Rip yuuri yuri on ice you would have loved ice adolescence...

One thing that has been bothering me a lot over the past few days is seeing all these RIP YOI, RIP IceAdo, Remember YOI etc. posts. As someone who discovered YOI later, I'm watching this unfold from the sidelines and I'm seriously worrying what this is going to do to the fandom. I understand that you are sad because the movie was cancelled, everyone has the right to be sad about such a thing, and I'm not trying to invalidate your pain. But, and I'm saying this with all kindness and my best intentions, and hell, I'm not even the first one saying this, but please hear me out:

YOI IS NOT DEAD.

It did not die last Friday. And it doesn't die because there won't be a movie. No story in human history has ever died because someone decided it was over. Stories are forever. They live in the hearts of the people. And so has YOI been living in the hearts of its fans since October 6th 2016, and will continue to live there for as long as we want.

Whenever I type "Yuri On Ice" into the search field of any social network, web archive, or search engine, I see hundreds of thousands of hits, most of them fanworks. Please take a moment to think about what that means:

In the 7.5 years since YOI aired, fans have made tons of art, written fanfiction and metas, cosplayed YOI characters, created fan videos, crafted all kinds of fan-made merch, and so much more. You are the ones who brought into being an infinite multiverse centred around an anime that is already larger than life. You have already created so much more YOI than Sayo, Kubo, MAPPA etc. could ever create even if they made one hundred movies. And even if every country in the world turns fascist and bans YOI, it will survive because fans will always find ways to preserve it and the power its message holds. Only stories that nobody no longer talks and cares about fade in oblivion.

You hold all the power to keep YOI alive, but, and this is probably the hardest pill to swallow, that also makes you the only ones who are able to kill YOI - be it by stopping to create or talk about it, or by shouting its death from the rooftops because you fancy yourself dramatic, or by turning the fandom into a hate-infested toxic hellscape, whichever will occur first.

And I honestly don't know which of these I fear most.

If you truly love YOI, please do your share and continue to keep it alive.

Do you ever stop and do the math to realize that Victor was born before the fall of the soviet union?? Cause I just did and it's wild...

Like, he turned 28 in 2016, which means he was born on December 25th 1988.

The soviet union fell on December 26th 1991. The day after his third birthday....

This is wild to me, and idk why 😭😭

There's a post going around with screenshots from a tweet showing costumes worn by Yuuri and Viktor in the cover art for the Yuri!!! On Ice Select Book. However, the tweet falsely claims they were made for the movie.

So, let's do some debunking!

Here are the reference images from my copy (note the description in the 2nd and 3rd image):

Here's a translation of the costume descriptions in the book. Yes, that's right. They made the costumes exclusively for the book.

This page shows the title of Yuuri and Viktor's programme (Phantom of the Opera).

The costumes have been designed for two adult characters and all the sketches show Yuuri and Viktor as their adult selves as well, not as teenagers.

That's all the debunking I can offer you because there's really no big secret behind it.

If you don't own a copy of the YOI Select Book, it takes only 5 seconds to find all the necessary information about these costumes on google. For example, the YOI Wiki has a page about it as well.

I'm asking you in all kindness to please be careful what information you spread!

Edit: Added two pictures for clarity. Also thanks to @blonndiec for providing additional information in the comments 🩷

I'm not going to reblog the post because I'm loathe to give misinformation a platform, but I guess that most people have already seen it anyway.
