I like that the way he tries to āhelpā is veeery jj, but i also like that he tries at all, itās like if his own anxiety attac during competition, turned him down a notch on the ādick scaleā⦠heās still pretty high, but he wouldnāt even have bothered before that happened to himā¦
Oh, absolutely. I think JJ is going to lean so hard into what happened at the GPF, because he canāt operate any other day, but itās all totally sincere. He tweets little daily affirmations. He Instagrams his blindingly bougie yoga retreats with Isabella (hashtag Namaste). Heās genuinely delighted and touched when fans tell him his comeback inspired them, because JJ Style isnāt just about skating, itās about LIFE. He talks about all of this at least once a press conference.
(Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, Yuuriās asked how he manages his pre-competition stress, and gives Victor the universally recognized look for 'I need you to pull the fire alarm.ā Victor, who was denied so many teen movie cliches growing up, is so ready.)
But! After the GPF, Yuuri gets a leading question from a reporter about JJ being overscored, and Yuuri comes back with a very genuine and diplomatic answer about how admirable JJās perseverance is. And heās really glad that JJ heard it and was encouraged, but. Heās not really sure how to tell JJ that he doesnāt need to keep giving him stress relief tips. Really. Itās fine.
āOh, Yuuri!ā JJ bellows across the hotel lobby the next time they see each other. āI have to send you this new article about reiki!ā
Victor leans close to Yuuri and whispers, āI can still pull the fire alarm.ā Ā
