Not Really.

I'm just a student of Oriental Studies that likes to procrastinate (mostly by drawing and writing). What you will find here: Viktuuri (95%), Naruto/Sasuke, KawoShin, femslash, slice of life, and whatever else I find appealing (see my list of tags). Italian is my second language. I usually reblog in a certain sequence after sorting my drafts.

year 3000. naruto is dead. zoruto, the son of poruto, who was the son of coruto, who was the son of goruto, who was the son of boruto, who was the son of naruto, now has an anime. ‘zoruto is gonna…be better than poruto’ kishimoto assures, at age 1026.

On some level I feel silly for being so devastated by Ice Adolescence’s cancellation, what with the world a literal dumpster fire. But Yuri on Ice meant so much to so many. Representation. Beauty. Escape. Overcoming our image of ourselves. Love in its multiple forms.

And I think my partner said it best after watching YOI for the first time-

“I wish the world were more like that.”

I cannot express how debilitating it would be if the rumours I’ve been seeing regarding Ice Ado being cancelled is because of Viktor coming out as queer in some capacity and profits in China and Russia being the main concern for the studio are true.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, making Viktor an openly queer Russian was genuinely groundbreaking in a lot of ways because it lends a hand to queer Russian youth who may have never come across a character of this nature before, especially since Viktor’s sexuality is a comfortable aspect of his character. We see that Viktor is comfortable being queer, he embraces his queerness as much as he does his eye colour or hair colour, it is an intrinsic part of himself.

Queer Russian youth deserve to have that and I don’t believe a corporate entity would ever care about something like that, but fans should, and not just Russian fans. All of us should care about the ways in which queer censorship will have a very heavy impact on queer youth in places where simply existing is a death sentence, especially now as more and more of our rights are stripped away. Unfortunately, this goes beyond the cancellation of Ice Ado because of the implications of why it was cancelled in the first place, let alone the message that sends out to fans and other studios.

YOI has always been revolutionary in the impact it has held in regards to sexuality, gender identity and mental health since the airing of the very first episode and it would be a dishonour to fans, to Kubo-Sensei and Yamamoto-Sensei that their legacy is tarnished with greed and hatred.

Yuri on ice truly was a little miracle I don’t think we’ll see replicated again. An original 12 episode anime about men’s figure skating created and directed by two women..mappa took a chance and it paid off tremendously. You can’t recreate the amount of love and dedication people have for the show
