Sometimes it's useful to look at your dialogue and ask yourself, "would a real human being talk like that?" But it's also good to ask the follow-up questions of "would the way a real human being talks sound good here" and "does this character actually talk like a real human being or are they weird about it."
okay GENUINELY what does "We call everything on the ice 'love'" mean??
I am not certain what Yuuri means... maybe that all of the collaboration, competition, and sharing of ideas that takes place in skating is all a form of showing love? Enough to make me shake and cry and fall over, but i'd still love to hear if people have other interpretations
[id: two screenshots from anime Yuri on Ice. Each image shows a close up of a character's face. The background in each image is a blue sky with fluffy white clouds, with telephone poles in the distance. The colors are light and the shadows are sharp, suggesting the scene takes place in early morning.
Image 1: close up of Victor's face and shoulders. He is wearing a black long sleeve turtleneck. His left arm is raised above his head. His skin is white and the edges of his ears are pink, suggesting that it is cold outside. His hair is slightly messy and hangs over his forehead, suggesting that it is windy outside. His mouth is open to shout, and the caption reads, "Yuri!" His eyes are squeezed closed like when someone smiles.
Image 2: close up of Yuuri's face and shoulders. He is wearing a blue zip-up winter jacket and glasses with blue rims. His skin is also pale with pink on the edges of his ears. His mouth is open in a smile. His eyes are open and reflect the morning light. His eyebrows are high above his eyes, making him look happy or excited. The captions of his internal monologue read, "We call everything on the ice 'love.'"
[id/ Captioned screenshots from the TV show Seinfeld. The character Kramer is facing the character Jerry. Across the two images, Kramer says: "Look, Jerry, I don't know if you've noticed ... but lately I've been drifting aimlessly." /end id]
