Kubo confirmed Victor and Yuri kissed and yes, it was first kiss. In the tweet you can see above she said something like “Is it just me or something synchronized with Nigehaji this week?”.
Nigehaji is a current airing drama on Japan, the main characters just kissed for the very first time. She was subtle but clear enough to make us understand the message.
Right now I’m looking at January 15-21. If there is something wrong with that time, let me know. Also, if anyone has any prompt ideas, send them in. More details to come.
I know the fandom has slowed down, but as long as anyone is interested, I’ll be here to make it happen. Even if I’m the only one interested.
Can we talk about the significance of this outfit being inspired by Johnny Weir, an openly gay skater, who also used to have a husband named Victor Noronov(who is of Russian decent)? YOI is big on symbolism and subtle clues so while this is a really sweet gesture of honoring Johnny’s legacy, I feel like this is also a bit of a nudge towards Victor’s character.
