mappa being like “oh yuri on ice just wasn’t profitable” OLYMPIC ATHLETES WATCHED YOUR FUCKING SHOW, MAPPA. OLYMPIC!!! ATHLETES!!! OLYMPIC SKATERS HAVE GIVEN TRIBUTE TO THIS SERIES!!!! MAPPA WHAT THE FUCK
On some level I feel silly for being so devastated by Ice Adolescence’s cancellation, what with the world a literal dumpster fire. But Yuri on Ice meant so much to so many. Representation. Beauty. Escape. Overcoming our image of ourselves. Love in its multiple forms.
And I think my partner said it best after watching YOI for the first time-
BenRookKai napping in the grass + a small shipping chart with my headcanons of the Ben 10K timeline.
I think Rook would join their relationship a bit later after Kai and Ben open up their marriage after the time war (if we follow canon standards) (but if it was up to me, these three would be part of their own policule waaaay before Kenny even existed lmao)
