Series: Part 1 of The Peanut Butter Jar AU
Summary:

So there was this jar, and it had so much peanut butter still in it, and when his fox nose scented it and didn’t catch any poison or spoilage, what was he supposed to do? Not avail himself of this gift? No. He shoved his delicate little snout right in there and got to licking, but, you know… Elegantly. Definitely not snarfing and making horrible little fox sounds and rolling around on the ground while he went ham on the jar. Sure, he had to work a little bit to get at the last of it, but anything good is worth working for, right? So finally, triumphant, no longer starving, and maybe a little thirsty now from eating half a cup of peanut butter in about two minutes, he’d tried to remove his head from the jar.

Operative word tried.

Or: Wei Ying gets stuck. Lan Zhan helps.

Wei Ying glances at his reflection in the mirror—yep, still him, all messy black-brown hair, red pointed ears, and sleep-squinty eyes—and yawns, wondering what Lan Zhan made for breakfast and what kind of sappy-ass note he left with it—

Wait.

Wait.

Red pointed ears?

Wei Ying blinks twice, shakes his head, and looks at his reflection again. His reflection looks back at him, hair mussed and eyes wide and ears pointed straight up and forward in alarm, his tail puffed out as he evaluates the threat—what the fuck, his tail?!

Or: Wei Ying's been both human and fox his whole life, but not like this.

Yuri on Ice fandom is currently collectively losing it bc the prequel movie announced in 2017 and reportedly in post-production before it was put on hold in 2019 has been formally cancelled

I'm imagining what the reaction would have been if they'd instead dropped Ice Adolescence (or even just the soundtrack) on streaming like a new Taylor Swift album, which apparently also happened last night

there's a rumor that the problem was getting Russian distribution, which, has YOI ever been legally accessible in Russia? even censored?

Snowflake wishlist

2024-01-06T22:08:08Z

snowflake_challenge 3:

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I'm mostly blanking on things I want that aren't on my fandomtrees wishlist (which has Emelan, Encanto, Miraculous Ladybug, and Yuri on Ice prompts) or holiday_wishes wishlist (though the only fannish bits there that aren't on the fandomtrees list are in the spending-money section).

But! The first chapter of starting right now I'll be strong and all chapters of Jeu des princesses avec les pommes d'or de la discorde, inscribed 'to the fairest', both canon-divergent Yuri on Ice fics, are told entirely through stuff the characters said on the internet. Notably on Instagram. Thing is I do not have either the art skills or the art commission money to illustrate most of those Instagram posts. So if I can't glue the Insta post together using canon screenshots, Wikimedia Commons, and Unsplash, then the Insta post has to stay text-only. (You can see in the second chapter of Jeu des princesses how well that's going. I do have two and a half of the images for the first chapter of starting right now—the first one, the Minami one, and the top half of the one where the bottom half is Yuuri stole Phichit's Pikachu hat—but comparing those two chapters may illustrate why I haven't added those images yet.)

So in addition to what's listed on fandomtrees—and I'm joining the chorus of Snowflake participants who want people to look over all those wishlists, or at least the ones with fewer than two gifts, and fill what you can—I am asking for fanart that's the image part of one or another of the Insta posts in one of those two fics.

And! fandomtrees doesn't do Creator's Choice of Fandom, which is valid, but does mean I had to leave this prompt off that list:

* exploration via historical documents, primary and secondary sources, etc., of canon characters/events and their effects on the local, regional, and global courses of history. this could be set a couple hundred years after canon and thus explore canon from a historian's perspective (social media posts could be both primary and secondary sources here, depending), or it could be set around, during, or before canon and explore characters who have been name-checked at most.

Also, the how to use CSS to make iOS messages look realistic guide by CodenameCarrot and La_Temperanza makes it seem like there should be a way to use background-image in the CSS from the how to use CSS to make vintage-2016 Instagram posts look realistic guide by gadaursan (with instIcon1 instIcon2 instIcon3 instead of instIcon, as well as instIconRight instHeart) so that those five little icons don't display when creator style is off. But so far all I seem to be achieving is making them not display when creator style is on, either. Send help?

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary:

Joining Yuuri for his exhibition skate at Nationals—exactly as with adopting a dog, cutting his hair, buying an apartment, moving to Japan, and returning to competitive skating—is an impulse decision. Viktor has no notion that he intends to do what he's daydreaming of until the thing is already half done.

Exactly as with those earlier life-changing decisions, he first spends hours if not months planning what he would do if he were to do what he daydreams of. This is no sign that he intends to do it: he has put as much thought into adopting a child, joining a ballet company, and moving to Switzerland. But once he decides he is doing such a thing, it is the work of a moment to take these plans from mere daydreams to irrevocable reality.

"Nobody gets me flowers," Viktor pouts, but he writes down everything Yuuri says anyway.

Summary:

It's almost reassuring that Viktor can still lose himself so thoroughly in a performance not to hear the audience reaction to his most-anticipated move.

Less reassuring when that's partly because the next lines are so bitter—especially now that it's not generic love songs and lustful poetry these spins evoke, it's being drunk on love and dizzy with lust for a specific someone whose spins are superlative—that Viktor doesn't want to know how the audience feels about it.

Yūri can almost hear the crowd applauding his flying sit spin. Yūko might be clapping (he doesn't look), but she alone is not a crowd of thousands. He must be imagining the sound—nothing else makes sense—and it will vanish at the end of the program, like the stars at sunrise.

• SP: "Katie Wants A Fast One", Steve Wariner ft. Garth Brooks
• FS: "Standing Outside the Fire", Garth Brooks
• EX: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)", Whitney Houston

Theme: Desire

('The River' is too sad and lonely a song for Viktor to want to skate to, however much it resonates. 'Where Your Road Leads' by Trisha Yearwood is not sad, exactly, but the problem is it's not lonely. There is probably a copyright issue with using the lyrics he transcribed from that video clip as his theme for the season, but fortunately there is a much more concise way to put it.)

To fandom_empire bingo prompt 'Perspective', ficlet_zone prompt Garth Brooks songs, and fan_flashworks prompt 'Doubt'. The song not identified in the story or summary is "Blind Ambition" from the Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie: Pyramid of Light soundtrack; Bakura Ryou is not in the movie, and Sailor Mercury is from a different anime franchise entirely. Also Wiktionary assures me си́ний is slang for drunk, as well as meaning indigo and other dark blues, and голубо́й is the polite slang for gay, as well as meaning azure and other light blues. 😸 And while both fics ought to stand alone just fine, "here like fire burning / o tremble not" takes place during the last scene break and may be helpful context for the last scene.

It's not underage alcohol consumption by Japanese or Russian standards, but it is by US standards and the character who's twenty and drunk (and gay) is in the US at the time?

( The Japanese skater uses a step sequence for warm-up that is not exactly Viktor's from his first senior exhibition program, but it's close. )

At least Yūri chickened out of giving Viktor candy in person before Viktor's free skate. It wasn't the only candy on the ice—of course it wasn't, they scheduled the men's singles free skate on February 14—but at least it got to him. Probably. Maybe even stood out as the only gift from someone who remembers him mentioning in an interview that he likes strawberry cheesecake.

…Yūri is not counting on that.

notes for next time: check the oil temp with an actual thermometer before first cutlet goes in! it won't brown right if it's too cold! and possibly beat more eggs to begin with, instead of downgrading from double to single dipped cutlets and then borrowing the reserved eggs and then beating more eggs
