Kubo posted a drawing of naked victor while stretching on top of the roof’s castle, while remembering the yuri!!! on stage and victor screaming “IS THIS BETTER THAN CHIHOKO?“ to which yuuri answers “
WHO THE HELL IS THAT? I could search the whole world, nobody is better than you!” BLESS.

slytherin: so my cunning plan got so convoluted that i somehow managed to doublecross myself and ended up with a year’s detention

My ability to proofread increases by 1000% after I hit “Submit”.
this is often because when you’ve submitted something (like fanfiction to ao3) it will be in a different font, size and framing than in your word processor. The text will look different in the new environment so your brain stops skipping what looks familiar (like a typo that has been there since the beginning).
So, tip: revise your work in a different font and size. I guarantee you’ll catch more typos and mistakes than otherwise.
For all my writers (ones I follow and the ones that thankfully follow me)
I believe most of you have seen fans’ writing about Victor getting jealous over Yuuri’s ‘ex-lover’ Shachihoko or ‘Chihoko’. If you haven’t, please read them because you will not understand what I’m talking about next.
So firstly, what is Chihoko? Shachihoko しゃちほこ (鯱) is a mythical carp with the head of a lion and the body of a fish (auspicious protectors of well-being) and it looks like this:
And as you can see, they are VERY flexible. So when Yuuri taunted Viktor ‘Shachihoko is more flexible than you’ he actually talked about this half fish-half lion statue! Victor did not even get jealous to Yuuri’s human ex-lover, he got jealous over an effing statue!
But the story doesn’t stop there!
As you know, both Viktor and Yuuri were really drunk. And somehow a drunk Viktor is more extra than a sober Viktor. So he did what a jealous drunk lover do. He went to find and tried to challenge his rival ‘Chihoko’. But where is Chihoko?
That is the picture of Karatsu ‘Hasetsu’ Castle where Shachihoko or Chihoko lives.
So now, imagine a living legend Viktor Nikiforov. Imagine him climbing the Hasetsu Castle NAKED, challenging two ‘Chihoko’ he encountered, telling them “You maybe Yuuri’s past, but I’m his future!”
???!!!!! He is so extra I can’t take it anymore!!!!
Okay, this is it, this is the explanation we needed!
So that’s what a shachihoko is – a statue of a mythical creature that’s know to be very flexible.
Yuuri, you might want to tone down on the obscure references, you’re confusing your fiance lol.
