Ask Me Anything December #1

[mhalachai]

For the Ask Me Anything December meme - Day #1!

The question today comes from kass: Tell me things you love about Yuri on Ice?

Oh, I love so much about Yuri on Ice:

• How Yuuri and Viktor are both seen to be living with mental health challenges and it doesn’t define them nor diminish them.
• How their dedication to the sport (both the athleticism and the artistry) is so realistic.
• How Yuuri as an unreliable narrator made Viktor seem to slightly sinister in the first few episodes and it was a delightful evolution for the viewer to go back and connect all the dots. Just fun storytelling.
• How supportive Yuuri’s family and friends are of him, even when he feels as if he has failed them or let them down.
• Makkachin.
• How Viktor and Yuuri both call each other out on their behaviour and talk through things like goddamn adults. Also, how they both make mistakes and own up to those mistakes.
• How by the end, Viktor can see a future for himself (with Yuuri, yes, but also for himself).
• Also how there is so much left open for interpretation that we can fanfic AU *anything*

What do you all like about YOI?
