Euden: I literally saw you die. You died. You were dead.

ALRIGHT well here we go then

Yuri [Patronymic unknown] Plisetsky is the best character in YOI because of the HUGE change he goes through from episode 1 to episode 12

He starts out as an antagonistic little shit and end up as the most sympathetic character, in my opinion. 

Here’s the basic facts. He’s been supporting his whole family since he was a rookie. You can enter Juniors at 13 and he’s shown in the ballet studio at 10 so at 10 years old, possibly earlier, his whole family depends on his winnings and grants from the Kremlin. It’s not stated outright how big his family is BUT we know it’s at least his grandpa and his mom so he, at TEN YEARS OLD, is paying for himself and two adults at minimum.

He also has no friends. Mila is the closest to his age of all the senior skaters and she’s still three years older than him and treats him like a little brother, not an equal

He’s talented but also a super hard worker? You don’t get that good with just talent or the talent of those around you. You can’t just say “I’m going to surpass Viktor Nikiforov” and sit around and do it, you have to train harder than anyone in the world. And he DOES beat Viktor in the end! He takes his record at FIFTEEN! 

Obviously he has a huge attitude but this is CLEARLY a front based on the scene where he opens up to give Katsuki the birthday piroshki AND the flashback in episode 12 where he admits he thinks Katsuki is a talented skater during the Sochi GPF.

And then! he goes and kicks down Katsuki’s stall because he doesn’t fucking understand social interaction because literally his whole life has been skating! It’s never shown that he goes to school and a lot of young russian athletes have tutors and don’t attend regular school. There are literally “sports schools” in Russia where athletes practically live.

He’s so angry and frustrated but there’s a lot of deep hurt in Yuri, I think, because he’s had such a difficult life. On his shoulders rests the legend of Viktor Nikiforov, who he respected enough to ask for choreography from and then!!! Yuri was abandoned by him!! Viktor was like, yeah kid you’re good and I respect you and I’ll give you debut choreo and then he just leaves to go to Japan!! Fuck you, Yuri, you’re being abandoned again!!!

Otabek is the only person (outside of Yakov, Lilia, and Nikolai) that seems to see him for who he is (a determined hard worker, saying he had the eyes of a soldier) and not just a punk kid with a potty mouth and a love of cats. 

Honestly i first thought “ooo they have a gf where are the deets” before I looked to see the post below and realized you meant The Sun
