there are SO MANY ppl predicting that yuuri’s not gonna win gold and honestly…. why are ppl so universally set on this? like i get that he doesn’t have to win it to have a happy redeeming ending but why CAN’T he win gold? why CAN’T he land the god of figure skating as a husband, redeem himself with a gold medal at the major international championship that’s been his goal for an entire year or more, end the year with triumphs and successes untold and just once in his life have it all? if this were any other sports anime i might get it but *mr darcy voice* it’s taught me to hope as i’ve scarcely hoped before

it’s been pretty hammered into us that despite his successes yuuri has never once had the stars align perfectly for him so honestly like why can’t we just have an anime where the gay anxiety-ridden socially awkward unreliable narrator protagonist has the perfect fairy-tale ending? y’all were so certain he was gonna get married but have no faith in the fact that he has the ability/deserves to win. this is like the one series where the dream of wish fulfillment could actually happen and not feel like everything was just handed to him without any effort and you’re out here so certain he’s gonna lose like let him live i just wanna believe in christmas miracles

I am 100% convinced Yuuri will win gold. The progression of his story doesn’t make sense without a win, especially after his disappointing performance in Moscow (which I was also 100% convinced would happen). To have him get anything less is a stagnant storyline. It doesn’t go anywhere.

That boy is bringing home gold … and with the way this anime is escalating, maybe also a husband.
