shit victor nikiforov says after he marries yuuri

  • “hi, i’m yuuri’s husband, victor” instead of “hi, i’m victor nikiforov”
  • “you have to formally adopt makkachin now that we’re married”
  • “should we hyphenated makkachin’s last name so everyone knows he’s your son too when you pick him up from doggy day care”
  • “as your husband…” as an excuse to basically anything
  • “as your husband i have bought you an entire new wardrobe”
  • “as your husband and someone who cares deeply about your health i’m ritualistically burning this tie”
  • “as your husband i think i get a say on wether locker room sex should be a ‘no no’ or not”
  • “no i will not hurry up, beauty takes time, yuuri. i’m your prettiest acessory. no i will not stop calling myself that. don’t sigh at me.”
  • “it’s offensive to me that you haven’t groped my ass once while i’m wearing my new underwear, like why are we even married if you don’t take advantage of how good my ass looks???”
  • “what do you mean i can’t keep buying you expensive things and calling them engagement presents??? yes i know we already got married, we can do it again!”
  • “a fifth honeymoon is absolutely necessary. no, i can’t just call it a vacation. we are in LOVE yuuri.”
  • “i will blow you in the shower if you wash the dishes for me. yes, again. i don’t like touching the dishes it’s greasy and disgusting”
  • “i’m going to FIGHT the russian skating officials if i want to pair skate with my husband i will goddamned pair skate with my husband”
  • “yes i know it’s three am, but you still like being married to me right? what do you mean that sounds like something you’d say?? do i not look happy? that’s it i’m going to *insert over the top romantic gesture here*”
  • “listen if i want to make all my programs about my beautiful husband yuuri katsuki i will. im victor nikiforov, who’s going to stop me? god? i dont think so”
  • “we should arrange a wedding for our gold medals”
  • “i do what i want even if it’s a reckless stupid idea” *five minutes later* “nevermind yuuri says no”
  • “sex tapes are only trashy if you’re not married, yuuri”

i promise i’ll shut up after this, but the other weird thing about pitting two pairings like victor/yuuri and otabek/yurio against each other (besides the super obvious, which is that they’re in no way contradictory, plenty of people like both, and different pairings can fill different needs or likes for people) – the other weird thing is, man, setting up your pairing as the Gallant to another’s Goofus is such an easy way to make it boring

like, honestly, i love victor/yuuri as a pairing so much it’s pretty much sickening and they take up a significant amount of my daily thoughts. and yet whenever i see someone setting them up as a Virtuous and Morally Pure and Cage Free Organic Unblemished Pairing, my eyes start to glaze over a little. It makes me forget the reasons I really do love them in the wake of people’s reasons why they ought to be appreciated; like food being consumed for vitamins rather than deliciousness. 

I just laugh when people try to set them up as the #goals couple. Victor and Yuuri have THE WORST COMMUNICATION. Yuuri gives Victor a wedding ring and then the next day tries to fire him without notice! That’s shabby treatment for any coach, let alone your fiance. It’s especially a shitty thing to do to someone in the middle of his first season trying to establish himself as a coach! It’s a perfect example of the folly of attempting to be noble and selfless without actually talking to the person you’re trying to sacrifice yourself for.

And if Victor is genuinely going to try to coach and compete at the same time just to please Yuuri? Two full-time jobs, one of which requires him to function at the peak of fitness? Then their relationship is bad for Victor, until they actually communicate and figure this out.

WHICH IS FINE. They’re in their twenties! There’s no indication either of them have had serious long-term relationships before this! When the show starts, Yuuri just graduated college. Victor is just coming off 20 years neglecting “life and love.” Why would they have it all figured out yet? Why pretend they’re 100% healthy and perfect when they’ve known each other less than a year and they’re still trying to figure themselves out, let alone figure out how their lives could fit together?

Viktor: Come on, I didn’t drink that much last night.
Mari: You were flirting with Yuuri.
Viktor: So what? He’s my husband.
Mari: You asked him if he was single.
Mari: And started crying when he said he wasn’t.
