I'm not a fan of fall. Or winter. Or anything that isn't scorching hot summer. Seriously, give me a city at 40°C any day, that's more than fine. The one bright light is figure skating. It makes the whole freezing drab wetness bearable.
reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
Yep. That is a VERY unfun ability. Even if Doctor Who is not your cup of tea, try Torchwood. It's dark and doesn't have a single character I didn't want to punch at some time or other but I came to love them all (even the one I wanted to cook alive at first). And that particular ... skill is really not something I'd wish on anyone.
immortality through not being incapable of death but by coming back to life after you die no matter what is such a cool power like it’s just so fucking metal. you can rip me apart if you want, i’ll rise from my own viscera and all you’ll have done is piss me off
A plea for imperfection
Warning: Random rambling ahead.
A friend of mine is beta reading my YoI fan fiction and in the second part (Love Aims At One Scope) she got really mad at Viktor. She's only seen the anime once, and when he makes a rather nasty, off-hand statement to an OC who is trying to make him feel better, she couldn't see it.
But here's the deal, Viktor isn't as clean as he seems. He is the epitome of a person who has no filter.
In the real world, a lot of people who say that about themselves use it as an excuse to be cruel. They put others down intentionally and enjoy it, and when that person has the audacity to tell them they're hurt, they claim they were only joking or gaslight the person in some other way.
Mind you, that is NOT how I see Viktor.
He's a great guy, he cares, he's affectionate, he can be incredibly kind and understanding - and sometimes he talks before he thinks through what effect his words will have. And that sentence in my fic - as bad as it is - I think is completely in character. I really contemplated changing that, or at least have him say something that isn't THAT bad, but it's something I can see. That sentence will stay.
I love Viktor. He's a wonderful human being. But he's also an incredibly flawed deuteragonist who hides his shortcomings behind his charms so well it works in the real world, apparently, not just within the universe.
My friend has since decided she has to watch it again for several reasons, and she'll keep a lookout for this. Currently, she has Viktor as much on a pedestal as Yuuri did, it seems. But for me his less-than-wonderful traits are what make writing him so amazing. It makes him feel real to me, and relatable, and even if I sometimes want to whack him with a wet towel (the original version in the anime and my own), I still think he's a walking green flag. Most of the time. When he actually uses his brain.
Look who's first! Come on, they deserve more than 12 episodes at a time where they couldn't even show their kiss without an arm getting in the way.
This is so beautiful! If you make a calendar, I’ll be needing one, that much I know already. They look so very happy and they both deserve it. <3
I said I'll give Yuuri dimples and I'm very happy I did.
This is cropped, the full painting is here on Patreon. (Payments currently paused until I can paint reliably again.)
I got lucky for being able to finish this, most of my art is on a hard drive I can't access until I find somewhere that carries the right cable. This painting was on a different folder on my desktop, because it's with pieces I'm planning to print.
I'm years late with the calendar I wanted to make, but I still want to do it. I'm making the month pages and definitely adding YOI character birthdays.
One more day! Let's keep our lead. Viktor and Yuuri deserve better than to just fizzle out because some people dislike one of their names.

This is the sequel to No Shadow to Run Away From.
Living together is hard.
It’s a canon-compliant continuation, starting just after the end of episode 10 and going on well beyond the plot of the series (eventually). Part 4 is work in progress and will be published when I’m done, but the first three can stand alone (seeing how I didn’t even know I’d write a sequel).
Don’t be confused by the gratuitous Vitali (that is the musical score), that’ll come up. Eventually.

What do I have a tumblr account for if I don’t use it? So here’s some self-promotion.
