A Book Junkies Cove

This is intended to be a place to express my thoughts on what I am currently reading, but it'll probably have personal tidbits as well, cause its not like anyone will read this, but if you invisible people become real, then- "Welcome!"

GOD I want a fic that's just post-outing Svetlana finallyyyy being free to release the tapes of Ilya Rozanov TORMENTING her with his dumbass pining for Shane

It's like a bunch of screenshots and pics gathered from over the last Literal Decade, perfectly capturing just how whipped Ilya was from day fucking one and how much he made it Svetlanas problem.

She captions it something like "So happy for my best friend and his better half. Even happier that said best friend can now tell other people about how many freckles are on Shane Hollanders' entire body, or what his least favourite sheet texture is because that's really none of my business but I have been forced to know <3"

it goes so viral that she basically earns an unofficial internet knighthood

laughing about the idea of rose giving shane a weighted blanket as a gift and it soon becoming ilya's Number One Enemy in their house

at first it was just because it was a gift from rose, but now??? shane is cuddling up under The Mistress? ("ilya, it is a fucking blanket-") shane does not need to ask ilya to lay on top of him because he would rather be beneath The Mistress? ("ilya, for FUCK'S sake, you weren't even home-") maybe shane doesn't even need him anymore. maybe The Mistress can learn to suck his co- ("i'm going to bed. you can join me or you can keep glaring at a FUCKING BLANKET")

[penandinkprincess]

i feel like rose probably went for the heaviest option available, so like a 40 pounder, so it does have some good heft to it

and i'm cackling about this arrangement being referred to as a threesome as a joke, which is all well and good until someone is reading over ilya's shoulder one day and sees shane send the message, "today has fucking sucked. can we have a threesome when you get home, please?" and is just ???? hello???? what?? the fuck??? are y'all just out here casually having threesomes on a tuesday??? that hollander asks for wiTH A PLEASE??? WHO IS INVOLVED ONTHIS THREESOME FOR IT TO BE HAPPENING ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE????

[penandinkprincess]

not helping this is that ilya responds with, "yes of course ♥️. do you think your mistress can take care of you in the meantime? just this once she can have you to herself."

and what he's doing is just teasing shane to lighten the mood, but person at the coffee shop behind him in line is just

[penandinkprincess]

this escalates to the point that shane really has no other option than to post some kind of statement about it being an inside joke, and ilya of course has to be a little shit about it and post a response on twitter or whatever about, "oh, you will not tell them you are snuggling with your mistress right now, hollander? you will break my heart but not admit it to the world?" and so shane posts another picture that's just a pov from his place on the couch with the weighted blanket over his legs and ilya on the other end grinning SO WIDE because he's SO pleased with himself. and the caption is something like "pictured: my "mistress" and my soon-to-be-ex-husband." and ilya thinks it's SO fucking funny because yes! vindication! let the world pity him (even if playfully).

and this then backfires on him SO FAST.

now weighted blanket brands are sending shane pr trying to get him to mention them/show them off in a picture, and ilya is now fucking SURROUNDED by mistresses all competing for his husband's attention. BULLSHIT. HOW HAS THIS HAPPENED.

weighted blanket eleven comes in the mail and ilya goes live on instagram just FURIOUS. the frame is him in front of a PILE of weighted blankets and he is just

"enough! enough of this! are too many in our house. is like being fucking-shane, what is word? people in utah, they have many wives?"

shane in the background, not fully paying attention: "mormons?"

"those! we are not mormons! household is FULL. marriage is FULL. stop this! every single day i look and there are more enemies in this house."

"every single day i look and there are more enemies in this house" goes viral as a sound for people surrounded by clutter/pets/etc.

shane receives five more weighted blankets.

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

[jaymanclayton]

As much as David loves Yuna and Shane, you just know some days he's just happy to have Ilya, who is emotionally intelligent and has a great sense of humour and some balance in his approach to hockey.

They exchange looks often, "you're hearing what I'm hearing?" and they probably cook together too.

[peterpanandtheirlostgirls]

this is amazing you have passed peer review

[beardedmrbean]

[miscelium]

like sure they're not having sit down formal discussions about limits and safewords. shane would rather die than admit he has wants and needs; ilya makes everything into a joke or a game ("let's make a deal") to lessen the threat of rejection. but they've spent their entire adult lives studying each other's physicality on the ice ("you're an awesome player to watch"), competing against each other, having sex together, paying close attention, cataloguing physical tells, weaknesses, erogenous zones, preferences ("ginger ale cold enough?" + "i bought you cokes"). they've unintentionally become the world's leading experts in each other's bodies. "i think i know how the staff likes to be treated after all these years" ....yeah, yeah they do. how am i supposed to ever be Normal About Them

#maybe the real romantic fantasy is that you can have the rewards of being loved without submitting to the mortifying ordeal of being known#or that the being known can be so incremental you're like a frog in boiling water and having life changing orgasms the whole time#also consider: love is the quality of attention we pay to things

^^^ the original tags, as i once again think about shane "this is such a bad idea" and "no we can't we have a game tomorrow" and "nooo ilya don't suck my dick while i'm on the phone with hayden unrelatedly i'm going to move so my dick is more accessible. for no reason" and how he montesorri bdsm spontaneously reinvents free use and cnc out of his own beautiful mind

@ticklefighthockey: unvoiced longing to cede control to an aggressor-savior who in enacting his depraved sexual desires upon your passive body fulfills your deepest most monstrous needs while ensuring you are never forced to acknowledge those needs out loud.

how can i get what i want without admitting i want it. if i don't admit i want it, it's ok if i don't get it. it's ok if i don't get it, because no one can know i want it. @lesbianhallieparker: if you want-want what you want-want, then you want it, you can't hide what you desire once you're on it!!

and ilya thrives on paying attention to shane's desires, figuring him out, pushing him, embarrassing him, winding him up until he asks (begs) for what he wants. being curious about shane is slow puzzle feeder enrichment time for him (see: two years of sexting, vegas bathroom scene, "you know" "tell me" "you. i need you")

Imagine being Alfred during Batman Begins when Bruce leaves to “find himself.” Alfred is worried, but reminds himself that all rich men do this and he’s probably just going to come back as a worldly, obnoxious vegetarian. Then Bruce shows up several years later buff as hell and it’s like no, he’s a ninja. he’s a ninja and he wants to terrorize Gotham in a bat costume.

Rearrangement Time!

So I got home after a very successful first year of college and was bored out of my wits. Going from the breakneck pace of finals to having no responsibilities (my job didn’t start for another two weeks) I needed something to do. In a typical bookworm fashion I decided that my bookshelves needed to be reorganized and updated. I also found that there were a lot of books that did not yet have a shelf to sit on. One of my friends counted the books I accumulated in my dorm room, a total of 48, and I was only able to bring a few home with me sadly.  So not counting the fifty or so books that I now have else where it turns out that I own 493 physical books in my room. I know I read a lot but wow that is a huge number. I ended up organizing by category: Arthurian mythology, dragons, magic, cutesy romance, favorite series, Tamora Pierce, ect. It took me a couple of days to get it all to my liking, and I now know for sure that I need another bookcase, but I’m content. Let your library's grow Invisible people!
