YURI ON ICE NATION WE ARE BLESSED WITH NEW OFFICIAL ART

THEY LOOK SO GOOD

I think this is a brilliant response and borntomake makes some great points because yes, this fandom is created by everyone in it! Not just the most popular fic writers or artists! We can all contribute, we can all create the content to keep ourselves and others going! And there’s always gonna be someone who appreciates what you do!

But I’d like to stress this: It’s okay to walk away, too. It’s okay to move on to a different fandom.

And I’m saying this because many times in the past I’ve felt this sort of guilt - the “I’m not a devoted fan of one series if I also really enjoy another series” sort of guilt, the “I’m not a real fan if I move on to something else” sense of guilt.

But see, it’s not a question of whether you can move on to a different series - it’s a question of whether you can come back. And from my personal experience? It’s very easy to come back.

I’ve watched so many sports series and moved on from them fairly quickly once the season ended and there was no sequel in sight. Because that’s normal - why would you stay around when there’s no new content? But whenever they announced a sequel and the sequel was released I was right. there. immediately. I’d watch every new episode ASAP and die inside from all the weekly hype and excitement and great content.

The yoi fandom has always been very passionate and even though there’s less content made in the fandom now due to the lack of new official content and many fans spend more time in other fandoms, I’m not worried about its future. I could almost guarantee you that once we get more yoi movie news or a trailer or the actual movie itself, then fandom will come rrrrright back to enjoy and scream and keysmash and share their excitement. We’re just experiencing an understandable slump now.

Trust me, even the people who think they are “over” yoi will come right back - I thought I was over Free! but when season 3 was announced I realized that this was very much not the truth haha.

I do think that here in the yoi fandom we’re actually quite blessed - because there are still many fans creating new content for us every day. I swear, I check the yoi tag every day and every day I see new content in it. The reason I moved on from fandoms like Kuroko no Basket or Free! or Haikyuu is because people just… stopped creating content, and I had no reason to stay (Haikyuu is a bit different, since the manga is still ongoing, but I don’t read it so I can’t join the conversation even if I wanted to). Why would I check the tag everyday if there was rarely any new content?

So if you want the yoi fandom to remain alive - be an active part of it and create something!

And if you want to move on to a different fandom which you’re more passionate about - that’s also fine. All that matters is that you enjoy yourself, you don’t need to stay “loyal” to a single fandom for your entire life, this isn’t a monogamous relationship. And when you find interest or passion in yoi again because of a sequel - then we’ll be waiting for you to join us in the hype.

Fandoms are all about having fun - do whatever you makes you happy, even if it means temporarily forgetting about yoi. From experience, I can tell you that temporarily forgetting about something you love actually multiplies your love exponentially when the thing you love returns with a sequel.

I’ve seen the idea floated around that YOI’s storytelling format is like that of a biography or memoir– Yuuri and Viktor reveal important moments in their relationship, but also maintain privacy and gloss over some things.

So. *smacks hand on table* I need clips at the end of each episode that are narrated by Mari and Yakov. It will be called THE REAL DEAL

It will always start out with a slow pan from the end of the episode, transporting us from the beauty of YOI to a careful narration by Katsuki Yuuri himself.

“And finally, we broke apart from our reunion hug at the airport and went home to sleep,” Yuuri sighs. At his side, Viktor beams and snuggles closer on the interviewing couch. Their interviewer is already planning a tasteful fading out. There’ll be snowflakes. It’ll be touching.

Then they pan over to where Yakov and Mari are sitting. Neither of them seem particularly teary. Mari mutters something in Japanese, Yakov something in Russian. Translation might have been a problem, if they weren’t uttering the same thing. It flutters across the bottom of the screen:

BULLSHIT

“They got home at midnight,” Mari deadpans. “Yuuri’s flight landed at 5pm. Doesn’t anyone wonder what they got up to? Because according to poor Mrs. Hoshi at the drugstore–”

The video feed blips for a second (THE SHOW’S RATING IS PG-13), and then Yakov is talking. “–and I had a scarf that Vitya gave me after Worlds that year. I put it on Katsuki because he looked cold, and what do I get? The next time I see my scarf, it’s on Vitya’s Instagram. In Japan.”

“I’m sorry, I needed it,” Yuuri pipes up from the couch. “For… reasons!”

The picture Yakov mentioned is not shown, but there is a brief fan candid shot of Katsuki Yuuri sleep-snuggling a scarf on his international flight.

“Smelled like him,” is all that is squeaked out.

THE REAL DEAL is 10% brutal honesty, 25% embarrassing fluff, 25% sexy hijinks, 40% embarrassing childhood stories, and 100% Mari and Yakov commiserating over their stubborn, love-drunk skater family

I haven’t seen any posts with this exchange from the awesome Youtube vid ANIME CRIMES DIVISION so I decided to gif it myself cause I find it hilarious.

Personally I think Victor has a juicier ass but whatever

i’m very passionate about juicy butts
