hi!! I'm looking for a fic I lost where shane and ilya do an interview and thats pretty much all I can remember 😭 I think it was mostly about them being married post outing and all but thats petty much it 😭

thank you for your help!!!

UPDATE: Fic Added ⬇️

I Laugh Like Me Again

Shane and Ilya do a sports podcast run by lesbians for members of the LGBTQ+ community, and the internet reacts.

Yikes. There are so many fics about married hollanov doing an interview. Do you have anything else specific that would set this fic apart from others and could help with the search? Ill see what I can find, but I'll only list a few because there are so many out there.

The Long Awaited Tell-All. 

After a year of marriage, and at the end of Shane's first season with the Centaurs, Ilya and Shane decide to tell their story on their terms.

Fourth Year Interview 

Shane and Ilya do their yearly interview as husbands on the Ottawa Centaurs

Media Availability 

Shane agrees to one post-game interview with Ilya. Ilya is determined to make sure everyone knows how brilliant, beautiful, and perfect his husband is.

Okay so I have Bird Thoughts(TM) the blue and gold I work (for) with loves to just???? Lick you???? like a freak and also will preen your leg hair (again like a freak) so imagine if you will, Ilya meeting Miko and Miko deciding both that she likes him and immediately starts trying to preen his leg hair, much to his utter bafflement and mild horror

GOD combining this with shane coming out getting disrupted by miko going, "SHANE! SHANE! SHANE! SHANE!" until he picks her up, i'm fucking CACKLING imagining them sitting down to talk it out, and ilya is trying SO HARD to be a good, supportive boyfriend.

but also?? they sit down at the table?? and miko climbs down off of shane's shoulder and tap tap taps her way over to ilya on the table?? and starts??? licking his arms and hands???? he doesn't want to be rude here but WHAT is this fucking bird doing??? and then he holds still while she uses him like a jungle gym to climb down??? and okay at least she isn't just licking him anymore?? but then she starts??? preening his leg hair???? and he has to just NOT react????

he's trying SO hard to be supportive and present and make sure shane is okay, but this bird is NOT making it easier. shane is having a stressful day, but ilya is just having a fucking WEIRD day.

[penandinkprincess]

i am laughing about the first time ilya gets tricked into taking over for a game of "catch me" at a pool with the pike kids because hayden and shane both had the background experience to stay REAL quiet when that game started up.

because i feel like the "jumping into a pool for an adult to catch you" is a game you only play with like. A Trusted Known Family Friend Adult. so i feel like ilya tragically doesn't have the background to understand that heeding the "uncle ilya! catch me!" one time means that is now. how his day is going to go. there are four of them and they are lining up to take turns. ilya does NOT get a break. he is catching kids and then moving them back to climb back out and then getting ready to catch the next one.

man is a professional athlete and yet still??? wakes up the next day??? SORE????

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time

One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

[phrenic-a]

Every molecular biology and genetics class I have ever taken uses Huntington’s to demonstrate the tragedy and heartbreak genetic disorders can inflict on peoples lives. This is truly an amazing feat.

this is from "research as a leisure activity" by celine nguyen, publs. on stubstack in 2024. it's a very good read

[copperbadge]

I met someone when I was pretty young who had received a generous inheritance -- not enough to live a life of luxury, but enough to live on comfortably without working. He had chosen to simply keep going to school his whole life. He did get degrees, but he didn't use them for anything other than pleasure -- he had a Ph.D but also two Master's degrees, three BAs, and was currently serving an apprenticeship in blacksmithing while considering trying out some trade schools next. I thought, if I had the money I'd do that too, and then thought about how I still could learn all the time, it would just have to be a hobby instead of the career he'd made of it. It definitely changed the way I saw both education and leisure.

TIL a family in Georgia claimed to have passed down a song in an unknown language from the time of their enslavement; scientists identified the song as a genuine West African funeral song in the Mende language that had survived multiple transmissions from mother to daughter over multiple centuries (x)

[ancestralia]

In 1997 Amelia’s daughter, Mary Moran, and other members of the Moran family were invited to Sierra Leone, West Africa, where they were welcomed in Freetown by Sierra Leone’s President and then flown by helicopter to the country’s interior.  There, in the small village of Senehun Ngola, Mary and Bendu Jabati met and sang this song together for the first time.  Years earlier, Bendu’s grandmother had told her that this song, which had been passed down in her village from mother to daughter for centuries, would one day reunite her to long-lost relatives.

In addition to finding out where in Africa her ancestors were abducted into slavery, Mary Moran discovered the meaning of the Mende song: a processional hymn for the final farewell to the spirit, it was sung in Senehun Ngola by women as they prepared the body of a loved one for burial.

(The OP's link leads to a site with a recording of the song sung by both Mary Moran and her mother, Amelia)

I got a job at a gas station across from a casino and a guy keeps coming in to buy whole cartons of cigarettes and talks in the third person calling himself "snake eyes pete" and every time I tell him his total hes like "tell ya what if old Pete rolls a snake eyes why dont you give it to him for free?" and he rolls the same set of loaded dice on the counter and it does not matter how many times he rolls snake eyes I will not give him the cartons for free he gets so mad

[grimeclown]

Snakeyes Pete is from Toronto he gave me a button once that said "Canadians have the best luck" and i said i thought that was the Irish and he said "I fucking hate the irish" and i said okay

Regarding Shane and Ilya getting hotel rooms with two beds in Sochi AU: Shane still gets hit by Marlow during the final Boston Montreal game of the 2016/2017 regular season and gets a concussion and a broken collarbone which doesn't affect their bed sharing habits because Ilya still has regular games to play, but Ilya's injured ribs during the playoffs? He survives the night after he gets them only because he's on painkillers, the lower dose used to avoid further injury makes it clear that sharing a bed with 200lbs of muscle is a very bad idea.

Ilya would like to keep breathing thank you very much! But! He'd also like to share a bed with his partner! He's very upset about that! Shane is upset about that!

They get back to Boston and have to sleep in the bedroom Ilya decorated for when he's hosting teammates kids (it's actually for the Pike children but shhhh) that has two full-size beds since they both sleep better when sharing a room - and Shane is very scared that Ilya will have trouble breathing (injured ribs do that to you).

They have to get a room with two beds at all of Ilya's away games during that playoffs season and obviously the internet finds out, but it isn't as bad as it could be since Ilya very publicly responds to the first "Trouble in Paradise? Hollander and Rozanov request hotel rooms with two beds" with "Yes, trouble is called upper body injury and mean doctors. Say that cuddling very sexy hockey player can make it worse 😢😔"

At least one of his teammates makes a post telling Boston not to worry, he can hear them still having sex

See I’m dying at this mental image because all I can think of is

Ilya, willing to roll the dice on trying to find a sleeping position in bed that allows him to both breathe and wake up to the sight of Shane Hollander’s freckles illuminated in the golden light of the morn: moya lyubimiy you are the most important thing in my world. I will take the risk if it means I can hold you

Shane, brings the same energy to the playoffs that he brought to purposefully escalating an international crisis: if you ever want to touch me again then for the next eight weeks the Stanley Cup is the most important thing in your world. Jesus Christ it’s like you don’t even love me

I've been thinking about Spaghetti the snake for three straight days, and you know how Harris has the little video series with some of the players? BBQing with Bood, Riding with Roz, something with Wyatt and comics... I offer you: Snakes with Shane. He shows off Spaghetti, answers common questions about snake ownership, and corrects common misconceptions. He doesn't want to be the Asian hockey player, and he doesn't want to be the Gay hockey player, but he will be the Snake hockey player.

i love the idea of shane just accepting that the world is going to try and box him into SOMETHING other than just hockey so FUCK IT

SNAKES

if herptology with hollzy means he doesn't get any more questions about gay culture that he cannot answer and doesn't want to learn about, then FINE

listen UP motherfuckers today we're talking about the importance of proper feeding schedules-

[penandinkprincess]

this is also me speaking from the outside so possible i'm wrong, but i feel like a significant portion of the snake community is queer people, and i am so delighted by the idea of shane just. stumbling his way into accidental queer community through the avenue of snakes.

i feel like it would be valuable for him being able to process that being gay doesn't have to be his defining trait and that he can embrace it without having to perform anything other than himself, and i also just find it extremely funny to imagine him just. not even knowing at first. it's like three years before he discovers miranda the milk snake has two moms and the triplets (three near-identical cornsnakes) are the triplets because they're owned by a triad that first met on a reptile forum when they discovered other people had a snake that looked like theirs.

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.

[ngalitzine]

Is proper grammar 🍑

[penandinkprincess]

I need you to know of its existence for #shallergies reasons

god, they truly created temptation for shane hollander specifically

[springtimesadness]

I can just imagine Shane and Ilya coming across this in the grocery store. Shane stops and stares at it. The two share a look. And Ilya just starts dying inside because how is he supposed to say no to this? Can he win this? What's stopping Shane from just coming back and buying a case on his own?

[penandinkprincess]

i mean it says "natural" flavors but only calls out being made with real ginger, so it might be fake mango

these could be the nicotine patches of shane's mango habit lmao

GOD this meaning people start coming to meet and greets with their snakes to say hi to shane and get a picture with him

and ilya meanwhile is just

because great. more snakes around him. all the fucking time. wonderful.

[penandinkprincess]

i just feel like if these "health" influencers really had perfect ideal diets, they wouldn't also need like. thirty+ supplements every single day.
