Omigod I just read the best JP fandom meta.

With Yakov and likely his other rinkmates who know his habits, Victor’s hug is actually not an affection thing or a reassurance but an SOS call.

Guess what he did in episode 12.

“Help me, Yuri. I can’t do this. Yuuri’s retiring and I can’t stop him. I cried and I can’t stop him. Please skate your best. Please stop him from retiring. It’s still not too late right now, he still hasn’t completely decided. I can’t think of anyone who can save both of us but you.”

…………..and literally any salt I had remaining for Yurio getting the gold just vanished in the blink of an eye. GOOD JOB WITH THAT SKATE, SON.

I read this meta from here, btw.
