Merman Yurio, the Russian Catfish Punk!….or Fairy.
Yuri was born with very tiny and round-ish fins, earning him a cutesy look, but as a result he wasn’t able to swim very fast. He has very agile, being able to perform sharp evasions, but his swimming speed was slower than the average for his age. This scenario as reversed after his First Change, in which his fins suffered a growth spurt and turned sharper, allowing him to reach very high speeds. His scales turned a golden color, and he also got dark stripes, a trait inherited from his mother.
His tail is of the ‘speed’ type, common among racers, but his interest isn’t in racing, but in water dancing instead.
He has a pet eel named Potya. Potya is usually seen swimming between his arms or very close to his body. The eel tends to ignore anyone that isn’t Yuri or his grandfather, Nikolai.
Yuri has a high metabolism, which prevents him from building fat in his tail to warm him up during winter. Because of that, his grandfather usually makes him capes out of animals’ skins to help him retain warmth during winter. His tail is quite thin in diameter, and while it lacks in strength, it allows him to swim fast enough to avoid most sources of harm. It is also very handy during water swimming competitions, since he’s able to do quick and fluid moves.
THE LATEST ISSUE OF PASH! HAS A LAYOUT ON YU-TOPIA? I THINK? SOMEONE TRANSLATE!? I need to know where Mari sleeps so my head canons of her hearing Yuuri and Victor go at it can come true. POOR MARI NE-CHAN HAS TO TURN THOSE HEADPHONES UP
UP DAMN LOUD.
Victor and Yuuri at the start of the banquet, fully clothed and with full drinks.
They go off to schmooze. Victor’s flute is already starting to dwindle and he’s mistaken one ユーリ for the other.
Dancing with besties, and uh oh the drinks are halfway gone and–
wait
where did they go
???????????
Uh, this is the first merch with Mila. Could this be wedding merch?
Also Yurios different faces? My favourite is the one when he is forced to dance with Victor.
Holy shit so many fics can have improvements made now that we have some canon info!
I wish there were better quality scans so we could more easily see the info; it’s a little too LQ to read atm. Hopefully we’ll get some better scans soon!
OK I can read some of it.
Miyako is as close as a sister to Gou (mama-daughter BFFs, MY HEART!). Toraichi was a competitive swimmer in school, and Rin idolized him as a child.
