YOI Ep 12 and Victor’s Love

accioharo:

First off: Victor is still staying on as Yuuri’s coach? He outright says as much in the episode.

There are so many posts about how Yuuri is going to be coached when Victor is competing, but Victor outright says he’s still coaching him. 

It is going to be difficult for Victor to try to juggle both, yes. But it’s so Victor, and so Victor for Yuuri, that it’s not surprising. And as much as Yuuri will lean on Victor, I’m sure Victor will lean on Yuuri.

I also got the impression that this season isn’t as much about the results as Victor, as it is the love of the sport. Sure he’s competitive, but hell Yuuri’s got to get that five time world champion streak started as soon as possible or he’ll have to retire before he can complete it. 

Okay so the real meat of this post. I’m going to talk a lot about Victor’s love for Yuuri and how it manifests in this episode, and also a little bit about Yurio’s love for Yuuri.

SO, the series is slowly coming to an end, and by that i mean in 3 days my life will crumble away to nothing because one of the most amazing series this year is going to end….

i have a feeling that victor won’t go back to competitive figure skating (unless im proven wrong by the new episode and then this little thing i made wont make any sense lol) but i wanted to make something for him just because… i feel like i get sadder looking at victor with each passing episode, like deep down he wasn’t really happy or something like that or maybe he was letting down his fans since they wanted to keep watching him skate etc etc etc and so by the last episode, i want him to be honestly truly happy
