added the logo to the cover art of the first chapter lol

my first yuri on ice fanart since 2019, and also the cover of the first chapter of the doujin/fancomic i plan to draw~~ my next drawing will just be a just for fun victor fanart before starting with the doujin tho~~ hope you like it <3 any feedback is really appreciated ...and also art tips, lot's of art tips, cuz i'm rusty and haven't drawn in so long i forgot a lot of stuff lol

I mean, I know new fanarts are being made, it just feels like they get drowned in the sea of old ones to me.

I was just expressing my sadness over how dead it makes the, still very much alive, fandom feel when the new stuff just keeps drowning in old stuff.

Especially since I just came back to the YOI fandom after a very long break and don't have access to my old Tumblr account (@snowrins-art) anymore, so I basically have to search for any YOI accounts as if I had just freshly entered the fandom but with how much new content gets buried by old content most "YOI accounts" I find left the fandom and moved on many years ago, especially art accounts.

The majority of active YOI accounts I found whom I followed were people who interacted with my art posts, because that's currently the easiest and most reliable way for me to find new accounts to follow.

If I hadn't found an active YOI discord server before creating this Tumblr account, I don't even feel confident I might have found any fellow YOI fans to bond and enjoy this fandom with, so I just personally think that prioritizing the new content over the old might help more to keep the fandom alive as it'd make it easier for current fandom members to find each other, especially for new members or those who just recently came back.

Like Yess I do get overcome with joy and nostalgia when I see the gorgeous victor art from blau678 (my favourite YOI artist) again after so many years, but right now I just wanna make friends and connect with fellow yoi fans

It really makes me sad to scroll through my Tumblr timeline, see someone just having reblogged some awesome YOI art just to see that the art itself was made in 2017... It just makes me feel like the fandom is so dead because WHERE'S THE YURI ON ICE FANART DRAWN THIS YEAR??? LAST YEAR??? OR OR AT ANY POINT IN TIME AFTER 2017????

Plz don't tell me there ain't any...

why is victor nikiforov posting this from phichits account?

just dropping in to remind everyone that yuuri katsuki is the most handsome man in the entire world and every day i am in awe bc of his beauty, and thats not even taking into account his talent and incredible personality both of which only make him all the more lovely

Spoon.2Di Toyonaga Toshiyuki's interview

Part 1.

-- Yuri!!! on ICE finally started airing - please, tell us honestly, how you felt after it was decided you got the role of Katsuki Yuuri?

Toyonaga: Personally, I really like figure skating, so when my agency contacted me about a figure skating anime, I was very happy. My manager likes figure skating even more than I do, though, so I was asked very fervently to get the role no matter what! (laugh) 'I can't really promise anything' - I thought then, but Kubo Mitsurou-san told me later that during the audition, she felt instinctively: 'Toyonaga-san is Katsuki Yuuri!', so I was very happy to hear that. Yuuri is an ordinary guy from a province, so even if it's an anime, I wanted to try to play the role as realistically as possible. During the audition, I tried to speak my lines as if they were my own words, and not make them sound anime-like, as much as it was possible. But I was worried that if this style wasn't what they were looking for for this anime, they would just think that I'm a very bad voice actor. In the end, it turned out that they liked it, so it was a relief. When they told me that I'd got the role, I was so happy I almost cried, but my manager was so excited and so extremely happy, that I couldn't keep up with them (laugh). Later, when I finally realized that I really got the role, I felt a bit of pressure too, because I set myself this challenge to play the role in such a way to not make it feel like anime voice acting, and I wasn't sure if I could really do for a whole season. Even though, that was all my of own doing (laugh).

there actually is a wicked stepmother; it's yuri's crippling anxiety that's the wicked stepmother which sucks extra hard for our pork cutlet bowl femme fatale bc unlike cinderella he can't just fuck off an escape their clutches. but with the power of love (and maybe some coitus) victor gradually frees yuri from "the wicked stepmother" a.k.a. his crippling anxiety

YOI is basically a Cinderella story, and Stammi Vicino is the glass slipper

Oh, how the tables have turned.
