Thing is, i do believe Ilya when he says that Irina didn't suck like the rest of his family. Whether from reading the book or watching the show, i believe him.
The proof? Ilya.
He's gentle and respectful of consent and boundaries, he never made shane feel uncomfortable for how he folds clothes before hooking up even though he did find it amusing, or how shane felt uncomfortable with so many windows even tho they were on one of the higher floors, mind you that at that point their feelings for each other weren't nearly as intense as its been later.
But he's also funny and made shane laugh alot even when he was uptight and nervous, ragebaity on the ice yes (he's still a hockey player after all) but he's a good captain and knows how to uplift his team whether its with jokes or speeches that made ME want to win their game lmao, he's always there for other people's important moment ie after scott came out and his speech at the awards (when he met scott at the bar, in the books).
Its so obvious how caring he is at the hospital scene too, he went to check on shane while also mentioning how marleau feels bad for what happened and wanted shane to know that. In episode six, reassuring shane when his dad found them, told shane he'd of course go with him to his family with zero hesitation, was there for shane as just a quiet support until shane really needed him while panicking and ilya immediately jumped in to reassure him.
But, he also cared for his father who was absolutely terrible to him and his mother, whom he FOUND when she committed (thats an entire trauma of its own). He spent his summers in russia taking care of his father, when he was away he was sending an absurd amount of money over, made sure they eat the best of food and wear the best of clothes in the hopes that it would be good enough but it wasn't and yet, and YET he still took care of them. Even after his father died and his brother being an ass, he's leaving money for his niece because none of this is her fault. It also broke me how emotional he got when shane talked about the foundations he wants to donate too and his plan like, after all this time taking care of others he got shane (and the hollanders) taking care of him and making future plans with him in mind and it got to him.
But he's also polite and respectful, he smiled at the nurse and said thank you, apologized to the bartender for his team being idiots, in episode six he's respectful of shane's family and dug into the food happily and said thank you for it later and also complimented the vodka they brought out. He played with the children at the all star weekend so beautifully and made them laugh and for god's sake! He likes to spread joy.
So yeah i do believe that she was beautiful and funny because, even though it was for only twelve years, she raised him! and he is exactly the way he describes her. Strong and beautiful and funny despite the circumstances.
He's proof that being kind is a choice you actively make every single day, that even with a shit upbringing or circumstances you can still be a good person because you choose to be. But also even though his mom left the battle at the end, she still powered through just like he is. Except he has Shane to be there for him while he fights his fight.
You can never make me hate Ilya Rozanov.
They really gave Ilya the type of backstory you give to prestige tv or adult anime anti-hero protagonists who either frequently screw over the people around them or mercilessly kills. Itās basically like putting the morally ambiguous character whose life is defined by tragedy and threw him into a lighthearted (by comparison, HR is still a pretty mature show) gay sports romance. However, Ilyaās good heart and treatment of others shows that you really canāt excuse the deplorable behaviors and actions of a lot of those complex protagonists.
as a woman in the ozempics era you HAVE to have friends who eat normally (3-4 meals a day, no girl dinner bullshit) and who are always down to going to cafes and eating burguers and fries and stuff, I cannot stress how vital for your mental health it is to have friends with whom you feel free to say you're hungry at any time and with whom you feel free to eat as much as you want
Listen, I know book Scott doesnāt clock Hollanov but my headcanon is that show Scott definitely does.
Shane: Iām standing in the hallway like an idiot. Scott Hunter is RIGHT NEXT DOOR!
Scott: (totally hears them having sex) *sighs* I should call him [Kip]

I want an edit of the last scene in episode 5 of heated rivals with history maker and āhistory, huh?ā In the background and I want it on my desk by Monday
That one show about a high ranking Asian male athlete with anxiety in an ice skating sport somehow seduces the highest rated person, a beautiful but blunt Russian man. Somehow, itās that godlike Russian who can get with literally anyone thatās the most down bad.
This is both Yuri on Ice and Heated Rivalry.
I should probably add that both Yuuri and Shane wear dorky glasses, same type of frames too like bruh

Back on my YOI hyper-fixation. Yuriās hometown crush is now married to his childhood bully, but instead of sulking about his unrequited crush, he just pulls his celebrity crush instead, who was somehow already down bad af over him. Power move, truly.
Yuuri Katsuki: The Top Japanese Skater
Given how YOI started with Yuuriās failure at the Grand Prix Final, it was almost too easy to discount the fact that Yuuriās a professional skater - the top skater in Japan actually.
But there are all these clues in the background, even throughout the first episode, that Yuuri is an unreliable narrator when it comes to assessment of his own skills.Ā
Just look at all the trophies that his family has proudly displayed in the common dining area!!!
In fact, he has so many, that there are evenĀ moreĀ trophies in storage in his room!
The series uses anchoring to introduce Yuuri as a subpar skater, to set the stage for the narrative of him getting stronger. But Yuuri has always been a damn fine skater and he has the trophies to prove it.
Adding here, if you take a look at this screenshot of JSF website at episode 1ā¦
And compare it to JSF website IRLā¦
Youāll know how big of a deal Yuuri is as Japanese skater⦠I mean, heās the only JSF-Certified Menās Top Figure Skater in YoI universe!! Morooka isnāt exaggerating when he calls Yuuri as Japanās Ace.
(Anw, thatās Yuzuru Hanyu and Satoko Miyahara in the rl JSF website, they just secured their place in this yearās Grand Prix Final :ā3 )
Heās 1,000% an unreliable narrator at the beginning.
Indeed Yuuri is Japanās top skater! Heās not a run of the mill skater certified by the JSF, heās the absolute top male skater in the entire nation. I think this is partly due to some of the CR subbing? I donāt believe it intentional, but a couple of line translations did make his repertoire sound not as impressive.Ā
This is why what happened to him at nationals was such a shock. For a skater who is at the top of their country to not even finish in the top five at the National Championships is just⦠something that doesnāt really happen often. Yuuri was most certainly previously the Japanese national champion, and I would imagine that heās got to be ranked top ten-ish in the world if he made the GPF. Judging by that website above, winning or placing high at nationals should have been something easy for him, so yeah, itās no wonder he broke down.Ā
(Obviously this is a universe where Japan doesnāt have several male skaters in their ranks who could potentially medal on an international level, including one who is largely considered the greatest male skater in the world.)
In the first episode, they even sayĀ āYuuriās not at Worldās this year?ā Because duh, he should be.Ā
Minami looks up to Yuuri so much because heās indisputably the BEST skater in his entire nation, so no doubt heās been watching him for years. Yuuri though is caught up in his self esteem issues, and heās constantly comparing his career to actual living legend Victor Nikiforovās career, so he doesnāt see that. Heās legitimately bewildered by Minami admiring him so much. Ā I actually love that episode because I think that being at a regional competition like that again really put things in perspective for Yuuri.Ā
Donāt forget that he made the Grand Prix Final before, which alone is huge. That means he placed highly at two Grand Prix events the previous year, which is exactly what heās trying to do right now (though his skating has increased in difficulty/improved so I imagine his placements are higher and his scores definitively areā not to mention the higher program component scores heās probably getting). Yes, he placed last, but in a field of six of the best skaters in the world, thatās still pretty darn amazing. I think that, to trigger the reaction he had, he must have not only placed last but skated very, very poorly.Ā
But yeah, donāt let his low self esteem fool you, even before this year there was nothingĀ ārun of the millā about Katsuki Yuuri and his skating career.Ā

Can I also mention that Yuuri is literally THE ONLYĀ male singles skater actually certified by the JSF?! He couldnāt have underestimated himself more.
Henry dreams about his beautiful Latin lover running towards him on the beach during sunset. With the wide grin, glowing tan skin, and wild curly hair, Henry realizes itās not a dream when Alex suddenly trips over a rock and face plants into some kidās sandcastle.
Alex would totally ask Henry how often he thinks about the Roman Empire, then Henry goes into a spiel about the homoeroticism of gladiator fights and Roman Architecture. Alex just sits there fascinated.
Thinking about Prince Henryās autobiography and how heād describe Alex when they first meet in Rio. Itād be so poetic and beautiful, something so longing like this:
āI was sent to Rio for the 2016 Olympics to boost morale for the British team. But at the opening ceremony, I encountered the most beautiful thing, something beyond the games, something so different from the life I knew. Something that I longed to reach out and touch, but couldnāt even stretch my arm for fear of losing myself. Or rather, someone.
He lived in dimensions I could never access. He walked with little grace, but with a striking assuredness I lacked. He spoke with brash, but with a wisdom that I could ever know. He actually lived, something I thought I did but realized in that moment that I didnāt. He had little care in the world, yet I saw that he cared for others. A spark of an eternal flame lit within me. I figured I need to pour water on this soon or else I will burn. Yet every second I experienced him, the little embers of my being grew into a roaring fire I could no longer deny. He changed me and didnāt even know me yet.
His name was Alex Claremont Diaz.ā
Heartstopper season 2 proving my point that people donāt try to talk to people they actually hate. Itās always Ben trying to talk to Charlie or Ben trying to talk to Nick. Neither Charlie nor Nick initiate anything, they simply respond to Ben actively provoking them.

No judgement but why is Alex and Henry's relationship in RWRB considered enemies-to-lovers?
Henry doesn't dislike Alex at all. At most he's defensive because Henry's annoyed by the giant crush he has on a beautiful loud American who obviously dislikes him yet demands his attention whenever they're in the same room together.
Alex does dislike Henry at first, but it's mostly justified hurt feelings confused by the giant subconscious crush he has on an elegant closed-off British monarch who attempts to cosplay a wallflower whenever they're in the same room together.
It takes one genuine apology for Alex to decide they're bff and I'm pretty sure that was in chapter 2?
If anything, RWRB is peak miscommunication trope. Itās not just the Rio misunderstanding thatās resolved during the press tour. Itās literally when Alex and Henry were hooking up and both of them believed that they were casual. Itās Henry ghosting Alex TWICE because he assumed that Alex didnāt or wouldnāt feel the same about him as he did for Alex. It took Alex impulsively flying to London and storming Kensington Palace soaking wet and cursing out Henry to finally get them to talk about their true feelings for each other.
How often do you think Alex thinks of his humble background and his life up until this, then looks and Henry and thinks, āhow did I bag the literal Prince of England so hard, he gave up his prince hood? Why was I someone worth giving up his status for?ā
Meanwhile, Henry is somehow still flabbergasted that he scored the chaotic American little shit he fell in love with in Rio, and leaving the monarchy was one of the easiest decisions to make.
Itās giving that one post from ages ago thatās like āI just want someone way out of my league, but thinks Iām way out of their league, and we live together in confused harmony with a dog (David).ā
