hi i need approximately 3k words of content about yuuri being famous in the figure skating community for years as ‘that devastatingly beautiful skater from japan’ and having no idea
Oh hello I heard my siren call and it’s Yuuri Katsuki being beautiful 1. Yuuri Katsuki of Japan smiles exactly once at Skate America: when he’s on the podium, collecting his bronze. It’s a small, dubious little flick of his lips, like someone’s just complimented his outfit and he’s trying to decide whether or not they’re mocking him.
He spends the rest of the competition looking downcast, shoulders knitted together, biting his lip. Two commentators spend at least three minutes of airtime worrying that he’s been bullied.
“Entitlement,” diagnoses Commentator #3. Endemic among millennials, really. Dozens of competitors would kill to be in his skates, so can’t he at least pretend to be happy about it?
