HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY TO OTAYURI

Episode 10 aired one year ago today! Which means one year ago this ship was made!

(well I’m sure there were some people who shipped it before episode 10, but it’s been a year since they had their first scenes together)

Thanks to all the lovely shippers, artists, writers, gif makers and everyone in between who have made this ship and the fandom so great over the past year! We even made it to #8 on the top ships of Fandometrics for 2017, that’s a pretty awesome accomplishment. 

This ship has gotten some wonderful official art

It’s crazy to realize that it’s only been a year since Otayuri started. Here’s hoping for even more Otayuri in the future yoi movie!

Okay I was gonna wait for higher-quality versions of these but I’m too excited

Look at Yurio, genuinely smiling, happy to take a selfie with Otabek. Otabek looking at Yuri instead of the camera. Otabek doesn’t seem like one to like having his photo taken so maybe that’s why he’s not smiling for the picture, but he smiles at Yurio off-camera…

LOOK AT THEIR SOFT SMILES. THEIR GENTLE GAZES. THIS IS SO PRECIOUS?? Otabek and Yurio, shopping together and enjoying each other’s presence. They seem like they’re in their own little world (while Victor and Yuuri are in their own little world too hehe~) 

THIS IS JUST SO PURE

Whether you romantically ship it or just friendship it, you gotta admit, Otayuri is pretty damn cute

A post about child marriage in America: 120 notes

A post saying “I hope pedophiles die in a fire” and tagged with “anti Otayuri,” “anti Sheith” and several other fandom ships: 12,000 notes

Remember that next time anti-shippers tell you they just care about minors and want to protect them. They don’t give a damn about real life kids. They just use that as a front to be bullies in fandom. 

I can’t find the post anymore but I saved a screenshot a few months ago. It was at 16k notes actually. 

re: why Otayuri antis do the thing: I think it’s true they hate Otayuri because it’s the 2nd most popular ship and takes attention away from Victuuri. Watch the knots they tie themselves in to make Victor/Chris and Yuuri/Phichit problematic (Vichris is “homophobic,” Phichuuri is… racist???? and pedo because age gap), even if it’s set pre-canon and implies Victuuri will still happen. They can’t handle what they see as competition. Also many of them HATE Yurio and don’t want him to be happy.

discoursecatharsis:

Yep they pretty much just need to chill and realize that someone else shipping another ship or liking another character doesn’t take away from Victuri

So true.

To the point of “they are yurios parents!” God i hate that fandom hc…
