working on bloodsport while having Thoughts about yuri because holay molay his voice lives in my head rent free

like. wdym he wouldn’t spoon you in the morning, especially when he knows he has to get up. he doesn’t wanna leave, he just wants to spend the morning in bed with you. you’re both barely awake, heavy-lidded eyes threatening to close as you press back into his chest, his body warm and comforting against yours. he doesn’t have a rigid 6-pack and pure dry muscle – he may be a colonel that spends the better part of his free time knocking recruits into the dirt, but he eats like a soldier should.

he’s fit, you know better than anyone else just how strong he is and how far his inhumane stamina stretches, but he’s also broad. his body is befitting a commander, a strong voice to drown out doubt and chaos amongst his troops. there’s no arguing when he gives his soldiers a command. you keen when his body curves around yours, simultaneously trapping you in bed and tucking you into the safest spot in this base: his embrace.

and, for a few minutes, that’s all that happens. you nearly doze off once more, the soft sound of his breathing, the subtle rise and fall of his chest against your back, the steady heartbeat that timed up with yours ages ago; all of it threatens to drag you back to sleep. it isn’t until a familiar sound, deliciously saccharine sweet, breaks the silence, that you start to stir.

“милая…” yuri murmurs, the deep timbre of his voice like fire licking through your veins, igniting in your mind and forcing you to listen. “it’s almost nine, we really should get up.” he adds. again, the gravelly tone that sits low in his chest and vibrates against your back sends a shiver coursing down your spine.

you whine, breathy and weak, fatigue still winning out against your better judgement. “but, it’s cold today…” you argue in a soft voice, fighting off a satisfied grin that tugs at your lips when you hear a chuckle escape him. you know yuri well, he’s anything but a morning person – he’d rather spend the morning in bed than hunched over a desk or whipping men and women into soldiers. he’s only bringing up the time because he wants you to force his hand, to grant him plausible deniability.

“are you saying you will freeze without me?” he whispers, lips brushing against the shell of your ear as his hand leaves your waist to dance up and down your side. it circles the plush of your hip and dips all the way down to your thigh, the slow exhale that leaves you acting as encouragement. “you need me here, милая? hm?”

“yes,” you sigh, the calloused pads of his fingers tracing abstract shapes into your skin. “they’ll be fine without you for a little bit longer…” his touch moves inward, effectively caging you in when he leans over you to draw small circles into the space just above where you’re quickly growing to need him the most.

yuri hums, smooth and low next to your ear, the smug grin that you can’t even see adorning his expression evident in his tone when he whispers a proper reply.

“i guess i can indulge you for just a little while longer.”

guess who got her print signed live by reboot yuri!!! 🤩🤩 ignore my typos and nervous typing please please

UTC because the screen recording is big lol

"your yuri" sorry y'all the man himself confirmed that yuri belongs to petra 😔 jk jk but i was fucking losing it over him adding that omg, he was so sweet during the whole stream and i'm still reeling over him fueling some of my yuri headcanons

[siilvan]

random thought, but wouldn’t it be kinda funny if makarov wrote in cursive?

like, bloodsport au where petra fails while undercover because this is the shit she’s trying to read (aka staring at in abject horror)

MWIII spoilers BTC!!! (it’s all Yuri ehehehe <3)

MY LOVE. MY HUSBAND. MY DARLING BELOVED SOULMATE. MY POOKIE WOOKIE WAR CRIMINAL MEOW MEOW MAFIA WIFE. MY GUMDROP LEMON CAKE HONEYBUN CINNAMON SWIRL CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. *INHALE* MY—

listen. i have MANY feelings about his new look. am i appreciative that he’s here at all? yes. am i going to be writing fics based off his reboot lore? absolutely. do i prefer his old look? 100%.

his actor (raphael corkhill) absolutely nailed his performance. it was phenomenal. i have zero complaints about the acting, he exceeded any expectations that i had. i just wish they had casted someone who was slavic (not necessarily russian, none of the russian characters are played by russians anyway lol) and looked a little more like OG yuri.

his voice? show-stopping. i held my breath the first time i heard it. i loved OG yuri’s voice (brian bloom <3) and somehow they’ve managed to top it. i literally fell asleep fantasizing purely about his voice last night – it is that amazing. and his chuckles, his little hums? i can’t get over it.

and the height upgrade? OG yuri was 5’11/180cm. reboot yuri is roughly 6’2/188cm, comparing him to laswell. his actor is only 5’8, so it was definitely an intentional move lol. they wanted him tall.

this isn’t a full review because i honestly haven’t seen everything yet. there’s apparently extra dialogue that laswell and nikolai say about him that a lot of people keep missing. supposedly, he used to work for barkov, just like makarov. nowadays, he’s affiliated with the kastovian armed forces. i like the change, it’s something new while still calling back to his OG backstory.

whenever i write reboot yuri – it’s with the OG’s face in mind lmao. new guy did great, but i’m going with what i prefer to look at, which is OG.

bonus blurry yuri because the phrase “blurry yuri” makes me giggle, it rhymes <3

[siilvan]

trying to work on a normal fic… but all i can think about is size kink…

[siilvan]

I’M GONNA HAVE A FUCKING ANEURYSM

[siilvan]

MWIII spoilers BTC (oh my god oh my godoh mygod)

I’m gripping my phone so tight. I am. Losing it. I love his OG look the most I think but honey this look is so good on him.

Tattoos? Gone :(

Height? TALLER. OG Yuri was 5’11”, reboot is like 6’1-6’3” 🤤

Voice? Oh my god. Oh my god. OG Yuri had such a good voice. REBOOT??? It’s so…. deep. Raspy. Smooth. I’m actually combusting. My mind leapt into the GUTTER the second I heard him speak.

This is Commander Yuri. OG Yuri was “persona non grata” Yuri. This one’s a leader, a commander, a strong figure. I love him. I need him to hold me. I’m projecting my daddy issues onto him severely.

Edit: forgot to mention that he’s working for the Kremlin?? Potentially FSB??? He gave Laswell FSB files about Barkov’s chemical weapons, so… love a man with a stable job /j

i’m sure this is basic info, but…. does this, uh… say anything about him…

[siilvan]

guys i uh. i need you to be honest with me guys. is this too ambitious an idea. guys. i need some honest opinions on this one.

[siilvan]

MWIII SPOILER BTC OH MY GOD

yuri. volkov.

my husband has a name. he has a name. i know what my new surname is going to be.

i’m shaking omg my head hurts so bad from getting so excited over all of this— i’ve got the name i’ve got some crumbs NOW SHOW ME HIS FACE‼️‼️‼️

also. volkov? as in, anton volkov? cold war? black ops and mw are the same timeline, as confirmed by zakhaev’s presence in cold war? yuri’s papa? his father? grandpa? i’m fucking LOSING IT.

[siilvan]

he wants me so bad (he doesn’t know i exist)

[siilvan]

minor MWIII spoiler BTC <3

me waiting for people to start including yuri in their fics now that he’s in the reboot (i will personally info-dump his entire lore – OG and reboot – to the community because i need him y’all)

[siilvan]

random post, but shoutout to 12 y/o me who got MW3 from her aunt one day and played it, expecting just to shoot stuff and not get into it… she didn’t know she had daddy issues even after clinging to every commanding officer in the game (sandman and pudovkin <3), and i didn’t know until years later that i clung to this stupid ass trio.

my boys. my idiots. my loyalist commanders. my war criminals. 2/3 are dead. 2/3 were ugly. yuri had no less than four missiles shot at his feet. nikolai’s face changed every single game. kamarov lived for drama and nothing else.

i loved them for no reason other than “teehee older man that i can substitute for my lack of father/older male figure.” yuri was silent 80% of the game. nikolai was perfect. kamarov appeared just to die. i didn’t even play MW2 or watch gameplay of MW1 until 2022, but i clung to this trio nonetheless 😭 soap, price, and team metal, as well (sandman my first love), but these three… special place in my heart.

(MWIII pics used BTC)

AND WE OFFICIALLY HAVE ALL THREE OF THEM IN THE REBOOT LETS GOOOOOOO

*sobbing on floor*

listen. listen. this doesn’t matter to anyone but me. i know i chose the worst group to attach my daddy issues to. in my defense, i was 12 and didn’t even know i had ‘em. honestly, “daddy issues” makes it sound too cute, i was a kid when i started getting comfort from these guys… call it father problems or paternal predicaments 😭

i’m just. look. i know how i look to an outside audience. i know how my blog looks to someone who doesn’t know me well; but, i’m not just fawning over every russian character. these three specifically, *tapping glass that they’re encased in*, are special to me. if i attach to them and pretend like they’d love me (romantically or platonically), then i can feel the love that i’ve never gotten from a father or an older male figure.

this is just a nonsense ramble because i’m so sleep-deprived, but you don’t understand. my boys are back and better than ever. nikolai eats everyone up whenever he comes on-screen. yuri actually gets to have a full name and cutscenes outside of “dust to dust”. kamarov isn’t ugly (gene farber 🙏) and they’re all just AKEHDKRJWJDKFJE.

i love them. i love the comfort they give me. i know it’s odd for me to cling to this trio of all people, but i have. my boys. my dumbasses. the reboot did them right. now, i just need them all on-screen at the same time.

i want them to have a podcast. i’d listen to it.

‼️Please Read‼️

Turning off anon asks for a while, sorry y’all. I just got sent an ask with a twitter link, assumed it would be fanart or something, opened it up to a video of gore. Luckily it didn’t auto-play and I clicked off the second I read the title and glanced at the thumbnail, but… nonetheless, still a bit shaken up from what I did see, so I’m turning off anon asks for a bit.

Sorry to the anons I have, y’all can send asks with your users on them and I’ll still love it lol. I’m also sorry to anyone else who might’ve gotten sent something like this… word of advice: don’t open links that seem odd.
