I’m rewatching episodes (for the nth time) and just realised that in episode 1, during the flashback when Yuko shows Victor on TV (his Junior WC skate) to Yuuri, during the exact moment when Yuuri sees Victor for the first time – and his face lights up – the melody for Stammi Vicino faintly plays in the background, subtly foreshadowing the future connection these two will share.
I love this show.
Can I add something?
There’s one thing that always gets me in this scene. Viktor is so free in that moment, playful even. But when we get to see Yuuri’s reaction, he’s captured by this:
Viktor looks here like some goddamn angel. He’s so utterly beautiful with his eyes closed, long hair flowing around his head, face soft, maybe even a little ecstatic. He’s so lost in the moment. And what’s really important, he’s not doing any jumps or other difficult moves here. He’s just… flying. It’s really easy to understand why Yuuri reacted that way. He saw something from another world, a true passion, emotions so raw and open. I mean, how could he not fall in love with Viktor in that moment?
It’s one of my favorites scenes in the entire series. Damn feels.
My friend and I have come to the conclusion that Viktor and Yuri, the dorks they are, are both determined to surprise the other on their wedding day. And they both decide that the best way to do this is to give their vows in the other’s native language.
They both stay up late studying without the other knowing. Yuri frantically asks Yurio to check his grammar (Yurio is of course DISGUSTED by how sappy he is but helps anyway), Viktor calls Mari at 3 am because he can’t figure out how the fuck this word works and he’s so worried it won’t be right… she looks at what he has and just laughs thinking of the time Yuri tried to write Viktor a fan letter in garbled Russian, taking pity on him.
Wedding day comes, Yuri comes down the isle, both are almost crying already. Viktor takes a shuddering breath and starts his vows. His accent is terrible, he stumbles on pronunciation, but Yuri? He is sobbing already. Viktor finishes, grinning widely. Yuri is crying and laughing, slowly takes a breath. Smirks up at Viktor, starts his own vows… and Viktor is in instant tears.
It takes all their willpower not to kiss before they’re told to.
here is my full piece for the @yoimafiazine ! i’m really proud of how this piece turned out, the tattoo and yuuri’s butt and the background all look great! this was such a fun project and all of the pieces in this zine are soooo gorgeous. thanks a billion to the mods for putting this together and letting me take part 💖
