Note

don’t worry about slow replies or w/e this is meant to be fun when you can!! but capitalism is the worst. and yesss, my faves openly support lgbt+ fans they’re good boys. i almost missed the yoi news because of the destiel spam so i wasn’t even sure if it was a joke at first either. tumblr is on fire right now. it wasn’t that art but wow also HELLO SIR I AM LOOKING not very respectfully i am but a weak bi. i used to read a load but quarantine brain is broken so i cant focus on novels now.

i want to read tgcf but i keep flopping after like 5 pages but also san lang hot and i heard there’s wlw in it?? cloud recesses does look so pretty to live in but i’m such a nhs, i just want to sit in his nie sect and paint fans and look at pretty things all day. let other people swing swords and all, gossip is way more powerful. rogue cultivator tho your mind! this is the best answer to this question. and that’s not lame, the reason my s/o is the best is bc they know i like to have my own time

most of the time and we can just sit and chill in quiet for hours. it’s perfect. OK! mdzs question which char deserved better (so many choices…) and tell me about other fandoms you’re into/active if you have any more!

hi classified cultivator!!

LMAO THE DESTIEL SPAM. all those memes about the 2020 bingo card - destiel canon, yoi return, and now the marvel trailer for the sambucky show 💀💀 they’re going to queerbait us so bad i’m in love with the chaos that is going to happen 😍❤️

i took me a little bit to get into it too 😭 all the word building but it gets better ❤️ ahaha it’s just vibes - i was like wow i’m pretty sure this is all important information but yeah i’m still a little confused. i was given a character sheet google doc/drive thing that might be able to clarify some things!! i’ll link it at the end! and omg wlw!!! lmao they haven’t shown up in the 100 chapters i’ve read but that info has made me excited 👀 maybe i’ll continue reading it on my days off this week ahaha!

OKAY BUT TRUE THATS MY SECOND CHOICE - to be nhs and vibe all day 💀❤️ and be a gossiper and mastermind on the side 😼 i am a gemini after all HAHAHA.

omg which character deserved better 😭😭 oh no, my gut reaction of lan zhan of course 💔 i’m still thinking about that fic i read like 2 weeks ago where it was his life recovering and grieving after the 30 lashes ahhh all the pain he went through and waiting 13 years for wwx to come back!!! that really really breaks my heart. and then all the things before like his fucked up childhood, mum dying, dad dying, cloud recesses burning, getting his leg broken, pinning after someone, and having the love of your life DIE!!!! wtf 😭😭😭😭😭😭 it hurts me so much.

oooo other fandoms - so i never really contribute to any of the fandoms i’ve been in. i just sit back and observe ❤️ and i’m normally into one fandom at a time. for some weird reason hannibal doesn’t count 💀 i will always be laughing at that show HAHAH.

but before mdzs tbh i was honestly just waiting for another fandom to take me 😭 so i watched avatar the last air bender and the legend of korra in june/july this year and ahhh it was so good!! and i read heaps of fic and my other blog basically became an avatar blog ahaha. then before that the september-december period of 2019 was my it chapter 2 era bc i saw the movie at the cinema and the whole reddie thing - having the love of your life die before telling them that you love them 💔 (whoops spoilers lol). and before that i honestly can’t remeber??? i think my fandom blog was more of a multi fandom blog with posts from everywhere - rather than just super focused on one thing like it is now HAHA. no regrets ❤️

i think this will be more on an indicator - my top fandoms in my AO3 bookmarks are:

mdzs captain america 💀 lol this is why i’ve relapsed with the sambucky show les miserables avatar game of thrones hannibal inception yuri on ice

hahaha that’s so funny - that basically sums up the last 5 years of my life 💀

what about you - who do you think deserved better? and what other fandoms are you into/active in?

oops my phone is about to die 😳 so i’m gonna post this asap HAHAH

thank you for the questions haha ❤️

TOP 25 FICS OF 2018

1. A Cornstalk Fiddle by @notbecauseofvictories | Devil Went Down To Georgia | The Devil/Johnny | 17k

Where Johnny goes, the Devil follows; where Johnny goes, the Devil is already there.

Heather Says: So. I never thought that my favorite fic of the entire year would be a fic written about a song - and one that I don’t even particularly like - but here I am. I read this fic the same night that I finally broke down and watched Moonlight, and ended up listening to Moonlight’s End Credits and Hello Stranger by Barbara Lewis on repeat while I finished that first chapter on my back porch. This is that perfectly atmospheric fic that you’ll find maybe once every ten years and could probably sustain you on its memory for just as long.

2. Work of All Saints by @kaikamahine | Coco | Imelda/Hector/Ernesto | 210k

Imelda Rivera (b. 1899 - d. 1969), a story that includes but is not limited to: the finest music school this side of the Santo Domingo, three traveling musicians and the mess they made of love, the twice-cursed assassination of Venustiano Carranza, all the patron saints, and ninety-six ways a man can try to cross a bridge.

Heather Says: This story blew my entire mind. It was lovely, and tragic, and hilarious, and everything that a good novel should be. The parts of this fic that map out the unseen lives of Imelda, Hector, and Ernesto, that hidden backstory that a movie can only hint about, were exquisite to the point that I was afraid getting to the point where, well, they die, would be a letdown. It really wasn’t. If anything, the story managed to get richer as it went along, until suddenly you’re in a room sobbing into a pillow at four in the morning and have to be awake in four hours. No regrets.

3. Under the Covers by @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 87k

Steve is (maybe) a little bit still in love with Nancy Wheeler and (maybe) trying to figure himself out-- between the night terrors and the babysitting and the general weirdness that is Hawkins, Indiana-- before he graduates.

Billy Hargrove fits in there somewhere (probably).

Heather Says: Under the Covers was the first Harringrove fic that actually kicked me over the edge from ‘eh this ship looks like it would have good hate sex’ and into full-fledged believer. It’s an intricately crafted look into the world of Billy Hargrove and Steve Harrington post-season two and it is absolutely glorious.

4. Bloody Ruin by esama | Castlevania | Alucard/Trevor | 37k

Vampire hunter and a vampire try to get along.

Heather Says: Written before season two came out, this was one of those fics that I clicked on because the pairing interested me and I wanted to see how it worked. It did not disappoint, and even after I delved through the tag on ao3 after I marathoned season two, this is still my favorite.

5. a road less traveled and a life less led by Azzandra | Dishonored | Billie & The Outsider | 9k

She took him out of the Void, as promised. And then she kept him, she supposed.

Heather Says: You know all that fanart that started cropping up after Death of the Outsider came out? The ones where Billie and the Outsider crept around Dunwall or Karnaca stealing fish and safes and graffiti-ing buildings? The ones with that found family vibe? Yeah. This fic scratches the same itch that all that art did.

6. But I’m Not There Yet by sarahyyy | Yuri On Ice | Yuri/Otabek | 71k

“Are you not going to read the article?” she asks, flopping onto his bed. “Look who ranked second, just after Phichit Chulanont.”

Otabek reluctantly scrolls down, and oh. #2 - Yuri Plisetsky

In the embedded Instagram photo just under that subheading, a very grumpy Yuri is cuddling a very grumpy-looking cat. The caption reads: I found the cat version of me at the shelter today. #iknowisaidnomorecats #canyoublameme

Heather Says: And here, in the stupid cute category we have teenagers navigating love through social media. What’s more, there’s a companion fic.

7. flowers start to bloom in every different hue by orphan-account | Coraline | Coraline/Wybourn | 1k

Coraline grows up, gets a tattoo, and falls in love. In that order.

Heather Says: I read this fic on a slow day at work, often in quick bursts while I was waiting for the kitchen to finish my table’s food. It’s short. It’s sweet. It’s perfect. And honestly? It’s everything that I was looking for when I ventured into the Coraline tag on ao3 because I was curious.

8. Victory Conditions by @astolat | Transformers | Megatron/Optimus Prime | 37k

“Do you want me to tell you a story?” Megatron said mockingly. “You won’t like it, Prime. It’s not a very nice one.”

Heather Says: Fun fact, I’m not even in this fandom. I haven’t touched the Transformers fandom since the first movie came out in 2007 and I spent a very confusing week shipping a boy and his car. But Astolat has literally never lead me wrong, and I was having one of those bored days where nothing quite itches the right spot, so I sat down on the couch and spent two hours reading this. Worth it.

9. just in it for the game by grim_lupine | Thor | Thor/Loki | 6k

“It's excellent rehabilitation for my image,” Loki says, widening his eyes. “They love you, and because of that they'll trust me. You wouldn't ruin this for me, would you?”

Thor glares at him.

Loki’s mouth twitches. “Also, it's the funniest thing that's ever happened to me.”

Heather Says: The Thor/Loki bug never really bit me until after Ragnorak came out. I mean, sure, I read it and it was good, but hella’s Frostiron fics basically destroyed me for any other Loki pairing. HOWEVER. Ragnorak happened and screwed that all the way up. Also, you know, this fic is absolutely lovely and was just what the doctor ordered.

10. so this guy walks into a bar by MasterOfAllImagination | Pacific Rim | Newt/Hermann | 2.5k

“Bourbon,” Hermann says, hooking his cane on the edge of the bar and sliding by degrees onto a stool.

“Straight up?” the bartender asks.

“Please.” Does he look like the kind of man who enjoys having his nostrils fumigated by undiluted whiskey? “On the rocks.”

Heather Says: I coped with Pacific Rim 2 by reading a couple AUs and a couple very, very long fics full of tragedy and math. Weirdly, the AU of a chance meeting in a bar was the one that stuck.

11. cherry pie by @brawlite & @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 133k

Billy Hargrove lives for summer. Endless sunshine, heavily chlorinated pools, roaming ice cream trucks, and unencumbered freedom? There’s nothing better.

Even being stuck in Hawkins can’t ruin the summer for him. He eats it up, devouring every day whole.

Heather Says: Yeah, okay, but this is the fic that made summer worth it. Highly recommend reading at the pool or with your feet hanging off the back porch. Every piece of this fic was dripping in summertime nostalgia. It was fan-freaking-tastic.

12. the ghost and the good queen val by Wildehack (tyleet) | Thor | Thor/Valkyrie/Loki | 27k

“What,” she says, her heart racing, “was that.”

“What was what?” Korg asks, frowning up at her. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Valkyrie squints suspiciously at the ship.

“Oh my god,” Korg says. “You did! You saw a ghost!”

Heather Says: So, remember how I coped with Pacific Rim 2 with copious AUs? This is how I coped with Infinity War.

13. For Better or Worse by DragonBandit | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 22k

All Damien ever wanted was someone who wanted him. All Damien deserves is to die alone, stripped bare of any of the comforts or affections of humanity, a title he willingly shed.

Mark Bryant seems to be the Universe's compromise.

Wherein Damien and Mark are soulmates, and this changes enough.

Heather Says: I think I’ve read this one three or four time this year? It’s 22k of well-written fic for a fandom that has a max of like 100 fics all with lengths that tend to vary between a couple hundred words to 2 or 3k, max. This fic is the one that really catapulted me into the fandom.

14. in waves by @lymricks | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 38k

It’s March and it’s too cold for Billy to be shirtless and wearing shorts, but he hadn’t noticed until Harrington appeared and made him hold still. Harrington can’t seem to stop looking at the bruises. “What’s it to you if I miss a little school, Harrington?” Billy asks. He feels goosebumps rising on his skin.

“I don’t know,” Harrington snaps back, looking uncomfortable. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other. Plant your feet, Billy wants to scream at him. I’m going to bowl you over.

Heather Says: And here we have the first fic that wasn’t written by either @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger or @brawlite that made me realize that this fandom was gonna be a good one. So fantastic.

15. the cure by aquaexplicit | The Flash | Cisco/Harry | 43k

“I guess I don’t really get what you need to fix? Harrison Wells is a hot, rich genius that pays you to make cool stuff with his daughter and is totally into you. If you guys boning is the biggest problem you have, I think this officially qualifies as your best relationship ever.”

When Barry puts it like that, everything sounds so simple and not at all as angst ridden as Cisco has been suffering the past few months.

Cisco hangs up on him.

Heather Says: I remember a couple years ago, I fell absolutely head over heels for this one Sterek fic where Derek had twin toddlers and Stiles was the hired babysitter. So I think there’s something about dad + babysitter fics that get me, even if this one in particular the ‘baby’ in question is a fifteen year old genius. Still. Dad + babysitter. I don’t even know, but apparently it works for me.

16. pull out the insides by SpineAndSpite | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 3k

“Stop,” Damien says again, more insistent this time.

“I’m not doing it on purpose.” Mark's heart pounds in his ears and he sees Damien’s hands shaking. God. They shouldn’t have started talking about sex. Shouldn’t have filled in the colors and shadows to this pencil outline of a sketch forming between them. They shouldn’t have given it a name.

Heather Says: This year seems to have had a theme when it comes to fics that I’ve liked and it seems to boil down to: people who are bad for each other have sex and catch feelings. Mark/Damien is not the healthiest ship. But it also hurts in this stupidly tragic way and hell if I didn’t fall head over heels for it.

17. tell me, get my shit together by paperclipbitch | Star Wars | Han/Lando | 5k

“I thought we were actively avoiding each other after the Trandosha Shitshow,” Han says.

“We’re actively avoiding each other after the Iridonia Shitshow,” Lando corrects him, “the Trandosha Shitshow is That Which We Do Not Speak Of.”

Heather Says: So, guess what I did in the two to three hours after seeing Solo? If you guessed: ‘combed through ao3 until you ran out of fic’ ding ding ding, you are 100% correct. This one was very, very good, which makes sense, because paperclipbitch has some good shit.

18. chases, escapes, true love, miracles by pepperfield | The Flash | Cisco/Harry 55k

Just because the timeline has been restored, doesn't mean things are back to normal. Cisco's got 99 problems, and Harry Wells is approximately 38 of them.

In which Cisco makes a bunch of plans, fails most of them, narrowly avoids being disintegrated, receives a hug or two, finds his groove, and gets his man. More or less in that order.

Heather Says: This one was long and wibbly wobbly, because it was basically what season 3 should have been. But it was also really great, and had some super quality Harrisco interactions.

19. Your Pretty Little Heart by Ever-so-reylo | Star Wars | Reylo | 64k

Modern day AU in which Ben is an Alpha, Rey is an Omega, and they are way better at having sex than at communicating with each other.

Heather Says: Speaking of people who are probably a little bit bad for each other... This particular fic was new to me, not because of the um, extensive sexual content, but because I’m usually not a fan of A/B/O. But this one was extremely good, enough that I actually liked it for a/b/o aspect rather than in spite of it.

20. Draconia by perceived_nobility | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 4k

"So I was driving. One ex wife and one ex husband later, stopping at the same fucking gas stations you and I stopped at."

Heather Says: This fic actually prompted a 3 hour long conversation on the ‘adult’ Mark/Damien discord where we basically outlined an entire fic that I never got around to writing where Damien is raising a child, has a farm, and runs into Mark ten years down the ride. One day, I might write it, because vaguely domestic, meet-again-ten-years-down-the-road fics always bowl me right the fuck over and just. There needs to be more fic like this one in the world. But until then, the world can marvel at the beauty that is this one.

21. Artifice by buttpatrol | Wolf 359 | Hera/Eiffel | 23k

A story told in parts about colour palettes, identity, robot uprisings, sensational trials, space, and messy love.

Heather Says: As I’ve recently finished relistening to Wolf 359 I have a fresh appreciation for this fic, which is one of the only longer fics on ao3 that just grips you by the heart and squeezes the same way that the series does. It might have been written before the end of the series, but it’s honestly just as perfect.

22. (shoot the lights out, hide) till its bright out by lipgallagher | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 93k

The most dangerous thing walking around Hawkins goes by the name Billy Hargrove.

And he fucking knows it.

Heather Says: I’m kind of cheating here, because this is a series rather than a single fic, but I’m not picking just one part. I read the first four or so parts of this fic when I was visiting my family in South Carolina and spent the next few days wandering around the place half-in Steve Harrington’s headspace. It was an incredibly surreal experience, which lead to a pretty strong combination of mania, depression, and an indescribable craving for ice cream. So like, maybe don’t read this fic if you’re in a bad head space? But also it’s very good and features one of the most fucked up and intriguing Steve’s that I’ve seen yet.

23. Until My Feet Bleed and My Heart Aches by Reiya | Yuri On Ice | Yuuri/Viktor | 197k

‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’

Heather Says: I actually read this one on the plane ride down to South Carolina, and kind of didn’t like it at first? I’m not sure if it was just the act of putting Yuuri and Victor into the position of rivals that made me uncomfortable or the goddamn delays that turned half a day of travelling into a full one, but eventually I was able to get into and enjoyed it quite a bit. I really like the rivals to lovers trope, so I’d been looking forward to this one a lot.

24. Traveling Far by @astolat | Game of Thrones | Jaime/Brienne | 24k

Three weeks into their delightful slog across Westeros, during yet another charming day of shitting in the woods, eating half-raw squirrel, and trudging his feet bloody, the single most dour and uninteresting woman Jaime had ever met in all of Westeros stopped in the middle of a field, drew a deep breath, and said, “When I was seven, my aunt came to visit with her son. My father told me that as the daughter of the house, it was my duty to show hospitality to my guests and to be gracious to them. I wanted to make him proud. So for three weeks, I let my cousin follow me around and talk to me about spiders.”

Heather Says: I’ve become very fond of astolat’s Jaime/Brienne fics, and I think this one is my favorite yet. Featuring Starks, found family, and a whole lot of walking.

25. lilies of the valley (cover me with kisses, make my garden grow) by diasterisms | Star Wars | Reylo | 8k

Every girl is entitled to the mistake. That one colossal fuck-up that permanently alters the terrain of who you are. You'll either learn from it or you won't, so might as well have the time of your life.

Heather Says: I just. I really like flower shop AUs, and the idea of a Kylo Ren who owns a sleek flower shop being menaced by a tiny gremlin in a leather jacket just. Kills me. It was really sweet and all kinds of wonderful.

Victuuri Fic Rec List for a Friend

I have a friend who asked for some Victor Nikiforov/Yuuri Katsuki fic recs, so I decided to compile a list of some of my favorite pics I’ve read in the past month or so. This list only includes fics I don’t think she has read!

**Falling For Your Charms by Reiya

Professor Katsuki’s crush on Professor Nikiforov is supposed to be a great secret.

So naturally, the whole school knows

Kiss Kiss Katsudon! by AwkwardPotatoChild

“Yuuri, will you join us? Will you join the Host Club?”

Yuuri’s eyes grew wide and his mouth hung open slightly as Victor clasped his hand in his, bringing it up to his face. Did he imagine that or did Victor’s lips actually brush against his knuckles just now? He looked into Victor’s blue eyes and saw the kindness and honesty within them as he kneeled before Yuuri. He unconsciously licked his lips in anticipation when he noticed the corner of Victor’s mouth lift to make a soft smile. Yuuri gasped quietly, suddenly realizing the situation he was currently in. The world seemed to disappear as the two of them continued to stare at each other, only momentarily being brought back to reality at the sound of Yuri complaining about how nothing was happening. Shaking his head and bringing himself back to his senses, Yuuri closed his eyes and took a deep breath before giving Victor a serious look.

“No.”

We Close at Six by beAUtiful (future_fishy)

Yuuri works at the rental desk of an ice rink. Viktor is a business man who happens to go to said ice rink every day after work. Throw in an adopted son, a gossipy best friend and a lot of mutual pining and you get this.

***The World Opened With You by DiAnna44

Despite the smiles famous violinist Victor Nikiforov puts on for the world, he’s been in a slump for almost two years, and no longer views himself as worthy of his fame. When he’s paired up to play a duet with esteemed pianist Yuuri Katsuki, he finds inspiration once again, and maybe even something more.

of paperback novels and several loud screeching noises by kuragins

Yuuri Katsuki: lonely bookstore owner

Victor Nikiforov: lonely author.

Phichit Chulanont: everybody's favorite meddling best friend.

A Lifetime to Perfect by BrinThePuffling

Yuuri dreamed of meeting his soulmate for as long as he could remember. Imagined a grand romantic fairytale. Life, he learns, is rarely like dreams. (Yuuri POV)

No Sound Sweeter Than Your Laughter by BrinThePuffling

Meeting your soulmate was supposed to be effortless. Soulmarks made it easier than ever to find the one (or ones) you were destined to be with. If only soulmarks could do anything to prevent misunderstandings.

(Viktor POV)

**Lessons in Love by fangirlandiknowit

All Viktor wants is for his son to be happy - and if that means spending countless hours at the ice rink, a million more in the ballet studio, and devotedly cheering for Katsuki Yuuri at every competition he enters, then that is precisely what he'll do.

He just didn't expect to become a fan, too.

(He didn't expect to fall in love.)

Matched by bigspoonnoya

Viktor Nikiforov considers himself an excellent matchmaker, but there's one love life he can't seem to get right: his own.

**A Week is Enough by BeautyButterBae

Yuuri asks Victor to become his boyfriend for a week.

Victor agrees.

(Aka Yuuri is sexually confused and certain that Victor is both the source and the solution to his problems. He hopes that seven days in Victor’s embrace will help him find his answer.) [Post-episode 4]

Six Hours Ahead by alipiee

When Yuuri downloaded the harmless quiz app, he didn't expect to become best friends with the Russian boy who asked him for a rematch.

Porkcutlet: Wait, you're from Russia right?

Makka: I am, why?

Porkcutlet: I was just wondering what it feels like to walk on the same ground as a real life angel?

Makka: Umm

Makka: It just feels like walking?

(In which Yuuri unknowingly befriends Viktor online and gushes to him about the living legend himself)

***Gubraithian Fire by IdunAurora

Seven years have passed since the end of the Second Wizarding War, and with the world turning a little brighter in the aftermath, the wizarding world has grown a little closer. Mahoutokoro might be the logical school of choice if you live in Japan, and Uagadou if you live anywhere in Africa, but if Hogwarts just so happens to have a more intriguing curriculum, why not go there instead, now that they actually accept students from outside the UK and Ireland?

Well, frankly, Ludmila and Ilia had little choice but to send Viktor there just in time for his sixth year of education. With a dark wizard, or several of them, on their heels, there really had been no other option than to flee from Russia, settling down in a flat in London's West End instead, with top-rated aurors on the case and a chandelier the size of the moon in the living room.

With worry gnawing in the back of his mind and his heart attempting to hammer itself through his rib-cage, Viktor plunges himself into studies, Quidditch, too many towers, friendship, and... wait, who's that guy with black hair and glasses that suddenly set the world aflame by breathing in his general direction?

Welcome, students, to the Hogwarts Role Reversal AU.

Write Me in C Major by Thehobbem

Living Legend of figure skating Victor Nikiforov has just won his fifth world title and doesn’t know where to go from here - but falls in love with Katsuki Yuuri’s music at first hearing. Famous movie composer Katsuki Yuuri is trying to bounce back from a series of flops when his idol shows up with absurd requests. Victor wants Yuuri to compose about him; Yuuri wants Victor to skate about him.

Gotta Like, Like Those Humans by Shermanshire

"I am going to like, like a human!" Were the exact words that Yuuri had said as a child. They were also the exact words Yurri kept with him for more than a decade later as a loveless vampire. After thinking his words were nothing more than fantasy Yuuri happens to meet the Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov. Now Yuuri has become a thirsty vampire whom's human crush maybe even thirstier.

*Starstruck by shizuoh

"Hold my son for a moment," says the Viktor Nikiforov, live in the flesh, sweaty and panting.

"Wha—" Yuuri can't even begin to comprehend what's going on before Viktor is gone, and there's a child in his arms.

(in which yuuri is a simple barista, viktor is a famous movie star, and yuri is an 8 year old kid stuck in the middle of it.)

***Unwritten by kaizuka

Soulmates AU where whatever you write on your own skin appears on your soulmate, but when there is a language barrier, meeting becomes just a little more difficult than it should be.

YOI Youtube gamer AU: Level Up! (Chapter 1)

Written by: Admin Sunny

Description: Yuuri Katsuki, or KatsudoneWithIt on Youtube, is feeling self-conscious about his channel. He wants to be more like his idol and crush, the wildly popular xViktoriousx. But it’s at his best friend and fellow Youtuber Phichit’s party that something happens that changes everything for both Yuuri and Viktor....

Warnings: Uh....I don’t know? Inconsistent chapter lengths? If I end up thinking of any to put I’ll go back and put them here.

I don’t own Yuri on Ice, I just wrote this for fun. I’ll post new chapters whenever possible.

--------------------------------------------------

1: Yuuri Katsuki

If you’ve ever had a celebrity crush of any kind, you know exactly how I felt about xViktoriousx. Who’s he? Only the best, the cutest, the funniest, most amazing Youtuber on the planet! He deserves every single one of those 18, almost 19 million subscribers he’s got- none more loyal of a subscriber than me, his number one fan, KatsudoneWithIt! To put it lightly I was absolutely in love with him. I knew that Viktor Nikiforov was hopelessly out of my league...but a boy can dream, right??

Yuuri Katsuki-Nikiforov. That’s the name I always liked to write with a heart, just doodling on some scrap paper, while watching his videos. It sounds bad, but it’s true: My heart would always do little flips whenever I took out my phone and the notification said something like, “xViktoriousx is livestreaming: Portal 2 Speedrun! … What is sleep anyway?!?!!?” It was just...everything about him. His eyes, his cute accent, his absolutely perfect face and body, his silvery, shiny hair, and especially the way he just was in videos! I absolutely adored it whenever Viktor would do things like throw a bunny slipper at the screen when some NPC in the game critiqued his character’s outfit (“You’re one to talk, you’re wearing the same sweater as me! AARGH! AARGH! *slowed-down AARGH!*”) or waving his copy of Dalmatians 3 in front of his dog, pretending to try and get Makkachin to chew on it, and him dubbing over the dog saying in a hilarious voice, “Are you kidding me with this crap I’m on a strict diet, I’m only supposed to eat rubbish once a month and I already knocked over the kitchen trash bin last week ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME FAT VIKTOR????” (Which, by the way, when I watched that episode at about 2 in the morning, I laughed so hard I accidentally woke up Mari. She wasn’t amused at all, of course- even when I showed her the video I was laughing at! No sense of humor, some people…)

That's the kind of thing I wish I could do. I do already have a decent number of subscribers- about 7,000 right now- but I'm not even close to being in the same ballpark as Viktor. My gaming channel is...pathetic. I get really nervous before recording, and I can't even bring myself to do a face cam! I mean, why would my fans want to look at my big, fat, ugly face while I was rambling about Minecraft, or trying to talk about Borderlands 2?

··········

“I just don't understand it, Minako,” I sighed, looking at my subscriber count on YouTube. “Why are all these people subscribed to me? I'm over here like ‘Hey guyyyyys it's KatsudoneWithIt here…’”

“They just love your content!” she cheered on the other end of the phone. “Yuuko already tried to tell you this- you're selling yourself short. You deserve those subscribers! You make great videos!”

“But… I just feel like they're so lifeless and bland!” I exclaimed. “Why can't I be more like xViktoriousx???”

“Because you're not him, silly!” Minako wasn't helping matters by giggling at my YouTube apathy. “He wouldn't stand out so much if everyone made videos like his.”

“He likes doing YouTube though! He probably watches his own videos and thinks to himself about how great and hot he is all the time,” I said, staring out the window past my computer screen wistfully. “He's not a noob who has to edit out 30 minutes of him getting run over by a tank in Call of Duty!”

“Yuuri!” I almost dropped my phone from her shouting in my ear. “Why do you edit it out?? I bet the fans would think it was funny!”

“Because it's funny once, stupid the other 18 times,” I said, rubbing at my ear.

There was a knock at my bedroom door, a knock consisting of 3 very rapid knocks and 3 knocks spaced out further in timing.

“I gotta go, I think Phichit's here.”

“Bye, Yuuri! Don't be so hard on yourself!” Minako said, before hanging up the call.

I opened up the bedroom door. Phichit greeted me with a tight, enthusiastic hug.

“Yuuri!!!” he cried out.

I hugged him back, trying not to sigh morosely.

Phichit let go of me and put his hands on my shoulders, looking very concerned.

“What's wrong, Yuuri?? You didn't hug me back as enthusiastically as you usually do!” His eyes fell on my monitor.

“Are you moping about your videos again?” Phichit asked. “You're doing just fine, Yuuri! You have 2500 more subscribers than me! That should tell you you're at least doing something right.”

“Easy for you to say!” I gently shook his hands off of my shoulders and flopped face down on my bed, burying my face in the folds of my hoodie, emblazoned with Viktor's YouTube profile picture/symbol, which was a shiny, metallic capital V with wings on a royal violet background. “You still like doing your YouTube videos.”

“Yuuri, what are you talking about?” he asked me.”You said you like doing YouTube!”

“I do… But the videos just… they need something. I'm trying to be enthusiastic and funny like you and Viktor, but it's just so boring!” I said. “I don't know. I just… I don't know what happened! Why isn't it as much fun anymore? Can you help me, Phichit??”

Phichit sat next to me, gently rubbing my shoulder. “I think you need to take a break,” he said. “You're probably just burnt out. It happens to everyone sometimes! I have the perfect opportunity, too! I'm having a party this weekend at my apartment. You should come, it'll be fun!”

“I guess,” I sighed. I never really liked parties, but I did like going to Phichit's. It gave me a nice break from the chaos that often resulted from our family owning an Internet cafe. Yu-Topia, it was called, right between a cellphone store and a sweet shop, on the second floor of a shopping center in the business district of Hasetsu.

Maybe he was right. Maybe Yuuko and Minako are right too. I'm over thinking this and just need to step back and breathe.

Crunchyroll Anime Awards

Now that Crunchyroll’s Anime Awards voting is open, I thought I’d share my votes on my blog. This post came out a little long but I’m not putting it under a cut because I don’t want to. It took me like an hour to write so yeah.

Voting is open from the 3rd January until the 10th January and you can only vote once per browser. To vote for each of the categories, you can click on them.

My votes:

Anime of the Year: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

This show is one of my few 10/10s, so it’s no surprise that it was my choice for this category. I love everything about this show - from the characters to the voice acting, the music choices and the tragic story. I was so sad when it ended and so happy when S2 was announced!

This slot however, could have been taken by Yuri!!! On Ice if it hadn’t fucked up the last episode so badly by going against the narrative it had been building.

Hero of the Year: Deku from Boku no Hero Academia

There weren’t many options for this category because I don’t think I watched many fighting anime this year. Deku was cute and kept trying to better himself, so he deserves this slot from me.

Villain of the Year: Yoshikage Kira from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable

Holy shit this guy is so intelligent and weird that he had to be villain of the year! The other nominees were too uninteresting. I really liked Kira, especially in the last few episodes. No more hands for you, mister!

Best Boy: Yakumo from Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

Admittedly, this was a very tough choice. I love Bon/Kiku/Yakumo very much because he is such an interesting and complex character overall. His desire to do things outside his gender box really hit a note with me, and his one-sided love for Shin/Hatsu/Sukeroku pulled at my heartstrings. We see so much of him from an early age to an old one and he great no matter his age.

The runner up here is obviously Katsuki Yuri from Yuri!!! On Ice. His battles with anxiety made him extremely relatable for me and I loved how he persevered when stakes were high. Alas, with the weird characterisation in episode 12, I didn’t feel like he deserved to win this for me.

Best Girl: Miyokichi from Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (write-in)

I didn’t like any of the nominees for this category and the only other female character that came to mind initially was Nako from Orange. I think she flip-flopped too much to deserve a vote, however Miyokichi was an extremely interesting female character who was integral to the plot. She may have been the cause for the tragedy but all she wanted was to be loved by the person who had her heart - and we can all understand that, surely?

Best Fight Scene: Deku VS Kacchan from Boku no Hero Academia

Again, I didn’t watch many shows with a fight scene but this one did stand out to me. The way Deku ran around the building and used his head to fight against Kacchan was pretty damn cool.

Best Animation: Yuri!!! On Ice

Part of me is angry that I even picked this, because the animation in this show was not always the best (understatement). However... it was such an ambitious project that didn’t seem to have enough budget or time to meet its goals that it deserved this spot for simply doing as well as it did! The episodes with few skating programs in were animated beautifully and some of the routines were downright gorgeous.

Most Heartwarming: The Kiss from Yuri!!! On Ice

Of the choices they had to go with, I’m surprised Crunchyroll chose this one. For me, the most heartwarming scene was probably the ring exchange (or Yuri finally doing a masterful version of his free skate) but this one was fantastic too. I remember being shocked and overwhelmed with joy when I saw this scene, earning it many a rewatch.

Drama of the Year: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

The second I saw this category I knew what my choice was doing to be. The drama in this show was fucking excellent. It made me so sad and so happy when things were going well and I’m excited for S2.

Best Couple: Yuri & Victor from Yuri!!! On Ice

The most healthy and interesting relationship I’ve seen bless the anime world. Well, I guess until episode 12 that is. Up until that point they establish boundaries, seek affection from one another and get freaking engaged. I didn’t much care about marriage until it became a thing in this show!

Best Comedy: Sakamoto desu ga?

Very few pickings for this category. I couldn’t even think of an alternative that wasn’t Gintama (which didn’t count because it started airing in 2015). This show was funny enough.

Best Action: Boku no Hero Academia

Again, I didn’t watch many action shows but this one was genuinely good. For a one-cour shounen title, it did extremely well. I’m very much looking forward to S2, and I’m grateful it hasn’t been turned into a weekly show like One Piece or Naruto where it could become stuffed with filler and pacing issues.

Best Opening: Yuri!!! On Ice

History Maker is so fucking good that there’s no contest. I have listened to it so many times outside of the show and I’ve never skipped watching it, so it has easily earned this vote.

Best Ending: Yuri!!! On Ice

Really loved this ending as well, especially since I learned that the singer was none other than Georgi! That guy has sweet voice control, I must say.

So yeah, those were my votes. What were yours?
