We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We've known each other for so long

Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up

This is probably the funniest scene in YOI. Viktor is such a dramatic bitch and he thrives on being infuriating. I love him so much.
All of your tags are delightful but I’m focusing on this bit because NO YOU’RE NOT READING TOO MUCH INTO IT. @ectobiologay said it too, but that’s how Viktor is.
“Yuuri, slumber party!!!” All cheerfully - and then crying in bed when Yuuri says no.
“What should I be to you? All these things you obviously don’t want? No? Boyfriend, then. I’ll do my best!”
“Not sure what to do. Should I just kiss you? No?”
“… I wish you’d never retire - this impossible thing that would mean I get to be your coach and spend time with you forever!”
And even “You said nothing about marriage but we exchanged rings so I’ll just call them engagement rings in front of everyone. Because that’s what they are! Right??” (^ෆ⁾⁾⁾)
“I’m not kissing it if it’s not gold! What are you giving me instead? Hmm?? Come on, something exciting!”
They’re both reluctant to openly express themselves to each other. For Viktor, he goes “nudge nudge, poke poke” telling you exactly what he wants in a joking tone, pretending like his desires are not a big deal. A defense mechanism because then if he gets told “no” - it’s not so bad, is it? It’s not like he opened up to ask for it.
I imagine him as a teenager sweeping through competitions, building himself as one of the best, and learning that he needs to build a persona, a mask to hide behind when his life starts getting documented by cameras and interviews. And it includes smilingly forcing his way into everything he wants. You can’t say no to him and he doesn’t have to be straightforward because he’ll act like what he wants is reality and the world around him will comply. And then with Yuuri it’s a mess and they need to figure it out.
I love them both. Someone teach them to communicate. Queer disasters, both of them.
So myself and two best friends got matching tattoos that say Κύριε ἐλέησον. It’s pronounced Kyrie Eleison and in ancient Greek means “Lord have mercy.” It’s one of the oldest Christian liturgical prayers and features in the Bible, and when Christianity became Latinised, it as one of the only surviving Greek prayers.
Just for fun I plugged it into Google Translate to see what modern Greek thinks of it and
10/10 A+ tat so glad its marked on my skin forever, would tattoo again
Thanks OP you ruined the liturgy for me.
never gonna hear The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack the same way again
Frollo: Ima kill this baby
Choir in the background: Dude fuckin chill

Choir: Dude… chill
My entire church singing in unison: ♫ Sir, please calm down! ♫ Calm down, sir! ♫ Sir, please calm down! ♫ Take it easy, sir! ♫
