"research"

Seen in Tokyo - fans spot iceskating sensations Victor Nikiforov and Yuri Katsuki.

commissioned art by @cryoclaire (creator, illustrator and co-writer of the webcomic Drugs and Wires) based off the following scene from my fanfic Bear Your Soul on the Ice.

“Yuuko wanted to know if you were naked and blamed it on the pregnancy hormones when Nishigori got all bent out of shape.  I told her you were probably wearing a swimsuit.”

“Nope!  I decided to do it naked!  In France there’s a copy where I’m getting out of the bath–”

Yuuri put his hands over Viktor’s mouth.  “Stop talking.  Please.”  He knew his face was beyond red.

Viktor just looked at him with an extra sparkle in his eye, but didn’t move.

“You know, I don’t even want to know.  Yuu-kun, the ice is ready.”  Alexei just looked at them. Yuuri knew that they had to look a sight, tangled up together on a couch, limbs akimbo with Yuuri pressed over Viktor and his hands covering Viktor’s mouth.  Yuuri groaned.

You are not getting pushback from the older segment of the queer community because you are young.

It’s because you came into the spaces we built for you and instantly tried to kick us out.

It’s because we opened the doors for you and you walked in and demanded that everyone you don’t like leave. You demanded that the kinksters, the crossdressers, the freaks and the weirdos, the non-binary trans folks, the people with conflicting identity labels, the people who apparently don’t enjoy their smut “the right way” leave.

It’s because you have thrown yourself into queer spaces with all the fucking audacity of a straight white woman raging at a rainbow flag in a grocery store, wailing about how it’s not appropriate for children.

It’s because you apparently think that you have some right to tell us, and other queer people your age, HOW to be queer.

It’s because a SCARY number of you think that using the word queer is bad in the first place.

It’s because so many of you have come here drowning in radfem rhetoric, and your response to being corrected is to scream “pedo!” At any queer peer who disagrees with your puritanical approach to kink and fantasy.

It’s because so many of you think that being LGBT+ means you can’t possibly hold onto the conservative values you grew up with, and when you’re called on it you attack anyone and everyone in your way.

Us queer elders aren’t hating on you because you’re young. It’s because you have come into the space we built- a space that we built on from what OUR queer elders built. Which was built on what THEIR queer elders built. And so on, all held up by a foundation of fucking blood of the queers who did not fucking survive, who we lost before I was born, and continue to be lost.
