Sotus And Sotus S Were Kinda Way Ahead Of Their Time And Nobody Is Ready For This Conversation

Ok I don’t have much thoughts on Victor and Yakov’s relationship and who Victor learnt this from but I feel like he learnt more by being more invested in how he presents himself. So when he choreographed for Yuri he had a vision and felt no one could style better than he himself. I feel like Victor always had neat parted hair that’s neatly falling on his forehead through the show and he’s always got this sass and charm which draws his fans to him.

But most of the anime shows Yuri’s struggle with self belief & how he learns to be more confident through Victor. So I think it’s reflected in how Yuri always has his hair down & it’s just free, not really gelled or styled unless he’s performing ? And i would like to think Victor brushing & gelling his hair before the show is more of a way to calm him down?

Victor too is on a journey of learning how to motivate his student & teach him to believe in his own abilities. Perhaps by gently brushing his hair he’s trying to calm down Yuri by telling him to breathe slowly and focus on feeling his touch on his hair? Maybe he’s saying some positive affirmations, or trying to divert Yuri’s attention? And also it’s best that Yuri is with him the whole time before the performance & let him do it rather than do it himself or be with a random stylist when his anxiety is at its peak.

Yuri and Victor hug or hold hands a lot to convey their feelings or support, so it is also probably his way of reassuring “Yuri, relax, I’m right here by your side” we also see Victor helping Yuri with his skates a lot before the show, and it feels like a way of constantly reminding Yuri “I’m here. Right here by your side. I’ll never let you go”

It could also be trust Yuri is putting in him? Like going “I’ll trust the vision you have for my costume”

At various points in the show we see that although Victor can be quite savage about practice or winning there are many subtle hints about him being soft for Yuri. Like the time he was patient when Yuri was refusing to tear down his walls, or how he was surprised & probably a bit relieved when he learnt Yuri had forgotten what he did when drunk at the banquet (no bcs he literally took a break to come hit on this man & after so so long learns Yuri has no memory of anything😂)

But overall to me this moment feels like something really soft these two have on their relationship be it as a couple or as student-coach.

So we see that Viktor is the one that does Yuuri’s hair (at least some of the time) because of that photo during the credits, and that makes me wonder, who does Yuri’s hair?? Braiding is somewhat difficult, especially so tightly and far up on the head, so it doesn’t make much sense for Yuri to do his own hair when he already needs to be concerned about competing.

I therefore propose two possibilities:

1.) Some of the time, it is Viktor that does it. He had long hair for quite a while and knows how to take care of it. He and Yuri know each other well. Yuri, for all of his grumbling, genuinely respects Viktor and his talents, as we see through his insistence that Viktor choreograph his program and return to Russia to coach him. I feel it’s quite reasonable that Viktor would be trusted to do his hair.

2.) It’s Yakov. Yakov, the old man with no children of his own, who pours his heart and soul into the skaters in his care. Viktor’s family is (at least to me) likely not in the picture, and Viktor grew up spending incredible amounts of time with his coach. Viktor is talkative and affectionate and his relationship with Yakov reveals quite a deep bond — Yakov may have been the one to style Viktor’s hair before competitions as there was no one else to do it for him. When Vitya leaves and he has another young skater to look after, it makes sense that these skills would transfer over. He’d be the one standing at Yuri’s back, carefully parting his hair into sections and ensuring he is presented as best as he can be. Viktor ties Yuuri’s skates as if preparing his soldier for battle — what if Yakov’s version is styling their hair?

as a shy introvert who not only joined but also worked hard to excel in public speaking events so that my crush notices (we didn't end up dating but whatever lol), just going to say that watching Tinn going out of his way for Gun hits different.

Parallels

I’m watching My Demon for the plot

The plot

Haikyuu character Sugawara as your boyfriend

His favourite part of the day is telling you about his day

Thought you'd be jealous of Kiyoko but he ends up jealous when you say you find her attractive too

Prefers phone calls over texts

Always cheers you on in your endeavours

Makes sure to say that he's grateful of how supportive you are about his obsession w volleyball (he feels guilty for prioritising team over you sometimes)

Laid back and not much of physical touch person (not that you both are shy, but that's just how it is)

A very mature relationship where both of you want to be tg for long

Always tries to spend quality time w you after practice

He's sometimes so tired from practice he gladly falls asleep in your lap

Would literally run and kiss you hard after a great match/ fruitful practice

Loves talking about his younger teammates as well as some opponents he's befriended

Sawamura is grateful the vice captain he leans on has someone too

Runs his hand through your hair and smiles a lot

You once washed and packed his uniform & sports gear for him, he was over the moon, wouldn't stop bragging about it to his teammates

You both gossip a little about Michimiya's crush on Sawamura for fun

Gets flustered & looks at you a lot if he's not playing on the court when you come to cheer

You once asked to try on his jersey so he's now very careful to not get it sweaty and smelly so you can wear it a lot

Tanaka & Nishinoya tease him a little about how whipped he is for you

Doesn't plan anything like cheesy couple outfits, but would absolutely wear one if you ask him to

Gently affectionate but not very big on PDA

You once dabbed his sweat after a match and he swore his heart was about jump out from his throat

More romantic and emotional intimacy than physical

Lets you paint his nails and keeps them even if his friends say the mismatched colours look funny

Cups your cheek a lot

Loves loves loves receiving cheek & forehead kisses

Too stunned to speak when you give him any gifts

You both stargaze quite a bit everytime you meet at night after his practices

Wdym my body hair is ugly?? Like??? I'm a mammal???? Why what're you?? A reptile?

#stop shaming people for being human it's sickening #go read about pros and cons of hair removal on the internet #instead of using it to post hate comments

Kim's chains & their possible symbolism (Part 1/3)

The safety pins

Both are instances when Kim is intruding other's rooms to find information. Therefore the "I'm a safe space" symbolism of safety pin doesn't stand here. Especially when Kim is breaking into the place where others keep their things safe.

It could probably mean Kim is poking his nose here like a pin 😂😂

The safety pin is holding 2 ends of the chain, so it could also mean he's trying to piece together all the clues & information he can lay his hands on.

Part 2

Part 3

Special

"You could get sick in my bed and I wouldn't even care. It might be a bit annoying to change the sheets but I wouldn't make you help."

So from ep4 (posting before ep5 releases) we can see that even Puen is passing off everything as "for the script" & is unwilling to take responsibility for his actions.

Meanwhile Talay likes it & hopes it was sincere. So now it's Puen who's not taking responsibility for making Talay like him.

Color symbolism of soft blush - Vice Versa Episode 3 🌸

Soft pink is often associated with feminine qualities such as nurturing and compassion. It is also symbolic of budding romance and falling in love. Which is precisely what both the boys are experiencing at this moment.

Pink also has negative connotations such as passivity and unwillingness to take matters seriously.

Puen refused to take responsibility of Pakorn's life until that eye opening conversation. On the other hand Talay is still in denial about Puen's obvious flirting.

Pink is also associated with timidity & inexperience. Both the leads claim to have never experienced dating. While Puen is letting his heart lead, Talay is acting timid & cautious, thereby caging it. He's neither taking responsibility for his own feelings nor for making Puen fall in love with him. 🥲

I think the best part of KinnPorsche, and it really comes to mind with this latest episode, is that every character thinks they’re in a different genre and it’s the funniest thing watching it clash with the reality.

Kinn is just living his best rom-com life where he falls for his sassy but kind assistant bodyguard that he can no longer live with out.

Porsche is basically a YA novel where he falls for his sexy morally ambiguous love interest who’s secretly sweet but *gasp* his past has come to haunt him!

Pete thinks he’s in a dark psychological thriller where he must battle his inner demons and brooding but hot captor to maintain his humanity but it threatens to over take him at any moment as he is torn between his newly found dark desires and the reputation he prides himself on.

Vegas acts like he’s in gothic bodice ripper novel where his entire world becomes the kind, empathic heroine Pete and he will do anything to keep him to himself and Pete is going to help him overcome the truama of his past with his love.

Kim sees himself in this brooding noir style detective film where he must uncover the dark past of his family but oh no he finds himself falling for the pure and sweet ingénue Chay and must wrestle with the dangerous life he leads and the mission he’s devoted himself to and the love of his life

Porchay thought he’s living his Wattpad dream life where he meets his idol and gains his respect as he tutors him and they slowly develop a sweet friendship that turns into a heartfelt romance

They really demonstrate how all the characters are protagonists of their own story, and that’s how they make their decisions, based on the assumptions on the world around them. They think they know the story their in, and that’s the role they have taken, but the tragedy and the complications of these relationships is that they aren’t in a single genre story. They’re people, achingly human people, interacting with other complex people and what is salvation for one is a damnation for the other.

They aren’t in any specific genre (you know, beyond on the whole mafia thing) and that’s where the miscommunication happens, that’s how the drama unfolds, that’s how all these different romances keep missing each other, because they’re all operating on different wavelengths based on the story they think *THEY’RE* in and not stopping to really consider the other perspective.

It’s absolutely hilarious, it’s terribly tragic, it’s utterly beautiful and performed so well by the writers and the actors.
