TheGirlWhoRidesLikeASamuraiI wrote a blog post about how Yuuri's skating practice could look like. It's probably an unpopular/controversial opinion as it contradicts popular headcanons, but I hope it gives other YOI fans a realistic insight into his training:
Blog post from someone doing Japanese -> English translations that puts the interview with the #mappa CEO that caused an uproar in the YOI #fandom last week into the right context:

Rest assured, the interview wasn't meant to tell us fans that the movie is cancelled! Also please be careful which sources you trust!
As I decided that turning 41 isn't a reason to stop getting myself nice things, this Eros Yuuri moved officially in with me today. I will make sure Coach Viktor will follow soon to keep Yuuri from feeling lonely and being forced to put up with a notorious fangirl like me alone.

YOI meta: How episode 7 lays bare Viktor's strong compassion and his struggles with putting himself in someone else's shoes
Of all the events in episode 7, the kiss and the fight in the underground parking get most of the attention, but how often do we discuss the deep care Viktor exhibits for Yuuri in this episode and th…
I finished my current latest rewatch of YOI last night, and I'm still in awe of how episode 12 utilises the theme from the beach scene as Yuuri and Viktor lay bare their love by making each other stay in their mutual passion.

Gearing up for the final chapter of the YOI fanfic I started writing during my week off in an attempt to restore some of my faith in my writing. I hope I'll be able to bring it to a satisfying conclusion.
My writing buddy has already cuddled up on my lap for support, so let's go!

When fiction meets reality: Choreographer Kenji Miyamoto shares some hilarious details about irl figure skaters and his involvement in #YuriOnIce:
