Yuri & Flynn: Two Sides of the Same Coin

[rumynoir]

I feel like I’ve been in this fandom long enough to see various opinions on the whole Flynn + Yuri relationship. You have the fans who adore it and just like them as fluffy as kittens, then you have people who want to see them butting heads 24/7. If you wanna go even further, you have the ones that absolutely abhor the ship and wish Flynn would break his fucking leg or something.

I’m a very “let ship and ship” type of person. If you don’t like Fluri, then that’s absolutely fine - what do I care? There’s a certain canon “Tales” pairing that I’m certainly not fond of myself.

What does have me rolling my eyes though, are the ones who claim Flynn and Yuri were never friends. That Flynn and Yuri hate each other. That Flynn and Yuri don’t understand each other. That Flynn and Yuri are happier when they’re over 9,000 feet away from each other.

Again: Opinions are opinions. But there’s this one scene I stumbled upon on NG+ that reminded me that FlynnYuri goes deeper than just “rivals” and “butting heads.”
