So I just went with my buddy while he got a rib tattoo, and they hurt like a lot, so heâs over there grimacing and being a huge manbaby so I just reach over and grab his hand so he can squeeze it because Iâm a good person who helps others
And heâs clinging to my hand like itâs a life preserver and Iâm being me and talking about nonsense like Grimace from the McDonalds commercials and how R2D2 is always ready to throw hands, and whatever, and the artist keeps glancing over at me and Iâm like do your tattoo bro Iâve got my buddy handled
But then I realize heâs like, looking over because he canât tell if heâs seeing something or not, and I glance down and I see my rainbow scalemail bracelet, and how Iâm talking to my buddy all fondly and Iâm like stroking his arm like heâs a wounded animal, and right as it clicks in my head the tattoo artist asks in his most nonchalant voice possible, like intentionally bland, Iâm just talking about the weather haha what do you mean voice:
âSo, are you guys close?â
And my gay ass is over to the side internally screaming because yeah, I am gay, but like this is just me being a good bro and my buddy is COMPLETELY OBLVIOUS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE HEâS A GARBAGE STRAIGHT PERSON AND HE SAYS
âYeah of course, thatâs why I asked him to comeâ
SO NOW THE TATTOO ARTIST THINKS HEâS RIGHT AND HE HAS A GAY COUPLE GETTING A TATTOO AND MY BUDDY HAS NO IDEA AND IâM AWKWARDLY SITTING HERE LIKE SHOULD I STOP HOLDING HIS HAND??? SHOULD I CORRECT THIS TATTOO ARTIST??? SHOULD I LET MY BUDDY KNOW??? MY GAY ASS DOESNâT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE BEING INCORRECTLY ACCUSED OF BEING GAY, WHAT DO YOU DO
So that tattoo artist is like âCool man, thatâs great. Good for you.â
So then my buddy is like can I get some water, and the guy comes back with one bottle of water and my buddy takes a drink and then hands it to me, and Iâm like obviously he has to lay down and needs me to hold his water so I just hold it in my hand, but turns out he was offering me water, so he turns to me and is like Colton, drink some water, and I take a drink and my garbage lizard brain is like âYouâre drink sharing in front of the tattoo artist, now he KNOWS heâs rightâ
So weâre talking about tattoos with the artist and I mention that Iâm getting a tattoo in September and my buddy is like âYeah Iâm gonna go and hold HIS hand for that one hahaâ and the tattoo artist FUCKING SAYS âI mean, I should hope soâ
I MEAN, I SHOULD HOPE SO
I MEAN, I SHOULD HOPE SO
AND NO ONE ACTUALLY BROUGHT IT UP. I KNEW WHAT THE TATTOO ARTIST WAS THINKING BUT DIDNâT SAY ANYTHING TO CORRECT HIM. NOW WHEN MY BUDDY GOES BACK AND GETS HIS NEXT TATTOO IN THE FUTURE AND IâM NOT THERE HEâS GOING TO GOÂ âOH WHEREâS YOUR BOYFRIENDâ
âMY GAY ASS DOESNâT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE BEING INCORRECTLY ACCUSED OF BEING GAY, WHAT DO YOU DOâ yup straight people would never understand the pain of explaining that youâre not being gay but youâre gay
...This is like a Tumblr thread in video format
red herring much?

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isnât safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.
An occupational hazard of cab driving I had not previously considered
I love that the nola problem here is not âghosts in my taxi cab,â but âghosts are FUCKING BROKE DEAD BASTARDS & I GOT BILLSâ
Horror is when ghosts get into cabs and scare drivers Magical realism is when cab companies have to develop policies to prevent ghastly fare-theft
In a book about the tsunami in Japan in 2011, the writer talked about how there was a huge increase in reports of ghostly activity. Apparently in Japan treating ghosts rudely is basically considered the stupidest thing you could possibly do. For months after the tsunami, taxi drivers would pick up a passenger only to have them give an address in one of the devastated areas. The cab driver often looked up halfway to the destination to find their fare had disappeared. Not wanting to be impolite to the person (even if they were dead) theyâd drive to the address, open the door to let them out, then drive away.
this is my favourite post of the year so far
i really think they look like Otabek and Yurio
Small, slightly obscure, but really cool thing that happens in episode 1 of Yuri!!! On Ice that I donât think a lot of people caught:
The snow.
They probably werenât watching the weather forecast there in the first two shots, they were watching the news. This cold front came literally out of nowhere, as, like the announcer says, it was supposed to be a perfect day for hanami, ergo going for a picnic to watch the cherry blossoms. But instead, lots of snow.
Now, for those of you who live in colder areas, like myself, you probably just went âwell, unseasonal snow happens sometimes, I remember once we had snow in mid-May.â
For those of you who live in warmer areas, you probably went âidk how snow works, so I guess that sounds legit???â
No.
Snow in April on fucking Kyushu is beyond ridiculous, okay. They barely even get snow in the actual winter months. This is happening on April 11th - or even later - and they should be having temperatures in the 15-20°C/60-68°F range - or maybe even higher. And they probably were, before this. Thatâs why Yuuriâs so surprised and confused.
So why would they even bother including this?
Victor. Itâs all about Victor.
In part, I suspect itâs a literary/poetry reference, even if I canât quite place it, because âhe came from the north, bringing ice and snowâ is something of a universal literary image.
But mostly, itâs because, in Japanese, when someone does something highly unexpected and uncharacteristic, like, say, me cleaning my room, you express your surprise by saying âwow, does this mean itâs gonna snow tomorrow?â
And it didnât just snow. It snowed a lot. Itâs a reference to how ridiculously unexpected it is for Victor to wanna coach instead of skating himself, for him to show up in Japan out of the blue.
Do Japanese people understand the meaning of soulmates? Because I saw some tweets and people were confused and even disappointed. Like wtf? Anyway can you please write your own understanding of being soulmates?
Iâm probably not the most qualified to answer this, so maybe @fencer-x wouldnât mind chiming in a bit? But from what I know and have seen it looks like the concept of soulmates in Japan isnât that different from the West. I donât really feel comfortable getting into how extensive the Japanese understanding of soulmate is.
For what itâs worth, I have seen zero negative response on my TL. So, Iâm not sure where those people are coming from.
As for me, personally? I feel fandom, as a general whole, not just any specific fandom, has sort of taken the idea of soul mate and made it something concretely romantic. However, the concept is that of someone who perfectly completes you, is your other half, and while that often has a romantic end, itâs not in the definition. A soul mate can be a romantic partner, most often the concept is used romantically, but it can also be a best friend.
Have you ever heard the Whatâs A Soulmate? audio? Thatâs basically my perfect definition of a soulmate.
As for Kuboâs use of soulmate and it being related to the rings Yuuri and Victor exchanged, thatâs a pretty heavy romantic implication. The ring exchange scene itself is already clearly romantic and to try and say itâs just friendly is pretty ignorant, imo, especially with the knowledge that there is no discrimination of love in the YOI world. To say, on top of that, that those rings are a symbol that Yuuri and Victor are soulmates? Thatâs the romantic concept. Flat out. They are two pieces of one whole, souls meant for each other, a perfect union.
Yup, all of this.
Fandom seems to have a real problem understanding the concept of love in Yuri!!! on Ice, so itâs little wonder some seem to have a problem understanding the concept of soulmates, as itâs understood by both Japanese and westerners. Because thereâs no difference. Really thereâs not. Itâs just, as Ally says above, that fandom has diluted the meaning of âsoulmateâ down to a WHOLLY romantic meaning, not understanding that itâs everything.
Itâs love, in all its formsâand yes, i
ncluding romanticâitâs destiny, itâs a bond, itâs being meant to be with this person. Being completed.
Itâs much like ć in Japanese, their word for love; they have a separate word for simply romantic love (ć), but ć encompasses everything, whole kind of loveâromantic and bone-deep and cherishing and fawning and unselfish and selfish and everything in between. Thereâs a WORLD of difference between âsuki daâ and âaishiteruâ for âI love youââthe former is rattled off easily and spans the length and breadth of like/love. You can use it to describe how you feel about corn, you can use it to describe how you feel about your wife. But aishiteru? Almost no one says it, because itâs just so HEAVY. Thereâs even a whole day dedicated to husbands going out in public and shouting it for their wives to hear, to kind of encourage men to be more open about their feelings and to also just express their love in its most concentrated form.
And thatâs what a soulmate isâa true mate of your soul. A friend, a companion, a partner. A lover, yes, but so much more than that.
If you think having all of this love inside that word dilutes the meaning of the romantic component, then I feel very sad for you, because it means that you think romantic love is weakened by being coupled with affection and genuine LIKING someone and caring for someoneâs happiness. As if platonic and romantic love cannot coexist.
More to the point, if you still need Yuuri and Victorâs romantic feelings spelled out for you? Well thereâs no helping you. Kubo-sensei has gone on record as finding it amusing that western fans have to ask her what happened in episode 7. You make her laugh by not being able to figure it out. Yuuri said that he wanted the theme of his skating season to be ć, and that means EVERYTHING involving love. It means Erosâwhich was initially a foreign concept to Yuuri, having to think of something that drives him wild because he had no real experience with sexual feelings (consciously at least) to fall back on. But by episode 11, heâs thrown Victor kisses and kissed their exchanged rings as a link back to Victorâa symbol so that Yuuri didnât have to waste his focus distracted by not understanding what their relationship was.
If it was meant to be that confusing or ambiguous, then the point of the rings would be lost :P
Iâm not sure where these ânegative tweetsâ are that the asker mentions; every Japanese person on my feed is thrilled, noting that their being âsoulmatesâ makes perfect sense.
The entire story of YOI is all about love and all its forms, and how all of those forms are just part of a greater whole. Itâs why Yuuri just wants Victor to stay Victor, because becoming any ONE thing seems to sideline all of the other things. Even a lover, a ćäşş in Japanese, is literally someone you share ć withâbut Yuuri doesnât want just romantic passion. He wants a partner and companion and someone he can fight with and someone he can eat katsudon with.
So stop getting so hung up on whether or not there are outright, set-in-stone-references to them having sex or kissing each other to get hot and bothered or whatever else you need in order to validate them as a couple. That is all kinds of wrong, requiring people show you that they want to touch each otherâs private bits before youâll believe that theyâre REALLY âin loveâ, when the entire show has been about showing you that love is love is love, and that no one should be looked down on for who or how they choose to show that love.
Repeating this for the people in the back:Â That is all kinds of wrong, requiring people show you that they want to touch each otherâs private bits before youâll believe that theyâre REALLY âin loveâ, when the entire show has been about showing you that love is love is love, and that no one should be looked down on for who or how they choose to show that love.
