norway’s curling team is appropriately dressed for valentine’s day
day 2: norway is still slaying the pants game
day 3: pants game is still on top
day 4: still impressive
day 5: another day another trouser
day 6: they have yet to wear one pair twice
Okay so I already reblogged this once but I’m reblogging again because I just watched a short documentary about these pants.
Apparently back at their first Olympics appearance, they (especially Chris Svae, the ginger who plays second) were pretty disappointed with their gear because the gear didn’t look flattering. They couldn’t change the shirts because of Norway federation sponsorships so they started looking for pants to wear. They had a hard time finding pants that both looked respectable enough for professional curling and stretchy enough to allow curling, and promptly gave up on finding pants that were both stretchy and professional.
Chris Svae ended up finding pants that were Norway-colors-ish that looked comfortable enough for curling, but had crazy patterns. People at Olympics were not happy about this because PATTERNS AREN’T RESPECTABLE ENOUGH, so they were conflicted. But the night before the opening ceremony, they were hanging out with a bunch of lady skiiers. Chris at some point just takes off his pants and put on the crazy pants they bought and asks “Do you think we should wear these pants” and the skiers were like “he’ll yeah you should totally do it”
So they wore the crazy pants to play in the Olympics, and a few days later the website where they bought the pants crashed. The owner of the website visited them in Vancouver for the Olympics, and then decided to sponsor the team.
And now, 8 years layer, the Norwegian team has a different pair of pants for each match. Including a Valentine’s day pair.
A little drawing of the awesome Yuzuru Hanyu! 😀 HE WAS SO GOOD Not used to drawing real people as anime characters, but I tried XD CONGRATS ON SECOND GOLD, YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN
i can’t believe vitya are yuuri are now canonically into vore wow
Wait what
in the yume100 collab yuuri falls into the onsen which is ~magical~, turns into katsudon and only a loved one’s kiss can break the curse. vitya to the rescue! yuuri can either react with “no don’t eat the katsudon it’s me” or “vitya eat me~ and let me be a part of you~” and vitya kisses the bowl, bites into the katsudon and ends up biting yuuri’s stomach bc the curse is broken. if you pick the “don’t eat me” option vitya is like “i should have eaten the katsudon yuuri, he’d be a part of me” and yuuri calls him “carnivorous eros” which can be understood as “sex fiend”
oh and later yuuri asks whether his katsudon or human self looks more delicious and vitya tells him “human, of course!”
and that’s the rough outline of the story of how yoi got a new canon kink
Oh my god… Yuri is getting legit buzzed over Victor ♥️♥️♥️ he’s having a pure fanboy moment. Then MC (last post) is like “you really love Victor don’t you?” 😂
