One of my favorite tropes is “Villain Decay”. It’s not a redemption or reformation – the character themself doesn’t necessarily change morally or behaviorally, but the as the stakes become higher and more serious antagonists are introduced, the original villain seems harmless and friendly in comparison.
that’s how you end up in an elevator with your adopted emo god of mischief brother trying to convince him to stop being mildly evil for five minutes so you can defeat your mega evil older sister who is destroying your home planet
One of Victor’s favoritest things in the world is when Yuuri pronounces his name with four syllables instead of two, especially while sleepy or cuddly. All it takes is one sweetly drawn-out “Vi-ku-tou-ruuu” and Victor is putty in Yuuri’s hands. He would figure out a way to pluck the moon directly from the sky if Yuuri asked for it.
Oh fuck
This is why he doesn’t ask Yuuri to call him Vitya or any other Russian diminutive because Yuuri saying Victor in that very distinctive very Japanese very Yuuri way scratches that itch better then any another nickname.
Because Yuuri’s family call him Vicchan (or Nikiforov in Mari’s case) and he’s Vitya or Victor to everyone else but he’s Yuuri’s Victoru and that makes him fall to pieces every time
everyone loves to shit on david cage for making his games so heavily prompt based but let me tell you it’s the prompts specifically that elevate his work to the level of modern masterpieces
wheres the one where the player fails every prompt in a chase scene and it turns a dramatic pursuit into a mr bean movie
