Me: Yuuri is so smart and graduated from college while competing internationally

Dark Me: What if Yuuri is a Dumb Jock™

Good luck, if you have exams coming up. In the end grades mean nothing as to your true worth but may you pass so you can get out of there.

Jeffrey Buttle might be involved in choreographing for the YOI movie?? 

(along with Kenji Miyamoto of course) 

Jeffrey tweeted:  Shooting a movie on the ice tonight in 🗾.  Lobby call was at 19:30 and my drop off time is 29:50 aka 6am.  #needmorecoffee

According to twitter user kobutane1129: Tonight Jeff Buttle was recording from 7:30 pm to 6:00 am in the morning at the Chiba Aquarink, which they chartered for use that night. They were filming choreography for two dimensional characters. 

Kenji was reported to have been filmed working on YOI at the same rink recently. 

For reference, Kenji Miyamoto’s choreography for the original anime was filmed in early spring (March-April) of 2016, and the show itself premiered in October 2016. Judging by that, we’re probably looking at a release date of this coming winter, but it could be longer because film animation is more time consuming (and unlike tv animation, which is done episode by episode, it has to be entirely complete upon release). 

i did a practice otabek on my ipad to try and get more comfortable with using it 

Good Morning

The sun was only starting to rise in the early morning when the alarm went off. ‘Ah, is it 6 AM already?’ Otabek opened his eyes only to be immediately faced with the softness of something grey. ‘Oh, right. I let her in last night.’ He thought, rubbing off the sleep from his eyes. “Good morning, Сұр,” He began to gently stroke the ball of fur that was sleeping beside him. “Did you have fun disturbing me last night?”

Сұр is a grey tabby cat that often roams inside the apartment building he lives in. Yes, Otabek Altin, the leather-jacket-wearing and motorbike-riding badass named the cat ‘grey’. Unoriginal, he knows that all too well. But then again, the cat wasn’t his to name. Сұр is a stray cat that Otabek had a habit of bringing her to his apartment for some much needed company whenever she was around or was friendly enough to be persuaded to come with him. Last night was one of his lucky days.

Otabek dragged himself out of bed as slowly as possible, trying not to make the bed move too much in fear of waking the sleeping cat up. He had several hours to spare. His earliest class has always started at 10 AM and it only takes 30 minutes of walking from his place to the university he’s studying at. Not to mention he has a motorcycle so it only takes him 15 minutes max. Otabek decided then to have breakfast at a small café besides his campus. He grabbed his phone from the nightstand and headed to the kitchen to get some water. It’d become a routine to have a glass of water after waking up, something he had taken after his mother.

Unlocking his phone, Otabek started going through all the messages he got. Over 200 notifications on WhatsApp, a rare occurrence  for him. Judging by the amount of messages, the only explanation he could think of was that it’s another one of JJ and Leo’s pointless arguments in the Music Trio group chat. He quickly scrolled through the chat whilst drinking his water, laughing occasionally at how unreasonable both of his friends were. Once he’s done, he typed a few replies to some of the other messages he got and shot a quick ‘good morning’ text to Yuri, then set his phone aside.

Otabek had almost finished his water when he heard a thud coming from his bedroom. Expecting Сұр to come out soon, he took out a bowl and filled it with milk. Soon enough, the cat was poking her head inside the kitchen. Otabek set down the bowl in front of her, watching as she lapped it up happily. He smiled and kissed the top of Сұр’s head, then left the cat to enjoy her milk and opened his front door so she could head out when she’s done. He then headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

That day’s weather was Otabek’s favorite. Just enough clouds to cover the sun, yet still pleasantly bright and warm. The air was crisp with the smell of last night’s rain. ‘It looks like it might rain again today.’ He thought as he was riding on his bike. ‘Ah, damn. I forgot my umbrella.’ He cursed silently. He hoped he could arrive at campus before it rained, or at least the café.

Otabek finally arrived at the café. Still no sign of rain, although the sky was slowly turning darker. He went straight to the counter to be greeted by his friend, Dastan. “Ah, Beka! The usual?” Dastan asked with his boisterous voice, as lively as always.

“Yeah, I’ll have the usual. Thanks, Tan.” Otabek answered with a smile while heading to his usual seat. Knowing his order would take a while, he decided to keep himself busy with his phone. He checked the time, 7.02 AM was displayed, he still had a lot of time.

This café was a place he frequented to. Dastan’s parents were the owner and they treated Otabek as if he’s their own son. He had been friends with Dastan since they were little, before he had started his skating career. They’re both now studying at Kazakh Academy. At times like this when Otabek decided to stop by, Dastan would ask for a ride to campus since they mostly shared the same classes.

After 10 minutes of waiting, Otabek’s order finally came. His usual consisting in a cup of Café Mocha, a cinnamon bun, and a glass of water to wash all of it down. Dastan casually joined him, taking the seat in front of him, and they fell into their routine. Dastan started chattering about whatever happened to him in the time Otabek wasn’t around. Which, in this case, was not even nearly 12 hours ago. Otabek was content with just listening to Dastan while enjoying his food, only speaking up when necessary or if he felt like commenting on something. It had always been like that between them, and Otabek wouldn’t have it any other way.

By the time they finished everything, it was already 9:16 AM. Time sure flies when one is enjoying oneself. Otabek headed to the counter to pay for his orders while Dastan cleaned up after them. After everything was taken care of, they went outside to where Otabek had parked his bike. The soft rumbling of thunder could be heard from the distance, which was a sign for them to hurry, unless they wanted to end up showing up to the lecture soaking wet. So Otabek gave Dastan his spare helmet he always had with him, hopped on his bike, and drove as fast as it was legally allowed... and then some.

Otabek: Can you imagine not being human and just living out your days as a weeping willow, though? beautiful? by the water? unburdened? ideal?

Yuri: I wanna be the one from Harry Potter that beats the shit out of everyone and everything

Language Headcanon

Otabek speaks three languages fluently: English, Russian and Kazakh.

Just like Denis Ten (the skater Kubo-sensei based him on), Otabek goes to Kazakh Academy of Sports and Tourism. He's in the Faculty of Olympic Sports, pursuing an education to be a sports psychologist.

The Life of Otabek Altin

This is a completely biased view of Otabek Altin’s life from a 19 year old individual. I wrote this half a year ago with the help of many people’s input while still trying to remain as canon as possible about his past (except for the family part). This is going to be a long post.

Otabek Altin, age 19, born in Kazakhstan on October 31st 1998. He’s the eldest brother of 4 siblings, with 2 sisters (Malika/21 and Danira/17) and 1 brother (Serik/15). His family lives in a village called Kegen, near Almaty, and owns a café called ‘The Golden Mug’ (yes, it’s a pun because altin = gold) and sometimes the children help out too (Otabek enjoys being a barista). He first skated at the age of 5 and fell in love ever since. His sisters, Malika and Danira, play sports too. Malika being miraculously the tallest, enjoys playing volleyball and basketball and Danira is a dancer. His brother Serik however, is unable to play any sport no matter how much he wants to because of a certain health issue. The year he fell in love with skating, he also fell in love with music. He’s musically gifted in singing, he has a really nice voice. He also learned guitar and piano. From that moment on, his love for both things only grows. He learned how to ride a motorcycle from his dad a little before he turned 16 when he came home during the off season (2014).

14/3/18 UPDATE & TRIVIA

UPDATE: The admins of Otabek and Yuuri swapped - meaning Otabek is now back to his original age. Viktuuri are still planning a wedding regardless. As Yuuri and Otabek have now swapped, there is an idea for JJBek - meaning we are currently looking for a JJ for our Otabek.

TRIVIA: There’s a server-wide headcanon that Viktor was depressed prior to meeting Yuuri, and had some sort of a fling with Chris while they were younger. 

We use a google form as a joining process - it’s basically the easiest way to find members that we could think of.

If you’re set on wanting to join, just fill this out. The mods will review your response as soon as it’s received and you’ll be contacted.

Nudge, we accept almost every new application. So don’t feel pressured.

However, for general comfort reasons, we have a few guidelines.

The minimum age for the server members is 15. Mainly because as the rules stated, things can get NSFW, and while some 15 year olds read smut fics online, it’s only decent of us to protect the most innocent of folks.

The server is a positive place for the most part, so if you identify as a ball of angst, we kindly ask you to reconsider. For general comfort.

Bonus points if you have earlier experience with RP and/or creative writing, even more bonus points if you have earlier experience with Discord.

To my fellow YOI enthusiast

Hey people! So to make it short, my friends and I have a roleplay group on discord. Yuri on Ice roleplay group. Currently we only have a few members and we’re in need for more! If you’re interested, you can message me, @lluc1fer for more info. If you’ve made up your mind to join, you can just go straight to filling out this form and one of the mods will eventually contact you and invite you to the server. The form is only intended to gather some data, it’s no big deal really. We take in most of our applicants if I’m being honest.

Some things to keep in mind before applying for the server; you need to be AT LEAST 15. So as long as you’re 15 or above, you’re good to go. Personally, I’d like people who are not in America’s timezone because I’m 12 hours ahead and I can’t possibly stay up all night everyday to keep up with the RP. BUT that doesn’t mean we’ll immediately decline your application if you’re American, no need to worry, you won’t be rejected right away.

Also some guidelines: We aim to keep the server a positive place, so no angst. We also aim to keep the server comfortable, so don’t cause problems and/or petty drama on purpose. Please please stay in character and be as realistic as possible. And last, slightly altering the character is allowed (for example small age changes, hobbies, etc.)

For now the taken characters are Yuuri, Viktor, Yuri, Otabek, Phichit, Seung-gil, and also Vitaliy, Viktor’s twin brother who’s a hockey player, an OC by Cassy (Twitter | IG). I’ll keep updating on the list of taken characters, so make sure you keep an eye on the latest version of this post!  Again, if you have any question at all, please message me or my friends I’ve listed above. We’d really love you to join our family 💕

Kazakhstans dark horse - Otabek Altin

👍🏼

It’s been long since I posted some Otabae spam. I am back.

Davai 👍🏼

Otabek really wished he could stay. He would stay with Yuri forever if the circumstances allowed him. Without a second thought. Without a doubt.

So that’s the last part of this series supposedly for Yuri’s birthday. I hope you guys enjoy it! And as always, thank you so much to @yuri-plisetsky01 for helping me with this. Thank you for still willing to be my Yuri up until now. You’re seriously irreplaceable.

Anyway, I would really love to know your opinion on this! So if you have any feedback or even request for the otayuri fake texts, feel free to drop an ask! I will certainly appreciate them.

Part: 1 | 2 | 3

Apologies

I AM SO SORRY that I couldn’t post part 3 yesterday. I was knocked out because I was sick. I’ll post it today though! Make sure you’re ready 😁
