows that Victor never talks about his own family. He mentions ‘his mother’ or ‘his father’ at most every once in a while. But he’s never thought of it as strange or alarming. After all, Victor has trouble talking about his emotions properly, so maybe his family life feels like something very personal to him as well? Something he doesn’t just talk about with everyone? Yuuri has always assumed he had no ill feelings towards them.
“Don’t you love your family?” Yuuri asks. When he watches the light vanish from his fiancé’s eyes, Yuuri thinks he messed up. “Y-You don’t have to tell me! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have-“ He says, all panicked. But Victor just reaches for his hand, squeezes it softly and whispers “Yuuri, it’s okay. I trust you.” He intertwines their fingers, the rings shining in the morning light. “I’ll explain you everything.” And then, the scene fades into a flashback of young Victor, and the real (super sad) storyline starts.
The last time we saw them VS Now!!
NOW JUST KISS ALREADY!!!
