I haven't written anything in weeks and I really hoped I'd manage to pick it up again today, but instead I spent hours reading fans' reactions to the latest Yuri!!! on Ice episode with a huge smile on my face. I don't even watch the show! I watched I think three episodes total and concluded that while it's cute, the skating is very pretty, and the opening song catchy, it hits my embarrassment squick too often for me to truly enjoy it. (How sensitive I am about that tends to come in phases, so maybe I'll try again in a few months.) I vaguely followed what was happening via reactions and Tumblr gifs, just enough to appreciate the newest plot twist. Not as much as the fans though. They're so happy! This is the best. The last time I saw an entire fandom be so happy about something… maybe YoI fans after episode 7, or Young Justice fans when season 3 was confirmed, and definitely Pens fandom after the Cup win in June, but it's a rare and beautiful thing. I'm not in the fandom but this cheers me up.

Ffff. I'm glad you're finding it nice, rather than obnoxious. :'D I expect this fandom is going to be pretty for a while.

re: embarrassment squick, it hits mine too (with regard to a lot of the humour) BUT I found that the degree of that stuff got toned down a bit as the story progressed. So maybe if/when you give it another try later on, it won't be so cringe-y.

YOI fandom really is a very happy-making, life-affirming experience. SO MUCH EXCITEMENT.

Lol yeah, we all kept thinking "they're never gonna go THERE" and then they went further. XD
