I ship this SO much

Jiang Cheng and the one consistent crush he’s had ever since he was sixteen.

What're your thoughts on the books? I have them but I haven't started reading them yet.

I liked them. They were different than the show and there isn’t nearly enough Eve and Villanelle interraction when comparing to the tv, but that should change a lot when book 3 comes out (and there HAS to be a book 3). That said, there is information about things that haven’t really been touched on yet in the show. Also, the writers of the show must have got access to storylines early or something, since there are things that happen in book two that happen in season 1.

I am not saying that Yuri can't or shouldn't drink, but the reason why he got that way was not because he was happy and I don't think he would have got that drunk otherwise. I also feel that the more he is able to work on his anxiety and is able to express himself to other people, the more we are going to see traits of "drunk Yuuri" appear except in a more healthy and controlled way. I guess I just want to see a sober Yuuri have the confidence to feel comfortable challenging people to dance offs and showing off his crazy dancing skills and not need to be so drunk he forgets the whole thing.

Yuri!!! On Ice episode 10

So, I have decided to weigh in on the credits scene of episode 10, because, well, it kind of devastated me for a number of reasons and I am still trying to come to terms with it. Also, everyone has been so focused on Victor that I couldn’t help but think of Yuuri. Anyway, I have seen a lot of posts about how great drunk Yuuri is and how cute it is that Victor was swept off his feet by Yuuri’s drunken eros and I am struggling. All I can be is grateful that this has only come out now and not earlier when Yuuri was less sure of Victor’s regard for him. Which is probably why they did it.

I can’t help but think of how terrible it would have been if Yuuri had felt like he had to compete with who he is while drunk. If he thought that drunk him was lesser than sober him. That Victor liked him more drunk than sober and NO ONE should EVER write that AU. Please I beg you. No one needs an AU fic involving Yuuri becoming an alcoholic.

I also can’t help but think back on episode 1. Yuuri was SO depressed about everything. He had dreamed for 12 years to meet Victor on equal terms and he had a complete flop. For him to then get black out drunk and behave that way in front of his idol? How is that equal terms? How is that in any way what he wanted? (I know life doesn’t happen how you want it too, but still…)

I can’t even imagine how Yuuri would have handled it if he had remembered before Victor had become more human to him. In my mind, this is comparable to his performance on the ice in terms of pure devastating force. To lose control of himself so completely when he hadn’t even been able to talk to Victor earlier. For him to know that his first interaction with Victor who he idolised SO much was while he was acting as an out of control, drunken, sexual deviant and at a formal event?

So, no, I don’t want Yuri to get drunk again. I want him to go to the banquet this time and dance and have fun with his fiancé and his friends because he feels comfortable doing so. Yuri’s behaviour at the previous banquet is so devastating to me because I know that if Yuuri saw his behaviour while sober back then, he would have been destroyed and because of that, I find it hard to associate the scene with any sort of positivity. I don’t care that it could be the reason Victor became his couch. That would not have been how Yuuri would have wanted their first proper interaction to be and it hurts.

Thoughts on YoI Ep 9

Okay so, I have been thinking about what could happen in YoI ep 9 and I am kind of torn between two thoughts. One is that Yuri won’t do so great in the free skate and ends up coming fourth, which will still allow him into the finals, but will allow for a truly exciting finals when we finally see him get everything right and win. 

My second thought is scarier and we sort of saw in ep 8. What if Yuri does a perfect routine in the free skate and it just isn’t enough? We saw this in ep 8. Yuri did a flawless routine and got a personal best score, but JJ was 4 points ahead. Yuri was amazing, but it wasn’t enough to keep the lead. But what if that happens again in the free skate? I have a feeling Yuri’s unusual stamina will help him in the end, but in the mean time, I would not be surprised if his confidence is shaken again. 

So what do you think will happen?

If YoI gets a second season

Here is my list of things I would want to see if Yuri!!! On Ice gets a second season:

- Victor to return to competition. This just really needs to happen. 

-Victor to have Yakov as his coach again.

- Yuri to have Celestino as his coach again.

- Victor and Yuri to be dating, because of course.

- Yuri’s theme to be family, because throughout the first season he has been coming to terms with the love he has for the people in his life and I think to follow that up with family or similar would be beautiful.

- Victor’s theme to be either love or Yuri, because I could see him choosing either and for the same reason, because Yuri is breathing love back into skating for him again and I think he would want to honour Yuri like Yuri honoured him.

- If the absolute worst happens and we lose Makkachin, I think Yuri and Victor should adopt a dog together.

- More time with Yurio and Phichit.

- Yuri winning against Victor

That’s all I could come up with off the top of my head. Let me know if you agree or disagree or send me some of your ideas.

Weird. That’s all I can say about it.

Well i can’t really believe it…. that make us anormal?? THAT’S AWESOME

IM SCREAMING

Today at Red Dragon Con it was announced by Mads that Hannibal and Will are now married, have dogs which he calls “the ugly carpets” of the relationship, and live in seclusion for 4 years before hunting together

[guide-to-uselessness]

So much of Hannibal’s decisions boil down to YOLO  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[guide-to-uselessness]

Bedelia: why are you bricking me up in a wall in your wine cellar?

Hannibal: you called my husband a twitchy little man

Bedelia:

Hannibal: we both know i'm that petty

Also asexual and I competely agree there needs to be more representation. So maybe next series? lol or they could show up in the third book or one of the Apollo books. We can hope. Anyway, Alex kind of won my soul, so I ship Alex/Magnus pretty hard now. lol

Not gonna lie, I was kinda crossing my fingers and hoping for Magnus to be aromantic and asexual. The only thing that could have made me adore Uncle Rick more was for him to break his trend of every hero needing a romantic partner.

On the other hand, Alex Fierro is awesome and amazing and totally worth Magnus being pan instead.

Q: Hannibal manipulates all of his patients, Will in particular. He even endangers Will. Is that some sort of tough love?

Mads: It helps to know what season I’m endangering him in. Is there a specific danger you’re thinking of?

Q: Let’s start early on, in season one, when Will is actually sick and Hannibal is taking advantage of it, and setting him up to take the fall.

Mads: Well, that is a necessity, right? I would love the story to go somewhere else, but the arrows are pointing in Hannibal’s way, so he needs a scapegoat, and that will be Will Graham for the time being. He just needs that for a while until he can come up with a Plan B. So it’s not a long-term thing. He was definitely going to walk down the path to joy together with Will eventually, but it’s something of a necessity.

Q: What about in season three? The tides have turned, Hannibal has been captured and he sets the Red Dragon on Will’s family. What about that?

Mads: Oh, that one. Yeah [he and Dancy laugh]. Well, even though he’s the smartest man in the room, you can’t avoid the fact that there’s a certain vanity inside of him. It’s not a direct jealousy, but there’s a vanity. And you know that family? I’m not sure Hannibal is, like, super-fond of it. So that comes in handy, that the Red Dragon is around. Hannibal basically just wants it to be Will and himself, and that’s it. [Pause] I didn’t say, “Kill Will,” did I, though?

Q: You did say, “Kill them all…”

Hugh: You could say that during the second half [of season three]-I mean, obviously we’re jumping ahead here, but Will comes back to Hannibal. He’s now got this family, and Will, independently and pretty quickly, starts coming to the conclusion that it’s not sustainable for him to have that family. Like, he’s not the guy. He’s not the right person to be able to look after them, to live with them. It’s not compatible with who he really is. And you could argue that Hannibal is just driving him more quickly to come to that realization. So in that sense, it is kind of brutal, tough love. His love is saying, “Know thyself.”

Mads: As Hugh is saying, it’s unavoidable. It’s going to happen sooner or later. Might as well happen sooner, before he’s stuck. [x]

He was definitely going to walk down the path to joy together with Will eventually. WELL JUST FUCK.ME.UP.

[guide-to-uselessness]

Agree with most of these. The second one I am dealing with at the moment with Harry Potter. It hurts. I can’t love it the way I used to. The first and the fourth one I deal on a nearly daily basis. lol
