its very rare that I can contribute to fandom as somebody who only knows how to edit videos. @postpigeon edited the two of them kissing and I needed to edit it in motion to the video.
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.
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.
