Think I've said this before but the thing that really gets me about Yuri On Ice is that it's so much kinder than the world we live in. Russia isn't violently homophobic. Men's figure skating isn't homophobic. The Russian coach won't let his youngest star do quads until he's old enough to do them safely. Just things that should be true but aren't yet.
"[My Dad, Brother and I] all got matching Stanley Cup tattoos on our quads!"
"Let's see it! Let's see it! Stand up real quick! Let me see you!"
"'Let's see it!' Look at that."
"It's just a little guy! It's just a little guy!"
"I love it!"
"It's just a little guy, but yeah, no...Sam Bennett, Anthony Stolarz, Monty, and Steve Lorentz—we all got em like 2 days later. It was fun! We were all—you know, no sleep, straight into the tattoo estab—"
"Oh sure! You woke up and you were like, 'Huh, I got something on—"
"Oskar Sundqvist did the same thing, man!"
"I like it! I'm a fan of it! I really like it! And the fact that we all have the same one is pretty cool!"
"Let's see that hair real quick! What do you got going? Let's see what you got going—Oh, God! Andy!"
"What?"
"Geez, he's got that Swede in you!"
Btw if anyone has any mask, gear, or quadrobic content that focuses on mythic creatures or non mammals, especially reptiles, birds, and dinosaurs youre so welcome to send them to me
me vs genuinely trying not to tweak when something about the russian olympic trio from beijing 2022 goes viral and then all of the comments/replies are full of people who don’t actually care about figure skating BLATANTLY spreading misinformation about what happened
Headcanon that Seven of Nine and Naomi actually find Neelix’s cooking to be fine because it’s the only food they’ve ever eaten/their first introduction to food and when they get to Earth everyone’s so excited to show them Alpha quadrant foods but neither of them likes anything they’re offered very much. Seven doesn’t really care either way except that she has to get used to a whole new palette and Naomi likes the obvious (Ex: candy, cake) but frequently complains that nothing tastes ‘right’.
Naomi: -pushing away a slice of pizza- I don’t like it...
Tom: You’re kidding me. You don’t like pizza?
Naomi: It doesn’t taste right! Make it how Neelix used to.
Tom: You want me to put gerhalorian beets and yuk mushrooms in the sauce so it congeals into a lumpy, slightly sour mess? Is that what you want, Naomi?
Naomi: Yeah :(
I want Naomi and Icheb to work tirelessly together on a side project for years until finally doing it - being able to communicate clearly with those in the Delta quadrant! Icheb uses it to speak to the other borg children (now adults) and Naomi immediately uses it to call Neelix and ask him to find the nearest time portal and toss a big box of leola root into it. She’s been craving it for years! No one told her the Alpha quadrant didn’t have leola root, she wouldn’t have gone otherwise!
